CHAPTER ONE Recalling

Eight-year-old Hunter chased his seven-year-old female companion through the grassy plains behind the Thunder Ninja Academy.

"Come on Hunter!" she yelled back to him, laughing from the thrill of this. Hunter smirked and picked up the pace.

"Come here you," he said, pouncing on her and bringing them both to the ground. They laughed while rolling around on the ground. They caught each other's eyes as they sat up, only to be interrupted by young Blake in the distance.

"Hey you two!! It's time to eat!!" he yelled to his brother and friend.

"We're coming!!!" Hunter responded. He quickly got up and held his hand out to her as she got up herself. When she was fully on her feet, she noticed that he had not let go of her hand. She looked from her hand to his eyes, the soft blue eyes gazing down at her.

"Hunter.," she began softly. Hunter stopped by slowly leaning in and softly kissing her on the lips. He slowly pulled away and looked at her.

"You are my heart," he told her. She smiled up at him. Nothing needed to be said as the two walked hand in hand back to their Academy. Neither one of them was completely sure how much time had passed but it did not matter once they got back because of the chaos that was at hand. A small crowd of people were arguing with their Sensei. The children took notice that these people were in Ninja outfits too, but they differed from the Thunder Academy. Blake had been standing behind the Sensei when he looked over to see the two. Taking a chance, he ran towards them.

"RUN!!! Get out of here, they're after her!" he yelled to them, frantically hoping it would work. The two were too stunned to move.

"WHAT?!" she yelled to her friend, completely distraught over what was going on.

"That's right my dear. I'm afraid that you will no longer be attending this academy. For you see, your real parents have found you and want you to come live with them. I'm afraid there is nothing I can do," Sensei said simply, a small hint of sadness filled not only his voice but could be seen in his eyes. Tears stained her face at what was being told.

"NO, I'M NOT GOING!!! MY HOME IS HERE!! HUNTER, BLAKE, I DON'T WANT TO LEAVE YOU GUYS!!!" she screamed with all her heart as she buried herself into an embrace with Hunter. He held her with all his heart and might, for he could think of nothing else to do as the men who had been arguing with Sensei approached them.

"Come on girl, time to leave," one said annoyingly as they pried her away from Hunter.

"NO HUNTER!!" she screamed, kicking and punching to get free.

"LET HER GO!!" he yelled back, attempting to run after them, only to be stopped by Sensei.

"I'm sorry Hunter, but she must go," he replied. Hunter looked from Sensei to his brother, to see that he was heartbroken at losing her too, for tears fell from his eyes as they were from Hunter's. He finally looked over as the mysterious men carried his heart away.

"NO!!!" Eighteen-year-old Hunter Trejo screamed as he jumped awake from the nightmare he was having. Sweat covered his shirtless body as he tried desperately to catch his breath, in order to slow his heartbeat. He slowly laid his head back and grasped his leather strapped necklace with colored beads on them. The two in the center being red.

"Ani," he said quietly, a tear flowing down his face.
