Author's P.O.V.
In this little village, this peaceful little village, sat a rundown little orphanage. Every window was boarded and every room's roof had a hole somewhere, but this structure was barely enough to hold the happiness and love that seemed to light this place. The building was run by and old man, and his younger wife, Hanako. Thouh they were atleast ten years apart, she loved him like no other and he did her with a ferver that none had seen before in someone his age. The couple, sadly, were not able to have children, so in stead they opened up an orphanage. In this way, they could share all of the love that they had to give. Over the years, children came and went; They all came with their own sad stories-they all left with smiles on their faces and an excited warmh in their hearts. Unfortunately for one little girl, her new family never came for her.
Little Taiyoko never got the chance to know that, besides Mr. and Mrs.
Tanaka, someone wanted her. From infancy, she watched her roommates come and go. To give her something too do besides sit at the window all day waiting for her family to come and get her, the couple signed her up for the ninja academy. Her hot tmper nd quick witt were easily to use with her training...but she remained isolated and alone.
One year, around age 8, she sat in the branches of the giant tree at the entrance of the Academy. Closing her eyes, she found peace in her own little world. She fantasized about a family, mother, a father, and an older brother to protect her from the bullies that would pick on her and call her "Orphan Girl". She was suddenly pulled from her thoughts when she heard myriads of angry voices and shouts in the distance.
"Get back here, demon!"
"We aren't through with you yet!"
"You can't run forever, devil!"
She heard these words, quickly concealing herself in the higher branches. She heard footsteps rapidly coming up the road. From her hiin place, Taiyoko peered down and a group of teenaged boys holding kunai.
This being one of the most bizarre sight she had ever witnesed, she looked on.
"You got away this time, demon, but I'll catch you tomorrow.", the leader said,sheathing his sword.
The boys departed, and as if on cue a small blonde haired boy emerged from the shadows and ran down the oposite side of the dirt road. His hair was a mess and his ocelean eyes were wide and frantic, his clothes looking stretched and ripped. A long trail of blood startedat his hairline and traveled down the left side of his neck. As soon as he appeared, he left.
She did not fullyunderstand at the time, but she decided something that day.
His eyes were her favorite color.
