A scream could be heard though out an old run down house. This scream was that of a child, a child that had just woken up from a terrible nightmare. This child was afraid, afraid that the nightmare was real and not just a dream. The small frail child sat up in its bed and cried. The child didn't hear the door open or had felt someone place themselves on its bed.

"My dear child what is it that troubles you so? Why do you scream and weep?" An angel like voice said.

The child looked up to the stranger and noticed that it wasn't a stranger, but its own mother. The child went and hugged its mother tightly, to make sure that she was real and would not leave. The mother held her child in her arms trying to silence it and make the troubles go away. Once the child had calmed down to small hiccups the mother asked, "Now my angel, what troubles you so?"

The child was still shaken up and couldn't form a single word. The child took a shaky breath to calm its nerves. Then spoke in a shaken voice, "Mother, *Sniffle* … I h-had a b-b-bad dream."

"What happened in this bad dream of yours dear" asked of the mother?

"I-i d-dreamed t-that you … D-died" the child whispered.

After the child had told the mother what happened in its nightmare, the child started to weep once more. The mother held her child tighter to herself; she knew that her child's dream was not a dream. Instead it was a small vision of the future and what was to come.

The mother started to speak once more as she wiped her child's tears away, "My child. Listen to these words I am about to tell you. I love you and always will, even if some day I do pass on to the next world. I want you to know that I'm always with you through the moon, the stars, and also I will be in your heart," the mother pointed her finger to the child's heart, "When you feel sad or feel alone look to the night sky, and remember that you are never alone, no matter what has happened."

The child looks to its mother and listened to every word of wisdom and nodded its head in understanding. The child was very smart and knew to never forget its mother's words. It would always remember the words and would pass it on to anyone who was willing to listen.

"Mother will you sing to me" the child pleaded?

The mother looked down at her child and smiled, "Of course I will. What song would you like?"

"C-can you sing me the lullaby, please?"

"Of course my child." The mother moved into the bed more, so that her and the child where lying side by side. She started to sing,

"Little baby,

Hear my voice

I'm beside you,

O maiden fair

Our young Lady,

Grow and see

Your land, your own faithful land

Sun and moon,

Guide us

To the hour of our glory and honor

Little baby,

Our young Lady

Noble maiden fair"

Then the child joined in and started to sing with its mother.

"Little baby,

Hear my voice

I'm beside you,

O maiden fair

Our young Lady,

Grow and see

Your land, your own faithful land

Sun and moon,

Guide us

To the hour of our glory and honor

Little baby,

Our young Lady

Noble maiden fair"

Once the mother and child finished the lullaby, the child yawned and fell back asleep. The mother climbed out of her child's bed and tucked the child under the blanket.

"Good bye my child, please remember this lullaby because this is the last you will hear it from me. I'm sorry that I must go, but this is how it must be. I love you and I hope you become a great, strong, powerful ninja like I know you will."

The mother stared at her child then put a box and envelope on its night stand. She took off her necklace and set it on top of the envelope. She then made some hand sighs and everything on the night stand disappeared. The mother had set a seal into place on the objects, so that when she passed on they would be visible once more when the time was right. She then kissed her child's head for the last time and then left the room. She closed the door as quietly as she could and walked to the living room to wait and greet her death.

'I guess this is to be my last night on Earth. I had such a good time and finally got the child I always wished and dreamed I would have. I'm just sad and disappointed that I won't be able to help my child grow up.'

The mother was so deep in thought that when she suddenly felt a cold sword at her throat. She had jumped a little in surprise that she didn't feel him come up be hide her.

"Hello, my sweet," a man hissed.

"Hello, my love," hissed back the mother.

It was silent between the two old lovers for a while, and then the man spoke again with a sigh and sadness in his voice, "Why couldn't you have just turned evil and joined me? Then I wouldn't be forced to kill you, we could have lived happily together."

The mother spoke back to the man, "You already know the answer to that question, my love. It is and always will be my nature to be kind and loving, you can't change nature. You should know that my love since you is also part nature, just as I am."

All he could think about was how right she was, but he also knew that no matter how much he loved her she could no longer live. She knows too much about him and if the information she carries got into the wrong hands he might just end up dead in a matter of days.

"My sweet you are correct you cannot change, just as I cannot" he then sighed "So now I must kill you even if you have my heart and undying love."

"I already know this my love and I shall not fight back. All I ask are for two simple wishes."

The man didn't have to think twice about letting her have two last wishes, "And what are these last wishes of yours?"

"I ask of you to make my death as quick and painless as possible and to also, if you must, kill our daughter with no pain."

The man was shocked at the new information he had just received. He couldn't form a single word from the shock he had just received. After a while he got over his shock and lowered his head down to his lover ear, "My dear sweet Spida. I shall grant you these last wishes, but I must tell you that our daughter will die tonight, please, I hope you can understand."

"I understand Orochimaru, my love. Just please try to not hurt our daughter to much, she is all and everything to me."

"I promise," was all Spida heard before she felt him kiss her and then everything went black.

'Goodbye my daughter. I'm sorry.'
