Chapter 2- Reika Hyuga
The first few months following my birth were… uneventful to say the least. I really don't remember much as my senses were all over the place. This meant that I was not able to distinguish what was going on around me.
Despite this, I knew the exact moment that I was born. With my senses funny, I was barely able to comprehend what was happening. I went from warm, to cold, to warm again. I was then transferred into the waiting arms of my now-mother. I could feel the heat and the slight tremble in her limbs as she clutched me tightly to her chest. Drops of what I realized were water fell onto to me, and although my hearing sucked, I could remember the faint words that were whispered to me.
"Kami-sama." She cried. "Thank you."
Half a year later, I would start to realize that I could feel something like blood rushing through my veins. It was slightly uncomfortable, but not painful. It was strange, it made me feel somewhat powerful. And whatever it was, there was a lot of it!
As I focused on it, the feeling would intensify. The first time I did that, I freaked out. I was crying because I was a fucking baby and couldn't do anything else!
A year later, I would come to recognize this substance as chakra and would place myself in this fucked up world.
The other thing I did know, was that my memory was still intact. It was quite weird. I would have thought would have started with a blank slate… Like John Locke's theory? But for some reason I could remember everything. I even remembered the damn cat that liked to meow and piss at my door every night…
Asshole. I kind of missed him. This world was somewhat strange to me, despite my previous knowledge. It was all new and wasn't what I was used to. I was wary.
In other words…. This led to the day when I started to recognize things.
I'll tell you the truth… I was terrified. At seven months, I was finally able to recognize oddities in the world around me. For one thing, neither of my parents had any pupils.
I reached out to touch my one of my now-father's white eyes. He peeked out from the other, a small smile gracing his lips as he watched me. He had straight brown hair and a silver insignia on his forehead. To my surprise, on it was the shape of a leaf. To be honest… I was surprised it took me that long to realize it. By a while I mean a few days from the first time I was able to see clearly what the insignia the head band was to grasp what it meant.
When I did figure it out, I screamed, flailing my little arms. I was scared, confused and was wondering who had a grudge against me.
Fucking Office Lady.
The world that I now lived in was something I was already familiar with. VERY FAMILIAR!
I had spent years and years sitting on my bed, in my underwear and sport's bra, eating ice cream and, sometimes, nursing a concussion or healing from other injuries, or at least trying to, watch this show. At first it was something to pass the time, then eventually it became more than that. I had followed the plot line religiously, seeing the episode as soon as it came out, buying the series as soon as it was on DVD. I connected with the characters and used it to escape my painful life. It is quite ironic that I actually got the chance to live it now.
"Shhh~ Reika-chan" my now-mother took me in her arms and cradled me. My now-father looked over her shoulder clearly worried.
"Did I do something?" he asked her. My 'mother' rolled her eyes before attempting to feed me.
I'll skip that part… it was quite embarrassing.
With time, came more realization of where I was born. And to what family.
As you have probably figured out, I was a citizen of Kohona. The leaf sign on my father's insignia was a testimony to that. This came at a shook for me. Before being reborn, if anyone would have asked me which village I would picture myself being born in. I would have said either Ame or Kiri. Out of all the villages, those where the ones which I believed to be the most fucked up (Hence The Bloodline Wars and Hanzo's Tyrany). What a fitting scene for someone as messed up as me.
As for the family? I'm sure you have already realized it. Both of my parents had white eyes and straight brown hair. This meant that they were part of the Hyuga clan. And in extension, this applied to me as well.
I was set down on the floor and sat up in front of a closet door. I touched my reflection in the large mirror. I had the same pupiless light purple-white eyes as my whole clan with the brown hair of my mother. And I didn't know how I felt about that.
The Hyuga were a very traditional clan, but as you probably guessed... I wasn't. I would later find out that I was part of the branch family as both of my parents had the caged bird seal. This meant that once I came of age…. I would be getting it as well.
Anxiety bloomed in my chest and I furrowed my brows. I was going to be trapped. A bird in a cage once again to be a shield to others and entertainment for everyone else.
A spit of laughter came from behind me. The sudden noise surprised me and I fell over onto my back. I whined and flailed my arms trying to pick myself back up. Stupid motor skills. This caused the suspects to laugh harder. I looked over and my now- mother came towards me. She raised me in her arms and I looked back at my reflection.
The lower part of the mirror was fogged up. I shrugged. I guess I was too close to the mirror if my breath fogged it up.
And thus i took advantage of being a child and cuddled close to my now-mother, I didn't have this type of affection in my past life. So I soaked it up now while i could, because after...
All this will be gone.
My Karma had followed me.
-.-

P.S. I can't help but say this, but If anyone is looking for a knew place for a vacation... Thasos Island is the perfect place. It is the perfect mixture of modern and historical. You can find ruins everywhere, and bars galore. If you like Hiking they have an amazing Acropolis which toy can hike up. And if you just like the beach, There are beaches everywhere with water as clear as Figi! It even has a marble quarry you can jump off of in Aliki! Second time going and it never gets boring
