ENJOY! TEEHEE!

Last time on unexpected meetings...

"Heh, nice to talk, but we've got bigger problems right now," he pointed to their so called father, who was coming towards them, tears leaking from his face, bordering between sadness and frustration, and pitchfork in hand.

The traumatized girl held on to her brother as hard as she could. He was right above them, and there they were, waiting for the final blow. But it never came. Confused, they looked up, and Sakura screamed. "Shhhh, it's ok," he said as he tried to soothe his obviously distressed sister. To Haku, his father wasn't so bad. The only bad thing was the giant icicle stuck right through him... (Dun dun dun!)

"Oh God..." the young boy was ready to collapse on top of his sister from the shock, from both the dead father and the many ice spears sticking up from the ground. but he had to stay strong for that her sake. "Come on Sakura, let's go," Haku pulled his now sobbing younger sister onto her feet.

"Ok..." They maneuvered around the ice, and once they were out, they were greeted by a flurry of snowflakes.

"How Ironic..." Haku said. They made their way onto the streets where they would be living now. Sure they weren't that rich before, but this was just insane!

After 3 weeks...

"I can't take this anymore!" Sakura just suddenly burst out suddenly burst out early one day.

"Huh? What's the matter?"

"I can't take this anymore! I don't really mind everything else, but I can't even sleep at night being all paranoid that I might get separated from you!"

"Oh. Right... Well, i've been thinking about that for a while now, and if you want, you can leave."

"What?" Her expression was one of pure disbelief.

"Yeah, if you really want to you can leave than go. Even though I really don't want you to, this really isn't a good place for a kid"

"You're a kid too!"

"Yeah, but still!"

"NO I don't want to leave you here all alone! And I might get lost! And- and if something happens to you, then I wouldn't be here to help you..."

"What?" Haku said, his tone was confused, yet amused.

"If I leave, then, if you get hurt, then I wouldn't be here to help you!"she started to get tears in her eyes. It wasn't long until she was crying in her brother's arms again.

"Oh, you're worried about 'lil old me? Well I'll be all right! I can take care of myself," he stated, a fake smile on his lips. As his sister got up to leave he took something out from his pocket, "Wait, here." he handed her what looked like a crystal shaped like a minature kunai; "If I did it correctly, then it shouldn't melt for as long as I live and if I do get hurt for some reason, then it should melt little by little until it disappears, so you will always know if I'm okay or not!" As he handed it to her, she started tearing up. 'by then, I should be dead!' he added in his head.

She hugged him with all her strength as tears started flowing from her eyes, "Haku you better promise me that this shuriken will NEVER melt! If it does, than I'll be really sad, and mad at you. And you know what? I promise! once I'm old enough to travel on my own, I'll come back here! And show you what a super strong ninja I've become!"

"Sure! Now get going super strong ninja."

"Bye!" she picked up the backpack her brother had gotten for her. As Haku watched his only family member walking away into the rising sun, he started wondering to himself "She better come back!"

Yes! my 2nd chapter! Ok so just to bite confusion in the bun(well that's gross!) before it shows up.
