Chapter 1: Hinata
I was five when I first felt the urge to kill…
"Tweet, tweet, tweet, tweet," Hinata awoke to the sound of a bird singing outside of her window. She propped herself on her forearms and watched the creature with curious eyes. Kill it…
When it called out to me… I listened…
Hinata then sat up and swung her legs over her bed, still watching the bird sit in the tree, singing. Kill it, now… She hopped off her bed and walked silently down the stairs. When she got to the kitchen, she reached into a cabinet and fetched some bird feed.
Hinata walked around to the back of the house where the bird she was watching was at. As soon as the bird was in her sight, she poured the feed into her hand and froze as the bird flew out of the tree and towards her opened palm.
And then I waited… I simply waited…
Hinata's mother, Hikari, awoke to the sound of frantic tweeting coming from the outside of her window. She pushed herself up with some difficulty, seeing as she was seven and a half months pregnant with her second child. Hikari looked outside her window and saw her first daughter, Hinata, in the courtyard. 'What is she doing?'
Hinata's back was facing her, and her arms were shaking. Hikari walked out of the room she shared with Hiashi, he was out on a mission and had left earlier that morning. When she got around to the back, she saw Hinata and heard the frantic tweeting once more. "Hinata…?" she asked. Hinata did not answer, her arms continued to shake.
Hikari walked up behind Hinata and gasped at the scene before her. The frantic twittering had come from a little bird being crushed in Hinata's hands. "…Let it go, Hinata." Hikari asked. Hinata squeezed tighter and the bird cried louder. "Let it go, Hinata, please!" Hikari pleaded with her daughter. Hinata still did not let go.
Her mother knelt down slowly, and placed her hands on Hinata's. Hikari linked her fingers in with Hinata's and gradually pried her hands open, releasing the bird. Hikari looked at Hinata's face as she watched the bird fly away, her expression was emotionless.
"Hinata…?" She turned to face her mother. Hikari gulped visibly, not sure what to do… Then she had an idea. "I can… I think I know how to help you."
Little Hinata just stared at her mother, her face still indifferent even after her mother's statement. "In fact… He'll be here today." Hikari smiled. Hinata still remained unresponsive. Her mother just sighed and hugged her daughter. "My little sunny place…"
Oh, how wrong she would be…

Stephano Hungary: Okay, so here's chapter 1, and I hoped you liked it, and chapter 2 should be up soon.
Preview of Chapter 2:
I never cared for parties that much. "Oh, she's adorable, Hikari!" "I know, she's too cute!" "I bet your next child will be just as sweet."
Too many people talked about how cute I was. It definitely got annoying really fast.
Suddenly, the another family approached Hikari, and a black-haired woman stared at Hinata. "She really is cute. Isn't she, Fugaku?" she asked the man standing beside her. He looked down as well, "Well, I dare say she is, Mikoto."
Hinata stared at the family. "Say hello to the Uchiha's, Hinata." Hikari nudged her daughter. "…Hello." She greeted softly before looking down. "You two say hello as well. Go on, don't be shy." Fugaku told his sons. "Hi." The little black-haired boy said. "A little brief, don't you think, Sasuke?" the taller boy asked. Sasuke blushed lightly and turned his head. "Excuse him, my name's Itachi. Nice to meet you, Hinata…"
Hinata looked up at the boy who just spoke.
That's when I first saw him…
He chuckled at her widened eyes.
Itachi Uchiha…
