Disclaimer: If I did, would I be here?
Theresa felt herself being lifted up.
She was a child of course,what did she know as she gagged and giggled at her supposed mother.
But the blaring in her head continued even further.
I don't belong here
When she turned one, it was a celebration of sorts.
cake, food, sweets and most of all presents.
On her birthday, her father gave her something unique.
A kunai,a freaking kunai and yet that same thing that blared in her when she was a baby came out again but with a different sentence.
Naruto
It surprised her, who is Naruto? why didn't she belong here?
She clenched the kunai in her supposed hands as it began to bleed, the little red liquid seeped from her hand as her mother rushed to her side.
A short scolding followed by, watching her mother wrap the bandage around her palm.
And when she was done, Theresa looked up to her and asked
"Mother, who is Naruto?
Her mother simply screamed
Theresa knew there was something utterly wrong
The air was tense and full of an intent
killing intent
She huffed as she squatted down,the toy that lay by the side, provided no interest as she squirmed to look at it.
It was dark
very dark
But a slash of wind and she was out.
She felt herself being dropped into water as she struggled to breathe, she opened her eyes sluggishly to see.
A man with pale skin looked at her with snake like eyes.
Orochimaru
Who is orochimaru? She did not know especially where all these random names came from, but she did know one thing.
That name meant no good.
She floated in the water, held by a single cord.
She laid there for days, weeks, months.
Her hair turned purple and her eyes orange.
No one knew that Orochimaru had the DNA of Konan and Nagato
Really, no one cared
But she would be the combination of both.
When next she would open her eyes, she saw Orochimaru
and an old man
with bandages and a scar
Danzo
Theresa threw her hands up
who was Naruto?
who was Orochimaru?
who is Danzo?
She hated the fact she felt so small in her body.
should babies even have this type of thought?
She did not know and she was anxious,
but her baby mind blanked out before she could think.
When next she opened her eyes,she was in the arms of someone
The rush of wind filled her face
The person carrying her ran forward jumping from tree to tree
Every normal baby should have screamed
but Theresa was curious and kept the wailing to herself
As if on motion, the person jumped down from a tree and landed first forward with a bunch of leaves.
Theresa merely laughed
She was an odd child for her age.
The man dropped her beside him, muttering
Tsuru
He vanished in thin sight leaving the baby to her own devices.
and for the first time Theresa wailed and screamed
Like a child
Like her age
Loneliness was her weakness.
She was drooling next when she awoke as a bright, burning light was cast in her direction
Theresa stood up straight, preparing for a group of shinobi
Instead three measly women came front
They were three in number as the one in the middle, bent forward to look at her
A look of disgust etched on her face as she tried picking her up and dusting her through
Theresa still wary of touching, didn't respond but merely wailed out
She was tired of this!
The one at the left barely took notice of her as she, unlike the two, bent forward to pick the scroll that laid on the floor
Its tattered appearance didn't bother her as she stuffed it into her apron and called the other ladies to follow them
The grunt of approval and shoving of feet showed respect
I think
The chatter between the three women started as soon a they left the forest
None of them bothered to check if she had eaten or who she was? but instead they picked her up and claimed her
Brats she thought crossly
What are brats?
A small voice in her head told her the answer
Bad
and even little Theresa knew the meaning of that.
She puffed her cheeks and sulked on it a while, before the one named Minako(who was carrying her) snapped her finger causing Theresa to lose her grip, fortunately, she tightened her grip on Minako's hair.
Minako's scream could kill anyone
She didn't still understand how Minako's face could turn from sour to well, normal.
She pointed her fingers to the baby, who was carried by the old lay who took the scroll namely called Miho.
"Honey, what's you name?"
Theresa puffed out her cheeks again
"Tsuru!"
Miho looked at her carefully for a moment bandages and all, before asking
"Are you sure Dear?"
Theresa nodded her head vigorously as she popped her finger into her mouth
and that was what they called her.
When they appeared in front of a building, Tsuru was suprised, it was big, Were they allowed to keep this type of house? She thought still sucking her thumb.
Children playing about, women...
Wait!Children?
Yes, they were lots of children playing indoors and she heard Minako shout?
She looked ahead where a tub of water was waiting, Miho stripped what she was wearing and dropped her voluminously inside.
It reminded her when she was dropped in Orochimaru lab.
Miho started scrubbing her head, nose, back everywhere
She hadn't taken a bath for like a year
She needed this
Soon afterwards, she was taken and a towel was used to scrub I mean, clean her up.
Soon Minako ran inside throwing the kimono and cosmetic hazardously on the floor, Miho picked it without a word.
She then proceeded to rubbing her the cosmetics.
Not a word came out of their mouths as Miho worked on her simple Kimono after wards, It was short sleeved and dark blue in color.
Tsuru tummy rumbled.
Some how it broke the silence, both people smiling at each other ( well, Miho was smirking and Tsuru face was flushed and embarrassed.)
The bell rung as Miho swept her off her feets and took her to the dining
That place was big and filled with a long tables, Miho walked straight to Minako and dumped Tsuru in her arms, still flushed after the last incident Tsuru allowed her to lead
They went to a table where two more seats were available
A blonde boy sat at one
Minako looked grim as she pounded her fists on the table leaving the plates to clatter and jump up and also Tsuru to slide down her waist and sit down.
She looked at the blonde whiskered boy before shouting in a low voice.
"LEAVE SCUM! YOU'RE NOT WANTED!"
The boy started clearing his pates before she cleared her throat, The blonde looked at her when she gave him one of her dazzling grins and gave Minako a glare too.
Minako turned to look at her, her face scrunched in anger she prepared to scream before she saw something at the corner of her eye
Miho
She scuttled out before she entered trouble
Wise Thinking
From that day on, blonde stuck to her like glue.
She didn't mind
She was often lonely
Besides he said his name was Naruto
does that mean anything?
She giggled with Naruto over the prank he played on Minako, today. on her birthday.
She was turning three while Naruto was five
He was so good at this
But a large booming screamed at the top of her lungs
TSURU!
Both kids shared a knowing look
oh on
Tsuru entered the small room where Miho sat
She tightened the grip of the bandage on her head
Flashback
"Remember Tsuru, don't show this mark to anyone!"
Tsuru nodded her head
Miho sighed
" I mean no one, apart if your adopted parents are ninjas and you really trust them, got it!"
Tsuru nodded again
Miho smiled at her and stood, gently moving to her, she pointed to the person behind the door
"Shinmaru-san, you can come in now "
Danzo came inside
Tsuru gulped
Phew that was long, gotta sleep, review love you all! My punctuation stinks...
