Sasuke was heading toward the clearing in the forest to practice with the targets. After Naruto was beaten to a pulp by Sakura, they all went their separate ways for the rest of the day.
After day had turned into night, Sasuke decided to practice his shruiken throwing today, until, as he came closer, he heard someone already there. He jumped quickly up to a tree and looked upon the scene in the clearing.
Kagami threw yet another row of shruiken at the tree, each once falling into the center of the target. As she reached for more shruiken, she realized she had no more. She then fell down into a sitting position on the ground, her mind suddenly racing with thoughts.
Her distraction gone, her mind thought of that dream again. She came to practice her shruiken because of that dream.
In her dream she is running along a wooded path. Her vision, as in all of her dreams, is in black and white. As she runs, she sees a light. She starts to head towards it, but the lights starts to fade. She starts to run harder, but she never reaches it, a high, cold laugh starts to ring in her ears, and then she wakes up from the nightmare, dripping in cold sweat.
As Kagami sat there in the clearing, a thought, like a distant memory came to her. She thought about a woman with beautiful dark hair lying on the ground, a pale as death. The woman's lips moved slowly to form shaky, quiet words. "Musume, my time has come. Take care of them. Take care of your clan…" the words faded away as the woman's last breath escaped her lips. "OKASAAN!!!!" a girl screamed. Kagami couldn't see the girl. She also saw that she could move her head around. Then a realization hit her. That was her screaming! Her mother died in front of her very eyes a long time ago.
"Okasaan…" Kagami said, softly at first. She repeated again, louder this time. Then the tears started to stream steadily down her face as she screamed out one last time. Then she stopped for a minute. She remembered her mother saying to take care of her clan. What clan? That was a new mystery to her. She pondered this, until she felt another presence in the trees.
Sasuke watched Kagami as she cried out for her mother. This was a totally different side of her than what he saw earlier that day. He watched her, and a new felling came up inside him. It was remorse. He felt guilty for some strange reason. He decided to repress that feeling, and take another look at what was happening. Just in time too, as a kunai came whizzing at him. He quickly jumped down from the tree branch to dodge the kunai, and happened to land right in front of Kagami.
"What the hell are you doing here!!?" Kagami yelled angrily at Sasuke. Sasuke shrugged and quickly turned around to run back home. But as soon as he turned around, a foot collided with his back, knocking him down.
"What the-" Sasuke started to say but another kick aimed at his stomach and he rolled quickly to avoid it.
Kagami stopped over to him and lifted him by the scruff of his collar. "You little son of a bitch! What did you hear!!? Tell me!" she shouted angrily at Sasuke. "Wait, never mind. Just don't tell anyone what you heard! NO ONE!!! OR ELSE I'LL PERSONALLY HUNT YOU DOWN AND RIP YOUR VERY THROAT OUT!!" she said, growing louder each word she spoke.
Sasuke struggled a little bit, and then said through gritted teeth, "Fine. Have your way. Just let me down now."
She slowly put him down, not taking her hate filled eyes off of him. "Go," she said forcefully through closed teeth. She put him down harshly and pushed him away. Sasuke grimaced and then jumped up into the trees to go home.
Kagami was mortified. That boy saw a part of her never shown before! The part she had tried so hard to keep suppressed! What was she going to do now! She went over to the target and quickly put her shruiken back into her pouch, and set off at a pace to return to her apartment.
