Chapter 1: Beginning
Silent late night, its winter in the land of water and this one has been especially cold. The civil war trodden Nation have just recently been able to find momentary peace of the ninja world when the rebellion finally cornered the loyalists by killing the yagura, the fourth mizukage. People still fear their own shadow and that's true for civilians, ninja or bloodlines population alike so it isn't surprising that they keep their doors shut at night time.
"It's so cold... "a small boy of 7 or maybe 8 year old trudged through the empty streets of the small town, his skinny frame has long dark hair kept semi long trusses that covered his nature green eyes when he looks wore a black black half sleeve shirt over a white t-shirt with grey cargo shorts that looks worse for wear.
'Shouldn't have moved from that ally ...but it was so boring there.'
"Hey ..."
'Like I'm having a lot of fun right now.(sigh)'
"Hey!"
"Whoa! What?" he whipped his head to a deep dark alley, squinting due to low light; he saw a girl huddled in the middle of the ally. She lifted her head from her knees and looked at him with deep honey coloured eyes.
"Hey can you help me. I'm cold"
He wanted to ask her what is she doing here alone, how did she got here, where are her parents but he has always been awkward around people so he didn't and rushed to picked her up from her spot.
"Come here, if we stick together it'll be warm."
She stood up shakily, he realised she must have here a long time since her legs have lost feeling due to her sitting position so he tried to steady her slowly.
"O-okay, thank you"
Boy just nodded "we need to find help." Noting how cold she was.
Walking out of alley they immediately felt the cold return with the wind causing them to clutch each other tight instinctively. Realising this,they both chuckle.
"What are you kids doing here at this time?"
They looked up to see an old women standing in front of a small house. The boy moved ahead to shield the girl slightly, old woman didn't miss this and smirked internally.
'We need help, let's see how this goes...deep breath, no big deals just check your corners but the girl is making me nervous '
"We need help, we have nowhere to go lady."
She turned back towards the house. "Well then come on in it gets lonely here sometimes." She said Looking back with an eye smile. They both smiled too.
20 minutes later
They sat on a futon besides a fire place inside a warm blanket sipping tea.
"Thank you lady" boy bowed his head and girl nodded, she was busy with the tea.
"Think nothing of it, like I said it was a bit lonely and call me granny miyo. What are your names?"
They felt at ease by her motherly smile. "I'm..." "I'm..."
Both kids looked at each other realising they didn't know others name.
"Hi, I'm satoshi michio and you?" he asked with a small smile.
'Michio will work for now'
"Hello, my name is Miyuki Mura" She answered brightly.
'Wow, she looks cute' this is the first time he focused on her looks, she had long brunette hair in pony tail with two small bangs on sides. Light peach skin slightly marred with dust from days of living on streets, she wore a blue and white dress that looked expensive. 'No sandals? '
"Pretty, Beautiful snow from the village. It fits you somehow."
She blushed at the comment and muttered a thank you looking down.
Seeing the interaction the old women smirked and said." OK time for bed kids, we'll talk tomorrow."
"Okay" they spoke already sleepy with the warm in the room.
Next morning came a bit early for the liking of satoshi and miyuki as they were really enjoying cuddling with each other in the winter morning. Satoshi yawned and saw miyuki smiling at him; he returned the smile as they sat up.
"Oh you're up, i was about to wake you two up. Breakfast time." old miyo went out of the room again after saying that.
"Let's go satoshi"
"Yep"
He heard her giggling.
'What?'
During breakfast
The room of breakfast was simple just like the rest of the house with a familial vibe, a small wood table with four chairs on each side of it.
"Thanks again granny, you saved us."
"My, You're really are polite but I'll be irritated if you thank me one more time. i said its fine, really. OK satoshi-Chan?"
'Sigh...might as well.'
"Okay, granny miyo."
Her eyes seemed to shine hearing him call her that.
"How did you both got here?, you don't look like siblings."
Miyuki decided she would go first.
"My parents were killed in the last kaguya clan attack before they were wiped out. I was lucky." Her dulled eyes left satoshi at a loss of word, for him it was equal to being powerless.
'Damn'
"i was in an orphanage but it got destroyed because ninja thought it was refuge to bloodlines population...that was three years ago. I found miyuki in that alley just yesterday. "
'I can't go home yet, besides i haven't learned anything yet.'
"Poor children." I got out of my musing and miyuki twitched too. "You can stay here as long as you want."
Satoshi felt the urge to thank her again though he curbed it, no use annoying her.
"Granny, do you anything about ninja arts. You know how i can learn?"
Hearing this old miyo was interested. "why do wanna learn ninja arts, you wanna be a ninja?"
He thought for a bit, it somehow seemed an important question no matter how lightly she asked it.
Then he shook his head."Not necessarily. I just wanna survive." His answer was genuine but the old miyo realized that there was more to it than just that.
"Very well, I could teach you if you want...I'm a retired kunoichi."
Satoshi blew out a huge grin for the first time both of them saw him.
'bingo, hehe '
"Really! You will? That's awesome."
"Ano...i would like to learn too." miyuki joined in. Satoshi felt a different kind of happy feeling knowing that they would learn together that showed when he gave her a thumbs up.
"Of course, sweetie; we will begin tomorrow."
