Autumn was always my favorite season. The hot summer days faded into cool breezes, and the trees surrounding our home now had patches of color. Patterns of red and yellow decorated our white home, falling at a steady pace preparing for the winter. It is now late in my seventeenth year, and i'm proud to say I have grown up a lot. My hair now reaches my hips, and i am now taller then my mother was at my age. Still, my family reminds me that I am a mirror image of her when she was with us and this makes me very happy. Almost everyday me and my younger sister Hanabi go for a walk along the forest. With our mother gone, me and her are the only two females in our household, making us very close. We have a strange relationship because we never talk. Instead we enjoy silence together and in a way we can read each others minds by simply making eye contact. This happened earlier today when our father ask to go on our walk with us. Hanabi and I shared a confused glance but quickly excepted our fathers request. He never once asked to go with us before, in fact during the day he always works so we never see him. "Hinata..?" My father spoke awkwardly.

"Yes father" I spoke not looking at him but letting my eyes trace the trees. The forest was in a peaceful mood today, and the sky was cloudless.

He paused as if trying to find the words to say. "Your almost 18 now" It was true. Father never found a husband for me so I was still a pure maiden. In a way I hoped my he wanted to keep me as his little girl forever but I believe the sad reality is that he just couldn't find anyone good enough to lead the clan. "I believe I found a husband for you"

My body tightened as the shock hit me, but I remained calm. Still not looking in my father's direction i replied "Oh.. and who is he?"

"A strong man from the Uchiha clan. He is the second son of the clan leader and I believe your marriage will settle the feud between us." The Uchiha were know for being cruel but strong. I've heard people call them a 'cursed clan' on multiple occasions. Dread almost immediately hit me but I decided not to say anything. The rest of the walk was dead silent. My sister said nothing but after a few moments placed a hand on my arm. I smiled at her and placed my hand on top of hers. She was such a strong and smart girl. Taking after my father in almost every way but she still had my mothers beauty. Once home father announced my arranged marriage to the rest of our family. Everyone was ecstatic and I did my best to keep my emotions hidden under a smile.

That night I stayed up looking out the window, my Anxiety making it hard to breathe. I was restless and wanted to through up. The wedding was already scheduled for the 30th of this month. Finally I stood up and slipped on my robe. It was much to small for me, revealing way to much skin for a young lady but it was a beautiful shade of dark red. I opened my window slowly careful not to make noise and crawled out. It didn't take long to sneak past the guards and into the field next to our home. A cold breeze brushed agents my legs as I stood there, breathing in the fresh air and trying to relax. Out of the corner of my eye i suddenly caught a glimpse of white in the forest. I stood there in awe completely frozen until i heard a guard walking my way. With out hesitation I stumbled towards my fox.

It didn't take long before the field and my house were out of eye shot. The last time I was here was almost five years ago and I could tell the forest changed as much as me. Vines and spiderwebs were much more common and it was really... quiet. I could scene no life anywhere around me, the only noise was the sound of wind hitting the trees and the crunch of leaves under my own foot. The only movement I could see were the splashes of white my protector left for me to follow. But when they stopped. I wasn't afraid, instead I slowed my pace and continued to keep and eye out. It wasn't long till I hit a small clearing of trees, a stream ran through the rocks in a curved line. A large rock that was decorated with gashes stood next to me. Taking in the familiar land I just stayed as still and quiet as the nature around me. Until something across the stream caught my eye. In a soft looking patch of clover sat my fathers old knife I had stolen so many years ago. Stepping over the Clear water I picked it up admiring the rusty thing.

"You planing on killing me?"

I gasped and turned around. A man sat on the rock just a yard away from me. I was about to run but then I noticed his nine fox tails. letting the knife drop from my hands I whispered "N-no.." He stood up but didn't attempt to come closer to me. Almost as if he was letting me get a good look at his human form. He was taller then me but shorter then my father, his shaggy blond hair covered his still noticeably red eyes and fox ears. The whiskers on his face seemed so out of place, reminding me of a cat instead of a fox, but the thing demanding my attention most was the seal on his stomach. It was a rather big tattoo of a swirl surrounding bis belly button. In all honesty he was a very handsome man despite his animal like features.

"why are you here?" His voice was surprisingly warm and seemed concerned.

"I-I... don't know"

"Go home."

"please don't make me" my voice suddenly reached above a whisper, although it was still soft. Even the fox was caught of guard by my out burst "just... I just n-need some time away. just a little time" looking down my hair cover my face like a shadow.

"whats your name, child?"

"H-Hinata" After a few moments I asked For his name.

The fox was suddenly inches away from my body. The smirk on his face scared me but i refused to move. "Don't you know Hinata? Its bad luck to say a demons name out loud"

"You are not a demon."

It was his turn to whisper "Naruto."
