Prologue

Seiko's POV

*FLASHBACK*

10 years old

I was running, running to get away from that dreadful place. What they did to me was unforgivable. I'm 10 years old, turning 11 soon, and they were doing things like that to me for a year. I couldn't take it anymore and decided to escape and run away with Suigetsu and Anya. We were always together since I got there and we were the best of friends. We always stuck to each other and they would make me feel better after of those men took me for their own personal pleasures. I always came back with new cuts and scars because Orochimaru would find something new to inject me with, I was his favorite after all. Life was horrible. But, we finally decided we had enough and developed a full proof plan that let us escape with almost no difficulty.

*Time Skip*

It's been a few months and Suigetsu and Anya had disappeared. I woke up one day and they weren't there. I found traces of both of their blood and I almost broke down. My best friends disappeared and I couldn't find them after looking for them for 8 days non-stop. I gave up after that because there were no more leads or visible trails. I've been wandering and my birthday is coming up in a month or so. I normally know when someone is near me, but I guess I was still super depressed. A ninja came and help a kunai to my throat.

"What is your purpose being near the Hidden Leaf Village?" The guy with gravity defying hair asked me. The one holding the kunai to my throat had on a hideous green spandex suit and had, disturbing features. I almost died just looking at him. Not real death, but death by laughter. He looked ridiculous.

"Well, I am a traveler and I was just walking by. I honestly had no idea that there was even a village nearby." I answered as honestly as possible. I didn't want them to question my past. I don't think they would survive. Maybe...maybe I could gain a new home to live in here?

"Well, you're going to have to come see the Hokage if you want to pass. By the way, I'm Kakashi and that is Guy." Kakashi told me. Guy still hadn't put down the kunai from my throat. I sighed. I guess I'm going to have to…

"I deeply apologize, my fair maiden. The power of youth overwhelmed my need to protect all creatures as delicate as you!" Guy yelled, scaring the crap out of me. I almost jumped when I processed what he said. The creep.

"You do know that I'm only 10 years old, right?" I asked with slight discomfort. I mean, who wouldn't be uncomfortable in this position with a creepy looking old guy who wore SPANDEX SUITS?! They just looked at me in shock and told me to get moving.

Well, you could guess the story from here. I went to see the Hokage, he talked with me, gave me a home, and told me I would start the Ninja Academy in a month, on my birthday.

Present

11 years old

Today is the day. I'm starting at the Ninja Academy and I am so excited. I know all those things already and lots of other things, but I just can't wait to make friends. I haven't had friends for some time now. I am living with Kakashi-sensei since I was too scared and creeped out to live with Guy and I couldn't live by myself since I was going to be a year and a half younger than all the other kids. Oh well, it's time to go. Wow, I just can't wait…

Thank you guys for reading this. I wish I could put pictures on here like on Wattpad, but, alas, I was not lucky enough to find a site similar to that one. Anyway, the girl on the cover is NOT Seiko. I just wanted to show you some of the similar features they had. Like the hair length. It's not the length of her hair, but it is when it's in a high ponytail. Hope that wasn't confusing. Anyway, I forgot to mention that she always wears a black, purple, green, pink, and blue kimono that goes to mid-thigh. She has black short shorts underneath and thigh-high white and black tights. She wears shoes like TenTen's that are black and have a tint of blue. The sleeves of her kimono go to the middle of her hands and have many different swirls and designs. She wears fingerless black, lace gloves just because she feels like it. She has a decorated pin in her hair, which is a gift passed through the generations in her clan. She carries a lady's fan with her along with two katanas in an X shape on her back. She also wears a mask like Kakashi's. The obi on her kimono is white, and blue.
