Author's Notes: I LIVE! Sorry this is a bit late, I have finals coming up so I have been pretty focused on getting ready for those. Remember I love feedback so if anything doesn't make sense just ask.

Serena sat with her back against a tree and tried to compose herself. Once she felt calm she began to wonder about her eyes. "Why do my eyes turn red? Is it a kekkei genkai? Or is it a curse? Could it be because of my eyes that I'm not with my biological family?" Serena sat by that tree for 15 minutes trying to figure out why her eyes turn red, trying to stop these tears from falling. She didn't notice a man walk over to her. He was tall and was wearing a Jonin vest. He had purple eyes and short brown hair. He knelt down in front of Serena and snapped his fingers.

Serena jumped to her feet and stared at the man in front of her. After a minute of staring at him Serena put her hand on her kunai pouch and said "Who are you and what are you doing here?" Serena pulled out a kunai and held it in front of herself; her eyes were filling with tears.

"Whoa, Don't freak out my name is Shin. And I'm here because I was told there might be a genin lost in the forest." Shin stood up and held his hands up in a defensive manor while he said this.

Serena gave him a stern look then lowered her kunai. "I'm not lost," there was a little venom in her voice, which began to crack when she said this.

Shin cupped his face with his hand and rubbed his chin, "Yes I guess you're not lost." Shin stepped to the side and held his arms out behind him. "Well would you like to lead me out here to the academy if you are not lost?"

"Ok," Serena began to walk past him and stopped because she realized that she didn't know how to get out of the forest. She crossed her arms and said, "Well you know what I don't want to leave yet. So if you want out of here you can leave on your own."

"Ok I guess if you want to stay and you know how to get out of here then I guess I can go." Shin began to walk away, Serena stood where she was for a minute then she began to follow him. She followed him because she didn't know how to get out and she didn't want to ask for help. She followed him until they made it to the very edge of the forest. Then she hid behind a tree for a minute so it wouldn't look like she followed him, she composed herself while she waited.

Serena heard the door to the academy open and close, so she came out of the forest and took the back way into the academy. Serena sunk into the classroom just before the team arrangements were announced. Less than a minute later Fumiya Sensei stood up and all of the sudden anyone who was talking became silent. "Ok your Sensei will come in and get you and your teammates will go with them. I hope you all become great ninjas." When he stopped talking the first sensei came in.

Serenity and Kurapika sat there for what felt like forever before Serenity spoke. "How could he do that?" Serenity's voice was weak, and muffled by her arms, but Kurapika still heard.

"Who do what?" Kurapika turned towards Serenity.

"Father," she choked out.

Kurapika couldn't believe it; Kotoya would never really hurt Serenity. "What did he do?"

"He took her away." Her voice squeaked.

"Who did he take away? You're mother?" Kurapika moved closer to Serenity, and set his hand on her shoulder.

"No."

"Who?"

"My sister."

"You have a sister?" Kurapika was surprised; he had never heard that Serenity had a sister. "Why?"

"She looked different." Serenity's voice was flat.

"What? That doesn't make sense."

"I agree."

…..

It was Shin; Serena slumped down a bit to try to avoid his sight. He smiled at Fumiya sensei then looked at the class and said "Ok I'm here for the twins and Miss. I can find my own way out of the forest." Tadaki and Hidaka looked around until they saw Serena standing in the back. She was looking down, they tried to get her attention but she wouldn't respond to them. They just followed Shin out of the room.

Shin walked into the forest and stopped a little deeper than where Serena had been before and sat down. They also sat down "Ok let's introduce ourselves and talk about some interests we have. I will go first. My name is Shin Tsuchie; I like reading, training and being a pain in the butt."

The twins looked at each other "His name is Hidaka Kon," Tadaki said and pointed at his brother.

"His name is Tadaki Kon," Hidaka said and pointed at Tadaki.

"We like playing pranks, training, and finishing each other's sentences." They said this part in unison. Shin nodded his head then they looked at Serena.

"My Name is Serena Yakuta. I like to train, be around friends and reading."

"Ok it's time to give the bad news." The three of them looked at Shin. "There is one more test you have to pass to in order to be a genin." They all gave Shin a 'you have got to be kidding me' look. "And only 33% of you graduates will pass."

"WHAT!" Hidaka and Serena yelled at the same time.

"Yep and your guys' test will be tomorrow at five in the morning, right here. Don't eat or else you will get sick. Well, have fun finding your way back home." Shin said quickly and disappeared in a puff of smoke. Serena, Tadaki and Hidaka stood there for a few minutes unsure of what to do.

Then Hidaka spoke up "That was really cool." Tadaki nodded his head in agreement. Serena gave both of the boys a weird look. Hidaka looked at Serena and Tadaki and asked "What should we do now?"

"Probably find our way out," Serena said. Tadaki and Hidaka looked at Serena and nodded their heads. "Ok, do you guys know how to get out?" They both face planted at the same time.

"YOU DON'T KNOW HOW TO GET OUT OF HERE?" Tadaki and Hidaka yelled at the same time. Serena just nodded her head.

"How did you get out of here before?" Tadaki asked amazed that she didn't know how to get out.

Serena shrugged her shoulders, "I followed Shin Sensei out of here."

"How did he know that you were in here?" Hidaka asked. Serena just shrugged her shoulders again.

"That's a little weird," Serena and Hidaka nodded their heads in agreement. Tadaki began to climb up a tree, Serena and Hidaka stared at him. Hidaka looked really worried when Tadaki broke a branch as he made it to the top then jumped down and started to walk in a seemingly random direction.

"Tadaki, do you know where you're going?" Serena asked as she and Hidaka ran up to Tadaki's side.

"Of course I know where I'm going," Tadaki said with a triumphant look on his face as they began to see light and what looked like the academy.

"How did you know which way to go?" Serena gave Tadaki a look of amazement as he led them out of the forest.

"I climbed the tree to figure out where the village is and I just went in the direction that I saw the village."

"Oh wow," Serena smacked her hand against her forehead. "Why didn't I think of that?"

"Maybe it was because of your eyes." Serena stopped walking and looked down. "Because I can remember when we were taught that in the academy." Tadaki looked back at Serena.

"Oh yeah, you guys saw that," she said quietly.

"Do you want to tell us about it or do you not want to talk about it." Both Hidaka and Tadaki stepped to Serena and put a hand on her shoulder.

"No, don't worry this thing will not affect me and I don't have anything to say about it. So there is nothing to tell." She shook their hands off and continued walking.

…..

In a house a few blocks away from where Serenity and Kurapika are a horrible plan is developing. A man and woman are talking they both have blonde hair and blue eyes. The man's face is long and his hair is just a bit shorter than the woman's. The woman's face is short and her hair is just about to her shoulders. "What Were You Thinking? Killing Giichi Right Behind The Meeting Hall! Someone Might Find Out And Ruin Our Plan." The woman was very angry but was trying to stay quiet so that the couple's son would not here them.

The man grabbed the woman looked her in the eyes and said, "Don't worry I cleaned everything up and I'm sure that no one heard me."

"But Nijiya…" Nijiya pressed one finger to the woman's lips and whispered to her.

"Don't worry Hisami everything is going smoothly." Hisami moved closer to Nijiya but then their son came in. "Niya what are you doing? I told you to stay outside."

"Dad, something's going on outside everyone is running around and yelling." His blue eyes were wide and his voice was quiet.

"Hm.. well I guess I will go out and see what is going on. Niya stay here with your mother." The boy nodded his head and went over to Hisami. Nijiya went out and spoke to the first person he saw. He was a young boy probably about 19 years old. "What is going on? Why is everyone running around?"

"You haven't heard? Kotoya's daughter ran away everyone is looking for her."

"Oh I see, I'll go get Hisami and help."

"That would be great, she's really hard to find." The boy ran away to continue his search.

Nijiya reentered his home and went to the living room where Hisami and Niya were. "I'm going over to Kotoya's house to see what I can do to help him find his daughter. So if you see her make sure she makes it home." He kissed Hisami on the lips and ruffled his son's hair as he made fake gagging noises.

'This is going to be troublesome,' Nijiya thought to himself as he made his way over to Kotoya's house. 'I can't wait until this is all over and Hisami and I can start a new, and stronger Kurta Clan.' Nijiya slowed his walking a bit to waste as much time as possible because he wasn't at all interested in helping find Kotoya's daughter.
