" what happened then?" sakura asked. " well my dad ran outside after me and well when he found me i was in a tree and i wouldnt get down he told me four times to get down and i told him no he yelled at me and i didnt pay attention, but when i went home i got my butt beat so bad i wanted to run away and that night when my whole family was asleep i did run away," i said. " then what?" sakura asked. " my mom told my dad to go look for me he looked everywhere until he got to that same tree in the woods that i was sitting on, i was throwing a knife that i found on the ground during the night and he grabbed my arm and the knife out of my hand cuting my hand as well thats were i got this," i said showing them the scar on my hand. " wow he was no father," sakura said. " that is not the only thing he did," i said. " what else did he do?" naruto asked. " well he cut my leg, my arm, and the back of my neck," i said. " when?" naruto asked. " after he took the knife and stuff," i said. " oh my gosh he is so," sakura said. " rude mean evil a darn devil," i said. " ya that exactly it," sakura said. " man what the heck was wrong with ur dad?" al asked. " well he had very bad anger problems, and he didnt like my mom having three kids," i said. " oh my gosh thats his fault," sakura said." not me he was my father by my moms marriage but he wasnt my real father my mom was cheating on him," i said. " oh sry bout that," sakura said. " my mom cheated on him and thats why he got angry at my mom when she didnt tell him were she went at times and she took me with her cuz she knew that if she left me home with him he would try to kill me cuz i wasnt his daughter," i said. " oh my gosh hes so evil to try and kill his own daughter," sakura said. " then when we got home hed always ask me where we went and i would tell him we went shopping but we didnt get anything," i said. " why didnt u get anything?" sakura asked. " well we didnt have the money and when my dad had a job my brother beat me up so i spent most of the day in the woods throwing knives but i let my mom know about it so she didnt worry about me even when i came home with cuts on my arms and stuff," i said. " oh thats good," sakura said. " my mom was the only person in my family that cared about me except my grandma on my dad's side of the family," i said. " wow did ur grandma know it?" sakura asked. "ya she knew i wasnt her son's child," i said. " oh my and she still loved you even though you werent all her granddaughter," sakura said. " yeah thats all," i said. " why the heck did ur dad hate you so much?" sakura asked. " well i was the third and last child but i wasnt his child so he didnt like me," i said. " oh how rude," sakura said. " he made my mom cry a lot and made me cry cuz he wouldnt treat me like i was somebody, i would get blamed for everything and when my mom would yell at one of my siblings he would smack my mom and say it was me," i said. " man hes worse than how people treated naruto and he was 1 person doing 5 times worse the rudeness of people at our village was to naruto im talking our whole village into 1 person," sakura said. " wow that amazing," jenna said. " ya i know," naruto said. "so now what?" sakura asked. " i dont know," i said. " here ill take the plates," ed said. " ill help you," i said. we both grabbed 3 plates. " ok now what we just ate we cant go to sleep," i said. " you want to take a walk?" ed asked. " sure ill go on a walk," i said. " ok lets go after we finish here," ed said. " ok," i said. after we finished rinseing the plates we left on a walk. as we were walking i bumped into sasori. " uh sasori," i said. " ya," sasori said. " uh ed run," i said. " why?" ed asked. " just do it," i said. so we ran from sasori and sasori appeared in front of me. " ok if u want to fight then we will fight," i said. " well well ember," sasori said. " what do you want?" i asked. " nothing just this," sasori said as he grabbed me. " let me go now," i said. " why would i do that?" sasori asked. " cuz ur ganna be nice today," i said. " no im not when am i nice," sasori said. " never but it sounded good to me," i said. i pulled my knife out of my pocket and went to stab sasori's arm and he threw me to the ground making me stab my arm. " dang it freak u sasori," i said. " why did you say that ember?" ed asked. " well when he pushed me down he made me stab my arm," i said. " well im not dumb like a lot of people," sasori said. " stop sasori cant you just let ember alone with out tring to kill her for once," ?????? said. "itachi," i said. " why would i do that itachi," sasori said. " well this is why," itachi said useing his sharingan. " fine," sasori said as he walked away and disappeared. " thank you itachi," i said. "your welcome," he said helping me up," you ok." " ya im fine," i said. when we were leaving he noticed that there was blood on his hand. "ember," itachi called. " ya," i said walking back with ed. " what's with blood?" itachi asked. " well i got stabbed in the arm but its nothing i cant handle," i said. " hey," itachi said. "what?" i asked. "can i stay with you?" itachi asked. "uh," i said. "ya you can," ed said. " thank you," itachi said. " dont worry about it," ed said. " and u are?" itachi asked. " im ed a friend of ember," ed said. i was silent the rest of the way home. when we got to the room sasuke was at the window looking out it. sakura was sleeping on the couch and naruto was on the floor sleeping. jenna was on the floor were we had our blankets set up and kakashi was in the kitchen gettin sumtin to eat. "ill grab more blankets awhile," ed said. "sasuke did winry come by here or sumtin?" i asked. " no she never did come back," sasuke said. " oh its 12 and shes not back i wonder if she ran into some that took her," i said walking over beside sasuke. " i dont know but we cant go looking for at tis time," sasuke said. " ya i know cuz if we do we could get lost," i said. " ya," sasuke said. winry walks in the door a minute later and goes to her bed and goes to sleep without sayin a word. "we better get some sleep before roy pops in the door and when he does we are sleeping," i said. " yea we should," ed said, " here are blankets." he tossed me the other 2 and i covered naruto and sakura up before i went to bed. then i laid down on the floor and fell asleep only to wake the next day with jenna on the bed and ed and sasuke sleeping by me. i stood up and woke jenna up and told her to look at sasuke and ed. "what?" jenna asked. " oh my gosh come here," i said. " ok im here," jenna said. " ok i was here right," i said. " ya ok ur point," jenna said. "sasuke and ed were BESIDE me," i said. " oh ok i get it now," jenna said. itachi woke up and walked up behind jenna and i. he gave jenna a hug and a kiss on the cheek and gave me a kiss on the cheek. then itachi walked out in the hall and sasuke woke up and walked out in the hall as well. " hey jenna u want to take a walk?" i asked. " yea sure why not," jenna said. we walked out in the hall and itachi and sasuke queited down to almost a wishper. when we were on the walk we ran into someone familiar. " who are you?" i asked him. "i'm troy cronen why do you want to know," the guy said. " uh well u looked like someone familiar sry," i said. " what is ur name kid?" troy asked. " uh my name is ember," i said.
