Hey! Thanks for reading my story this far. Well I have been doing some revising to my story so I made a LOT of changes to chapters five and six. I also made one or two changes to four but nothing much. If you have time please check it out and tell me what you think about it. Now I think I should stop babbling and let you get to reading.

Chapter 7- Becoming Ninja
Both Haku and Kohaku were to be trained as ninjas. Haku was being trained by a ninja named Zabuza and Kohaku was to start the Ninja Academy.
-Kohaku-
It was Kohaku's first day at Ninja Academy. She was walking to the Academy and she was nervous as hell. She walked down the roads and by houses taking in her surroundings hoping that the beautiful surroundings would calm her down but they didn't. She even thought about turning around and going home, but she remembered the promise she made to Haku.
What are they going to think of me? Kohaku wondered biting the bottom of her lip. They will probably know that I killed my parents. I'm so awful.
No you're not, you're a good person. I'm the one who's awful, Haku said flatly.
No, Dad attacked you! He tried to kill you, but I have no excuse for killing mom and dad! Kohaku shouted.
We lost control and now we are going to learn how to control our Kekkei Genkei.
Yes, we may have lost control, but I am a killer. I killed the people who cared about me.
Stop saying things like that! You are a good and kind person.
Kohaku then stopped dead. She was in front of the Ninja Academy. She was standing next to a tree with a swing attached to it. The grass under her feet and she could see the side walk just a few steps away. She gripped the rope of the swing as she began to shake and all she wanted to run away as fast as she could.
You can do it just take a deep breath and go in, Haku said.
Kohaku realized the swing and walked slowly past the tree and up to the doors. She pushed them opened and walked into the building. She was standing in a hall doors ever few feet on both sides of the hallway. She took out a sheet of paper from her pocket. It was crumpled so she flatten it to read what was on it. There was a room number on it.
308, Kohaku thought. I have to find room 308.
She walked down the halls until she came to the room. She then couldn't move. It was like she was glued to the floor.
Kohaku, I'm right here. You can do it, Haku said comforting Kohaku.
Kohaku reached her hand to the door and slide it opened. Iruka-sensei was standing in front of the class. There was a chalk board and a desk behind him. There were tables, two rows, in front of him. Each table could seat two people. When Iruka-sensei saw Kohaku he stopped his lecture and he smile.
"Kohaku, you're just in time. Come in," Iruka-sensei said.
Kohaku walked up to Iruka-sensei and he placed his hand on her back.
"Class we have a new student, Kohaku Aso," Iruka-sensei told them.
A student said, "Hey didn't a girl named Kohaku Aso kill her parents?"
"Yeah," another student answered. "I heard she was supposed to start training here."
With that all the students started talking. Kohaku just stood there looking at the floor and trying not to cry.
"That's enough!" Iruka-sensei shouted and the whole class became quite almost instantly.
"Kohaku, take the seat next to Sasuke," Iruka-sensei said pointing at a boy.
"O-okay," she said not looking at his face.
Sasuke was a boy with black hair and black eyes. He was wearing a navy blue shirt, khaki pants, and navy blue zori. His face showed no sign of emotion. Kohaku sat on Sasuke's right sided. Kohaku looked down at the table not making eye contact with anyone. She didn't notice that Sasuke looked at her.
"That girl, Kohaku she's a murderer. I mean who kills their own parents?" whispered a boy sitting behind Kohaku and Sasuke.
"Yeah, she's a monster," another boy responded.
Kohaku's head drooped and a tear fell down her face, but she whipped it away before anyone could notice. Well anyone but Sasuke.
'She looks so sad about killing her parents. Why would she kill them and then be so upset about it? Also why would she kill them in the first place and why did she not get punished?' Sasuke thought.
Kohaku, it's alright, I'm here. Everything will be alright, Haku said.
Thanks, Kohaku replied. But their right I am a monster and a murderer and anything else they can think of.
That's not true, Haku protested. I think you're the best. I never want you to think like that again.
But it's true, Kohaku insisted.
Stop thinking like that! Haku said, getting frustrated.
"Class, who can tell me what a Taijutsu is?" Iruka-sensei asked.
You know this so raise your hand, Haku said.
But, Kohaku said but was interrupted. No buts! Raise your hand!
Kohaku raised a trembling hand. Iruka-sensei called on her.
"Tai-taijutsu is all about be-beating, bruises and broken bo-bones. This is to damage the person physically," Kohaku said.
"Very good, Kohaku," Iruka-sensei said with a smile on his face.
Kohaku smiled. She was a little happier.
See, you aren't worthless, Haku said and you could just hear the smile in his voice.
-Haku-
Haku had started the early in the morning. Zabuza had gotten him up early to start his training. They went to the training grounds.
"Do you know what a jutsu is?" Zabuza asked.
"Hai," Haku answered.
"Alright, lets start with chakra control," Zabuza stated.
Zabuza taught Haku different way for controlling chakra. Zabuza started by teaching Haku different hand signs and what each one did. Haku picked them up very quickly. When they finished with chakra control they moved on to focusing chakra. Zabuza showed Haku how to focus chakra into different body parts. Like the feet to climb trees. Haku got it on the first try. Zabuza was impressed that Haku was able to pick all that he was teaching so fast.
He will definitely be a useful tool, Zabuza thought.
By the time Haku had mastered both chakra control and focusing chakra it was getting late.
"How did I do?" Haku asked with that same genital smile.
"Most ninja it would have taken at least two days to master both the chakra control and focusing chakra," Zabuza stated.
Haku was covered in sweat and dirt. He looked awful but he just kept on smiling.
Haku, you were so great! Kohaku complimented him.
Not that great, Haku said blushing a little. You know with both you and I learning will be ninjas in no time.
Zabuza noticed that Haku blushed but didn't pay attention to it. Haku was happy, he may have to work hard, but at least Zabuza was there.
"Take a bath when you get in side," Zabuza ordered.
"Hai!" Haku replied.
They went into the house and Haku headed directly to the bathroom. He turned the water on for the bath. Once he finished and changed into a clean outfit he went to the kitchen where Zabuza was. You could smell the burnt food. Haku saw Zabuza trying too cook. Haku couldn't help but start giggling.
"Stop with the giggling," Zabuza ordered annoyed.
"Can you even cook?" Haku asked innocently.
"I never had to worry about it that much," Zabuza answered.
"Alright if you can't cook then I will," Haku said smiling and started to clean up the mess Zabuza had made.
Zabuza left the kitchen after he patted Haku on the head. Haku smiled and started cooking.
-Kohaku-
Class was over and Kohaku was walking down the halls. She saw many people staring at her, but tried not to notice. She then pasted two girls talking.
"Did you hear that girl Kohaku Aso killed her parents," a girl said pointing to Kohaku.
"Really?" another replied.
"Yeah, we should stay away from her or she might kill us," the girl said.
"Definitely," the other girl answered.
They gave nasty stares to Kohaku as she walked past them. Kohaku over heard lots of conversations about her and how horrible she was and they all affected her deeply.
Well I deserve it all, Kohaku thought as she kept her head low and just left the academy.
Kohaku left school and was heading home when three guys came up to her.
"Hey look it's the murderer," one said.
"Yeah it is," the second said.
"Let's teach her a lesson," the third said.
The other two agreed.
"Normally I wouldn't hit a girl, but we'll make an exception for you," the first said.
The first one punched Kohaku and she fell on the ground, her lip bleeding. Kohaku crawled back to a tree. The third came over and kicked her and she started to cry.
"How do you like that?" he said.
"Why did you kill your parents?" the second asked bending down.
"It…it was an accident," Kohaku responded.
"How can you accidentally kill your parents?" the second asked getting really angry. "You're such a liar."
He punched her and Kohaku started to bleed even more. They gave her a few more kicks and then they left. Sasuke came just in time to see the boy's run off. Sasuke saw Kohaku on the ground bleeding. She was trying to stand up but was having trouble.
Well that's what I get for hurting mom and dad, Kohaku thought. After all it's my fault. I'm just a nasty killer who doesn't deserve any kindness.
Sasuke watched her for a moment before he walked over to her. When Kohaku saw him she backed off and then felt the tree behind her. She then realized that there was no place to run.
"Please, don't hurt me," she begged. "Please, I didn't mean to it was an accident."
Kohaku burst in to tears and she couldn't stop. Sasuke walked over to her slowly as not to frighten her.
"I'm not going to hurt you I just have a question," Sasuke said showing no emotion. "Why did you kill your parents?"
"It was an accident, I swear," Kohaku said the tears flowing. "It really was, it really was."
'Is she telling the truth? She looks so honest and it's not like she has any reason to lie,' Sasuke thought.
Sasuke stuck out his hand. Kohaku looked at him with a confused look on her face.
"Give me your hand," Sasuke said. "You can come to my place to get cleaned up."
Kohaku thought a moment and then shakily took his hand. He pulled her up into a standing position. She was about to collapse but Sasuke grabbed her and let her lean on him. Sasuke started to walk to his house letting her lean on him for support.
I think I can trust him, Kohaku thought.
A smile spread across her face.
He seems like a kind person, she thought.
They walked slowly down the road Sasuke had his arm wrapped around her waste and her arm around his shoulder.

Well for all those who don't speak Japanese Hai means yes. I like putting Japanese words in my story so every time I put in a word in Japanese I will be sure to put the translation down at the bottom. That reminds me the name of my story is in Japanese. Well Shouken means bond and Shounin is child so together it means Bond Child. But what I really wanted was Bonded Child but the dictionary I have didn't have that so I did the closes thing I could which turned out to be Bond Child. Well that's it. Please review.
