carrie (Guest): Yeah I googled it. Just you google "mother in Japanese" haha comes up but okasan also comes up. But idk where I learned that there's two ways to say each one. One version for speaking to your brother, mother, sister, father, and another version for speaking to someone else's brother, mother, sister, father or just calling someone brother, mother, sister, father.
Flashback Chapter yay.
Five years ago (Three days after time Prologue takes place)
Inazuma opened her eyes, wincing at the bright light, and stared up at the white ceiling above her. She was lying on a similar white bed. She could quickly deduce she was in either a hospital or an infirmary.
She turned her head to the left and looked out the open window. She sat up to get a better view. Sunlight came in through the window and created a square of light on the white floor that stretched onto the bed. She followed the light from the floor to the bed. She looked down more and saw someone had changed her clothes replacing them with a long white t-shirt that was way too big for her.
She heard something and her head snapped to look at the door to her right.
"You're awake. Thought you'd never get up. It's been a few days." Kakashi said walking into the room. He walked over and handed her the glass. She stared at it before looking up at him. He sighed. "I promise it's just water." He said. She didn't move or blink. He put the water on the table next to the bed. "It's there if you want it." He said. "What's your name?" He asked. She continued to stare at him. "My name is Kakashi Hatake." She blinked.
"Ina…zuma…?" Her voice came out as an uncertain whisper.
"Lightning." Kakashi said with a small nod. "Do you remember anything?"
"Blood." She whispered
"Do you remember whose blood?" Kakashi asked softly. Inazuma raised a hand slowly to her left eye. It had a bandage over it.
"...mine." She whispered. She slowly lowered her hand and stared at it. She looked down at her clean white shirt. She slowly shook her head slowly.
"And the blood that was on your dress?" Kakashi asked.
"Theirs..."
"Whose?"
"Those...people..."
"What else do you remember?"
"... Screams." She stared at her hands that were in her lap. "They wouldn't stop screaming." She said barely above a whisper.
"Why were they screaming?" Kakashi asked. Inazuma slowly turned her head to look at Kakashi. He felt a shiver go down his spine at the look in her eyes.
"...they made… mommy and daddy scream."
"So you…?"
"Made them stop."
"You made the people stop hurting your parents?" Kakashi asked. Inazuma shook her head slowly.
"I made them scream." She said. A small creepy smile slowly made its way onto her face. Kakashi swallowed. Kakashi turned around and saw the 3rd Hokage walk into the room. He walked up to Inazuma and put two fingers on her forehead. Her visible eye widened, flashing red for a brief second, before she passed out and fell back onto the bed.
"What did you do?" Kakashi asked. The third Hokage sighed.
"She was not in herself."
"How would you know?" Kakashi asked with a confused frown.
"Her eye, it flashed red." He sighed again. "It seems she's not the only one in that head. There must be a darker side that was released when she saw and heard what she did. She saw her family and village killed; you described what you saw to me. That must have triggered that darker side. She's very dangerous for someone so small." The third Hokage looked down at the young girl. He placed a hand to her forehead. "When she wakes...that side will be dormant, asleep. She won't remember what happened or meeting you, you'll have to reintroduce yourself. She won't remember anything but her name and her ninja training."
"Should we get rid of her headband?" Kakashi asked. The third Hokage looked over at the black clothed ninja headband on the table next to the bed.
"Perhaps it would be best if did she know where she came from." Kakashi nodded.
The next day Kakashi returned to the girl's room and found her awake and looking out the window again. She didn't turn when he entered the room. He placed a new glass of water on the table next to her headband and she turned with a gasp. She looked at him with a wide, innocent, blue eye.
"Didn't mean to scare you." Kakashi said. "My name is Kakashi Hatake. What's yours?"
"..Ka-..." Her voice was hoarse. Kakashi handed her the glass of water. She took it and gulped it down.
"Take it easy." She lowered the glass.
"Kaminari." She said. Kakashi's eye narrowed slightly in confusion.
"Thunder." He said. She nodded.
"Do you know how old you are?" She looked down.
"...I think I'm..." She thought about it for a minute. "...seven?"
"Do you remember your birthday?" She shook her head. Kakashi nodded. "Alright. Do you remember anything else?" She shook her head. She suddenly noticed the headband on the table. Her eye widened and she grabbed it. "That's a Yugakure headband." Kakashi said. Suddenly Kaminari noticed how she could only see though one eye. With a gasp her hand flew to her left eye. "It's alright. You didn't lose it." Kakashi reassured her. "There's gunna be a scar though." She lifted the bandage but Kakashi's hand stopped her. "Don't." He said. She put her hand down and nodded. "So, you have a headband, do you remember any ninja training?" She nodded.
"...I was a chunin." Kakashi seemed surprised then smiled with his eye. "I passed last year…"
"You remind me of myself." Kaminari tilted her head to the side in question. "I became a genin at age five then chunin a year later." The little girl looked amazed. "Would you like to be a Leaf ninja?" She looked confused. "You're in Konahagakure." She seemed to think for a moment before nodding. "Great. I'll talk to the Hokage. For now you rest." Kaminari nodded and Kakashi left. Instead of lying down though she got up and went to the window. She looked outside. A bit if yellow caught her eye and she looked down to see a boy about her age looking up at her. She quickly moved away from the window and got back into bed.
Later that day Kakashi returned to the hospital room with a bundle of clothes.
"I talked to the Hokage. I also got you some clothes."
"What happened to my clothes?"
"They were… dirty."
"Couldn't you wash them?"
"They were so dirty they wouldn't get clean." Kakashi said while smiling with his eye. "Here." Kaminari took the clothes and stood up. Kakashi turned around and she got dressed. He turned back around when she cleared her throat. She looked down at the black outfit she was wearing. A long sleeved black shirt with a matching skirt that went to her knees. The sleeves were a bit long and covered her hands. She looked up as Kakashi handed her a pair of small boots and socks. She put them on and grabbed her headband tying it around her waist under her shirt. She looked at Kakashi. "Let's take a look at that eye." Kaminari sat back on the bed and Kakashi crouched in front of her to take off the bandage. "Hmm..."
"Is it bad?" She asked. She kept the eye closed.
"I'd give it a few more days." Kakashi said as he put a new bandage on.
"Now what?"
"Now, we get you something to eat." Kakashi said standing up. "You must be starving." Kaminari put a hand on her stomach and nodded. "Well come on then." Kaminari hopped off the bed and followed Kakashi as he left the room.
As soon as they got outside Kaminari grabbed Kakashi's shirt in her small fist. He looked down at her as she looked around. He offered her his hand and she looked up at him before taking it. Kakashi smiled beneath his mask and they continued walking.
While walking Kaminari noticed the little blond boy, she saw earlier before, again. She saw him walking alone, the adults avoiding him or glaring at him. He seemed to notice her as well; he stopped walking and looked at her. He looked afraid for a moment and looked at her covered eye then to her blue one. He visibly relaxed. Kakashi led Kaminari around a corner and they lost sight of each other.
After a full meal Kakashi took Kaminari to meet the Hokage. Kakashi knocked on the door.
"Enter." A voice called. Kakashi entered with Kaminari hiding behind his legs. "No need to be shy, little one." Kaminari peeked out from behind Kakashi's legs at the Hokage. "I understand you want to become a leaf ninja." Kaminari nodded.
"Y-yes."
"Kakashi informed me that you remember being a chunin."
"Yes sir."
"You'll start at the academy then." The Hokage said with a nod.
"W-where will I live?"
"There's a building with multiple vacancies. You may pick the one in which you would like to live." Kaminari nodded. "Kakashi will show you the way. Before you go," He tossed something over to her and she caught it. The coin purse was heavy and Kaminari stared at it with a wide eye. She started to shake her head when the Hokage held up a hand. "You'll need something to help you get started."
"T-thank you very much." Kaminari said before bowing. The Hokage smiled at her.
Kakashi brought Kaminari to the almost vacant apartment building and she picked a room. She looked down the hall at the only occupied room. She looked up at Kakashi in silent question and he looked at the door before looking at her.
"You can meet your neighbor later." He smiled with his eyes. "You've got to go shopping." Kaminari blinked. "Don't worry, I'll help you." He patted her on the head twice making her frown.
It was night by the time they returned to the apartment. Kakashi unlocked the door with his free hand and let Kaminari go in first.
"I'm glad you're not like most girls and shopping." He muttered putting three bags down on the kitchen isle. Kaminari put her two on the floor and looked at him confused. Kakashi looked at an invisible watch. "Well, I'd help you unpack but I have to get going." Kaminari frowned. "Don't worry; I'll come back tomorrow and treat you to some ramen." Kaminari smiled and nodded. Kaminari walked Kakashi to the door. He patted her head again, as she stood in the doorway, before leaving down the hall. Kaminari was about to go inside when something yellow in the corner of her vision caught her attention. She looked over and found the blond boy peeking out of his apartment. They stared at each other before Kaminari went to go back inside.
"Wait!" The boy shouted coming out into the hallway. Kaminari stopped and peeked back. "I-I..." The boy blushed slightly, embarrassed. Kaminari tilted her head. "I uh..." He looked down at his feet. Kaminari could almost see the gears in his head turning rapidly as he tried to find something to say. "Uh- goodnight!" He quickly went back into his apartment. Kaminari blinked.
Soon Kaminari's apartment felt like a home. Kakashi would visit when he could and sometimes take Kaminari out for food. Kaminari felt safe and comfortable in her apartment. However outside was much different. Whenever Kaminari left her apartment, whether it was to get food or just for a walk, the villagers were a lot less than friendly. Most would ignore her, others would glare. A few shop owners would even ask her to leave.
The kids were no better. They would make fun of her scar calling her ugly and gross. They'd tease her about her white hair and say she was an ugly old lady was just really short. When her hair started to grow longer she made sure her hair covered her scar. She avoided leaving her apartment unless absolutely necessary.
It was around the start if school that Kakashi stopped visiting. He was busy on missions or doing official ninja business. He would visit when he could and would sometimes make up excuses to be late for work so he could see her.
With Kakashi coming over less and less and the bullying from the kids and adults alike Kaminari started to shut out the world; not that she was opened to the world to begin with.
When adults would glare she would glare back twice as coldly. When kids would pick on her she'd use the same glare that was growing in intensity and becoming more threatening. Soon the name calling and teasing stopped, being replaced with everyone ignoring her and leaving her alone. She accepted the fact that people feared her and came to enjoy their fear because it meant they would leave her alone. Part of her didn't like the fact that people feared her but another part, deep down, loved it.
Of course there was one person who wasn't like the rest. He would greet her whenever he saw her; say good morning and good night. He would walk next to her to the academy. This one person didn't hate her for no-reason or make fun of her like everyone else. He didn't glare or avoid her but made strong attempts to be her friend.
Obviously I was talking about Naruto in the last paragraph. So that was the flashback. If anyone is confused just PM me and I'll answer any questions.
