The morning sun's bright rays shone brightly over Konohagakure. Now usually I like to admire things such as a beautiful sunrise but not when it shining right into my eyes when I am trying to sleep. No not yet, I cried inside, five more minutes, grabbing the pillow and pushing it into my face to stop the light getting through. The cold chill that was still in the room creep up my skin, sending a powerful shiver down me spine. I gripped my arms in a desperate attempt to get more warmth spreading through my body. It wasn't working very well. Stupid cold. If only I was hyperactive I could properly get up and start running around. Well I do remember once my mother I got my laziness from my father.

The day was beautiful, the grass was a brilliant bright green, the air clean and smelled of fresh forest and the sun was shining. A prefect day to just relax.

"Nariko, will you get up." Mum shouted from across the field for the fourth time.

"Hn" Was all I said back as I continue to read my book.

"Nariko!" Mother yelled again.

"What?"my young squeaky voice yelled back over the top of my book. Knowing fall well why she was yelling at me for, I just couldn't bothered to move. I was enjoying my time out of the hot sun and reading my book.

"I swear Nariko, sometimes you're just like your father." Screamed Mum as began to paced the ground again.

"Excuse me." I questioned, putting my book and staring at my mother in shock about what she had just said. My mother stopped pacing immediately, just realising what she had just done.

"I said..."My mother began thinking of something to say. "Move your butt or I'll take you book away from you." I snorted knowing my mother would never do such a thing; nevertheless, I got up and place my book back into my back and followed my mother down the path. She might of thought that she had gotten away with what she just did but it was to late. I had found out something about my father.

Another cold shiver brought me out of my day dream, making me grip my arms even more tightly, so much that it hurt. I felt the fabric of soft material touch my skin as a blanket was placed over me. Thankful for the extra bit of warmth and quickly gripped onto the blanket. Much better, I dream as I snuggled into the blanket even more. The sound of someone's muffled laugh was the last bit of warm comfort that I had before the nightmare came.

The field was beautiful in the moonlight, if it had been another time then I would of joyfully danced under the moons magical blaze. But tonight I wasn't focused on the glowing flowers or the enchanting trees. I was running as fast as possible. Away from what I had just witness, away from the bloody scene that was to follow me for the rest of my life, however, right now. I was running for my life. My vision was so blurry from the tears that I did not seethe flash of a figure appear in front of me. Before I knew it a sudden powerful force punched me in the stomach, throwing me off the ground and into a bark of a tree, almost knocking me out and making my vision even blurrier. Despite this I could still see the outline of his half black and white skin and the giant fly trap that surrounded his body.

"Can't run no more can you child." He hissed, his evil aura forced me back further against the tree as his aura burned my lungs.

"Get away from me!" I shrieked, all knowledge of what I should be doing left my frighten body.

"Don't be scared child." The man hissed, moving closer towards me, standing right in front of me now and grabbed painfully onto my wrist. "You are here to serve an important purpose my child, the quest for unlimited power." No, I will not serve you, not after what do did to my mother. Then the headaches came.

"No, not now!" I screamed, grabbing my head and falling on to the ground, Please not know.

"Not what's the mat...?" He froze in his tracks. There as silence until a painful cry escape my lips and echo through the forest. "What have you done." the monster cried, stumbling around. "What! Aaaaaawww!" KaBoom! The headaches stopped, which meant one thing. Peeping through my figure tips. Everywhere around me was blood, it was splattered against every tree and plant, even me. Pure horror raced through my mind, I screamed in anger and despair.

"Nariko!"

"Nariko wake up!"

A loud screamed escape my lips, tears of agony flowed down chests. My arms pulled and wrenched themselves from person grip but the refuse to let go.

"Nariko, please it's me." I voice cried. That's not the same voice as before, I thought. Slowly I opened my eyes to see Minato and the blonde hair woman stood by the side of my bed. "Nariko" Minato whispered, a strange force made me turn my head to him. He was holding my wrists in his warm hands, knowing it was him instead of the other man calmed my body, but my body was still shaking from shock. Before I knew it Minato embraced me into a warm hug and began to whisper warm comforting words into my eyes. I had no idea what he was saying but it felt great for me to have a safe place to cry in. Sobbing into his shoulder I let every emotion in me out, sadness, despair, anger and loneliness, every thing I felt was released through my tears and my quiet sobs. Kami! I am such a cry baby, for goodness sake Nariko get a hold of yourself. I pushed myself away from Minato and began wiping the tears away from my face. The lady passed me a box of tissues (where she got them from is a mystery to me), thankful, I grabbed a tissue from the box and began dabbing my eyes with it. I couldn't begin to think what I looked like to these people but I knew I must be a sad sight. What is wrong with me? Why can't I control my emotions?

Maybe because you've stopped running long enough for your memories to finally catch up.

Jeez thanks for the vote of confidence.

Hey! You had to face it sooner or later.

I guess your right.

Good! And do you know why it's a good thing the nightmares came now.

There's a good reason for this.

Yeah.

Fine! What is it?

You don't have to do it alone.

Knowing I had a least gain some control of myself, I risked looking to meet everyone's eyes.

"Are you ok." Minato asked, wrapping one of his strong arms around my shoulder in a supportive way.

"Not really, I'm just not used to being scared shitless, every time I wake up" I replied, thankful for the little comfort, seeing I was a little bit back to normal, Minato shone me a really cheesy grin. I gave a little smile back, partly to show reassurance that I was going to be fine but mostly because I thought his cheesy grin was really cheesy.

"I hear people feel like that after they've had a nightmare." Minato laugh at his own little joke.

"I wish it was a nightmare." I mumbled quietly to myself, not releasing Minato had also heard it. However, before he could say anything a small cough caught our attention, looking up to see a very annoyed blonde woman, staring at us with death glares.

"If you two would stop chitty chatty I have important news for you. Nariko." I stated, waiting to make sure we wouldn't start talking (even though that was impossible since one look on the lady's face was enough to shut anyone up) before she continues.

"Today Nariko, I will be releasing you but there are some issues we must go over first." Automatically, I nodded in understanding. "First thing first, acommdations have been set up in the Hokage's house for you to live there until you decide to rent an apartment or stay with someone else." She paused quickly, waiting for me to give a quick nod of acknowledgement. "Secondly during your battle with Madara we found most of your items, such as clothes and underwear were ruined, these have been replaced and things that me managed to save will be giving to you before you leave." She finished. My face turned pale at the last bit of speech.

"Did you managed to save a little sliver photo album." I asked, trying to keep my voice calm but it was still obvious that you could hear the desperation in my voice.

"You mean a little metal book about this big." She insisted, using her figures to indicate how tall and wide it was. I nodded viciously, waiting to know what happen to it. "Yes we found it, it is with the other processions." Relief flew through me, at thought of my mothers pictures being safe. "I'll get your clothes and things ready. Minato!" She ordered, marching briskly out the room. Minato quickly leapt off the bed.

"Before I go, you might want this back." Requested Minato, before I could reply he left. I opened the piece of paper to find my money inside.
