OK peeps, this is my first story on fanfiction so plz flames welcome but please keep them mild.

Disclaimer-I sadly do not own Naruto, just my OC's and some of the storyline.

Chapter 1-The Beginning


OK your 14 and you are about 4 foot 9 (yes short I know but hey we can't choose how tall we are ) ok you have LONG pink hair that you wear in a high pony tail, (like Ino)with bangs framing your face, and you're wearing the same dress that Sakura Haruno wares only yours is black and the white part on Sakura's is still white on yours, and you wear the dark blue ninja sandles,and your eyes are ocean blue. (Like Naruto) And I guess that's pretty much what you look like, oh yeah and your name is Tomoyo Haruno (you are Sakura's cousin and you have a younger brother but Sakura doesn't know he exists so she never really spent or spends time with him, I know it sounds mean, but he doesn't mind that she doesn't spend time with him, he only cares if you spend time with him and you do! )

Normal POV

Ok so you were walking in the forest while holding a very small sleeping form in you arms. You wore a black cloak that blended you in with the darkness perfectly. The small form also wore a cloak, both of your hoods were up to help conceal you even more than you were already. You walked swiftly and quietly and the farther you got into the woods the closer you held the small form to you. Once you came to a clearing you stopped and set the form down gently on the ground in the center. You walked aimlessly around gathering dry twigs and anything that would burn, not wandering too far away from the clearing. You made sure you were able to see the peacefully sleeping form at all times.

When you gathered enough burning materials you quickly returned to the clearing. You set down the twigs and branches you gathered as quietly as possible and walked around the clearing picking up large stones. Once you gathered a good amount you took them back to the clearing. When you got there you took the stones and put them in s circle and you piled in some of the sticks and reached in your pack and pulled out a match. You lit the match and started a fire to keep the both of you warm. After the fire had a nice and warm glow to it you put the sleeping figures head in your lap and removed their hood and yours as well. When you saw the young boys face in a deep peaceful sleep you smiled affectionately at him. You stroked his hair and looked into the fire. (oh btw the boy had black hair that was short and stuck out at random angles and ? eyes….what? his eyes are closed…OH FINE they are an emerald green.)

Your POV

I was looking at his face and it reminded me of the fire I was staring at, It was so warm and happy I had to smile. Thinking back when I first saw him my heart was filled with such a joy that words cannot describe it. Back before the darkness started to spread. I was only 10 when my mother died. She died during child birth. Yes this form I hold in my arms is my younger brother. When my brother was born that was when things started to change. My father had to leave us alone because he was a commander in the king's army. He had to leave because the balance between good and evil were becoming uneven. It's like the force of yin and yang. I always thought this, and still do. Yin being good and Yang being evil, they balance with each other. There is always a negative pull and a positive pull. But when one is tampered with good or bad, it will always have a negative outcome.

My father left soon after the birth of my brother as well as the death of our mother, He told me to take care of my brother because he trusted me. He told me he believed in me and always would. After he said that I became REALLY dedicated to become a ninja so I could protect my little brother. It's been four years and I haven't heard from nor seen our father. It pains me to think that my brother never even knew our father nor mother. Darkness has really unbalanced the world now and our village was destroyed earlier this very day. I packed up my brother's things as well as my own and we left later that night. The only way that I knew that our village was to be overrun by demons and such evil creatures alike, was because I have a power and that is to see things that will yet come. The problem with this power is that it is not always correct and it won't show me all that is to come. What I have learned from this power is to expect the unexpected. I am never to tell anyone about this power of mine. If someone were to find out it could cause great chaos in this world. This power of mine is a gift and a burden.

I believe, that something's in this world are meant to be left unknown. So I carry this burden and gift with pride. I understand and believe that if I was given this power, I was given it for a reason and that reason is still clouded. So now I have embarked on a journey with my brother by my side, I am unsure as to what we will be faced with but I promise that we will overcome anything no matter how big or how small. I have become a ninja, genin (sp?) and the lord Hokage of the village hidden in the leaves has offered to give me a test and if I pass I'll be given a leaf headband. And maybe put into a squad. I have to admit, I am excided, but if I get put into a squad what will my brother do while I'm on missions, or just practicing? Those are the questions that worry me the most….

I'm thinking I'm going to ask Hokage if we can have a small house and I'd pay the rent and everything. I just don't want to live with the Haruno family there. I don't want to burden them with our problems, and the way my father and mother and I left

Normal POV

You close your eyes as you feel a warm liquid run down your pale cheeks. You knew you were crying and you didn't try to stop yourself. You let your tears out.

In your mind you pictured your mother, father, you missed them so much you couldn't even describe the pain you felt in your chest every time you looked at your little brother, he looked so much like your mother and your father. You got your looks from your aunt and Sakura. But your eye color was from your father. Every time you would see your brother smile you never wanted it to leave his face. Just to see him happy made you happy. And there was no one in this world that would make him unhappy, and if they tried, they'd have to go thru you first. You opened your eyes as the tears still fell down your cheek as you pulled the young boy closer to your body and smiled.

As the fire started to fade your smile grew into a smirk as youcontinued to watcha known shadow that had been sitting in the same spot for over three hours just watching you and your brother. You stood up and held your brother your smirk growing bigger as you stared straight at the shadow and it stepped back a little startled and you said loud enough for the other person to hear, "Hope your not afraid to the dark." And at that the fire went out with a wisp of the wind. And there was a thud of a body heavily falling to the ground.
