Chapter 3 An Explanation
OoOoOoOoOo
Kiraa sighed before telling her story to Itachi,
"Well…It all started when I was about 10 years old…"
10 years ago
A tall, long black haired man paced in the room. A little girl sat on her knees, staring at the ground. The man stopped and looked down at the girl. He sighed heavily and muttered to himself and continued pacing. A woman entered the room, her kimono dark like the night, her brown hair tied in a bow. She just glared at the girl.
"Mother…I'm sorry…" The girl whispered.
"Sorry doesn't cut it, Kiraa!" Kiraa's mother hissed.
"Do you know what you did?" The man growled and stood by the woman.
"I couldn't stop myself! Something just…overcame me…" A tear slid down Kiraa's cheek as she spoke.
"You killed numerous innocent people!" the woman raised her voice.
"I told you I couldn't stop…It was like something was forcing me!" Memories of the bloody morning haunted her mind. Bodies falling helplessly as her katana pierced through their skin.
Kiraa's mom quickly looked at the man,
"Ichirou…What should we do with her?"
"The only thing we can do." Ichirou stated and roughly grabbed Kiraa by the arm and dragged her to the backyard of the house.
Kiraa's mom came out seconds later, a black whip in her hand. The woman handed Ichirou the whip.
"Thank-you, Hoshiko." Ichirou said as Hoshiko held onto Kiraa's arms.
"STOP!!" a young girl yelled as she ran towards the three.
"Kiyoko! Go back inside!" Ichirou hissed.
"No! Father, I won't let you hurt Kiraa. Not again!" Kiyoko pried Hoshiko's hands off Kiraa and hugged the girl tight.
"She needs to pay for what she did!" Hoshiko pulled the girls apart, grabbed stray rope on the ground and bound Kiraa's ankles and wrists. Hoshiko then held Kiyoko back.
"Ichirou, 5 lashes." Hoshiko said calmly.
Ichirou walked up and tore the back of Kiraa's shirt open. Many scars covered her back. Ichirou then stood several feet behind Kiraa.

5 new glistening red wounds now covered her back. Some over old ones, causing them to start bleeding as well. Several tears fell from Kiraa's cheek. Hoshiko let go of Kiyoko. Kiyoko ran over to Kiraa,
"Look what you did! Can you really consider yourself parents?!" Kiyoko yelled at Ichirou and Hoshiko then turned her attention back to the wounded girl before her and ripped fabric from the bottom of her kimono and covered Kiraa's wounds.
"Each hit was filled with love." Ichirou said calmly.
"So your saying that was an act of kindness?" Kiraa hissed at her father.
Kiraa looked up at Kiyoko,
"Thank-you."
"You're my sister, I love you. Now, let's get you inside." Kiyoko gave a kind smile at her younger sibling and helped her to her room inside. Kiraa glared at her parents as she passed them, a certain gleam in her eyes.
"Your father was right, Hoshiko…I think she is cursed. All Hyuuga's have clear eyes, but her left is red…" Ichirou said to his wife.
"Father said it was a bad omen that she was born in the sixth month on the sixth day in a year with the last digit of six."
"The seal that your father put on her stomach…what was it exactly keeping in…?"
"He told me that it keeps the devil in."
"Hn…I guess her name suits her; Killer." Ichirou then walked inside.
Later that night
Kiraa sat up in her bed and put a hand up to her forehead,
"Oooow…" she felt as though her head was being stabbed a hundred times, over and over. She walked over to a window and looked into the star lit night.
The full moon shone over head. She felt to her knees, gripping her head with both hands as the pain grew stronger.
"No…No!" She whispered to herself as a black flame engulfed her form.
Seconds later, the flame disappeared. Kiraa stood. Her dark brown hair was straight down to about mid-back. She was wearing a black kimono with a red dragon on the side. A katana held in her right hand. Her clear eye turned red.
Kiraa silently walked down the halls and stopped at one particular room. The door creaked open to reveal her parents sleeping in their bed.
Her voice screamed no in her head, she tried to stop her body. But she couldn't. Her katana was about 5 inches from her father's neck. Kiraa raised her sword and slashed, but Ichirou grabbed a kunai from the bedside table and stopped her sword.
Kiraa jumped back as her mother and father got out of bed and grabbed their own katanas.
"Kiraa…why are you doing this?" Hoshiko asked her daughter.
"Payback for all the torture you've put me through during my life!" Kiraa's voice was deeper, more demonic.
Kiraa gracefully dodged most of Ichirou and Hoshiko's blows. Kiraa sent fireballs at her mother while dueling with her father. Hoshiko almost dodged all but the last, which ended up burning her to death. The other fireballs caught the house on fire. Ichirou and Kiraa continued to fight, their katanas clanging as they hit.
Kiraa finally disarmed Ichirou and quickly sliced his neck. Then Kiraa quickly grabbed Kiyoko from her bed and carried her outside. The sisters watched the house burn as a figure appeared beside them.
"I was watching you, Kiraa. How would you like to join the Akatsuki? We'd love for you to join."
"Hn…I'm…not sure." She answered, not looking at the man.
"Look for me, when you make up your mind…"
"Wait…Come back in 10 years. I will join you then."
"I will await you." The man then disappeared.
"Kiraa…Why --" Kiyoko started but Kiraa interrupted,
"Don't worry."
Kiraa then transformed back into her original form and fainted.
Back to the present time
"Whatever happened to your sister?" Itachi asked.
"She died. She was murdered several days later." Kiraa said.
"Oh…I…I'm sorry…"
"That's alright. It's not your fault." Kiraa gave a small smile.

Yay! It's kinda long:
Once again, I apologize for the long wait.
I had a hard time writing this and I'm still not entirely happy with it, but oh well. I hope you like it.
Im not exactly the best at fighting scenes, so sorry bout that.
Oh, and here's some fun facts:
Hoshiko means star child, Ichirou means one son, and Kiyoko means pure/clean child. (meanings found on behindthename DOT com )
