She was really tired, she hadn't slept for two days, she was wounded but she did her mission in an extremely short time… she got one week to do that S-ranked quest but it took her just three days. It was extremely dangerous. She sensed that she was monitored by people so it was hard to cover herself but in the end she found the perfect solution for that, now she was walking home… she got lost in her thoughts peacefully, while the snow was falling…

She wasn't from Snow village, she was from somewhere else but for three years it was the place that she called 'home'.

She smiled peacefully and she started to run… on the surface of the snow

Someone was waiting for her.

****

The first strange thing that she spotted that the village was in a deadly silence.

It happened just at that time when the Village decided to execute somebody…

-Which prisoner? – she thought as a reflex but…

The next thing that she spotted was: flames. Fire was rare in Snow Village…

Flames from the left side of the Village… where she lived…

She jumped over the houses and she ran towards flames.

-Maybe there's somebody who needs help – she thought.

She almost got there when two ninjas appeared before her, their faces were masked, they wore black clothes, weapons were on their side.

-Who are you? – she asked as they stopped her. No response but they drew their kunai.

-MOM! – suddenly a childish voice screamed. That was like an invisible blade into her heart… that child's voice was…

-Ansuyu… - she whispered – let me go – she growled to them – I must save my boy…

-But they attacked…

-MOM! – the boy screamed again as a tall, black man grabbed him by his hair.

-Be quiet, you son of the bitch! – the man growled angrily, his voice exuded with hatred –you should not have to be born into this world!

-MOM!- the little boy screamed again.

-SHUT UP!- the man yelled at him that made him cry…

-Okay, that's good just don't shout – the man said and he looked into his eyes… the green eyes glared at him with full of tears… he was scared but in the same time it was strange… the man realised that there eyes were… watching him… the little boy had dark brown hair that reached his shoulders. He had oval face, with huge green eyes and thin lips. He wore dark blue baggy trousers with yellow pullover, he had comfy shoes…

-Himitsu uncle… why are you so angry? – the little boy asked suddenly, sniffing – Did Ansuyu something bad? Did Ansuyu forget brush his teeth? Why is Himitsu uncle shouting? Is Himitsu uncle sad?

-You… - the man growled angrily and he hit a point on the little boy's body due to that the little boy lost his consciousness – son of - he said it on a calmer tune and he hugged the boy's body to his chest – a demon…sorry, Ansuyu…

-Hey, Himitsu! Get out of here! We got the signal that she is here!

-My god… - the man whispered and he got away…

_____________________________________________

-Where is Ansuyu? – she asked on a cruel tune as she was holding a needle before one of the black men eyes.

No response.

-Where is he? If you tell me, I will leave you alive…

Still no response but the needle got closer to the eyes.

-You know, if the needle touches your eyes, it will pop… I have already done it and I could say that it's really painful... firstly it feel like when a bee sting you, but then the blood will come out from your veins and it feels like hot tears but they won't stop…

-They got him into the forest – the man said suddenly on a trembling voice – they want to…

She slapped him and made him quiet.

-You have already said… - she said and she got into the forest…

_____________________________________________________

-Himitsu, we can make here a shortcut…- the black man said to the other who was caring the boy in his arms. They were already in the forest, jumping branch to branch, trying not to leave any sign…

-Don't you think that's cruel? – the man who was called 'Himitsu' asked suddenly.

The mate stayed in silence.

-Such a young boy has to die, because his father was a demon… and that demon saved a village, sacrificing himself… he left a boy to a young woman… to a girl…and despite her young age she is an excellent mother… every boy could wish for such a mother… and she is an excellent shinobi… all of the family members are excellent… that's dangerous… don't you think that it's cruel to kill a child who is innocent, he just has a blood that…

Himitsu could not speak anymore…stabbed his neck was stabbed by a kunai…

-The Village is always correct – the other man hissed angrily and he took the child – These monsters shouldn't be born… his mother would be killed soon, that child is lucky to die together with his beloved mo… - he suddenly felt a cold blade before his neck. He felt a cold touch on his arm and a force made him to turned back.

A young woman was standing before him. She had long black hair that reached her hip. She had black trousers with boots and she wore black pullover, with a dark blue waistcoat, a little bag was on her belt. Purple eyes glared at him angrily that made him scared a bit… he knew that woman too, she was a 'normal human', but that child made her only 'unnormal'.

That child… that child…

-If he has a cut, I will rip you to pieces… - the woman hissed angrily as she took the child.

-You bitch…. –the man murmured – You will die with your…

Soft noise and the kunai's blade tasted a new blood.

-Don't fool with me – she growled angrily and she let the man's body to fall down but then she jumped down to Himitsu's corpse.

-Thanks, my old friend… - she whispered – I hope that you will be buried… rest in peace…

-Moooom… - suddenly the little boy's whimpered in his sleep.

-Sshhh, honey… I'm here… - she hugged the boy tightly then she got lost in the branches.

****

-Hidan… get up already! – Kakuzu said after the punch and he stood up, grabbing hid bag and he jumped out from the shelter.

-You… bastard – Hidan hummed and he got up slowly – Man… such a riot over a little boy, I cannot understand how a boy can be dangerous… I doubt that he could use his power… he is a kid dammit! He couldn't think dammit!

He took his three-bladed scythe and he jumped away. Maybe he was right… maybe for the first time…
