Authour's Note: I'm doing third person to describe Konan's past. This will be one GIANT flashback chapter! YAY! This is just to save me from writing Pein's interruption's and writing 5,000 quotation marks. It will also help you understand it better!

Chapter Ten:

She stood there at the counter as she just finished washing the dishes. She smiled down at her daughter. "Hello, love," She smiled. "Hi mother!" Her daughter replied happily. "When's dad coming home?" She asked innocently. Her mother smile started to fade. "I don't know Konan," She said trying to force the smile back on her lips. Her long blue hair just like her daughter's sweeped into an unkempt bun. "Hey, hun, why don't we go to the piano? I have a song to teach you!" She said gaily. "Okay, mom!" Konan giggled.

She started to play her piano, her skillful moving over the keys. Teaching her daughter the song she wrote, for him. Singing it with passion remembering ho he left her for that

tramp. Her frail body shaking with the intensity of how she played it. Her daughter quickly caught on and started to sing along as well. Off key on some notes but she still had a beautiful voice like her mother. Her daughter only four at the time. Her sickness was getting by the day with each passing hour. Sometimes, she'd cough up blood and try to hide it from her, but secretly, she'd always see it. And so, Konan, would cry her self to sleep for hours.

Her mother would often give her all the blankets so she could stay warm. Maybe, that was part of the reason she sick all the time. Konan often blamed herself for her mom being sick. Not that her mother ever knew that though. When she stole a loaf a bread because they were so low on food. Her mother was happy that she bought the loaf until Konan told her she just took it and didn't pay. Then, like the devil's advocate the shop owner came knocking on their door. The shop owner started yelling and swore that he'd never sell anything to her again even though she'd said she pay him back. He refused and continued to ramble on and on about how he knew people and would get us back.

Her mother grabbed her lost lover's picture and wept. "Things were so good when you were here," She sobbed quietly. She wept and wept. Konan, blaming herself for her father leaving with that lady. She felt that because she was alive her father left them because of her, he didn't love mommy anymore. Her father was a man of great nobility, he was an accomplished ANBU leader. There was a woman on his squad, he told her mother she meant nothing to him. For a while she believed him, until she caught him.

--

There he was making love to another woman. Her best friend, Mitaso. She could tell by her blonde hair. Konan secretly, was a footsteps and saw all that her mother saw. She turned around and whispered," Go, play downstairs," "But,daddy's..." Konan whispered back in protest. Her mother gave her a look that told her to be silent and do what she was told. "How, could you!" She screamed.

Konan despite her mother's efforts her the entire argument from downstairs...

"You tramp! You come on to my husband like that!" She shrieked in rage. "Cool it," Misato replied calmly. "Yeah, Miri," Her husband replied. "Cool it!" She screamed. "You're telling me to cool it! Misato, how could you we were best friends!" She screamed again. "Exactly, were. Think of this as stealing your everything for not being there for me!" She spat back. "Not being there! What in blazes are you raving on about!" She shrieked. "I'm sorry, Miri, I don't love you anymore," He replied cooly as if it was no big deal. "We have a child," She whimpered not believing what was going on. "Not we, It's you," He snapped. "Get out," She whispered.

"What?" He said. "You heard me GET OUT!" She shrieked in fury. "Get out before I kill you!" She yelled.

Within five minutes, her now ex-husband and best friend left the home. She fell to her knees, a crying mess. She was so distraught. "Mommy, where did dad go with that lady?" Konan asked. "I-I don't know." Her mother answered between sobs. Not knowing what to do, Konan started crying as well.

--

Then, a man came. He had bright yellow eyes and long black hair. "Konan, go hide," Her mom whispered. Konan obeyed at once.

"Hello, ma'am," He snickered. "Who are you?" She asked fearfully. "Sorry, ma'am. My name is Orochimaru," He said with a snake like quality. "What do you want from me?" She squeaked quietly. "Just a little business," He hissed. He grabbed a katana from inside of his cloak. Her eyes widened with fear. "What are you doing?" She shrieked. "Business ma'am," He stated cruelly. "No,no," She whimpered and fell to her knees.

Then, a piercing scream... Followed by... "Please, don't hurt my Konan,"

He thought she was daft and left her dead body lying there. Blood staining her clothes and her beautiful blue hair...
