It was sunset, and our tent was up, Sironar and Kemari were asleep in their sleeping bags. I couldn't sleep, the memories are nostalgic. I can't help but wonder how it feels like back at the Village under the Moon, or the Waning Gibbous of the Moon branch town... Regardless of haunting memories, I tried to yet again sleep tightly in my sleeping bag...
...
...
"Cheri! Haha... How are you?"
"Nenin! Oh my gosh, it's you! Where have you been?"
"It was long, Cheri! Just a vacation to Getsugakure!"
"I wish I could go there. Whatcha wanna do? Waait, I got it!"
"Wha--"
"Hehe, Nen, I caught you flirting with your girlfriend!"
"Whaaaaat? S-She's not my girlfriend!"
"Hehe, if you can catch me, then I'll take it back!"
"I think Siren wants you to chase him."
"You bet I will!"
...
"Come here you little brat!"
"Still too slow Nen!"
"Huff... I'll get you...!"
"Nuh-uh!"
"Nenin, don't you think it's time to give up?"
"Oh c-come on, he's only 12!"
"Still, he's pretty fast, not even Jouru-sensei could catch him!"
"But..."
"Watch."
"Siren... Would you do me a favor?"
"What?"
"Oh, just do something like..."
...
"HEEY!"
"Get off of me, Nen's girlfriend!"
"See how easy it is?"
"Whaa--? I'm lost..."
"Just have the charm!"
"I said let me go!"
"Yeah, sure. I caught you anyway."
"Listen Nenin, hypnotize people, it's the easy way! Hehe."
"I gotta go, mother wants me to send her a message to the town, great to see you back!"
"Aww man, she got me, hmph..."
...
"It's night. Last quarter moon. I should start practicing; I just became qualified to wield a Huqe Sword!"
...
"I'm sure no one would notice me out here. Deyanira showed me that perfect spot to train!"
...
"Bulls eye!"
...
"Perfect!"
...
"This isn't challenging enough, farther distance."
"Dang it! Missed! I went a little bit too far!"
...
"Got it, perfect shuriken attack!"
"Pant... All this training's paying off..."
"I will be the most powerful ninja from Getsugakure! I will prove to them that I'm a Getsukage!"
...
"I-I'm done for now, it's too late, I should be getting home."
...
"Mother, father, I'm---"
"Aaaaaaaaaahhhhhhh!"
"H-h-heeelp! T-t-here's b-bloood!"
"M-m-mother! F-f-father!"
"W-why you! N-not you!"
"HELP! S-somebody help! C-Cheri,A-Acacius, s-somebody!"
"I-its, noo, w-why?"
"S-someb-body!"
"JOURU-SENSEI, A-ALOSIA!"
"D-D-Deya! W-who did this! Y-You saw, r-right?"
"I did it."
"I-I don't b-believe you! No! N-not you! Y-you wouldn't!"
". . .N-NOO! W-Why!"
"Shut up, I don't need anyone hearing this."
"W-Whaaat? B-but our p-parents are dead!"
"They're all dead."
"NO! I-I, No! I... ... ..."
"W-wake up!"
"I said shut up Nenin!"
"AAAA-----"
"Don't worry little brother, you'll die like them."
"!"
"Shh... You'll be like the rest of them."
...
"Aaack! H-how could I be so foolish!"
"You, you brat!"
". . ."
"You honestly think you can defeat me?"
"I'll show you, just like the rest of them, and they ended up dead!"
...
"Heh, won't give up, eh? No matter, now prepare to die!"
...
"Aack!" I woke up, damn it! Again with the nightmares! I sat up, messy long hair and red-veined eyes. It's always the same story every time. It's haunting me, it wants me to be frightened, but I'm not falling for it. I still remember the day.. Deyanira killed all of my clan, just as Itachi Uchiha massacred his... Every house in our hideout was covered in blood. Every corpse, everybody had a slit throat and a kunai scar near their heart areas. A few weeks after the mass murder, a graveyard was built near the hideout to honor our clan.
"What's wrong, Nen?" Sironar was startled but his voice sounded concerned.
"Nothing, just, nightmares." I replied, Kemari was still asleep and Sironar continued to glare at me.
"It's nothing..." I reassured him, he continued the glare.
"You're creeping me out, Siren..."
"Oh, uhmm, I'm sorry..." Was he spacing out or something? He laid back in his bedroll.
I couldn't sleep the entire night. My eyes refused to close and I saw the entire night sky fade in to a day sky. I was afraid that I'd get the same nightmare. I laid there, in shock, I still can't believe it.. Why would she turn on us? She was such a sweet and kind older sister.. Sigh, things happen in life I suppose... I stood there emotionless and unable to think. Until...
