Hi there! Thanks for Reading! Anyways I am also ImaginationismyInk from another fan site so this is still my story. Thanks and Enjoy! 3
The moon, once a beautiful and elegant friend was soon turned into a brutally honest ray of light. I awoke within my bed to soft yet fright filled sounds coming from the other side of my heavy wooden door. My silhouette was casted upon the wall by the moon's glow as I left my warm tantalizing bed to further investigate the noises. The handle of the door mocked my movements as I was unsure about the actions I was to pursuit…perhaps this is just some nightmare…or perhaps it was just the wind outside my window pupating the naked tree branches outside to tap upon my window. Once more a groan came but a little louder than before. I looked back at my door and reached for the chilling handle to twist and unhitch. Carefully and quietly I lurked within the hallway to my parent's bedroom to see the door slightly opened. I peered into the room to see a sight most disturbing to the point of sickness.
The moonlight portrayed a glissading kunai that was pierced into the head of my father; the point was firmly sunk into the socket of one of his eyes as my mother was the one who held the handle. He groaned again as she twisted but quickly killed him with a swift shove. Blood oozed onto his once soft cheek and drizzled upon his pillow as mother smiled wickedly at her work. She brought out the blade and father's head soon turned away from me and she dug the blade into his chest where his heart once beat. A short yet sour chuckle came from her once sweetened lips as she closed her eyes and smiled again. Suddenly, I moved away with fright and shock but caused the wooden hallway path to creak. She stopped and looked straight towards the door and connected her gaze within mine. With pure fear, I forced my legs to move and ran down the hall as fast as I could.
"You can't out run me Kiki! You stupid girl." She said with a poison in her tone.
I let out a shrilling scream as she grabbed my hand forcefully and stabbed my arm with the already bloodied up kunai.
"Demon child…just like your dirty blooded father." She whispered into my ear before throwing me down the small staircase towards the front door.
Shadows of her figure danced along the wall upon our family picture frames as she giggles and slowly came down the stairs.
"Why…mother why are you doing this…" I asked with tears threatening to spill from my eyes.
"You're in my way now. It's time to kill you and complete my mission." She answered with such death hidden in her voice beyond frightening.
She held out the kunai once more and eased her way closer to me. I was able to get up but my blooded hand couldn't keep me secure to the wall so my hand print smeared many times as I limped to the front door. I reached out in full hope but only to touch the tip of the handle before she slashed my back with her kunai. I screamed in pain at the new wound she summoned and was forced to obey gravity. She bent down and began to carve something slowly onto my lower back. I felt a stream of warm blood soothe through my pajama top and escape into a small puddle on the floor. The pain was unbearable and all I wanted was to wake up if this was some nightmare. My sight began to blur and I felt darkness easing in to grasp my life and eat away my existence.
"Why mommy…" I whimpered in pain as she finished.
She stood up and kicked my side with unbelievable force. Her smile never faded but her face soon became covered in darkness as her figure turned into a shadow as she backed away. Memories flooded my mind of her and me laughing while baking cookies and folding up the laundry, and then of her and father slow dancing outside on the balcony to the music he hummed under the stars. So much happiness and laughter was cradled within our home. Now, this place reeked of darkness and the warmth turned cold and shriveled as if all those moments were butchered. Suddenly the door burst open with a loud bang as more shadows quickly jumped in.
I could hear the sounds of metal colliding as multiple kunai screeched together and sparked lights again and again as if to start a fire…My vision was giving out and I had a very hard time trying to keep my eyes open but I felt so sleepy.
I felt a new feeling of lightened bliss as I was picked up carefully and rushed someplace a little quieter. Bits and pieces of words crept through my ears to be processed and bright lights threatened to open up my eyes.
"She's barely hanging on…" A man said urgently.
"Bring her this way…come on Kiki stay with us…Lady Tsunade!" I suddenly heard as the sentences were broken up.
The pain in my back numbed and I felt the life in me slip away until I was warmly welcomed into this indescribable stage of utter darkness. No words were heard…no warmth was processed and I felt…nothing.
A few seconds later, something welcoming hugged the inside structure of my body. I suddenly felt the numb feeling come back and it was as if a hand reached within my conscious and brought me back out into the light of another day. I was able to slowly yet weakly open my eyes to see a glow of a sage green orb seeping into my injured arm. The flesh was beginning to mend and my vision soon was restored. I suddenly realized what had just happened and immediately jumped up to scream.
"Hold her down gently." A familiar voice said with great authority.
"Hai, Tsunade Sensai."
I was pushed back into the fluffed bed but my body soon came back to realizing that I was injured and began to flex on its own in shock. I then felt a slight pinch as a needle poked into my other arm and a strange serum was injected into my body. I cried out in pain but soon became numb again as my muscles relaxed and I looked over to see that Lady Tsunade was aiding to my injuries with great sorrow in her eyes. My eyes stung from the blood that seeped within them and the tears that flowed out earlier. I couldn't think about anything or what just happened but then I closed my eyes and suddenly fell into a deep sleep.
I jumped up in bed with an urgent gasp for air. Beads of sweat hugged my cheeks as my body shook slightly and my eyes tried to adjust to the darkness.
"The same dream again. Why does the past haunt me now?" I whispered to myself.
Suddenly a small cry came from the cradle beside my bed.
"Aww it's alright Naruto. Oneesan didn't mean to wake you up." I said soothingly as I carefully picked up the frightened blonde haired baby.
I walked around my apartment for a while and made a new Sippy cup to help calm him down again. He finally fell asleep after a short lullaby I sang for him and carefully placed him back in his crib.
"There my little Todd Fox. Sleep a little while longer so I can get dressed." I whispered as I rubbed his belly a little.
He smiled in his sleep and I took the opportunity to prepare for my day. I went into the bathroom to wash up before changing and realized it was already 6:45.
"Awe Ninjas eating Oreos on a Monday! I'm already late for training…" I mumbled to myself as I continued getting ready.
I was successful in my quick shower and just as I was about to put my shirt on, there was a slight tingly sensation on my back… not the good kind of sensation. I walked over to my mirror and looked at the scars I had from when I was younger. One streamed all the way down in a thin line from where mother slashed me and the other was the symbol mother carved into my lower back towards my left side… I gently traced it a bit to get the tingling to settle.
"Demon… Thanks for the love message mom." I said before walking away to finish up.
I just hooked on the last piece of ninja gear before checking up on little Naruto. He was just waking up as I reached his crib.
"-gasp!- Kitty Kitty!" Naruto said in a happy tone as he reached up for me.
"That's close Naruto, you almost have it." I giggled as I picked him up and took him over to my bed to change him.
He was such a curious little tyke as he looked around then pointed to the window and said… "Key-Key look!"
"Yay you said my name!" I said with excitement as I kissed his cheek.
"No Key-Key look at duh tweet tweet!" He said with an impatient pouty face as he pointed out the window again.
I looked over to see a crow out on the window seal with a message hooked to his foot.
I picked up Naruto to place in his crib and went to retrieve the bird. I opened the window seal to the fresh morning air and allowed the bird to rest on my arm as I untied the message.
"Sissy I wanna see pwease!" Naruto said happily yet with much impatience.
"Sorry kiddo but this bird isn't much fun. It's just the hokage's bird." I said as I released it and read the note.
"Wooooooooooww yay bye bye tweet tweet!" He said as he jumped up and down in his crib.
"Rank C Anbu mission. Report to the Hokage immediately." I read in my mind before disintegrating it.
"-sigh- looks like we're going to have to take you over to oneesan's friends at the daycare. I have lots to do today." I said as I went to pick him up.
"Awe!" He said in disappointment.
I lifted him out of his crib and placed his little sandals on so he could walk over to the daycare with me. I remember the day he took his first steps only 2 months ago and now he's a pro! We reached the place in no time and I was able to happily leave him in the care of Mrs. Yumikabe. Naruto really liked her so he didn't have much of a problem being there for long periods of time. I was able to make it to the Hokage office in no time and walked in to see Kakashi, Asuma, and Kurenai all there too.
"My apologies Hokage sama." I said as I walked up to line up with my comrades.
"That's quite alright. I understand your mornings are busy. Now it is essential that the four of you complete this mission. It is for the safety of the entire fire nation…" Sarutobi Sensai said wisely as he gave Kakashi a scroll.
"Kakashi, you will be the leader of this squad. Carry this out swiftly and as quickly as possible." The Hokage said before quietly nibbling on his pipe.
Great I just know this one is going to be fun…
Sorry it was so dark in the beginning…her mother is a real mean lady. Thanks for reading and hope to see you on Chapter 2! ^.^
