A Single Snowdrop

Chapter 2

"Kira-Chan"

Tears that streamed down from those eyes didn't stop at his words, for she didn't hear him. Instead she suddenly stopped, and then scarcely buried her parents. She finally stopped her silent tears from falling. For her it seemed like time stopped. It was both a torture and an honour to bury her own parents; for the torture to see them this way and to think of the future without them, an honour because they were very kind and brave shinobi, father was a shinobi whom title-the silent ninja, was true to every word. He was constantly silent, yet a small glow came with him. Mother was also a shinobi but her status was not as great as father's, she was considered a failure, she had no place in the world and was always looked down by her fellow clan members, even her own team mates. They were so different in everyway, but it seemed like they were both outsiders, destined to wander.

They're bodies were so heavy she was almost unable to place them into their rightful graves. With every step and glance she took, it burned like the fiery depths of the hell, she thought to herself closely...I will not allow these feelings of hatred linger here, it goes against all of my believes...why did this happen on this day?...You all should know this though, it was the little girl's birthday. She had no wish of her own; instead she wanted to ask her parents to allow her to meet her family for once. Who knew that this would happen, the end of the lives of her precious ones? "Kira" had no life outside of the village other than inside that small area she was allowed to wander.

Except once…

FLASHBACK!!!

She once met a friend.

It was a rare occasion and her mother was sick plus her father had been on a mission for several days now. This was her only chance to spread her wings and fly. And she took it, even her mother told her to in the softest voice possible, "Dear, would you please go and buy the groceries?" What a perfect moment it was too, this was the very first time and maybe the only time she would be allowed to go onto the streets. She thought it was going to be so exciting like the stories she read, like Cinderella or Snow White. Unfortunately for her though it was not true, she would not find a prince charming, but she knows this now...

It took approximately half an hour to get to the streets, but to her it seemed to past so fast. Once she entered the village, her excitement took over that small body of hers and she began to take that to good use and start running to the grocery stores. Okay, first is rice... She ran around searching for it until she suddenly fell, at first she didn't know what was going on but then she met eyes with a boy around her age. "Konnichiwa! What's your name, my name is Neji, Hyuuga Neji!" He had a large smile on his face. "My name is...Kira, Kirakishou." Kira was trying to get up but soon her eyes met Neji's hand. "Gomenasai here let me help you." "Un, arigato gozaimasu..." She slowly and hesitantly took his hand, with a small smile crossing her face...Maybe she really had just met a friend. "'Hey come on, you should meet my friends!" Without a warning, Neji sort of yanked on Kira's hand and off they went. "Ano, I can't I-" But she was cut off by him once more. "Hi guys!" They were already there and also greeted by around 7 people. "Hi, who's the new girl?" Kira took a small glance at a boy here age that had a puppy in his arms. "Her name's Kira, umm Kira...What was it again?" Neji said looking at her. "Kirakishou." She replied. "Yeah! I meant to say that." Neji replied, "that's Kiba," he said pointing at the one who asked for her name, "Hinata, Naruto, Sasuke, Ino, Sakura, and Tenten." "Konnichiwa! Kira-Chan! Want to be our friend?" Tenten surprisingly said. She was now directly in front of Kira. "Hai...Gomenasai demo-" "You're friend? What about us? The more allies the better you know." Naruto screamed out. But before they were able to say another word Kira said something. "Gomenasai, I need to go...Sayonara!" Kira said yelling out the last part. As she ran before they knew it.

Kirakishou's POV

I kept running to the marketplace, when I reached there I was huffing and panting like crazy for a second there, maybe the blood rushed to my head. Either way I feel dizzy, b-but it's late so I have to...Oof! I hit something again and fell. "Hey you know it's not nice to ditch your new friends!" I was yelled at by one of my new friends, but I forgot his name...what was it? S-ss-sarah? No. S-sostuki? No, not that either. Umm, S-sas-sasuki! No...It's not that either. "Ano, gomenasai but what's your name?" I asked politely trying to be nice. "Uchiha Sasuke. Where are you off to anyways?" He said his large smile turned into a curious one. "Umm, just doing an errand..." I said honestly. "Do you want me to help?" He asked, he is so sweet asking that... but instead I replied "No...Thank you though." And he ran home as he waves goodbye to me and I waved back. When I was done buying all the groceries I quickly went home before it got too dark to see. When I got home mother asked of me two things "Is it heavy?" So I replied her with a swift "No, of course not." While I was lying to her, it was really heavy but instead I wanted to help, and show no remorse for doing something so easy...All I know is that one day I want to become someone helpful, like I did today. I don't care what happens in the end, I don't care what happens to me. I just want to help. Never meant to cause any harm in the world…
