From within the nightmare

by Stormiedragon

Raven hasn't spoken a word since her parents died when she was 5. Now she lives with her uncle Kakashi and is slowly falling in love with a criminal. What is a girl to do? A.N. This is one of my older stories but I'm posting it any way.

Chapter 2- Ten years later

The rain that was falling kept getting heavier and heavier by the minute. The last time I saw a storm like this was the night my parents died and it was also the last time anyone heard me speak. Uncle Shi says the reason I don't talk anymore is because I got so scared from seeing my parents dead, that I locked my voice away. As I watched the storm from my window I heard the front door open.
"Raven I'm back. Are you still up?"
I got off my bed and headed down stairs to the kitchen.
~Yea I'm still up. Why?~
~I know it's late but do you want dinner?~
~Sure.~
~What's dinner Uncle Shi?~
"Ramen what else." He said as he gave me smile from under his mask.
I just shook my head. As he cooked dinner I thought to myself. 'Why can I only talk to Uncle Shi mentally? Why can't I know who killed my parents? Why?' My thoughts were interupted when Uncle Shi placed a steaming bowl of chicken ramen in front of me.
"Eat up, you're going to need it tomorrow."
~What do you mean?'~
"I mean that you are going to meet your team tomorrow."
~WHAT! You're letting me join a team? What team?'~
"Mine and you're going to be training with us from now on and go on missions with us. You are a real member of team 7."
~YES. Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!~ I jumped from my seat and gave him a huge hug and kissed his cheek. Then I ran off to bed. Kakashi shook his head and thought to himself. 'That's the first time I've her smile since her parents died.' He ate then went to bed.
