It was raining today. I sat by the window watching the rain drip down the window. I was in the middle of racing two rain drops when my mother came in.

"Nami? Honey, why don't you go do something?"

"I would but it's raining! I can't do anything while it rains!" I exclaimed pouting. My mother sighed and grabbed a book off the shelf next to me. She dusted off the book and handed it to me.

"Why don't you read?" with that she left. I looked at the green cover of the book. It was about plants. I sighed and put the book down next to me. I was bored out of my mind. I wasn't in the mood to read, I wanted to talk to someone. I suddenly got an idea. I bit my thumb drawing blood and I performed the seals for the summoning jutsu.

Mamoru appeared in front of me with a frown.

"Mamo!" I exclaimed greeting the creature in front of me. Mamoru gave me look as if to say 'Mamo?'

"Yeah! It's you're new nickname! You like it?" I smiled at the otter.

"No." Mamoru said. I deadpanned.

"Well too bad." I said a frown appearing on my face. Mamoru sighed but didn't comment. He walked over to the window and realized it was raining.

"Why aren't you out training?" He said. I gave him a look.

"It's raining silly!" If possible I'm sure Mamoru would have facepalmed.

"You're kekkei genkai is water! Rain is water! This is the best time to train baka!" Mamoru snapped. Wow, am I really that stupid? I can't believe I forgot about that! Oh wait…

"But Tousann won't train me until I start getting A's in class." I complained. Mamoru jumped from the windowsill I was on and walked to the door.

"Well then I guess I'll teach you." He said. I was shocked. Mamoru would do this for me?

"Well you coming girl?" he asked. I nodded and ran to the door. I swung it open and sprinted into the rain. Mamoru ran out after me. I laughed and twirled in the rain. God did I miss this! I used to play in the rain all the time in my past life.

"Girl! Quit fooling around." Mamoru commanded. I giggled and saw down in a puddle splashing Mamoru. He growled at me but I knew he wasn't really mad.

"Ok girl let's get started. First you have to figure out what controls your kekkei genkai." He said. I put my hand to the sky and waved it around with the occasional 'oh oh pick me! Pick me!' Mamoru let out a breath of air and nodded at me.

"Yes?"

"Anger controls boiling water!" I beamed.

Mamoru praised me and went on, "Good. Now you that know this you have to learn to control your anger and call upon it when you use your kekkei genkai." I nodded my head a few times. Mamoru told me to control my anger, first I had to become angry.

I had no idea how to do this. It's not like I could become angry on the spot. When I told Mamoru of this he shook his head and told me I would have to learn. Minutes went on with me trying to make myself angry. Nothing was working.

Mamoru was starting to get annoyed.

"It's not that hard! I give up. You're too difficult to teach. You should never become a ninja. How does it feel to be a useless ninja? You can't even get A's in a simple class. Pathetic." Mamoru began walking away. Tears pooled in my eyes. A useless ninja? Am I useless? I couldn't even do a simple leaf exercise.

No. I am a great ninja. Screw what Mamoru says! Something began to boil inside of me. Mamoru can't give up on me! We've just begun! My hands clenched at my sides. I raised my eyes to glare at Mamoru.

"You will not give up on me!" I roared. I felt the rain become hot around me.

"Good! Now keep this anger but clear you're mind!" Mamoru yelled at me. Clear my mind? Clear my mind? I can't just clear my mind! Anger swam through my vision. All I saw was red. The rain around me formed a tornado. The bubbling hot rain tornado was spiraling towards Mamoru.

"Girl! Girl stop! Control your anger! Girl!" Mamoru shouted at me but I paid no heed to him. The tornado grew larger and faster as it approached Mamoru. He jumped out of the way as a ball of boiling rain that came flying at him. He ran towards me dodging boiling water balls as he went. The tornado turned around and came flying towards Mamoru and I. I couldn't control my anger. I couldn't stop.

Mamoru's paw began glowing white and he slammed it against my head. My anger suddenly dispersed.

"What?" I mumbled. My head was throbbing. Mamoru sat by my feet.

"You let your anger control you girl." Mamoru informed me. I frowned. Why couldn't I control myself? I just got so angry. I can't even remember why I was angry in the first place.

"Don't worry girl. It was just as tough for your father the first time, although he was a lot older than you." Mamoru confessed. "Do you know why you control boiling water girl?"

I shook my head unable to find an answer for his question. Mamoru crawled into my lap and look me in the eyes.

"Those who control boiling water are said to have died a horrible death in their past life. The anger and fear of their death has traveled with them into this world. You are afraid of what this life has to offer and you fear a death similar to your other life." Mamoru said a distant look in his eyes.

I thought over what he said. It made sense. My death, being burnt alive, terrifies me even now.

"You must learn to overcome the fear. You must learn to control and except the anger within you. Only then will you be able to control you're kekkei genkai." Mamoru concluded. I smiled at him. I grabbed him in my hands and hugged him.

"H-hey! What do you think you're doing?" Mamoru hollered. A pink tint appeared around his cheeks.

"Thank you for this Mamo." I put him down, "can we continue this tomorrow?" I asked with hopeful eyes. Mamoru let out a huff of air and nodded. I grinned and pat his head. Mamoru frowned at my action before poofing away.

"Well Mamoru, tomorrow then." I smiled. The rain stopped and a wind passed by. My hair fluttered in the breeze as I thought of what tomorrow would bring. Maybe I would finally be able to control myself, or even learn a cool jutsu! I couldn't wait. I ran inside with a large smile plastered on my face.
