Info: Decided not to do the idea from Prologue 3 after all. This means after this part I will go ahead with Chapter 1. In this part, Kimi runs away from home and is attacked by three men who are drunk. She is saved by her new father and starts trusting him. The next morning she meets two boys her age, Naruto and Sasuke. Sasuke, like her has also suffered at the hands of Itachi. Together the two make a vow, to defeat Itachi one day, together.

Prologue 2

A few days later, Kimi was released from the hospital. The doctors and nurses were surprised at how quickly the child healed up. While she was in the hospital Kakashi and even the 3rd Hokage kept coming to see her. Lord Hokage had given her a huge bag of candy that she greatly enjoyed a lot. The day she'd gotten out, Kakashi had adopted her as his daughter. She didn't really understand why he wanted her, but she didn't care. She followed Kakashi to his home, which wasn't that huge. It was a bit small, but he did have one extra bedroom upstairs, which was to be her room. During the time she was recovering Kakashi had allowed her to see his face as well, thinking it would help to earn her trust. It was night time by the time they got to her new home.

Kimi had also been given new clothes by Kakashi. She had a whole brand new wardrobe of clothes in her room and tons of new toys as well. Seemed like Kakashi had been arranging this room for months, since he found her. Right now Kimi was in a sky blue, outlined in white, two piece outfit. It had a big red heart right in the center of the shirt and was tank top styled and showed her belly. The skirt she wore was the same design as the top expect there was no heart on it. The skirt split at the sides to show off skin tight spandex shorts and she wore black colored sandals on her feet.

"Do you need help settling in?" Kakashi asked her.

"No! Just leave me alone!" Kimi snapped at him. It seemed it would take a very long time for the girl to accept him. As he hadn't fully entered the room, Kimi closed the door, locking her new father out of her room.

"Kimi, I know this is hard on you but will you please just listen to me for a moment? I know, losing your parents and older sibling can be hard, trust me. I understand what you're going through. I lost both my parents when I was the same age as you. Like you, I also felt like I couldn't depend on anyone but myself for a long time. I realize, it won't happen over night, but please Kimi, let me help you through this," Kakashi begged her.

'Ya right! I'm out of this dump!' She yelled in her head. Kimi opened her window and climbed down the tree that was just right outside the window.

She ran quite awhile, through the darkness, until she ran smack dab right into a hard body. She was knocked over onto the ground. "Hey! Watch where you're going!" She yelled, even though she had ran into the guy first. It was a group of three guys who looked to be in their early 20s. They appeared to be drunk, though Kimi wouldn't know what that meant.

"Hey, little kids shouldn't be out by themselves late at night. You never know what creeps could be wondering around in the dark," the guy she bumped into told her. All three guys advanced onto Kimi, getting ready to hurt her.

"No! Get away from me!" She cried out in fear. The guys would not listen though. She was backed into an alley and into a corner. She crouched down onto the ground, closing her eyes in fear. However, just then, she heard the clang of metal. When she opened her eyes all three of them were knocked out and tied up. Kakashi was leaning down to her level, a look of concern for her in his one eye that was showing.

"Are you okay Kimi?" Kakashi asked her. The girl sobbed and threw herself into his arms. "Hey, it's alright." He rubbed his daughter's back in a smoothing gesture, trying to calm her down. He held the child tightly in his arms.

"Daddy," she sobbed, shocking him at the fact she just referred to him as her father. This made the man very happy to hear his new daughter call him her father for the very first time. Even when she was in the hospital after she'd woken up when he'd visit her she never once called him her father. Now she was and it felt so good to him too.

"Let's get you home and into bed," he told her. She nodded and Kakashi carried her home in his arms. He'd already called some Anbu in to deal with the three guys he'd tied up. He carried her up to her room and left her to change into her nightgown, before going back into the room and tucking her into bed, where he kissed her goodnight, on the forehead.


The next morning Kimi saw a kid around her age with blonde hair that stuck up and he had blue eyes, at the park. For some reason she noticed all the other kids ignoring him, like he had the pledge or something. She understood how the boy felt. After all, that's how her old village had treated her. However, when Kimi came up to say something to the mean kids, they ran away from her as well. She guessed they heard about her village and was scared of her.

She walked up to the blonde boy, "Don't worry about them. Kids can be crude. I'm Kimi, what's your name?" She had a smile on her face, showing the boy she was friendly.

"Naruto," he told her, "Naruto Uzumaki." She played with the boy for a few hours and found out he loved ramen, which he treated her to a bowl of it at his favorite place to eat, Ichiraku. Then a few hours later, when she was walking around alone, next to the river, Kimi thought she heard someone crying. She found a young boy the same age as her with raven black hair and onyx black eyes. He appeared to be pretty upset about something.

She walked up to him where he was sitting on the bench, "Hey, you okay?" She put her hand on his shoulder in comfort as she sat next to him.

"What's it to you?! Leave me alone!" The boy snapped at her. He pushed her hand away from his shoulder and turned away from her. Kimi stared at him in wonder. The way he was behaving was just like her the other day when she refused to accept her father's help.

"Hey, it's okay. You've lost your family didn't you? So did I. I lost my whole village actually. I'm Kimi, nice to meet you. What's your name?"

The boy's face suddenly changed to look a bit gentle, "Sasuke Uchiha. You mean you weren't born in this village? And yes, everyone I know is dead," he told her. He suddenly felt a strong connection to this girl. She like him, knew how painful it was to lose your whole clan and be left all alone.

"No, I'm from a village very far away from here on a small island. I was rescued by Kakashi Hatake and adopted by him. He's now my daddy. A man calling himself Itachi Uchiha destroyed my whole village."

"That's my brother! He killed the whole clan," Sasuke told her. "He only left me alive."

"What? Your brother? Really? I guess that explains why you look so much like him and have the same last name as him," said the girl. "But don't you worry. One day Itachi will get what's coming to him. I'm going to enter the ninja academy, become a ninja and kill him."

"Not if I kill him first," Sasuke told her.

"Hey! He's mine! Itachi killed my whole family and burnt down my village. At least YOU still have your village. Me, I have nothing, NOTHING!" Kimi yelled as tears flowed from her eyes. "I wish I were dead!" She turned away from him and sobbed.

'Hey, this girl's not half bad. At least she's not flirting with me like the other girls and she's suffered just as I have," making up his mind Sasuke turned her to face him. He leaned a hand over to her cheek and began wiping her tears away, "Don't say that! Sure you lost a lot but look what you have gained. Plus, if you died how would you get your revenge on Itachi? I have an idea. Let's do it together. I think we'd be much stronger as a team and we could look out for one another. What do you say, Kimi?" It was the first time he was using her name.

"Sasuke, thank you," she hugged him and he hugged her back.

Just then though a pink haired girl with a red ribbon tied in her hair came up, "Get away from Sasuke-kun!" She cried, running towards them.

Sasuke turned a bit pale, "Run!" He grabbed her hand and the two of them started running away from the pink haired girl.

"Why are we running?" Kimi asked.

"That's Sakura Haruno. She has a mad crush on me and follows me around everywhere I go." Sasuke explained to Kimi how all the girls at the academy had mad crushes on him. She laughed thinking that was the funniest thing ever. Her laughing made Sasuke laugh as well. And laughing, the two ran off into the distance, away from Sakura.

"Come back here!" Sakura yelled.
