"It's her again"
"Why is she even here?"
"Stupid girl, her eyes make her even more creepy"
"She probably hurts her siblings, the monster she is"
"She is just like those two demon children, disgusting"
Erica hears the voices, the voices of the people that disapproves her, a young 13 year old like herself was labled 'Stubborn And Useless Child' due to the very fact she prevented anyone from trying to adopt her siblings, to the point where the Third Hokage put Erica and her siblings in an apartment which she now has to pay for while trying to get food for her siblings, however it becomes a struggle due to the local markets putting prices high whenever she comes in and buys something.
She was also considered a strange child with the strange abilities of her family, Erica was apart of a clan in Konoha called the Akagami Clan, a Cresent Moon as the symbol, however her mother was banished from the clan due to her father who was the remaining survivor of his clan, the Saito Clan, Unlike her siblings who inherit their mothers Purple Hair and their fathers Black eyes or their mothers blue eyes and their fathers brown hair, Erica was a little different.
Erica inherit both her Mother and Fathers eyes, her right eye was black and her left eye was blue, her skin tone was Almond color like her Mother while all her siblings had their fathers skin color which was beige, Erica's hair was a Honey-Brown Color which was a bit lighter then her fathers hair which was a brown-butter color, the civilians called her odd mainly because of her two-tone eyes.
Naruto pats her cheek, brining Erica back into reality as she smiles gently and tickles Naruto light who giggles and laughs in pure joy, the voices she can hear being blocked out by the beautiful sounds of laughter. 'I would prefer to hear laughter then others talking about me...' Erica thought to herself as she lets Naruto play with her hand as she has a small smile on her face. she makes a small and gentle gust of wind blow on Naruto face, making the blonde toddler cheer and clap his small hands. Menma notice and crawls over, Erica smiles softly and did the same thing to Menma making the small red head flabbergasted before cheering himself.
Iruka and Mahiru smiles at the scene as Erica plays with Menma and Naruto gently, they knew between the three of them, Erica had more experience with taking care of children since she had younger siblings of her own, speaking of siblings, "It's 2:30pm Eri" Iruka says and Ericas eyes widen, "Thanks Iruka, Bye bye Naruto and Menma, I have to go now" she gently hugs both boys before giving them to Mahiru and Iruka, quickly putting her jacket on, she waves and leaves to the Academy to pick up her siblings, both Iruka and Mahiru had a sympathetic look as Erica runs off, they knew to not talk about Erica always leaving early, they knew not to say anything because they know that they don't know the feeling of raising siblings on you're own as a parent to them.
[At the Academy]
Erica huffs as she takes in a breath once she made it to the Academy at 2:50pm, 10 more minutes before school finishes, she sighs in relief before she realized that all the parents are looking at her with disgust, Erica remained quiet once she catched her breath and waited as they begun to whisper, something she really hated listening to.
'Creepy'
'Why is she even here?'
'Tsk, I would of had a chance to take one of her siblings'
'I heard she bit a adult when he wanted to adopt her sister'
'Such an animal, they should control her properly'
'I heard shes mentally ill since she claims she hears, see's and smells thing no adult can see, why is she even a Shinobi?it's obvious she should be in a Mental Institution'
And the voices go on, Erica kept her head low as her hair shadowed her eyes, she hated hearing the civilians whispers, she hated and didnt want to hear it, however it was difficult due to her high advance hearing, she hated it, she just wanted-
Erica's eyes slowly widen when she feels gentle hands cover her ears, bringing her out her thoughts, though the hands felt ghostly and cold, it had a tingling warmth to it, they were large and frim but gentle ghostly hands, 'Don't listen to them Erica-Chan and just focus on one thing, you're siblings, I promise you that you'll be okay' Erica was stunned at the unknown ghostly voice was the warm and comforting to hear, she smiles softly to herself and silently agreed as the ghostly feeling of the ghost hands disappear from her ears, Erica breathes before continuing to wait for her siblings, blocking out the whispers. Once school was out, all the children come running out, Erica smiles seeing her 3 Brothers, 3 sisters and her toddler twins
she put in day-care school, they all noticed her and go to her, engulfing her into a hug as she smiles and pats each of them on the head, ignoring the disgusted looks she recieved by adults.
She was fine with it, afterall, she has more important things to think about, and that's her siblings.

[The reason Erica put Saito on all her siblings last name is because her Fathers Clan has died out, so her and her siblings are the only ones left of the Saito Clan, since there other Clan, Akagami was still alive, Erica decided to name her siblings under the Saito last name so her father's legacy and Clan doesn't die]
