"Finally, academy's over, I was about to die of boredom. Hey Aiko wanna train tonight for the exams?" She gets up from her seat and quickly shakes her head before running out of the building. "Well someone needs a confidence boost."

"Hey baby I'll train with you," I turn around to find the one and only Kiba Inuzuka,

"No way, and I'm not your 'baby'! " I retort while making speech marks with my fingers. He walks towards me and reaches out to put his hand on my shoulder but not while I poof behind him and kick him in the back flinging him into the wall. He groggily gets up, holds his back in pain and mutters underneath his breath "I'll take that as a no." I then poof to a training ground before I can see what happens. After doing a warm up of 10 laps around the village I decide to start practicing my kenjutsu skills, I unsheathe my katanas and start doing attacks on the trees around me destroying them in a few blows. I feel a presence walk up to the training ground and hide behind a tree so I sheathe my katanas while quickly grabbing a kunai and throw it onto the tree the person is hiding behind. "I know your there you might as well come out." A raven haired boy steps out into the grounds slighty shocked as he realises that the kunai wasn't meant to hit him. "Sasuke Uchiha what a pleasure, to what do I owe the visit." I say mocking his snobby attitude. He just smirks ignoring my comment. "Fight me."

"Ok. I can blow off some steam," He seems suprised that I actually do say yes but none the less he gets into a fighting stance oppisite me and smirks "Whenever your ready." I get up and stand biting my nails waiting for him to start. "Well are you going to fight me or not, I dont have all day you know." He smirks at me and then runs full charge at me with his fist drawn back ready to punch. I stand there trying to work out what he is going to do. He steps ready to punch and as soon his fist almost touches my face I quickly run to his back and kick him in the back before he knew where I went. He flys across the field causing a loud grunt as he lands skidding across the grass. He wobbly gets up and turns around while collecting some chakra. I instantly know what he is going to do and start copying the hand signs, I focus on the amount of chakra he is building up and then build up the right amount of chakra to cancel out the jutsu and scorch him a bit but not too much. We both shout at the same time. Fire style: great fireball jutsu! His jutsu is immediately canceled out by mine and mine then hits him sending him flying backwards into the ground with a burn mark on his forehead. He tries to get up but soon faints onto the ground. Maybe I over did it a bit, well a lot. I run over to him and think of the possibilitys, I could leave him to die, I could take him to hospital or I could heal him myself. 'Do what you think is wise.' I hear the same voice in my head. 'Son goku?' I think inside my head 'but I dont know what is wise' 'just heal him kid I'll give you some of my chakra' 'thanks Son Goku' I quickly walk over to him and kneel down beside him making a few hand signs and start healing his battered body. But this time instead of the normal green chakra coming out of my hands its red. I think about it for a minute but then ignore it as I realise as it's Son Goku's chakra. As I stare into his face I have to admit that he is quite hansome, but it's not like I like him, a boy with his attitude, I could never date, maybe if he changed but no. The burn on his forehead slowly healing as I think about the situation. About half way through he slowly regains consciousness."wha... wha... where, oh" he realises as he sees me healing him. "Why are you healing me, you could have taken me to the hospital."
"Just shut up, taking you to the hospital would have taken time that I can't spare and also a lot of hassle cause I will have to explain to them what happened so just shut up and keep quiet." We sit there akwardly not saying anything as I feel my chakra slowly depleting more I heal him. After I see black dots on the side of my vision and I feel like I'm about to collapse I cancel out the jutsu and stand up trying to hide how little chakra I have. I slowly walk away for effect and because I can't walk away any faster. "Fight me" I turn around slightly suprised that he manged to get up a small scorch mark on his forehead (nothing that couldn't heal itself). "Unfortunately I have to decline the offer. You see I wasn't expecting such a weak fireball to come out from you with the amount of chakra you built up and as you can see I almost killed you, so maybe next time."
"Why? Why are you so strong?"
"Because I do something called training Sasuke, proper training, not your excuse for training." I say not turning around I put my arm up and wave it a bit "see you tomorrow Sasuke, at the graduation, good luck," I carry on walking back to the village as I realise that Kakashi never showed me to the apartment the third hokage got for me. I carry on walking through the village looking at all the shops and market stalls as I walk. " Hey daddy when I'm older I want to be just like Atsuko" I see out of the corner of my eye a little kid pointing to her older sister. The familiar name makes me nauseous as I remember the exact same words I said when I was about the little kids age. I sit down on the bench behind me and watch as the kid comes up to me. "Hey you why is that on your tummy"

"Well I had accident and this happened" I reply as simply as I can to the little kid.

"Oh ok" as she says those words the father of the kid looks at me up and down he seems to reaslise something. His eyes widen and he shouts at the girl "Rin come here now" the girl looks at her father in shock "but daddy this girl is nice"

"No she isn't this girl is a betrayer just like her mother" the little girl steps back in awe and runs into her fathers arms. I slowly stand up putting my hands out infront of me in a defensive position. The girl starts crying demanding for her to be taken home and away from me. The man spits at me "go tell your mother to die in hell and that none of your family are welcome here" I start breathing heavily as more and more villagers realise who I am. Suddenly angry at there accusations I shout at them "all my family are dead you idiots, I have no one, I never even knew my mother to start with, she died when I was born. I don't know what she did but I know it's not right to take whatever anger you have out on me. So..." Suddenly I get picked up my strong arms and get carried off down into an alleyway. I intake his sweet smell and instantly calm down in his presence. I slowly look up to see... Sasuke? "Sasuke wha why whe who?" He instantly puts a finger on my lips and slowly places me down as if handling a baby. I look into his eyes and instantly break down into tears realising what I had just said, I fall onto my knees not able to stand up anymore. A reassuring hand places on my back "Sasuke why do they hate me? What did I do to them?" He shakes his head not knowing why and just stands there with a knowing look in his eyes trying to reassure me that it will be ok. I shakily stand up wiping the tears out of my eyes having got myself back together again. "I'm sorry I shouldn't have..."

"It's fine don't worry about it"

"How much did you see?" I say hoping not much of it

"All of it" my heart sinks when I hear that.

"Oh." We stand there awkwardly not really knowing what to say. "Well I should get going, I need to talk to the hokage so..."

"Ok" I slowly walk out of the alleyway and peek around the corner to see if anyone is there. When I see the man still there trying to calm down his daughter I walk back into the alley not really sure what to do next. I stand there for a minute trying to figure out what to do but I realise that standing in the shadows is not what I do. I'm Kurayami Raito. The girl who always try's to make people happy and wants to make it peaceful again. I step out into the streets once again with my head held high and ignore all the insults and the cold hard glares from the people and carry on not looking twice at anyone.

Suddenly Kakashi appears infront of me."Kakashi are you going to show me to my apartment now?"

"Yes, of course" in sigh in relief at the thought of some rest.

We walk in silence to the apartment me humming a bit trying to ignore the stares. "Kakashi"
"Hmm"
"Why does everyone hate me?" He sighs deeply thinking about the right answer for my question. He sits down on the near by bench and signals for me to sit down next to him. After obeying he starts. "Well, remember when I told you that you look like someone who didn't really have a great reputation in the leaf village by the time she died? Well I have reason to believe that this person is your mother. So it all started one day...."
