"Morning, sleepyhead!" Melodie yelled at her younger sister May, who moaned in complaint and lifted the rag over her head.

"One more... Minute!" She wined, shifting around on the dirt floor. Melodie rolled her eyes and flung the dirty little rag off, making may shiver.

"I dont care how tired you are, if we don't do our job and get water from that well, we won't get the money and starve to death!"

Melodie put her hands on her hips as may sighed and stood up, beckoning towards the outline of the well in the distance, silently saying "let's get It over with.."

The walked with heavy buckets in their small rough hands, feet stinging from every step taken on the cold, hard, winter 3:00 ground.

These two children were poor as poor can be.

To get enough money to survive, they collect water and do tasks for a slightly better off family.

It might sound easy, but they must trek miles just to get a simple glass of water, or do extremely implausible things just to get clothes fixed.

Either way they aren't dead, and they are thankful for that.

Another good thing about working for these people is that they have a TV.

So after the kids are done working, they are permitted to 15 minutes of TV watching!

How cool is that?!

One day, melodie and may were walking back 'home' from work, when something strange happened.

May stabbed melodie.

And pushed her into a river.

Her face was blank and showed no remorse.

Her nervous glance back meant otherwise.

A man in black approached her.

In return for Melodies death, may got 800 gems.

But why is Melodie so special?

She's just a homeless child!

Well, that's where you would be wrong...

+Melodie+

My body rests apon the bottom of the river, my eyes closed and my lungs bursting.

The water around me is stained with blood from my wounds.

So many thoughts, so many questions..

'Why did she do this?'

'Why leave me to die'

'What did i do?!

'What's in it for her?'

'Why did i need to die?'

Then my mouth opens, water floods in, and it all goes black.

"Naruto, no need to get so exited. It's just a D rank!" sakura reprimanded Naruto, who pouted in annoyance.

"Well, yeah, but it's still outside the village!" Naruto grinned, and i sigh.

"Naruto, i don't think 20 metres outside the gates count." I say boredly, flipping to the next page of Icha Icha.

'They cannot interrupt my reading!' I think.'I need to see what happens, i think ryuto is about to propose!'

"Hey guys, do you hear that, 'Dattebyo?!" Naruto yells, and i narrow my eyes when i hear it too.

It sounds like someone groaning.

Something is in pain, friend or foe, i will have to check this out.
