A ninja to remember

The sun came through the windows, casting shadows of the furniture surrounding the four girls. They sat all together, watching the old TV set on a bean bag, designed to look like an armchair.

The oldest had blonde, curly hair that reached her middle back, blue eyes and glasses that glinted in the sunlight. The youngest had strawberry blonde hair, turquoise eyes and a green hoodie.

The two middle children sat together. One was Sora, her black hair glimmering in the sun, her eyes filled with tears. The girls sat in silence, awaiting the dreaded knock on the door .

It came, ringing through the room and making the three of them jump.
"Sora. Can you come here please" said the woman, beckoning Sora to her. The girl obeyed, squeezing each of her cousins hands as she left.

The corridor outside stank. A mix of alcoholic hand wash and badly cooked food wafted through the building. But Sora had gotten used to it, having been here for two months.

The two females walked in silence, their footsteps unheard as they walked towards the room, passing other doors that held sadness. They walked through one, the sounds of ten people crying filling Soras ears.

Her relatives stood by a bed, aunts, uncles and grandparents alike all hugging each other in remorse. All eyes turned to the new comers, Sora shrinking, not liking the attention on her.

Her mother gestured her over from her spot by the bed. She tread silently, not wanting to break the peaceful noises if the fountain outside. The door opened to a garden filled with flowers, stone chairs in a circle where the girls would play fantasy games when they were bored.

Sora came to the bed, hating how her father looked. His once thick dark hair now thinned to a few wisps on his head, his eyes glittering with tears. His left hand quivered with fright as seizure after seizure overtook his brain. His right hand lay completely still, not being able to be controlled.

His clothes, which one smelled of cat fur and cigarette smoke, a comforting scent to Sora, now smelt of old hospital rooms and channel No.5 which Soras mother sprayed to cover up the stench.

The nurse and doctor came round, pulling Soras mother away from the others. She took her fathers hand, clenching it in reassurance. He squeezed back, while she watched her mother break down in tears.

They came back in again, holding a machine which they hooked up to him, hemisphere eyes taking a panicked look. Seeing this Sora stroked his hand, soothing him.

They were putting him to sleep, eventually the sickness inside his head would take over, killing him anyway, so to help with the process, they were going to shut down his brain. Put him into a coma like state.

His eyes fluttered closed, his breathing slowed, his hand stilled...

And he went under. His brown eyes never to open again.

A/n I'm so so so sorry, I just had to write this. If you're family has been affected by cancer as mine has, please, stay strong. Life will get better. Now on with the chapter. (You thought I would end it there didn't you^^)

Present time

Sora

"Lighting style: lightning field" I shouted, directing my hand towards the muddy water. The snakes wailed and disappeared, Orochimaru standing on his own.

Naruto was behind me, a few yards back, fighting four eyes. I stood fighting with Jiraya, determined to beat this snake.

A new idea came into my head.
"Jiraya! Distract him!" I shouted to the Pervy sage.

"It's a little hard when I don't have my arms" he shouted back, urging his toad to advance. I gathered chakra in my hand, hearing Naruto do the same behind me.

I mixed my lighting with the Rasengan, creating a whole new jutsu.

"Now move away" I shouted at Jiraya, his toad leaping backwards on my command. I urged Sherlock forward, his massive paws creating craters in the ground. I leapt from his head when I got close enough. Flying through the air, towards his head.

"LIGHTNING STYLE: RASENGAN FLASH" I screamed, aiming the chakra at him.

I don't want to edit this. Too upsetting to.
