*~Altair POV~*

I woke up early. I woke up about one hour before sunrise. The Moon was still shining bright in the sky and there was no sun on the horizon. It really is beautiful. I love the night. It conceals so many things but at the same time reveals so many mysteries. Because of this, I miss my home. Where I come from, it is almost always night and humans don't dare come close. There are rumors that the Underworld itself is located there and that if any human enters, they will not come back. At least not alive. You might wonder about what country I'm talking about. Well that country has a lot of land, so it is easy to hide there. No outsiders bother it. It is my home. There has been so much blood spilled on its soil, that even the trees turned red. I think that red is the most beautiful color in the world. Even now, as I look towards the horizon, I see some shards of red mixing with the blue night sky, making it look purple. I hear my little sisters toss and turn on their beds and I smile. I love them more then anything in this world and would do anything to make sure they are safe and happy. They are one of the reasons that I fight! My grandmama used to say to me," Never give up and never surrender!" I will do just that. I will fix this damn story!

Today is supposed to be the bell test with Kakashi. I don't know what Asuma and Kurenai have prepared for my sisters so I can't even give them a heads up. 'I should take a shower.' With that thought I got up from my makeshift bed and headed to the bathroom.

When I entered the bathroom, I look at my reflection in the mirror. My golden like hair looked as if it would turn alive and attack something at any moment. My bang that covers my left eye was curled and pointing in every direction. 'Even in an anime, my hair is uncontrollable! How do Madara and Ero-sensei tame their hair!? Gods dam it!!!' *sigh* It will calm down after a long shower. I took off my shirt and then started to unwrap my bandages carefully. I want to reuse them later. First I unwrapped my torso revealing my B-sized breasts. I developed early. That isn't the only thing my bandages are hiding. They also reveal a huge scar on my stomach. It stretches horizontally from my right side to my left side. It also revealed the three larger scars on my back. 'Some wounds just won't heal huh?' I thought with a small giggle. I don't hate my scars. I love them. Scars aren't just markings on your skin, they are a part of you. Every scar has its own story and its own lesson or mistake that was learned. Hopefully those lessons won't have to be repeated. I don't hide my scars because I am ashamed of them or of what other people might say if they saw them. I hide them so I won't be questioned and so people won't freak out and worry about me. Another sigh escaped my lips. Now comes the hard part. Unwrapping my arms. I took in a big breath to calm my nerves. My right hand moves slowly towards my left. I hesitate every time my hand comes closer to my arm. I started to pull slowly on the bandages. 'Calm down, it's alright, it will just be uncomfortable' I tell myself. 'Then again, I don't want to risk anything.' With that thought, I put the bandages back in place and took a cold shower.

I looked at my reflection in the mirror. Blue eyes, golden hair, pinkish lips and pale skin. I hate what I see. I clenched my hand into a fist and took a swing at the mirror. I stopped my fist a few centimeters before the surface of the mirror and extended my pointer finger towards the mirror and touched it. The second my finger touched the mirror, it shattered. I created cracks from the cabinet to the walls and across the ceiling. Good thing the shower was still running. It masked some of the sound.

'I should be more careful. Baka! Baka,baka,baka! I should know better than to do something like this!' Unfortunately I don't.

Another sigh escaped my lips. After that I went into the shower and relaxed against the cold water.

'Why am I so different from everyone else. Both me and Luna that is. I am mostly hated by the council and elders. Even my brother has to pretend to hate me. He put up a convincing act, everyone believes him, just not the people that are close to him...' I heard light footsteps coming my way. There are two footsteps to be exact.
