The Unexpected World

Narrow

When I was little I cried when my mother left. I begged and cried for her to stay with me. I wanted a happy family. My dad holds me as she walks away from us. My mother smiles turned to sadness when she turns around. I have never gotten over it. It still replays in my head. The same girl that always takes my book to make me talk, said the worst sentence. That no one should say to anyone in their life. "If you don't talk, your mother will die."

I made both fists. I stand up and punch her right cheek, causing her to fall on the ground. I ran out of the room. I headed outside, skipping school. I ran towards the pathway that I smack the boy with the book. I hide in the forest. I hide and cried.

"What a drag." I stop and looked to my left side to see the smart boy. He lay against the tree. "Why are you crying?"

I didn't speak to him. He sits next to me. "Cheer up. It isn't worth crying over it."

I looked to the side. "I'm Snow." I finally said.

"Snow? What an odd name." I pout looking the other way. He chuckles. "Whatever."

I looked at him. "Who are you?"

"Shikamaru. So, you go to a normal school?"

"Yea..."

"Too bad you don't have chakra." He gets up and walks away. He put his hand up. "Cheer up little, Snow," as he walks away without turning to look at me.

It made me blush, I read so many books on the main male leads doing that to the main characters girls. He jumps up and disappeared. I smiled to myself. 'I will find mama, I will question her.' I said to myself. I smile at the sun.

"You finally came."

I stand up and looked at the raven hair boy. He walked a little closer to me as I back up until my body couldn't anymore since I hit a tree. He comes inches away from me. "This time, I'll make you pay. This will be easy." He punches the tree right next to my face. He smirks. "What's your name?"

I didn't speak to him.

"Are you mute?"

I push him causing to fall on his butt. I ran away, but I trip over a root. I tried to get up, but he stands in front of me. He grabs my face. "Look, this is your first warning. You aren't allowed to touch me. I will steal your first kiss."

I blushed as he lets go and walks away. I got up to see him walking away. "What's your name!!"

He stops to turn his head. "Sasuke Uchiha..."

"Uchiha? I'm Snow!"

He jumps up and left. I left the site and came across the sliver or white eyes boy. He narrow his eyes when looking at me. He walks up to me. "You have been crying?"

I looked away. I notice his eyes again. "Why your eyes do that?"

"Byakugan."

"Byakugan? What is that?" I asked kindly.

"I could see chakra."

"Chakra? I don't have any chakra. Well, I should get going." I walked away. I went to school to only get yelled at. Which I don't care. I took a seat. Everyone was quiet when I came back. The girl look away that I punch. Once school was over, the girl and I were left behind. She talked and I wrote to her.

We shook hands in front of the teacher. Soon, I went home. My father wasn't home. I was left alone once more. I was confused on what to do. I wonder why father never told me why she left us. I wonder if she had an illness that was taking over. "I know what to do. I'll be a doctor for mama to come back." I said out loud.

"Snow, I'm back!" I run towards my father and hug him. "Hey, kiddo. Why with the hug?"

"I know, what I want to do."

"What is that?"

I backed away as I put my arms on my back. "I want to become a doctor so mama can come back."

He was surprised and smiled with delight. "That's my girl." He put his arms out. I run towards him and hug him as he picks me up. "How about we make some dinner. Also, how was school?"

"Good. I want to eat."

"Great." His big smile on his face as we went to the kitchen. We started to cook.

...

The following day, my dad wakes me up. My dad walks me to school.

...

For the next couple of days, before my birthday. I would study about curing people and all kinds of illness. An odd illness, it says there is no cure for it yet. I will get to the bottom of it. On my birthday, I didn't go to school. I went straight to the library to study. I wonder what type of illness does mother have. I study up until 11pm. I check out some of the book and headed home. I read about chakra flow.

There were some jutsu signs that would teach the beginners. "I would do them for the fun of it." I said with a smile on my face. I did the jutsu slow and my hands started to glow red. In the book it said it should glow green.

"Red?"

My father walks in, out of all days in my room. He notices my red hands. "Snow!" He grabs them. "What have you done?"

I shook my head. "N-nothing. I'm sorry. I thought nothing would happen," as my tears came running down my cheek.

He hugs me. "It's time to tell you."

"Papa." I cried.

...

When I calm down as my chakra went away. Papa and I took a seat on the couch. "Now, I know I'm going to explain to you why you have red chakra."

I looked at my hands. "I thought I was normal?"

"I know, kiddo. You are a normal girl."

"Then why I have chakra?" I asked him.

He looks at me like a father would. "Look, your mother and I protected you from all kinds of harm."

"Mama?"

"Yes, you are old enough to be told." His eyes become very darken like he remembers something painful. "Your mother isn't a normal person. She came from a village that uses chakra." I was taken back. "No one is allowed to use it since it's very dangerous chakra."

"Papa..."

"Shh, let me explain. When your mother and I met. We fell in love, but her parents didn't want us together so we run away. We got married and then we had you. Now, let me explain, why you were placed in the normal school instead of the ninja academy. You have a special gift that a lot of people will use you for. Your mother and I were scared that will happen so your mother moved here knowing it's the best option for you and for me."

"What gift?" I asked.

"You could see the past and the future of people live." He says. "Be very careful. Your mother warned me that you will fall into horrible trouble. I must keep you protected all cost."

"Why daddy?"

His eyes became sweet. "You're my baby girl. I won't let nothing happen to you." He kisses my forehead and hugs me. "Daddy is here to always save you."

I hug him. "Papa. You think mama left because she saw something horrible?" He didn't speak to me. He lets go.

"Hey, don't give up on studying on becoming a doctor." He walks away.

"Papa!" He stops. "How can I use my ability?"

"You mustn't." He walks away.

I looked at my hands. I wonder, what mommy saw. 'I'm sorry father, but I will get stronger and I will find mother. I will bring her back.'
