Hanabira (A Naruto Fanfiction/Madara Love Story)

Chapter One: Burned To The Ground

Author's Note: I have fanart. Cool, huh? Well, not really I just kind of maybe sort of foced someone into drawing Saiyami for me, and it's not perfect, but it's still nice to have, and comforting to be able to see.

The link to my DevaintArt is on my profile, so if you would like, you may go look at them. They are all just fantastic pieces of art. All of them should get a prize of some sort, but I don't have that kind of money, so shower them with praise and such.

Enjoy...

Chapter One

A young girl, only about six, walked through the thick forest. Her light brown peasant shirt and shorts fitting comfortably around her small frame. Her light, sky-blue eyes scanned the forest, curiously, swishing her long scarlet hair from side-to-side behind her. When the forest met meadow, she skipped through mindlessly, her hair bouncing up and down. She was enjoying the beauty of the tall yellow grass. She giggled, liking the feeling of the grass as it tickled her. She didn’t notice the two brothers on the other side of the field, watching from afar, gazing at the unusual red head with wonder. After a moment of just skipping she stopped, tilting her head sideways a little, trying to hear the faintest sound of… clashing metal? The boys heard it too, but ignored it, fascinated with the girl. She was so cute, so small, so fragile looking.

She didn't get scared when she found out it was coming from the direction of her village. She stood there confused as the sound got louder and screams seemed to mix in with it. The boys, however, started to retreat, feeling their hearts drop at the horrible sound. She looked around hopelessly confused as to what was going on. Sadly, just missing the boys as the faded away with the tree line. She took in a breath and slowly started in the direction of her village.

She started to get a little nervous as the grass rose higher and higher around her, and soon enough was taller than her tiny body. When she got back to the forest, she hopped around, taking her time to get back, and ignoring the growing sad feeling in her gut yelling to run away. When the forest broke again, it was her village He village burned in the after noon light, the heat radiating making the summer more uncomfortable. She again looked around hopelessly trembling at the terrifying sight. She gasped in horror at the sight of her fellow village people lying abnormally still with a  gooey, crimson, liquid running from their body. All with kunai shoved deep in their back.

She shuddered, almost falling to her knees and weeping but the deep hole in her stomach made her little legs run as fast as the could through the broken village to their secluded home on it’s outskirts.

She felt something fiery spread through her body, making it even harder to deal with as she ran.

She bolted out of the burning inferno and instantly spotted their large, and abandoned looking farmhouse. She didn’t stop her self as she neared it’s wooden fence and instead let herself run into them, and then trying to sloppily climb it.

After multiple times she stopped and snapped her head up. Her teary eyes scanning the from of the house.

"Mommy! Mommy!" She cried, wishing for her mother would answer her calls. She felt most of the negative feelings drop out of her body when the front door flew opened, and her mother came out running. She was screaming something that the little girl couldn't understand.

Not until she was a few feet away.

"Saiyami! Run!" Her mother barked. The redhead shook her head stubbornly, reaching through the gate to try and grab her mother’s hand. Her mother shot forward a desperate, and angry gleam in her eyes, but they died as time seemed to slow down as Saiyami’s mother grunted and whispered, “Run!” As she fell dead right before her daughter. A kunai stabbed deeply in Saiyami’s mother’s back, right where her heart would be. Saiyami started shaking as the red liquid pooled out of her as well.
