Akihiko Kemononoō had always thought he would follow in his father's footsteps. He would become the next Kemononoō-clan head and bask in the respect and admiration of the small civilian village the clan was located in. He never expected for it all to change overnight. Beaten, bruised and feeling dirty, he fled from his confines only to meet Team Minato in hopes of being saved from the horrors that had been forced upon him. Konoha had been subconsciously welcomed as his new haven and a new dream for the future had lodged itself into his heart. He dreamed to become a Therapist, to help and save others from themselves. Now, at 25 years old, he had been helping a small group of children for 5 years and views them as his own family to care for. But nightmares from the forgotten past are slowly returning and bringing an unstoppable tide of pain and insanity, while he can do nothing but watch as it approaches. {Updates will be incredibly slow, unfortunately, due to school.}
