"Hikari do you need any help?" my older brother, Rai asked. I nodded, pouting at the math problems that I was working on. My mother laughed, "She's been trying all evening to do those problems without asking for help." I blushed as my brother smiled, sitting next to me and ruffling my short silver hair. He plucked the pencil from my hand and said, "Here, you do it like this." My sister, Yuna came down. "Finally asked for help imouto?" she said, grinning at me. I nodded, smiling sheepishly. Yuna laughed, "It is okay to ask for help when you really need it Hikari. No matter what Kaa-san says." I giggled as my mother flecked flower at my sister. The front door opened and I heard my father say, "I'm home!" I squealed, hopping off the chair and rushing to the living room. "Tou-san!" I said, hugging him. He laughed, picking me up and saying, "How was my little girl today?" "Good! Nii-san is helping me with my math and Nee-chan is bugging Kaa-san," I chirped. Tou-san laughed, "Why am I not surprised?" I giggled, snuggling my head into his neck.

"You have a little monkey," Rai said, standing as my father and I came into the kitchen. Tou-san laughed, "Yep. But I seem to remember two others who were little monkeys." "True," Yuna said, smirking. She gently took me from Tou-san. "Kaa-san, what's for dinner?" Rai asked. "Onigiri and sweet rolls. I don't feel like making a full blown meal tonight," Kaa-san said."Onigiri?" I chirped. My sister burst out laughing. "Kaa-san you know Hikari loves that stuff!" Rai said, chuckling as he gently rubbed my hair. I smiled reaching out for him. He took me from Yuna. I smiled and snuggled into him. Rai rubbed my back.

The sound of the front door slamming open shocked everyone. Tou-san said, "Stay back, all of you. Yuna, Rai, protect your sister." "Tou-san?" I asked. "Shh, Hikari," he said. "Rai, Yuna, take Hikari and hide." They nodded, going to the pantry. I was thr first one in, then my sister, finally my brother stepped in, covering both of us with his body. Yuna held me close as the sound of voices being raised filled the air. "Why donj't you tell them to come out. Or I will kill your wife right here," a man snarled. Rai gulped. "Kids, come out," I heard Tou-san say. We did.

The man held my mother by her throat, and locked his eyes on me. I whimpered, holding my brohter's hand. He picked me up, glaring at him. I buried my face in my brother's neck, shaking. "She's perfect," the man whispered. "Keep your eyes away from my daughter Derek," Tou-san snarled. I whimpered, his tone scared me. The man, Derek scowled, "You think to order me around?" I looked up just as he shoved a shard of ice into my father's chest. "NO!" my mother screamed, her eyes glowing. "Rai, take her and run!" she ordered. Rain nodded, ashe started to mutter the spell, we were hit with a spell. The forec of it threw me into the table only minutes ago I had been doing my homework on. I screamed in pain as the table shattered and a chunk of wood, bigger than my hand impaled my side. Yuna screamed, I saw her get thrown back. I whimpered, trying to stand. I saw Kaa-san get hit with a curse and crumple to the floor. I screamed, "Kaa-san!" tears poured down my face as Derek walked over. He smirked, "Let me give you a present Princess."

Pain shot through my back. I arched up, screaming. I could feel blood start to run from where the curse was being applied. I could feel the mark taking shape. I screamed again, writhing in pain. Derke smirked, "Now do you know how this little curse goes? You have to find your true soul-mate by the time you turn twenty. If you don't then you will die. If you do find him, you must make him fall in love with you. But you cannot tell him about the curse. Others you can, but him, you can't. he must find out by himself. Either he sees themark or he hears about it." I barely heard him through my pain. The black fog that was unconsciousness took over and I fainted.

"…poor thing, you died too. I failed to keep my vow," I heard a woman say. i forced my self out of unconsciousness and opend my eyes a little. I saw a black haired woman with red eyes kneeling down looking at me. "Are you an angel?" I whispered. She seemed shocked then shook her head, "No little hime, I'm not." She then removed the chunk of wood from my side and healed it. "That's' the best I can do. There is still a scar, I'm sorry." I closed my eyes as she picked me up and said, "You need rest."…..

Itachi and Kisame stared at me as I finished. "So that's what happened," I said, looking at my hands. "Wow, you've really been through a lot huh?" Kisame said. I nodded. "This person you need to find, how do you know that either of us weren't him?" Itachi asked. "Because I was able to tell you about it," I said. "If I say anything to the one who can brake the ucrse about it, my throat freezes. I can't talk about it," I explained. He nodded. I saw that Kurai had transformed into her cat form. She curled up in my lap and said, "I thought that she was dead when I found her. a week later she nad I formed the contract as familiar nad master." I sighed, "I need to stop Derek. Not only to avenge my family, but to prevent others from going through what I did." Itachi nodded. Kisame ruffled my hair. "Tomorrow we'll be at the base. Then we'll introduce you to Leaders-sama," Itachi said. I nodded, "Kay."

Okay, i nearly cried when i wrote about Hikari's family dying. Please review! and remember no flames, they make me sad.
