"Lies" by Evanescences.

A pair of almond shaped emerald eyes shone fresh with tears as they gazed up at a cloudless sky filled with stars. A full lavender moon hung in the night's blanket, giving off a silver light. She blinked away her tears as they ran down her flawless pale skin. Sakura, a girl with cherry pink locks closed her eyes fighting back the burning pain the coursed through her veins and pulsed through the ornate black tattoos that covered her body. The tattoos seemed alive almost as the pulsed with her every heart beat. Ever since she could remember once a month they would appear, maybe to remind her that they were still there. They always came out on the full moon. The gnawed away her chakra and remaining strength. By morning she would be completely drained.

Bound at every limb by my shackles of fear Sealed with lies through so many tears

She sat with her legs pulled up to her chest, her arms wrapped around them in a soft hug. She was sitting on a flat stone perched on the top of one of the smaller mountains that she called home. She was 12 and since she was 5 she had no other home that welcomed her like the mountains. Still she felt lonely, she felt lost almost.
She used to live with her father in a village she log forgot but someone found out about her tattoos. Soon the fire of torches and the angry look that screamed murder drove her into the mountains. Ever since then she lived alone among the rocks. She wasn't really alone, she had all her animal friends but it wasn't the same. Her hands trailed over the handle of a small farming sickle. A farmer boy came up to the mountains to fight the 'monster' that dwelt within the stone. One look at her true form sent him running for his life.

Lost from within, pursuing the end I fight for the chance to be lied to again

She kept the weapon and trained with it for hours every day. She was a fighter, she was born and raised to be one. Her father was a harsh man that beat he every other night just for spite. He hated her and felt nothing else for his only child. He mother died in child birth so he blamed the tiny infant child for the death of his wife when all along it was his fault. He wanted a son to raise into a powerful warrior by he was cursed with his daughter Sakura. Still he trained her from an early age every day relentlessly. He put her through training that was meant for someone three times her age and beat her whenever she failed. She soon adapted to the pain and developed an emotionless mask she used every day. Still there was one thing he could always do that brought tears to her eyes. His words were the most powerful weapon in his arsenal. The stung more than a hundred of his worst beatings.

You will never be strong enough You will never be good enough

Sakura was a very beautiful girl for her age and everyone she meet on the street told her so. It became a ritual for her to wash her face six or seven times every day until her little arms grew sore. Her father told her she was an ugly, filthy and utterly disgusting creature that he hated having to see every day. After all the complements she received all it took was one insult from her father to believe him. When she came back from washing her face he would tell her to go back because she was still dirty and ugly to him. In training she was never good enough for him. He would whip her and yell at her hateful words that made her open her eyes to the tears inside. He told her she was week and ugly and that she would never change. She would never be good enough. He never loved her and he told her that he never would. After that he would walk back into the house and back to his sake.

You were never conceived in love You will not rise above

She soon grew hard on the inside as well as the outside. A mental wall surrounded her emotions that could withstand the longest stream of curses and insults aimed at her. Her sadness soon melted into anger and hatred. She would fight and she would train and one day, even if it killed her, she would be good enough. One day she would prove her father wrong. That became her inspiration, her motivation. She began to train without her father's help ever day until her small feeble body gave out. She trained through the icy winds and in the rain every day without fail. Even when she was sick she train, though not as hard. Her mind was advanced beyond her years as well. She devoured the knowledge in scrolls and books training her mind as well as her body.

They'll never see I'll never be I'll struggle on and on to feed this hunger Burning deep inside of me

She remembered people looking at her on day as the twilight came into birth. The markings on her exposed arms were starting to appear. She turned on her heel and started to run. She could hear shouting behind her and ran faster. Something whizzed by her ear. A glimmer of light told her it was a kuni. She glanced behind her and saw a few of the village's ninja speeding after her. She ran. She ran hard and long. The tattoos on her arms seemed to enjoy her actions and for once give her strength instead of sapping it. She was faster the the ninja and soon felt shelter withing the rock of the smallest mountain. As soon as she settled down her strength turned into exhaustion and she fell over and fainted. The harsh winds of that night rolled over her body spraying her loose hair around her face.

But through my tears breaks a blinding light Birthing a dawn to this endless night Arms outstretched, awaiting me An open embrace upon a bleeding tree

She remembered that night she dreamed. In her dream she was in a garden filled with cherry blossoms. Someone was waiting for her on a stone bench. She couldn't see hi face but she could tell he was smiling at her. She walked over to him and climbed onto the bench beside him. She felt warm and peaceful around him. He smiled down at her and pulled her onto his lap in a hug. She had never been hugged before since her father refused to touch her unless he was hurting her and it felt good. She felt needed and loved. Then, to her surprise, she started crying and smiling at the same time. She never cried or smiled anymore since she created the mask and walls around her heart the protected her from her father.

Rest in me and I'll comfort you I have lived and I died for you Abide in me and I vow to you I will never forsake you

He spoke to her in comforting words telling her everything would be alright. Sakura didn't know who he was or anything about this man but the small pale girl felt could trust him and believed him. Resting her tiny pink haired head against his chest she let herself fall back into the never ending void of darkness that welcomed her every night when she closed her crystal green eyes in slumber. For the first time in all of her short life she felt truly safe and at peace. Up to the present day she still rememberer that dream or vision or whatever might be as clearly as if it were yesterday day the miracle happened. And in all honesty it was a miracle. If that dream hadn't happened she would have most likely killed herself. She knew how, she knew every nerve and pressure point in the human body and could kill herself in a heartbeat. The feeling of being so worthless and hated gnawed at her hear making her want to end it all. Death seemed to be the only way. Thankfully she didn't go through with it.

The next day she traveled and traveled until she came to the foot of the tallest mountain. By then it was the end of the day and she was weary and in need of food and rest. She soon adapted to her surroundings, learning which roots were not poisonous and where the rain water pooled and formed little mountain lakes. She soon learned how to plant food and even how to use her chakra to speed the growth of her plants so that she could eat them the very day they were planted. She had many animal friends that would come to her for food and a scratch behind the head. The mountain goats that lived near buy especially loved her. There were a few birds in particular that built their nests around her home as if to guard her and watch out for her. They would fly down an land on her head or shoulder and go wherever she went.

he rocky terrain and harsh environment worked beautify in helping her train. She could run on an 90 degree angel and still keep her footing, a trick she learned from the mountain goats. She liked to jump off the edge and fall down flipping into an upright position at the last second, a trick she learned from some of the flightless birds the glided through the air. She could run faster and jump higher than any other ninja thanks to her slim frame and light weight. In a storm with high winds and cold rains it was a work out just to survive while standing in one place.

Rest in me and I'll comfort you I have lived and I died for you Abide in me and I vow to you I will never forsake you

There was a small pool in one of the larger mountains that kept it's self heated even in the winter. That was her favorite spot to just lay back and relax. There she could let all her worries slip away. This was very close to where she close to live most of her life since it was a good distance away from the village. A lot of times when she lived in the smaller mountains villagers would come and camp in her mountains. She didn't like seeing them there she she would scare them off. After a year the number of travelers and villagers dropped drastically. Unfortunately they didn't stop completely. What's worse still was that the villagers that did come came to hunt and kill the 'monster' of the mountain or in other words her. She never killed anyone and never had to do much more that look at hem to scare them off. Most of the time she hid until they left.

Sakura sighed and let her arms drop to her side. Her over sized white shirt she was wearing hung loosely around her shoulders. Her feet were bare and a pair of black shorts was all she wore. She had other clothes from some of the villagers that left their garments behind but wore the more comfortable ones at night. The pain around her was reaching it's peek as she sensed the moon falling away. Soon the sun would rise and she would fall into that same dark slumber that haunted her every full moon. She crawled down the mountain path into a small dug out hold she used as a bed. There she was safe from the sun's chromatic rays. She lay her head down on a bed of bird feathers and closed her eyes welcoming the deep black oblivion the greeted her.
