Prologue;


Another cold night swept over Konoha, a little village in the Fire Country. Rain was pouring down over the darkened streets as the wind got stronger and harder every second that passed.

A young girl made her way through the empty streets, occasionally pushing strands of her black hair from her face. The blanked she'd wrapped around her body clung to her tiny frame in a desperate try to keep the cold out. She looked at her bare feet as she walked, trying so hard to keep her tears from falling. Tonight was the night. The night her new life would begin. No more living in the shadows of others, no more slaving for her father. She needed to be able to live; to breathe, and the only way to do so was to run away.

A door flung open not far from her and a middle-aged man stumbled out. He looked her over while taking a sip from the bottle in his hand and started making his way over to her as she got closer.

He gripped the blanket around the girl and pulled her closer. A wind of alcohol hit her face as he spoke; "You, you're alone?"

"H-hai," She replied quietly and kept her gaze on the ground as she felt him eyeing her again.

"Come," He ordered and watched her as she shook her head no. "No?"

"I-I hav-have to go so-somewhere," She stuttered and tried to back away from the man, but he held a strong grip around her blanket and wouldn't let her go. "P-please, I have to..."

His body moved closer to her as she tried to get away. He dropped the bottle to the ground and pushed her back until she ended up with her back against one of the wet house walls.

"Please," She pleaded as he ripped the blanket away from her. "P-please st-stop,"

Cold hands gripped her face and a pair of dry lips collided with her cheek.

"St-stop it," She whimpered as he moved one of his hands down the side of her body. "Stop it!"

He grabbed a hand-full of her hair and yanked her head backwards. "Shut up! Just shut up!" He yelled and pulled her pants down her pale legs with his free hand.

"N-no please," She cried out as she felt one of his hands running over her private area. He pushed his fingers upwards and rubbed her viciously through the soft material of her panties. "Stop it!"


Her naked body lay curled up against the house-wall. Tears rolled down her flushed cheeks. She hugged her legs tightly and winced every time the rain hit her exposed frame. She heard footsteps coming closer and closed her eyes. She couldn't take anymore. Not tonight.

A warm hand ran over her face - pushing her wet hair away from her eyes. She let her teeth sunk into her bottom lip as something warm and dry was draped around her body.

"I won't hurt you," A soft voice told her. "Just relax," it added as two arms lifted her up from the ground. "You're safe now,"
