"NOROIKO!"
You cringed at the sound. It was never good when he called you, but it would be worse if you didn't respond. You slowly rose from the fire place, your room. You hurried to your father before he could be put in a worse mood. As you entered you immediately knelt to show him control.
"Hello there curse child" he mocked. You knew the routine and kept your head bent. "You’ve had it pretty good lately haven’t you, you little rat." It's true you thought he hasn't even started a fire in my “room” for 3 days. "Well the fun is over" he calmly stated as he backhanded you. "I found some dust in the attic." He continued as he kicked you in the stomach. “You been shirking your responsibilities again haven’t you.” You remained silent knowing any sound would give him excuse to continue longer.
Finally when he grew bored of the beating, grabbed you by the hair, and drug you to your "room". This was when you started to tremble. Whenever he took you with him to start a fire it meant big trouble. If you weren’t with him it would normally go out before you had to go in and you wouldn’t get burned as bad. He threw in a few logs and begin work on the fire. "If I wouldn't be charged with murder I'd be done with here and now" he spat.
When he had a strong fire going he grabbed you’re already bruised body and tossed you in the flames. You hit the back of the fire place with a sickening smack. You felt your bones snap. You rolled out of the fire as quickly as possible only to bring the logs with you. The room caught fire almost immediately. "You stupid little girl" your father screamed as he picked you up by the arm. "I don't even care anymore if you die" he said as he hurled you through the third story window.
Well this is it, the nightmare is finally over you thought with a smile just before you hit the ground; and everything went black. You slowly opened your eyes to see a man with silver lopsided hair standing over you with another man named Jiro from the village. Not being able to keep them open for more then a second you just listed to what they were saying.
"Poor girl, to lose the last of her family in a house fire and barley survive herself" the silver haired man said. If only he knew the whole story you mused.
"She deserves it anyway" Jiro huffed. Here it comes.
The silver haired man cocked his head to the side "why do you say that."
"She's cursed. Can't you just get rid of her Kakashi, you are a ninja right?" So that’s his name. O well it won’t matter in a minute any way.
"How is she cursed?"
"Her eyes glow. We "took care" of her mother for the same thing right after she was born." Jiro said in a matter of fact way.
"What will the village do to her now?"
"My guess just leave her, she will die sooner or later."
"What’s her name" Kakashi said slowly picking you up.
"Noroiko”
Kakashi shook his head as he slowly headed home with the unwanted child. “Well we will just have to do something about that now won’t we” and with that you passed out again.
