Chapter 1 - The beginning

+Sich Erinnern +

“It's okay for every time I think back on a bad memory, I will take on step forward and create new and better memories with my loved ones"


I was so happy, you were laughing
With a smile that melts everything away

Spring is still far away, inside the cold earth,
Waiting for the time to sprout

For instance, even if today is painful
And yesterday's wounds remain
I want to believe that I can free my heart and go on

I cannot be reborn
But I can change as I go on, so
Let's stay together always

Smile only at me and touch me with those fingers
This simple desire is everlasting

I want things to be simple
Let's finally get across this sea of mournful sorrow

For instance, even if today is painful
Someday it will become a warm memory
If you leave everything up to your heart

I understand the meaning our living here
It is to know the joy of having been born
Let's stay together always

For instance, even if today is painful
Someday it will become a warm memory
If you leave everything up to your heart

I understand the meaning our living here
It is to know the joy of having been born
Let's stay together always


I can't really fathom why you would be reading this, it isn't really interesting, or special, not really, it's just a normal story. What urged you to read this?, maybe you picked it up by accident, either way, with or without a reason for you strange behavior, I have written this for it's intended person. Once you start out to do something you must finish it. I'll tell you a story, a story of being baby, being raised, childhood, and all that fun stuff. Yes, so make your self comfortable, I'll tell you my story.

Born on the thirteenth of December, an unwelcome addiction to the family, born from an affair between a natural genius and a shy nobody. You know how affairs go, a child is never good for that mixture, not at all. Anyway I was dubbed Kegawa Mimirin Inuzuka, my birthplace Konohagure, the village hidden in the leaves. That's when my story began, but let me start from the beginning, to the start of my creation.

Long ago, several years before I was born my parents were young, and went to the academy together, My father Ketsueki Inuzuka, he was the charming genius that every girl crushed on, as you can guess didn't even acknowledge Ai Nara's existence. Then the two graduated and were grouped into the same team. Then they even knew of each others existence, but for the most part Ketsueki saw Her a s a team mate and nothing more. Same thing for Ai, she couldn't help but she him as something unattainable, someone who was far out of her league.

Why would he see anything special in her?, Ai was a quiet, shy, woman, She had no special qualities, besides she was rather talented at healing, but not so talented it would warrant any extra attention. It just so happen though, on a mission Ketsueki was injured, and Ai was the one to care and heal him back to perfect shape. If they didn't happen, I doubt another chance would have happen, and I would of never been born, suppose I should count my blessing. Sometimes I had my moments when I did wish that it never happened, but you know, My mom use to always tell me "for every time you think back on a bad memory, You must will yourself to take a step forward, to go creat new and much better memories with your loved ones"

Mother said fate much have put them together, she would recite it to me every night in a fairytale like fashion, I suppose she didn't want me to feel as if I was unwanted, She told me it was love at first sight but I know better. What they had... was a secret, that was the thrill, Ketsueki was engaged, betrothed at birth. They had passion, they had lust, but they didn't have love, so it was no surprised when the were found out and forced to ignore each other existence they didn't fight it. They both had their duties, My father to his fiancée, and my mother to her weak heart, knowing that she would get hurt in the end anyway.

So when the Inuzuka's learned their star relative was being 'seduced by the evil Nara witch' , they ordered that the two didn't see each other anymore. Which they did, going their separate ways the two didn't get together anymore. At first my mom didn't know she was carrying me, so she continued to do missions to busy her self. One of those missions she picked up a hitch hiker. No not a another child, or a illness but it might as well been. A demon spirit had entered my mothers womb, it was looking for a new host, and it was far easier to attach ones self to a growing child then a grown person. So I was picked for it's next container, no not a sealed beast, in fact it's part of me, rather then sealed in me.

I'm not sure how to explain this event, I suppose to demon wanted to take full control of my body, I'm not sure why, but instead of taking over my essence, we ended up becoming one. I gained traits from the demon, things that normal humans weren't born with... opps I'm getting ahead of myself, that's for later, I'll tell you about it later I promise.

My mom soon found out she was pregnant as she started to gain weight, which was a big surprise for her, she wasn't really wanted a kid, especially if she was to raise it alone. Those who thinking being a single mother is hard, try being a single ninja mother. Any way, the Nara family wasn't all that pleased but it was the be a family member they couldn't turn their back on it, I say it because then they were unsure if I was to be female or male. Not that I think they really cared, they probably wished she would miscarriage. you may think that is cruel, but truthfully, it's most honorable to a family, for a daughter, or relative to bare without a husband, it was tainted path of life.

Father didn't know of my mothers pregnancy, in fact he didn't know of my birth till a couple years later, but will get to that soon enough. Then the day came, I was born on the thirteenth of December as I had stated earlier, born late in the night, if I were born any later my birthday would have been the fourteenth. My family wasn't to happy, on top of being a result of something 'dirty, and Unhonorable' I was born with the markings of a cursed child, left handed, and a angel Kiss on top of my head.

What is a Angel kiss?, well it's a name some call when a child is born with hair, with a small patch of white. Angel kiss was said to be a sign of a death, every child born with the kiss, is said to be needed back in heaven, and which would be taken back, and a young age. being left handed was another trait, said to be found in children that would grow up to be troubled in some way, some said they were cursed at birth.

My mom didn't care, she had decided as she was harboring me, that she would keep me, a memorabilia of shorts, so she named in Kegawa, to at least leave a bit a my fathers family tradition. My middle name Mimirin, well it was a special name, she told me named me that for she loved the sound of it and always wanted to name her daughter it. Though I wasn't called Kegawa Mimirin Inuzuka at first, My name was In fact Kegawa Mimirin Nara. For when I was born, my father wasn't around, and they weren't married, so It was only natural I would take my mothers name.

So then I was set in the world, despite my cursed quality and how everything seem to point against me, I was going to fair, my beautiful mom was going to raise me. She was a wonderful mom, I can tell you that, I always had her full attention yet she still managed to do her job. I never really stayed around family members, mom didn't trust them, but up until I was three the only Nara I played with was a little boy my age, he was really lazy, as he is now. That's Shikamaru for you never changing, he was a great friend back then, and though he was lazy he was always fun to be around.

One day when I was three, I was playing with Shikamaru out front, mom was inside taking care of an injured ninja, a tall man walked into the compound, His features seem cold, sharp, and to a three year old girl really scary. I just so happen to bump into this stranger as I was running from my cousin. I remember looking up to the man, his piercing green eyes stared down at me, a look of surprise on his face. I started crying, can't blame me I was small and he was... well not.

Shikamaru grabbed my hand pulling me away from the man, pulling us behind mother who had ran outside to find out what all the ruckus was about, “it seems” Shikamaru started, patting my blonde hair “he is your mum's friend” He stated, I always hated how he knew everything, now that the stranger wasn't staring down at me, I cheered up, I gave him a slight grin. He sighed contently, don't let him know I told you, but he's really weak against girls tears, he was and always will be a gentlemen who cares for a lady. I ran towards my mom wrapping my arms around her leg, peering from behind, to look at the man, it seems they had already started a conversation.

“Is that the child?” he asked pointing towards Shikamaru, my mom shook her head, I had no idea what child they were talking about but I was always the nosy on “what child mommy?” I asked curious looking up at my mom. Mother looked down at me with her warm blue eyes “hmm, no child baby” she said patting me on my head. I couldn't help but grin big, the man was no looking at me again.

He walked towards me and mom, and I backed up a bit, mom placed her hand on my back so I couldn't move more “it's alright baby” she said, then leaned down next to me “remember when You asked me if you had a papa too?” she said sweetly. I blinked, yeah what of it?, I wasn't quiet sure where she was going “yeahs you told Kegawa that you'd talk about it some other time” I chirped. Ai smiled softly at me, running her hand thought my pig tails “well baby...., this-” she paused eying the man for a moment “Is your papa” That my friends was the beginning of it all...
