Summary: AUish Sometimes it's easier to run away from the pain and suffering in your heart. But if you had a reason to stay, would you? Sorry, summary sucks. Anyway, please review.

 

AN: Please review!

 

Based on the song `Easier to Run' by Linkin Park - at least for the first couple of chapters, hehe. My sister deleted the mp3 off her computer and, well… I never copied it to my computer. If someone has heard of a good mp3 site please let me know.

~ Something has been ticking

From deep inside of me

A secret I've kept locked inside

That no one can ever see. ~

A lone figure still remained outside in the cold summer's night after her two caretakers had gone inside. Soon they would find her note, and then she would run as soon as there was a sign they had. Her short black hair tossed around in the breeze, stopped only by the thin, ragged brown hat and leaf village forehead protector she wore on her head. Dark eyes stared at the house of the people who had been so kind to her. But she was like that. Not rude or anything, just a runaway. She had to run or he would find her. He would find her and kill her. But that wouldn't be so bad. Then she could be with her parents again, and see their laughing faces. Her mother, father, brother, and baby sister. The girl looked up to the dark sky, and was reminded of what happened nearly two years ago.

 

*Flashback*

 

"Mother! Mother!" a small girl of ten cried out.

The girl's mother was crushed under a board, of which her older brother was stepping on. The woman's already thin body cracked from the pressure on its rib cage. The girl ran back from the man, who was advancing towards her, and backed into the wall. Behind the man she saw her father slumped against the wall, a huge gash across his throat.

The girl clutched a baby in her hands. Her baby sister, who was only 7 months old. She sheltered the baby with her back hunched over it, but it was no use. Her brother kicked her off, and she slammed into the wall, blackness threatening to overtake her world. Before her small black eyes closed, another scar appeared on her heart, as the man - no, the monster - known as her older brother lifted the small baby girl up into the air and stabbed her clear through her small chest. The small girl's eyes finally closed, her world echoing with the piercing screams of her tortured sister.

 

*End Flashback*

 

An old woman and man went through the small hallway of their little house to go tuck their adopted daughter into bed. However, when they got there, the bed was neatly made, and the girl they had grown to call their daughter was gone. A small note lay on the bed. The woman picked it up with shaking hands, and tears streaming down her face, read it.

Mother, Father

 

I have to leave you now. I might come back, but it's too dangerous for you and me here right now. Thank you so much for all the things you have done for me, and for taking me in when no one else would. I'll remember you always as my mother and father.

 

Love your daughter,

Nariko

AN: Aww. Wasn't that sad? T_T This is only the prologue, so it's pretty short. I promise the chapters will be pretty long. ^___^ Please review! It only takes a second, and I accept anonymous reviews!

 

Thanks,
