• "Amiyu! Amiyu where are you?" a boy with long dark black hair calls out. HIs green eyes widen in fear of his charge being slain.
    She giggles as the pale skinned boy looks at her. "Oh Croix you worry too much. I am quite ok." She says. Her luxurious blonde hair had fallen out of its bun causing it to cascade down her back.
    Her blue eyes twinkled causing Croix's breath to lodge in his throat. "Promise me we'll always be close Amiyu. I couldn't live if you and I weren't friends."
    Her heart sank before she smiles at him. "I swear on the blood that flows through me. On my oath as a shinobi I will always be your friend."
    He smiles. "I'm glad Amiyu." I wish I could tell her...
    Amiyu hears a sharp whistle, a signal from her father to come home. "I'll see you later Croix."
    When she arrives home her father glares at her. "You were with that Tsukasa boy weren't you?"
    She nods. "Well father he is my best friend."
    He grabs her by her hair before he flings his only child into the wall. "You stay away from him! He is too low breed for you!"
    She stands up. "I won't go back on my word! That is my nindo. I won't abandon my friends!" she yells.
    He father slaps her. "You little trollop! You're just like your mother!"
    She kicks her fathers leg out from under him. "NEVER TALK ABOUT MOTHER LIKE THAT!!!" she yells.
    "Get out of my house!"
    She glares at him. "Gladly."
    She walks out with the clothes on her back and her ninjutsu weapons. With a frown she looks back at her house. With a resigned sigh she pulls out Croix's whistle. With a quick blow of the flute-like whistle she sits down. "Amiyu what's wrong?"
    "Daddy kicked me out. I have no where to go."
    "Let's leave this village! Amiyu we'll start a new in some strange new village where no one knows us! Please Amiyu?" he asks. "We'll be together always!" he hugs her and she smiles.
    This was her favorite promise.
