   Naruto story continued
You guys might want to grab some tissues. In this part, you'll be learning about Kamija's past.

My sister's voice rang in my head. "'Tell her."'
I gritted my teeth. "'It's none of her business!"'
"'TELL HER"'
I sighed then looked up at Hikari.
"You might as well sit down."
Hikari sat down in a chair, a sad look on her face.
I looked down at the floor.
"It happened about a year after the Uchiha incident..."

"Kamija!! Get back down here!!! Our family should be arriving soon and you're completly covered in dirt!! Get down here and get washed up!"
I stuck my tounge out at Riika. "NO!!!"
"Dad said he's gonna come get you if you don't get down."
I lept down and ran into the house. Dad coming usually meant major whipping. Riika followed me inside.
"Come on. Mom says we have to were our kimonos."
I groaned. "I hate those things."
"MOm's orders."
I sighed. I felt like kimonos restricted me in my movement and made me feel trapped.
"Riika! Kamija!"
Our mom ran up to us. "The whole family is here and you two aren't ready???"
Riika pointed to me. "I had to get her out of a tree."
"Whatever. Just hurry up and get in your kimonos. Kamija, get that dirt off your face and comb those damn spikes out of your hair."
I pouted. "I like my hair spiky!!"
"Well, your grandparents don't and we don't want to insult them."
"Fine!!"
"NOw hurry."
Riika grabbed my hand and forced me to follow her to our room. She picked up my dark blue kimono with light blue and dark red dragons wrapping around the fabric.
"Here. I'll help you with your's."
It took awhile to get it on. Usually our mom helped us, but since she was busy, we were on our own.
"Finally! And it took 30 minutes to get your's on and looking correct." Riika looked at me and smiled. "Looks cute. I should get a picture to show Sasuke how cute you look."
"Do it and die. Besides, I'm just a peer mentor. Nothing else."
"And you guys havn't spent at least one day away from each other."
"ITS JUST TRAINING!!! Iruka-sensei asked me to. Apparently it has something to do with a chance at graduating early from teh acadamy."
"Whatever. Help me into mine."
"It's gonna look crappy since i have no clue how to put kimonos on."
"Just help me."
I picked up her bright red kimono with pink and green cranes.
"You got a sissy kimono."
"For your information, little sister, mine is a kimono of high class and is for mature women."
"It's still sissy. Dragons are so much cooler than birds."
"Shut up."
I helped her into it. It took longer to put her's on since i had no clue what I was doing.
"Finally! It's on!!"
"And it only took 50 minutes this time!"
Riika glared at me. "Don't remind me. I'm surprised mother hasn't come and harrass us for being so late."
We hurried out the door, (as fast as kimonos would let us). A scream erupted from the dining hall. Riika put an arm in front of me, stopping me.
"Wait."
"NO!! That was Mom!!!"
I pushed Riika's arm aside and ran into the dining room. I suddenly stopped short. Grandma and Grandpa, my cousins, aunts and uncles were laying on the ground, surronded in a pool of blood. Mom and dad stood in front of our brother's body. Riika pushed me into a corner.
"Stay there and don't make a sound."
"Riika! Protect Kamija!!"
Our mother raised her sword and charged the assassins. Riika stood in front of me to prevent me from watching the massacre. Our mother didn't even scream when the murderer's blade pierced her heart, instantly killing her.
"DAMN YOU TO HELL!!"
Father charged them, his chakra flowing around him. Two men in long black cloaks with red clouds fought him. Suddenly, another stabbed him in the back.
"NO!!"
Riika screamed as she saw Father fall ontop of Mother, dead. THe one who stabbed our father in the back walked over to our brother. I shivered as i heard his snake-like voice speak.
"Can't believe this pest is still alive. Let me relieve him of this life."
Another calm voice spoke. "Go ahead. This clan will no longer live on with out him. Our mission will be accomplished. I must admit, this clan was harder to defeat than my own."
"What about the girls in the corner?"
The one with the calm voice turned towards us. I caught a glimps of red eyes before Riika completly blocked their view of me.
"I haven't had much fun. You two have had all the fun tonight. Let me rip them to shreds."
I heard RIika pull kunai out of a pack she always wore on her right thigh. She placed a finger on the back of my neck.
"I'm sorry Kamija. But, I can't let you see this."
I blacked out.
I woke up, seeing Riika bent over our parents, crying.
"Sister?"
"Don't come here. It's-"
I crawled over to mom and dad. I gagged when I saw them. They looked as if they had been mentally tormented. Dark bruises circled there body as if a giant snake had squeezed them to death. Then, as if an after-thought, their bodies were ripped to shreds. I turned around and puked at the sight.
"Sister... are they..."
"They're dead, Kamija. Everyone is. Everyone is dead. We're the only ones alive."
Tears welled up in my eyes and i clung to mom's hand.
"Mom.. please... wake up. Please be joking. It's a joke right?? MOm?? Mom??"
RIika pulled me away from her and hugged me.
"They're gone, Kamija. Mom is never going to wake up. Not mom, not dad, not grandma, grandpa, our brother... none of them."
I clung to Riika's kimono. A ring in the corner caught my eye. I let go of her and crawled over to it.
"RIika. Look!"
She took the ring and looked at it, then closed it in her hand.
"We will find these murders and we will avenge our clan's death. Every single one. We will do it together."

I looked up and HIkari. She had tears in her eyes.
"OMG. And you've lived with this memory?"
"It's the only thing that kept me alive. Revenge."
HIkari looked down. "I'm sorry. You know, you didn't have to tell me."
"My sister left me no choice."
HIkari looked at me. "I know it may be of a little help, but will you let me help you increase your psychic abilities? I have a feeling you will need it before all this is over."
I nodded.
HIkari smiled then a thoughtful look came over her face.
"Kamija, how come you and Riika lived?"
"I don't know. Riika and I had a mutual understanding to never talk about it. And we never have."
"Do you have any idea why this happened?"
"No. I'm pretty sure Riika had a better idea of why all this happened."
"Well, it's late. Why don't we head to bed?"
