The wind blew as a young man in his mid thirties entered the Village Hidden Beneath the Moon. He stood out in the darkness. The moonlight seemed to bounce off his pale skin and yellow, snake-like eyes as he walked through the deserted streets of the sleeping village. His presence went unnoticed by the sleeping civilians, sleeping comfortably inside their homes, but not by the ninja guarding the village. They jumped from the rooftops and surrounded him.

"State your name and your business."

One said and the yellow eyed man simply smirked at them before disappearing from sight. The ninja looked around trying to find him, but couldn't find him anywhere. Suddenly a cry of pain rose into the peaceful, night silence and the smell of blood filled the air as the yellow eyed man cut down ninja after ninja with a single swing of the sword in his hand. He lifted the sword to his face and licked the blood off the blade before smiling at the dead ninja at his feet. He stepped over them and continued on his way through the village until he got to the house in the eastern part of the village. He could fell the chakra signatures of three people inside, but it was only the one of a young girl he was after.

He stepped inside and as he made his way to the bedroom of that little girl he suddenly felt the cold steel of a kunai pressed to his neck and laughed dryly.

"What do you want?"

A man asked as he made sure to keep the kunai pressed to the yellow eyed man's throat. The sound of the man's voice roused the little girl, no older than nine, from her sleep. Her eyes widened when she saw her father and the yellow eyed man in her room. She saw the yellow eyed man turn and suddenly grab her father's wrist and pull his arm behind his back. She used that time to climb beneath her bed and into the small cubby that had been hollowed out. She held the latch open just enough to watch her father and the yellow eyed man. Her father tried to fight, but the yellow eyed man killed him. The girl started to let out a small whimper as she watched her father fall lifeless to the ground, but slapped a hand to her mouth and held it in so as not to be found.

"Now where did that little brat go?"

She heard the yellow eyed man ask and held her breath, praying not to be found. The man walked towards her bed and she shut her eyes in fear of being found until she heard a gasp from her bedroom doorway. She opened her eyes to see her mother looking down at her father before glaring at the yellow eyed man.

"Orochimaru."

Her mother spit the name out as if it were some form of disease before pulling a kunai from the pouch on her thigh.

"What are you doing here?"

Her mother asked and she jumped when she heard the yellow eyed man, Orochimaru's laughter.

"I am quite curious about your daughter Meyzuki."

He said and the little girl watched as her mother glared at Orochimaru.

"You'll never have her!"

Her mother yelled before charging at him.

Her mother didn't last as long as her father had, but she managed to stab her kunai into Orochimaru's arm before he killed her. The little girl jumped in surprise when she suddenly saw her mother's dead and bloody face right infront of her as her body fell next to her bed. The little girl's eyes welled up with tears, but she refused to make a sound. She heard Orochimaru move around, trying to find her, but after a while he cursed to himself before disappearing out her window. The little girl didn't move from her spot for a while, but once she was certain the yellow eyed man was gone she crawled out of her cubby hole and knelt down next to her mother. The tears streamed down the little girl's face and she collapsed onto her dead mother's body as the sobs wracked her body. She'd just lost the two people who loved her the most because of the yellow eyed man's interest in her and she didn't even understand why he was interested in her in the first place.

-THREE YEARS LATER-

The sky rumbled with the promise of a storm as a figure with shoulder length white hair and ragged clothes walked down the street of the Village Hidden Beneath the Moon. Her gray eyes resembling the storm clouds above. She didn't notice the six figures following her, she was too focused on trying to find something to eat. As she made her way towards the bakery she was suddenly pulled into an alleyway by three of the six figures. She instantly started to fight against them, but stopped when she was slapped across the face.

"That's enough now girlie."

One said and the girl looked up to see a man with black eyes and brown hair cut short with a scar along his left cheek. She'd seen him before from wanted posters up in the village square. He was Morikoshi, the main sex slave trader in all of the five nations.

"What do you want with me?"

The girl asked as she tried to get free of the three men holding her.

"Isn't it obvious?"

Morikoshi asked with a laugh as he stepped closer and tilted her head up so she looked up at him.

"You'll fetch a very pretty penny."

He said before nodding to the others and they all moved to tie her hands and feet.

"No!"

The girl cried, but they didn't listen. She tried to fight them, but got slapped again. She stilled, her hair falling in her face so that it shadowed her eyes and a deep, rumbling sound came from her making two of the men stop what they were doing and look at her funny.

"I said no!"

The girl growled before her body suddenly started to be surrounded by a white light.

"What the..?"

Morikoshi started, but then glared at her glowing form.

"Hold her down!"

He snapped at the five men and they all moved forward to try and hold the girl down, but were suddenly knocked back by a white and purple furred tigress.

"What the fuck?"

One of the men asked in shock before his throat was suddenly ripped out by the tiger. The other five tried to run, but the tiger pounced on them and killed them instantly. Morikoshi tried to run from the alley, but the tiger jumped and knocked him to the ground. He rolled around and held his arms up infront of his face trying to protect himself, but that didn't stop the tiger's sharp canines from tearing into the flesh on his neck, ending his life. Villagers watched in awe at the white and gray furred tiger. Both amazed and fearful of it. All their eyes widened when the tiger was surrounded by white light and turned back into the form of the white haired girl from earlier. She held a bloody hand to her head as the world seemed to spin to her.

"Monster!"

Someone yelled and the girl looked up to see the villagers of her village looking at her with fear and hate filled eyes.

"I-"

She was cut off when one of the kids threw a rock at her and hit her in the side of her head. The other kids and villagers quickly followed suit and the girl shielded herself with her arms as she ran. The villagers' cries of monster and murderer could be heard as she fled towards the forest surrounding the village. The girl tripped over a rock and went sprawling onto the forest floor, but she didn't bother getting to her feet again. She just curled up into a ball on her side and started to cry. As if sensing the girl's anguish, the sky broke and rain started falling. The water mixed with the girl's tears, but still she did not move. She'd lost her parents years ago for reasons she didn't understand and was just cast out of her own village because of a power she didn't have full control over. She honestly had no reason to go on so she just laid there and let her tears fall and mix with the rain, hoping that it would somehow wash away the pain she felt though she knew it wouldn't happen.
