***Flash back***
Darkness. The pitch black nothingness of the void. this was all that was visible no matter which way you turned. Standing in the middle of it, she sat there crying. A girl. Her crying echoed through-out the nothingness. Splitting the silence like a knife. Only her figure was visible. It was impossible to make out who the girls was, as all you could see was her silhouette, and the crying wasn't enough to determine the person. As Kuroame moved closer she was able to see the person better and better. Coming from behind her, Kuroame touched the girl's shoulder.
the area around them exploded into view as if the darkness was cast out. It was raining, and they were in a forest with a bright moon shining down on them in the clearing. The grass swayed in the light breeze, and the trees were crowded so close together that it would be impossible to see beyond the clearing. The moon was brighter than Kuroame had ever seen it. it shined down on the two girls in the middle of the clearing, illuminating them as if it were day time. There were no clouds in the sky. The rain was odd for two reasons. the first reason being that even though Kuroame was standing in it, she wasn't getting wet. She could feel the drops patter on her skin and head, but there was no moisture there. In fact, it felt almost... hot. The next thing was the rains color. It was still partially transparent as most rain is, however it's color was easily noticeable. It was black. Pitch black. Like that color of the darkness the two girls had just been standing in, similar to that of both of the girl's hair...
The other girl had stopped crying. She was now standing. She turned and faced Kuroame. Both of the girl's expressions were blank. Void of emotion. The other girl was Kuroame, although wasn't. It was her on the night of the fire. The fire that burned her took her sister. She was still in her nightgown as tear stains on her face but still no emotion. Although having not exchanged words, Kuroame knew her name. Chou. Her sister's little butterfly. Suddenly both of the girl's eyes glow red, as they stared into each other's faces with blank expressions. Kuroame drew her sword. She then raised it up to Chou's neck.
Kuroame only heard the sound of her sword cutting, as she rose from her bed. her heart was beating rapidly and she was covered in sweat. She looked around rapidly wondering where she was. She let out a small sigh of relief as she remember she was in dray's house. She stripped off her nightgown and went into her bathroom, taking a shower to remove the smell of sweat from her body. her mind on the dream. There was more than one od thing about the dream, but the thing that stuck out to her the most was had viewed most of it in third person. On the right side of Kuroame, and the left of Chou, when they were facing each other. She shook her head tying to clear her thoughts. She figured it would be in her best interest not to think about it. it was her first time having this dream after all, so she figured if she didn't think about it too much it would go away and wouldn't happen again. What she didn't want to admit, not even to herself, was that the dream disturbed her to her core.
She finished her shower, dried off, and then got into her usual to head out for the day. She needed something to take her mind off of what just went down. She opened the door to her room and went into the kitchen to make herself some breakfast. After she ate said breakfast, she then wrote up a note to tell dray, whom was still asleep that she was headed out for the day to clear her mind and that she would probably be gone until dinner time. With that she grabbed her stuff from the table and headed out of the door and into the village. There had to be something to clear her mind.

"Well unfortunately I am not from here either and I don't know who the Uchiha are, but I have been all over this village and I do not recall any building that said Uchiha on it, do you know what it might look like and maybe I can help you find it" Godric said putting his arm behind his head scratching. Kuroame tried her best not to let out a sigh and leave right then and there. So he really was useless to her. As much she wanted to have a look of disappointment in unamusement she kept her cheery innocent girl act. She still wanted him to believe he was crazy for having seen what he saw.
"I would love to help you meet up with your relatives, unfortunately you are the first Uchiha I have met. and as I said before I am not from around here and I do not recognize that name, but I will be more than happy to help you look for them if you wanted some company" "Oh?" was the words that escaped Kuroame's lips. So she was the only uchiha he had ever met? And, he didn't even know much about them. Inside her mind, Kuroame was shaking her head. How much of a idiot could this boy be? The Uchiha were one of thee most known clan in all of the shinobi world. Infamous and hunted for their powerful doujutsu. Almost any shinobi ever knew who the Uchiha were.
"Haha, It's alright, I shall find it on my own accord, but thank you for the offer." She said with a pleasant tone in her voice. There were a few reasons she didn't want him to come along. One of which being she doubted he would be any help whatsoever. He couldn't even keep track of what was in front him, she couldn't imagine him searching for something. The next being she really didn't want to meet any of the uchiha there. She really just wanted to survery them so that way she would have the information for later when she needed it, and would be trying to kill them all.
"I was actually just on my way to do some training but I can take the time to walk with you and see if we can not find the place you are looking for if you want to?" Hmm, he was sure persistent on helping her look for the uchiha compound. however, she couldn't let that happen. although she could use some training. She hadn't had much training since she came to kumogakure, even though that is why she had came to this area in the first place was so that way she could get stronger she might be able to take on some uchiha. Although she could say she had gotten stronger since she had gotten here. it wasn't anywhere near the caliber she needed to be at. First off she had only unlocked the first tomoe. Then there was the matter of her physical attributes, which while having improved some, weren't anything to boast about. And, even then she hadn't gained any jutsu since she had arrived her. She had however bought a sword, which she knew would come in handy, but that wasn't all that impressive. She knew she needed to get better, and that was all there was too it. She couldn't get around that, and so therefor training with a partner may actually prove to benefit her than not. But, she did have priorities. There wasn't any point in getting stronger in kumogakure if there wasn't anything in kumogakure for to kill. she would have no point in even being here, in which case she would have no choice but to move on.
"you know why don't we walk and talk?" Kuroame was taken from her thoughts with his words. She still hadn't decided what to do yet. did she want to go train or did she want to stay and search for the uchiha compound. It wouldn't be often she had someone to train with and so this was something important. But she figured she might be able to find someone else to train with her in other locations. Either way, she since she couldn't decide at this very moment she figured it might be better to just walk with him for the moment.
"we can talk more about your family and see if we can't find them for you" she simply nodded as she began walking in the direction his hand signaled too. Then it past in front of her. The black hair and black eyes Signature to the uchiha. Kuroame stopped in her tracks. She then saw the uchiha symbol in the center of the back of his shirt. She started trembling, her face turned as white a sheet. She looked as if she had just seen a ghost.
Emotions surged through. Hate, sorrow, the pain of her sister's death fooding over her again, and even more hate. She hated the man the just passed her. it took every once of her being not to draw he sword for the second time in the past few minutes. er eyes fell to the ground.
"Godric." she said having stopped. Her voice cold and emotionless.
"Let's meet up later. I just remembered I had something I needed to take care of." she said, and then she would seemingly vanish into the crowd.
She had a plan. This boy, unlike godric could take her to uchiha compound. She had already seen his kumogakure headband when he passed her. All she needed was to trail him until he got home, and not be too obvious about it. After they had gotten off the street her and godric had ran into each other, kuroame made her way unto the roof and silently trailed the shinobi from there. Never once did the surge of emotions cease. it didn't get easier to bare. The anger. The sadness. it stayed as she followed him. She wanted to hurt him. To drive her blade into the back of his head and end his pitiful existence there and then. But, she knew that she couldn't, no matter how much she wanted too, she couldn't... Atleast not yet. The boy had use for her. He would unknowingly lead to the demise of his family. His loved ones. Those he cared about. It would be his fault. Not that Kuroame cared. She would remember to thank him for his service as she drive her blade through his chest. They would fall. All of them. Every last one of those damned uchiha. It was their fault she was dead, and they were going to pay.
Kuroame followed the uchiha for quite a while until he headed home. After about an hour or so he made it to the compound. there it was. The uchiha compound. Kuroame made a mental note of where it was in the village, and then she turned around and darted along the roofs of kumogakure no sato with the sun setting in the distance. The bright red glowing orb casting a dull red over the village as it set in the distance. She was going to head to her temporary home for the moment. After that she would get ready for the surveillance she was going to do on the compound. There was still information she would need before she could kill them. Well that among few other things. one of the other she needed was power. This was an absolute. all of her information would be useless if she didn't have power. She was no better than a genin at this moment so there was no way she could simply waltz into the uchiha compound she had just discovered and start killing people. She would be killed instantly, she knew this, and she couldn't die. Not yet. With a determined look in her, Kuroame headed home.
