Part 1

The Yagami clan was one of the powerful clans that the shinobi world has ever seen besides the Senju and the Uchiha. They are known for their powerful kekkei genkai of Crystal style and their medical ninjutsu.

The Yagami clan has been in a bitter war with the Uzumaki clan ever since the Clan leader Kenji Yagami's wife Hinata Yagami was killed by the Uzumaki clan.

Meera Yagami was merely 4 years old when she saw her mother brutally murdered right in front of her. Even after all those years she remembered that day clearly. It was her 4th birthday and she was angry at her father for not giving her any attention. His attention was always on her elder brother Hiroshi Yagami. He trained him to be the next clan leader.

She refused to eat breakfast and ran away when Kenji took Hiroshi out to the battlefield. Hinata searched for her everywhere and found her near a river crying. "Come on honey. Lets go home. You shouldnt be out here at this time." Hinata called out to her daughter softly. "No! Dad doesnt love me. I am not coming home." She said with a pout. Hinata held her small face in her palms making her look at her. "Your father loves you so much Meera. That is why he makes sure your brother is well trained so Hiroshi can become the clan leader to protect everyone including you just like dad." Hinata explained to her 4 year old.

"Why cant he train me? I want to become strong too. I want to protect you and father. I also want to protect everyone in the clan." Meera said to her mother. "How about you ask your brother to train you? You know he never refuses your request right?" Hinata said making the kid smile. "Yes. I will ask Roshi to train me and I will become strong and protect everyone."

Hinata suddenly felt unfamiliar chakra getting near them. She immediately hid her daughter behind a tree and took out a kunai. "Mom whats going on?" Meera asked confused. "Listen to me honey. Dont come out of here no matter what. Do you hear me?" Hinata asked sternly. "But mom..". "No buts Meera. You wont come out of here until its safe. Promise me." Hinata said her voice stern. "Promise mom." Meera said with a pout. Hinata gently kissed her forehead. "I love you so much Meera."

Those were the last words spoken by Hinata Yagami. When Kenji and Hiroshi reached the scene they saw over 10 Uzumaki shinobi killed by Golden crystals. "Dad. No one in our clan uses golden coloured crystals. Whats happening?" Asked a confused Hiroshi. A little far away from the dead bodies Kenji saw his 4 year old daughter along with his wife who was dead. The trauma of seeing her own mother's death activated her kekkei genkai and she killed everyone who she saw as threat.

A bunch of Uzumaki shinobi found the woman while crossing the river. Arashi Uzumaki, the head of the Uzumaki clan got suspicious and ordered his clan members to kill her and left the scene. Little did he know that that woman whose death he ordered was Kenji Yagami's wife.

All Hiroshi has ever seen was death. He was brought to the battlefield ever since he was 7 and he lost his mother when he was 9. Hiroshi was determined that he would stop all this war and bloodshed one day. Hiroshi loved his sister so much. It wasnt common to see female shinobi during their time but Hiroshi didnt give a fuck. He trained her everyday so that what happened to his mother wouldnt happen to his sister.

Ever since his wife's death, Kenji never talked to Meera. It was Hiroshi who took care of her. Meera always loved her brother and she trained with him day and night to become stronger. She would always listen to her brother ramble about how he would stop all this war and bring peace one day. She wasnt sure if it was possible but one thing she know for sure was she would stand by her brother through everything until her last breath.

Every year on her mother's death anniversary she would come to the river where she was killed and just stare at the water for hours. It was her 16th birthday and she laid on her back near the river listening to the sound of the running water and watching the clear sky. She woke up to some rustling sound and realised she slept there.

The moonlight kissed her skin and she felt an unfamiliar chakra near. She immediately got alert and stood in position. She saw a young man probably her age or even younger come stumbling. He was bleeding heavily and passed out as soon as he saw her. She immediately rushed to him. The first thing she noticed was that he looked kinda cute with his dark black hair. He wasnt in an armour maybe he is a not a shinobi but his wounds were caused by a sword.

Soon she felt many chakra rushing towards their direction. She immediately hid the guy in one of the bushes and hid along with him. They were shinobis and they were searching for the guy she was currently trying to save. If this guy was a shinobi, those people probably must have sneaked on him since he didnt have an armor or any weapon on him.

She waited until they left and dragged him out of the bush. He looked pale and his injuries were severe. She immediately got to work. Her hands started glowing green and his wounds were slowly closing. "What are you doing to my brother?" She heard an angry voice not so far away from them making her startle. How on earth? She didnt even sense his chakra.

She immediately took out a kunai and stood in a defensive position. Soon the owner of the voice came into her view. Damn! Whats with the appearance of these handsome men in her life all of a sudden? Concentrate dammit. She took in his appearance. He had black spiky hair and onyx eyes just like the guy she was healing.

"I asked you a question." He stated, his voice threatening. "How am I supposed to know he is your brother?" She replied making him scoff. "Are you one of them? Move away from my brother or I will kill you this instance." He warned her. "I would love to see you try." She replied sassily gripping her kunai tight when they both heard a cough.

"Elder brother." He whispered weakly. Meera immediately kneeled beside him and started treating his wounds again. "Dont talk. You lost a lot of blood. Save your energy." She said to the bleeding guy while her hands glowed green. "I dont have any bandages on me. You should cover up his wounds and change them every 2 days." She said to the other guy who was keenly observing her.

"You are a shinobi." He said making her roll her eyes. "Wow! Great discovery genius. Should I give you a fucking trophy?" She asked making him clench his fists. She had no idea who he was and yet she was ratting her mouth carelessly. But he controlled his anger since this mysterious woman saved his brother.

"Thank you!" The younger man said sincerely. "Its okay. I should get going. Dont get yourselves killed." She said making the elder roll his eyes. "That mouth of yours will get you killed one day." He mumbled which she heard clearly but didnt comment on it. "What is your name?" Meera asked the elder guy surprising him. "Daiku." He said the first name that came to his mind. Meera knew it was a lie, either way she smiled. "Well... Not so nice to meet you Daiku. Your brother needs atleast a week rest for him to heal completely." She said to which he nodded in understanding. "What is your name?" He asked when she stood up to leave. "Inora." She replied. Both the siblings knew that was a lie.

What Meera didnt notice was the Uchiha clan crest on both their backs. The siblings also failed to notice the dragon symbol that represented the Yagami clan embedded on her outfit.

"Happy birthday Meera!" Meera woke up to her brother holding a plate of dumplings making her snort. "What am I? 5?" She asked still sleepy. "You may be 17 but you are still my little sister. Come on now. Wakey wakey sleepy head." Hiroshi cooed. "I swear Roshi, If you dont leave my room this instant I am killing you myself." She warned her brother and turned away from him trying to get some sleep.

Hiroshi yanked her duvet and that was the last string. One thing Meera absolutely hates is someone disturbing her sleep. "You brought this upon yourself Roshi. Feel my wrath." She screamed chasing her brother. The clan members sighed heavily. This was not an uncommon occurence.

They are used to their next clan leader and his sister always fighting like cats and dogs. The brother-sister duo was engaged in a heated taijutsu battle in the middle of the street but stopped once they heard someone clear their throat.

"Dad!" Hiroshi exclaimed while the clan leader stood glaring at both his children. "We need to talk." Thats all he said before walking away. Even though Meera wasnt sure if it was meant for her too, Hiroshi dragged her along with him

The pair of siblings stood shocked at their father's confession. He was affected by a heart disease and it was slowly killing him. "I probably have a few months left. After me, I need you to take over the clan." Kenji said looking at his son. "And I dont want anyone else knowing about this."

It has been 13 years since her father talked to her. And when he does atlast, she hears about his possible death. "Can I check on you dad?" She asked quietly, her voice shaky. He gave a small nod and she immediately rushed to him sending her chakra throughout his body. Her father was right. His heart was slowly malfunctioning. If this goes on, it wont be long before he dies.

"I wont let you die. I will find a cure. There must be something in mother's notes about heart diseases. I will make sure to..." she rambled. She didnt want to lose her father too. He may have been an asshole to her. But he is still her father. "Enough Meera." He said making her stop. Hearing her name from him after 13 years felt nice.

Kenji gently wiped the waterfall of tears that flowed from her eyes. "Do you hate me dad?" She asked, her voice cracking. "I can never hate you Meera." He replied.

She sat near the river watching the water flow. She felt like a curse. It was on her birthday her mother died and now her father is also going to die which he announced on her birthday. She spent the entire day going through her mother's notes to find anything about a cure for her father's disease but it was futile. But she wasnt ready to give up. She didnt see Hiroshi after their talk with Kenji. He must have been heartbroken too.

The moonlight kissed her skin when she felt a presence behind her. She immediately swung her fist but it was caught by a firm hand. She gasped at the person. "It is you!" The person said in amusement. "Daiku!" Meera exclaimed.
