CHAPTER 1: So We Meet

'Damn! Why can't I do this?!' Uchiha Sasha screamed inside her head from the frustration of missing her target over and over again. 'Just one more try… I CAN DO THIS!' She thought as she aimed another shuriken at the target she had been using for her practice, but due to her exhausted state she miss aimed completely. She through the weapon straight up into the air above her, and as we all know… what goes up MUST come down.

Her scream was heard throughout the forest as Sasha crouched down in pain clutching her leg while gaping at the large amount of blood, spilling from the wound just above her knee. She fell over, still in shock praying that the bleeding and pain would cease and she would be able to make that last hit.

………………………………………………………………………………………………

"AAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!"

The tortured scream startled the two Uchiha boys, causing them to stop their training and begin a small search for the thing that made the horrible, mind-splitting sound. "Brother, what do you think could have caused that sound?"

"I don't know Sasuke, but it sounded like a girl…"

"A-A girl?! You mean THAT sound was human?!" Sasukes steps faltered as he made that statement. Itachi only ignored his younger brother, concentrating on finding the girl that must have been in some sort of danger to scream like that.

After about a half an hour they came across a bloodied scene with a girl, huddled into a ball around her left leg that appeared to be the source of the blood, in the middle of a clearing surrounded by used shuriken and kunai knives. Sasuke slowly made his way toward the girl, while his less caring elder brother stood back to observe.

"He-Hey, Are you OK?" Sasuke stuttered from the shock of coming across such a shocking scene. He took another step towards her, but stopped when she began to speak. Her voice cracked repeatedly from exhaustion and shock so Sasuke had to lean forward in order to hear her well enough to understand.

"I-I'm fine…"

"What are you doing out here?! Trying to get yourself killed?!" Sasuke blurted out, "You're coming home with us for medical attention!"

"Was that an order?" Sasha responded with a death glare, "Don't tell me what to do!"

"Do you even know who we are?" Itachi questioned returning the girls glare.

"I don't care who you are you can't tell me what to do!" she said as she stumbled to get up, "Get otta here!"

"What are you doing? Your injuries are too serious to walk on right now" Sasuke yelled, the worry evident on his face.

"No, I am not ready to call it quits just yet! I have to prove-"

Itachi had already begun to dislike her attitude, but that last line pushed him over the edge. The sheer stupidity of wanting to stay while in her current condition just got on his nerves, so, He did all that he could to shut her up. He cut her sentence of by knocking the air out of her in one short blow to the stomach. But, because of her already unstable condition, he ended up knocking her out completely. "Finally… some quiet…" Itachi lifted the girl up off the ground and over his shoulder and began to walk back towards their home.

"Br-Brother! What'd you do that for?!" Sasuke demanded as he ran to catch up with his older brother. "What? She wouldn't shut up…" Itachi said innocently.

………………………………………………………………………………………………

'Wh-where am I? What happened?' Sasha asked herself, slowly opening her eyes, only to find Itachi sitting cross-legged with her arm resting on his knee while he held her hand. "WHAT ARE YOU DOING!?" Sasha said as she yanked her hand back in shock. "Healing your wounds" Itachi said bluntly.

"No I am fine, I have got to go ba-," Sasha said as she was working her way to get to her feet.

"No you shouldn't get up, your wounds will open up again" Sasuke said

"You wouldn't want me to have to knock you out again, now would you?" Itachi said sending an evil smirk in her general direction.

After she heard that Sasha immediately laid down and gave Itachi her hand so he could finish healing it. Sasha mellowed out and didn't complain at all, most likely because she was afraid Itachi would get annoyed and knock her out again. It was very quiet until Itachi had broken the silence, "Just what where you trying to prove to yourself anyways?"

Sasha gave Itachi a discerning glare "Because I want to prove to myself that I am not the weakest one in this damn Uchiha clan!"

"Well you can train with Sasuke and me, since we are of the family's main branch, unlike you."

"Thanks for the offer, but I work alone." Sasha said stubbornly, turning her nose up at his offer.

Itachi, who's just about as stubborn as Sasha, grabbed her chin and pulled her face in his direction, only about an inch away from his own face and said, "This whole 'I work alone' crap is just stupid, you can't accomplish anything on your own!" Sasha stared into Itachi's eyes, stunned due to his actions; she pulled her face back and looked down at her hand that Itachi had just finished healing.

She then sighed "Well then, I guess I could give it a shot."

Itachi smirked at her answer, "That's good to hear."

So the deal was set and done, by the time Itachi had finished healing her wounds it was time for dinner, Sasuke had so many questions for their new friend…

"So…How old are you?"

"Same age as you, 7 years old"

"Do you go to the Ninja academy?"

"Not yet. I start tomorrow"

"Really?! Me too!"

"Oh, and by the way my name is Sasuke and my older brother over there is Itachi. What's your name?"

"My name is Sasha."

"Sasha….that's a pretty name." Sasuke blushed slightly trying to avoid her gaze.

"Uh…..thanks….Well if you're done interrogating me I think I'll be going home now..." Sasha said as she attempted to get to her feet again but it failed. Instead, she stumbled and found herself in Itachi's arms "Idiot! You won't be going anywhere tonight! You're going to stay here for the night…Just take it easy, ok?" He then picked her up bridal style and carried her back to her room.

When Itachi laid Sasha down he went to go sit in a chair that had been conveniently placed in the corner of the room. 'Why is he still here?!' Sasha thought.

"What are your doing? Aren't you going to sleep?" Sasha asked.

"I will as soon as you do. I can't have you running away in the middle of the night, now can I?"

"I don't think I could, even if I wanted to." She grunted in response.

"Well, just to be sure…"

Sasha looked at Itachi suspiciously. It was as if Itachi had another reason for wanting to stay in the room with Sasha.

'Well it doesn't look like Itachi is going to leave so I might as well just go to sleep… damn…' Sasha said, annoyed that Itachi didn't seem to think that she's trustworthy.

"Yawn, Well Goodnight Itachi!" Sasha said as she turned over and slowly drifted off to sleep.
