The New Mews

-prologue-

And to think that I was almost a normal girl. . .I mean, aside from the fact that I had the wolf demon, Hikaze, sealed inside me when I was born and that I inherited the Majyk powers from my mother's side of the family doing just about anything you could think of with those powers, I was normal. Well, okay, maybe I wasn't normal, especially after Orochimaru had put his curse mark on me. What's a girl to do when everyone expects her to be the best? If they hadn't pushed me to my limit, then I would never have ran off to Tokyo in the first place.

Three years ago:

"Akashe, I want you to use the summoning jutsu to bring Okami-hime here," he told me. "She'd be a great animal to train with considering she's a wolf. She'll obey you."

"Why, because of Hikaze?" I questioned. " I refuse to use that demon's power, Orochi-sensei."

"Do it, Akashe. Or would you prefer to practice using the Healing Rampage Jutsu again?"

"You know I can't perform that jutsu more than once a day! It'll drain my chakra to the point of death if I do! Why would you even bring that up?" I yelled at him. "I thought you were supposed to keep me alive? Wasn't that what you promised my father when I was born? That you would never use me to destroy Konohagakure and that you'd train me so I could live up to the expectations of the village? Besides that, wasn't it you that said you'd never let anything bad happen to me because you love me?"

I headed for the door about to burst into tears. Kabuto slid in front of me and grabbed me. I fell to my knees trying to escape his grasp. He held onto me tightly as Orochimaru got up out of his chair. His yellow-green eyes told me that he was upset, but not like usual. He had Kabuto let me go as he dropped to one knee and kissed me on the cheek.

"Akashe, I do love you, more than you'll ever know. I want you to be strong, like your father was before he died. I'm only looking out for you until you can for yourself," he whispered in my ear. "I understand that you're trying your hardest, but I have to push you further or you may never be able to surpass Itachi's skills. Maybe you should take a break."

"Orochi-sensei," I held back my tears then suddenly wrapped my arms around him. "I'm sorry."

I kissed him gently then snapped my fingers. I sat on the bed in my room in an instant. I was barely breathing as I stood up to grab some clothes out of my closet. Oh, no. I thought. That was my first kiss. . .with Orochi-sensei! Oh my god. I was worried about what he would think, but I didn't have the time to go back. I had to get away from the ninja world for a while, if not forever. I picked out the three cutest outfits I had and shoved them in a bag. Then I snapped my finger to go to Tokyo.

When I got there I was sitting in a rather large maple tree. I hopped down from the branch and started walking up a nearly invisible path. Trees and bushes covered the path for about five yards then opened up to a large field. There was a large building in the center of the field. The path I was on led to the back door. I followed it up to the building and then went in the back door even though I knew I could get in trouble.

Once I was in the door, I noticed that there were two ways to go. I could go either up the stairs into the kitchen or down a flight of stairs to only god knew where. I chose to go into the kitchen. I put on a hat that was in my bag and walked in. There inside the door, standing next to me was a high school boy with blonde hair. He looked down at me with icy blue eyes and looked like he was expecting an explanation. That's when I turned around to run, but he caught me.

"No need to leave in such a hurry, kid," he said to me and pulled me into the room. "Why'd you decide to come in the back? Were you expecting to find something?"

"Let go of me, that hurts!" I yelled and tried to punch him, but instead I knocked my hat off. "Let me go, now damn it!"

He let go of me for a second then grabbed me again and made me face him. He was in shock as he looked me in the eyes. I didn't know what he was thinking but whatever it was I don't think I wanted to know. Then suddenly he disappeared as I blinked. I looked down at my feet after a second. When in the hell did that cat get there?!

"Ryou, is everything alright back-" a older boy came into the back room. He had long brown hair and dark brown eyes. "Excuse me Miss, but you shouldn't be back here."

"You're telling me. But some guy with blonde hair stopped me from leaving. He just disappeared though and then this cat was here."

"Blonde hair? That would be Ryou. But where is the cat at?" he asked as he looked around. "Alto, come here you crazy cat. Can I ask you a question Miss?"

"Um, sure. By the way, my name is Uchiha."

"Well, it's a pleasure to meet you, Miss Uchiha. I'm Keiichiro Akasaka. Did Ryou say anything before he disappeared?"

"No, he just vanished after staring at me for a minute. I don't know how he got away so fast, all I did was blink and then this cat appeared."

"Oh, my, that's not good. Miss Uchiha, would you excuse me for one second? I'd like to talk to you with Ryou. I believe I know where he is."

"Okay. Where should I wait?"

"Go through that door and through that room into the dining room," he pointed as he picked up the cat and headed towards the basement. "I'll be with you shortly."

"Alright."

I started for the door and went into the room that he'd told me to go through. I would have gone into the dining room, but there was a statue of an animal that interested me. I was drawn to it like a moth to a flame to say the least. I walked up to the statue and stared into the animal's shining eyes. Then there was a flash of blood red light and all I could see were the silhouettes of two animals. The animals seemed to jump into my body and to my surprise, I didn't feel a thing. After what seemed like seconds, the room returned to normal.

Ryou and the other boy were standing there. Ryou was leaning against a mirror then held it up for me to look in. I was wearing a black and red outfit and I had ears and a tail! I stared in shock as I felt the ears and then I pulled on my tail. That hurt! What was going on?

"Sorry, Miss Uchiha, but I did tell you to go straight to the dining room," Keiichiro said to me. "Ryou, we need to-"

"I know, Keiichiro, but there's something about her. Just her aura made me transform. She has to be the one," he said, then turned to me. "Uchiha-chan, how old are you?"

"I'm thirteen. Why?"

"Thirteen? That's a bit young, Ryou."

"Yes, it is. I apologize for this in advance, Uchiha-chan."

Ryou walked up to me and pulled the pendant off of the collar to my outfit. Then he pushed me backwards. I could feel myself falling, slowly. Then Keiichiro walked behind me and caught me as everything went black.

The next day, I woke up in my room back in Otogakure. I had no memory of the day before except for when I had kissed Orochimaru. I got dressed and went to wake him up as usual, but when I went in his room, he was already awake. He sat up in his bed and beckoned for me to come to him. I walked over to his bed and sat on the edge of it, next to him.

"My precious, Akashe, I'm so glad you're alright. I was worried about you."

"Orochi-sensei," I hugged him tightly with my face pressed against his bare chest. "I love you!"
