A Game Called Life
Neji and Akira (OC)
Chapter 1A girl named Akira Uchiha was dashing through the trees as fast as she could with a smile on her face. She was pretty happy for someone who just ran away from home. Although the place that she called home had a mother who didn't care about anything but her looks, and a stepfather who beat her every day, you'd still think that she would be at least a little sad about leaving that place. But Akira was happy and enjoying the freedom that she hasn't felt for so long, even though she knew that the fact that she'd just ran away from home will really hit her later.
Her hair was floating in the wind as the girl ran faster and faster to the beat of the music coming from the headphones of her mp3 player. She started to sing along when a new song came on.
"I've got the gift of one liners and you've got the curse of curves..." she sang under her breath.
She was now getting close to Konoha - her real and true home. The big gates were now in her sight and her smile grew bigger as she got closer and closer.
She jumped off the branch she was standing on and landed on the ground right in from of the gates. She walked through and came up to the two guards which she recognized immediately.
"Kotetsu, Izumo, is that you? Wow, so you guys are the gate guards now...cool." said Akira. The two men looked at her strangely.
"Do we know you?" said Izumo.
"It's me, Akira. the girl whose mother ran away with me from the Uchiha clan 8 years ago..." she said.
Her smile didn't get any smaller even as she mentioned her past.
Kotetsu and Izumo looked lost in thought for a moment, but then their faces got brighter.
"Akira. You've really grown up." said Izumo.
"Yup. And I've come back to be with my clan again." she said. Much to my mother's dismay... she added in her head.
"Your clan?..." said Kotetsu.
"Well yea, I'm an Uchiha remember?" said Akira.
"Yes...but...well I think it's better you see for yourself..." said Izumo.
"Huh?" she said.
"Just go to your family's compound." said Kotetsu. She looked at them and brightened her smile up a bit.
"Ok!" she said as she rushed to the compound.
"She's changed a lot" said Kotetsu.
"Yea, but she's still really cheerful...let's hope that'll help her when she finds out what happened to her clan..."
