There was something about her. Her eyes in this picture, it was like the sand with long black hair wearing a long white dress. She was very pretty that I couldn't look away.
"Itachi? Are you listening to me?" Sasuke says to me which I did not recall his answer.
"Aw, yes?" I said despite the lack of communication between us.
Sasuke sighs, "never mind." He walks away into the living room.
"Itachi." My father says as he stands in front of the door. I turn to him. "Yes, father?"
"Don't forget to go to the Hokage this afternoon. He talked to me about a mission that you must do."
"Oh..."
He points at the picture, "where did you find that?"
"I found it under the sofa when Sasuke and I were cleaning."
"Give it to me at once." He put his hand out and I realize his face was very angry looking. I gave it to him.
"Who is she?"
"No one." He rips up the picture and heads inside. I headed inside when my mom walking up to me, "are you okay, Itachi?"
"Yes, why you ask?"
"Father told me you were out of it."
I shook my head, "no, I'm fine now, mother."
...
I headed to the Hokage office and opened the door. I walked inside. "Hello, Itachi."
"I heard you called for me."
...
It was only to clean up around the village since we had a hurricane that hit us about two days ago. I looked up at the gray sky and something was falling towards the ground like someone drops it and it landed in my hands. It was the same picture that my father destroyed. It was her, I looked behind the picture and it says, 'save me.'
"Save me?" I looked at the picture closely and she was unsmiling. I headed home after I finished. I went to confront my dad about this.
We were in the living room, "yes, son?" He says since I called him out here.
"I have a question, who is that girl in the picture." I showed him the picture. "I fell from the sky."
He looks like he didn't want to talk. "Forget about that girl, Itachi." He grabs the picture and rips it and walks away.
"Then why those it says, save me!" I raise my voice a little bit loud.
He stops and says without turning to me, "she is no one and remains that way for a very long time, Itachi. She is an unwanted picture. Now, don't you ever mention her again this house or ever again! Do I make myself clear," he says angrily.
...
About a week later, the village was already clean up from the mess. We were eating dinner. "The fish is very tasty, Mikoto." My dad says.
I smile, "it is wonderful, mother."
My mother smiles, "thank you, I always try my best for my family."
...
The following day, I couldn't stop thinking about the picture of the girl. I went to ask my mother. She was cutting some carrots. "Mom." She turns to me, "yes dear?"
"I was wondering if we can have a pleasant talk."
"Sure," she put down the knife and took a seat at the roundtable. I took a seat next to her, "mom, I found a picture under the sofa of a girl. Can..."
"I have no idea what you are talking about, Itachi? A picture of a girl? How strange if I keep pictures of our family and that's it. Now, if you excuse your mother. I have to go cook some lunch." My mom stands up and went to cut the remains of the carrots.
I stand up and looked at my mother, 'she knows something and my dad.' I walked away. 'I will know and nothing is going to stop me from knowing.' I said in my thoughts.
...
I went to the library to look up that girl, "I had no idea, what I am looking for." I said to myself. I looked up old books and try to look up the history of the Uchiha clan and nothing comes up about who can be that girl. I lay back on the chair, "damn it."
...
Once at the house, I looked up and a picture was falling towards my way. I grab it and looked at it. It was her again, but this time in a blue dress. I turn back the picture and it says, 'look for me.'
I headed back to the library and asked where I could find this girl, but the lady took it and rip it as she throws it away. "Sorry, but the pictures aren't wanted here. So, I do ask you to leave and never come back here."
I got mad and walked away. "Who is she?" I said out loud to myself while people looked at me.
...
I was banned from the library and my parents heard about the news. They had a personal conversation with me, "son, where did you get that picture?" My father asked angrily.
"The sky..."
"No, that can't be..." My mom says troubled.
"Do you really want to learn about the girl?"
"Yes, I do. Who is she? Where did she come from and what's her name." I had to ask this question.
"We are forbidden to ever talk about her, no one is ever to say her name or summon her ever again, Itachi. If she sends a picture again just rip it up showing her you don't care anymore about her." The back of my mind wants to discover what happened to her. "Promise me, Itachi!" My dad raises his voice. I gave them my word which I will break soon.
...
The next month, I was sitting on the porch just thinking about life when a picture was falling from the sky. I got up and went to get it. I looked at it. She was wearing a black dress. I turn it around and it says, 'don't believe everyone. Help me.' I went to my room and place the picture inside of my favorite book as I place it back on the bookshelf.
"There has to be a logical reason why she is hated."
Sasuke enters my room. "Itachi, can you help me with the dinner? Mom doesn't feel good today."
...
After dinner, I went inside my room to look at the picture. "Who are you?" I asked. I looked behind it and the writing changed. "What's your name?" It says.
I looked everywhere besides the picture and then I looked again, it did change. I got out a pen and sat down on the chair as I place the picture on the desk to start writing. I hesitated before writing and I knew it had to be a good question. I finally came up with one as I wrote it down, 'who are you and why are you sending me your picture?'
My answer disappears and it changed back to her handwriting. 'I'm not who they tell you. I'm someone that is innocent. Well, anyone can tell you, I'm evil but I'm not.'
I wrote back, 'I'm Itachi Uchiha. I'm going to help you, but first, tell me why does, everyone is forbidden to talk about you?'
I hope you enjoy. :)
