Nyoko Namikaze Point of View
I sat along with window shield, where I lived. In the small room, that was my home, my bed in middle of the room pressed up against the wall, under the Konohagakure's symbol. Along with it were two unrolled red scrolls. My room was clean, for the most part, with books and dishes on my desk, and the inside of my wardrobe was a bit messy. My little bathroom was neat, always neat and tidy.
Holding my pink blanket, that was the only thing I had left of my parents, whoever they were. They either died, or they left me. Why? I stared out the window, silent as I watched the other kids my age play, younger and older. With smiles on their faces, their parents, their family watching them. I've learned not to go when others were there.
They hated me, their parents would pull them all away whenever I would try to play with them. I watched as the familiar old man, walking towards the building where I lived. But I looked to the kids again, ignoring the opening of the door as Sarutobi walked inside. He was the only one that came and visited me, the only one that showed me any kind of concern for me. Even if it was only once a month, when he gave me my allowance. At least he would stay and talk to me. Even if I didn't respond to him.
"Nyoko, what is wrong girl?" He asked, I heard him walking closer to me, around my bed, I heard him sit on my bed.
"Why?" I whispered, trying not to cry, I couldn't do that, I was going to become a ninja, I couldn't cry. I needed to hold it all back. Let the sadness weigh on me. Treated like nothing, an orphan, did I have a family out there? The only amount of kindness I got was once a month from this old man.
"Hmm?" The Third asked, I finally turned to look at him, I could feel my tears dripping.
"Why did they stay with me?" I whispered, staggering over to the bed, holding my blanket still, "Why don't I have parents? Why did they leave me alone?" He tensed up next to me, putting an arm around me he pulled me into a hug, allowing me to cry into his Hokage robe.
"Nyoko, it wasn't their fault. Don't worry about such things, it's in the past." He tried to sooth, rubbing my arm trying to calm me. So, was it my fault?
"You're wrong, this is every day, being reminded I'm alone, an orphan is everyday, it is current as I breathe." I cried.
"My child, tell me what are the rules of a Shinobi?" The old man asked, the same question he'd ask me whenever I were to cry.
"A Shinobi must never show their emotions; Shinobi are emotionless" I whimpered, pulling myself away from the man, wiping my face, ridding it of tears. Rubbing the emotion from myself.
I heard him standing up, dropping what I assumed to be money onto my desk, "Spend it wisely." Then he was gone.
Nyoko Namikaze Point of View
I walked around the food market, with my clear plastic bag, filling it with things I could eat, that I could cook with a microwave. It was a struggle, to grab some of the food that were higher on the higher shelves. Of course no one came to help me. I was just the small red headed girl no one knew or cared about. They all just ended up looking at me, with disgust. Walking by whispering something I bet they wouldn't say if I weren't an wouldn't treat me like this when I became a Shinobi, they would beg for me to help them all. Unlike them, I didn't need any of them. Filling my bag up, walking towards the counter, to pay for the food, up till I fell. smashing forward, causing someone else to fall over me. Sitting up I looked at my bag, everything I had placed in my back, splattered all on the floor. "Hey, watch it!" I turned to the boy, he had dark eyes, and dark blue hair. I glared at him, but ignored him to gather up the food I was going to buy."Sasuke, apologize to the girl." I looked to see another boy, who had longer hair tied into a pony tail.
"What? Why should I she's the one that tripped me" the boy Sasuke whined.
I turned my head to look at him, glaring as I got up from the ground with my bag of slightly damaged goods. Everything but my Raspberries, they had landed farther away, next to the boys brother.
Before I could pick them up, he did it instead, picking the container, getting on one knee, getting on my short level, he held the container out. I glanced at him and the container.
"I apologize for my brother, tripping over you" he spoke in a smooth sincere voice, I backed away, not trusting him. This was a trick, to hurt me, it had to be. As I put more pressure on on foot, I winced, but shook my head at him, hinting I didn't want the raspberries, I'd rather not take them and ensure no more humiliation.
He looked at me with concern, "let me help you" he got up, taking a step towards me, causing me only to back up, his brother was now looking at me with a strange look, "Your parents must've told you not to talk to strangers, but I won't hurt you, I only want to help you, you're limping, must've hurt yourself when you fell.
He held out his free hand, the one without the raspberries. On instinct I dropped the bag of unbought foot, twisted a hundred and eighty degrees and bolted, leaving the food market. Leaving the food I was going to buy. There was no way I was going to let him taunt me. Besides I needed to train.
Itachi Uchiha Point of View
I watched in shock as the six year old with an obviously injured ankle was gone, using the body flicker technique, it was like the girl teleported, the puff of smoke she left behind couldn't hide what I saw, her running out. I doubt anyone else had noticed she had ran away.
"Where did she go?" My younger brother asked, in awe, "She's gone!" I smiled down at him, as I picked up the young girls bag of food, placing the fruit I tried to hand back to her, into the bag.
"Come we're going to find her and bring her, her food" I advised, paying for the girls food along with the food I was buying for mother, "And you're going to apologize for being rude to her"
"What? Why?" Sasuke demanded, following me out of the food shop, "We don't even know where she went, she just teleported away!"
Placing a hand on his head, I lead him out of the shopping district, I had an idea where the girl was at. At her home, on the this side of the village. Her home was known to the Anbu teams, as were the other known jinchuuriki of the village.
"Who was that anyways? We don't know her." Sasuke objected, annoyed that I was making him come along.
I was right, the girl did go home, as Sasuke and I passed the park that was just outside her home, I spotted her sitting by her window, looking down at the children playing, what i didn't expect was for her to spot us, once she did she was no longer at her window.
At her door, I could feel her chakra through the door, she was in there, just ignoring us knocking at her door. She mustn't trust many people.
"We won't hurt you, just brought you your food" I stated, no response.
"She's not here Itachi" My brother stated, "Besides we have to go home, mother will be expecting us for supper"
"She's here" I whispered lightly, with a sigh, I proceeded to try a different approach, "Nyoko, please step outside" I went on to try an assure her, "We're not going to treat you the way others have."
A few moments later, I could hear the pitter patter of feet, shortly after the door opened, slightly showing the deep red hair of the young orphan, and her purple eyes. I gave her a soft smile, getting on one knee, to seem less scary, by being her height, I held her bag of food.
"How did you know my name?" She questioned, looking from her bag to me.
I smiled softly at her, "Nyoko Namikaze, you're six years of age, from what I've been told - and I've seen - you can use the body flicker technique" She narrowed her eyes slightly, "You must be a very quick girl, to get it, who taught you, hm?"
She just narrowed her eyes at me, opening her door more, showing more of her home, the one room. Clean and tidy, most likely apart of what she got paid for. Keeping herself clean, healthy and staying out of trouble. On her desk there were books and scrolls.
"I taught myself" She muttered, "I don't need anyone to teach me how to become a Shinobi"
"You're going to become a Shinobi?" Sasuke asked, stepping forward to the girl, in excitement, "And you're already learning jutsu, me too!" He said excited, to meet someone that was like him, knowledgeable and already able to preform a type of jutsu. Like he could preform the fireball jutsu.
She seemed so shocked by Sasuke's excitement, him not being scared of her. It had to be different for her, even more so that Sasuke was her age, and not running away in fear. She gave Sasuke a nod.
"You should train with me and Itachi!" Sasuke suggested, looking back up at me, "Is that alright?"
I nodded at him, glad he was being friendly with someone his age, "That's if she would like to" I looked to Nyoko, her eyes big, a confused look on her face, as I stood up, "Nyoko, would you care to train with us, in the future?"
She didn't seem to know what to say, but she nodded eventually.
Sarutobi Hiruzen's Point of View
Walking into her new apartment, she was moved closer to the Uchiha compound, as requested by Itachi Uchiha and Nyoko herself. No matter the objections from the elders, I approved her moving, closer, to the side of the village where her brother lived. It was worth it from what I've gathered, and been told she has made a friend, with both Itachi and his younger brother, for the year they met the girl. It was good, I only wished that Naruto had the same friendship with someone as well. I wish I would've put them together, allowing them to grow with each other, the perfect clones of their parents. Just swapped personalities.
I sighed in the memory. When we separated the twins. I thought - suggested - I pressed that they should be with each other. It would've been been better then allowing them be alone for nearly seven years alone, in having an empty space in their hearts. At least together they could've comforted each other.
Dazno argued against it and won. He - and the rest of the elders - thought that it was wise to keep the two apart, that having the children together would make them - the beast they shared -together. Dazno suggested we use the children as weapons, when the time came, giving them a life to live as our weapons. Homura and Koharu agreed. Making it offical that the children didn't know they were family. Giving them two different last names. Naruto, after their mother, Nyoko after their father.
Time had passed, and the law, no one would tell them about their ties to each other - nor would they tell them about the nine tailed beast they shared within them.
Itachi, who requested it, for the sake of his brother. When he fulfilled his mission, by the end of the year, when his brother is enrolled in the academy. Itachi requested that I to let Nyoko stay in the class, and not immediately allow her to become a Chūnin, he wanted her to be there for Sasuke, when the younger Uchiha would need a friend the most. I promised I'd do it, it's the least the village could do.
Nyoko still had a small apartment, one room, it looked similar to her former home, but she now had displaced some weapons she had bought, just some katanas, by her window, she also had pictures of herself, with Sasuke, Itachi and the fun times she's had with them.
She also had now a balcony, with an outdoor set that sat four people, with a canopy that shaded the furniture from the elements. The railing around the balcony she had lanterns on every other post. She also had a potted apple tree, and a hanging basket, with strawberries she grew from it, and a planter with various veggies in it.
Walking onto the balcony sitting on one of the chairs looking out over the village.
"Nyoko" I greeted her, as I walked closer her, I see scrolls and books, each with her taking notes in them.
"Lord Third" she greeted in turn, looking to me, her face dull seeing me.
I motioned for her to follow me. Not objecting, she followed as I lead her out of her home. Down to the streets, to the academy, the large academy, compromised of several buildings. We stood out the one with the tree which had a swing on it and more so identified by the giant sign with the kanji for fire on it.
Looking down at her I questioned her, "You know what this is, Nyoko?"
She nodded, of course she knew where we were, "The Ninja Academy, this building is where we're taught the rules of a Shinobi, and put through exercises, where we show ourselves as prospective students, being taught the core curriculum, and how to strengthen our bodies and mind. As well as handling weapons, basic trap-setting and about chakra and how to use it . We also graduate in this building, to become official ninja." She looked up at me, to the Administrative Division, that was next to the school, where the Hokage's office was located, "In that building, we receive our assignments from you."
"What are the requirements for admission to the academy?" I asked her, of course she knew.
She didn't hesitate, "Love the village and hope to help preserve peace and prosperity. Have a mind that will not yield, able to endure hard training and work. Be healthy in the mind and body."
I nodded, looking down at her, "Do you love the village, would you endure hard training, to preserve peace and prosperity?" I asked her casually.
She nodded, looking up at my once more, "Yes, with a healthy mind and body." I doubt she knew entirely what she was saying yes to, she was to young now, just wanting to become a Shinobi.
I smiled, "Good, because you've been enrolled, you'll start the end of this week."
Her eyes lit up with life, excitement, "Really?" She was trying not to bounce where she stood.
Nyoko Namikaze Point of View
Panting, I dropped to my butt, Sasuke sitting on his as well, panting himself, breathing heavily himself, glaring at me as I glared at him we were practicing our Taijutsu mostly. It was clear we were both fast - I was faster of course. We were classmates - rivals, peers and equals - he was better than most of the other students. Nearly all of the girls would fond over him. Causing me getting called names, just because Sasuke and I were friends, at least I like to think so.
"Again?" I asked him, getting back up, already feeling my chakra flowing through me, re-energizing me fully. No longer panting.
He smiled, getting back up, "Yea, lets go"
We faced each other off, in the training ground that we were using, he rushed me, dipping and weacing to the right, a kunai in his hand, slashing it downwards, I blocked it with my own, causing sparkes to fly when the small blades clashed, and the scrapping of the metal. I then with my other hand, with another kunai in it, whipping it, towards him, into an uppercut of a slash. He was quick enough to reach, taking a side step, just enough so his cheek wouldn't be cut, but the blade had passed a few of strands of hair.
Before he could react, I swiftly punched him with my other hand, hitting him with my knuckles, not the kunai, my land hit his chest just right, I could hear his breath being knocked out of him, following up with it side kicked him. He jumped out of the way, when he landed in front of me he gave me an uppercut, landing a fist to my chin.
He then swung his free hand at me, I ducked under it. It goes on like that for awhile, being close, breathing heavily, trying to throw the other backwards, while holding the other back at the same time. Blocking each others blows, while trying to hurt each other.
Finally, I flipped backwards, I went through with flipping backwards. Then quickly - as usual - I bolted forward, maneuvering myself to run at him, he was running at me. Within instinct I dropped to my knee, sliding under him, grabbing his ankle as he went over me, causing him to loose his footing, getting back on my feet, letting him go. I then lunged forward at him, sending him to the ground, on his belly, while I sat on his back.
"Hey!" He panted loudly, in annoyance.
I smiled, getting off him, I then laid down on my back next to him, him rolling onto his back, "It's safe to say we're even, Sasu"
"Yea, I think so." He retorted, looking up to the setting sun, "lets practice aiming"
We then did that, throwing kunai and shuriken at a target, trying to do what his brother had done, where he had his eyes closed and flipped in the air throwing, hitting so many targets, perfectly. We could't replicate his brother what-so-ever.
"Oh no! I have to go home, I'm going to be late!" Sasuke stated, once we paused to notice it had gotten dark. At this moment we both started moving quicker than we had before. "Want to come over for dinner?"
I shook my head, "Next time I will" It wasn't true, I never go over for dinner, I knew how his clan looked at me. His mother - Mikoto - looked at me with fear and sadness, I didn't understand why. I couldn't stand it being in the Uchiha compound, I'm sure most of them didn't like me as it was. They looked at me, as a monster, "I'll walk you to your clans gate, yea?" I suggested.
Once we have picked up our tools and completed homework, stuffing it all into our book bags, we ran down the street, we weren't going to beat the setting sky that was starting to turn dark quickly. Reaching the gates of the Uchiha clan's compound, something was wrong. The lights that usually would be on at this time weren't on.
"Sasuke" I whispered, grabbing his arm, stopping him from running straight into the compound, pulling him to a stop. Something deep in me, told me it wasn't safe something was wrong. The full moon shining down on us both.
He seemed to catch on to my tone, but he ran in, I followed behind him, as we ran. Only to run faster, when we saw shuriken and kunai in the buildings, there was an obvious fight, from the looks of it, the Uchiha's had came to the stop, the sight of his aunt and uncle laying on the ground, dead.
"Oh no, Father... Mother...!" Sasuke then bolted, I followed close behind him, drawing a kunai into my hand. Stand outside his home it was quiet. As we walked I wanted so much, just to go find the Hokage or other ninja! But looking at Sasuke, I knew he wasn't going to go back, and I couldn't leave him here, to get hurt.
Reaching the door to what was his parents room, I felt my heart pumping, I could hear mine and Sasuke's beating at once. While he was sweating I felt something deep in me growling, like I was hungry, but I wasn't. Finally, we both pushed open the doors walking inside the dark room, to see the horror. The first thing I saw was Sasukes parents on the floor dead, with the moonlight shining on them, and above them, in the glistening moonlight was Itachi.
Sasuke at first didn't understand what had happened, not realizing it was his brother, whom killed their parents - killed their clan - I stood there in horror, not able to speak and correct Sasuke, I was just stunned, where I stood. Why? Why did he do this?
Itachi had thrown a shuriken at his brother, cutting his shirt and shoulder. I stared at him, probably looking like a deer, as I stared at his blood red eyes - his dōjutsu kekkei genkai, the sharingan, I've only seen pictures in scrolls, never have I seen it being used, at least not on me.
"Itachi" I managed to whimper his name.
"What have you done, brother?" Sasuke whimpered, tears dripping from his face.
Itachi just stared at us - mostly Sasuke - "Foolish little brother. I almost pity you." He then shut his eyes, the next thing he then reopened them his eyes. My heart stopped as the name left Itachi's lips, "Mangekyo Sharingan" Sasuke was caught in it. He started to scream.
I ran forward at Itachi, I needed to make him not look at Sasuke, I was at a disadvantage, him being older, more advance and way more skilled than I - he graduated the academy at our age - I could only hope, I could pester him enough to stop looking at Sasuke.
Doing the signs for the Shadow Clones, I made just one, but hoped it was enough, just to get him to look away from his brother. He tried to flawlessly use his katana to hit one - or both myself and the clone, thankfully, I was fast and able to use the body flicker technique, to teleport myself - and my clone - out of his way. He looked away from his brother, to look at me, and swing his katana, hitting my clone, making it poof away. That was all I needed. I just needed him to focus on me, not Sasuke. It still shocked me as he grabbed me, his hand around my neck lifting me off the ground. Squeezing my throat lightly.
"Sasuke - get - he - help now!" I cried out, as my neck was being squeezed, tighter and tighter. I noticed his eyes were back to their onyx color. I could feel, someone else was around close by, watching, but I didn't focus on them, I focused on trying to get Itachi to let me go.
"Why?" Sasuke, whispered, "Why are you doing this? Itachi, why?"
"To test the limits of my ability." Itachi stated, no emotion in his voice, I felt something deep within me steering, I didn't know what it was.
"To test your ability?" Sasuke asked confused, "That's why you did this?"
No answer. I gasped for air.
"You're telling me that, that was your reason that you" Sasuke paused struggling to come up with the word, "butchered every single member of out clan."
I watched as Itachi's eyes shut, as he spoke, "It is of great importance," it was weird, like he was accepting that as the reason he has done this. I even pasued my struggle to get free, realizing his grip around my neck had loosen.
Sasuke started to get up, "What are you saying?" He then got up yelling as he charged at his brother.
"Sasuke no!" breathed, as the grip around my neck tightened
"You're out of your mind!" Sasuke screamed.
He was silenced as Itachi punched him in the gut, and slammed me to the ground next to where Sasuke fell to the ground, it was all so quick. My back slamming into the hard wooden floor, just as Sasuke dropped. I could hear him crying, I wanted to act, but my neck it was hurt, I was having to hard of a time breathing. As I sat up on my knees, back to Itachi, instinctively holding my neck trying to breathe, I bearly could it was like his hand was still squeezing my neck. I turned around, hearing Itachi take a step, and Sasuke gasp. I was scared, he was scared. We needed help.
"I'm scared" Sasuke whimpered, getting up. Repeating himself as he got up, and ran to the door, I looked up at Itachi, stunned, still struggling to breathe.
"Run" he ordered, he didn't need to tell me twice, I got up quickly, running out of what was their home, I couldn't stop the tears that were running down the cheeks, what made Itachi become this - a monster, a murder.
"Don't kill me!" I heard Sasuke scream. I picked up my pace, crying, creating a shadow clone once more.
"Go get help!" I ordered my clone, who was crying as well, "Hurry!" I screamed at her, then she bolted, using the body flicker technique, while I did the same, to catch up with Sasuke. However, when I thought I had found him, I found instead a man, with spiky long hair, with a mask, that was orange with black stripes coming from the right side of his mask, and a small hole where his left eye was.
I took a step back, as he stepped forward, chuckling, "You weren't meant to be here Namikaze"
"Who are you?" I questioned, kunai out and at the ready, I've never seen him before, how did he know my last name.
He just chuckled darkly, holding up a katana, "I'd love to kill you here. Just in spite of your father" He growled, "My sensei"
I felt my eyes widen, he knows who my father? He was his sensei? "You know my father"
He chuckled darkly, "Of course" He pointed his katana to the mountain overlooking Konohagakure that has all the faces of the Hokage carved into the stone, "The Fourth Hokage" I looked in awe, he was my father? The Fourth Hokage, The ninja that stopped the ninetailed fox from destroying the village, I was his daughter! "He tried to kill me the day he died, and sealed the beast that terrorized this village into you."
I turned back to look at the man, with shock, what? I shook my head, "No, you're lying!"
He chuckled darkly at my expression, "The beast is the only reason I'm not killing you little girl"
The next thing I saw was red. The world became inverted, the sky was blood red. I couldn't move, looking around I realized I was cuffed high on a cross, I couldn't move, I couldn't feel my chakra. The mask man stood in front of me, with a sword. Then he stabbed me. I screamed in pain, then there was another masked man, a clone of the first? They both stabbed me, it went on, cloning, stabbing and screaming. I wanted it to stop, begging for him to stop it.
"Just stop it, please" I whimpered, after the hundredth stabbing, of all of the masked men. Blinking, I reopened I was on the ground, laying on my side beaten, I felt like I was covered in cuts, but I couldn't see any on me.
"I found her!" I heard a voice yell, I was picked up, I felt cold, I started to cry, into the mans chest, " Oh, Nyoko, what happened?" The man I didn't know, he had silver hair and his face was basically covered up, I couldn't answer, I couldn't stop crying .He then carried me, "You're alright, sh, sh it's alright." He tried to soothed as he carried me away from the Uchiha compound."You're safe, you and Sasuke are safe now" I could barely think, I was just crying, why couldn't I stop. He kept talking trying to sooth me.
"Kakashi, you found her, what happened?" A womans voice demanded in worry, looking at me she.
"He - he - they stabbed me" I cried, trying to calm down, crying wasn't going to get me help me.
The woman walked up to the man and I looking closely at me, "was the man in black and white?"
I nodded, crying harder as I recalled to it all, "Everything was black and white, but the sky - it was red like - like blood. He poked me with the sword, then there were more and more - and more - "
"It's alright, you don't need to sat anymore" She then walked, the man holding me that I knew to be Kakashi followed, "Nyoko, you're a very brave and strong girl, I'm going to let you sleep in this room, a woman will be here soon, to help you feel better alright?"
I didn't answer, I just nodded crying, where was Sasuke? Was he alright? I hope he didn't end up in the Genjutsu I was in, I hoped Itachi wasn't as mean as the masked man. I was laid in a bed, a white one, that had three other beds in it.
"I'll stay right here till the doctor is here, alright, Nyoko?" The man Kakashi whispered, pulling a chair up next to my bed, as he stroked my hair, "My name is Kakashi Hatake" He introduced himself, trying to make me feel better.
I sniffled, "I'm Nyoko Namikaze" I looked at him, seeing his kind worried eyes, "Is it true?" I asked him, "My father was the Fourth Hokage?" I asked, wanting to know.
"Who told you that?" Kakashi asked, seemingly caught off guard by the question.
I whimpered, "so it's true?"
The door opened, and a woman with brown eyes walked in, "Get out, I have work to do" She barked at Kakashi.
Kakashi, was at the door when he turned to me and nodded, answering my question, then left. So, the masked man didn't lie about my father... Did that mean everything else he said was true?
"Alright Nyoko" The woman spoke softly, pulling a chair up closer, "My name Is Tsunade, I've been told you were put under the Genjutsu, known as Tsukuyomi"
"Tsukuyomi?" I questioned her sitting up as I rubbed my face, but my tears were still coming.
She nodded, "It's part of the Sharingan" She informed me, "Lay down this will be over very quickly" she whispered, I did as I was told letting her do her job.
Tsunade's Point of View
How she wasn't dead was a shock. Then again she had the blood line of an Uzumaki, there was also the fox in her, the combination of the two would have been what saved her psyche. When I was done she was already asleep. Walking out and to the Third who sat with Kakashi, my apprentice, Shizune, and other ninja.
"She'll be fine. I assume she would've been all right without me, the Uzumaki healing abilities are strong with her, I assume the fox had a hand in the healing as well" I informed them, once I joined the group, "How is the Uchiha boy?"
"He's asleep" Shizune shared, "But I don't know how he'll be in the morning. His clan..." She drifted off in sadness.
"It is terrible." Hiruzen stated, "Hopefully, both he and Nyoko, will overcome this"
"Was her seal broken?" Kakashi questioned, looking at me, "She knows whom her father is, Itachi may have broken it."
I shook my head, "No, its sealed still, but I think the chakra of the fox is seeping out, in small amounts" I answered him/
"It was bound to happen, her finding out about Minato, and the fox to grow stronger, as she has." He took a puff of her pipe, "I'll speak to her about her father in the morning"
We all stopped talking when a door opened to one of the rooms of the kids. We all looked to see the red head, poking her head out.
"Where is Sasu?" She mumbled, walking up to us. I smiled softly, she was able to walk, she wasn't crying anymore. She was healing quickly. Good.
"Nyoko, go back to sleep my dear" Sensei ordered, softly.
She shook her head, "No" She explained herself, "I don't think he should be alone right now. I want to be there when he wakes up, to hug him and make him feel a little happier."
I spoke up before anyone could object to her, "I'll take you to his room all right" She nodded grateful. I lead her, down the hall. "How are you feeling Nyoko?"
Walking next to me, she didn't look up, "I feel okay" I could tell she was leaving something out, but I didn't want to press on, not wanting to push her, she had a hard enough night, "Is Sasuke, hurt? Itachi didn't..." She drifted off, not knowing what to ask.
"He's okay, he has a cut on his shoulder, but you being there for her will make it easier for him to come to terms with what has happened." I informed her, "He wasn't put in the Tsukuyomi, like you were" I could hear her release a breathe of relief. We then reached his room, opening it, Sasuke was in his bed, asleep, from what I could tell.
The small tomato head walked in quickly, at first she looked at Sasuke, expecting him, as if making sure he was all right. When she was satisfied with him, him being fast asleep with a soft snore. She then crawled into the bed on the same side as Sasuke's bed.
She looked up at me, "Good night" She looked at Sasuke once more, then laid down, facing Sasuke, watching him. I then left, closing the door slightly, allowing some light from the hallway to go into the dark room.
