Once upon a different time.., there lived a girl by the name of Arisu Lapis who subsisted in a village hidden by leaves. She was an average girl with average looks for eighteen years young, but her existence consisted of many traumatic affairs and hopeless actions breaking her spirit little by little as she grew up.

Her father died in the world war fight against a nine tailed fox demon, her being only five years and a few months old at the time. However, it not only affected her. Her widowed and sickly mother also suffered from the hardship of losing her beloved husband. Ever since his death she had become very sick and fragile. So the young girl cared for her mother when she was much too frail to do heavy work.

At the time when one needs one's best friend the most was when the young girl lost her closest companion. Considering the fact that their clans have been allies for generations how can they not become acquaintances? The boy and the girl had been best friends since she was born she would always fallow him and his friends wherever they went, annoying most of them, but not him.

She had a hidden admiration for him; though she hid it poorly He found it very endearing. Yes, that was a strong friendship... So strong was their friendship that they had made gifts for each other one day, on the same day and they didn't even know they had a hidden surprise for each other. {Friends} {Forever}

.., but if that was so...then why; the very next day, why did he kill his whole clan leaving only his younger brother in hurt and pain and sorrow. Why did he kill his family, friends, and disappear without a trace...why didn't he say...a single word...to me?

I never forgot that day.., neither did Sasuke of course. I never got my answer of why he did that to me, because I never did see him again.

Although, what he did was wrong beyond reason and...My clan no longer considers him an ally and tries to track him down endlessly to avenge the Uchiha clan. I can't help, but still hold a special place in my heart for him.

Although, He left his only brother in a world of never ending pain and myself in a state of never ending sorrow and never said goodbye and he never thought of anyone, but himself, I can't...help, but feel a strong feeling...whenever...I think of him. My beloved friend Itachi Uchiha...but...

When the time comes, when we meet again, I vowed along with my clan and Sasuke that he would never get away with your life.
