Just a quick first chapter to put this story onto a role. I promise the next chapters will be much better than this one, since I wasn't too sure how to really write this chapter since it had so many things I am not sure about. All the characters belong to Masashi Kishimoto, but the story is mine, with help from the three bestest friends you could have. OTAKU!! Enjoy.
Cool rain fell from the heavens, drenching the people clad in black that crowded around the grave as the cofin was lowered down into the ground. Tears were shed and words of wisdom were spoken and soon the crowd around the grave started to disperse. Among those still standing around the grave, was Sasuke Uchiha and his brother Itachi, along with his parents, Fugaku and Mikoto. His grandfather, it was he who had died, had lived with Sasuke's family for as far as Sasuke could remember, as the old man had come to live with his family when he had been born.
"Let's go, Sasuke," Itachi called, already walking away.
"Hn," Sasuke replied as he too jogged away from the grave. He glanced over his shoulder to have one last quick look at the old man's grave. Standing next to it was a tall man in a black suit. At this strange sight, Sasuke stopped and turned. "Oy, Itachi," Sasuke said. His brother turned. "Who's that?" he asked, pointing at the man at the grave.
"Who knows," was Itachi's reply and Sasuke pouted at his lack of enthusiasm. Itachi turned again and started to walk back. Sasuke stuck his tongue out at the back of his retreating brother. Somehow, after the death, he was feeling more rebellious than usual. He again turned to face the strange and walked up to him.
"Who the hell are you?" At this question of questionable politeness, the man turned and Sasuke saw he wore glasses. He doesn't look remotely sad. C'mon, it's a freaking funeral, thought Sasuke. The man reached into the inside of his black suit jacket and withdrew two things. One was a business card.
"Here," he man said, holding out the card. Sasuke took it and read it. Kabuto Mizaki, Probate Lawyer. He turned the card over, but there was nothing on the back.
"You're a lawyer? What are you here for?" At this question Mr. Mizaki handed Sasuke the second thing he had taken out of his jacket. This one was a letter.
"I'm the lawyer that was set in charge of your grandfather's will," Mr. Mizaki said, boredom showing in his voice.
A bit put off by the man's attitude, Sasuke didn't reply and chose to rip open the envelope. A folded sheet of paper fell into his hands. Taking it up with spindly fingers, Sasuke quickly opened the paper so that it was lying flat.
"You should probably read that in front of your family." Sasuke scowled, but remembering that he should honor of the dead he promptly turned and walked to where he knew his family would be. He turned to see the man was walking in step with him. Annoying person. Sasuke increased his speed and said nothing when he found the other man had easily caught up.
"You're Sasuke, right? He was your grandfather," the man finally said.
"Hn."
"You're not very talkative are you?"
Sasuke chose not to answer this and instead glared at the lawyer.
"Why are you still here?" Sasuke asked. The man raised an eyebrow.
"I have to witness to the will."
Interesting, Sasuke thought to himself. Finally he saw his brother's back and he ran to see him.
"Oy, Itachi!" he said once he came into earshot. His brother turned. "Where are mum and dad?" Itachi pointed to the car.
"Why?" Sasuke raised the letter and will, waving it a little.
"I got the old man's will."
Soon, the three of them, one lawyer and two teenagers, made it to a low class black car. Kabuto Mizaki introduced himself to Sasuke's parents, earning looks of surprise over both their faces. They hadn't expected the old man's will to have been found so soon. He had always been the eccentric sort so they had assumed it would take at least a few years to even find the will.
Fugaku opened the letter and quickly read it, his wife reading it over his shoulder as did Itachi. Annoyed that he was the only one too short, Sasuke reached up and pulled the piece of paper down to get the attention of his father.
"What's it say?" He asked, unable to read the messy scrawl even when he was now able to see it.
"Sasuke," his father said, finally raising his eyes from the paper, "your grandfather had a fairly nice fortune in his possession and it says here that when he died, he would give it all to our family." Sasuke's mouth formed a little 'o'.
"Is that it?"
"Well, no," Itachi said, to Sasuke's annoyance, "It says here that in order for our family to inherit even a cent from him, one of his grandsons, you or me, would have to go to Konoha Gakuen for a year."
Huh? Sasuke thought. That's pretty simple.
"I'll do it," Sasuke said easily. He hated his current school and had been longing to change for a long time. His whole family looked up at him as he said this. "What?"
Mikoto, Sasuke's mother, tried to suppress a laugh and his father looked shocked. Itachi just looked relieved he wouldn't have to go to any 'Konoha Gakuen'.
"What?" Sasuke asked again as Mr. Mizaki stepped forward.
"Do you agree to do this?" he asked the dark-haired teen. Sasuke nodded. Mr. Mizaki took a note book out of his pocket and wrote down something on it and started to walk away. "Oh yes. Sasuke, in order for you to properly carry out your grandfather's will, you will have to go to Konoha Gakuen under the guise of a female student."
"WHAT!?"
And Sasuke's world came crashing down around him.
How was that? I had this idea one sleepy night after reading far too many fan fics here. Lol. I hope that chapter was alright. The next will be better, I promise. Cheers!
