Minna-san! I'm here with one of the weirdest fanfics I ever wrote XDDD. Well, I don't own Naruto or any of the songs I quote unless it's mentioned. Well let's leave it up to my main characters to give you a hint.
OC: Why is it that an OC can never reveal his/her name before the beginning of a fan fiction?
Kakashi: (smirks) Maybe you're too valuable to the author…
Avenger: Hatake Kakashi you better shut up! (Throws tuna fish at him and misses)
Sasuke: (sigh) Miss 'Avenger', there's no need for violence.
Itachi: Speak for yourself, ototo. You killed me in that original series. It's thanks to these people that I'm still alive.
Kakashi: (chuckles) well said, Itachi.
OC: Do I get any conversation here?
Sasuke: No you don't anata. (Smirks)
Avenger: You're not as important as Itachi, Kakashi and my OC…so scram before I use my Kekkei Genkai against you.
Sasuke: What kind of a Kekkei Genkai do you have? (Bites onto some sushi)
Avenger: The power to make you a criminal or a good guy in my story!
Sasuke: (bows down and totally forgot about his sushi) please don't! I won't bother you!
OC: Is this a fish-y fanfic?
Kakashi: No, it isn't…Amatera.
Avenger: You just revealed the OC's name, you idiot! (Throws a boulder at him)
OC: Let's just get on with the story. 'Till later…
Milady, the Queen of elegance
Chapter 1: Prologue
She ran faster than she ever did in her life. If he caught her, it would only mean there would be more beatings with that belt of his. She got out of that town and realized she was lost. But she could hear him gaining on her. She saw a fast flowing river nearby. The eight-year old girl thought it would be best if she was dead. After all, after her mother passed away…she had no one to love her like family. And he, her father was out of the question.
The girl knew she could not swim but at that moment, dying in the same way her mom did seemed more appealing than being dragged back home to be beaten up with that horrid belt all over again.
She took the jump. She fell into the freezing cold water. Losing her breath, she realized that it would be a looooooong time before death came to take her. She would have to stop breathing for quite a while. The pressure of the water seemed to help her ease the urge for breathing because no one could breathe in so much pressure anyways. Her vision was beginning to blacken and she closed her eyes, letting the piercing black darkness take over her.
Hatake Kakashi and Itachi Uchiha were hanging out with a bunch of friends. The latter, though being the former's junior by a full year, was still treated like an equal by the former's friends. Whether it was because of his own persona or because he was an Uchiha, Itachi did not know.
They stopped by the river. It was a few miles away from the city but it was worth the fuel. It was peaceful.
Itachi suddenly noticed a limp body flow by the river. It…was a girl!
He yelled, "Guys, look at that! We have to help her."
Itachi jumped in before anyone could say a word. Moments later, he came up, soaked to the skin, with the body of a little girl…probably no more than eight years old. The girl's body was covered in countless cuts and bruises and she…was barely breathing.
Kakashi instinctively got into his car and started it and motioned Itachi and the others to get in. The fifteen-year old Itachi was yelling, "Step on it. She's barely breathing."
Kakashi hit the accelerator as hard as he could and they sped into the city, driving at more than three times the speed limit.
As soon as they reached the hospital, Itachi took the girl and yelled, "We've got an emergency here!"
The doctors knew Itachi as an Uchiha and they gave their utmost attention towards the girl.
When the doctor came out he looked a little grim, "Itachi-sama, the girl has made it."
"How is she?"
"First, we found countless marks on her body and right now, she refuses to speak to anyone. She's only murmuring, 'He'll come and get me…he'll beat me.' And that too in my native tongue Japanese."
Kakashi spoke up, "Can we see her?" His friends had left before while they waited.
The doctor nodded, "Yes sir."
The girl was sitting up on the bed but she was hugging her knees. She looked up in fear at the people who stood before her. Itachi spoke in fluent Japanese, "We won't hurt you."
"Can you tell us your name?" Kakashi asked.
The girl looked at them and started trembling, and spoke in a whisper, "Don't send me away. He'll get me…he'll…he'll beat me up…"
Right after that, the guys heard a soft cry. The girl was still trembling and the monitor showed that her heart was going up and down.
Kakashi said, "We won't hurt you, little girl. Now can you tell us your name?"
His voice was convincing enough to get the girl to speak. She stuttered in Japanese, "M-My…name's…Amatera…"
The doctor said, "I'll leave you people to some time alone, sir." And left.
"Who did this to you?" Itachi asked.
"…" She hid her face in her knees and cried, "He'll kill me….he killed…he killed Nii-chan…"
Both the teens stopped dead on their tracks. They realized that there were lots of scars on her arms and legs. Kakashi said, "You're safe here. As long as we'll be here, no one can harm you."
"O-Oto-san…he's going to kill me…" She said. When she looked up, her hair uncovered her little face, tear-stained and…scarred. It was one single scar but that did it. It was an 'X' shaped scar on her left cheek and something told them that the cut wasn't made a very long time ago.
A nurse suddenly came in and said, "Sir, I hope I'm not interrupting but we finally found some test results. Somebody had probably forcefully….injected some drugs into her bloodstream. She hasn't eaten in days and I believe she's…not really mentally stable enough to talk to anyone."
Amatera looked at the nurse in fear. It was obvious that she didn't understand what the lady in the white coat was saying. She asked, "Are…are you going to send me away, nii-chan? Please don't…"
Kakashi replied to the blonde American, "Um…Miss Nurse, we'd like to talk to the girl alone and thank you for bringing us her medical reports."
The nurse nervously nodded, handed the file to Itachi and left.
"Well, sure as hell this girl is one of those people who were illegally brought into the States." Itachi spoke in English.
Kakashi hit him on the back of his head and spoke back, "Shut up! The girl doesn't understand English and this means she'll just freak out even more."
"Shut up, baka!" Itachi growled in Japanese.
A small, very small laughter was heard from the girl. But it didn't last.
"Uh…Amatera, where do you live?"
"In a town…Tanzaku town…it's near the river." She spoke in a small whisper. They realized that they were slowly but surely gaining the confidence of the girl.
Kakashi spoke to himself, "That would explain why she was there…"
"How did you end up in the river?"
"I…I tried to…kill myself…the way mama did…" She cried.
"Don't…you have any family other than your father and brother?" Itachi hesitantly asked as he knew he was stepping into dangerous ground.
There was silence.
"It's okay, if you don't want to tell us now." Kakashi tenderly smiled with his only visible eye. The girl looked up at the sixteen-year old and her eyes spoke of everything she'd been through. Pain, pain, sorrow and more pain…
The younger teen looked at the older one and asked, "I doubt she's strong enough to fight it out herself…we should take her to my father's place. Both mom and dad are doctors; they can take a look at her. If we leave the girl at the hospital…"
"You're right."
"Itachi, my boy…who is that girl?"
The girl looked up at the adults in fear when Kakashi knelt down and patted the girl's head, "Fugaku-san, this girl was found in a river. It was a miracle she survived. Now…we had the idea…to bring her here because she was very uncomfortable back at the hospital. The girl, of course, didn't understand a single word because it was all in English.
Mikoto knelt down and asked, "What is your name, my dear?"
The girl looked at Mikoto in confusion. Itachi sighed, "She can only speak Japanese, mother."
Mikoto translated the question. The girl replied, "A…Amatera."
They found out that the girl was eight years old and she was brought to America from Japan four years ago. Her mother died soon after coming to America but her father gave into alcohol. Her older brother, Suzuki…was murdered right before her eyes. She was beaten up every day until she managed to escape the town and her father. At last, seeing no other option left to her, she decided to kill herself but was unsuccessful.
This wasn't the work of a single day or week or month. It was the work of six whole months. The two boys also found out that she had a knack for school. The girl learnt the new language fairly quickly and she soon after that, she started school. That is, she was allowed to skip several grades and she began high school at the age of nine. She entered the Konoha High at the age of nine, at the same school as Itachi and Kakashi. Kakashi was a second-year and Itachi was a freshman, but that didn't stop them from staying with the girl at all times. It drew attention but people knew better than to get on the bad side of the Uchiha or the Hatake. The girl was often picked at, whether it was because the two hottest boys in school kept their attention towards her or whether it was because she was a kid.
It was arranged that Amatera would stay Kakashi, seeing to the fact that Kakashi was the more responsible of the two and also because he lived alone in his place, except for the occasional times when his sister would drop by.
Amatera would storm into the house and cry for hours on end in her room until Kakashi managed to calm her down. He'd calm her by singing her to sleep because there was no other way to stop her cries.
So that is the beginning of the story of Amatera Senju and how she had barged into the lives of Itachi Uchiha and Kakashi Hatake, both the first-borns and therefore heirs to their respective clans.
Kakashi: Is the author going to make me a lolicon?
Itachi: I have to ask the same question.
Avenger: (blushes) uh…yeah
OC: Why am I still labeled OC? My name's already been mentioned.
Kakashi: Because this is still the first chapter.
Sasuke: Hn.
Avenger: I haven't even introduced you in the story yet! Why did you turn up?
Itachi: My brother is insane…he could never think straight.
Avenger, OC: Well said.
Itachi: Wait, you never gave the readers a description of what we all look like here.
Avenger: It's in the next chapter (smirk)
Kakashi: anyways, please be a friend to us all and leave a review for this dying author here.
Avenger: Hey!
