Chapter One: Forbidden Love
A young seven year-old, blue tinted black haired and onyx eyed, girl laid on her bed as she sighed. She had long bangs that framed her face at the sides and her hair reached up to the middle of her back. She sighed. Only one thought occupied her mind – she knew it shouldn't – but it did.
Ever since she could remember, Sachiko Uchiha had always admired her elder brother. He was like sun of her world, understanding her, giving her hope – especially when her parents didn't even notice her. Itachi would always help her with just about everything, he would calm her when she had bad dreams (not nightmares, she had told herself, Uchiha's never had nightmares, after all) and he would help heal her when she got hurt. She loved her brother more than anyone or thing – not that she'd tell him. She wasn't stupid, she knew, she knew well that her feelings were forbidden. But she couldn't help but try to suppress her feelings for him – it wasn't right – besides, Itachi didn't love her in that way, nope, just as his little sister; nothing less, yet nothing more. She sighed.
"Nii-san…" She stretched her arms out on the bed, her legs spread slightly. "…nii-san is…so cool…" She closed her eyes.
Knock, knock!
Sachiko opened her eyes abruptly, sitting up. "…come in!" She crossed her legs together.
The door opened to reveal her brother, Itachi Uchiha. He stepped into Sachiko's room with a smile plastered on his face. "Chi-chan, you know what it is today?" Her brother asked happily.
She looked at him confusedly. "Uh…Thursday?"
"Nope," He chuckled at his sister's ignorance. "Today's the day I take you to the festival, remember?"
"Festival?" She asked, raising her eyebrow in exasperation. "…you're actually going to take me to the festival? Who are you, and what have you done to my nii-san!" Itachi chuckled.
"Come on, Sachiko, time to go, get ready in half an hour, alright?"
"…yeah, yeah…" Itachi chuckled at his sister's – unknown/reluctant – cuteness. At times like these, how he loved her being his sister.
"Come on, quickly." He said, going out through the door.
Sachiko sighed. "He never notices… and he's supposed to be a genius, too…" She scoffed. In the shinobi world, he's a genius, but when it comes to love life, he's anything but!
In twenty minutes, Sachiko had tied her hair in a festive style and wore clips that had four five-petal flowers – that were made of emeralds, sapphires, white opals and amethysts – in her hair, put on her midnight blue background-coloured kimono; which had the Uchiha clan symbol on the back in the centre of the tomoeri (collar), the obi (sash) was a pine-green background with auburn-brown six pointed stars, while from the obi down it was covered by her hair and had wisps of black, purple and orange flames. She hid a few senbon within her kimono, just as a safety measure. "I think I'm done." She said, smiling happily with her work.
Walking out of her room, she made sure to set traps so that no one could enter it unless it was her (or her brother). Walking down the hall, she saw her elder brother in a black background-coloured haori with amber flames from his waist down, with the top half having three stars at the front and back which were enveloped within amethyst coloured flames and it had the Uchiha clan symbol on the tomoeri, at the centre back. He wore a black hakama with it.
"Nii-san, I'm done!" Itachi nodded, holding onto her hand, though she did protest a little, but soon gave up and settled with holding his hand. He smiled at his little sister's childishness.
"Okaa-sama, otou-sama, I'm going out with Sachiko." He said as they left, hand in hand.
Mikoto Uchiha and Fugaku Uchiha watched as their children left, until they were out of sight.
"Fugaku," Mikoto said, looking at her husband concernedly. "I have a feeling about Itachi…and it isn't a good one." Fugaku nodded.
"Yes, he seems to have… an attachment to Sachiko."
"Although the elders support it, is it really alright?" She asked unsure if she actually wanted the answer.
"…We have no idea if his feelings are or are not just shallow, after all," He said, pausing. "However, we have to keep an eye on him; things are going to be hectic by the time tomorrow comes."
"Yes, I have that same feeling." Mikoto said, sighing. "The next problem is whether or not the feelings are mutual."
"…Sachiko is very good at hiding her feelings, but in a way, that makes her unpredictable, so we can't tell, either."
"Will this affect the operations?"
"It shouldn't," Fugaku said, closing his eyes in frustration. "Itachi, however, is too loyal to the village, to him, Sachiko goes first, Konoha second and his clan is third."
"If only he sees us as first, that way he'd protect his sister in the process, too."
"I couldn't agree more." He said, opening his eyes.

Sachiko walked – half skipped – through the crowded streets of Konoha.
Today was the annual festival of the official founding of Konoha, which was held throughout three days, today being the second day of the in going festival. Three weeks prior to this event was known as the Ha no Omachi ki (葉のお待ち期 – Leaf's Waiting Period), which lasted for two weeks, which was the time of preparation and waiting as Konoha was formed, with the gathering and accumulation of many clans' which would form alliances to form Konoha.
Sachiko tried out just about every game stall she could, laughing and being – practically – carefree. She dragged Itachi to a park where many people would sit to enjoy late meals, company and the fireworks. She smiled freely at the beautiful display of the fireworks. Itachi let a small smile slip from his mask but it was soon replaced with a frown. He turned, just in time to see an Uchiha dashing around the festival grounds, before disappearing from sight. Itachi heightened his senses, looking at his sister's happy form. He acted instinctively as a kunai was aimed at her feet – not so that it'd hurt her but stun her – as he held his sister, bridal style, and ran. Sachiko was too shocked – and scared – to move, and didn't protest, holding onto Itachi firmly.
He quickened his pace when a few kunais were aimed at him. He sped up, running towards an alleyway. He put down his little sister gently, creating a shadow clone to, at the very least, protect while he handled the main trouble.
"Who are you?" He said, is voice stoic and menacing.
A figure was seen; however, since it was dark, his or her face was not seen clearly, but what stood out the most were the figure's glowing red eyes. Itachi's eyes narrowed as he drew a kunai out. The figure simply cackled. Sachiko tried to calm herself down.
There is… no reason to be afraid… She told herself. No reason at all… I must stay calm…
"Itachi Uchiha," The figure said, monotonously, the voice unmistakeably male. "I have been given the honourable task of getting rid of you."
"Is that so," He stated more so than asked. "You can try, but you will not succeed."
"Heh, we'll see about that!" The man said. As he approached, Sachiko could tell he was definitely an Uchiha. Which led to the next question, why would the Uchiha clan want to get rid of their lone genius?
"…" Itachi gave no answer as he threw his kunai; he formed seals, Serpent, Ram, Monkey, Boar, Horse and Tiger, putting his right index and middles finger to his mouth. "Fire Style: Fireball Jutsu!"
The man dodged, heading towards Sachiko, who in turn panicked, she curled up, shivering from fright, or so it seemed. In actually, Sachiko was trying to get her senbon. The man was one metre away before Sachiko instinctively through a senbon, piercing his neck in a way that wouldn't kill him. She stood up abruptly, pushing Itachi towards the ground as the man did his own Jutsu.
"Fire Style: Phoenix Flower Jutsu!"
The two barely made it without getting singed. Itachi rolled over, activating his Sharingan. The opponent foolishly looked Itachi in the eyes as his face was pulled into a deformed look of terror. Itachi deactivated his Sharingan, looking worriedly at Sachiko, his clone dealing with the corpse. "Chi-chan, are you OK?"
Sachiko slowly nodded her head. "…nii-chan, are you alright? Why was another Uchiha trying to kill you?"
Itachi sighed; he never wanted to get Sachiko involved into this. "Sachiko… what I'm going to tell you is an SS-class secret, are you sure you want to know?" Sachiko looked into his eyes firmly and nodded. He sighed as she nodded, creating several seals, Boar, Monkey, Rat and Snake, as he said, "Sealing Jutsu: Absolute Silence!" A bubble of chakra formed around the two.
Sachiko watched Itachi wearily, a bit worried, but not for herself, but for her brother. "Chi-chan, a long time ago, when Konoha was first founded, there was always a rivalry between two specific clans." She nodded.
"These two clans were the Senju clan and the Uchiha clan. At the beginning, when Konoha had to decide on who would be the Hokage, one of our ancestors had fought the leader of the Senju clan. With this, the Uchiha clan planned on ruling Konoha, even by force. The two ended up fighting at the Valley of End, where the leader of the Senju clan, or also known as, the Shodaime won. Right now, most of the Uchiha clan is planning on another civil war." He paused, watching as Sachiko absorbed the information.
"…Sachiko, before I continue, I have to ask, is there anyone in the Uchiha clan, besides from me, which you trust and love?"
Sachiko was unprepared for this question. She opened her mouth before closing it again, looking towards the ground. Mother would be one but… I don't know. I haven't felt any parental support from her, no matter how kind she looks like and then there was that time when she was talking to father…
"…no." She answered, crying as she hugged Itachi. "…there is… no one but you… No one ever noticed me, all because you were the genius; however… you were also the one… to show me love… so I ignored it… so I could be with you…" Because I love you… Because, even if you can't tell, I need you, more than anything and anyone!
"Chi-chan, you're wrong about not being acknowledged, father deems you as a threat, and he deems me as a threat too. He, however just doesn't show it."
"Threat?" She asked, quietly. "How? How am I a threat?!" She sobbed.
Itachi stroked her hair lightly. "I will explain, please let me continue," he said, hugging her back. "My latest mission, S-class, as an ANBU was to eliminate the Uchiha's whose loyalties lies within anyone except for the Hokage. As you know, they want to take over Konoha. They also know that I would never betray Konoha, they also know that you – for them – can be both a pro and con, for a good reason." He said, shaking his head when Sachiko looked at him to explain how that was. "I'll explain another time, but anyway, I know there are at least two people, you and mother." Sachiko sobbed, shaking her head.
"…nii-chan, okaa-san is not as loyal as you think…" Itachi looked at her confusedly. "Okaa-san is on the civil war side, I know because before, a little while back, I got home from the academy early and I used the window to get to my room, because I was in a rush, when I heard them talking. They were… talking about plans on an 'operation'. I recognised several – no, all – the elders and council members there, too, from their voices, anyway."
Itachi was shocked. "Why didn't you tell me this?"
"I wasn't sure… But… they're going to do it soon, very soon," She sobbed. "…Itachi-nii-san… what do I do?"
Itachi pulled back, holding onto her shoulders. "Chi-chan, I'm sorry, but I'm going to have to put you under a Genjutsu. I'm sorry but I have to. The Hokage knows I will stage my death, giving false hope for the Uchiha clan. You will see me die in this Genjutsu, and only one other person can dispel this Jutsu besides from me. This is so that the Hokage will have a relay of information. Are you ready?"
She reluctantly nodded, prepared to bear the pain of witnessing her beloved's death; she stared at Itachi's eyes, hoping to make Itachi's Jutsu more effective. Itachi made the hand seals snake and rat, as he said, "Demonic Illusion: Hell Viewing Technique!"
Instantly, Sachiko squinted her eyes, as leaves had surrounded her, Itachi had dispelled the bubble they were in. Itachi used the corpse as a double for his fake dead body. In about three seconds, she gave an ear piercing scream. She panted, tears out of her eyes, running towards the nearest shinobi or kunoichi she could see, who just happened to be Ibiki Morino. She looked into his eyes, fear written within her onyx eyes.
"Please! Help! Nii-san has been…he's been killed!" She panted, shaking.
Ibiki nodded, taking the girl straight to the Hokage, since he knew what that meant. So, it has begun, huh?
Out in the distance, Itachi wondered about what she saw; it seemed a bit over board for a scaring Jutsu, unless, of course, he'd accidently used too much chakra. Either that or Sachiko had been watching one too many scary movies at night. Note to self: Keep Sachiko away from scary movies… He thought, as he dispersed away with the wind.

Mikoto Uchiha was worried. It was getting late, and knowing Itachi, he wouldn't let Sachiko stay out this late. Something was wrong, very, very wrong.
Knock, knock!
Mikoto sighed as she got up from the chair she was sitting in within the kitchen and walked towards the door. As she opened the door, she was surprised to see an ANBU member at her doorstep.
"I'm sorry but if you're here to see Itachi, he's—"
"No," The ANBU said. "I'm here to inform you that your son, Itachi Uchiha, has been reported to have been murdered."
She gasped. "And my daughter?" She asked.
"…she's currently within the care of the Sandaime."
"…I see, please, tell me more when you know!"
"Of course, good night." The ANBU said as he disappeared.
Mikoto closed the door. Her caring face changed to a smug expression before changing back. She walked into the bedroom, of which was where her husband was. "Fugaku, dear," She said, slyly. "I have… some pleasant news."
Fugaku looked at her with a questioning gaze. "He is out of the way."
Fugaku smirked. "I guess Shisui succeeded, I guess he died too."
"Yes, all is going according to plan. Now that Itachi is out of the way, Sachiko is no longer a threat as well."
"Yes, all according to plan."
