Hello all, thank you for coming it to read my fanfic, I hope you enjoy it as much as I do at this moment. I've tried my best and hope it satisfies your tastes.
Oh oh, btw, I'm not the best at "playing" the character's from Naruto, so it will take about all of my power just to keep one character or so in line, like they would in the manga. So please forgive me with my "original characters"… I mean it's still a story, right..?
Disclaimer: Not me.
New Years.
I'm alone for the entire night, my parents went out for dinner, maybe even to a relative's house to stay for a while. I'm never alone at the house, so I have to adore the peace and stillness when I can.
Sadly, I'm the youngest child. My parents wanted another child, but my mother had a miss carriage. I was only three at the time. I remember my mother crying. She had blood on the clothes she had in her hands when she came home from the hospital. I was frightened to see my mother like that…
The blood didn't bother me, watching her cry did.
Since I was home alone for new years, I decided to go out and train by myself. Last year I went out to eat ramen with Naruto. Sadly, he's busy with something he didn't bother to tell me about. Naruto and I are very good friends, even though he was a couple years younger than me. Uchiha Sasuke and I can deal with one another, he's a sweet boy, just a little to obsessive with his older sibling. And he's too formal for my tastes. On my way out of my house, I hurried to my woods behind my land. I'd always wished that night could be day and day could be night. We would sleep during the day and live during the night. The darkness and coolness of the night time always calmed me. That's why I come out to train for hours, after dark. Sleep was unimportant to my body. I was never really tired after I had trained for numerous hours after dark. But that really depends on that I was doing during that training period.
Breathing in and out, I continued to sooth my body slowly. I let my energy flow throughout my Chakra tunnels in my limbs. Gathering my Chakra to certain parts of my body. I put my hands together and stood straight, keeping my weight in perfect balance. I started to move my arms around, keeping my fist and muscles tight.
I was practicing my taijutsu. It's my best techniques out of Genjutsu, Taijutsu, and Ninjutsu. I don't really spend much of my time training but I seem to be naturally good at ninja skills. I've always been daydreaming, or sketching something that seems to pop into my head though, instead of paying attention in class or on missions. I'm pretty good at the other techniques also.
I twisted my arm to the side and lifted my leg in the air, into a powerful kick. I kept moving slowly. Not wanting to make a sound. And of course, it was my week point. My noise, the noise I make. I've been clumsy my entire life. Tripping over things, running into people, hitting people; the whole shebang. I still haven't gotten over it either.
When I was just about pleased on how well I was doing, I heard something crack. Something very loud. At first I thought I broke something, while I was doing another slow hit, but I was wrong. I jumped at the sound and fell over on my side.
"Ow, oww." I whimpered. I was a bit stunned. I tried to reprocess at what just happened, but it took a little longer for me to do so. I quickly glanced around, trying to find the noise. I didn't have to look around myself, but above myself instead.
In the sky, there were fireworks?
Oh yeah. Its New Years. It must be midnight then.
I started to wonder what my parents were doing. Hopefully enjoying themselves. I am. But the fireworks were a bit much. I'd like to know who is setting them, though… Probably Chouji's family, or the Yamanakas. Most likely the Akimichi's.
Taking in a deep breath of air, I instantly ran towards the fireworks.
I ran through the forest and kept my eyes on the fireworks, hoping they wouldn't stop. But I'm just a worry wart like that; I've only been running for about fifteen minutes now. I jumped from tree to tree. Again, trying to be soundless. The only noise was the air and leaves brushing passed me.
It wasn't long before I started to notice my surroundings becoming more and more familiar. The training grounds, the KIA stone, the play ground. Now the academy should be up ahead, only around the corner. But, this pathway is the one that I would usually take to get to the academy. It was a short cut for me.
However, The Akimichi's place isn't anywhere near this way. Only Haruno Sakura's place and Naruto's…
I soon came into a clearing. It was warmer in the area, maybe because of the heat from the fireworks.
I glanced around, taking in the people and my other surroundings. I was very surprised on who was setting the fireworks, I was completely wrong with my guesses...
The Uchiha's.
The fireworks were still going off and I could hear some music playing. Probably a famous player, The Uchiha's are very wealthy, from the look of their homes.
I felt a little embarrassed to run into the Uchiha's party like this. Well, I didn't really run into the middle of it. I was about seventeen yards away from the actual party. I was glad not many people saw me.
Again, I was wrong.
"State your business." Someone whispered in my ear behind me. I jumped, automatically spinning around to attack the being. I was caught off guard. I didn't hear, or feel anyone come up to me. I was surprised; this individual must be a ninja, a good one.
Besides that, they blocked my attack, easily grasping my ankle. I held still, not wanting to grab any attention. I was too late on that, though.
The majority of the people was staring at me; the music was still playing. Thank kami...
My gut started to twist and turn. I felt the heat from my body seep to my face and my ears also.
So, I ruined the party, what else can I do?
I was interrupted by a slight pain in my ankle, the grip became tighter. They took my musing as an opening. Letting my ankle fall from the their grasp, and flashing to my wrist. The individual took my arm and twisted it behind myself. Instantly.
"Ah.." I whimpered at the slight wave of pain. I held still once again. Not wanting to fight back. Even though they were fast, I considered myself the best at taijutsu in the entire village. I would beat them.
"I told you, state your business." The person told me again. It was surely a male; the voice was deep and cold. The sound of it in my ear made me a bit nervous.
I stayed quiet; I didn't feel embarrassed any more. I was becoming bored actually. I wished I was back at my house, drawing. Instead of crashing the Uchiha's New Years party. Believe me, I'd much rather be doing something else than being here.
The grip on my wrist tightened, not like it was tight enough as it was before. I winced again, but stayed frozen. The people around me started back to what they were doing before, as if my captor knew was he was doing, and was doing it correctly.
"That's going to leave a burse you know." I told him, arching my back more. I tilted my head towards my captor, breathing in his scent. The only word I could describe the scent has been used multiple times but this smell fell perfectly into this description. Sweet.
"How about you let me go? So my wrist won't burse tomorrow morning?" I bargained.
He didn't answer. I pouted, and began to rack my brain for anything. I didn't know who was holding me, or his name. He was strong; I knew that much.
"I'll leave if let me go." I told him.
No answer.
"So you want me to stay?" I asked, my voice full with deviousness.
Still no reply. I breathed in deeply.
"Come on now, I'm getting a bit tired of standing in this one position." I complained. I was...no…I already felt my wrist turning purple.
Then finally he spoke.
"State your business." He repeated. I sighed. Might as well tell him the story, he may let me go afterwards.
"I was at my house, sparing with myself. Then I saw fireworks. I became very curious on who was setting them off. I was sure it was Chouji's family, but never the Uchiha's. Okay? Is that all. May I go now?" I breathed, becoming very agitated; my arm was starting to go numb.
The grip loosened but never let me free.
"You shouldn't be running around, disturbing other people's celebrations." He mumbled darkly then shoved me forward. I stumbled, extending my arms out to keep myself balanced. I stood straight up again and turning my head. To see my captor, but I saw no one. I spun around, glancing around. He was gone. Was I hallucinating? Or was it a Genjutsu?
I shrugged, turning back to the woods. I think I was relying on how Uchiha Sasuke and Uchiha Itachi acted towards the world. Their mother is kind, never met their father though. But neither did I meet Uchiha Itachi.
I paced slowly into the woods. Trying to keep my eyes on the trees, I could hear voices in my head screaming at me to turn back, and to figure out who treated me like a was a dangerous imposter. Actually I was an imposter to them, but defiantly not dangerous.
Stepping out of my room, I cursed myself inwardly while examining my now purple wrist.
"That bastard." I grumbled to myself. When I got home my wrist wasn't purple, but now it's a mixture of purple and green!
"Ohayou Ai." My mother greeted me. I brushed my fingers through my bangs and nodded towards her.
"Ohayou mama, Nanika atta?" I asked her what's up. She smiled at me.
"Breakfast of course." I mirrored her smile.
"Did you and papa have a good time last night?" Her smile widened as she poured some sweet sauce in the bowl.
"You will not believe this Ai-" she cooed happily, "-your father and I are having another child!" She came right out with it, I sucked in a short breath of air before squealing.
"Mama! Stop teasing!" I couldn't help but smile, was that why they were gone for so long? I laughed at myself.
"Iie Ai, really." She placed the bowl of her special rice before me on the table. I smiled again, complete joy flowing over my body. The warmth of this happiness was very rare for me to feel.
"Have you told Kyu, and Kju about this?!" I nearly blurted out. I then wondered where my twin brothers were. Hopefully they'll enjoy the news just as much as my mother and I. I could see the extra bounce in my mothers steps. She sure wasn't faking this. As of right now, my day had just gotten ten times better.
"Not yet Ai. Do you mind going to go get them for me? Wake them?" My mother placed the rest of the blows for my brothers and her. Before sitting down at the table.
"Of course, be back in a second." I breathed.
I raced up the steps quickly, ran down the hall way and skidded to a stop in front of my twin brothers room.
"Cover up cuz' Ai is comin'!" I screamed while kicking at the door. Just after I placed my foot on the door, I heard one thump, then the second. My lips curved.
"Did that hurt?" I snorted, then I heard groans.
"Leave us-" one twin started, "-ALONE." The other finished. I laughed again. Oh the joy of this job, I do it every morning - Unless they have missions…
"Get up!" I stomped my foot against the door again.
"NOOO!!" They said in union, I started to get a little agitated.
"Hurry, now. Mother wants you both to get down, she have something important to tell you both." I said to the door before I turned around and started back to the kitchen.
Before I even had a few feet from their door, I felt two flashes of air blow passed me. Leaving me with my dark hair in my face. And again, no more than two steps and I heard yelling again.
"A baby?!" My mother sure was quick with words. I felt my lips twitch into a smile. Just something my mother has specialized in other than cooking and motherly things.
I hurried back to my seat at the table and watched my family. They chattered about the little details about the up-coming new born.
Of course my brothers hoped for a boy, I really didn't mind. I just wanted my family happy, boy or girl I'd be satisfied.
I quickly finished my breakfast, excused myself from the table and hurried off for the rest of my day.
I had very simple missions that day, I finished three in a day. Not my best but I was happy. Of course they were solo missions, so they were easier for me. I am an Anbu, I specialize in all of the three categories; Assassination, Espionage, and Protection. My favorite is the Espionage, but the easiest for me is the protection. And the assassination is just a bore in my opinions.
I started to feel a bit of uneasiness on my way home from my last mission, and I didn't have a reason why. My day had gone by smoothly, and I had done no wrong. Well, that I knew of. And then something hit me…
A-oof!
With my natural reflexives I caught whatever was coming at me. It didn't come at me with much force but it was able to knock me to the ground.
"I-I'm so sorry Ai-san!" I opened my eyes to another dark pair that mirrored my own.
"It's absolutely fine Sasuke-san," I smiled at him. "I wasn't watching where I was going, forgive me." I helped him back to his feet and brushed myself off. He must have just been let out of the academy because he still had his The sudden uneasiness still rests in the pit of my chest. Hopefully this eerie feeling will soon leave me to peace, I had a lot planed for tomorrow.
When I looked back down at Sasuke he suddenly moved from his spot. He had started running towards his compound. As he ran I could hear his little breathing and foot steps, but something was sharply covering over the petite noises. Screaming, near the Uchiha's section of the village, and my home was only one house away from their section.
As my breathing and heart kicked in¾as well as panic¾I instantly mimicked the little Uchiha's actions, running desperately towards my home..
I like it, but some things happened a bit to fast..
Forgive any typos, mistakes, etc etc. I wouldn't mind some help, lol.
Review, please?
