My friend.

Chapter1

I could only stare blankly at the grass in my back yard.

'He's gone…' I fought back my tears… 'I won't cry for you.' I thought bitterly…

"Ashai- Are you alright?" My Aunt called.

'No.' I didn't move.

She walked up to me. "Ashai…" She touched my shoulder.

I looked up at her.

She pulled me up swiftly and wrapped her arms around me.

I sobbed.

"I know- let it out." She whispered into my hair. "Let it out." She repeated.

"Why?!" I hugged her tight as my sobs came out in waves. I couldn't understand why Itachi would kill his clan and try to kill me… "Why?!" I held onto my Aunt for dear life.

.-…-.-.-.-.

"I got it Sensei!" I said quickly as I began picking up the books that he dropped. "Go ahead and head home- I'll finish up tonight." I smiled.

"Oh-thank you Ashai-Chan!" Iruka Sensei smiled warmly at me.

I watched as he excused himself…

I looked down… He was so clumsy, I smiled.

One by one I picked up the books until the floor was spotless…

A loud knock at the door shook me from my thoughts…

I got up from my chair and walked to the office door, I opened it slowly. "Yes?"

"Yazahi Ashai?" The ANBU questioned.

"Yes?" I was curious.

"Hokage Sama wished for me to give this to you." He handed me a letter and disappeared.

'How odd.' I opened the letter and scanned it.

I felt my legs want to give out.

'No!' I forced myself to stay up.

After I caught my breath I stepped out of the door way closed the door and locked it before I ran.

I leaped over houses and apartments…

'You're lying!' I ran up the Hokage tower. "You're lying!" I yelled as I leaped through the open window.

Naruto looked shocked.

"Uzumaki Naruto!" I pointed to my Hokage. "You're Lying!"

He shook his head before smiling at me. "No. He asked for his team to see him first."

I wasn't surprised when Momaru came running through the door. "Is he really-?" He asked wide eyed to Naruto.

Naruto nodded.

He pressed a button on the intercom. "Have Itachi-San escorted into my office."

I could hear my heart in my ears… I was shaking with anticipation…

The door knob twisted and the door opened…

An ANBU walked in first, Then my eyes watted when I saw Itachi…

I subconsciously rubbed the scar that was over where My heart was supposed to be.

I was grateful that I had Situs Invesus… My heart was on the opposite side- Thank God.

He looked at Momaru first… Then when he saw me he looked shocked.

Momaru ran up to him and hugged him

I slowly made my way over to him… Our eye contact never broke…

After Momaru and Itachi where disconnected I touched my old teammates face lightly…

I bit my lip and …

(SMACK!) I glared at him, (SMACK!) My lips turned into snarl (SMACK!).

"Ashai!" Momaru wrapped his arms around me and pulled me across the room.

"I HATE YOU!" I screamed at Itachi. "I HATE YOU!" I struggled in Momarus' arms. "Let me go!" I elbowed Momaru in the ribs then I turned and punched him as hard as I could. I then Jumped out of the Hokage tower window.

My heart… it hurt…

Tears streamed down my cheeks….

I ran as fast as I could…

I had to get away…
