Rise of Chibi
(Naruto FanFic - Loosely SasuSaku)
"Through everything, despite my family, I'm on my own and I am only looking to myself for guidance and advice. My family doesn't accept the fact of my being. My twin...he's nothing like me! We are not one in the same!" -Uchiha Chibikura, age 12
Chapter 1: Chibi
"Chibisuke!" Sakura called. "Chibisuke! Get up or you'll be late!"
Chibikura laughed as she chewed on another piece of toast. She looked up as mother entered. Her father was positioned diagonal from her and she never spoke to him at breakfast, it was like he and her mother were the only two being in the entire room until Chibisuke decided to come down. The whole family was there...almost; she was usually ignored.
"Mother, if Chibisuke doesn't come down in five minutes I'm leaving without him," Chibikura stated firmly before finishing her toast.
"Oh, yes. That's great Kura-chan. Just wonderful," Sakura chimed over a pan of scrambled eggs.
Chibikura growled and sat back down. She stared across the table to her father and his ANBU suit. She admired that uniform every morning, but no one every noticed it. No one ever noticed her in their family. Slowly Chibikura pulled her eyes away and gulped down the rest of her orange juice. Sakura called to Chibisuke again and only got a moan in return. Chibikura felt her head throbbing and stood up.
"Fine, I'm leaving without him," she almost shouted.
"Have fun, dear," Sakura called as she dumped the eggs onto a plate.
She gripped her fist and turned away, heading for the door. She grabbed her shoes and slipped into them as she ran for the door with ease, every morning she'd been doing this, running into her shoes and was great at it by now. She ran out and slammed the door behind her, but no one scolded her for making a ruckus so early in the morning.
She ran through the Uchiha destrict. It was resently being reconstructed after countless arguements between her parents and Tsunade and her father. More and more people appeared each day for the construction, each knew her name or at least recognized who and what she was: an Uchiha child, a prodigy.
She always ran straight through the construction projects dodging workers with ease as they smiled at her and tried to make it difficult for her to make it passed them, but hardly had an effect on her, sliding through piles of wood and ladders and tools, gliding past danger zones and guarding against and evading sudden spills. She always took this route, to keep Chibisuke away longer and to get in pre-training before actual training.
"Oi!"
"Eh..?" Chibikura squealed.
She felt a light pressure on her wrist that suddenly turned into a tight grip and jerk her backwards.
She balanced herself quickly and spun herself around. She put her free hand onto her hip and narrowed her eyes at a boy. He smiled happily at her as he held onto her hand. She looked down at their hands and he just smiled again and held it tighter.
"Now, mind telling me your name?" he asked softly.
"What?" Chibikura questioned him.
She hadn't heard him fully. She had been staring into his gorgeous eyes. They were so deep, so endlessly blue and so big, not to the point of Lee-big, but nicely big. Against him pasty-redish skin they were beautiful in every manner possible and the way his auburn hair hung partially touching the top of them and fully covering the corners...
"Your name?" he asked. "You promised, remember?"
"No, I'm sorry, I don't," she replied regretfully.
The boy's face dropped and Chibikura pulled away. She took a few steps away and turned. She heard his feet shuffling forward, toward her, and she stopped. He wasn't too far back, only about three feet now, and she closed her eyes with a soft smile playing on her lips. She then looked back at him.
"Anyways, you can call me 'Kura' for now," she whispered, "if you can catch me again that is."
"You do remem -"
Before he could finish Chibikura jumped up and over a huge stack of wood and he tried to follow around it. She then slid between a man and his ladder as he waved down at her and the boy lost sight of her completely after that.
Chibikura arrived a little late, the only reason she knew that was because Jiten was waiting for her when she arrived at the training ground. he stared at her curiously and questionably. She never arrived later than him and she usually made sure of that. She walked up to him with a smile and then leaned against the railing of their bridge before jumping up to sit on it.
"Good morning?" Jiten guessed.
She shrugged as she kicked her feet in and out from under her.
"What, Dad and Mom finally shipped Chibisuke off to Otogakure?" Jiten joked.
"Jiten!" Chibikura shouted in shock. "Even I don't like my brother, but I'd never wish him there! Maybe Amegakure because he hates the rain, but not there...and no they didn't." She sighed.
"Sorry, so...what happened then? You were late! L-A-T-E!" Jiten stretched the word into four syllables.
"I know, I know. I just...had a little trouble on the route here, new obstacles I was unaware of," she answered casually.
Jiten's face dropped and he put his hands on hers. "But you're okay, right? You are okay."
Chibikura smiled and put her other hand on his as she leaned toward her teammate. "Not a scratch."
She jumped down from the rail and she and Jiten turned to watch Chibisuke skip up toward them. As Chibisuke n eared a huge smile spread to his lips. Chibikura looked away in aggetation and folded her arms. Jiten looked at her as if saying 'don't do this today Chibikura' and she sighed, but didn't turn around. Jiten touched her shoulder with encouragement circling through the touch as he past her to go to Chibisuke.
"Oi! i did it! Beat Kokoro-sense-"
"Sorry, we're meeting Kokoro at the Hokage's," Jiten stated as he looked at Chibisuke. His face dropped and Jiten chuckled.
"New mission," Chibikura added as she turned and strut past him, savoring his priceless face. Then it changed, shocking her at the quick change.
"Sweet!" he cheered as he leaped and turned toward Jiten. They both walked in the same area, only a few feet apart and a few feet ahead or behind.
Chibikura stood on the bridge, staring at her brother walking away in all his usual joy. She closed her eyes tightly and clenched her fists, her knuckles turning pure white. Why? Why him? Everything he is and does it wrong? No...Chibikura, calm down. You're stronger than this, right! Just forget it... Chibikura relaxed her hands and looked up Jiten was looking over his shoulder at her concern in his eyes and Chibisuke was walking on. Chibikura smiled and blushed slightly under her relaxed surface. She soon caught up.
As they all walked together, Chibikura reminisced her route this morning. Those eyes...that voice...that boy...? Who was he? She was sure she knew him. Otherwise, if she didn't, who would come up to a nin of Konohagakure and grab them. She couldn't pummeled him in about thiry seconds, so why didn't she? If she didn't know him, she would've and since she didn't she obviously did know him. But what did that mean?
How? How did she know him? Who? Who was he? Where? Where had she seen before? Why? Why had he been so keen on her name, and why did she give it out so easily? Did she trust him? She didn't even know his name or who he was! So why...
"Oi, Earth to Kura-nii!" Chibisuke called from dead in front of Chibikura and waving his arms like an idiot.
She shook away. "What the hell, Kay?!" she shrieked.
"We're here," he stated casually as he leaned away.
Chibikura regained herself and sighed. "Okay, you could've just said that instead of scaring me half to death," Chibikura snapped.
"Sorry," Chibisuke groaned. "Now, can we go in?" he asked to Shizune who was standing outside of the Hokage's office.
"In just a moment, Tsunade's in a very important meeting. It's running a little over schedule," Shizune explained as she held a sleeping TonTon in her arms.
"Well, where's Kokoro-sensei, please?" Jiten asked her.
"Oh, I don't know. He hasn't shown up yet," Shizune said thoughtfully.
"What?" Chibikura stared at Shizune with worry behind her dark eyes, barely noticeable, but of course a woman could always know.
"Don't worry Kura-chan, I'm sure everything is fine. He probably just over slept," Shizune reassured her. Kura nodded.
Sensei...he doesn't sleep in, it's not like him.
"Well, how long is this meeting suppose to last?" Chibisuke asked.
"Uhm...I'm not really sure, but -"
Snore. Jiten and Chibikura stared past Shizune and at the Hokage's door in predictable glares and Chibisuke stared at it in shock. Kura slowly looked to her brother and waited for the inevitable. When was he going to explode? His eye began to twitch. Chibikura took a step away and sighed.
Three. Two. One
"WHAAAAAAT!! SHE'S SLEEPING??" Chibisuke bellowed.
"Ahh, Chibisuke-san, please, be quiet. Don't make a big fuss," Shizune pressured, Tonton was awake now from Chibisuke's screaming and oinked in agreement with Shizune.
"Oh, I'll be quiet AFTER I walk in there and wake her up!" Chibisuke roared.
"I doubt that," Jiten stated under his breath, Chibikura laughed.
"Chibisuke, no!!" Shizune shrieked as she tried to bar the way to the door. It didn't work, Chicbisuke, in his "fiery", pushed Shizune and TonTon out of the way and kicked the door down. He barged in and Jiten and Kura looked in after him. Shizune was on her feet running in behind him. "I'm sorry, I tried Kokoro-san!"
"Kokoro-sensei!!" the three genins gasped.
"Oh, yeah. Hey guys, what's up?" Kokoro asked through his hang-over.
