"All That I'm Living For."
PROLOGUE
When thinking about a family; one usually imagines a mother, a father, and siblings. But when you look at my family, you don't even think of it as a family. I have one mother and a lot of 'aunties'. I live in a large lavish house with my mother and aunties, who all dress in silk and satin. They are very nice and often invite 'uncles' into rooms to 'play games' they say. I think of them as my family. But I have no brother, no sister, and no father. At least that's what I was told, until my mother took me some place special on my third birthday.
"Reika, meet your father."
My mother said coldly, smirking at a large muscular man who frowned at her in return. Even though I have never seen him before, I knew he really was my father. We had identical dark midnight hair, sharp observing eyes, pale alabaster skin, and long limbs. The only difference was the deep violet eyes I had inherited from my mother.
"Sachi, what are you playing at?"
He questioned my mother coldly, not even sending a look my way. I glanced down in embarrassment. Did he not want me? Am I an embarrassment? Suddenly there was a slight and soft rustle of leaves outside the window behind my father. He didn't notice since he was now in deep argument with my mother and both of them didn't notice as I slipped out of the door.
"What are you doing?"
I asked, tapping the little spy on the shoulder. He jumped up in fright and whirled around with a pout.
"Don't do that!"
He commanded as he stared back at me. He had the same dark spiky hair as I did, same style even. The color of our pale skin was also the same, including our size facial expressions and age.
"I'm sorry. I'm Reika, who are you?"
The boy puffed out his chest and raised his chin up in pride.
"I am Sasuke Uchiha, second son of Fugaku Uchiha of the Uchiha clan!"
He boasted as I blinked blankly at him.
"So…"
He blinked back at me and narrowed his sharp eyes.
"Don't you know who I am?"
He demanded loudly as a hand gently touched his shoulder, silencing him.
"Calm down, Sasuke."
An older boy said. He also had the trademark black hair and narrow eyes, but he had long lashes.
"Itachi! She doesn't know who we are! EVERYONE KNOWS WHO WE ARE!"
Itachi glances at me and back at Sasuke, then at me again.
"I am Itachi Uchiha."
"Reika."
"Itachi! Sasuke!"
We turned around to see my father and my mother head towards us. My mother had a smile of triumph as my father's face was dark.
"Father."
Both Itachi and Sasuke echoed as I widen my eyes in surprise. They're my brothers? My father sighed and started to massage the bridge of his strong nose with his pointer finger and thumb.
"Itachi, Sasuke. This is Reika Uchiha, your half-sister."
I guess I do have a family after all, with siblings and fathers. But for some reason this isn't how I imagined family would be. I imagined a rejoiced father and inviting brothers and sisters, not a father who glared at my mother and two brothers studying me like a wild animal.
