5 Years Ago: Festival
"ONII-CHAAAN! ONII-SAAAN! HURRY, HURRY!" A young girl at the age of 6 (just now) in a purple kimono with red butterflies and uneven black hair tied up in two pigtails (Imagine the Black Rock Shooter's hair) yelled back to her older brothers. As the two walked up to their sister, dressed in simple black outfits consisting of t-shirts with the Uchiha symbol and black pants, girls of many ages turned their heads to watch with hearts in their eyes. Why, you ask? Because these were the infamous, handsome Uchiha brothers: Sasuke Uchiha and Itachi Uchiha.
"Why is it that you are telling us to hurry instead of simply walking back to us, imouto?" Itachi asked. Sasuke nodded his head, looking into his younger sister's crimson eyes, as if saying that he was wondering as well. He had not yet developed the emotionless exterior he has now at that time, but was just curious. "Also, even if it is a festival, don't you think you should be wearing your chunin jacket? You could get called on a mission at any time, after all."
Yeah, he just said "chunin jacket". Why would he talk about being called to mission with a 6-year-old? Because young Hikari Uchiha was a frickin' genius. She became a genin at 4, and a chunin at 5. People were already predicting that she would become a jounin soon enough. Meanwhile, Sasuke was extremely jealous, but at the same time knew he just had to train.
Anyway.
"Mou, Onii-san! Why would I wear that with my kimono! It would be so uncomfortable!" Hikari complained. 'Of course, Onii-san would never understand something like that...' "And I didn't walk back because I'm in line for taiyaki! By the way, Kaa-chan said you have to pay for what I do, so gimme money for taiyaki!" Hikari grinned while holding out her hand. "If you don't, I'll use the Mangekyou on you!" (Don't worry; for her, it developed on its own) The Sharingan was one of the reasons Hikari was already this far as a shinobi.
Itachi sighed as he handed his demanding younger sister money. "At least wear you forehead protector! Honestly..."
"Yeah! If you're a shinobi, you should wear your forehead protector, Hikari! It's the proper thing to do!" Sasuke finally said. He hadn't said anything since he was nervous about the stares he could feel on his back from fangirls, but they had left the area.
"But I AM wearing it! I just wa- AAAAAAHHHHH! Where is it? Did it fall off? What will I doooooo?" Hikari began frantically searching the area, entirely forgetting about the taiyaki she was waiting for.
In a different area of the festival, a young boy at the age of 7 leaned down to where his dog was barking and found a forehead protector. He flipped it to find the name "Hikari Uchiha" on the other side.
"Damn! It just had to be hers, didn't it?" He cursed, muttering.
"Don't curse, Kiba!" His two sisters, younger and older, said while punching in the head. The two were frighteningly similar, from their long brown hair to their matching personalities.
"GAH! Hana, Raka, what was that for?" Kiba yelled. Two bumps were already forming on his head.
"Swearing!" "Because I felt like it!" were the two replies. Hana glared at her idiotic younger brother, while Raka grinned, amusement apparent in her chocolate eyes. The two silver wolf pups at her side barked in agreement. "Anyway, isn't that Hikari-chan's forehead protector?" Raka asked while leaning in to look and smell it.
"Raka, I hate you sometimes. And yes, I think it is. It has her name on it." Kiba groaned while rubbing his head. "Did you have to hit me so hard?" He whined. "Won't it ruin your kimonos?"
The Inuzuka girls gave him a blank stare, then looked at their matching kimonos, which were brown with white paw prints. "...How would that affect our kimonos?" Raka finally asked. Hana just facepalmed.
"...Shut up. Anyway, Raka, would you return this? I hate her, she hates me, and she would kill me once she realizes I have it." Kiba said. Raka nodded and grinned, eager to see her best friend. She snatched it from his hand.
"Yumi, Kumi, let's go find Hikari-chan!" Raka yelled while running off. The little wolves barked, racing off after her. Kiba just growled while Hana and Akamaru stared at him.
"Why does she get to have wolves... It's not fair! She's younger than me!"
Kiba complained. Akamaru just looked at the ground, feeling guilty that he wasn't a wolf like his partner wanted. Hana hit him again. "What the hell was that for?"
"Making Akamaru upset, dumbass!" Hana yelled. Kiba looked at the puppy, feeling sorry.
"Hey, Akamaru, it's not your fault. I wasn't blaming you, or saying that I didn't like you. It's just sibling rivalry." Kiba spoke comfortingly as he picked up Akamaru. Said puppy barked happily at the attention he was getting just from feeling guilty about something that wasn't his fault.
During this exchange, Raka was quite thoroughly getting herself completely lost in the festival.
Hikari was still searching for her lost forehead protector when she bumped into one of the shyer Hyuugas, and one of her closer friends.
"Oh, hi, Hina-chan! Have you seen my forehead protector? I lost it and can't find it anywhere! By the way, how have you been? Do you know if Raka-chan is at the festival? I haven't seen her at all. Are you lost? Where's your family?" Hikari got all of this out in just one breath. Nobody is certain if she was adopted or not, only because she talks so much. Actually, nobody is certain about much when it comes to Hikari Uchiha. For example, how she became friends with the shy, quiet Hinata Hyuuga.
"Ummm... I-I haven't s-seen it anywhere. I've b-been fine. Raka-san and I p-passed by each other e-earlier. A-and, yes... I-I got s-separated from m-my family." Hinata stared at the ground in embarrassment and shame. Hikari closed her eyes in thought.
"Ah! Now I remember! I saw Hiashi-sama looking for you by the mask shop!You should probably go to him, Hina-chan! See ya later!" Hikari ran off after saying this, waving. Hinata waved as well, heading in the direction of the mask shop.
A blonde boy with whiskers waved to Hikari, calling her name. She walked up to him. "Hey, Naruto! What's up?"
"Raka is looking for you! She has your forehead protector, and wants to return it! At least, I think that's what she said. I wasn't able to catch some of it. She went that way!" Naruto said while pointing west.
"Really? Great! Thanks, Naruto!" Unlike most people, Hikari's group of friends were kind to the Kyuubi container, ignoring their parent's warnings. This was one of the reasons two girls broke away from the circle...
Moving on.
Raka, Yumi, and Kumi ran along the pathways of the festival, searching for Hikari. Suddenly, they heard screeches of pain. Deciding to see what was going on, Raka slowed down and wandered in the direction of the noise.
"Sasuke will be MINE, Forehead!"
"Never, unless he likes PIGS!"
Raka rounded a corner to find two fangirls pulling each other's hair, one blonde, the other a pinkette. She sighed, seeing that it was simply the usual fighting between Sakura Haruno and Ino Yamanaka. Even they were only 7, they were already bitter rivals for Sasuke. Sakura and Ino were the two that broke off of the circle, because it soon was known that they were only friends with Hikari to be closer to their beloved Sasuke. Hikari refused to speak to them after she found out, and Raka just glares at them now. Raka abandoned the area, turning around to find the very person she was searching for playing with Yumi and Kumi. "Kari-chan!"
"Oh, Ra-chan! Do you have my forehead protector? Naruto said you did." The two best friends hugged each other practically to death. After they were done, Raka handed Hikari her forehead protector. Hikari immediately tied it around her head. "Thanks, Ra-chan!"
"You're welcome! Wanna go play? I was bored."
"Sure! I want to go catch goldfish!"
The girls ran off, ready to spend the night playing at the festival. Afterwards, they went home asleep in their parent's arms.
*Time Skip*
Hikari ran in pure fear from her older brother, with only one thought.
'I have to escape from Onii-san.'
She tripped on a rock and rolled over, thoughts of defense escaping her due to fear. Just as Itachi Uchiha was about to stab her, she disappeared in a flash of light.
Itachi turned away, thinking, 'I need to go after Otou-sama and Okaa-sama next.'
