Two Different Uchihas

Disclaimer: I don't own Naruto, what else can I say? If I did, then all of the Akasuki member would still be alive. Haha well enjoy! R&R

-.-.-.- -...-..-.-,-...-,-.-..-,-.- -.-.-

Two Uchihas. Same clan, same eyes, same past, same pain. But different people, different future, and especially different thoughts on the Uchiha clan massacre. Will their destiny just drive them apart or together? SasukexOc SasuOc

-.-.-.-...-.-...-.-.-.-...-..-.-...-.-.

I woke up this morning to sunshine peeking through the window curtains and into my face.

I rolled over to the other side and faced a draw. On the wooden draw was a frame with a picture inside. It was also the thing I treasure most; a picture of a young girl of about 6 years of age and a man and a woman at her side. That was a picture of me back in the good old days with my beloved parents. I haven't seen them in about 5 years ever since...the day.

Right next to that photo frame was another one. This one had a picture of the same girl but a little older with two boys by her side. One looked like a young teenager, and the other one was around as big as her.

That was a picture of me and my two ex-best friends when I was younger. The older one was Itachi Uchiha; our clan's prodigy and our clan's murderer, as everyone says. And the other boy is Sasuke Uchiha; one of the last living members of the Uchiha clan. In my mind he is referee to as a blind emotionless jerk.

Why? Well, he used to be my best friend, the one I would tell all my secrets to and do everything with. We were so close that it was actually hard to separate us. Our parents would get so mad... We would play all day or watch Itachi train.

That was then, and this is now. Now, me and Sasuke don't even regard each other. We still both live in the Uchiha compound at each of our old homes, but we never talk or see each other, except in the academy.

The thing is, I am very bad at holding grudges. That may be the biggest difference between me and the jerk.

While Sasuke barely says a word to anyone and keeps to himself, I have made friends which I am so close with that they have kind of replaced my parents. No one can replace them, but I don't feel alone or lonely with my friends.

Another thing, I have let go of the massacre over the years, even though I probably took the whole thing worse than Sasuke at first. I cried for days none-stop and even went into a depression state.

He, on the other hand, probably never thinks of anything else, and that is why he turned out how he is.

I remember him telling me that he would avenge our whole clan by killing Itachi. I think that is wrong and Itachi probably had his reasons behind the whole thing. Even though I am upset about it and that it didn't have to happen, I learn to let things go. Itachi probably was set up to do it, something. He couldn't have done it just to test himself, as Sasuke has told me.

That is my goal, to find the truth behind the whole Uchiha massacre. Not revenge, like Sasuke. If I was in Sasuke's place, I still wouldn't kill my own brother. In addition to that, revive my clan and better the surname. We were kind of jerks back then anyways.

Sometimes I think of how life would be different if that hadn't happened. Or if I had been born into another clan. Sometimes even how things would be of Sasuke and I were still close and there for each other. We are not related, but are from the same clan and should be there for each other. But that is not how it is.

We are two totally different people and that is just the way things are.

Enough thinking, I have to get to the academy. Today are the graduation exams. I probably would have been gone out of the academy earlier, but I always wanted to just stay with my age group.

As I got out of bed I looked at the two pictures once again before going off.

I got dressed into my ninja outfit. Most of the Uchiha's outfits were all pretty much similar. I picked out a black high collar shirt (like Sasuke's in part 1 but in black except it has a slit down on the top a little) with the Uchiha crest on the back. Underneath the shirt, I had a long sleeve undershirt sort of fishnets. On the bottom I had long, skin thigh pants that were grey. They were made of stretchable material so it was easy to move in. On my feet were regular ninja sandals.

I had long black hair and black eyes. Pretty much like all Uchihas, although some did have close to brown hair. The clan head, Uchiha Fugaku had hair to a brownish tint, if I remember correctly.

My hair was up to my waist, however, I left it half up in a pony tail and half down. It doesn't get in my face that way. I also had bangs framing my face on both sides.

After I got dressed, I took my weapon pouch and fastened it on my side.

I walked out of my house and walked down the road of the Uchiha compound. It looked deserted, as always. I kept walking until I finally walked out of the place.

I kept walking a little further until I reached the Hyuga front gates where I saw Hinata waiting for me.

Hinata Hyuga was a very good friend of mine. She possessed the Huyga's byakugan kekkei genkai. She was also the heiress to her clan. On the outside she was a shy girl who didn't talk much and stuttered. However, she would always listen to you and was very understanding.

We walked to the academy together every time, and today was no different. The Hyuga compound was close to the Uchiha one so she would always meet me on the Hyuga compound's front and we would go together to the academy.

Sometimes we walked in silence, while other times we would talk together about anything. I felt like I could tell her anything and she would understand and tell no one.

As I got closer to her she waved to me and I greeted her back the same way.

I was now standing in front of the shy girl. I looked in her eyes, she had very pretty light lavender eyes with no pupils. When she activated her byakugan, they were almost as if see-through, or clear.

She looked down toward her feet. I have known her for a long time, but she would still get shy sometimes. "Hey Hinata" I told her.

She looked up now at me "H-hello Akane" I smiled at her. She wasn't very shy in front of me or most of her friends.

I noticed Neji come out as well. He was Hinata's cousin. As he came closer I greeted him. "Good morning Neji-san" Both of our clans are very concerned about you manners.

"Likewise" he told me back. He took his eyes off me and looked over to Hinata who cringed at he gazed her way. I didn't know why she was so scared of him. I knew she respected Neji a lot, but he always looked down on her since she was from the head clan. Our clan had a clan head, but we were not big fans of branches like the Hyuga. I probably can't relate much to their situation, so I decide to pull on Hinata's sleeve, signaling her to head on.

"Goodbye Neji-san" she whispered before we left. I'm pretty sure Neji heard her because he nodded as a response to her.

We walked silently side by side as we went to the academy. Today were the graduation exams. "So, Hinata, where are you going to place your headband?"

Hinata thought about it for a second. She probably wouldn't have placed it on her forehead since she had bangs there. "Uhh, I-I think on m-my neck"

I nodded. Most ninjas, or at least the jounins put their headbands on their foreheads. If not that than on their upper arm or around the neck was common too. "And you A-Akane?"

I shrugged my shoulders "Probably the classical way around my forehead since my bangs are on two sides, it will show off the leaf insignia nicely"

Hinata nodded her head in agreement. The rest of the way we were mostly quiet or making small an pointless conversations.

When we got to the academy, most of the people were already there. I noticed Naruto sitting at one of the desks. He waved to me and gestured me to come sit next to him. I nodded and stuck my pointer finger up signaling him to 'wait a minute'.

I asked Hinata to come sit with me with Naruto. She blushed and complied. I knew Hinata had the biggest crush on Naruto. She would turn as red as a tomato or even faint at times. Of course, Naruto, being the baka he is, didn't even notice.

I smirked and sat next to Naruto with him on my right side and Hinata on my left.

"Hi Akane-chan! How are you?"
Naruto asked a little to loudly as always. I sometimes wondered if it was some kind of speech disorder. Actually now that I notice it, everyone had their unique way of speaking. Hinata would stutter her words, Naruto would either yell or end thing with -ttebayo, Sasuke would just 'hn', Sakura would squeal, Shilamaru thought everything was 'troublesome'.

I sighed. Truthfully I didn't feel 100% this morning. I hadn't slept too long and last night I had a hard time falling asleep. "I'm fine Naruto" I told him that anyways, not to worry him.

I leaned back on the wood behind me that started the next set of seats behind me, and closed my eyes. "Hey, hey, hey, Akane, Akane, Akane!" Naruto was irritating at times, but he was my best friend. I had a lot of fun together. He was obsessed with ramen and loud. But, he was like the brother I never had. Although, I used to look up to Itachi as a brother before.

I almost jumped when he screamed that and now the whole room of all the children taking the graduation exams were staring at me. "Naruto! Shh... What?"

"Look out the window!" Naruto seemed ready to jump on the desk any second. I rolled my eyes as him and looked out the window. All I saw were shops and houses. I leaned back and raised an eyebrow at Naruto. What did he want now? Was this another prank of his? Truthfully I did help with some of his pranks, but... Then I noticed his grin get wider and he started pointing in one direction. I looked toward that direction, which was where the Hokage monuments were. And saw...graffiti in their faces and on the Yondaime's forehead it said Naruto and Akane in big red letters.

My eyeballs probably popped out of my head. What was the village going to think of me now? There is only on Akane that hangs out with Naruto, and that is me!

I got so angry at Naruto at that moment. I felt a lot of chakra flowing upward to my eyes and all of a sudden my vision got sharper. I had my sharingan activated. I had actually activated it a long time ago during a training accident in the academy. Most Uchihas activate their sharingan if a dangerous situation calls for it. I only had two tomoe in it, and I hope to master it soon.

Naruto's grin turned upside down at this. "Uhh Akane? Calm down, uhh, I'll clean it. Really?"

I gritted my teeth together. Now the village would think I'm someone who didn't take anything seriously and did stupid things. I have a reputation to hold up as the last female Uchiha. The only thing I'm afraid about is about the village elders or even the Hokage thinking me to be some breeding factory. "Just...don't do that again" I told Naruto as my blood red eyes faded back to their original black color.

Naruto looked at me closer to my face and stared into my coal eyes. "That's really creepy, what you do with your eyes. Your shornigan... Or whatever"

I crossed my arms "It's sharingan"

Iruka-sensei came in and we took our graduation exams. It was very easy; I just had to make some clones of myself. I got my headband and put it on my forehead like i told Hinata I would. Everyone passed, I think.

As I came out of the building, I saw everyone's parents congratulating them. I saw Hinata with her father with her. I walked up to them. "Hello Hyuga-san" I greeted her father as a bowed my head a little to show respect. Then I turned to Hinata and held out my hand for her to shake and she did. "congratulations Hinata for passing"

We let go of each other's hands and she told me "Y-you too Akane"

I felt someone put a hand on my shoulder as I looked up I saw Hiashi Hyuga's face with a soft smile on his face. We were on good terms since I usually came to the Hyuga compound to be with Hinata or train with her. Sometimes I would train with her father or Neji when I came. "Good job Uchiha-san, you really live up to your name" he told me.

I saw Hinata look down and frown a little. I saw the way her father was toward her, as if he didn't appreciate her enough. Hard to please. I frowned. The Uchihas were like that too, maybe even worse. I remember how Sasuke's father was like that also toward him and how I used to comfort him.

Her father took his hand off my shoulder and a solid face replaced his previous smile. "Thank you. I will see you tomorrow Hinata"

I kept walking through the crowed of people until someone grabbed my wrist. I turned around and saw Shikamaru with his father. "Oh, hi Shikamaru, I see you passed"

He nodded "You did too, good luck"

I smiled at him. He was also a good friend of mine. We always play shogi together. Although he usually beats me. "Ok bye" he nodded.

I continued on through the crowd, on the way I met some of my friends an congratulated them. I almost got mulled by my fanboys and Sasuke's fangirls. Sometimes I wonder if it was just an Uchiha trait.

I got out of the crowd of people and was walking as I saw a figure on the swings and realized it was Naruto. He's probably just upset that no one congratulated him on passing or that his headband was a little scratched or something stupid. As I got a little closer I heard two girls whisper a little loudly 'why is Akane Uchiha even going near that animal'

Uhh! I hated people like that. I don't know why they act like that toward Naruto. He doesn't do anything to anyone. Yea, he might be annoying to some people, but that is what makes him, him.

I got close to Naruto and he looked up at me. I looked down into his blue hues. Naruto's eyes really sucked you in. I tried to make Naruto feel better by hugging him. I felt his arms go around my back as he returned the hug. I then realized why he was upset-he didn't pass the exam.

"Naruto, there's always next time. Plus, I will try to teach you the clone"

Naruto let me go and he forced out a smile that I could tell was fake. "Mnm thanks Akane"

I tapped a finger on my chin and leaned onto one leg. "Hey Naruto-kun, do you want to come over?" I trie to cheer him up, while cheering myself up at the same time. Like killing two birds with one stone, except opposite reason. It got pretty lonely at the Uchiha compound. I didn't have to live there. Actually, the Hokage even asked if Sasuke and I each wanted to get apartments. We decided to stay at the compound since it is split into our possession and it at least keeps old memories alive.

"I'm sorry Akane-chan, I can't. I have to go clean up the monuments with Iruka-sensei"

That's right! "You better go then, I almost forgot that you put my name there too" I stuck my tongue out at him. "And don't forget to hold on to your dreams"

Naruto's mood seemed to cheer up. "that's right dattebayo!" He waved and we parted ways.

I continued home by myself. Everyone's parents came to congratulate them and pick them up. No one came for me, to see me succeed and get a higher rank. I suppose I miss the praise that I used to get from my parents and the Uchiha clan. After the massacre, I even thought about giving up to be a ninja. I didn't want that type of lifestyle after I witnessed it. Although I never actually saw what happened, I came home from Hinata's house on that day, only to see Sasuke crying and blood everywhere with bodies just lying on top of each other. As well as the bodies of my parents.

As I got to the compound, I saw the back of Sasuke just ahead of me. He must have gotten here just before me.

He probably felt my chakra signature near because he stopped in his steps and turned around to face me. "Why are you following me?" that's what he said. Why is he like this to me? I didn't do anything to him.

I pushed my eyebrows together in annoyance. "I'm going home, if you haven't noticed"

He raised an eyebrow at me talking back to him. "Whatever" and he continued walking. I kept walking an to some stranger it might have seemed as if I was stalking him, but I wasn't.

As I reached the house where more than half of my life took place in, I left him and walked in wordlessly. I walked in. Everything was left exactly the same as it always was before that day. I clean the house all the time when it seems as dust is settling. The only room I haven't touched since that day is my parent's room. I wanted to leave it just as it was.

I walked up the stairs and into my room. There, I changed out of my outfit and put on my pajamas. Actually, almost every type of clothes I had were my mother's. An every price of cloth had the Uchiha crest...somewhere.

I brushed my hair through once and went to sleep now. It was early, but I had to be prepared for tomorrow. It was the day we would be put on teams. Each team gets has a 3 man squad with one jounin sensei instructor.

I felt myself drifting to sleep and let it take me.
