A second chance

Disclaimer: Naruto belongs to Masashi Kishimoto.

Loud music echoes throughout the area as a young teenage girl drives in her shiny brand new blue Toyota Yaris.

Just a simple touch,
just a little glance
makes me feel like flyin'.
But where are you tonight?
Something isn't right,
Can you please stop hiding?

"I love this car!!!" The girl yells while bobbing her head to the beat of Bulletproof by Kerli, before she sees a deer run across the road. She slams on the breaks so that she doesn't hit the deer. She scrambles out of the car (after putting it in park of course) "YOU STUPID ANIMAL!!! Watch where you're going!!" She gets back into the car and continues driving.

I'm trying not to think about
all the things you did before,
but sometimes it all just gets to me.
I can't take it anymore.
I'll stay with you,
But remember to
Be careful what you do,
Cause I'm not bulletproof
In your secret place,
Staring into space,
Leaves me feeling frozen.
I just need to feel, that what we have is real.
And I'm the one you've chosen.

She lowers the volume of her music after a rare moment of wisdom. "I think I will turn the music off. My mom is right; I can't concentrate as well when I have the music on. I finally have my own car! It's freaking awesome too! No down payment or anything like that! Although I would have preferred the Honda civic or the Honda fit. Oh well at least I got a car!" After about ten minutes of driving, slowly of course after having a near fatal accident, (fatal for her car at least) she sees a black blob. "Hmmm curiosity killed the cat. Let's look at the blob on the side of the road!" She parks her car on the side of the road. She takes the keys out of the ignition for precaution she walks toward the mystery black blob. Upon closer inspection, she discovers that 'the blob' is actually a young man, at least twenty-two years old dressed like the Naruto character Itachi Uchiha. "Damn, spot on too. If I didn't know any better, I would have thought that this dumb-ass actually was Itachi Uchiha." She looks at him for a moment trying to decide what to do. I guess I should wake him. She nudges him gently, and he grunts in response. "Hey, wake up. You're gonna get run over if you lie here." This idiot was probably already hit by or a car, either that or he decided to play ninja and had an accident. What should I do? If I take him to a hospital, the doctors will most likely think I am the one responsible. That is something that I do not need. I should take him to my house instead. If mom complains, well I'll burn that bridge when I get to it.

She inspects his wounds, before putting his arm around her shoulders and guides him to her car. The good thing is that he only has some cuts and bruises. She gently loads him into the back seats of her car before she starts her car and drives him to her house.

She half drags, half carries him to her room. I am soo lucky that no one is here. She thinks to herself. She opens the door and lays him carefully on her bed. His clothes are trashed; I should get him some fresh clothes. She gets up to find him some clothes and closes the door quietly.

While the teenage girl searched for clothes, the young man wakes up. He sits up and observes his surroundings. The room is scarcely decorated, only a desk, nightstand, dresser, bed and lamps were visible. Am I dead or am I alive? The young man thinks to himself.

Damn, that was harder than I thought.She closes the basement door, and begins to walk back to her room. She opens the door to her room, and makes eye contact with the young man. "Umm, sorry." She says as she closes the door. "Damn! That was fast! He couldn't have been asleep for more than ten minutes!" She opens the door again, walks in and closes the door behind her.

"Who are you?" the young man questions.

Whoa, not even ten minutes awake and he is already dishing out questions. She thinks before answering his question. "Kyokoro Torres. I found you on the side of the road and decided to bring you to my home and give you some much needed medical attention. What is your name?"

The young man looks at her with an unreadable expression before answering "Uchiha Itachi"

"Oh, okay Itachi. Well if you like, I have a fresh set of clothes I can get a towel for you and you can take a shower. I can also wash your clothes if you like. But if you haven't already noticed, they are trashed." Kyokoro says to him. Itachi looks at his clothes and just as Kyokoro had said, his clothes were ruined.

"I think I will take a shower, thank you" Itachi says.

"Okay" Kyokoro replies while she opens the closet door right next to the door she had just entered through. She removes a towel from her closet, replaces the door, and walks toward Itachi and offers him a hand. "Do you need any help?" He shakes his head and gets up on his own. She gives him the clothes and a towel. She walks back to the door and opens it walking to the side to let Itachi out. "You can leave the door open" she says as she leads him to the bathroom. She opens the bathroom door and lets him walk inside. "The doors are sliding, the dark blue bottle is the shampoo, the light blue bottle is conditioner, and the pink one is soap. If you like there is also bar soap. Do you need any help?"

"No, I am fine, thank you."

"Okay, I will be in the kitchen then. Just go down these stairs and make a right."

"Thank you."

"Don't mention it" She says as she walks into the kitchen.

Itachi closes the door behind him, removes his Cloak, and undresses. He puts his clothes in a corner. He opens the shower door and steps inside and closes the door. He turns the water on, and lets it soak him contemplating his situation.

"I can't believe this guy thinks he is Itachi Uchiha! It's a freakin' anime!!! One of the best anime out there I might add. He must have a concussion."

"Kyokoro-chan! I'm home! Did ya miss me?!"

"Oh shit" she says quietly "Hi mom!" she continues getting up from the kitchen chair and going downstairs to greet her mother. She hugs her mom. "Did you enjoy your day? Mom?"

"Yes I did!"

"Awesome! Umm, mommy?"

"Uh oh, did you crash your car?!"

Kyokoro looks at her mom incredulously "Oh I don't know, did you see any dents or scratches on the car when you pulled into the driveway?"

"…no"

"So then?"

"Okay, just be careful!"

"I know!"

A few moments of silence pass before her mom notices something "Kyokoro? Is someone in the shower?"

"Y-yes."

"Why?"

"Because he stunk…"

"HE?! WHO IS HE?"

"My friend"

"Do I know him?"

"No, he is a classmate from college." Kyokoro supplied quickly.

"Why is he here?"

"Because he is visiting."

"From where? Exactly?"

"Somewhere in New Jersey." Kyokoro's mother was just about to talk before Kyokoro cut her off. "Ok I am not going to lie, I swear. That would just be stupid." Her mother nods in agreement. "Not to mention a waste of time."

"That it would." Her mother agreed.

"Okay, I made a bet saying that he wouldn't go to my house. He obviously disagreed. So I gave him my address and said that I would see him sometime during the summer. We shook hands on it. I didn't expect him to come. But that isn't what has me nervous. When I was driving, I almost got into an accident because of a stupid deer that decided to bolt across the road. So after that I made sure to drive slowly and carefully. I am glad that I did, because that is how I found him."

"Okay, is that all?"

"No, I found him on the side of the road, out cold. So I put him in my car and drove him here." She pauses for a moment. "At the worst, he might have a concussion and amnesia."

"What makes you think that?"

"One he didn't recognize me." Not that he actually would, seeing as this the first time meeting him she thought. "Two, when I asked for his name out of curiosity he said his name was Uchiha Itachi."

"That's an interesting name"

"It's a name from a cartoon mom."

"I can see why you think he has amnesia."

"Yeah, which brings me to my conclusion. Just go along with it until he gets better, okay? So can he stay here?"

"Alright he can stay."

"Alright! Thanks mom!" Damn I'm good at lying! Kyokoro thinks. So the two women chat until they hear the bathroom door open. They both stop talking a listen to him go down the stairs and into the kitchen. He stares at the women.

"Hello! You must be Itachi! Well I'm Kyokoro-chan's mother, my name is Carmen and yours is?"

"Wow mom, wow. Way to fail."

"Shut up" Carmen hastily replies already realizing her blunder.

"I am not going to let you forget this." Kyokoro says while grinning.

"I'm aware." She says, beginning to grin herself. "Well, before I do anything else stupid, I'm going to go to my room and shower."

"A wise decision, mother dearest."

"Whatever." She says while walking towards her room. "Excuse me Itachi." Itachi nodded his head and moved away so that she could go up the stairs.

"Do you need any help to make sure you don't fall up the stairs?" Kyokoro asks jokingly.

"Be quiet!" Carmen says while Kyokoro laughs until she hears her mother walk into her room.

"Okay I'm done." She notices Itachi still standing. "You can sit you know." Itachi just nods and sits down. "Are you really the Uchiha Itachi?"

"Who else would I be?"

"Some random guy that looks like Itachi." Itachi raises an eyebrow. "Okay then, prove that you're Itachi. Umm, show me your Sharingan." Itachi thinks for a moment before obliging to Kyokoro and activating the Sharingan. "Whoa!"

"Do you believe me now?"

"Yes." She says while avoiding eye-contact. "You can deactivate it now." Itachi stops the chakra flow to his eyes, and the Sharingan slowly fades away. "That was soo cool."

"You are the first to say that." Itachi replies, surpised.

"There's a first for everything."

"Apparently."

"Well I have quite a bit of explaining to do."
