STORY: INTRODUCTION
Kei Uchiha.
She was an excellent shinobi. Second in her clan only to Itachi. It truly was a shame that she couldn't have been stronger. If she'd been stronger, she would have lived. Her whole clan would have. History would have changed. Things that were, perhaps, would not have been. If only she'd been stronger. If only.
As I said, it really is a shame. Because she wasn't stronger. She was not weak, she simply, was not strong enough.
"Kei was destined to betray her clan."
That's what people used to say. They used to believe it. They thought Itachi would protect them from the threat within. That's why he was stronger. No one trusted her. Not her parents, her siblings, her aunts and uncles, not her grandparents. No one. She didn't trust them either.
They made sure Itachi was stronger. When the two of them were trained, he was given more attention. She didn't care. When they sparred together, they all cheered for him. She didn't care. When they praised him for his high marks at school, she didn't care. When they persecuted her, hated her. She didn't care. When Itachi killed them all, she cared.
She tried to stop him. No one knew why. Most people don't believe it. In fact, only two people do. Sasuke and Kakashi.
Only one person really knew her. Kakashi. He loved her. He stood at her grave when she died. He cried. No one else did. Only Sasuke. But Sasuke cried for his clan. She was among them, but he cried for them all. Then he stopped crying. He simply, stopped. He couldn't cry any longer, because no one comforted him.
Then, he swore vengeance. Kakashi didn't. He just, cried. He never really stopped.
No one knew Kakashi loved her, he was the only one. He had planned on telling her, he'd invited her to join him that night. He was a romantic at heart, so he wanted to tell her under the moon. That, and, he didn't want anyone else to know. He knew that there would be many people lurking in the shadows. They lived in a ninja village, after all. However, at night, he could hear much clearer, there weren't as many noises, so he could keep tabs on those around him.
She didn't need it to be night. She could hear everyone, regardless of the noises of life that would surround her. It was because she'd grown up alone. No one in her clan liked being associate with her. She never knew why, they'd never told her. Perhaps it was that her father was not accepted as one of theirs. He had been of the mist. They didn't trust the mist. Their ways were too violent.
Whatever the cause for her alienation, she was an expert when it came to pinpointing and spying. It was her specialty. She had sharpened and honed the skill, till it became second nature to her. Kakashi loved that about her. He could never sneak up on her. He'd surprised her once. Only once. He'd taken her picture. She hadn't expected it. She thought someone was going to attack her, so she had reached for her kunai.
He liked following her, as well. He tried to be sneaky, but failed at it. Terribly. She always knew where he was. After numerous times of catching the 'silver haired fool', as she called him, and threatening him should he continue to spy on her, she realized the game. She was surprised to find that she liked it. She learnt the art of teasing, and would usually stop to by an ice cream while he lurked from a distance. She found it enjoyable to eat the delicacy slowly, while Kakashi drooled on himself from some spot hidden in a tree.
He not only desired the ice cream, but her. He loved her. He had loved her for a long time. He used to watch her during class. She was always reading a book. He never caught the title, because when he thought he knew it, she would take it to the library and get another one. He always used to wonder why she did that. The Uchiha's had quite an extensive library. He knew her family didn't like her, but to the point she wasn't aloud to use their books?
He'd asked her once. He never forgot the answer. She said she hated them.
That was the only time she had ever lied to him.
Authors Note:
Well, this intro has been completed. fun, wasn't it? Well, I thought so. Now, don't let yourselves be fooled, the whole story isn't going to be this perfectly vague, quite the contrary. However, I feel it adds to dramatic effect to allow the intro to be this way. Plus, it's fun to write in such a dramatic way.
Now, I am deviating from the actual story line of Naruto ever so slightly. Mainly on the way and such of the deaths of the Uchiha clan. Don't hate me for it, it was necessary for the story to progress. Also, just because I am working on a new story does not mean I will discontinue Die Tragodie von Johann Faust VIII. I will actually be working on that at school, and this, at home! fun!
Now, for the disclaimer!
