Hello, my' name is Uchiha Ayame. That's right, I am a member of the Uchiha clan. I'm thirteen years old, with long black hair that reaches my' hips, and onyx eyes. But for the past six years, I've been known as Teochi Hiyume. You see, when I was seven years old, My' second cousin, Uchiha Itachi, Decided to annihilate his' clan. But he missed me and I was taken to live with a friend of my' mother's in the Village hidden in Grass.

I recently found out that I am not the only surviving member of my' clan. Apparently Itachi spared his' younger brother, Uchiha Sasuke. Sasuke and I were always close. We were best friends when we were young.

I've traveled to Konoha, where I am told he lives. I want to meet him but I've decided to keep who I am a secret for a while. I've heard that Sasuke has changed a lot from when I knew him, and I'd like to observe him for a while, before revealing who I am. Sincce he believes I'm dead. It shouldn't be too difficult.

Wish me luck!


Sensei Kakashi called our team over to him. Now what? I wondered. Sakura was standing next to me, attempting to grab hold of my' hand. Ugh! As if Sakura! I crossed my' arms over my' chest, squashing her intentions.

Master Kakshi cleared his throat and said, "Now listen up! Aaaas of today, cell 7 is going to take on a new team member."

"A new teammate?! AWESOME!!" Naruto exclaimed loudly.

I looked at Kakashi in annoyance. Great! That's all I need, another Baka to slow me down. Of course with my' luck I'd get stuck with some weakling.

"Up till now, she's been training in The Village Hidden in Grass." Kakashi continued.


Sakura's head shot up. "She?"

"Yes Sakura, it's a girl, her' name is Teochi Hiyume, and from what I'm told, she's quite a fighter." Kakshi replied.

Well maybe she'll be a little stronger than these morons. I thought with a sigh.

"When will we meet her?" Naruto fairly shouted.

"Right now." Said a soft, slightly amused voice from behind. We turned to see the fifth Hokage standing there. Next to her, stood a teenage girl with long black hair, an ivory complexion, and eyes about the same color as mine. She was slender and slightly on the shorter side with a good figure. She wore mostly black, accented with gray and a little bit of white. She did not appear to be bubbly or silly like most of the girls in Konoha. Instead her' face held a look of calm seriousness.

The Fifth spoke up saying, "Kakashi Sensei, cell 7, I would like to introduce to you, Teochi Hiyume. Hiyume, this is Kakshi. He will be your' new sensei. And this is cell 7, Hurano Sakura, Uzukima Naruto, and Uchiha Sasuke.

Hiyume nodded to each of us in turn. Her' eyes met mine and I felt a shiver run up my' spine. Those eyes… they were so like the eyes of someone I had once known…


I pretended to pay close attention as the Fifth Hokage gave a little orientation speech, but I studied Sasuke out of the corner of my' eye. There was no doubt about it in my' mind that he was Sasuke. He hadn't changed much in the looks department, besides getting taller and stronger. But I saw in his' face and eyes, a certain determined hostility that I did not recognize from the old Sasuke. I felt I knew whom that hostility was meant for.

"Sakura, until other arrangements can be made, would you consent to the prospect of Hiyume staying with you?" Sakura nodded, causing her' short, pink hair to bounce up and down. "Sure Hokage, Hiyume can stay with me."

The Fifth smiled. "Thank you Sakura." Turning to Kakashi she said, "Well, I guess I'll leave the five of you to your' training."

Kakashi nodded. "Thank you for bringing Hiyume by." He said.

"Oh, no problem." The Fifth called as she walked back towards her' office.


After the fifth had left, Kakashi turned to Hiyume saying, "Well, why don't you tell us a little about your' self?"

Hiyume looked at him, an unreadable expression on her' face. "Such as?"

Kakashi smiled. "Well since we already know your' name, things like: your' hobbies, your' likes, your' dislikes, your' goals for the future… that type of thing."

I remembered back to when Kakashi sensei had asked the rest of us this very question, on our' first day training with him. We had asked him to start, so as to give us an example. His' answers had been so vague that they gave us no information whatsoever.

Hiyume nodded. "Lets see… My' hobbies, it would take to long to name them… My' likes, well anything that pleases me…"

I heard Sakura attempting to stifle a giggle.

"My' dislikes, anything that does not please me… My' goals," she smirked. "Well that's for me to know and you to wonder about."

Naruto burst out laughing and Sakura finally couldn't keep that giggle back any longer. Even I had a hard time suppressing a smile.

Kakashi nodded. "Well said. Now how about finding out some more important thing about you, shall we say… how well you can manipulate your' chakura?"

She nodded and followed Kakashi to the center of the training grounds.


After training I followed Sakura back to her' home. I was greeted by her' family, all of which were very hospitable.

It was decided that I would share Sakura's room as a visiting relative was currently occupying the guest room.

I soon learned that the Hokage couldn't have sent me to a better place. Sakura was an expert on Sasuke and it took next to no work on my' part to start her talking about him.

I smiled to my' self as Sakura continued to ramble on about his' personality. This was going to be much easier than first I had thought.


Hey everyone!

Sorry this is such a short chapter; it's pretty much an intro for the rest of the story.

But before I go any farther there is something I want to get strait right now!

I am NOT a Sasuke fan girl!! (Or any type of fan girl for that matter.)

Okay, I just wanted to make certain everyone understood that.

Anyway, I hope you liked it.

Reviews are greatly appreciated. (No flames please.)

Mata Kondo, (Until next time,)
