Okay, so I had the fabulous idea to write a short story from the point of view of Itachi days before he kills the clan.

I looked up pre-massacre stories by the way, and my story is the FIRST OF ITS KIND. I FEEL SO DAMN ACCOMPLISHED AND SMART FOR THINKING OF THIS! :3 Anyways, this is going to have maybe 10-15 chapters. At least, that's what I'm aiming for. If it's more (or less)...meh who cares?

The beginning chapter is going to start with an OC. NO, SHE IS NOT GOING TO BE A CONSTANT MAIN CHARACTER! SHE IS JUST SO I CAN START THIS SHIT OFF!

*Ahem* Anyways, as I said, I was desperately trying to find a good way to start this, but nothing was working, so I thought, 'Hey, let's make some random Uchiha girl as the first chapter, then drag Itachi in!'

It was a foolproof plan that turned out very nicely.

So now, I have this amazing story which has never been done before. Keep in mind guys, this thing was the first! Aww yea! :3333

Sorry. I'm overreacting maybe a tad bit too much.

Anyways, if you read all that jazz thanks bruh. ^.^ And now, enjoy the first chapter!

Kei Uchiha was as normal as a girl could get.

Regular straight-A grades in the academy. Good friends. Nice family. Pretty cool boyfriend.

Yes, she had it all. At least she did. Up until that night.

The night she died... And how one of her own killed her...

(Though, the story is not about her, hardly at all.)

"Kei-chan!" Satoyo whined. "Where are you going?"

Kei flashed a grin to her younger sister. "Out with Kizashi. So tell Mom that I'm going to miss Shogi tonight!" Kei called, and dashed out the door before her sister could protest any further.

Kei had been dating her slightly shy boyfriend for about 4 months now. A bit after they left the academy, he had finally gotten up the courage to ask her out.

Kei gladly accepted, knowing that her parents would disapprove. She did this slightly out of childish rebellion against the old Uchiha traditions, but mostly because she did indeed have a crush on Kizashi.

She slowed to a jog as she neared the gate to leave the compound. Luckily, there was no one there guarding the gate tonight.

Perhaps she would've just jumped over the walls, but being an Uchiha required certain...etiquette. Especially in the presence of other non-clan members.

People always thought being an Uchiha was fun and cool because it came with an amazing kekkei genkai, but it really wasn't too much different than an average life.

The only difference was the old traditions that the head of the clan, Fugaku Uchiha, stubbornly insisted upon following. And Kei's father, who disagreed with Fugaku, yet dared not defy him in fear of losing his place in the Uchiha clan council.

Yes, there was indeed a council. It was like what the Hyuuga had only more like...a dictatorship. Fugaku acted as the dictator for every meeting. Though the council was there to help make the decisions, they were used instead for show. The meetings were more like Fugaku stating what he would change and the council could agree or disagree. Regardless, whatever Fugaku said was law. Even if you disagreed with him.

Kei had left the compound and finally reached Kizashi's house which was luckily one of the closer houses to the Uchiha district.

She smiled to herself as she stepped onto the veranda. Just before she could knock however, the door was flung open and Kei was suddenly wrapped in a warm hug.

"Hey Uchiha-chan!" Kizashi said, his voice muffled by her hair.

"Kiza-kun, I told you to call me Kei for Kami's sake." Kei rolled her eyes.

Kizashi Ōkunomizu came from a normal civilian family. Or that's what most people thought. Apparently his family used to be a clan as large as the Uchiha. However they were killed off in the Mist Massacre as it was called. The Mist Massacre occurred when the Ōkunomizu clan tried to escape from Kirigakure, because of the extremely barbaric 'Entrance Exam'. The Ōkunomizu clan was already dying off, and this exam was not helping the matter.

Fearing that their secrets would be revealed, the Mist ANBU slaughtered the clan as they made their way across the countries eventually reaching Konoha, when it was just being built. Unluckily, Kizashi was the only one of his direct family to survive. His parents were killed protecting him from the ANBU. The other few survivors buried their past in the village and vowed to never touch another kunai again.

Yet one of their descendants became a very powerful ninja nearly 100 years later.

Kizashi himself was the first in a long while to inherit a kekkei genkai that was once thought forgotten. It was a jutsu called, 'Aqua Imperium' which meant 'water control'. It allowed the user to manipulate everything that contained water. They could pull the water out of the air, or cause a extreme downpour. Basically they were able to control water for as long as their chakra held out.

Since the water itself didn't need chakra to control it, the jutsu was easy to use and required very very little chakra. Best of all, the enemy could not use the water that was already under the Aqua Imperium.

For example, if a ninja used Aqua Imperium to control an entire lake, the water in that lake could not be used by the enemy until Aqua Imperium released the water.

It was a very powerful kekkei genkai. In the wrong hands, it could destroy most anything.

Which was why Kizashi was so shy. As a child, he was told by his foster parents (Both former ANBU.) to beware of the other children. They warned him of the evil of his ancestor's village, and drilled that fear into him. So when he entered the academy, he shunned every offer of friendship.

At first, the children tried again and again to be his friend, but he constantly pushed them away for fear of being hurt. Eventually, they gave up altogether.

As he grew older, he became the best in his class. Not only that, but he was old enough now to not fear the stories that his parents told him as a child. So he reached out and made a few friends.

And he made friends easily due to the fact that he was the best ninja in the academy and wasn't too hard on the eyes.

Despite that, he was still naturally a shy person. Until one day he was paired up with Kei on a group project. The two of them clicked, and received the highest grade in the class.

Ever since, the two were joined at the hip. It was like fate had destined them to be together. They became the bestest of friends. You'd never see one without the other. They even were put on the same team.

Finally, one day Kizashi decided to be bold. That was the day that he asked Kei out on a date.

And that was the day that Kei started to rebel against the unfair traditions of her clan. By agreeing to go on a date with Kizashi, she sealed her fate as 'The Uchiha girl that didn't follow tradition'. Such as the tradition of marrying another Uchiha.

Even if they weren't direct family, that still didn't change the fact that you would be marrying your own blood. Kei didn't want to marry into the Uchiha clan.

Because of her obstinance, the Uchiha elders wanted to make an example of her "bad" behavior. So they tried everything in their power to try and destroy the little social life that she had.

Which meant that she lost the only two friends she had made in the academy. Rumors were spread among the kids that she was a trouble-maker, and that you shouldn't hang around the riff-raff known as Kei.

Though all of her "trouble" was overshadowed by Fugaku Uchiha's eldest son Itachi, who was a walking miracle. His son was the epitome of perfection and the way that a child should behave.

Kei herself had never met Fugaku or any of his family. That particular Uchiha family was held with the highest regard and reverence. They had another son, two years younger than Kei, however she didn't remember what his name was. Something with an S...

Anyways, other than all of that, Kei was perhaps the most down-to-earth person you'd meet. Her and Kizashi had a good relationship, and her family loved her. That's all that mattered to her.

Kizashi was now her only friend. And only boyfriend too. And that's all she needed.

"I'll call you whatever I please Kei-san." Kizashi flashed a grin at Kei, who's heart jumped.

Stop it, she thought to herself. Why do you always get like this?

Maybe because he's a walking angel...

Kei mentally face-palmed herself. Oh Kami shut up...

But she couldn't deny that he was indeed gorgeous. His features were chiseled and he had unusual pale red eyes that sparkled with a kaleidoscope of colors. Whenever he was angry, Kei swore that his eyes turned dark red like her Sharingan.

His eyes weren't the only interesting feature. His hair was also a very bright golden color similar to the strange blonde child who lived alone (Kei wondered why the villagers seemed to regard him hatefully...). Only, his hair had more gold than blonde.

He was almost always smiling when he was around her. When he was surrounded by strangers though, he retreated into his shell. Figuratively, of course.

Only Kei could bring out the playful and lively side of Kizashi Momochi. And only Kizashi could bring out the loud and bubbly side of Kei Uchiha.

"Whatever." Kei rolled her eyes, and pushed Kizashi playfully.

"So," He smiled. "We're going to dinner at Jushirushi's tonight."

Kei gasped. "What?! No! That place cost a fortune!"

"Exactly. I've been saving up for ages!" Kizashi grabbed her hand and pulled her away from his house and into the street.

"C'mon, let's go!"

"Kizashi!" Kei protested. "I'm not even wearing anything fancy!"

"Neither am I" He replied with a shrug. "Besides, so long as we can pay, they'll be fine."

"But-!"

"Nope. We're going there. Besides, I hear that everything there is locally grown. And it's completely fresh. Apparently they have a garden on the roof. Can you imagine? I hope they have tomatoes there. Because-"

"Okay, okay!" Kei said with a laugh. "Shut up, I get it!"

Kizashi gasped mockingly. "How dare you tell me to shut up! Is that proper behavior for a proper Uchiha woman like thyself?"

Kei rolled her eyes. "Screw you Kiz-chan."

Kizashi looked mortally wounded and insulted. "Kiz-chan?"

"Yup. I've decided that that will be your nickname whenever you start teasing me."

"But," Kizashi frowned. "Kiz-chan? Seriously?"

Kei laughed, and pulled him along.

"C'mon you weirdo."

Again. Kizashi looked insulted.

"You think I'm weird?"

"Yup." She replied.

They walked in silence for a few moments before Kei mumbled with a slight blush. "But you're my weirdo."

Kizashi smiled softly.

"I love you too." He whispered and squeezed her hand gently.

The rest of the walk was spent in comfortable silence between the two teenagers.

Whew! There you go! This took ages for me to type, and is probably going to be ages before it gets published! Because I want to try and pre write all of the chapters like I'm doing for my other Naruto story 'Castle of Glass'. You should read it. It's SasuSaku.

Well thanks for reading this. I love you, you fab motherfucker you! :3
