I run through the night as I make it to the forest. The drums began as it echos around me, "hunting me down as a prey? Oh… Why does my real name have a curse..." I trip over some roots that I didn't see while running. I landed on some mud and it covered my bruises and cuts because I escape from jail. "Ouch… That hurts," I started to cry, "I won't let you have me. I will escape this." The drums got louder and louder. I shook my head, "Think, climb up to the tree? Good idea." I climb up as I made it to the tree branch. "Come on, just like my dad showed me." I jump the other tree branch and keep on going.

The drums behind me have gotten a lot farther. I looked behind for a moment to see lights coming towards me. I went to my left to lose them. I keep on going, "come on, Aki. Where to go?"

I jump the last tree branch and in front of me was an open field. I looked behind me and the lights were inches away. "I have no choice, do I?" I jump down as I fell on my side. I was so tired that I couldn't stand up as fast. I hold onto the tree as I looked behind, "you won't catch me." I made a run for it knowing all eyes were on me. I notice they were shooting arrows. I dodge each one as I continue to reach the other side. I made it when my left arm got hit by an arrow. I hold onto my left arm as I jump up to land on a tree branch. "My arm..." I hold my arm tightly as I keep on going. "I can't lose to them, not now. Not yet!" I yelled.

…

(Sasuke)

"Itachi!" I yelled at the empty house. I found it weird that he isn't at the house, plus he woke me up. "I wonder where he went to?" I cross my arms as I headed out to look for him.

…

(Itachi)

I was walking around when I heard someone in the bushes that was onto my right. I took out my kunai knife. "Come out!" I spoke a little bit loud for them to hear me.

A woman comes out, she was badly injured with an arrow in her left arm. "Save me," before she even fell, I grab onto her as she changed into a little girl. She was very dirty and has cuts on her face and arms. Also, covered in mud. We looked into each other eyes. Her eyes were violet. "You aren't one of them please I beg you. Don't say my name." She fell asleep.

I sweat drop, "you fell asleep just like this?" I picked her up like a bride to take her to the hospital. Once there, they took her in. The nurse told me to stay so I can fill out paperwork, which I didn't know anything about her. I waited in the waiting room since she didn't have anyone to claim her. After her surgery, I went to see her inside of the room. The girl has long white hair and wearing the uniform of the hospital. She was resting peacefully.

"There you are." I turn around to see Sasuke closing the door of the room.

"How you know, I was here?" I cross my arms and raised an eyebrow.

"I went to find you when I saw you going inside of the hospital. I waited a little longer, but you didn't come out. I just wanted to come in. Who is she?" He walks up to her.

"Don't know. I just found her wounded." I turn my head to see her.

"Wounded?" He keeps asking questions. I remain quiet. She wakes up to look at us with those violet eyes. She stares at Sasuke for a moment than at me. "Where am I?"

"You are safe, you are in the Konoha village, hospital," I said.

"Hospital? What is that?"

Sasuke looks at me and back at her. "You don't know, what is a hospital?"

"No." She stands up looking out the window. "I just keep on running and running for hours. It's probably 5 am, now."

"It is. Can you tell us what happened to you?" I had to ask. She says nothing. "Who are you?"

She looks at us. "Nice to meet you. I am… I don't know."

"You don't remember?" I asked.

"Remember? What happened to me?" She asked.

"She clearly won't make it on her own, Itachi." Sasuke pulled up a chair and sits.

"We won't take care of her, the house isn't ours," I said to him.

"What is a house?" I think she is clearly messing with us.

A nurse comes in. She has long black hair with the white nurse uniform. Also, has blue eyes. Sasuke doesn't even look at the nurse when he says, "nurse, she suffers from memory loss."

"Who are you?" The girl without a name asked the nurse.

"I am Lily. I'll be your nurse. Can you remember anything before coming to the hospital?"

"What is a hospital?" She asked again.

"A place where you can recover, I'm going to see if you a fever." Lily went up to her to touch her forehead. "Don't touch me!" The girl moves away from her.

"I didn't mean to..."

"Go away!" She looks traumatized, scared, confused, and alone all in one expression. I seem whatever has happened to her before I picked her up, was horrible for her.

"I'm here to help, that's what nurses do. You can trust me." Lily put her hand out.

"No!" She smacks Lily's hand away. The nurse pulls her hand back while holding it. The girl puts the covers over her as she lays down. Her crying and sobbing made us sad to hear.

"Come on, let's give her some time alone," Lily says. We all left her room. I close the door on the girl.

…

Sasuke and I headed home and the following couple of hours. We went back to the hospital to check on the girl after lunch time. Once in the hospital, we made it to the room. Sasuke opens the door as I enter behind him. She was taking out her band-aid from her body.

"What are you doing?" I asked.

"You are Itachi, Sasuke?" She says.

"Yes, that is correct. What about you?" I asked.

"No, I won't mention my name. It brings nothing but bad luck. I was lucky to get out. I won't ever return to my old name."

Sasuke and I looked at each other and back at her. "What do you mean?" We said at the same time.

"My name is a curse. Once you say it, it will bring you bad luck. Shall we go? I would like to see this village."

"Are you okay?" Sasuke says.

"Yes, I am. Just call me, Aki."

"Aki? How about Violet?" The ceiling crack for no reason.

"My name isn't that word. It won't ever be. Can you take me around the village?" She walks up to me. I notice she was wearing a green dress with no shoes.

"Where are your shoes?" Sasuke asked as I smack his shoulder.

"Shoes? What are shoes?" I was surprised. "You don't have memories lost, you just don't know what are things and items."

"What are you talking about?" She asked confused as she moves her head to the left.

"Ah, this is good." Sasuke and I turn around to see Hokage Minato.

"What do you mean, Hokage?" Sasuke crosses his arms.

"You were the ones that have taken her to the hospital. Now, it's your job to stay with her until she recovers her memories." Minato crosses his arms.

"She..."

"Who are you?" She asked.

"I am Hokage, Minato."

"Hokage?" She says.

"Don't you have a name?"

"No, I don't." She says seriously.

Minato smiles, "let's call you. Violet." The ceiling falls almost on her. She jumps out of the way just in time. "Just Aki."

"It's time to give the hospital a little bit more money to fix their roof. Aki, I can't leave you with that name. Why you don't pick out a lovely name so we can call you by."

Aki stands up. "Call me Aki. Stop calling me… Vo..." More the ceiling falls in. "Shall we leave before this room falls in?"

"Aki? That's a lovely name, well. Are you feeling well today?" Minato asked as we walked out the room.

"Yes, I am. I want to walk around this village today." She says.

"Aki, you should be resting. I heard you had an arrow in your left arm that they took away today." Minato says.

I just realized no one cared about the ceiling that just caved in. I didn't want to ruin the moment. I wonder if the girl is okay.

"That isn't the first arrow. I am used to it. I am leaving now." She took off.

Minato stops. "Sasuke, Itachi go keep an eye on her. She is intruder that came into this village. Aki has no records in any village or anywhere. She could be a threat to Konoha village."

"Very well," Sasuke says as he took off. I followed him. We track her down as she was walking around the village.

She bumps into Naruto. "Hey… Oh, you're new." Naruto says.

"That is right. I am new. You are?"

Naruto blushes as he places his right hand behind his head. He was smiling brightly, "I'm Naruto Uzumaki and you?"

"Aki."

"Aki? That's a strange name. I like it." He says.

"Naruto, can you show me around? I rather live here than my old village."

"So, you run away?" He says.

"Yes, I did. I am hungry, do you know where we can eat?" Aki looks around.

I walked up to her. "She doesn't have any money. What can she eat without any money?"

"Yeah, Naruto. We can take over here. You can go now." Sasuke says.

Naruto crosses his arms. "Who asked you, Sasuke?" They had a rivalry connection when Aki says, "you both hate each other with a passion." Naruto and Sasuke looked away because of her.

I smirk a little. Aki walks away. Sasuke and I followed her. Naruto stays behind. She would look at items and see people eating. Someone step on her feet. She tries to hide it, but we all know it hurts.

"Sasuke. Stay with her. I'll be back." I went to a store to buy some shoes. I bought the shoes and went to find them. They were in front of a shop. "Here, this is for you. Aki."

She grabs the bag and opens it. "What is this?"

"It's for your feet."

"Feet?" Aki places the shoes on the ground as she puts it on. "You're welcome." She says.

I was confused, but I smiled. "It's thank you, I'll say you're welcome."

"Oh… I'm hungry." We walked together.

"Why can't you have a name?" Sasuke asked.

"It's better if you call me, Aki. Now, take me to a place where I can eat."

"I know where we can eat. Come with me." Sasuke says.

"Lead the way." Aki follows Sasuke. I followed them. We made it home.

I cross my arms, "why here, Sasuke?"

"I am not wasting money on her." He went upstairs and went inside. Aki went inside. I followed again. Once inside, I went to the kitchen to see Sasuke started to cook right away. It was odd for him to do such kindness. Aki walks up to the table to pull up a chair to sit. Aki waited until the food was ready. I sat next to her. "Why, can any of can learn about your real name?" Sasuke asked the ultimate question.

Aki looks at him and smiled. "What place do you hate, the dark, the isolation? Perhaps, you don't like being alone for years to come. Maybe a curse you are a feared off. A curse that could fall on you and your family that could ruin everything you have ever worked for. It's called fear, a fear that you can't ever escape. It's called a nightmare. A nightmare that could never wake up from." The lights flickered after her speech. Sasuke and I felt a depression come over us. "Is your food is almost ready, Sasuke?" She asked with a smile.

"That was depressing," I said.

"I am depressing, Itachi?" Aki turns her head to me.

I looked away, "you must have a name. Which it is?"

"My real name is the color of my eyes."

"Violet?" We heard an explosion in the living room causing me to stand up. "Sasuke, stay here with Violet." Another explosion happened. I hurry to the living room to see two windows exploded, the glass was on the floor. I went outside to the backyard to see no one around.

"I'm home!" I looked behind me. It was my mother's voice. I close the door to the backyard. She comes into the living room. "Itachi..."

"Mom, it just exploded. I don't see any rocks or anything like that. No one was outside at the moment when this window exploded."

"Is that so? I'll clean up." She walks towards the kitchen to grab the broom. I looked around for anything else that I miss.
