I know, I'm getting crazy with the whole writing thing, seeing as though I'm most-likely writing more than I can handle…heh, heh, heh… I just have this really bad habit of getting a bunch of ideas and writing them before I forget them….if I'm lucky, this one will at least work out a little better…than the other….what, five stories or something? Ok, Just to let you know, Akari is as old as Itachi in this story, and Itachi is older than Sasuke by…four years…it's my fic, so I don't care if its wrong. Also, Kakashi is gonna be six years older than Akari and Itachi…also Itachi is younger than Akari by a month and a week. Also, last add in, Akari is Sasuke and Itachi's cousin.

Well here's the full summary:

"So there's actually another Uchiha massacre survivor? But she's nothing like Sasuke! She's clumsy, nice, and a girl! She barely has any ninja skills and she works at a BOOKSTORE!" Naruto exclaimed. "Well, Naruto, as surprising as it is, it's a hundred percent true." Kakashi stated. "You hafta be kidding me." "Sorry to say, but nope."

Interesting, ne, ne?


Through Konoha, a blond-headed ninja in training walked. This boy as you should know of, is Naruto Uzumaki, the number one knuckle headed ninja—or as he would like it, future Hokage! Naruto had just finished his lunch from the Ichiraku Ramen stand and walked back home, stomach full—and pockets empty… Then, he noticed a person, carrying a large stack of books. The stack was so large, that it towered over the poor person—with that, the person also happened to wobble, a lot, while trying to walk and balance all the books.

Then Naruto noticed something oddly particular about those books…they all happened to be books of the 'Icha Icha' series, "Hey, those are the perverted books that Kakashi-sensei reads!"

"W-wahh!" the girl was surprised by the sudden talking and deftly tripped—over air. And all the books went tumbling down…scrambled all over the floor.

"Oh, no!" a girl's voice shouted in dismay, "The books! Oh, I'm really sorry, did any of them hit you?" the girl looked at him with worry.

"Don't worry about me, Nee-chan; you should be worrying about those books instead. You know, those are really perverted. I don't suggest you read them, they're really bad for you!" Naruto exclaimed.

"Oh, these aren't mine. I work at the bookstore 'Himitsu Yume,' and I was just making a delivery!" she stuttered.

"Oh, well, I'm Uzumaki, Naruto, future Hokage of Konoha!" the blond haired boy pointed proudly at himself.

"O-oh, Uzumaki-san, nice to meet you, I'm Akari Uchi—Tsukihara." Akari stuttered, she had almost admitted she was an Uchiha!

"Akari Uchi-Tsukihara-neechan?" Naruto stared at Akari oddly.

"N-no, j-just, Akari Tsukihara…," she grinned wryly.

"Oh, okay then, Akari-neechan!" Naruto grinned largely.

"Oh, what do we have here?" It was Hatake, Kakashi, the copy-cat ninja—surprise, surprise!

"Ah, H-hatake-san, your books—I wass gonna deliver them—but, you're here and—here they are!" Akari stuttered, flustered while handing Kakashi the 'Icha Icha' books.

"Thank you, Akari-san," he smiled a smile that most girls would melt at, but Akari was too busy blushing to notice.

"Akari-neechan, you're turning as red as a tomato." Naruto pointed out.

"I-I am?" She blushed even more.

"Do you have a fever?" Naruto pushed his hand to her forehead, but by then, she was already knocked out by all the blood rushing to her head.

"Akari-neechan?!" Naruto panicked, "Kakashi-sensei, what happened?"

"She just passed out, don't worry. The blood probably rushed to her head and she fainted," Kakashi said, without worry.

"Kakashi-sensei, how can you say that without even a care?!" Naruto shouted, but then noticed that Kakashi was already occupied with a 'Icha Icha' book. 'No wonder, that pervert!' Naruto thought angrily.

"Kakashi-sensei, I'm gonna take her to the Tsunade-baachan!" Naruto shouted as he picked her up with a piggy-back ride.

"Sure, sure," Kakashi not even paying attention, walked off with his books.


At the Hokage's office…

"Tsunade-baachan, I have a patient that needs you help!" Naruto shouted as he barged into her office.

"You, brat, don't come barging into my office like that!" Tsunade pounded Naruto on the head.

"OW—but Tsunade-baachan, Akari-neechan is hurt!!" Naruto yelped.

"Akari-chan?" Tsunade stopped to listen.

"Yeah, Akari-neechan!" Naruto shouted.

"What did you do to her?" Tsunade hit him again.

"OUCH! I didn't do anything obaa-chan!" Naruto yelled while trying to nurse the giant bump forming on his head.

"If you didn't do anything, then why is she unconscious?" Tsunade glared.

"U-um, w-what's g-going o-on?" Akari asked as she suddenly but slowly woke up.

"Oh, Akari-neechan, you're awake!" Naruto shouted.

"Quiet down, you fool!" Tsunade shouted then softened her tone, "Akari-chan, how are you feeling?"

"O-oh, Tsunade-sama, how nice to see you, I'm fine, thank you," Akari smiled cheerfully.

"Akari, I found out on your medical records that you haven't had a check up since you were 10, is that true?" Tsunade asked.

"Y-yes," she replied meekly.

"How about I give you one, free of charge?" Tsunade grinned.

"That's a first—free of charge—pfft," Naruto scoffed, but in turn got whacked on the head, "OUCH!"

"As I was saying…how about it?" Tsunade smiled kindly. Tsunade had grown to like Akari's tentative shyness and found the stuttering cute, but in its own way annoying.

"I-I r-really don't—I'm sorry—I shouldn't—I can't…," Akari stammered in reply.

Tsunade softly whacked her on the forehead, "Akari-chan, you're seventeen, you need to grow out of that stuttering habit. And I insist you get a check-up. What if you have some dangerous disease? We'd have to treat it before it got serious!" Tsunade said sternly.

"O-ok," and with that Akari gave in to Tsunade's pestering.

So Akari got her weight and height measured, a blood-test was taken, and she was examined for any other extra info and diseases.

"The blood-test will be the final thing to make sure you're all healthy—so far you're good, but we just wanna make sure," Tsunade announced, "The results will be in by tomorrow."

"That's good news!" Naruto clapped.

"Yeah, I guess…," Akari said with worry… 'What if they find out that I'm an Uchiha? What will I do? I might have to go into hiding, or the ANBU might have to keep me locked up or I might hafve to be watched at all time like a criminal on the loose or—GET A HOLD OF YOURSELF AKARI!' Akari scolded herself, 'Oh, who am I kidding… I have no skills, I'm not a ninja, I just a good BOOKWORM!' she cried silent mental tears.

"Oh, the results are in early!" Tsunade grinned then her eyes widened ten-fold, "Akari—you're an UCHIHA?!"

"I'm caught, red-handed…," she smiled weakly…

Later, with Naruto (Naruto had been forced to leave when Tsunade was inspecting Akari.)


Naruto had just walked out of the office and he could hear it coming from the window, just barely he heard the words, "Akari—you're an Uchiha?!"

Naruto's eyes bulged and then he raced towards the first person he could think of—Sasuke. Naruto ran like the wind…

"Sasuke-bastard! Sasuke-bastard!" Naruto yelled as he spotted Sasuke training as Kakashi supervised.

"What do you want, dobe, I'm in the middle of training and I'm trying to focus—unlike you." Sasuke glared.

Naruto glared back, " Fine then, then I won't tell you the super-crazy, super-true things I heard!" Naruto stuck his tongue out.

"What are you blabbing about now?" Sasuke glared even more.

"I found out that there's another U-C-H-I-H-A besides you!" Naruto stuck his tongue out even more, but pulled back as Sasuke skimmed a kunai right past it.

"Yeah, there were more Uchihas besides me—except they're all D-E-A-D!" Sasuke aimed another kunai at Naruto, this time intending not to miss.

"NO, she's alive!" Naruto shouted.

"She?" Sasuke for once, out of character, blinked in surprise.

"Yeah, Akari-neechan is an Uchiha!"

"Akari…?" this time both Kakashi and Sasuke stared at him oddly.

"Yup!"

"Dobe, this time, you've gone too far!"


Sudden Flashback…

"Akari-neechan, these cookies taste great!" a younger (before the massacre) Sasuke munched on a chocolate chip cookie.

"I'm glad you like them Sasuke-chan!" a younger Akari smiled softly. Sasuke seemed to be the only one that she didn't stutter around, so that meant she completely trusted him.

"Mmhm!" Sasuke grinned with a chocolate smeared mouth.

"What, Akari-chan, I can't have one?" Itachi pooped up all of a sudden and grinned mischievously.

"O-of c-course y-you c-can I-itachi-san," Akari stuttered while offering the plate of cookies.

"Mm, these are good!" Itachi grinned while also munching on the cookies, looking a lot like Sasuke—mouth chocolate smeared.

"Sasuke, wipe your mouth," Akari scolded as she cleaned his mouth with a wet napkin.

"What about me?" Itachi teased while pointing to his dirty mouth.

"YOU WISH!" Akari shouted as she blushed.

"Akari-neechan looks like a tomato!" Sasuke giggled. Akari just blushed even harder than she fainted from the blood-rush.

"Akari-neechan fainted…," Sasuke stated.

And in unision with Itachi, continued, "—Again."


Sasuke nailed Naruto onto a tree with seven kunai sticking to his clothes…all so close to his skin…

"What did you do that for?!" Naruto shouted.

"No reason in particular—I just felt mad at you." Sasuke grumbled.

"What?!"


Ten minutes later, when Sasuke agreed with Kakashi to let Naruto down…

"So there's actually another Uchiha massacre survivor? But she's nothing like Sasuke! She's clumsy, nice, and a girl! She barely has any ninja skills and she works at a BOOKSTORE!" Naruto exclaimed.

"Naruto, you're the one that came running to tell us that." Sasuke glared.

"But, I mean like, Tsunade-baachan gave Akari-neechan a blood-test…and she said Akari-neechan was an Uchiha."

"Well, Naruto, as surprising as it is, it's a hundred percent true. Since Tsunade did a test…," Kakashi stated.

"You hafta be kidding me."

"Sorry to say, but nope."

"…," Sasuke stayed silent as he thought, 'So it's true, you are a live, Akari-neechan…So I'm not the only one besides the traitor left…'

"Sasuke, why are you so quiet, I thought you'd be jumping for joy?" Naruto asked obliviously.

"Hn," and with that sasuke raced off into the trees.

"What's up with him?" Naruto scoffed.

"He just needs a little time to think," Kakashi grinned pervertedly as he turned the next page of his 'Icha Icha' book.

"Oh…,"


"Akari-neechan…," Sasuke whispered as he ran through the trees. Silently, a single tear ran down his face…
"So you are alive, Akari-chan," a voice smiled, "How I've missed you…I thought you might have died in that fire during the great Uchiha massacre…"

"Itachi, what are we waiting for?" a literally fishy looking guy asked his partner.

"Not yet Kisame, I want to see how this drama will unfold before we attack…," Itachi replied.

"What are you plotting…?" Kisame looked at Itachi suspiciously.

"…," but there was no reply.


I'm gonna end it here! Thanks for reading, please leave a review, and I hope you all like it! Where is Sasuke heading? What is Itachi planning? It'll all be in the future of this story…also if you have any pairings you'd like, character pairings or any decisions on who Akari might be paired with please tell me….also I'd prefer a pairing decision of someone Akari's age or at least close—preferably not any of the genin teams?

Also, incase you might wanna know the meaning of Akari's work place, Himitsu Yume...I just combined the words Himitsu (Secret) and Yume (Dream) to form the literal term "Secret Dream"
