A/N: Actually this was planned as a One Shot but Naeko has just too much personality to fit it all into one chapter. The story takes place about 23 years after Shippuuden, parings mentioned are NaruHina and SasuKar- all others you will most likely figure out from the description I give of the kids. I have about half of this fic done so far, but I might alter some things if you (don't) like them.
I don't own anything and I don't earn anything either. This is fiction. Enjoy.
Second Fiddle
I hate them. It's nothing personal, really... just the fact that they are my oh-so-perfect older siblings.
Wherever I go, whatever I do in this damn village, every citizen of Konohagakure is always telling me how perfect they are. My older brother who is the heir to the infamous Hyuuga Clan and excels at every clan technique they teach him and my older sister who is the most beautiful girl in all of fire country and just so much like your father.
Growing up I didn't want to hate them. No little child wants to hate their siblings and so I didn't, or at least I tried to - because it became really obvious really fast there is no way for me not to hate them. My parents wanted them and they came out of Mum's bomb exactly as they were supposed to be, unlike I who was an... well, they call it joyful surprise and I call it a train wreck that wasn't supposed to happen.
I do not, ever, say that my parents don't love me, because it would be a big fat lie and even at age twelve I'm pretty aware of that. Mum and Dad love me as much as they love them, and that unfortunately doesn't make my situation any easier.
It's just that after two picture perfect kids there obviously weren't enough good genes left for me. Anyone with a touch of reality should be aware of that, but of course I am the only one in this family to notice. My parents are blinded by love and therefore biased and it's not like my older siblings really notice since they usually are too busy to spare me a glance.
That they are eight and five years older than me respectively doesn't make it any better either, because it means that I'm either left behind, forgotten or told to stay at home when they go out with their friends. They have a lot of them but of course there weren't many kids born after the oh-god-the-war-is-over-lets-have-kids generation that my siblings belong to and I get their leftovers as usual.
I'm used to playing second fiddle to them by now: Uzumaki Naeko, little sister of the prodigy Uzumaki Kaito and the famous prankster girl Uzumaki Natsu.
