Okay this is my very first Naruto fan fic and all it is doing is adding an extra character. If you don't know me, I just kind of play around with ideas so I don't know the pairings yet just bear with me okay?
Disclaimer: I wish, but don't, own Sasuke, Itachi or any part of Naruto. (If I did you know Naruto and Sasuke would be together forever!)
"Amaya?" my mother called from down the stairs. I opened my eyes and looked at the clock by my bed. It read 7:30. I pulled the covers over my head trying to block out sound.
"It's too early!" I complained. A small voice popped into my head. Is this how Itachi acts in the morning? Do you think that it's even slightly possible that he complains about getting up early? I groaned. The voice was right, and I did want to be as good as, if not better than, Itachi Uchiha.
I dragged myself out of bed and walked over to my closet. Looking through my clothes I picked out a black shirt with the Uchiha fan on the back and black shorts underneath a flowery pink skirt with a slit all the way up the sides. I checked myself in the mirror and smoothed out the wrinkles in my shirt.
"Amaya-kun? Are you coming?" My father asked.
"Yes father. Please wait," I said back. I quickly pulled on armbands and strapped on my equipment packs, I took one last look in the mirror and raced downstairs.
"Amaya, you need to wake up earlier if you want to have breakfast with the family," my mother said kindly. I smiled at her. She didn't know, but I didn't have time to have meals with the whole family.
"Amaya-chan?" a young voice called from outside. It was Sasuke Uchiha. He had raven black hair and pure Uchiha black eyes. He wore all black and had the Uchiha fan on the back of his shirt.
"Sasuke-kun! Mother, I have to leave okay? Sorry, I'll eat breakfast with you tomorrow," I said. My mother smiled and gave me my lunch. I slipped into my blue sandals and danced outside.
"Good morning Amaya-chan," Sasuke said. Sasuke was a very distant cousin of mine connected only by our Uchiha blood line, but he was my closest friend.
I looked around for his brother Itachi. "Where is Itachi-san?"
"He said he was busy today," he was really disappointed. I saw the frown form on his face. "He's always busy these days."
"C'mon Sasuke. Let's go to the academy. That'll take your mind off of everything. It always does," I said trying to make Sasuke feel better. He smiled and nodded.
Training at the academy was always lots of fun. Iruka-sensei made everything really interesting. The only thing I couldn't understand was the transformation jutsu. It wasn't hard; everyone except Naruto and me could do it. I could only transform other things or people, but I felt transforming myself was stupid. Why would anyone want to be anyone but themselves? I asked that once in class and Iruka-sensei only told me that it was to hide your identity and try to fool the enemy.
At the academy I was the best since Itachi. My scores were the closest to his and my grades were as good as his were. The only thing I couldn't do was the transformation jutsu.
After class that day I stayed behind. The transformation jutsu was an essential technique and it was going to be on the next test, so working on it was important. Sasuke also stayed behind to work on his knife throwing. I stopped working on my problem for a bit and watched him.
He was right-handed just like most people, so his form looked really different from mine. I watched closely when he threw watching everything from the position of his feet to his eyes, and he closed them every time he threw a knife.
"Sasuke, shame on you. How could you close your eyes when you throw? No wonder you missed the spot," I criticized. "Try it like this," I added. I took my own knife out of my equipment pack with my left hand. "By the way, I know I'm weird because of my left-handedness, but bear with me okay?" I pulled the knife over my right shoulder and when I was ready I whipped my arm out letting go just before my arm was fully extended. It hit square in the middle of the target.
"Okay," Sasuke said a little unsure. He took out another knife and adjusted his stance. Keeping his eyes open he mirrored my movements exactly. When he threw, it missed my knife by a centimeter.
"See? Your aim is already so much better!" I said clapping for him. A smile grew on his face, and he beamed at me.
"Okay Amaya-chan, but now it's my turn to help you. Let's see that transformation jutsu," he said.
I got into a primary stance and did the signs for a transformation. At the end I said "Transform!" Nothing happened, or that's what I thought.
Sasuke started to laugh, "You have your mothers eyes!" he said.
"Meaning just now you figured out that I look like her? Gee thanks Mr. Obvious, but my eyes are violet not blue," i retorted.
"No, no. You have your mother's blue eyes!" He said still laughing.
I frowned. "Well are you going to help me fix it or not?" I asked. Sasuke stopped laughing and nodded.
He moved behind me and said, "All you have to do is trust me okay? I won't let you fall. You need to let me guide you okay?" I nodded. "Your stance is slightly off, but only a little. I think you know more than anyone that it is a vital point in everything," he said. Sasuke grabbed my waist while he talked, adjusting my stance ever so slightly. "Don't forget that your signs are another part, but once you get better you'll be able to transform without making the signs or anything," he explained. This I already knew. I had seen Itachi do it so many times it was common knowledge. He formed the right signs with my hands slowly, making sure I knew them by heart.
He stepped back and said, "Okay, now try."
I did. I did the hand signs and stayed in my corrected stance and said once again, "Transform!" This time I was taller and had my mothers blood red hair instead of my strawberry-blonde and I was wearing what my mother had been wearing that morning.
"I changed back into myself and jumped onto Sasuke. "Thank you, thank you, thank you!" I said. I hugged Sasuke fiercely, when I let him go, he rolled his eyes and went back to throwing knives.
Suddenly, a dark feeling came up behind me and tapped me on the shoulder. It was weak at first and I ignored it. I knew this awful feeling, and tried to believe I did not have the sixth sense of death. I inherited it from my mother's bloodline. Her clan was almost completely gone today which is why she married out of her clan. The feeling got stronger and I couldn't ignore it anymore.
I turned. It came from my part of the village. That was impossible. No clan I knew of was dumb enough to take on the Uchiha clan. We were the strongest and deadliest of everyone in Konoha Village. I stared in that direction for what felt like a lifetime. "Sasuke," I started trying to keep my voice steady, "We should go home."
"Huh? I guess but why?" he asked. I tried to stay calm but as soon as he saw my face, he knew. He had seen me with "that" look before and knew immediately something was wrong. He grabbed his knives out of the targets and packed them up. I didn't bother getting mine. Something told me I wouldn't need it.
Something else warned me not to go back. I warned me to go somewhere else and get as far away from the place of death as I could, but my curiosity got the better of me. I started for the Uchiha part of Konoha Village at a run, with Sasuke right behind me. We ran past normal houses with the lights on, but when we got to our part of the village, every single light was out. Now my sixth sense was pushing me away, and my body was begging me not to go forward, but I went anyway,
"This makes no sense," Sasuke said. "All the lights are out, but it's not time to sleep yet. We didn't stay out that late."
"Sasuke, please be quiet," I whispered. If I was right, and I prayed that I wasn't, the entire Uchiha clan had been killed, and the person who was killing them was still out there. The killer was waiting for the youngest Uchiha's to come home from school.
As Sasuke and I walked into the square, me fears were confirmed and my sixth sense was so strong I was brought to my knees. Dead bodies lay everywhere. I could name every body on the ground. They were all Uchiha. What's going on? I thought.
"Mother? Father?" I heard Sasuke whisper. They weren't on the ground. He ran towards his house.
I tried to follow, but my body refused to move. I tried to call out to him, I tried to tell him it was safer if we stayed together, but he wasn't thinking and I couldn't talk. Something struck my mind. Move you idiot, it said. Would Itachi sit here unable to move? What about your own parent's? That got my attention. My own parents might still be alive. This single thought gave me strength to move. As soon as I was up, I ran towards my house.
Please review. I won't update without at least one review and one fan. I know that people don't like OC's but give Amaya a chance. i think she deseves it don't you?
