Prologue: Rebirth
Shisui choked for air, tried to grasp for something –anything to get a hold on. Her lungs were burning painfully and her entire body was aching. She couldn't even think clearly. Was this how her victims felt whenever she put them in her deadly Genjutsu where getting out was almost impossible? Her fingers twitched and they pushed, something was pushing her but she couldn't see what it was. Darkness was obscuring her sight, it was rendering her useless, she who depended on her sight as if her life was on the line, she who could kill someone with her eyes alone, was blind. Oh, the irony. She didn't know whether to laugh or cry at the situation she was put in. Life sure was cruel. Didn't she die by Itachi's hands after Danzo had taken her eye? Then why was she alive and able to feel at the same time. There was something wrong but she couldn't focus, the pain was too much.
Suddenly the same foreign strong force pushed her out and she had to blink her eyes at the light that was blinding her. For some reason she couldn't move her hands and then she felt someone grabbing her upside down, the sudden move sent a wave of air right at her face and she scrunched up her nose in annoyance. The pain was subduing slowly on until she felt nothing more than an ache on her lungs. Squirming, she tried to get free but the hold was tight, not hard enough to break her bones, just to ensure she wouldn't fall.
It was starting to irritate Shisui, this situation was unnerving her completely. How come her body felt so loose, so uncontrollable? She was getting scared at this fact. Could it be that she was alive and in hands of the enemy? No, Itachi made sure that her body wouldn't be found. He had promised her. He had promised her, damnit!
Her eyes snapped open when someone spanked her. How dare they? So humiliating... An angry growl escaped her lips but her ears picked up a weird gurgling sound and then a loud, piercing cry. More precisely a baby cry, her eyes widened even more when she concluded where that voice was coming from.
Holy shit! That was coming out of her lips?! No! No! Absolutely not! She refused to believe that! She had died, died by her best friend's hand. She couldn't be alive, she couldn't be crying, she couldn't possible been revived and send back in time.
Oh how wrong Shisui was.
She was angry. She was confused. She was tired. She was sleepy. She was scared. She was feeling all these aching, chaotic emotions within her, making her restless. Her mind was trying to come up with a solution but it was useless.
1. These people felt like strangers.
2. She was alive.
3. And somehow she was in a baby's body.
Still, after she had analysed those parts, she couldn't believe it. That wasn't the most confusing part. No, the fact that she was looking up to a stranger's face was the thing that unnerved her the most. This was not even the face of her mother! Hell, that man wasn't even her father. She didn't understand her situation, she was getting crazy over here.
So many questions were roaming her head and she had the urge to cry but she didn't want to. Her stupid infant body wanted to cry but her pride wasn't letting her. She would not cry. She was a grown-up women, a strong kunoichi, respected and feared by many of her comrades and enemies. She wold not stoop that low to cry.
Who was she trying to convince? She sounded like an insane person!
Then she heard something that shock her very core.
"Madara, Izuna, this will be your sister." The woman's gentle voice carried in her ears, "Her name will be Shisui, Uchiha Shisui." Her eyes bulged out at that. They were naming her Shisui. Woman, my name is Shisui, you aren't being very creative. Even if she had named her after something else, she would still refer herself as Shisui. That was the name her father, Uchiha Kagami, and her mother, Uchiha Noriko, had given her.
But those names… Madara. And Izuna. Could they somehow be related to Uchiha Madara, her ancestor and co-founder of Konoha? And Izuna, as in Madara's brother?
Her head throbbed painfully and she wanted to lash out someone or something. Many arguments but nothing seemed real, even to her own ears they seemed insane. Oh Kami, she was feeling as if she was breaking down or something. Her eyes widened then, maybe she could use her chakra? Concentrating carefully, she felt the flicker of her chakra, on some miraculous way her chakra was warming up to her. It could feel the soul and it twitched in recognition.
A smile blossomed in her face, at least something was going good. Trying again, she used the release technique. She was very good at Genjutsu but she couldn't detect any Genjutsu but maybe… If she tried to dispel it she would wake up in her real body? Why did that sound like a question to her?
She frowned in annoyance, twitching her fingers and commanding them to move. Her fingers wouldn't move like she wanted, no matter how much she tried. She couldn't make a stupid hand seal, she couldn't bite her own tongue. She was useless. Even the way she spoke sounded gibberish. Damnit, how do babies survive like this? It was so inhuman to live like this, being dependent of these people she didn't even know. How could she trust strangers? Simple, she couldn't.
Feeling angry, she tried to pull her hands but her fingers couldn't even grasp those stupid –black?- strands.
Alright, she was in an infant's body, her name was Uchiha Shisui –surprise, surprise- she had two brothers, she wasn't sure of that, whose names were Uchiha Madara and Izuna. Now the question was what happened to her? Why was she here when in reality she was a seventeen year old woman?
Why was this happening to her?
So I decided to write a story about Shisui who is a female, by the way, and woke up in a baby's body. I don't think anyone wrote something like this? If I'm wrong correct me. You can see how poor Shisui is getting confused, poor girl, I'm so mean to her. The prologue is kind of short but hey, it's a prologue, what did you expect? Of course, the chapters will be longer, around the 4000 words. If anyone has some suggestion, correction or anything else, please review. I would like to see what you guys think about it.
