Chapter 1

3rd Person P.O.V.

A deadly battle raged on between two clans. Each one was trying to get the upper hand. A mother was holding onto a picnic basket containing a small girl. She was crying as her mother was holding her in a basket. Her mother could hear someone gaining on her. She tripped over something and the baby fell down the river in the basket. The mother screamed as her child fell. The baby screamed and landed in the river. When the mother was caught…she was executed.

Itachi's P.O.V

It's been a week since we had been to the base. Leader was holding a meeting. Kisame and I could not be late to this meeting. Leader would have our heads if we did. Kisame was walking so slowly. I wanted to chop his head off. I was starting to get ticked. "Kisame, hurry up, we are going to be late for the meeting. You know how Leader is when he's angry. I don't want to get chewed out because of your slowness!"

"I'm coming, I'm coming," he muttered under his breath, but it was loud enough for me to hear. I sighed the only reason that we were walking slowly was because we were walking through an abandoned city. It looked as if two clans had a very deadly battle. It seemed that no one had survived. It was actually a sad sight to see.

Kisame stopped in front of me and I ran into him. I was annoyed that he stopped right in front of me. "Why did you stop?"

"I hear something coming from over near the river," Kisame said. He knew when there was water near us a mile away. I could hear something too though. The river wasn't that far off from us .

"Oh, I can hear it too," I responded. It sounded like crying though.

"I'm going to check it out," I heard Kisame say. I grabbed him by the cloak. Had he forgotten that we had to go back to the base?

"No, you're not!" I yelled at him.

"Please, Itachi," he asked me.

"Fine, but we have to hurry," I responded letting go of his cloak. We walked over to the river when we got there the first thing I saw was a very long basket. I picked the basket up and from inside the basket there was crying. When I peered into the basket there was a little girl that looked about two years age inside. She was wearing a black sweater with red hearts on it. She was also wearing blue jeans. At least she was dressed for the weather. When I put her on the ground the little girl tried to run.

I picked her up before she could. She was crying wildly and screaming for her mother. When she saw Kisame she cried even harder. "Who awe you?"

"What's it to you, kid," Kisame asked rudely. I sighed when she started to cry again. She was holding onto me tightly. I slapped Kisame with my free hand and she giggled a little bit. I did it again and it set her off laughing. She was so cute.

"What's your name, honey," I asked her. She looked at me for a little bit and her dark eyes filled with tears. She was shaking, but it was probably because she was scared.

"Amaya," she said in a quiet tone. She leaned into me and I couldn't help, but my heart melting for this little girl.

"We should take her back to the base," I said to Kisame as she was falling asleep. The little girl was getting comfortable on my shoulder. Kisame looked at me weirdly. I sighed, but knew it was the right thing to do. We did find her alone. She was in a basket crying her eyes out.

"Why," Kisame asked. I looked at him as if he was the stupidest thing on the planet. He just looked back at me with a glare, but he knew why we were going to take her back to the base with us. She was still just a baby.

"She's alone, Kisame, she could die out here if we don't do something," I said glaring at him.

"Whatever," he said. She was sleeping the whole way back to the base. Kisame and I talked quietly so we didn't wake her up. When we arrived home I placed her on the couch. She was still sleeping soundly when I went into the kitchen. I was just glad that we had gotten back in time for the meeting. I was making myself something for lunch. I was starving and I bet Amaya was going to be starving too when she woke up.

"This little girl looks so tasty," I heard Zetsu from the living room. I ran into the living room and snatched up Amaya. I couldn't have him eat her.

"Zetsu, you can't eat her," I told him. Kisame was laughing at the moment from the kitchen. I shot him a glare.

"Awe, come on. I haven't had a human in forever," Zetsu said.

"You can't have this one either," I yelled to him.

"Awe, she looked so tasty too," Zetsu said. I sweat dropped, sat down on the couch, and put Amaya in my lap. She was still napping which was good because none of us knew what to do with her. A few minutes later Amaya woke up and started crying.

"What's wrong, honey," I asked trying to sooth her.

"I'm hungwey," she said. I picked her up and brought her into the kitchen. I sat her in a chair. I was figuring out what to make her for lunch.

"What do you want to eat," I asked her. She looked at me for a minute. She was still pondering herself. She smiled when she thought of what she wanted.

"Banana!" she exclaimed. I wasn't sure if we had any bananas in the house. This was going to be a problem. I was looking all around her bananas in the kitchen. The only things that we had were junk food in the house. Why did we only have to have junk food?"

"How about you have macaroni and cheese," I asked her because that's what I was making myself for lunch.

"No nana! I want nana!" she said. I sighed because I knew that she wasn't going to change her mind. Kisame walked back into the kitchen. I was glad because then I could leave her with him so Zetsu wouldn't eat her.

I was searching around the rest of the house for a banana. I then saw Konan with a banana. I went up to her. "Can I have that banana? Please."

"No, it's the last banana and I want it. Why do you need a banana anyway? If you really want a banana we can go to the store," Konan said. I sighed then I started to think.

"Ouch!" I heard a yell from the kitchen. When I walked in there was a funny sight. Amaya was biting Kisame. I couldn't help, but laugh. Kisame looked a little bit mad. He was trying to bite her back so I snatched her up.

"You can bite her back. She's a baby," I told him in a stern voice.

"Nana?" she asked me. Konan had followed me into the kitchen. That was not a good thing. I was worried she was going to tell Leader…I hoped she didn't…I truly hoped she wouldn't.
