Hard life to live
Chapter 1
-Konoha Hospital-
It was close to midnight in the hospital when a baby's cry sounded. The nurses were smiling as they handed the new baby to her mother.
"Congratulations Uchiha-san. You have a beautiful, healthy baby girl." The exhausted mother smiled and looked down at the small bundle in her arms. "I've haven't seen a baby with that color hair in a long time." Mikoto's smile faltered. The nurse caught it and softened her smile, "Don't worry we won't tell anyone." Mikoto sighed in relief and looked again at the baby.
The small child's hair was jet black with silver streaks scattered across the hair. Her eyes were as dark as coal and her skin was beautifully pale.
"What are you going to name her?" Mikoto thought for a moment then looked up at the nurses, "Sasuke." The nurse smiled again and scribbled the name down on her clipboard. A few minutes later the nurse returned and took Sasuke away, letting her mother get some rest.
-Time skip the next afternoon-
Mikoto smiled as she walked out of the hospital with her new born daughter in her arms and her 5 year-old son walking beside her. The small dark-haired child looked up at his mother, "What's her name?" Mikoto stopped and kneeled down so he could see.
"Itachi-kun this is your little sister Sasuke-chan." She shifted the bundle so Itachi could see the sleeping child. But she was surprised when Itachi frowned and turned away from Sasuke. Mikoto stood and sadly watched her son walk ahead of her, 'even though he is young he can tell.'
When they finally reached the Uchiha compound the other Uchiha offered her congratulations, which she smiled and said thanks too. They arrived at their house a few minutes later and Itachi disappeared into his room.
Mikoto sighed and walked into her own room. 'I have a really bad feeling about this.' She looked down at Sasuke peaceful face as she sat down on her bed. 'At least I have two more days with you before Fugaku comes back from his mission.' she carefully laid Sasuke down and gave her a sad smile before whispering. "I'm sorry Sasuke but this is for your own good."
She placed her hands together forming a series of signs before she placed her right hand on the Sasuke's head. A light blue light surrounded the sleeping child and as it faded so did the silver in Sasuke's hair. Leaving her hair the silky, midnight locks her mother had. With a sad smile Mikoto joined her daughter in sleep.
- Time skip 4 years-
Sasuke moved silently through the house, her mother being on a mission gave her no one to protect her. Even though she was still young she was smart enough not to make any noise inside the house.
Her father was anything but loving; he even went as far as to push her into a wall a few weeks ago, when she was in his way. Itachi wasn't any better; he blatantly ignored her unless she annoyed him or got in his way. Then he would harshly shove her to the floor. Sasuke had learned quickly and stayed quiet and out of the way, when her father or brother were anywhere near her.
When she got outside she let a small smile grace her lips before she hurried away from the house. As she headed for the training fields she made sure to stay out of everyone's way.
She finally came to a stop in the middle of a large clearing. She pulled out a handful of Kunai that looked too big for her and looked around at the red and white targets that were nailed to the trees. After a minute she started to throw her kunai, almost every kunai at least hit the target. But before she could retrieve her weapons there was a snap behind her, making her spin around.
Both Itachi and Fugaku stood at the edge of the clearing, Sasuke slowly backed up to leave so they could use the field but a kunai landed in front of her. Fugaku closed his eyes, "Go ahead and use it for some practice."
Sasuke grabbed the kunai at her feet just as Itachi started throwing his own at her. They all would have done great damage if Sasuke hadn't knocked them off course. Itachi frowned and picked up his paced which caused Sasuke to let most of them through her blocks. Suddenly the hits stopped and Sasuke forced herself to stay standing.
"That's enough for today, go ahead and continue with your own training." Itachi bowed to his father and left the clearing. Fugaku gave Sasuke a disgusted looked before he left with a muttered, "pathetic." Once he left the clearing Sasuke sunk down onto the grass-covered floor and let out a whisper of a whimper.
- 5 hours later-
Mikoto finally returned home from her mission and immediately started looking for Sasuke. She started at the most likely place to find her and was glad when the small raven-haired girl was there.
Sasuke was in her room trying to finish wrapping her arms where the stray kunai cut her. Mikoto softly closed the door behind her and hurried over to Sasuke. The younger raven jumped when hands gently took hers, but she relaxed when she recognized her mother. She sat still and let the soft hands finish wrapping her arms before they turned her around.
"Let me look you over." Sasuke shook her head and softly spoke. "I already took care of the others." Mikoto sighed and pulled Sasuke closer, "I sorry Sasu-chan." The smaller raven buried her face in her mother's shirt, "Why does father and brother hate me?"
Mikoto sighed again but didn't answer, 'I'm sorry Sasuke but…you will never know the truth unless everyone you know is gone.' They sat in silence for a while before Mikoto stood, "It's almost time for dinner." Sasuke stayed where she was, "I'm not hungry." Her mother looked sadly at her 4 year old daughter before she made to leave the room. "I'll bring you something later."
-Time skip 3 years- (a/n. sorry there are a lot of time skips)
Sasuke was now 7 years old and her dark hair fell well past her shoulder blades, her skill as a ninja had grown rapidly with all of her self-training. The older she got the more and more missions her mother was sent on, so she hardly saw her.
Mikoto walked into Sasuke's room a little after the sun started to rise with a smile on her face. "Oh you look so nice for your first day at the academy."
She was wearing a black shinobi dress that was slit on the sides with shorts underneath. It had long sleeves, (A/n. think of Sakura's outfit, just black with long sleeves and a higher collar.) and she had her shuriken pouch on her right leg.
Mikoto kneeled in front of her daughter and placed something in her hands. Sasuke looked down and saw a small silver locket; it was on a silver chain and had the Uchiha crest on one side and a lightning bolt on the other. The second symbol confused her but she placed it around her neck anyway, she tucked it under the fabric of her dress.
"Now Sasuke… this is a very special locket. It's sealed shut so only you can open it." Sasuke rubbed at the locket through her shirt, "All I ask is that you don't open it until you are truly alone." She looked up at her mother and nodded.
They left the house a few minutes later and walked to the academy. When they finally arrived the front of the school building was crowded with parents sending their child to school for the first time. Mikoto leaned down so Sasuke could hear her and whispered a good luck before she watched the smaller raven walk into the school.
Once she was inside Mikoto sighed and walked home. Sasuke walked through the almost empty halls of the academy and quietly found her classroom. No one was inside so she picked a seat and waited.
Soon enough the sound of footsteps reached her sensitive ears and a group of children walked in, closely followed by a tall male with brown hair. The soon-to-be ninja were talking happily with each other and didn't even notice Sasuke sitting by herself in the corner of the room. It didn't bother her because she was used to being ignored and overlooked.
After the first group, more and more students filed in and took their seats with their friends. The tall brunette that had come in with the first group stood in front of the class and clapped his hands to get their attention.
"Welcome class. I will be your sensei while you attend this academy, you may call me Iruka-sensei." The young children looked up at him as he continued. "Since today is our first day together I want you all to introduce yourselves…let's start up front, just stand up and say your name." the boy sitting in the first seat stood and happily said his name. It went all the way around the room.
Once everyone said their names and sat back down Iruka smiled, "Alright, are you guys ready to start your first lesson?" there were a few groans but Iruka ignored them and started the lesson.
-Time skip end of classes-
Sasuke mentally sighed in relief when they were finally dismissed, 'I hope mother doesn't have another mission today.' She was about to leave the classroom when she heard Iruka's voice in the hallway talking to some one she didn't know.
"There's just something off about her…she isn't like any of the other kids and she hardly talks."
"It'll be alright Iruka; it's probably nothing you need to worry about." Iruka sighed, "You're probably right Kakashi. It's just…when I had Itachi he at least talked…Sasuke doesn't make a sound."
Sasuke dropped her gaze to the floor before turning and jumping out the open window. 'I guess I can't do anything right.' She didn't stop running until she stumbled on her way through the forest. She steadied herself before taking a deep breath and running her slightly shaking hands through her hair. 'There is no reason this should be happening…I did nothing wrong. Why does everyone hate me?'
With a sigh Sasuke leaned her back on the closest tree to her and slid down it until her knees pressed against her chest. She stayed there until her sensitive hearing picked up the sound of someone walking toward her. She quickly stood and dusted off her cloths.
