Chapter 2

A/N: HULLOOO! I was just wondering, should I do the jutsus in Japanese or give the English versions instead? Like "Kage Bunshin No Jutsu" or "Shadow Clone Justu"? Help me out here .

Oh. My. God. I blinked. And then I blinked again. Ladies and gentlemen, here we have standing in front of me is none other than the amazing Kushina Uzumaki! I stared up at her with childish wonder and fascination. I can't believe it! I wake up in my okaa-san's arms to see Naruto's okaa-san! She's so pretty! Minato you lucky son of a gun you… Ehem. I'm not a lesbian. At least I don't think I am. Although Kushina is making me have second thoughts. Gosh anime girls are flawless. Well, so are anime guys. Anime guys… BISHIES! I started to drool.

Okaa-san wiped the drool from my chin with a loving smile. It made me blush. I've never had a mother before so this is… nice. It's heart-warming and it makes me happy.

Kushina giggled and cooed at me before returning to her conversation with my okaa-san. I watched as Kushina placed her hand on her round belly with the gentlest smile in the world, her eyes shining with unconditional love for her unborn child. Naruto. He never knew what the love of a mother felt like. I clenched my fists and tears clouded my vision. Kushina is such a lovely woman, both her and Minato were so excited to have a child. To have their own family. I began to cry.

Both women gasped before Mikoto hugged me closer and proceeded to hum a lullaby. Kushina graced us with a smile.

"Naruto to Sasuke wa idaina yūjin ni narimasu. Shin'yū. Watashi wa kakushin shite imasu-ttebane! (Naruto and Sasuke will be great friends. Best friends. I'm sure-ttebane!)" the red head exclaimed.

Kyaa! It was her verbal tick! So cute! I gave her a gummy grin and she responded with her own devilish grin. I blinked. This is a once in a life time opportunity!

I wiggled my arms out of my blanket. Huh. This must be what a caterpillar-turned-butterfly feels like when crawling out of its cocoon.

When I finally freed my arms, I reached out towards Kushina with an expectant look on my face. She grinned and took me in her arms, being extra careful not to hurt me in anyway. With a bit of struggle, I wrapped my tiny baby arms around her neck in an embrace. I heard Kushina giggle. My okaa-san initiated the conversation this time, amusement in her voice. Kushina laughed at whatever okaa-san said. I'm hugging Kushina Uzumaki! THE Kushina Uzumaki! I'm hugging Naruto's okaa-san! Okay the last part sounded a bit weird. I suddenly felt depressed again. I'm hugging Naruto's okaa-san before he ever got the chance. He has to wait 15 years to hug his okaa-san. 15 long years. I suddenly felt like the worst human being on the planet. Kushina gave one last laugh before gently tugging me away from my embrace.

"Mā, sore wa watashi ga sarubeki tokidesu-ttebane. (Well, it's time for me to leave-ttebane)," Kushina said.

"Sasu-chan," okaa-san called.

No. Nonononono! We're leaving? No! I desperately tried to hold on. No! Kushina! You're going to die! You and Minato are going to die! Please don't go! I wish there was something I could do. I wish I could help her and Minato in anyway. My eyes widened. Well, there is one thing I can do for them. I reluctantly let go of Kushina. However, I made sure to gain eye contact with her. Okay. Here goes nothing.

"Waa. Wapaashiiii waaa," I gurgled out. Kushina and Mikoto looked on in shock. "Mmmaammoouuwwu," I slurred, "Nnnaahwuupoh!"

Watashi wa mamoru Naruto. I will protect Naruto.

And I swear my life on it.

It was the most terrifying night of my life. The air felt heavy. I could smell blood. I could hear screams. I could hear crying. They were my own cries. Itachi held onto me tightly, hoping to somehow block away all the killer intent and death in the air. It was suffocating. I felt like I was choking. It was the most terrifying night of my life.

00000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000

It was only a few days after the Kyuubi attack I felt something. I felt in in okaa-san. I felt it in onii-chan. I felt it in Shisui-nii. I felt it in otou-sama. I felt it in the air. I felt it in me. It took me a while to figure out that it was chakra.

It was a strange thing. It flowed like water under my veins. If I concentrated hard enough, I could feel where the chakra flows. It starts deep inside me, like in the centre of my stomach. Then it spreads around the whole body like veins. I can only guess that I can somehow feel chakra pathways. I cannot see it, but I can feel it. Not just in me, but in other people. Maybe I'm a chakra sensor? I seriously doubt it. I can't sense anyone's chakra unless I'm touching them.

I remember being held by Shisui-nii and I felt chakra flowing underneath his skin. I have no idea if this is normal or it has to do with me being so aware of it due to having lived a life without it. It was honestly an exciting prospect.

"Sasu-channnn!" Shisui-nii called. I was suddenly in his arms being carried away from the safety of my crib. Noooo!

Lately, Shisui-nii has been coming around a lot more often because his okaa-san died in the kyuubi attack. So basically, he's been living with us. He said he can't stand how miserable his otou-san is. And yes, you heard me correctly. I UNDERSTOOD what Shisui-nii SAID! Just a few months here and I have already learnt loads of Japanese!

I am so proud of me!

Shisui-nii ran out of my room with me still in his arms. I closed my eyes and concentrated. There! I found it. His chakra flow. His chakra was rushing around his chakra pathways, as if he had coffee and was really hyped. When he stopped running I opened my eyes, satisfied that I still felt his chakra. Heh. I'm getting better at this whole chakra thing! I was pretty content with myself until I saw a girl. She was around onii-chan's age. And she was sitting right next to him. From the looks of it, she is also an Uchiha.

"Koreha Sasu-chan!(This is Sasu-chan!)" Shisui-nii announced.

The girl turned to look at us, a small smile on her face.

"Oh! Sasu-chan totemo kawaiidesu! (Sasu-chan is so cute!)" she exclaimed.

I glared at her. Don't call me that! Only people I know can call me that! The girl switched her attention to Otou-sama, who I just noticed was sitting opposite onii-chan and the girl.

"Anata wa utsukushii musume o motte imasu, Fugaku-sama. (You have a lovely daughter, Master Fugaku.)" she said.

Yeah I'm flattered that you think I'm lovely and all but get away from my onii-chan ya bitch. I blinked. I have no idea why I'm being so vindictive but just the very sight of the girl annoys me for some strange reason.

"Anata ga kanojo o hakobu tame ni shitai? (Would you like to hold her?)" Shisui-nii extended his arms, intending to hand me over to her.

No! Shisui-nii you traitor! Can't you see that something about this girl if off?

Next thing I knew I was in the girls arms. Gah! I can't breathe! She's holding on too tightly! Air! I need air!

The girl laughed airily, "Watashi wa itsumo imouto o omotte imasu! Watashi wa, SASU-chan ga watashi no atarashī imōto ni naru koto o rakkīda to omoimasu! (I have always wanted a little sister! I feel lucky that Sasu-chan will be my new little sister!)"

I froze. What on earth is she talking about? New little sister? What was she adopted into the main family or something? Hah! As if! That's very unlikely. If not that then she'd have to marry into… OH HELL NO! This is a meeting for a fucking arranged marriage for onii-chan! I will not stand for this! Onii-chan should fall in love and marry whoever he wants! And he certainly does not like her by the looks of it.

I glared at the girl –whose name I still do not know- and glared at her. I could feel her chakra moving around her erratically, like she was annoyed. I got my answer when she looked at me with a fake smile. It was me. She was annoyed with me. My glare hardened. Well I don't like you either! Now move your arm damn it! I need to breathe! I sensed the chakra in her arm and shoved it.

She let out a yelp and suddenly I was falling. I closed my eyes and almost cried in relief when otou-sama caught me. The girl looked on in alarm.

"Fugaku-sama! Watashi wa- jikodatta- to iu no wa!(Master Fugaku! I- accident- I mean)" she stuttered.

Otou-sama looked at her coldly.

"Saru (leave)," he commanded.

The girl blinked rapidly before flushing in shame and vacating our home.

"Sasu-chan," onii-chan murmured in worry.

I didn't show any sign of acknowledging him. My thoughts were too occupied. I was still in shock.

I was able to control someone else's chakra.
