~Prologue~
I was sitting on the swing by myself,the Elderly Woman who raised me had passed away from an illness.I now live in a small shelter I made Older boys,about 7 years older than I was,had been picking on ever since I've become homeless.I couldn't hold back my tears,I was only a kid.
Bully 1: Aww is da wittle baby sad?
Me: Sh-Shut up!
I got off the swing and ran to my "home".I guess you can call a big box a home.I was then stopped by the other bully,seconds away from home.
Bully 2: So this is your home,more like a complete dump!Yo Tora,check this out!
He bursted out laughing as the one I assumed was Tora took a look inside.
Tora: Dude Kemo you're right!It just need a little of THIS!
Tora began to destroy my home,I couldn't look,so I closed my of a Sudden a Boy around my age pushed the bullies away from what was my boy had hair that spiked like a cockatoo or some other bird.
Boy: Pick on someone your own age!
The boy walked over to me,I was a little pink on my face,I couldn't help it,he was really cute.
Boy: Are you alright?
Before I could speak he suddenly screamed in pain,I looked and gasped,he'd been hit in the back and leg with kunai knives.I quickly got a hold of him.
Me: I'm going to have to pull them out alright,it's gunna hurt alot though ok.
Boy: Please,Do it quick!
I nodded and yanked the first one out as fast as I could,it wasn't that second one in his leg was pretty bad though.I felt another presence behind us and turned to see who I geussed was this boy's brother,they looked alot alike only he had ANBU knelt down at us,I was a little scared..
ANBU: Tell me Sasuke,who hurt you?
Sasuke pointed at the bullies.
Sasuke: They did Itachi,I was just trying to protect this girl,they were picking on her and destroying her home.
The ANBU..err Itachi turned towards me.
Itachi: And your name is?
I got pretty shy.
Me: M-my n-name is Sh-shadow sir,Sh-Shadow Sh-shizumi.
Itachi: Shadow,I'm going to teach these guys a lesson,while I'm doing that,will you take Sasuke to the Uchiha compound?
I took a look back at the kunai in my hand.
Me: I'm no ninja,but can I get the first shot,I'll take Sasuke to the Compound I promise.
Itachi smirked
Itachi:Go right ahead Shadow
I held the kunai like a ninja would and threw made a hole in Tora's arm as it went through the wall like it was nothing.
Itachi: Nice you go,I'll handle it from here.
I nodded and picked Sasuke up by the arm,we walked to the Uchiha compound Sasuke pointed out the directions.
Sasuke:We're almost there,look for a red and white fan on the gate.
I spotted the fan and went through the gate.I knocked on the door.A lady opened it and gasped.
Lady: Sasuke!
Me: Itachi told me to bring him here,he was protecting me from these bullies when they stabbed him in the back with a said he'd teach them a lesson.
The Woman took Sasuke from my grasp,I was really tired.
Lady: Thank you for bringing my son don't you come in and get cleaned up,you can borrow some of Sasuke's clothes alright.
Me: Are you sure it's ok with you,I don't want to be a bother and I'm sure you wouldn't want some street rat in your home.
Lady: Go on ahead sweetie..You poor thing,you're way too young to be living by yourself,I'll tell you what,why don't you stay here,I'm sure living here would be much better than in the streets.
Me: I'd really like Mrs. and Thank you.
Lady: Call me mom.
Me: Thank you,mom..
I couldn't help but smile,she's so nice,not just ignoring me like most people did.
Mom: Now you should go get cleaned up while I fix this wound on Sasuke's I never did get your name.
Me: Ok,and My name's Shadow,Shadow Shizumi.
For the first time in my life,I feel loved,I've never felt this happy in my life.I go into Sasuke's room and pull out a black shirt and black shorts along with boxers.I take a bath and put on the ,boxers are really comfy!
I sit down on the couch quietly,I hear knocking and I recognize that scent,It's Itachi's.
Me: I'll get it!
I slide open the door and I was right It was Itachi!
Itachi: Hey there Shadow,I see mother is having you stay here huh.
I nodded as he rustled my hair.
Itachi: That's good,anyway I looked through your old home and this doll is all I could find.
Me: Okami!Thank you Itachi!Oh mom's fixing up Sasuke's wound.
Itachi: Thank you for helping him.
Mom carried Sasuke over to the couch and layed him down,I quickly went over.
Me: Sasuke,are you going to be ok?
Sasuke: Yeah I'll be fine.
Tears of joy flooded my eyes
Me: That's good then.
He sat up as a sat next to him,he wiped away the tears
Sasuke: From now on I promise to always protect you.
Me: Thank You Sasuke,from now on,we'll be the best of friends.
Sasuke: Alright then!
We laughed a little when all of a sudden my stomach starts growling.
Me: Uh oh...
My face was bright red and Sasuke laughed
Mom: Sounds like someone's hungry.
She came in with two plates of food and made a small table for us.
Me: Yes I am.
Sasuke: So am I Mom.
The two of ate dinner and then popped it a 's dad came in while we did,he looked strict..
Me: Oh hello Sir.
Sasuke's dad: You must be the kid that's staying with us now huh.
Me: It's nice to meet you Sir,my name's Shadow.
He nodded and left the room as Itachi came in,I really liked him,he's so nice,and for being a big help for me,I gave him a even hugged me back.
Itachi: Sasuke,you take care of your soon to be girlfriend here alright,trust me an early start it better then not getting the girl got it.
Sasuke blushed real hard,it made me giggle.
about an hour later I started to doze off,I layed my head on Sasuke's neck and fell asleep.
