CHAPTER 2: Five Years later
A five year old girl ran into the Uchiha compound, frantically searching for her Mother and Father. She had just started at the Academy, just like all other children her age. She and her best friend, Minoru Uzumaki, who had his father's blue eyes and his mother's, Hinata Hyuuga's, dark purple hair, had just recieved their very first report cards, and Minoru had jumped for joy when he had seen that he had scored a 93 out of 100. But his smile quickly became a frown when he had seen the 100 that Aimi had gotten.
She smiled excitedly, her brother had always brought home report cards with top marks, and she instantly idolised him. He was always so kind a loving to her, and he had already achieved his sharingan at age seven, a fact which, in his moment when he wanted to have some fun, he would always bring up. But regardless of the teasing, he was a fantastic brother, always spending time with her and helping her with certain techniques.
Her Father would normally teach her clan bloodlines, whilst her mother helped her with chakra control. She didn't know that much yet, but had no doubt she would by the time she became genin. Her brother, at the age of only eight, had already achieved the rank, along with his friends, Natsumi Nara, the eldest daughter of Shikamaru Nara and his wife Ino. Aimi would always tease Katsuo about his crush on the blonde haired, eight year old Nara girl, to which he would reply with the stoic Uchiha 'Hn'. In all honesty, Aimi found it disgusting; boys were gross and were covered in germs.
Approaching her front door, she called out to her Mother, who was most likely inside getting her daughter's food ready for when she got home from school.
"Mommy! Guess what! Guess what!" she shouted. Her mother appeared in the doorway of the kitchen, and upon seeing her little five year old, pink haired daughter, a smile formed upon her lips. "Aimi-chan, what is it?" she asked sweetly.
Aimi held out the piece of paper, "My Report Card!" she yelled. Aimi had so much energy, and reminded so many people of Sakura when she was younger, aside from the onyx eye's she had inherited from her father.
Upon taking the card and looking at it, her mother instantly smiled, and hugged her daughter. "Top Marks, I'm so proud of you Aimi," she said, "Your father is outside with your brother, helping him with his sharingan, why don't you go and play with Minoru".
Aimi looked at her mother curiously, "Mommy, when am I gonna get the sharingan?" pouted the five year old girl. Her mother laughed, "Don't worry honey, you shouldn't be in a rush to get it, it's alot of responsibility".
Continuing to pout, the little girl mumbled a 'fine' and walked back out the front door, heading to the park were Minoru would no doubt be waitng for her. Upon entering the park, Minuro came into view, his purple hair sticking out in the crowd of children playing. As she got closer, it was then she realised that Minoru's cousin, Ryou Hyuuga, the only child of Neji Hyuuga and his wife Tenten, was standing next to him. Aimi instantly felt her cheeks warm up, but shrugged it off as the heat causing her to become hot. Ryou was a replica of his father, the same long brown hair and lilac eyes that were well known to the Hyuuga clan.
"Aimi-chan! Hey, hurry up and let's go play", shouted Minoru. "Okay!" and with that Aimi quickened her pace until she stood infront of the two boys. "Hello Aimi-chan" greeted Ryou, a tint of pink visible on his cheeks, "Hi Ryou-kun" she greeted back. Even though Minoru was her best friend, aside from her other friend, Sayuri Nara, a blonde haired blue eye'd girl, who was the younger sister of Natsumi Nara, and the youngest daughter of Shikamaru Nara and Ino Nara, Aimi really liked when Ryou would play with them. "Sayuri said she couldn't play out, something about her mom grounding her for throwing a tantrum" said Minoru. Aimi nodded.
The three of them bought ice cream and sat under a cherry blossom tree. Ryou picked a flower from a flower bed, and running over to Aimi, he handed it to her. "Uhm...here you go Aimi-chan, it's for you" he said, smiling brightly. Aimi's skin turned from the beautiful pale pink colour to a crimson red. "Oh...thank you, Ryou-kun, it's very pretty" she said, quickly trying not to let him see her blush.
Minoru stood watching the scene, and gagged at his cousin's sweetness.
"Mommy, Daddy, I'm home!" yelled Aimi as she stepped through the door. Running into the kitchen, she saw her brother sitting in one of the chairs at the table, eating dinner, and her mother and father at both ends of the table, leaving one chair for Aimi, where her dinner was waiting on the table in front for her to begin eating.
"Aimi, where have you been, I told you that you were to be home by four, and it's nearly five, I was only 3 minutes away from running outside to find you" her father said in his calm, strict voice. But regardless of his attitude, he only showed the utmost love and compassion towards his little girl.
"Sorry Daddy, I was busy playing with Minoru-kun and Ryou-kun, and lost track of time" she said in an apologetic tone, with cute puppy dog eyes. Her father winced slightly at the sight, finding the urge to hug and forgive her very hard to resist. Sighing, he nodded and continued eating.
Her mother, upon noticing the flower in her daughter's hair, asked "Aimi-chan, where did you get that flower?". Aimi smiled happily, "Ryou-kun gave it to me! He picked it out especially for me!" she said. Her father, Sasuke Uchiha, allowed a growl to erupt from his throat. "Why the hell is the little Hyuuga brat giving my baby girl flowers?" he growled, his eyes instantly turning crimson red. "Sasuke-kun! Calm down, they're just children! Now sit down and eat!" said Sakura from across the table. Sasuke breathed deeply, taking his wife's advice, trying to calm down. Aimi looked across the table towards her brother, who looked back at her. Both just shrugged, confused by their parents actions, and went back to eating.
