Whispers in the Lightning

;You're the Reason Rewritten;

Chapter I: A Rose by Any Other Name is Just as Sweet

-X-

Author's Note- There WILL be some OC/Cannon love in this, but not major.

Summary- A little black box could spell doom for the entire Uchiha clan.

Disclaimer- I don't own anyone (Cept the ghosties) because I suck. T.T

"So, Sakura-chan… How are you doing this fine evening?" Naruto asked shyly. He never was too good with words around Sakura, whom shrugged. She looked rather healthy; the weather had been a tad shaky lately.

"Good, I guess." Sakura admitted, breathing into her hands to stop her breath from showing. The temperature had dropped an hour ago by 20 degrees or so. "I'd be better if you weren't here." Naruto glared at his feet, feeling hurt over the rude comment. Receiving no apology but a smack to the head with her backpack filled with things, Naruto continued down the road in a quick-paced fashion.

Sasuke sighed; he had just gotten chewed out by AshiTaiNou because she would have to remain in the attic for the few following nights. Draping his legs over the side of the roof, he glared at the ground below. He'd get her back soon enough. He just hoped none of his "Guests" would proceed to the attic. Everything in there was forbidden to those of the living, especially the heir (And only heir) to the Uchiha clan.

There was black magic up there that went back many centuries. Possibly to the early 1600's, if not earlier. Despite not wanting to deal with the hooligan genins, he would. It was his job, after all. Well, not really. He didn't have a 'job'.

Hinata sighed as she departed from her home. This is going to be hell… Despite Hinata's shy composure, she was actually quite nosy. She wanted to see just what the Uchiha's had been hiding over the ages. The Hyuuga's and Uchiha's may be family, or rather distant cousins, they were very competitive with one another.

Kiba growled as Akamaru began running around with the items he had planned to carefully pack, but sadly his dog had taken it before he had had such a chance. "Calm down, Kiba…" He muttered to himself.

An hour passed and Sasuke began to see ominous clouds loom over the quieted village. Just as he was about to head in, he began to hear a far off chatter. Everyone was arriving. Luckily, they had all met up somewhere. By now, Kakashi had already returned and informed him that the sand siblings would be joining in on the 'fun' and Sasuke had already showed them to their rooms. A couple of ninjas he had never met before had been sent to and were currently seated in their rooms.

"This is going to be a long day."

"A very long day indeed, Sasuke."

"Get out of here TouBaiChi." Once again, the male called TouBaiChi was hidden by the shadows. "If they see you, you and the other Uchiha's will be disregarded, thrown aside and vaporized. Just like the Pillsbury Doughboy."

"Ugh. He's pushing us to the side. Again. I hate it when he does that. It's not like we can't materialize into actual people temporarily!" AshiTaiNou was having a fit and TouBaiChi had no mind to stop her. To entertaining. "Don't you feel offended at all?!"

"Not really. We're dead, Ashi. Nothing we can do about it. It's best we allow them to finish their lives rather then wreck it for them." TouBaiChi growled to the ghostly female. His cold green eyes were the only visible thing about him.

"You're right."

"Sasuke-kuuuun!" Sakura screeched, waving at the boy wildly. The Uchiha rolled his eyes and motioned for them to retreat into his home. Doing just that, he settled beside a girl with black hair and purple eye. She was wearing purple gloves that stopped an inch after her elbow. A dark purple shirt covered one glove with a long sleeve on her left arm, but on the right arm, the sleeve had been cut off. Black pants and black ninja sandals topped off the strange get-up.

"I never caught your name." Sasuke told the girl beside him, who stopped sipping her tea to focus on him. Her eyes turned, however her face and position did not. "I am-"

"Sasuke Uchiha." Sasuke looked impressed for only a split second, but that cocky look was instantly back. "Your sensei told me your name. However, he did not tell you mine I suppose." Sasuke shook his head. This time, the girl lowered the tea from her lips and gently sat the fragile cup down. "I am Mimiyuset Ayasegawa, it's a pleasure. Feel free to shorten my name is you please."

"Ah. Pleasure." Sasuke managed to mutter as Sakura and Ino came pummeling through the door, instantly yelling, 'I win! Sasuke's mine!' in unison and beginning a fight.

"Oh yes, Uchiha-san, mind if I call you Chicken Ass? Your hair looks like a chicken." Mimiyuset asked, watching Sasuke, Sakura and Ino twitch, and then Naruto and Kiba fall on the floor, laughing their heads off in agreement. "What?"

"It does not look like a chicken's ass! Sasuke-kun's hair is very manly!" Sakura and Ino revised the girl's sentence.

"Oh really?" They nodded at the girl's words. "Then I'll call him Mr. Manly Chicken Ass. And also, let's play the 'You better get out of my face before I freaking beat you with a spoon' game, you stupid whores." Ino and Sakura gapped.

Sorry leaf, meant for it to be much, much longer. T-T
