Blood and Unintentional Enemies
A/N- HAHA! I'm back!
Kaji frowned,"You're kidding, right?"
Tylendel glanced around anxiously,"Where's the Uchiha household?"
Neko pointed off into the distance,"That way!"
Mori immediately took charge of the situation, exactly like she had done nearly a year ago,"Neko lead us onwards!" They began to follow the running Neko, while Mori continued telling off orders,"Neko, you and 'Lendel look for survivors, don't get your hopes up on expecting any alive. I'll take Neko and find the betrayers." The last part came out forced as Mori began a tiny decent into her past memories. Kaji knew better than to bother, Mori was reliving a harsh memory from a past night, the night she and all hell broke loose.
They rounded some corners and finally skidded to a halt in front of the Uchiha household. Tylendel held out three handkerchiefs to the girls and they all took one. A small glance around the outside grounds proved it was definitely one killer's work. They entered the house looking a bit like bandits as the cloth kept them from getting light-headed from the metallic smell of blood, which just so happened to be all around them.
Mori and Neko walked into the room on the right of the hallway while Kaji and 'Lendel took the left door. From 'Lendel and Kaji's moans of displeasure, they had found a very mutated body or two. Mori pointed to a room next to them and shot into it with Neko right behind her. In the corner was a broken and beaten Sasuke.
"Sasuke!" screamed Mori.
His head shot up with an unmeasurable amount of wild fear in his eyes,"Mori?"
She began running to the corner of the room while Neko watched her back,"Oh gods alive! Sasuke, you're alive!"
When Mori hugged him, Sasuke began to cry,"They're all gone! It's all my fault! Why? Why did he kill them!"
"Who Sasuke, who killed them?" she asked him as she stroked his back as he sobbed uncontrollably.
"I-Itachi did." he finally whispered.
"Mo-" Neko screamed as she was dragged off.
Mori turned half a second too late,"NEKO!"
She was still sitting with Sasuke when Kaji came running in from where ever she had been, but something was missing from her too. 'Lendel. Itachi had them both.
"Some one took 'Lendel!" She looked around the room,"Oh gods, Sasuke's alive! First one yet." Kaji frowned as another thought occurred to her."Where's Neko!"
Sasuke stopped crying long enough to stammer out,"I-Itachi t-took her!"
Kaji just smiled grimly,"We'll just have to go and got them back now won't we?" It ended up being that Kaji went to search the south side of the house while Sasuke led Mori around the north side of the house.
Sasuke pointed to a room up ahead,"That's Itachi's room."
Mori smiled,"Thanks Sasuke. Now listen, your input is just as good as mine if not better. What do you think we should do?"
Sasuke frowned and answered,"Itachi almost never goes off without his weapons. So he'll come and get them!"
"Okay, we'll just wait here." Mori sat on the edge of the bed and waited silently. Sasuke of course was very tired and lay down, his head was resting on Mori's lap as he drifted off into sleep. Mori absently stroked he older boy's back. Eventually, Mori fell asleep. Blackness. Complete blackness. Mori awake to a tight pressure against her throat. She opened her eyes in blind panic and opened her mouth in a silent scream. Itachi, the very same man who, earlier had panicked her, now was trying to strangle her to death. She tried to wiggle her way out of his grasp, but it was all to no avail. Itachi had a firm hold on her neck and she wasn't going anywhere anytime soon. Mori accidentally kicked Sasuke in the face and woke him. His head shot up and Mori watched as he scurried into the corner.
Then Mori looked -no, she glared- into the eyes beheld be the Uchiha. She punched his face with one of the hands he left free. That proved to be a deadly mistake. He threw he onto the bed and grabbed her wrist. In no time, it was crushed. He did the same with the other wrist and then broke both elbows. Mori was in incredible pain. By all mean, Mori should have fainted from pain, but the pain kept her held between life and death, and she was hanging on by a mere thread. Within a few minutes Sasuke had seen both of Mori's wrists, elbows, and arms broken, and now he was watching her feet be broken. At this, Sasuke could take no more and he ran up only to be shoved back by an invisible force field around his brother and Mori.
Itachi turned and laughed at Sasuke,"Don't worry brother, I won't kill you. You're too weak. You aren't worth my precious time." Then he turned back and continued slowly killing Mori. Then Mori blacked out as Itachi broke her left leg as well. The air around Itachi suddenly pulsed and became shiny silver colored hue. Itachi was thrown into the air and was caught against the ceiling.
Mori floated into the air as Kaji ran into the room screaming,"MORI! NO MORI, STAY STRONG!" Mori sunk to the ground as Itachi somehow got away. Kaji grabbed her shoulders and started shaking her,"Mori! Mori, wake up! Mori please wake up!"
Sasuke went over to Mori and hugged her,"Mori . . . please come back! Please Mori! Help me!" The light silver hue that had appeared moments ago now covered Mori's face as she opened her eyes.
"W-w-what happened?"
Kaji sighed in relief, "Nothing Mori. Absolutely nothing." Kaji smiled as she silenced Sasuke with a small wink. That was when the hue disappeared from sight.
A few hours later, Kaji took Sasuke out of the room while Mori struggled to sit up from the state she previously occupied. Kaji's face was solemn and Sasuke's was pinched with near-fear.
"Sasuke-kun," Kaji began slowly,"I have something very important that you must never tell Mori-chan okay?"
Sasuke nodded,"What's the secret? Does it have something to do with the glowy stuff?" Kaji nearly chuckled, but decided not to break the silence.
"Yeah, that stuff." Kaji took a deep breath."Sasuke, when Mori, Neko and I were born, all on the same day, first me, then Mori, then Neko. The only thing wrong with us was that... we were different. Our mom and dad both had emerald green eyes and blue hair each. Thus they decided to offer these malformed, actually just different, children to the three Supremes. In our very first town, to be a Supreme means to be like a Hokage here okay?" Sasuke nodded carefully.
"Anyway, Neko was given to the woman in charge of the water, and that woman's name was Mizuni Zasuki, and Neko live with her until she reached the age of two where she was then given back to our mother and father. And she grew up thinking that she'd been raised by our 'loving' mother and father all her life. I was given to the man guarding the active volcano, his name was Sunahi Kawakaji. We had a great life together, and he taught me many things in those six years.
"Then he died and I was forced to go and live with my real family. There I found I had two sisters and was overjoyed, but it was wrong and soon I knew why. As for Mori, she had the worst. She was taken in by elemental wolves and she lived a relatively mind life, but as I've come to find out, something bad happened on her second birthday. Something terrible. On that day, she fell into the stream and nearly drowned. In fact, she did, but she resurfaced and was glowing. The wolves who gave me this story was very old and he died soon after I left, but he said Mori was surrounded by an earthily light which shone like the heavens.
"He told me that a few minutes after being drug back to shore, the light slowly disappeared and Mori opened her eyes. And her hair, her poor hair, once a beautiful red and black was now pure silver. He said that Mori had been saved, but by whom he did not know. I researched abut it and found that on that day, at that every time, there was a long meteor shower all across the world. Many saw this and knew it was not expected, but still stood in awe at it. Now I know that the angel that fell from the heavens that day lives in Mori. She saves Mori from pre-mature death. But there is a price to this task, every time this healing takes place, Mori loses some of her memories. Completely and totally gone. Of this only I know. Neko was... side-tracked last time it happened.
"But Sasuke," here Kaji paused,"if Mori doesn't remember you, it's not her fault. You'll get to know each other soon enough again." Sasuke's eyes were filled with tears but he nodded and walked down the hall to sit by the rain which poured down the window.
At this, Kaji reentered the room and was surprised to find Neko sitting chatting with Mori about something to do with a song... Kaji looked at Tylendel who sat on the other side other room and was casually reading an upside-down magazine. Kaji nearly laughed by seriously walked over and smacked him on the head.
"C'mon. We gotta go, tell you later, kay?" Tylendel just nodded and he helped her round up Neko and Mori who gave them little trouble for once.
"Bye brother of scary-dude!" called Neko as she and her sisters and 'Lendel left the Uchiha mansion in the flat out pouring rain. Sasuke waved lazily, but inside, his heart was freezing over from sadness. He would miss them in the years to come.
Mori, now age twelve was sparring with her best friend, also known as her sister Neko. Neko grinned and finished her jutsu by forming the hand sign ox. She grinned wider.
"Wishing Well no Jutsu!" She just smirked as a tall wall of water surrounded Mori who grumbled something about stupid siblings before starting with hand signs of her own. Tiger, horse, dragon, lion, cat.
Mori grinned and yelled,"Hissing Feline no jutsu!" suddenly, the entire well wall splashed down on Neko who hissed in surprise as Mori attacked again. Tiger, horse, snake, tiger, dragon, ox, snake, dog, cat, tiger, cat, horse, bird, ox, bird, snake, tiger, cat, tiger, dog, cat, tiger.
"Big Cats Attack no jutsu!" Suddenly Neko found herself surrounded by big kitties. Very big kitties. She gulped and dashed off to hide.
Iruka sighed,"Well then, Mori wins!"
Sakura Haruno giggled,"Mori! You've got seven straight wins!" Mori glanced over sheepishly.
"Cool." she grinned,"I thought I was just taking out my anger, but okay, that works too!"
Suddenly Iruka stepped up again,"Would anyone like to challenge Mori?" Silently, Naruto Uzumaki stepped up. It took under ten minutes to beat him.
Mori sighed,"People, I'm just like you all, except I like taking my anger out on people if I'm angry. You just happen to be here for me to-"
Suddenly Neko called out from hiding behind Iruka,"Mori, you're a sadist!"
Mori didn't miss a beat,"-take it out on you, and Neko, no I'm not, I get it from you." A girl in the crowd of kids grinned. The boy beside her grinned as well.
Suddenly, the crowd parted waves for another unlucky soul walking up to meet his or her doom. But as he was seen by all, mutters ran through the crowd on the possible outcome. And then Sasuke Uchiha faced Mori Yume with determination met only by Naruto's Hokage's wish. And then Mori smirked, this might be fun after all...
