Itachi smiled as he looked down at the little sleeping girl beside him. It had been a long day of traveling as they made their way back to the hidden leaf village. He wasn't real sure if it was such a great idea for him to return here after everything that he did his own mother didn't even want him there. He hoped that explaining everything would clear things up, but he knew they wouldn't trust him. As long as Alani had a good safe place to leave he didn't care, she was his main concern now. All he could do was hope for the best. After all even if the village didn't except him back, he knew his mother would not let anyone throw out her only granddaughter.
Bright blue eyes slowly started to open as she stretched her arms as she started to wake from her nap.
"Are we there yet daddy?" The young girl questioned as she looked up at her father.
"We should be arriving there later this afternoon. Now gather your things, we need to start moving." The little girl sighed as she picked up her backpack and reached up for her daddy to pick her up.
"Daddy, are we going to have a big house with a big yard for me to play in with lots of friends when we get there?"
"You will have to wait and see Alani that's all that I can say for now ok."
"Ok daddy, but as long as I have you I will be happy." Itachi smiled at her as they walked along the dirt path.
"Now Alani, there will be some ninja waiting for us up ahead so don't get scared and don't listen to what they say ok."
"Whatever you say daddy." She smiled.
They continued walking along the path that led to the hidden leaf village. Itachi told her stories for his mother and how great of a cook she was. He also told her about Shisui and all of their adventures they had when he was younger.
"Daddy, can I ask a question?"
"What is it?"
"Why would you ever leave a place like that if you had such a great family there?"
"It's along story Alani and one you wouldn't understand right now."
"Will we be able to see uncle fishy face and everyone else?"
"Not all the time."
"Oh…" she sighed sadly looking down at her dad.
Alani fell silent for the rest of the journey observing the beautiful landscape she saw before her. She thought about how their new life was going to be and all the new friends she was going to make. She was exited to say the least but she was also a little scared. But as long as she was with her dad, no one could ever harm her. They continued walking for another hour or so until they reached a clearing where there were three ninja with masks waiting for them.
"Stop right there Uchiha!" Shouted one of the men.
"You have a lot of nerve coming back here Itachi." spoke one of the masked men.
"Hey don't talk to him that way, you don't know anything about my daddy.!"
"Little girl, this man here is a..."
"Never mind... Alani stop please it's OK. this is my daughter Alani." Itachi interrupted before the man could say more.
"As a precaution Itachi, we have to place you and your daughter under arrest until we get to the hokages office." Stated the third ninja.
Alani frowned when she heard this. "But why ? We haven't done anything wrong! All we want is for somewhere to live and be safe and daddy said your village is the safest." Alani cried.
"Alani please just listen to them for now ok. Everything is going to be alright." Itachi promised.
"Alright if everything is ready we are headed out."
Alani took the man's hand walk walked to the village with her father following behind them. As they entered the village, Alani could hear the people whisper and stare at her and her father.
Before long they had made their way to the hokages office. As they walked in, Alani noticed a lady with blond hair hiding behind a stack to papers.
"Um.. excuse me my lady..."
"Go away can't you see I'm busy at the moment." The lady said in a frightening voice that mad e Alani jump.
"Yes well um, they have arrived."
"WHAT? Already!"she said looking up from her work to see Itachi and a little girl next to him.
"Very well you are dismissed."
