Well, here's the start of the story. And i just want to first start off with dedicating this story to wolfgirl539, who was the one who inspired to write. I just had all these ideas in my mind and she was the one who encouraged me to write. I just really want to say thanks since we're like partners in crime :)

Anyways on with the story. Keep in mind that I don't own any of the Naruto characters except my OC's. (I do not own the song at the end either; the song, I learned from you is origingally sung by Miley Cyrus and Billy Ray Cyrus.)

Now, i hope you enjoy!

Chapter 1: The Beginning

"AHH!!!! AHH!!!"

"Come on, almost there." Said a nurse.

Screams could be heard from the delivery room of the hospital. Currently, Lord Uchiha Wairi's wife was giving birth to twins that would be the heirs of the Uchiha Clan. Finally, about more than 7 hours, Uchiha Chihiro gave birth to a girl and boy. They both decided to name the boy, Haku, and the girl, Katara. Little baby Haku had deep, dark-gray eyes just like his father, while his sister, Katara had dark blackish blue eyes like her mother. Both had the same colored skin as their mother. Both kids were laughing and smiling with each playing with the other.

Uchiha Chihiro was a wise, kind woman with the looks to go with it. She had beautiful blackish-blue hair that reached to her waist along with eyes to match with pale skin that brought out these features even more. She had first met her husband when they were just kids, going to the same academy in the Hidden Leaf Village. She worked hard in the academy and was a great fighter and strategist. They had grown up to be best friends and ended up to be lovers. Chihiro used to be a captain of the ANBU, but retired to take the responsibilities of the clan and her new family.

Uchiha Wairi grew up in the Royal Family of the Uchiha clan. He started to train at a young age and got the sharingan at the age of 4. From there, he was the top rookie at the academy and became a chuunin at 8 and later went on to become a Jounin and ANBU captain before he took over as the leader of the clan. He had dark-gray eyes that showed how wise and kind he was. He was very understanding and considerate toward his clan and the village. Wairi had dark black hair that framed his face; he also has tan skin and wears glasses at times.

What set the twins apart was not only their gender, but Katara had a dragon mark around her left wrist that started from her palm. Both her parents were shocked to see that she had this, but they thought that it was nothing. But at the same time, Lord Uchiha had a feeling that this was the curse mark that came from the great legend thousands of years ago.

Wairi and Chihiro were both on the bed looking at how beautiful their children were. Wairi was currently holding both his kids and Haku and Katara were both trying to copy him. Their father cleverly thought of something that they couldn't do which was use the sharingan. Once he did this, his kids were trying to do the same thing; they both seemed upset, but suddenly, they actually were able to, which shocked both the parents.

"I-immpossible……….that's amazing!" Chihiro exclaimed.

"I guess natural talent runs through our blood, huh?" replied Wairi.

In came the grandparents and they couldn't get over how cute they both their grandkids were. Suddenly, Wairi's grandfather, Uchiha Paku, came through the door exclaiming that there was an attack on the clan. "Wairi, there's a nine-tailed demon dragon attacking our clan right now. Currently, the leaf nin and our clan members are trying to take control over the situation. We need back-up!"

"I'll be right out there!" replied Lord Uchiha. At the moment, Chihiro had on a worried face and didn't want her husband to leave her side. "Don't worry, I'll be back" Wairi said as he gave his wife a kiss before leaving. His grandfather, Paku, also followed behind his grandson toward the spot where the demon dragon was. It was a wonder to behold; the dragon enveloped the power and number of tails the nine-tailed fox that had attacked a few months ago. The dragon was a female with sharp claws, dark blue and silver scales, with blazing, fierce blue eyes. It was currently roaring and growling while also breathing out fire.

"We need to find a way to stop this beast. Do you have any ideas Paku-sama?" asked his grandson.

"I have an idea, but it's a big risk. You know how the fourth was able to seal the demon inside a new-born child? I feel that I should do the same by using Katara." Replied Paku.

"WHAT!! There must be another way………but why Katara?" asked Wairi.

"I noticed her interesting birthmark and before her birth, I had dreams of this happening and in them, I believe it was meant for her to have this demon sealed inside of her."

"But that would mean you would be sacrificing your life…………why would you do that?" asked the Uchiha.

"Grandson, I care about the clan and village as much as you do, and this is the only way." Replied Paku.

With the current situation at hand, Wairi had no opportunity to argue back, and he answered with a silent urge to retort, "Well, I can't stop you…………..but I'll go get Katara. And also, good luck Paku-sama" Said Wairi.

They both separated into different directions; Wairi would go grab his daughter for the sealing technique, while his grandfather would distract the demon. Paku came onto the battlefield and bit his thumb to use his blood. He then put his blood on his arm and slammed his hand on the ground to summon the frog boss, Gamabunta.

"So what's up with summoning me here, Paku?" Gamabunta said in a very cranky manner.

"We're going to keep this demon distracted until my great-granddaughter comes here; I'm going to seal the demon inside of her in order to save this village." Replied the old geezer.

"Seems like everytime people summon me, it's for sealing demons, huh? Well, I can't say that I agree with this, but what ever works I guess." Said the frog boss.

"Let's go then!" said Paku. The dragon known as Hikari, the giver of destruction, was terrorizing everything in her sight. The dragon saw them both in sight and decided to attack. The dragon took to the sky, so Gamabunta decided to jump up and hit her with a water ball. He then followed with some oil, while Paku formed the handsigns for the fireball jutsu that came in contact with the oil, which created an explosion. But at last, Wairi came with Uchiha Katara, an heiress to the Uchiha clan, wrapped up in a light-blue blanket.

"Ojiisan, be careful and I'll miss you greatly." Lord Uchiha said while he gave his grandfather a hug.

"Do not worry, but I want my great-grandaughter to be treated like a normal person and as a hero." Said Paku.

Uchiha Paku then stood atop Gamabunta's head with Katara in his arms. He quickly formed the seals for the technique and the demon was slowly being sealed into Katara's body. Paku was now gone and Gamabunta handed back Wairi's daughter to him and then poofed away. Everyone that helped out was now in a moment of silence to give respect to Uchiha Paku. Wairi left to go to the hospital with his daughter in his hands.

Three years later:

"Haku-niisan!!" screamed his sister, Katara.

"Nani, Katara-chan?" replied Haku.

"Otousan wants us to go to the training grounds, so come on." the little 3-year old girl said as she took hold of her brother's hand.

It was unbelievable at how fast they both had grown-up. They both started training at age 2 and now at the age of 3, they became well-rounded in all the different categories: genjutsu, ninjutsu, and taijutsu, while at the same time they obtained extra training to be medic ninja from the Legendary Sannin herself, Tsunade. Along with that, their sharingan were both at its strongest as they spent much time perfecting their eyes.

Katara now had blackish-blue hair, which was short and layered; her hair was just an inch above her shoulders. She was known as a kind, spirited girl that was an Uchiha prodigy, even though she and her brother didn't even attend the academy yet. She was currently wearing a light-blue, long-sleeved shirt with the Uchiha fan and a gray skort. Her brother also had grown; he now had black hair with some blue highlights; his hair was usually spiked up in all directions, which resembled like a chicken. He was wearing a black long-sleeved, high-collared shirt with the Uchiha symbol along with white shorts. They both were wearing black ninja sandals and their shuirken holsters. Both twins were known as Uchiha prodigies; and although they were both different, Haku held the same kind heart as his sister.

They both arrived at the back of their huge Uchiha mansion, where they saw their father, mother, and grandfather. Their father could see that they were both excelling at their current ninja training. Due to their high stamina, and fast speed, they both were able to use the fireball jutsu that was well respected in their clan; and also a lot more different jutsus along with perfect aim. They only had started training at age two, yet it seemed like they've been doing this all their lives.

"Otousan, we're here!" exclaimed the Uchiha heiress.

Chuckle……."So I see." Replied their father with a smile. "There will be no training for today, but I just want to inform both of you that you will start going to the academy when you both turn 4, alright? And don't forget about the banquet we have today."

"YES!!!" screamed Haku and Katara at the same time, while pumping their fists up in the air.

"You're both excused." Replied their father.

"Sayonara otousan, okaasan, and ojiisan." They both said as they left the mansion.

"Haku-kun, what do you want to do today?" asked his sister while she was getting a piggy-back ride from him.

"Katara-chan, like I said a million times before, I don't know."

"Hey, Haku-kun!!!" a voice from afar said.

"Wataru-kun…………what do you want?" asked Haku

"Some of us wanted you to join in on our hide and seek game, so will you?" asked Wataru.

"Can my sister come?" the Uchiha heir asked back.

Wataru looked at Haku's sister and had the same look that all the other people had: fear. "S-s-sorry Haku, but it's just for guys" Wataru said, but he was just making up an excuse.

"Gomen, I can't just leave my sister alone………..interrupted by his sister: "Haku, I don't want you to feel sorry for me. I'll be fine, don't worry……..and anyways, I wanted to practice that new fire technique that father taught us, so I guess it'll give me more time to figure it out………..just go on ahead ok? And have fun for me!" answered Katara.

"You sure?" asked her brother

"yep!" said Katara. Haku allowed his sister to get off his back and before he left, he gave her a big hug.

'What's wrong with me………..I'm always alone. It's all this stupid birth mark and the fact because that there's this demon inside me. It's not fair.' Thought Katara has she tried hard not to cry as she ran to her favorite bridge in the village, but she couldn't hold back the tears as she sat down and just cried her heart out.

Even though she came from the Prestigious Royal Family, each time she was in public, they always gave her the same look: hatred and disgust. Even the kids wouldn't play with her; each time her brother was always asked to play with the other kids, but he always turned them down, until Katara would tell him that she would be fine. She always felt like an outcast. but she was at least happy that her brother was considerate enough to be there for her.

"Hey, don't cry." Said a kind, gentle voice. At first, the voice startled the heiress as she turned around to see a young boy, about her age.

"W-who are you?" asked the heiress.

"Here, first let me help you up and then I'll tell you," the mysterious boy said as he put out his hand to help her up. "Alright……so to start off……..I saw that you were crying so I decided to follow and see if I could cheer you up. By the way, my name is Uchiha Sasuke" the boy said with a kind smile.

"Oh, you're an Uchiha too?! Gomen ….I forgot to introduce myself; my name is Uchiha Katara."

"Nice to meet you………so do you want to come over to my house and hangout?" asked Sasuke.

"Umm……..sure!" Katara happily replied.

Just then, Katara noticed that behind Sasuke, there was her brother. Her new friend noticed her gaze and looked behind him. He couldn't believe it, it looked like his twin! "Haku-niisan! I want you to meet my new friend, Uchiha Sasuke and Sasuke, this is my twin brother, Haku. Did you want to hangout with us, Haku? And why are you here?"

"Sure I'll hangout with you guys and I left because I didn't want you to feel lonely."

All three Uchihas headed to an Uchiha compound that was near a big lake. They all stepped into the big home and Katara and Haku met up with a lady that they assumed to be Sasuke's mother.

"Okaasan, I brought some new friends over."

"How nice……what are their names?" asked his mother.

"Katara and Haku." Replied Sasuke.

"Oh, you must be Lord Wairi's children, am I correct?" asked Uchiha Mikoto.

"Hai!" Haku and Katara replied simultaneously.

"Well, welcome to our home and I hope you three have fun………oh, Sasuke……..you still have to train with your brother, alright?"

"Hai………I'll find him right now." Replied Sasuke. "Gomen, but I totally forgot that when I was on my way home, I was suppose to train with my brother, but then I saw you, Katara."

"That's no problem, we can wait. Besides, I want to see you train" Katara kindly replied back with a kind smile.

All three kids arrived to the backyard that had a huge lake and lots of space to train. At the training grounds, Katara had spotted an older looking boy and she assumed that the boy was Sasuke's brother. "Sasuke-kun, I think your brother is over there." the Uchiha heiress pointed out.

Out came a boy about the age of nine with a leaf headband. He was pretty tall and had strange lines on his face; he was wearing a gray, long-sleeved shirt and white shorts along with black ninja sandals. He had a kind smile on and said, "Sasuke you're late……….and who are they?"

"Itachi-niisan, these are my new friends, Katara and Haku……….and gomen nasai." Replied the 4-year old. Itachi smiled back at them and gave them a nod of acknowledgement.

"Let's just get started…………come." Itachi said calmly. Sasuke's brother was currently showing him how to throw a shuriken in order to hit the target dummy. Katara was closely watching, but at the same time, she couldn't believe that his brother was Uchiha Itachi; of course, he was also known as a prodigy, who had passed the academy in a year, which was quite impressive and this was one of Katara's heroes.

Without any realization, Katara had no idea that a kunai knife was headed right for her; when she saw that it was coming, her reaction wasn't fast enough, and she got ready to get hit. 'Ok…….where's the pain already?' thought the heiress. Out of complete shock, Katara saw that Itachi had managed to use his speed to deflect the weapon.

"Are you alright?" asked the 9-year old prodigy.

"Yes, and arigatou.' Replied the little girl with a slight blush on her cheeks.

"OH MAN!!! Katara!! We have to get back home to get ready for the banquet." Haku nearly screamed , while also panicking,

"Haku! You're right! OH, we're going to have to run there! Umm…………………gomen Sasuke-kun, Itachi-san, but we forgot about this banquet we're having at our place, but we would like to invite you and your family……………….so Ja ne!!" Katara said as she and her brother quickly sprinted towards their home.

The Uchiha heiress was currently putting on her kimono for the banquet. Her mother was finishing tying up her obi and she stepped back to see her little daughter in a dark blue kimono with white doves and light blue cherry blossoms with a silver obi. Her hair was short, so Chihiro decided to allow her daughter to leave her hair down. Uchiha Chihiro was wearing a snow-white kimono with a golden dragon and silver obi, while her hair was up in a traditional bun. Lord Uchiha was dressed up in a traditional, plain kimono that was dark blue with the Uchiha fan on the back. Haku also was wearing a similar outfit to his father, except his was in black.

This banquet was in celebration for the three-year anniversary of the attack on the clan from the nine-tailed dragon. Everyone throughout the clan was going to be there, but most importantly, the 3rd hokage was going to attend. The final details of the preparations were being put up in the mansion; the whole place was decorated in various colors with different shades of lamps to illuminate the whole home. Guests started to come in and the first family to come was Sasuke's. Lord Uchiha and his wife greeted all their guests and started to talk to them as well. At long last, the 3rd hokage arrived with some guards and everyone in the clan greeted him. Lord Uchiha was showing him around and introduced him to everyone; when he stopped at his kids, he also stopped to introduce them to the 3rd.

"Haku, Katara, I would like you to meet the 3rd hokage." Said the Uchiha leader.

"Nice to meet you hokage-sama." Replied Katara and Haku.

"Likewise; well, these must be the amazing shinobi you've been telling me about Wairi." The 3rd said to the Uchiha. Their grandfather, Uchiha Taji came into the conversation knowing that his grandkids wanted to get away from this talk, so he was helping them out. Before they left, he gave them a wink.

The heirs began to walk away from the conversation; Katara was especially excited to find her first new friend. Instantly, she found him with his family; his father looked very stern, while his mother still had that kindness in her. She took hold of her brother's hand to drag him over there while she waved to get his attention. "Sasuke-kun!" Katara said aloud. "Do you have to be so loud, Katara?" asked her brother. "Huh, what did you say Haku-kun? I didn't hear you." "Never mind" was Haku's reply.

Sasuke was dressed in a plain, dark blue kimono, while his older brother was dressed up in a crimson-black kimono. Instantly, he came up and walked toward the Uchiha twins. "Come on, let's go do something………." Said Haku. "But what about Itachi-kun? We shouldn't leave him alone. I'm going to go ask him to come with us." Said the blackish-haired girl. Right after she said that, she came up next to Itachi and asked him to come with her. Unfortunately, Itachi was busy talking to important captains from the Uchiha police department, so he had declined the offer. The little heiress just decided to just forget about it and to show her parents her first friend. She went back toward her brother and Sasuke and grabbed both their hands, leading them outside to a nearby pond with a beautiful cherry blossom tree. The night was still young, with a wondrous breeze that swept through the air. The moon was fully lit tonight and the stars seemed brighter today. "I love staring up at the stars, especially when they're this bright, so come on and lay down with me" the 3 year old girl said. Both boys went down to lie on the ground beside her; Haku was on her left, while Sasuke was on her right. After a short moment, that felt like an eternity, all three kids were called in for the banquet dinner.

The dinner had many different dishes ranging from seafood to ramen noodles. The table was very long and wide to fit all the food and people. Lord Uchiha sat at the head of the table, while his wide sat on his left, while his guest of honor, the hokage sat on his right. His children were permitted to sit with their new friend. Throughout dinner, Haku and Katara got to know Sasuke more. They learned that Sasuke was always ignored by his father because his brother was such a great shinobi; Sasuke was just trying to get noticed by is father, so he couldn't wait to go into the academy when he turns 7. He wanted to feel loved by his father; he also sees Itachi as a hero and he enjoys training with him. They discovered that Itachi was a charming young boy that would do anything to protect his little brother.

Dinner was finally over and it was time for entertainment. Everyone gathered around the huge staging area and took their seats. They all were anxious for the entertainment. There were many different things going on; there were fire breathers, jugglers, and even some of the clan members came on stage to perform different fire techniques. Haku came onto the stage and breathed out fire; then he started controlling it, forming a dragon made from fire. Last, but not least, our little heiress's turn was coming up. She was currently backstage looking at the people who would be watching her. Her father was also there because they both would be doing a duet. The performer on stage was done with his fire-breathing and Lord Uchiha and his daughter came onto the stage, while her grandfather came onto the stage to play the song. Out came an angelic voice from their little Uchiha heiress; she had an amazing voice just like her mother, that it instantly captivated the audience.

Katara:

Ooooo
Yeah
I didn't wanna listen to what you were sayin'
I thought that I knew all I need to know
I didn't realize that somewhere inside me
I knew you were right but I couldn't say so
I can take care of myself, yeah, you taught me well

[Chorus: (Katara)]
I learned from you that I do not crumble
I learned that strength is something you choose
All of the reasons to keep on believin'
There's no question, that's a lesson, that I learned from you

[Lord Wairi]
We always don't agree on
What is the best way
To get to the place that we're going from here
But I can really trust you, and give you the distance,
to make your decisions without any fear

[Both]
I'm grateful for all of the times
You opened my eyes

[(Both)]
I learned from you that I do not crumble
I learned that strength is something you choose
All of the reasons to keep on believin',
There's no question, that's a lesson
I learned from you

[Both]
You taught me to stand on my own

[Katara] and I thank you for that

[Both]
You saved me, you made me,
and now that I'm looking back

[Katara] I can say... Yeah!

[Both]
I learned from you that
[Both]
I do not crumble
I learned that strength is something you choose

[Katara] something you choose

[Both]
All of the reasons to keep on believin',
There's no question, that's a lesson that I learned from you
I learned that strength is something you choose

[Both]
All of the reasons to keep on believin',
There's no question, that's a lesson that I learned from you
[Both]
I learned from you

Once the performance was done, everyone clapped and was amazed at how much talent Katara had. Some of the parents had a change of heart and realized that she wasn't a demon, but just a normal girl trying to fit in. "WELL DONE!!!!" everyone shouted.

Katara saw that everyone's eyes had a change of heart. Their eyes did not show hatred, but kindness and pride. For one moment in her life, she felt that she truly belonged here.
