Reunited With Obachan

Disclaimer: I do not own anything in or about the Naruto manga/anime, That belongs to the wondrous Masashi Kishimoto, I only own Uchiha/Akasuna Dairin and Uchiha Tsumaki plus a few others. Thank you (I also changed a few things about the original facts of the anime to fit the story) ~DEAD_Princess ^.^

I can't see straight, everything is blurry. For some incompetent reason everything is white, why white? "Why, white? That is the most unreasonably boring, color there is." I sit up slowly, and the room starts spinning. "Damn, my head hurts." I wince and squeeze my eyes shut painfully and try to think of a way out of here. It's strange and my insides are telling me I'm not home, wherever that is in the first place. I shift my right arm some and gasp slightly.

Looking down I see a needle connected to a tube, a flimsy one at that, and that is connected to a little pouch filled with a clear liquid, "Thats it, this place is too suspicious…. I'm leaving." I carefully get off the bed almost falling. "Shit, man…. I have one potty mouth and where did I learn all this language?" Shrugging I gently pull the... IV? Well whatever it is, it's irritating and drying my patience so I pulled it out. After regaining my balance and stumbling around the room avoiding anything that'll alarm anyone that I was here or that I was up especially. After getting used to walking again, I silently check if the door is locked, which luckily it isn't, listening closely I silently pad my way down the hallway to my left hoping I'm going the right way.

Maybe ten, fifteen seconds later I turn a corner and there is this younger maybe in her twenties looking nurse like lady…. I think, well I guess it's time to get answers. It's here and now, or never and getting sedated. With a surprisingly deep growl for my high pitched four year old voice, I tackle her and pin her down slamming her head to the ground to disorient her. Let's face it, I have a weak small body and if I have to give her a concussion… I will. "WHO ARE YOU? WHERE AM I? AND WHAT THE HELL IS THIS PLACE?!" I scream shaking her some more.

"Oh dear!" I growl again as another comes from seemingly nowhere and picks me up. "There's no need for violence young one," I look up to see an old lady with her short white hair in a bun on top of her head. "You are in the village hidden in sand, or in other words Suna, you are in the Land of Wind." Is there a slight amusement in her voice? "Either way, I still-" 'That is your granny Chiyo, on your father's side and remember if they ask your name use the one on your birth certificate young one. I am Mikuko the thirteen tailed panther, an artificial nature energy based beast. I control shadows, and can give you power beyond belief. You just need to unlock it with peace and love.'

Ummm… Okay so I'm crazier than I thought…. Okay than, to continue where I left off. "I still have no idea who you are. Neither do you know who I am." They wait patiently…. Well I'm not talking till I know who they are. 'Wait a minute what does my birth certificate say and what is a birth certificate?... Mikuko?' 'Ahh, I almost forgot you don't have your memories any more, a birth certificate is a paper certificate given to a newly born child to keep record of those in a village. You'll have a double citizenship if your taken in and raised by your grandmother once again or you can flee to Konoha and reside there. Your birth certificate says Uchiha Dairin, but traditionally it should say Akasuna'

At the mention of the surname Akasuna a face popped up in my head. It was a man he looked about nineteen maybe early twenties, slight feminine features like the eye color and shape that we shared. And his messy crimson hair, a lot brighter than mine is, given the fact that my hair is just barely notable as red, it appears red only in the sunlight where it seems to fall like a river, more like waterfall; my hair does curl at the ends ever so violently, of blood down my back. I scrunch my face in a disturbed manner as I realize just how disturbing that thought is for a four year old. "Well that's morbid…" I mumble to myself as I evaluate myself and the face some more. Well last I looked in the mirror we had the same eye's nose and lips, though mine are fuller. Then I have chubbier cheeks, well I am a child, but my jaw line is softer….

"Child, what's morbid?" I Look up at the nurse who ever so gracefully, note the sarcasm, has me suspended in the air like a rabid mutt off the street. Damn bitch, oh the irony! Great more sarcasm, that'll get me in trouble one day. "The riddle I just thought of," oh, great they're curious. "If you guess the riddle correctly I'll tell you my name first, but if you get it wrong I get your names first." I smirked and laughed a little before going blank faced and tilting my head towards the window near by, letting the light shine through my dark locks locks to confuse them. "That way it's a win win ratio and I want to be released, this place is confining."

"How old are you?" The nurse I so graciously, umm, lets go with 'played' with, yeah played with, asked astounded. "Four years, eleven months, and twenty-eight days!" I said with obviously mock enthusiasm. "Okay, now riddle me this! What seems black in great amounts but shines red in the sun?" They all stop to think, "Child that's not morbid at all." The nurse holding me says, "And I guess the specific gemstone ruby." I shake my head. "Nope next." The next nurse sighs and shakes her head "Umm, your nail polish?" I look at my hands in shock then hold them in the light and note she was right…. Wow, interesting. Even more sarcasm, great! "No, I didn't even know about that until now." Well that leaves granny "Is it your hair?" She has a knowing look in her eyes, is she guessing wrong now? "Nope, the answer is blood." You were all wrong now names please." I smile a broad emotionless smile as they introduce themselves "My name is Uchiha Dairin, I just recently ran away from a group of rogue nin and found this place first."

They nod in interest, curiosity, and pity; mostly pity, I hate that look it's almost condescending. The more it seems they're looking down on me the more I'll hate it here, I guess Konoha will be better. Suddenly the nurses freeze, okay that's it I'm going back to squirming she still has yet to change how she is holding me.

"Lady Chiyo, wasn't the infant that was left in your care, named Uchiha Dairin?" Chiyo nods taking my squirming frame from the nurse and cradles me with a soft smile "Yes she was, my has she gotten beautiful." They're talking as if I wasn't even there. Way to piss someone off, asswholes… Excluding granny over here, she knows how to hold a child. Wait….. "If you had custody of me before does that mean I get to live with you?" She nods her head a slight amusement in her eyes. "So… Can you umm, maybe sign some papers and get me out of here? I don't like it here I'm pretty sure I've never been in a place like this before, I wouldn't know I can barely remember anything about my escape… and can I be a ninja? I wanna be a ninja that sounds cool and exciting, and I'll get to help people and not hurt them thinking that I have been abducted…" I slow my breathing and slowly fall asleep, but not before noting the look of concern on the nurses and granny's faces.

Dream~

I'm walking out of a room it seems familiar white clay jasmine body wash and green tea pomegranate shampoo/conditioner sents surround me. I silently pad my way to a bedroom, phase through the door and climb into this guys bed. He had short black, no it was a charcoal grey, so almost black hair and skin so pale it almost seemed gray, something tells me that that wasn't normal that it wasn't usually that pale that it was just almost white but had a slight pinkish tone. Was he sick?

He grunts a little before he opens an eye then wraps an arm around me before falling back to sleep. His eyes were red, the pupil was a light red slightly pink actually and his irises was this rusty red color almost maroon. Crawling into his bed felt normal like I have been doing it for years. Curling into a ball I slowly drift back to sleep but not before I hear a mumbled 'I love you'.

Suddenly the place changes to this room but I was too engrossed in the conversation I was having with this guy to notice what's around me-

"What is love? If nothing truly last forever on the mortal plains of life?" I tilt my head in confusion. Mikuko is always going on and on about how love is the key to true blah, blah, blah. "Well Ai-chan, it all matters on who you feel it towards, do you think your father is going to ever stop loving you?" I shake my head "What about me?"

I look down "Well you were never under any circumstances to like or love me, and you're not my parent so you're not, technically, under and biological restraints, supposed to love me. Besides I've witnessed people 'fall' out of love and in the parks sometimes I have seen parents abuse their own kids and then degrade them. Kai not every parent loves their kid nor does love ever last permanently for some. Maybe the world breeds too much hate, it is always for one's self or everyone else, Kai. What if When I grow up I never fall in love with my awesome person I love and what if nobody loves me back when I get older?" i shake my head "Well everything you go through you just have to stay strong even if you can only trust yourself, and aren't you to young to be thinking of all this Ai-chan?" I shrug "Why do you call me Ai-chan, Nii-san?"

"I call you Ai-chan because I care about and love you, and that's what you do. Give them a nickname and protect them imoto-chan."

'Kai'

Now I'm in a room, an extremely familiar room at that, the walls were a basic stone, like I was in a cave, but the dessert was painted intricately on the walls, slowly and perfectly the walls flowed from day time, the far right where a dresser and wardrobe fit into, along with a door left ajar… A bathroom with various shampoos and conditioners all some type of tea or fruit scented combo and maybe five different body washes. Specifically white clay jasmine, waterfall and wild strawberries, pinetree and lemongrass, pomegranate oolong (like the tea) and sugar cookies, and probably the most normal… Mango smoothie. In the middle a little ways from the door but more towards the center of this giant room in the sunset area. A little tea party table sat with puppets seemingly waiting for the host each one different and unique. On the inside I feel kind of like they were made for me by someone important to me. Near the moon set area across the room opposing the tea table there was a desk with extremely organized screws and wooden body parts placed premeditatedly.

One of the desk drawers were open and in there was nothing but wood stain and paint. I open another drawer and in there was canvas, under that was a sketchbook, and just below that was a secret compartment with watercolor paper and a scroll, a very familiar one at that. I finally turn towards the giggling I just noticed; there are two girls painting each others nails I was painting the older one's nails, she looked about seventeen, navy blue and she was painting mine the same color as my hair. Something tells me that both of the nail polishes were mine; and that her nails are usually lime green.

Her navy ninja shoes were custom made and had a slit in the front that made it flare out above her ankles, she wore baggy dark grey sweat pant like pants that stopped below the knee but was fitted to the area she had square scarf folded to shape a triangle. It was light blue, and it was wrapped around her waist and pinned with a silver broach that was quite large and had a sapphire gem piece taking up the majority of the article, to finish it off the broach had medium blue feather like things hanging as to add a special statement about her personality. There was a small white lace lining the edges also she had a baggy shirt that was a dingy teal, no it was more blue but still it was baggy and both shoulders had an opening showing them off yet keeping the shirt in place was a dark almost navy corset like thing. It wasn't a vest or a jacket, it had one shoulder strap that went over her right shoulder. But it had a sweetheart dress shape around her rather large bust and a zipper down the middle.

She wore her blue, almost black, hair in a high ponytail but it was twisted and tied about three inches from the end, her ponytail stopped above her butt. There was a couple tufts sticking out at the top showing that there was longer hairs to her bangs she wanted to keep out of the way. As for her bangs they were parted down the middle and framed her pale face nicely, the longest untied hairs fell about a centimeter and a half under her jaw as the shortest were just below her eyebrows, some curled out even. Her eyes were a crystal clear blue, so light you would think they were white from a distance; over all she looked like a traveler. Last but not least her head band had a scratched out symbol of the Kiri. She seemed to be mothering me, it was nice.

'Mai'

Dream end~

When I woke up there was three kids in front of me. The older two of the three sat farther away from the youngest. He was a redhead like me but he had this nostalgic aura around him and the kanji for love on his forehead, ai.

'Ai-chan…' That sounds so familiar

Flashback~

"Dairin, huh? Well that's a fucking cute little contradictory name isn't it?" If there is anything That shocks me more about Uncle Oro's apprentice is that he cusses a whole lot. Otou-san is always commenting about hoping I don't catch this bad habit of his… I don't see why he has a colorful language and expresses himself freely something I've never really done before, usually I just sit back and watch things unfold before me unnoticed by the one's in the action. I've never really spoke to anyone and if so, it is usually in a hushed whisper my natural voice. Rarely do I get angry but when I do I explode for say, and it is always over built up emotions I can't handle. When I get board I read the dictionary or make puppets that's just how I function quietly and obediently like always I keep to myself and show little to no emotion. I am being raised by S-ranked criminals, not only that but sometimes I train with them.

I have excellent chakra control that is needed for being a master puppeteer, and that was expected from my father. The Puppet Master, King of the Red Sands, as I call him sometimes. He usually tells me not to address him like I'm his student, or anyone in the Akatsuki really, he say's that we're family not by blood for most but that's how it is supposed to be for now… "I think I'll call you Ai-chan! I have always wanted a little sister so you can call me Nii-san and I'll make sure you know how to act like a child rather than an adult with no life. Huh, Ai-chan? So put down that dictionary you aren't reading and lets go to the nearest village and have some fun." I stared at him blankly for FIFTEEN MINUTES before he gave the most idiotic grin I have ever seen in my life. "I have no time for incompetence," I turn to leave the main common room that currently has everyone in the base in it pretending not to be listening in to our conversation.

"Kid you have a life ahead of you and it is nice that you aren't completely oblivious to the world but there is a major fucking difference between living, being alive, coexisting, and just fucking being there. Not sorry to say but aside from Mai and I, the others are just sitting here being alive. You can live to the prime of your life, just let lose besides I was only taking you to the park then to get dango. Ai-chan, or would you prefer icecream?" I perked at the mention of sweets. The base doesn't always have sweets due to them never really being around to eat it and when they aren't here I'm stuck with Zetsu and one of the apprentices.

Flashback end~

'He is the Ichibi's host, the Ichibi is the one tailed beast Shukaku. A very angry and bloodlusted being be careful not to anger him child be more so to calm him you have the abilities that's why I was made to force them into a feeling of content for Orochimaru so he could experiment, but I needed a host, your the only one to survive. And as long as you have me, and you don't fall into hatred I promise I'll slowly give back your memories. Goodbye for now child.' Well that was useful information, but I want to be his friend and I don't want him to suffer alone. That's what I'll do if he lets me.

Oh, shit I'm staring and he's noticed… I need an excuse! Ahhhhhhhh! Calm down you know you make faces when you think like this say something! "Soooo… Have you ever heard of a flying pig? 'Cause there is this stupid saying of 'I'll believe you when pigs fly. And I need to know where I could possibly get one so people will believe me when something crazy happens… You know?" Oh lord, I never took notice in the fact that the adults were filling out paperwork and talking about me! Well I thought, because now they're watching me one looks bored and over worked, kind of observant and the other is amused… And observant, so Granny is amused and that one guy is watching me all carefully and like "... Who the hell are you?" I point to the other redhead watching me? His eyes widen "Children your age shouldn't say those words, I am the Kazekage and I run this village your home." I tilt my head to the side confused "And why can't I say 'hell' also what other fucking words?!"

Okay I may have said that to loud, people stopped in the hallway. Well that's a sweatdrop moment… I SWEATDROPPED! That's my first time! Granny looks at me confused. Then this one kid he's older than me and has brown hair and brown eyes tells me I'll hurt myself if I keep thinking like that. "That sounds familiar… Where have I heard that before?" I now walk over and sit next to the Kazekage's mini him and start thinking when suddenly my head hurts. I yelp as the pain gets sharper and hold my temple "HOLY SHIT I DID NOT THINK THAT WAS POSSIBLE I AM NEVER THINKING THAT HARD AGAIN!" I crawl to granny and hug her leg glaring at the one kid who told me I'd hurt myself "You jinxed me brat." He looks offended and I could care less what bothers me right now is the conversation the adults seem to be having in their eyes. "Ummm… Is that an adult thing? Having unspoken conversations between each other by staring intently into es the other's eyes? If so I never want to grow up it's weird." They give me a look, it feels cautious, no it is cautious. "HEY, no getting cautious because I read the environment that's useful!" Their eye's widen. Old people are weird.

Time skip~

I am sitting in what used to be my old bedroom as Granny had put it I only call her Granny in my head, and when we speak it's Obachan out of a new respect that I had gained for her when she let me help her with a prank on her brother Ebisu or Lord Ebisu in my daimyo voice. They have weird voices man. I inwardly shiver and finish screwing everything together, Granny had left to use the bathroom and I had decided to finish up since she is taking to long. Well that and I can be very impatient I hate to be kept waiting. A mind frame I know for a fact I had gotten from someone. But I don't know who, when she comes in she looked shell shocked. In look her in the eyes and shrugged "I got impatient Obachan." Stating simply she just shakes her head and and chuckles slightly. "I can see that Koishi-kun."

"That's another way to say love, I call the mini kazekage Ai-chan!" I look at granny and yawn, too much has happened today and I'm tired. "Your sleepy," granny smiles and brings out a scroll and hands it to me. This was with you when you got here. Can you open it?" I nod and mumble about how that is one of the few things I remember. After inserting some chakra into the scroll the whole room has nothing but slightly family objects in it... And another bed. "What I was prepared to find a village and stay!" I cross my arms and start pushing things in respective places. Beds across the room from each other, desk in front of window, dresser fitting snug in the corner next to the door, wardrobe on the other side of the door, changing screen blocking off anyone's sight from any part in the room sits in another corner. A soft familiar rug sat in the middle of the room, a dark night stand sits at the foot of both beds, having been locked and the keys sitting on the top of each. Finally some cans of paint and a scroll, one I know I should keep with me at all times.

'That was Mai's she instructed you to open it only when you feel alone in the world only then would you understand, she gave you the scroll be for she killed herself. Those night stands were Kai's and the keys are the same, one's a backup key wear it on a necklace.'

Nodding I grab a light blue nightdress and some body wash and other bathing necessities and get ready for the night. Laying down I close my eyes and fall into slumber.

Time skip-

After a year of living here and going to the academy only to learn what I have known all along and playing dumb I have revived many memories but none of that man I resemble so much. Either way Gaa-kun only lets me call him Ai-chan in private and he has been pushing me away like I think he's a monster. AND HE'S NOT THE VILLAGE IS JUST STUPID! Well now these days Ai-chan doesn't stay the night anymore infact he told me he hated me recently, that I was just going to hurt him and nobody could love him. That hurt so now I am telling him that my parents from Konaha are taking me away. He just glared and said good. I ran away crying, why is it that I make a friend and he just leaves me? After packing my room minus the bed Gaara used to use in a scroll and putting provisions in a small bag I'm ready to go.

"Kuni... Check, extra clothes not sealed... Check, extra pocky.. Double check!" I sit checking off my list of what not to have sealed with Sasora my mini guy I don't know much of in my lap. Tears streaming down face as I quietly stare blankly at the wall, my only friend suddenly says he hates me and pushes me away and makes me feel unwanted all because of his stupid, incompetent, jack ass of an uncle lied to him. He's the only one who knows about Mikuko, he was my first friend. And now I'm sitting on the bed he used to use that still smells like sand and cookies, how he usually smells. Crying and ignoring the couple that almost look the same.

"Hi, dear my name is Tsumaki and this fellow is my husband Suko." The petite lady with her hair pulled up into a high ponytail that stopped at the back of her knees "I'm your birth mom and I'm here to take you home! How does that sound, eh?" She sounds falsely happy. I stare at her blankly and grunt. "This is my home, my family is here, I don't fucking want to go. This is bullshit." I look away from her astounded face. "Where could a young lady learn all that language!?" She slightly raises her voice, before I cross arms making my purple kanji for love tattoo Ai-chan gave me show. Just sitting on my forearm. "Not from here I'll tell you that much." I glare at her "And I'm not your daughter!"

Time skip-

Here I am struggling against the stoic man's death grip screaming and kicking trying to loosen myself from his grip. "I HATE YOU LET ME GO YOU BASTARD. YOU INCOMPETENT FOOL!" He growls and slaps me across the face as the kazekage and his kids are walking by "You will respect your parents you insolent child!" Just then Gaara had glared at Suko. "I hope you die! And I'm an insolent child, eh? Well I'll have you know I can't wait to feel your entrails in my hands, bitch!" I spit in his face. He raises his fist only for sand to wrap around both wrists and force him to release me by breaking them. Sand wraps around my waist and pulls me to "Gaa-kun?" I look at him and hug him crying while he wraps his arms back around me. But sooner than later his father infuses his gold dust with his sand and makes me go with that horrendous couple crying and screaming for someone to save me but no one does. Settling the deal, everyone hates me.
