Gomen it took so long to write this! So many stories are already on my page, but I've edited and updated a little over half of them. I promise I will do my best to update the stories more often. Anyway, I hope you enjoy the story.
2 Weeks Later
3rd Person POV
"Finally, fresh air!" Sei said, getting wheeled out of the hospital by Itachi. Sei was now able to move her neck, head, lower arms and feet. Kayla was right beside Sei, giggling at her restlessness. Everyone else had left the day before, leaving only Itachi's father to return.
"Where are we going?" Sei asked, turning her head so she could see her old friend. "Is it my place?"
"No." Itachi answered, a small smile on his face. "You wouldn't be protected there."
"But I will, you can come with me to make sure he doesn't attack me!" Sei argued. Itachi just shook his head.
"Remember, I am not in the police, I am with a group of crazy people who play pranks on others for amusement." Sei and Kayla sweat dropped.
"I will go take care of them while you're gone." Kayla said, calming her friend. "They'll be fine." Sei gave her a wary look before sighing, leaning back on the wheel chair.
"Where to then?" Sei asked bordly.
"That's a surprise." Itachi said, small smile turning into a grin. Just then a van pulled up in front of the hospital. The chief came out of the driver's side, waving his arms to them.
"Our chariot awaits my dear lady." Kayla giggled, waving her hands toward the van. This got Sei and Itachi laughing.
Once they got to the van, they immediately saw a flash of blue before her friend's dad was happily in front of them.
"Let's get you in the van." He said, helping get Sei out of the wheel chair along with Itachi while Kayla held it in place. Once she was gently placed on the closest seat, Kayla folded up the chair, put it in the trunk and went in to sit by Sei.
Itachi and his father sat up front, keeping an eye on the road as they drove towards the mysterious location.
"So, do you know where we are going Mr. Uchiha?" Sei asked, hoping to get some information out of him.
"It's a surprise!" He said, dashing her hopes. Sei sighed, resting her head against Kayla. Her friend laughed, taking a piece of Sei's hair and braiding it. Sooner than Kayla could braid 8 strands of hair, Sei was asleep, leaving the trip quiet.
"So where are we going?" Kayla asked. "Sei's asleep and promise I won't tell her." The two Uchiha's took a glance at each other before looking back at the road.
"Not telling, but you should be able to figure it out." Itachi said. "We are almost there actually." Kayla looked out the window to see a small town with rather large, simple houses. It took her a moment before she figured it out.
As they pulled into one of the driveways, Sei woke up, due to the vehicles sudden stop. The two Uchiha's went to help Sei out of the van while Kayla took out the wheel chair, unfolding it so Sei could sit in it.
"This place looks familiar." Sei mumbled to herself. Just after she said that, a woman looking similar to the two males came out, a huge grin plastered on her face.
"Sei, is that you!" She said, going over to the small group of four.
"Miss Uchiha!" Sei responded, wide eyed. The woman laughed, hugging the girl.
"Oh how we all missed you!" She said, pulling back. "When my husband came to the house telling me that you were coming to stay with us for a while, I was so happy I started crying." Sei laughed, a huge smile cover her face.
"I tried to ask them where we were going, but they just kept saying it was a surprise." Sei said. "And a surprise it was!" Everyone laughed, a happy air around them.
"Let's get you inside." The older woman said, taking the wheel chair and pushing it through the front door and into the house.
Sei gapped, looking around the place. "You changed the wall color!" The Uchiha's nodded, pleased that she remembered the place after so many years.
As the group chatted, Kayla took the chance to sneak out and head toward her friend's house, which was not too far from the Uchiha household.
"So, how have things been for ya?" Sei asked, looking at the older woman expectantly.
"Well, I've had to deal with these boys, but other than that, everything's been peachy. Thing's didn't start getting lively again until the boys made some new friends." Miss Uchiha said, making Itachi roll his eyes. "Don't you roll your eyes at me!" Sei busted up laughing at his mom's reaction.
"So Sei, what has life been for you?" Mr Uchiha asked, making the other two look towards Sei. She looked down, a sad smile on her face.
"After my father disappeared, I spent a few years traveling around, trying to find any information I could on what happened to him and revisiting the last place he was seen for clues. It was hard, surviving on my own, but I never gave up. I never gave up on trying to find my dad." Sei told them, eyes shining with many built-up emotions. "I trained every day to get stronger and did the best I could, that way when I found him, I'd be able to protect him and make him proud." Mr Uchiha put his hand on her head, crouching down to her level.
"You're fathers case might be cold, but I believe you that he's still out there, trying his damndest to get back to you. And you just making it this long on your own is enough to make your father proud, remember that." He said, giving Sei a gentle smile.
"I know." Sei said, eyes brimming with tears. "But until he gets back, it's my duty to make sure I can do the best I possibly can. It's the least I can do." Eyes watering, Miss Uchiha dropped to her knee's in front of Sei and pulled her into her arms, hugging her tightly.
"I wish I could have been there." She said. "I wish we could have helped you." Sei gave a small gasp, tears finally falling as she hugged the older woman close.
"I miss them." She sobbed. "I miss my mom. I miss my dad. I miss my baby brother. I want them back so bad!" Everything seemed to flash back for the Uchiha's, back to at the police station where they told Sei the news about her father.
"We can't get your mother or brother back, but we CAN get your father back." Itachi said, kneeling down next to his mother and Sei. "And you have us here to help you." Putting a hand on her back and rubbing it soothingly, she slowly started to calm down.
The three Uchiha's looked at each other, having a mental conversation. Nodding, they turned back to Sei, determination in their eyes.
DONE! So, Sei's father is missing, her mother and baby brother are out of the picture and she's been on her own since. Don't worry, her past is going to come up soon and mysteries will be solved and there will a tone more action. And the creep after our beloved main character? Well, he's not out of the story yet!
Once again, sorry for the long wait, I hope you liked the chapter and see you next chapter (if that's possible). Ja ne~
