Be Careful What You Wish For

By: KuraiandSesshomaru

Hello, did you all miss me? I hope not, but if you did that is good too. Just as promised I am putting up chapter ten shortly after I put up nine. Are you all happy that I kept my promise? I hope so. Now I am going to stop talk after I do the disclaimer so you can get onto the story. (Does anyone really read this anyways?)

Disclaimer: I do not own any of Naruto characters and I do not plan to. Thank you.

Chapter Ten:

After getting dressed, Kurai hurried downstairs and put the project into her bag. Sasuke came walking downstairs all ready to go. They walked to school in silence, 'Something is wrong with Sasuke. I wonder what?'

Kurai threw her bag on her desk and walked up to Sasuke. He was staring out the window, as in deep thought. "Um, hey! Are you alright?"

When Sasuke heard her voice, he turned to look at her. "Hm, yeah. I am okay." Kurai frowned. She knew something was wrong. "It is just that I am dating Sakura now…It seems so weird. I always thought I would never do such a thing to betray her…"

"You…Do you want to back down from the plan?" Kurai suddenly felt a mixture of concern and worry. She was worried that Sasuke would want to stay with the one he knew the longest. Then her worry turned to sadness.

Sasuke spotted the look on Kurai's face. "No, its just that…Well, it feels like I am betraying you. Even if you gave me the okay, it feels wrong. I want to be with you and only you." He then moved over to her and tipped her head up. "Don't think, even for a second, that I do not like you."

He bent down and kissed her on the cheek. He pulled away and smiled. Kurai returned his smile and hugged him, Sasuke returning the embrace.

"Well, well, well…You two seem to be getting a little too cozy," a male voice said. Both Sasuke and Kurai unlatched and turned towards the voice.

"Kakashi…"Kurai muttered.

"What do you want?" Sasuke questioned.

"I wanted to see how the new team member was doing." Kakashi smirked perversely. "But I can see you are taking good care of her Sasuke."

Kurai felt herself blush. 'How long has he been there?' Kurai hoped that he had not been there to see the display of affection Sasuke had shown. 'Damn it! I let my guard down!' Kurai thought, silently scolding herself.

"I will be going now." Kakashi left the room. Kurai heard him giggle right before he closed the door. Kurai sighed, sometimes it was really scary what Kakashi says.

"He is such a pervert…" Kurai said. She turned and looked at Sasuke. "But he is very right, you are taking good care of me." She saw pink taint Sasuke's cheeks.

"Really?" Sasuke felt embarrassed so he turned and looked out the window. "Sakura is here…" He stared at the pink haired girl that was waving at him. He looked away pretending he never saw her.

Kurai giggled, "She must be sooooooo happy!" She squealed and jumped up and down. She was trying her best imitation a Sakura. She saw Sasuke smiled at her little show. "OH SASUKE!" She walked up to him and tried to hug him.

Sasuke decided to play along and side stepped 'Sakura's' attack. "But…it is too soon…" he murmured. He saw Kurai pout and then grin.

"That was great!" They both then looked to the person that had entered the room. "Good Morning Sakura." Kurai greeted in her normal emotionless voice.

"Good Morning Kurai. Hello Sasuke," Sakura cheerfully chirped. She walked over to Sasuke, or more like bounced. She tried to hug him, but Sasuke side stepped her, just like he did with Kurai a few seconds ago.

"Not here…" Sasuke murmured in fake embarrassment. She smiled, probably thinking he was shy. He looked at Kurai who was trying to hide her amusement. She then walked to her desk and sat down.

Kurai sat down under a tree, Sasuke jumping down in front of her a few minutes later. He seemed a bit tense, looking all around. He finally sighed and sat down next to her. "She won't stop following me!" he breathed. He heard Kurai try to suppress a laugh. "It is not funny. Even when I think I have lost her, she finds me. I don't know how long I can keep this up. And it has only been a day!"

Kurai looked up her book that she had been reading, turning her full attention to Sasuke. "Can you last…at least five days?"

"I can hold out a maximum of three days…After that I don't want to even be around her."

"Okay, but that will be the first day of the trip. Are you sure you cannot hold out any longer than that? Another two days?"

Sasuke leaned towards her, their breaths mixing. "No, I want to be with you, to be able to kiss you freely…" he purred out. Kurai shivered just at the sound of his voice. But what he said made her feel pretty and wanted.

"I understand…" The bell rang and both of them got up, leaving to their next class.

Kurai walked up to their teacher and handed in their report. When the teacher held up his hand to stop her, she stood there. He flipped through the pages, skimming over them briefly. "Your group did a good job…" He looked up at Kurai.

"Thank you sensei."

"I can tell that all of you really want to go on the trip that I promised to take you on if you did well." Kurai nodded, noticing that the whole class had gone silent. She could feel all of their eyes upon her and she knew why. From what she had heard this teacher never really talk to students. He would give them the instructions on what they had to do after that he would not even talk to anyone, not even to help. "Would your group like to go?" He continued on.

Kurai thought it was a weird question for him to ask. "Yes, sensei. I do want our group to go," she answered. He stared at her and then nodded. She walked back to her desk when he waved her away.

"What was that about?" Naruto murmured to Kurai when she sat down.

"I do not know…"

"SASUKE! WHERE ARE YOU?" Kurai heard Sakura yell. Kurai saw Sasuke's normal face be replaced with a panicked one before he jumped into the nearby tree. Sakura then came into sight a second later, looking all around. She spotted Kurai and ran over. "Have you seen 'my' boyfriend?"

Kurai was unfazed by what Sakura had just said. "I don't know." Kurai felt herself glaring at Sakura in dislike. 'She has been probably been saying this to all the girls that like Sasuke…'

"Oh, okay." Sakura slowly backed away. Kurai walked past her. 'What is her problem! It is probably because I am Sasuke's girlfriend! Heh, now she knows to stay away from him.'

Kurai continued to walk until she felt she was a safe distance away from Sakura. "Can you believe her? By now I would not be surprised if the whole school knows!" She turned and looked at Sasuke, who had just landed next to her.

"Hm…if you think about it, it will be more of a profit for us. Sakura is just making me want to dump her more sooner." He could feel Kurai getting mad at Sakura's boldness in telling everyone.

Kurai gasped and opened her bag, setting it on the ground. Sasuke watched as she reached in and pulled out a black fluff ball. She set it on the ground. "Sorry, I kinda forgot about you…" The ball then uncurled into Yume.

"Well, I know why. Your life is very stressful," Yume observed.

"Thank you for understanding." Yume climbed onto Kurai's shoulder, sitting there. Kurai closed her bag, putting it on her back and stood up.

"This may sound stupid, but is there any way that I can learn how it talk to animals?" Sasuke finally asked.

Kurai looked up wondering if there was a way. "I think there is…" Kurai looked at Sasuke. "I am able to understand Yume because of two reasons. One is because of my power and two because Yume wants to be heard by me. Yume understands what you say Sasuke, but you need to understand what she says. But you will only be able to do that if she wants you to hear her."

Sasuke looked to Yume. "I see…" He looked back to Kurai. "So, it really depends on both the human and the animals will to speak to one another?"

"In a way yes." The bell rang, all of them returning to class.

"SASUKE! There you are!" Sakura pounced and clung to Sasuke. "Let's go get a snack, now that school is over."

'Sorry to abandon you, but…' Kurai turned around to look at the sad couple. "Well, I am going home. I will not be a the 'park' of you go there." Sasuke slowly nodded, understanding what she had just said. Kurai waved good bye and ran off to Sasuke's house.

When she got there, Yanagi opened the door for her. "Are we leaving?" Yanagi asked. Kurai nodded running up stairs to pack up her stuff. She wrote a note to Sasuke putting it on his bed stand as she got ready to leave the house.

"Yanagi are you ready?" Kurai yelled.

"Yes." She can running downstairs with a little suitcase. Kurai nodded and they both walked out of the house.

After they got over the fence guarding her house Kurai could sense that her Father was back. 'Damn it!' Both of them silently made their way across the yard to her balcony. Kurai looked to Yume who nodded that all was clear. Kurai grabbed Yanagi around the waist and jumped up to her room.

"Yanagi, you will be staying in my room for a while. I will get you your own room as soon as my Sister comes back."

"Isn't your Sister dead?"

"No, she is alive. She is going to show my parents that she lives tomorrow…"Kurai whipped around when there was a knock at her door. Yanagi quickly his herself in the closet just as the door opened.

Kurai stared at her Mother's eyes as they looked at hers. Then they turned their attention to Yume. "I have not seen you in a long time Yume," her Mother said coldly. Yume just stared at her.

"What is it that you want Mother?" Kurai finally asked.

"I have been wanting to ask you a question."

"Okay…" Kurai had a bad feeling about this.

"The young man that saved you the other day when you fell off the balcony, what is his name?"

"Don't tell her!" Yume yelled suddenly. Kurai looked at Yume wondering why she had done that.

"Stay out of this Yume!" Kurai's Mother raised her voice.

"Why do you want to know?" Kurai asked.

"I want to know, the name of the man that saved my daughter."

"She lies! GET OUT!" Yume yelled again. She got into a fighting stance, her fur now standing on end. The elder woman looked at her.

"Is this how you treat your master?"

"You are not my master…Kurai is!" Yume growled out.

"Daughter, I expect an answer…" With a last look at Kurai she left. Yume clamed herself down as Kurai sat on the bed. Yanagi came out of her hiding spot, going out onto the balcony.

"Yume? Why did you not want me to tell Mother his name?" Kurai asked, scooting closer to Yume.

"I cannot tell you just yet. But never tell her his full name."

"Does it have something to do with our family's past together?"

"Yes, but that is all I am allowed to say. Kurai, you do not know anything about your family. Nothing about what they do or did and I think it is best left that way."

"About what my Mother said, she was your master?"

"Yes, I was young and your Mother was a very nice girl. It was weird, because though she did not have the power you have, she was able to understand me. We became partners just like you and me, but once she became a Mother she told me to look after Hikari." Yume knew she should have told Kurai sooner.

"As a school student Hikari was wonderful. She had become a Jounin at the age of thirteen just like another student. The other student was a young boy by the name of Uchiha, Itachi. Your Sister and you are alike in many ways. You became a Jounin at the age of thirteen and just like Hikari you have fallen for a Uchiha."

"Hikari liked Itachi?" Kurai asked in disbelief.

"He may have been the one to slaughter his whole clan later in life, but he was a very nice boy. Yours reminds me of him. After a long while Hikari fell in love with him. Even after he slaughter his whole clan, she still loved him. And Itachi had feelings for her in return, but-"

"That is quite enough Yume. If you don't watch it, you might just tell her everything about what our family does…" Both turned to look at Hikari.

"But she had the right to know…"

"Yes, you are right. But I do not think she will like it one bit the moment you tell her. Do you remember how I took the wonderful news when Mother and Father told me?"

"Yes. You tried to follow the orders, even when you…" Yume trailed off.

"I suggest only telling her how you came to become her mentor, nothing else. I will tell her when the time comes."

Kurai was getting annoyed about how they could talk about her like she was not even in the room. "What are you talking about? You know, I am old enough to understand."

"Of course you are my dear Sister. But we don't want you to understand, just yet." Hikari then disappeared.

"What was that all about?" Kurai wanted answers.

"I can't tell you exactly, but let me put it this way. Hikari will tell you what your family does. But when your parents told her, she became…well unstable. That is part of the reason why she left so many years ago. And after she had completed the family's job she told me to look after you. I don't expect you to understand, but Hikari is coming back to protect you."

Kurai stared at Yume feeling completely lost. "Hmm…So, Hikari is not coming back to get attention from our parents?"

"No. Actually Hikari hates her whole family, except you."

"Why me?"

"I guess she feels that you are just like her. Hikari also activated the rare bloodline. Making you very special, because she was the only one that was suppose to be the only on within that century."

"Okay…I am going to go for a walk." Kurai stood up and walked over to Yanagi.

"That was your Sister?" Yanagi asked referring to the older woman that had left a few minutes ago.

"Yes, that was her." Kurai jumped off the balcony She then started to walk around the yard. 'Okay…it has something to do between my family and the Uchiha's. First off, Hikari told Sasuke and me that his parents would never give their blessings to me. Second, Yume got really mad when my Mother asked for Sasuke's name. Hikari loved Itachi, but became 'unstable' when our parents told her something…and not Hikari is coming back, showing Mother and Father she is not dead, to protect me. And I am guessing she hates the family for telling her what they told her…What does it all mean?'

Kurai turned the corner, running into someone. She jumped back and looked at the person. Kurai was staring directly at her Father's dark blue eyes. "Nice day, isn't it?"

He spoke softly. Kurai could not remember the last time she had heard her Father's voice, but she had always liked it.

"Yes, it is a nice day." She continued to stare at his eyes, even if they were looking to the sky. She had and always will have a certain amount of respect for her Father. His eyes the met hers.

"I…I want you to know that I was aware of how badly I have treated you over these years. When I should have been treating you as a daughter, I have only made it seem as if you were some unwanted house guest. And it may not seem like it, but I do care about you."

Kurai felt her heart throb. "Father-"

"You are and forever will be my beautiful daughter."

"Then…say my name," Kurai whispered. She wanted him to know that he was talking to her not Hikari.

"My dear beautiful daughter Kurai." He gazed down at the small girl he had ignored for so many years. She suddenly looked away and bowed.

"Thank you…" Kurai then turned and ran away from her Father. Kurai didn't know why, but she started to cry. She found herself at the park, standing beside Sasuke. She wiped away her tears as he turned around to look at her.

"Are you okay?" Sasuke asked getting up. Kurai looked at him. "Why were you crying?"

"All that happened when you got home?" Sasuke asked. Kurai had just told him everything. "And your Sister loved…" He trailed off.

"Yeah, amazing what I learn in one day. But it did surprise me to hear that Hikari loved Itachi and him feeling the same." Kurai looked up to the clouds. "So, why were you here?"

"I had a feeling that you would come here sometime, so I decided to wait for you."

Flash Back

Sasuke walked into his room to spot a note folded neatly on his bed stand. He walked over and picked it up. It read:

Hey,

I know you are wondering just like I am, so I am going to ask my Sister what she meant about your parents not giving me anything. If I cannot find her, then I just know that Yume will know something. And who knows maybe Hikari will show up…Well, if you ever need me I will be there for you and do not be afraid to tell me anything!

Love you,

Kurai

Sasuke folded the note back up and placed it in a drawer. He knew something was going to wrong so he decided to head to the park. He knew that Kurai would be there sometime today.

End Flash Back

"I see how you are…Hey, do you think Hikari and Itachi are…?" Kurai trailed off. 'It was a stupid question anyways…'

"Are what?"

"Never mind. It would be a stupid question."

"Okay…"

Both of them looked up to see Kakashi walking towards them. He looked at Kurai, "We need you to come to the schools band room."

"Who is we? And what do you need me for?" Kurai asked.

"You will see once you get there…" Kakashi then disappeared. Kurai got up and looked to Sasuke.

"I guess I will see you later." She left, going to the place that Kakashi instructed. When she got there, she saw a lot of students holding instruments. She only noticed a few of them. Hinata was holding a flute, Ino was at a piano, and she saw there was an empty spot where the violin was. There were a lot of people, but she did not know then. She walked into the room.

Iruka turned and looked at the new comer. 'One of Kakashi's kids…' He walked over to her. "Do you know why you are here?" Kurai shook her head. "For the trip we are going on, we want a band to play for one of the nights. Can you play violin?"

"Yes I can play one. Along with the flute and the piano. Why you want me to play in the band?" Iruka nodded. "What about the vocals?"

"Well…" Iruka never really thought about that. "I was thinking that we could play three instrumental songs and then…"

"I can sing if you want to do a song with vocals…"

"Yeah, Kurai is a great singer. Right Hinata?" Ino cut in.

"Yes," Hinata agreed.

"Okay, sounds like a good plan." Iruka knew right away that this Kurai girl was a bright one. After all she was the one that dared Kakashi to ask him out and Iruka has been happy with Kakashi ever since. "Alright, lets get to work."

"K-Kurai?" Hinata said unsure.

"Yes?" Kurai looked at the shy girl. They had stopped practice for the day, because the sun was starting to set.

"You p-play really w-well."

"Thank you and you play wonderfully too." Hinata really did play the flute real well.

"Where did y-you learn to p-play?"

"I don't really remember, but my Sister and me use to play all the time together. Where did you learn?" Kurai really did like Hinata, but she was too shy. Even to people she knew really well.

"My Mother t-taught me."

"You know you will get Naruto's attention when you play." She watched at Hinata looked at her hopefully while blushing at the thought. "It's true." She nodded at the white eyed girl and waved good bye, before she walked away.

Kurai walked home thinking about the times that her and Hikari use to play.

Flash Back

"Hikari?" A young Kurai asked looking up at her older Sister. "Can you teach me to play like that?" Kurai had been walking around the garden when she heard a beautiful sound she had followed the melody ending up in front of her Sisters' room.

Hikari turned and looked at her baby Sister. She smiled softly, happy that her Sister wanted to learn how to play a violin. "Sure, I will teach you how to play." She motioned for Kurai to come over and sit on her lap.

Kurai happily bounced over to her Sister and sat on her lap. She looked up once she was nice and cozy, smiling at her Sister. Hikari took out a violin that had been hers when she was Kurai's age, giving it to her Sister.

End Flash Back

Kurai smiled, she had stopped walking as she remembered. 'Hikari use to be so good to me. And she has come back to protect me from something, but from what?' She looked up as she heard someone approach.

Her smile faded as she watched the person come closer towards her. She started to wonder, 'Who is he?' He looked so much like Sasuke but he looked older and was wearing a weird coat. The coat was black with red looking clouds on it.

The man stopped six feet in front of her. She hid her surprise as she looked into his Sharingan bearing eyes. Then suddenly without her being able to control it, her own three wheeled Sharingan slipped into place. She could sense that he was slightly surprised at what he saw.

'Itachi…' her mind whispered. Next thing Kurai knew he was gone. She scanned the area with Sharingan seeing and sensing no one. Kurai decided the best thing to do was act like nothing had happened. She brought back her Sharingan scolding herself, because she had just shown someone that could be Itachi her power. 'Was that Itachi? It has to be…he looked like Sasuke and could use the Sharingan.'

She turned around as she felt something approach. She looked around not seeing anything. "Where have you been?" Kurai looked down to see Yume.

"What?"

"Where have you been?"

"Uhh…I was at band practice…Hey, what does Itachi look like?" Yume was her only hope to know if the man she just saw was Itachi.

"Itachi? Well last I saw, he looked like…well Sasuke. Of course he always had these two distinct lines on his face. Oh and his hair was always very long. Why?"

Kurai stared at Yume. She had just described the man she had just seen a few minutes ago. When Kurai just stared back Yume asked, "Is everything okay?"

Kurai snapped out of her daze. "Yeah, I am okay. Thanks, let's go home." She waited until Yume was ready atop her shoulder, then walked to her house.

"I heard you have returned. And for what reason?" a cold voice asked coldly. Sharingan met a purple and remained.

"I have my reasons. Why have you come?" the dark haired woman responded.

"It is because of our families, is it not?"

"Yes."

"Is it your Sister?"

"Yes, but also your younger brother Sasuke."

"I see. Why don't you let them handle it themselves?"

"Because I don't want them to go through the same hurt that we went through!"

"They can take care of themselves. Then again I could careless. Do as you wish Hikari. I am not going to take part in it" With that the man left, disappearing into the shadows.

"Itachi…" She stared at the place where he was standing.

Well there you have it. I have kept my promise. Now you keep your of leaving a review. Thank you for all the support and I am going to go and work on chapter eleven. Review!
