A/N: I stopped there because I was lazy, it was getting too long, I had to think of the story, it was the perfect cliff hanger, and I are lazy. (Hence I said I'm lazy twice)

Haha! Grammar check was wrong! LOLOL… ignore me .-. It was the underlined part, that's what it was edited as, I had to keep it.

I do not own the wonderfulness of Naruto!

Chapter 21 – Love in A Flashback?

"It all started when the Uchiha clan came onto the land of my people…" I closed my eyes at the memory of my mom telling me this story all those years ago.

~Flashback~

I giggled as my mommy told me to go to my room to prepare for bed. When I ran in, I went to my bed and hid under the covers, confident that my mommy wouldn't find me. I heard the door click open, and a happy sigh was sounded in the room.

"Oh where could my Suki be?" I giggled from where I was hiding.

"Did I just hear her? Maybe she's in… the CLOSET!" I let out a slightly louder giggle, knowing my mom was playing along with me for my enjoyment. "Not here… hmmm…" I heard her step closer to the bed, I squirmed a little.

"Maybe under… the BED!"

"Hey! This isn't under the bed mommy!" I shrieked with laughter when my mom tricked me, and began tickleing me. She eventually stopped and my giggles resided. She looked at me seriously for a moment and we sent each other a loving smile.

"Mommy?"

"Yes dear?"

"Can you tell me a story?" My mommy mock sighed and smiled down at me.

"Will you go to sleep right after?" I nodded enthusiastically, my pigtails bobbing up and down.

"Alright dear, I'll tell you the story of our clan-"

"Like grandma and grandpa?" My mom let out a chuckle.

"Older than grandma and grandpa."

"How old mommy?" My mommy sighed.

"Do you want to hear it or not?"

"I'll listen mommy! Please tell it!" My mommy shushed me so she can begin.

"Once upon a time there were the first people of the Kiwachi clan." Mommy looked to see if I was listening, I nodded for her to continue.

"They lived in luxury, for they were the most powerful in Konoha at that time. They were basically the royal family, and your long ago ancestors were the king and queen of the land. The Hokage was not a part of Konoha rule at that time, so they ran the shinobi and were the chiefs." Mommy looked at me again. "Do you understand so far?" I nodded at her again; she nodded in return and let out a sigh.

"But then, the Uchiha clan came, and they felt that the Kiwachi clan should not be ruling over the land of the people, who were at peace with our ruling." Mommy frowned at me. "Do you want me to continue?"

"Please?" Mommy sighed.

"Alright dear." She closed her eyes in thought and continued. "The Uchiha's wished to start a war with us, believing that they were the strongest clan in the entire fire nation. Our clan, being royalty, could not refuse this because they had to show the honor for the clan."

"Mommy what's honor?" She smiled at me.

"Honor is pride for yourself or pride for what you are." I smiled back and made an 'o' face.

"So the war started, but it was not as important as future ones, which is why it was never written down in the history books of Konoha at the academy. Now listen up dear, I want to tell you a little secret about our clan." I perked up, showing that I was listening.

"We have special blood like the Uchiha clan does." I gawked at her.

"Really? Do our eyes turn red too?" My mom shook her head.

"No, but we can make weapons out of our own blood." I smiled at her.

"Wow! Really?" She giggled at nodded at me.

"Your dad told me this story many times, but the gene skipped him. He thinks that you are able to use the jutsu, he will try to teach you it when you're older." I smiled, excited.

"I hope I can! And what happened during the war?" She smiled at me for my eagerness.

"We were close to beating the Uchiha clan, but we failed at last minute when a single man joined the battle. His name was Madara. He is believed to still be alive to this day, but I haven't seen him in the flesh my whole life."

"What happened?" I asked in shock, she frowned a little at me.

"He mastered the Sharingan, making himself immortal from our attacks. He was the turning point of the war for the Uchiha's." Mommy and I let out a sigh in unison before she continued.

"After we surrendered the war, they took control and created the beginning of Konoha as you see today. They also created the position of the Hokage during their rule. But, they wiped out all our history that was in Konoha, causing them to be the ones to find Konoha; but we know they stole it from us."

"What happened to our clan after that?"

"The Uchiha clan made us apart of the minority clan, commonly calling us 'impure' for what we can do with our blood. We were a mockery to the Leaf Village, and most Kiwachis left for the Villages in the Snow to start a new life. This created a division in the family years to come, but I will tell you that story tomorrow night before bed."

"Mommy please tells me it now!" Mommy gave me a stern look.

"No dear, you need your sleep, now go to bed." She kissed my forehead after she tucked me in. "Sleep tight my little angel." I smiled at her.

"I love you mommy." I heard a faint 'I love you too' and the door clicked shut. I fell asleep not that long after.

-A few hours later-

"Come on Suki get up!" my mom whispered to me, panic filling her eyes, as she startled me awake.

"Mommy, what time is-"

"Shhhhh! That is not important!" My mom cut me off as she pulled me out of my bed and rushed me to the pantry. "Now hide in here until mommy and daddy get back!" Mom said as she closed the door, leaving me in the darkness.

I never got to hear the story of my split family.

~End Flashback~

I looked up at my three squad members when I finished telling the story, Kito looked at me.

"That really doesn't explain your clans powers." He deadpanned.

"No shit." I smirked at him when he chuckled along with Kinoto. "That was an introduction, for I don't know the full powers of my clan, but Aki does. She happens to be a distant relative of my clan. The guys looked at her in surprise.

"Really?" Kito asked, looking between us both. Aki confirmed with a happy nod.

"I am a part of the clan in the Snow! They sent me here to not only keep a watchful eye on Suki but to also enhance my powers from my side of the clan!" Kinoto looked at us when she threw her arm around my shoulders, since we were sitting next to each other.

"How are you able to do that?" Ooo Kinoto is curious now huh.

"For those of the separated clan were to join together in harmony, the gods will restore the power once given to them long ago. But only by piece by piece." I quoted from the memory that was from a book about our clan.

"What does that mean?" I smiled at Kito.

"The more we stick and work together, to more powerful Aki and I will get." We smiled at each other and looked back at Kito. I sprang to my feet. "Well that's enough of Aki and I for the day!" I let out a catlike stretch. "How 'bout we go to Ichiraku's for some ramen!" Kito chuckled but agreed, the same with Kinoto, and we were off.

*I wonder how strong we will get further on into the future…* I smirked at Aki, knowing that she heard my thoughts.

*Lots!* She shot back to me with a smirk.

Finally, Squad 12 was back together from their approximately 3 year-long break. It was time to rock Konoha's socks off!
