Disclaimer: I've said it before and I'll say it again, my poor brain would NEVER EVER come up with something as awesome as Naruto. So, I don't own it. Kishimoto Masashi does.
An Akatsuki Story... Chapter 29
At our camp, everything was silent. We were in a huge open field, in front of a stone cave were-currently-no bear was found. Kisame was either trying to get asleep of having bad dreams.
Itachi was sitting so close to the campfire that I was expecting his cloak got on fire any moment.
I was staring at the fire for a while, but switched to the sky quite quick.
Now it was just Itachi and I.
Kami knows what would happen now. Maybe he'll shove a kunai at my throat, like a certain other Uchiha did last time. Maybe he'll threaten to burn my hands… Maybe-
"How did you know?"
His back was turned to me, so I couldn't see his face.
"Kekkei-genkai."
Silence. Only the fire that swallowed the wood and Kisame's snoring were heard.
"… That's the reason Leader chose to accept?"
"… I guess."
"Are there others with that kekkei-genkai?"
"I don't know my family."
Silence.
"How does it work?"
I explained it to him. And then, yet another silence. An owl appeared at the ink black sky. For some reason, I can't stand silence very long. Then, I start talking 'bout random things.
"One day, when I'm stronger, I'm going to search for every clue I can find on my family and I'm going to find out what happened to them. I know they aren't death." The reason why I just told this to a S-rank criminal, I don't know. I just know I said it to myself to encourage myself.
And, like that, I whispered to myself.
"I always pictured my family as a happy one, me being the youngest, were I have an older brother and-" I stopped. I figured Itachi Uchiha didn't want to hear anything of this stuff, especially the big brother part. I
continued to stare at the stars, telling the story in my head, to myself. The story about my made-up family. And so, I peacefully fell asleep, drifting of in another flashback dream.
.
.
I was staring at the Uchiha brothers with my dango half in my mouth. I heard something and turned around. A very young lady with dark purple hair and grayish eyes was talking loudly to the owner of the shop.
I let my dango for what it was and ran over to her, tapping her on the shoulder.
"Anko-sempai!" The first time I had met her was at the academy, when Iruka-sensei was sick.
It had been an unforgettable lesson. Mitarashi Anko turned around. "Ah! Mizuiro-chan! How is it going? Is it okay for you to join me at that table over there for some time?" I nodded and followed her at the table not so far away from the exit. Just when I sat a while, watching Anko-sempai devour her dango, I felt someone tapping my shoulder lightly.
The older Uchiha boy, with two stripes close to his eyes and his grey-black hair in a ponytail, was holding my dang and asked: "Is this yours?"
"Yes. Thank you," I answered. On that moment, Anko-sempai got a weird flicker in her eyes. I didn't know why and left it for what it was.
"So, Itachi-san, are you enjoying the festival?," she asked. My eyes widened.
"You're Uchiha Itachi! The one they all call a genius!" Itachi blinked and said 'Yes'.
"Yes, that's my o-nee-san! He's the best!," a little voice behind Itachi exclaimed. The little brother -Sasuke, yes- came from behind his 'o-nee-san'. He had been staring at the fireworks they had started to set off.
A brief smile came on my face, but disappeared ever so quickly.
"Oh crap, I'm missing the fireworks!" I stood up and ran towards all the people staring at the sky.
"Sorry, see you later, Anko-sempai!" "See you later, Mizuiro-chan!"
I decided to try and climb on a roof, since I was too little to see above all of the heads.
Then, just when my hand was grabbing for the roof, it hit me. My dango. I left it at the shop. I turned my face around so quick that I lost grip on the roof and fell. Honestly, it wasn't that high…
Now, the logic thing would maybe be that Uchiha Itachi would come and save me, fall in love with me and we would live a long and happy life. Ha-ha. Sorry, that ain't going to happen. One of the reasons for that being the Uchiha in question was currently happily eating his dango. And when Uchiha Itachi is enjoying his dango, nothing –and then I really mean nothing- can interrupt him.
Thus, what's the next logical thing? That a certain silver-grey haired guy with a mask would catch me? Again, ain't going to happen. He was enjoying the silence at the training grounds and reading his book. What then?
I fell. But I was a ninja-in-training and we ninjas learn how to fall without getting hurt! … Now that was a lie. The truth is that I was used to falling like this. I did it at least 2 times a day. And no, not on purpose!
So, instead of breaking an arm or a leg, I landed 'safely' on my back.
I groaned and got up, running back to the dango stand. I picked up my dango ,that was in front of no one less then Uchiha Itachi, saw that Anko-sempai had disappeared and decided to stay there and watch it all from my place.
"I was waiting for you to come back."
"Oh, just shut up… I know I forget things quickly…"
SPLASH! And with that, I woke up. To see Kisame grinning like he just accomplished his life goal. What is it with them and waking me up like that?
A/N: Have a nice day/night, everyone! And please review to tell me what you think!
