Chapter 20: Halloween Special Part 2

i do not own Naruto or it's characters besides Takahashi, Juliet and Jeri. I own Lori, and the woman with black hair in her flashbacks.

Yakutia is really Yakumi not Yukitia, it was auto correct!

Chapter 20

Jeri gappes at the cosplayers of several Uchiha, Minato and Kushina. Feeling chakra, special chakra merging into her eyes actuvating her Sharingan she knew she would be able to see through illusions and tricks of the mind. They were still standing there...

"Fugaku...! Mikoto!" Shisui cries out in surprise knowing it was really them. Their hairs was that of an Uchiha's and pulsates, as does any chakra when they are around those they are of blood relation to. It made Shisui's chakra pulsate as well and it seems Itachi's was too by the look of deep thought on his face.

"Mother... Father..." Itachi whispers with a strong and steady voice, but on the inside he felt his heart breaking even more than the day he had to kill his clan. He quickly looks down not wanting to meet his parent's gaze knowing that he could never again face them after that.

"L-Lord Fourth! Lady Kushina!" Shisui bows to his late Hokage, Minato his wife. Shisui looks up at his clansmen before him and the uzumaki's.

"How? How are you here?" Shisui asks in disbelief as he feels his body shaking only slightly with anticipation, hope, relief, and even joy. All these emotions mixed inside Shisui and Itachi as well seeing as he was doing the same as him.

Itachi however, felt one more thing. Fear. Fear that his clansmen would turn on him, make him an outcast, and blame him for everything when in truth, they had only to blame themselves. For if they had changed he would not have had to plan against his own clan, Shisui wouldn't have died, and then he himself would not have had to kill those precious to him. Sasuke would still have a family, parents, a big brother to look up to and train him. A big brother to love, instead of hate.

Several pairs of Sharingan red eyes glared down at them. But not at Shisui, it was Itachi. Fugaku and Mikoto were in all honestly, proud of Itachi. He had chosen his path and protected the village, and Sasuke. Just like he promised.

"Itachi..." Mikoto sounds as she places a hand on his cheek to get him to look up at her, however he keeps his gaze leveled with the ground.

"I'm so proud of you..." Mikoto says quietly as she not only hugs Itachi, but also Shisui as well. "I'm so proud of both of you." Yes. Mikoto knew about what happened to Shisui, that he had killed himself at the Naka River, near the Naka Shrine. She had seen the note that Shisui had written one day while doing laundry for Itachi, as he had been on a mission. She kept that to herself. She only let Fugaku know about the letter and they made sure not to let Itachi know, nor Sasuke.

Itachi felt his eyes stinging and sucked in a breath. He wanted so much to embrace his mother, his father too. But he would not, he could not. After what he did to them he could never touch them nor look them in the was a wonder how his parents did not hate him. Instead they still loved him.

Shisui came out of his shock the moment he felt the side of his forehead resting on the side of his aunts forehead along with Itachi. Shisui slowly lifts his arm as he gently embraces Mikoto with his left arm. Gripping the back of her shirt tightly as he felt his heart wrench. He doubts he could ever look her in the eyes again and say 'I love you aunt Mikoto' after he had plotted to use the Sharingan against her and the clan.

Itachi, no matter how much he wanted to, would not touch his mother. He had been a terrible son, he had killed his clan, betrayed them, helped Shisui get his eye taken by Danzo by being away on a mission, helped Shisui'splan fail, and murdered them all leaving no one but Sasuke. Leaving Sasuke alone.

"Forgive me..." Itachi whispers with pain clear in his voice. "Forgive me for-"

Mikoto shushes her son as she looks both Shisui and Itachi in the eyes. "There is nothing to forgive... You both did what you thought was best, did what you felt was right. You stayed on your own paths even when it got hard like true ninja's. You protected what you hold dear, even if it was at the cost of your clan's lives, your family's. I could ask for no better a son or a nephew... I'm just glad, to see you two alright!" Mikoto says with a kind smile on her face. At these words and that face both the boy's felt their hearts break.

"Are you kidding me?!" Yashiro, a 45 year old man with tan skin and squinted eyes, one of the police officers of the Uchiha clan that interrogated Itachi, yells in a fit of rage. His Sharingan was spinning wildly as his eyes revealed the Sharingan.

Fugaku stares at Yahsiro sternly, but makes no attempt to calm him.

Mikoto glares at Yashiro. "Oh?"

Inabi Uchiha glares at Itachi and points at him accusingly and full of hatred. "That bastard killed Shisui!"

"No! No, he didn't. I killed myself! Don't you dare say another word about Itachi like that again..." Shisui snaps out glaring coldly. Lori was surprised, that Uchiha never snaps at anyone.

"Well he killed the Clan!" Yakutia, a short haired man with black hair and slanted black eyes accuses as well.

At that moment, the Senju's and Uchiha's and even Lori, knew those three had fucked up.

Mikoto and Fugaku turn on those three with deadly blue aura's seeping from their bodies, Sharingan's blazing like a wild fire. Lori and Jeri felt reminded of Izuna's demonstration of chakra at their first training session. The two could feel the raw killing intent between two obviously Jonin level ninja, the chakra swirled to life around them and flooded the street scaring many children and families away to their houses in a panic. Screams of horror filled the night as the children ran for heir parents and to the next street.

Jeri shook feeling the massive amounts of chakra and the intent to kill Dead in the air. She had never felt such killing intent, she saw it on Naruto but never felt it! She was scared. She was fearful and terrified. Sure she was 19 but when you face killing intent and power this strong you can't help but tremble.

Lori stood tall and kept her arms crossed. Her eyes narrow in rememberance of this feeling, she couldn't place it but she felt killing intent and energy like this once before. And not from Izuna their first training session... For some reason her body kept calm, maybe it was for reasons she couldn't remember?

This energy... Chakra, I feel different. It's like I remember this from somewhere... I just don't know what.

"That is my son you are talking to and your future leader. You will never speak of or to Itachi like that again!" Fugaku bellows, his voice deep and demanding much like his chakra and Mikoto's.

"If I ever hear you say something like that again, I. Will. Kill. You Myself. Am I clear?!" Mikoto grounds out threateningly, her chakra taking a new life as it spins wildly around her like the wind in a storm, like a tornado. Destructive.

"...Y-yes... Fugaku-sama, Mikoto-sama!" The three Uchiha's repeatedly bow to the leader and his wife as they then bowed and done the same to Itachi and Shisui.

"The only reason he-" Shisui began only to be cut off by Mikoto.

"That's enough. Another time maybe, but not now." Mikoto orders and Shisui immediately bows his head. "Yes, Ma'am."

Kushina sweat drops and flings a fist into the air. "Way to go Mikoto! Yeah!" Shouts the blood-haired kunochi as her best friend smiles at her. Minato and Fugaku sweat drop. The two men could always be intimidating, but when their wives were pissed is when the husbands no longer looked intimidating, they looked like fluffy squirrels compared to the terrifying and powerful beasts that were their women.

"Mikoto is scary..." Minato chuckled.

Fugaku sighs. "You have no idea... But only when she's angry."

"Lori, what the fuck is going on?" Jeri whispers in her ear. Lori shrugs.

"How the hell should I know?" Lori responds.

Everything was quiet as the new ninja look curiously at the two girls.

"Aw! So pretty and adorable!" Kushina gushes with a rosy blush on her cheeks as Minato sweat drops. Mikoto looks closely at the two girls and grins, gushing as well.

As the two woman begin gushing and fawning over the 19 and near 16 year old's the men in the vascinity sweat drop at the two woman's antics.

"Here they go again..." Yashiro remarks rather depressed. The men nod in agreement.

"They've been doing this for an hour, each time they saw little children, and teens..." Minato sighs out.

"It must be a woman thing." Inabi assumes and all the men sigh but nod.

"We will never understand women." Fugaku comments and Minato nods.

"I'm 45 and I still don't understand women." Yashiro points out adding to the fact that they will never understand women.

Mikoto and Kushina are finally pulled off of the two girls by their husbands. "Mikoto, I think we need to talk..." Fugaku then drags his wife away along with Minato dragging Kushina away.

It was silent in the street for a good 15 minutes before they came back with the two women smiling big.

"Sorry about that! I just love your outfit, you look so cute!" Mikoto grins apologizing to the two teens. Kushina nods eagerly.

"Yeah! Adding the cat ears and tail adds to it, you know!"

Jeri blushed lightly as Lori is slightly irritated and slightly violated.

"But why are you wearing the Uchiha crest?" Inabi asks Jeri curiously. The only reason they don't know she is an Uchiha is because her looks are nothing like an Uchiha's, nor did they see the Sharingan earlier and it is not activated now.

"I am an Uchiha. See?" Her eyes open to reveal the Sharingan, stage one. Fugaku looks slightly surprised before looking at Lori.

"And you?"

Inabi lifts Lori's untamed hair looking closely at it. "Her hair color is like an Uchiha's and it's in downward spikes, it's messy." Lori's eye twitches once at that.

Yashiro looks down at Lori and try's to look into her eyes. The problem was, Lori wasn't going to let him or anyone else. She had already been Sharinganed earlier that day, not again. She kept her eyelids closed shut lightly, making her look relaxed as if she was going to sleep.

"Open your eyes." Orders Yashiro.

"No." Lori responds defiantly.

"Come on, you heard the man! Open your eyes!" Yells Inabi as he pulls on Lori's strands of hair making her ground her teeth together.

"I've already been sharinganed once today, I'm not opening my eyes."

Yahsiro chuckles a bit at that. "Sharinganed huh? Don't you mean genjutsued?"

"Same thing in visual sense." Lori replies not liking how people were getting so close to her and a guy pulling her hair doesn't help either, in fact she was ready to punch him. Right. In. The. Balls.

"Enough! Can't you read her shirt? She's a Senju." Yakumi shouts and points to her too big shirt that she borrowed from Hashirama, obviously kimono-styled. Lori sweat drops.

The fuck's a Senju? Lori Internally screams out. Oh that's right, Uchiha is a clan so Senju must be too.

Inabi Uchiha pulls harshly on Lori's hair making her tighten her jaw.

"Keep it up and I will punch you in the balls..." Lori hisses a forewarning at her captor, who laughs.

"Senju's got spunk!"

Yashiro frowns. "Hey man, let her go."

Mikoto and kushina glare daggers at the Uchiha holding Lori captive as does Jeri. "Get the hell off of her!"

"That's my little sister you jackass!" Jeri shouts throwing a punch at Inabi who easily moves out of the way.

"...Sister... Jackass?" Inabi questions.

Inabi seemed to shrink in size with Shisui and Itachi towering over him with red eyes, a testament of their power.

"As I told you once before... You assumed I have patience..." Itachi says slightly annoyed because these proud Uchiha wouldn't see past their own clan.

"I don't accept bullying of women." Shisui growls cracking his knuckles menacingly.

"I'm fine, I can't blame them if they hate me. But I'm no Senju." Lori interveins and Shisui glares at Inabi. He saw her as a little sister damnit! Or at least he thinks he does. He would take no bullying towards Lori or any other girl! It was all he could do to not jump over Lori and beat the SHIT out of Inabi.

"...Fine. Are you okay?" Shisui asks softening his look when he looks at Lori as he checks her head easily because of the height difference. Lori quickly swats his hands and head away.

"I'm fine."

Hahsirama, Tobirama and Itama glare at Inabi, practically daring him to manhandle a girl, who does not pose him a threat, again.

"So If your not a Senju, then why are you wearing the Senju emblem?" Minato asks.

"Why are all of you wearing swirls on your clothing?" Lori asks sarcastically with a raised eyebrow, looking directly at the swirls located on either the back of some of their clothing or the shoulders. Minato sighs, he fell into that one. Kushina merely giggles at Lori, she was similar to her when she was in her youth.

"It's the symbol of Ushiogakure, Kushina's village. It symbolizes our friendship with them." Minato explains patiently. Lori nods looking at all he newcomers warily. She had no reason to trust them, in fact she didn't trust anyone here. No one but herself.

"I'm wearing the Senju shirt because this bitch right here," Lori points to Jeri by her side. "Is making me dress up or cosplay, whatever she calls it. On the bright side it gets her to not bother me for the rest of break."

Kushina and Mikoto glare at Lori. "WHAT DID YOU JUST SAY?!"


After that little experience Lori learned to watch her mouth around Kushina and Mikoto. Mikoto and Kushina learned that kitchen utensils don't really harm Lori, they hurt, but in the end all their utensils broke like they were hitting concrete.

"How did our utensils break?" Kushina asks curiously as she inspected the damage done to her ladle. It was snapped in half after hitting Lori on the skull with it. That never happened before, not when she hit her husband, Jiriaya or any other person.

"I'm not sure... Maybe she drinks a lot of milk?" Mikoto suggests though it was more of a question than anything. She inspected her spatula which was now in three broken peices: the handle, the top part of the spatula, and the 'stem'.

Lori just sat there near Mikoto and Kushina who were also sitting on the ground, or more of sitting on their knees. All Lori did was look at the damage done to the utensils that had been used on her head not a few seconds prior. On the bright side, Mikoto and Kushina had managed to give her huge bumps on her head which were smoking by the way. Other than the aching of her abused skull she felt nothing else.

Mall the men stare at the two women either terrified, proud, indeference or with a smirk. Madara and Izuna stare with indifference, Minato and Fugaku as well as the rest of the Uchiha stare with terror. Tobirama stares with a sweat drop as Kushina definitely reminds him of Mito. Scary. Hahsirama laughs at the memory of when Mito was angry at him.

"So do you drink lots of milk?" Kushina asks nicely.

Lori looks at Kushina in a dead stare. "...No... Ma'am..."

Kushina and Mikoto shrug and move on to Jeri. "You Don't look like an Uchiha..."

Jeri smiles and hugs both Kushina and Mikoto who hug back sweetly. "That's because I look more like my grandmother, not my father."

They nod.

"So do you know where we are?" Minato asks Itachi kindly.

"New Orleans, Lord Fourth. It seems we are in a different world which I will explain with the help of the girl's later, if that is alright?" Itachi responds politely with a question to which Minato accepts.

"What are your names?" Fugaku asks sternly.

Lori and Jeri stare at each other for a second. "Jeri." "Lori."

Lori watches Fugaku carefully, anticipating an attack. Nothing came. He just stares at them, watching them closely. Something was off about Lori in his opinion. She was too cautious.

"You, Lori, look more like an Uchiha. Who are your parents? I may know them." Fugaku asks having a slight curiosity as to why Lori looks like an Uchiha, if she looks like one she should have the Sharingan or unlock it soon.

Lori stays quiet for a few moments thinking really hard. She honestly couldn't remember anything. Come to think of it, she couldn't remember anything past eight years... Eight years old that is! Lori had to really think hard. She didn't remember who her parents were or what they looked like, all she knew was that they had abandoned her and from what she was told, had a new family. The only thing was this family that had been the only ones to stay with her was rather, peculiar. They were violent, aggressive and rude, sometimes. They were the ones who taught her the rules. But if Fugaku was talking about her birth parents, she didn't know them. She knew this one woman who burned a cigarette into her back, she was told that was her real mother but she didn't exactly look like Lori at all.

"Well?" Fugaku asks starring to lose his patience. Lori was inwardly trying her best to remember, but she couldn't find any memories.

"I'm not sure." Lori finally answers honestly, with curious undertone. Fugaku stares at the teen before him.

"What?" Fugaku asks rather irritated about Lori not knowing who her own parents were. "What do you mean you're not sure, they are your parents!"

Lori flinches slightly, a side effect of all the times she's been yelled or screamed at since the age of eight. "I mean, I don't know J-" Lori quickly made a save. "Jackie." She was going to say jackass instead but realized that may not be the best descision.

Fugaku raised an eyebrow while Madara smirks. This was going to be good.

"Fugaku. I meant to say Fugaku, you just look like Jackie." Lori covered up once again and Fugaku stares sternly at Lori.

"Very well."

Minato puts a hand on Lori's shoulder and feel her lean, toned muscles tense underneath his touch. He would be sure to ask her about that in private, away from the Uchiha. They were already hateful and skeptical of her, or at least some were. She didn't need anymore reason to be under watch.

"What do you mean, you don't know? How long has it been since you've seen them? A year? A month? Because if it's a short time I'm sure you'll-" Minato's rambling was cut off by Lori.

"I haven't seen them since I was at least eight. I don't remember anything about them." Lori says monotonously looking bored.

It was silent for a few moments. "So... Why don't we all go to he house?" Lori suggests as Tobirama nods. It was now midnight.


How did you all like the chapter? It took me two days to get this one done! I am currently working on something else too and am loaded with homework.

Please answer these questions and give your own opinion! Thank you!

1: what did you feel when Itachi and Shisui saw their loved ones again? What all went through your mind?

2: why did their loved ones show up on Halloween night before midnight? Why were Kushina and Minato there?

3: your thoughts and feeling about Kushina and Mikoto hitting Lori with kitchen utensils when she cussed and them breaking and not leaving Lori very damaged beside aching bumps on her head?

4: thoughts on when Fugaku questioned Lori about her Lois and her birth parents and Lori not remembering anything before eight years? Why did she not remember anything?

5: why does Lori not trust ANYONE? Who or what is this 'peculiar family' that has never left Lori and why did they tell her that a woman with different looks was Lori's real mother when that woman abused her?

6: What do you believe these 'rules' were that the 'peculiar, violent, aggressive, family told her were? How many rules?

7: why did Lori tense under the Fouth's touch? When he put a hand on her shoulder to show his support and tried to give her hope about remembering her parents?

8: Thoughts on Shisui thinking that he thinks of Lori as a little sister? Will there be a chance for him to see Lori as more than a sister, like a girlfriend? What about when he and Itachi warned Inabi to back off along with Mikoto, Kushina and Jeri? What about when Itama, Hahsirama and Tobirama glare at Inabi?

9: sweet moments? Funny moments? Sad moments? Pairings you are rooting for? Pairing moments? Who do you think would be the best match, or matches if you can't decide, for Lori?
