Title: Coming Back

Author: Speedmaster

My Past-

Jiraiya is like a father to me, yet like a brother; he's my family; same with Tsunade and Oro. After I found out my parents were killed by missing nins who seek my strength when I was about 2 years old… I was sent to Jiraiya to take care of me and since Tsunade and Oro were close wit him I suppose I met them a long time ago when I was little… That's what I was told and what I sort of remember. Soon after, Tsunade and Oro left Konoha choosing different paths, at least that's what I was told by Jiraiya … and he told me that they would definitely come back. While Jiraiya is on his mission I was always sent to the Uchiha Residence and have been protected. I don't understand why I would be protected if I'm so powerful as people say... but I suppose I'm grateful of it because I met Itachi-san and Sasuke-kun; their parents are really great too. But whenever I'm with them I feel …. Different. I think of how life would be if my parents were still alive... but then when Itachi-san is with me, I feel awkward… this feeling is different from how I feel towards others…like Jiraiya, Tsunade, Oro, and Sasuke… it's a warmer feeling... it might just be love.. hehe… it's weird. I felt like we got closer as each day passed and the more I stayed near him the longer I wanted to be with him… I love Itachi-san… and he loves me, I got closer with Sasuke-kun as well… I suppose we are closer as siblings and so after three years with Itachi, it changed when an Uchiha member committed suicide They believed Itachi-san was involved. They thought that Itachi-san was involved… how could they… Itachi lost his temper silently and I had to stop him… I yelled his name loud and clear and he looked straight into my red eyes as I guarded the slightly wounded Uchiha members and then Sasuke-kin told his brother to stop and he apologized and he bent down. Knees to the floor. I thought… how different he has become… all I could to is sigh in relief and hug him and gave him the promise of my life that no one knows of… "as long as you need me, I'll always stay by side, no matter what becomes of us"

Later on I was told that Itachi-san left on a mission for a long time… I felt odd to hear that… I can't remember what happened yesterday after I went to the Uchiha Residence to visit Itachi-san and Sasuke-kun… I thought that maybe I must've had a really nice time to forget it, but I also found out that everyone in the Uchiha clan has been killed… I just can't believe who would do such a thing just leaving Itachi-san and Sasuke-kun alive… it's so awkward did this happened right after I left yesterday…? I don't remember a thing… Jiraiya said everything would be fine… but Sasuke must be so lonely.. and so the next Jiraiya told me we are going to a shrine to estimate my powers of the gods.. I don't understand but I'll go anyways to really understand I wonder where Tsunade and Oro are… Jiraiya told me they left to seek a new path, but I really want to see them soon…

Deep inside I want to cry out and tell the world to stop leaving me behind, but I can't I just can't… it's… not possible everyone needs sorrow in there life… or else... it just wouldn't be living .. but why is everyone leaving, near the same time.. it's just so weird I hope to fine out soon enough

Reality-

That's what I thought… but now I'm back in Konoha; right before my eyes is the gate… I walked up the gate and waited for the people to open the gates and as they looked upon me, I gave them all my identification and their eyes were wide open… I guess they remember me.. because I was always waiting on the days for Jiraiya and everyone else I knew to come back on there mission.. they looked at me said, "welcome back Akatsuki Rikku…" with a warm smile. (A/N Akatsuki is her last name and Rikku is her first but you say the last name first in Japanese)I stared at them and smiled warming and ran towards where my favorite Ichiraku ramen store to get some breakfast. I wondered if they could really tell if it was me if I didn't give them my identification… I'm wearing a mask and a bandana over my eyes … I can't let Sasuke-kun realize who I am yet… after all today is the Chuunin exam tournament. As I heard Sasuke-kun is in it which I believed he could make it this far… I'm so proud for him! But I can't see him just yet… he'll loose distraction seeing me…
