Hello, I'm Kinnara. I am 14 years old. My favorite anime/mangas are Naruto, Ultra Maniac, DNAngel, Ayashi no Ceres and many more. I like to listen to Simple Plan, Story of the Year, POD and many more…lots more. Anyway, I'm here writing a fan fiction about Itachi and a made up character named Kinnara. You'll learn all about her as the story progresses. Some people might complain, but I might go a little OOC. OOC means Out Of Character for those who don't know. I will also say, this is when Itachi is younger and NOT in the Akatsuki. I'm making this from the point that Itachi starts the Shinobi Academy…so…that's about it. Read and Rate and please don't flame. I worked hard on this story and I don't want people yelling at me about it. If you don't like it…just don't read it, or just read it and try to endure it, it might get better. Thanks

Chapter 1- Welcome to my Life
Extra- This is not based on the song by Simple Plan
----------------------------------
A young boy stood outside his home, is dark eyes looked gray in the dim morning light. His face seemed locked in a grim position, but that broke as he took a deep breath and started to walk down the path. His hands were in the pockets of his dark pants, his black t-shirt matched exactly, a strange fan symbol was on the back. A smirk was on his face as she went from the slim path to a wider one, a lake sat right there, the clam blue surface was not moving. The wooden dock was empty, all for the one misty shape that sat there hunched over. The boy stopped and stared at the shape curiously. It seemed unmoving till it suddenly stood up, stuck a slim arm and tossed a rock smoothly along the surface of the lake, it bouncing silently before it lost the momentum, the rock falling into the water. The boy was about to open his mouth, but instead he just continued to walk, his sandals crunching on the ground.
The figure whipped around making the boy stop short. Glancing over his shoulder, he saw the figure was a very young girl about his age. Her black hair tangled, and mysterious misty blue eyes watched him. Her own clothes, baggy white pants and a blue top seemed worn and old as there were some tears. Her features were fearful as she opened her mouth, a single word was produced.
"Uchiha?" she asked then whipped around, seeing as adults had appeared, the girl disappeared as if she had never been there at all.
The other shinobi looked where the girl had been standing there to the boy and walked up to him. The boy glanced up not fazed by them.
"Itachi-kun, did you see anyone around here? A young girl, about your age?" one of them asked.
"No." Itachi lied and shrugged, "Just me."
"Alright, keep looking then." Just then the shinobi dispersed, and the girl came back, creeping from the mist. Taking her place again on the dock she sat there, one eye on Itachi then other on the lake. Itachi shrugged and continued walking. Odd girl…I don't think I have seen here in Konoha before…not my problem…besides what can once little girl do...?
-----------------------
"Uchia Itachi…late again I see." said a young looking sensei, her brown eyes stared at him.
"Yeah what ever Zimi-sensei… ((A/N: Random name…))" Itachi said and he just took his seat boredly, laying his head on the desk."Alright, so as I was saying we have a new student joining us…if she would stop running and let us find her, she would be here by now." Zimi said looking towards door while sweat dropping.
"Would she happen to have short black hair, misty blue eyes and tattered looking clothes who also likes to skip rocks?" Itachi asked and Zimi stared at him and nodded, "She's by the lake…I saw her there on my way here." Itachi yawned and just laid his head in his arm closing his eyes. Barely five minutes passed before the door was heard sliding open, and Itachi looked up. There she was again, looking as disgruntled as ever. Her short black hair looked more knotted then before and it looked like she had just slipped as her hands were bruised and her knees were cut, the blood making small spots on her pants.
"Finally…she has arrived." Zimi sighed and took the girl from the hands of the other jounin's, "Alright then…this is Kinnara, she will be joining us for- ouch – the rest of year –will you stop?" Kakashi scolded Kinnara as she had kicked her in the leg tiwce, trying to break her grasp, not even making a sound as she did. The kids in class all laughed but Itachi, who watched in silence, analyzing the girl, "Go sit next to (A/N: yet another Random name here to let you know….XD)) Kakurona!" Zimi ordered pointing to where a young boy sat.
Kinnara was then let go and she walked quietly past Kakurona and planted herself on the right side of Itachi. Zimi then looked furious but looked very surprised as Kinnara spoke from the first time she had entered the room.
"I want to sit here….I'll be good from now on…I promise…" Kinnara said, her voice was light, like a feather floating on the wind. Everyone stared at her as she directed her eyes down on her feet. Itachi yawned. He did not care if she sat next to him or a million miles away from him, he just wanted the day to end.
"Fine…but no trouble." Zimi said looking up at her hoping for her to speak, but all she did was nod.
The day passed slowly, and no one heard Kinnara speak again. Once lunch came around, Kinnara just walked outside with everyone else and the first thing she saw was the single simple swing on the tree outside the academy. Marching to it she sat on it and sighed, the started to push herself back and forth. Everyone watched, but Itachi, who spent his time with his back turned. When he finally turned around to see the girl swinging, he did not watch her, but was watching her neck because when her hair was pushed off her neck, an odd black marking was seen. Once they were back in class, Itachi finally seemed interested in Kinnara, and instead of sitting beside her he sat behind her, but that did not work as she just sat next to him again. Itachi frowned but Kinnara just lay her head on the desk and stared into space. Seeing the moment Itachi reached over and lifted Kinnara's hair carefully up off her neck when-
"KYAAAA!" Kinnara squealed and she shot up and covered her mouth. Zimi looked over her shoulder and glared at Kinnara, who was looking at Itachi, who of course looked asleep. Kinnara sighed and lay down again when the bell rang. Everyone jumped up, including Itachi and they all left the class. Kinnara lagged behind, and when she left the building she looked up to see Itachi. Kinnara stopped and stared at him. Itachi opened his mouth to say something but Kinnara had already walked past him.
"Do you want me to walk you home?" Itachi asked quickly and Kinnara stopped and looked over at Itachi and blinked then smiled.
"Yeah….that would be nice…" Kinnara said and Itachi walked up to her.
"So…where do you live…?"Itachi asked and looked at Kinnara. "Ummm….well…there was this nice man…he was tall and had blond hair…he said I could live with him..." Kinnara said thoughtfully and uneasily. It had been the most she had said all day, but that was not why Itachi had dropped his jaw.
"Your living with…Hokage-sama!" Itachi questioned with wide eyes.
"Is that bad?" Kinnara asked for once with out hesitating.
"That's...not bad…but…it sure is good!" Itachi said with a shrug and looked at Kinnara, her blue eyes seemed to laugh, but she never made a sound. Sighing Itachi started to guide Kinnara towards the Hokages' home. Both stayed silent as they walked through town, Kinnara simply amazed by it all. Once they reached the tall building where the Hokage was Itachi looked at Kinnara.
"This is where Hokage-sama is?" Kinnara asked looking at Itachi, who just nodded.
"I guess this is where I leave you then." Itachi turned around but before he had even taken a step he felt a hand grab the back of his shirt, and looked behind him to see a fearful looking Kinnara gripping onto him
"I…don't…want to go…in by myself…" Kinnara whispered. Itachi looked at her wide eyed then smirked and turned around.
"Alright…alright…I'll go with you." Itachi said putting a hand on her head. Kinnara brightened instantly a smile spread across her face happily. Wow…she looked so sad before. Her smile seems out of place. I wonder what happened to make her like this...
"-tachi…Itachi…are you alright?" Kinnara asked snapping Itachi from his thoughts and he nodded.
"Yeah, let's just go!" Itachi said and walked up the path with Kinnara, the little girl smiling brightly.
-------------------
"Yondaime-sama?" Itachi asked and knocked on the door, Kinnara standing behind him, peering around him to watch the door.
When it finally opened the blond head of the Fourth Hokage peered at Itachi, his blue eyes curious to see such a young ninja at his door, then he saw Kinnara peer around Itachi's side. A smile spread across his face.
"Kin-chan!" Yondaime exclaimed
"Otou!" ((A/N: When a little kid calls for their father, they use this lovingly. It basically means daddy.)) Kinnara said throwing her arms up and running to hug the Yondaime. ((A/N: If you don't know what Yondaime means, it means Fourth Hokage))
"Kin-chan. I hear you caused a few problems today, running away from the ANBU." Yondaime commented, poking the girl's nose.
"I wanted to play Hide n' Seek, they did not want to, so I snuck away to go skip rocks." Kinnara said with a little grin.
"Well then, you must have had fun huh?"
"Uh-huh!"
Itachi stared at the two. In public, the Yondaime was calm, cool and collected, but what it looked like, when Kinnara was around he acted like a father; funny, cheery and a little hyper active. ((A/N: Or at least that's how my dad is /)). A few minutes passed before the Yondaime noticed Itachi again, and set down Kinnara.
"Kin-chan, is this boy a friend of yours?" he asked looking at the girl who nodded happily.
"His name is Uchiha Itachi; I sit next to him in class. He wanted to walk me home, so I let him!" Kinnara said happily.
"So, this is the youngest Uchiha then…" Yondaime said and inspected Itachi and nodded, "I think you did good Kin-chan!"
Itachi blinked as he was very confused. Kinnara cheer happily then hugged Yondaime and looked towards Itachi who was just staring off into space. Kinnara poked him once snapping him back to reality.
"Itachi-kun…Thank you for taking me home…and thanks for being my only friend." Kinnara said smiling up at the Uchiha.
"Eh…anytime Kinnara…" Itachi said with a shrug.
"Call me Kin-chan, Kinnara is to long." Kinnara said with a small smile.
Itachi walked forwards and stepped on the stairs and then looked back with a smirk and a thumbs up, "Alright then Golden Girl."((A/N: The reason I made Itachi call Kinnara Golden Girl, Is because he nickname, Kin-chan means Golden Girl, or Gold Girl. Kin means gold and chan is the ending for a young girl. I thought it would be cute to add this)) Itachi said then walked down the stairs. Kinnara then turned from the stairs and ran to her room and clambered on the bed and opened the window to see Itachi walking down the path.
Kinnara inhaled deeply and shouted, "MATTA ASHITA ITACHI-KUN!" ((A/N: Matta Ashita means see you to tomorrow.))
Itachi looked up and smirked again then waved and shouted back, "MATTA ASHITA KIN-CHAN!"
---------------------
((A/N:Well, That's the end of chapter 1. 4 pages of my work. I know it might not be that long, but it is only the first chapter. I hope you all enjoyed it. I am still figuring out if Kakashi would be Itachi and Kinnara's sensei. It does not say in the manga that Yondaime was the Yondaime when he was Kakashi's teacher…anyway. I hope you all liked this idea. Read and rate, and have a happy reading!))
