Chapter Five: Her Friends

"Ryumi-san", a deep voice called from behind. Ryumi looked back smiling brightly, she knows that voice very well. "Let's go, Godaime summoned for us", there was a pause. "Is here something wrong?" Itachi asked. Ryumi looked back a he view of the hill and the meadows, and then a mild breeze came up to her. She smiled, "Itachi-kun" Ryumi said, Itachi looked at her, her deep emerald green eyes were the most beautiful ones he had ever seen. And if it is only Itachi, if you look closely into her deep green eyes, you would see sparkles, like faint stars. He doesn't know if it is because of his sharingan or Ryumi just had the sparkle in her eyes. "It's nice to see you again…" Ryumi said. Iachi smiled. "Yeah…" he said, "It's been too long…."

So Ryumi and Itachi leaped from tree to tree as they proceeded to the Hokage's office. They are now looked up in Konoha as two of the most powerful shinobis. Regarded as Sanins thought they are not yet recognized. But only a few people know of what is behind the story between Ryumi and Itachi….and while at it. They passed by the chuunins, Ino, shika, Chou, Sasuke, Sakura, Naruto, Kiba, Hinata, Shino, Tenten, Lee and Neji. They were having some lessons with the latest jounin in Konoha. Kiba's sister.

She looked up at the pair and can't help but smile.

"Neechan, what are you smiling about?" Kiba asked, "Those guys" She replied. "Is Ryumi-chan going out with Itachi again?" Sasuke asked, "SHO GOES OUT WITH THAT GUY?" Naruto exclaimed. "Yes…" Kiba's sister answered. "Ne, Can you tell us what happened?" Sakura asked. "Yeah.. my cousin Reiko used to tell me a lot of stories about you guys when I was younger. There was silence as Kiba's sister tried to recall. "Well…" she began, "here goes…"

"Itachi-kun!" Ryumi called out they were thirteen back then, "Hayaku!" She cried. "Ryumi-chan!" Sasuke called out from the window. Ryumi waved back. "Onisan is sill getting dressed" Sasuke said, then a hand landed on to of his head and pushed him, "I'm already here" Itachi relied as he jumped off the window. "Let's go" Itachi said, "Bye Sasuke-kun!" Ryumi called out.

"They were the most powerful batch of chuunins ever, Ryumi Mikagure, who was somehow mysteriously, romantically linked with Itachi, they often suffered the pairings of their teachers and classmates. They were in the same team when they were Genins. Asuka Hyuga, loud and boyish but sometimes edgy and serious she is regarded as one of the strongest in the family. Reiko Yamanaka, with long. blonde hair but childish demeanor. Shikoichi Nara, who is the laziest second to, Akane Uchiha, who share the same innocence and childishness as Reiko only she is Itachi's cousin. And of course me… "

Everything went well.. They were called as "force" a group of blood thirst nins, they say the are missing sanins, others say they are heroes but basically the are jus kids. Really really powerful kids. And their aim is to protect konoha. they also join those fighting competitions against other villages and countries, always emerging as the victor. they couldn't be any happier.. Then..

Itachi became Anbu… then he killed his whole clan. Maybe even Akane who disappered and whose body wasn't found. The remaining group was devastated, they didn't have a clue on what happened to Itachi… but it all started when he became ANBU. For a while Ryumi headed Force, but it wasn't the same.. Ryumi was pretty much heart broken, she didn't eat, she just kept on crying for days, her friends tried everything to make her feel better but to no avail.

Then one day, Ryumi disappeared. Leaving a note that says, she is going to find Itachi and Akane. Reiko and Asuka was given the mission to look for Itachi, Akane and Ryumi, but they never came back. Shikoichi was sent t another country to study, and Kiba's sister was the only one who remained in Konoha…and it is only now after all those years of searching did Itachi and Ryumi got to see each other.. after the long, tiring search

There was silence, but it broke when Genma asked for Kiba's sister to come and see Godaime. Confused, she teleported right away leaving the group of Chuunins wondering. She arrived a Tsunade's office and felt like she is going to cry when she saw the group of people smiling at her. How they've changed…

Ryumi is still pretty, with her long, brown hair tied in a ribbon, her long bangs and deep emerald green eyes. She wore a salmon pink off shoulder and inside it is a sleeveless net. She also wore a skirt with a long trail at the back, her forehead protector is tied on her right thigh and she wore long, fingerless gloves and high-heeled boot-like training shoes. Itachi was wearing a typical ninja outfit with the sleeves torn showing off his toned muscles, And Reiko, with her hair tied up peacock style with some stray strands of her hair becoming braids, her hair decorated with beads. She was wearing a mustard colored bra and yellow fishnets on to of it. She also wore a brown mini short tied with a yellow scarf. Akane was also alive, wearing an Uchiha neck lined sleeve less blouse with reached only under her breast, with the uchiha emble on the back. She wore a skirt with a slit on the sides and her long black air tied up in a pigtail, Shikoichi who was wearing a standard jounin uniform. And Asuka, with her short hair. She wore a white tube bra and denim shorts with a suspender.

"Wll now you look like a girl" Shikoichi said, "You guys.." Kiba's sister said… no one dared speak… she was left behind, who can blame her if she is mad… then "GROUP HUG!" Reiko and Akane chorused. So they did and after all those years they were able to see each other… they were bonded…
