Fate

Chapter 2

After Iruka-sensei left the classroom, a huge group of girls got up from their seats and surrounded Sakura.

"Why does she get to be in Sasuke's group? I don't get it!" a girl exclaimed.

"Yeah! That's not fair!"

Oh my GOD, they are so annoying. It's not like I wanted to be in the same cell as that Uchiha. I would be more welcomed to switch place with you but I can't.

"Too bad, Sasuke-kun and I were destined to be together, so BACK OFF!" Sakura shouted at the girls.

"What did you say again, 'forehead' girl?"

"How dare you say something like that?"

They just never stop...it's getting on my nerves...

"Sasuke-kun!" a girl called out as the Uchiha prodigy headed out the room.

"Sasuke-kun! Do you want to have lunch together?"

In less than half a minute, the crowd was gone, the pink hair genin alone in the classroom.

Why am I here again nii-san……

Nii san…….

Flashback

It was a quiet night. The silence was almost too unnatural and frightening. Nothing was making a sound, yet nothing could be heard, not even the wind blowing or the insects chirping.

In the middle of a dark forest, there were a brother and a sister living together in a plain little woodhouse. Even though the little house was exposed to danger in the forest, but the young siblings were not life-threatened, since they were powerful shinobis. They didn't have a real family; their parents had left them alone in the forest to train while their distant cousins had their own ways of living in other countries. They didn't complain about their lives since they had each other.

The siblings' names were Kyosuke Fuma and Miyuki Fuma.

From day to night, they studied the scolls their parents had left them and practice the jutsus they read about in the scrolls. Time flies and they had stayed in the forest for seven years now. The siblings were now sixteen and ten years old.

On one summer night, the Fuma children had finished their daily training and were eating dinner at their little house.

"Miyuki, I had been thinking..." Kyosuke said quietly.

"What is it nii-san?"

"Maybe I should go look for our parents..."

"Why? They had left us in this forest to live on our own, they weren't much of a responsible parent anyways..."

"Don't say that Miyuki, they are still our parents and I am going to look for them."

"OK, whatever you want nii-san, but just take me along with you."

"I'm sorry Miyuki, but I can't. I am not sure where they are located right now and this journey might be very dangerous."

"But nii-san..."

"No is a no, I'm sorry."

Miyuki frowned at his brother's answer.

"But am I going to stay in this house all alone?"

"No you will not, it's too dangerous."

"Then where am I going to live?" the younger sister asked.

"You are going to stay in the hidden village of leaves."

"WHAT! That's where the Uchiha clan lives! I am not going to live there!" Miyuki exclaimed.

"Miyuki, the Uchihas never did anything to us, why do you hate them so much?" Kyosuke sighed at his sister's reaction.

"I read this in our clan's history scoll. Those Uchihas are despicable! They even thought of wiping out our clan! They are just wicked!"

"Miyuki, they only thought about it."

"They are still wicked because they thought of it!"

Kyosuke didn't say another word. It was useless to argue with his stubborn sister. His sister's mind could not be changed so easily. Ever since the day she read about the history of Fumas, Miyuki had developed hatred for the Uchiha clan. This hatred seemed like it could never be melt by anything; she will live with her dislike for Uchihas and she will died with it.

"Nii-san, am I just going to go into the village and live there...I would be like a stranger to everyone..."

"No Miyuki, I already got everything under control. All you need is to act like this girl and nobody will know that you are Miyuki Fuma."

"You mean you have the girl with you right now?"

"Yeah, so you should starting getting information from her. She is right behind that tree." Kyosuke pointed at the big oak tree out the window.

Miyuki got up from her chair and headed toward the door.

"Nii-san, you are a pervert, kidnapping a girl just like that," she said as she exit the house, leaving her brother blushing madly behind her. No one liked being called a pervert.

The Fuma sister saw a pink hair girl sleeping, more like unconscious, under the oak tree.

She is a pretty girl, but her forehead is a little too wide to be average. Miyuki thought as she put her hand on the girl's wide forehead, starting to read her memories.

Images were rushing to her head like a video being fast forward. A piece of memory surprised her and she pulled her hand away.

"Sasuke-kun, do you want to go on a date with me?"

"No," a raven hair boy answered.

This girl's got a 'Sasuke complex', Miyuki thought, the boy is quite handsome...

Suddenly, her attention was caught with the symbol on the back of the boy's shirt.

A fan...he's...an Uchiha! And I thought he was handsome...Shame on me!.

Miyuki scowled herself as she continued to get every bit of the girl's memory in mind.

"My name is Yamanaka Ino, what's your name?" A blond girl asked a crying girl with pink hair.

"...Ha...Haruno...Sakura..."

"Well, Sakura-chan, come back here again tomorrow..."

Miyuki snapped back to the present. She had an unanswered question for her brother. She ran back into the house and saw Kyosuke washing the dishes.

"Nii-san! What is going to happen to this girl while I take her place in the village?"

"Oh, I am just going to put her to sleep until I come back."Kyosuke said without looking at her.

Miyuki was confused.

"But she needs to eat..."

"Just don't worry about it."

The younger sibling frowned. She didn't want Sakura to get hurt or starve, she never wanted anyone to get hurt because of her. She couldn't stand people getting hurt because of her. But she also trusted her brother. How could she not? Kyosuke had looked after her for the seven years they spent together in this forest.

"Ok nii-san. When are you going to leave?" Miyuki's voice trembled as she asked.

Apparently, Kyosuke noticed the change in her tone and turned around to face his dear sister.

"I am going to leave tomorrow morning," the older sibling said, hugging his sister, "I will be fine, and I am sure you will do fine by yourself too. Didn't you say you always wanted to make some new friends?"

It was true, the only friends Miyuki had were the animals that lived in the forest.

"Nii-san...when will I see you again?" Miyuki looked up at his protective brother with tears in her eyes.

"Don't cry Miyuki, I promise I will come visit you once a month, on a full moon night, no matter what happens."

"Promise?"

"Promised."

The Fuma sister smiled lightly as she pressed her head into her brother's chest, hugging him tighter.

"But...what about the girl? Where are you going to put her?" Miyuki asked curiously.

"I will take her with me."

"But you said the journey would be dangerous! I don't want to see her get hurt."

"Don't worry, I will protect her."

"Ok..."

"Did you finish what I asked you to do?"

"Of course. It won't be hard to act like that girl. Her life is pretty simple, but it would be hard for me to pretend to be weak..."

"Ha ha...but you will be stronger when you act like weakling, watching people from behind, fooling high level ninjas and kill them when they are least expected...ha ha."

"What do you think I am, nii-san, a murder machine?"

"You know Miyuki, you can call me Kyosuke if you want."

"Kyo...suke..."

"Yes?"

"Saying you first name makes me sound old."

"Ha ha, you're as cute as ever Miyuki-chan."

That night, Miyuki fell asleep in her brother's strong arms.

But when she woke up next morning, she found herself alone in the house.

Nii-san...I will do my best and wait for you!

Then, she left the house and head to the hidden village of leaves.

From today on, I will be Sakura Haruno.

End flashback

It had been six months since I had started to live in this village. I hate to admit it, but it feels good to have some friends.

Sakura was stilling sitting in the same seat.

Nii-san... I get to see him in two days...I'm so happy...
