Hello.
It's me again, bringing you the next chapter.
I just want to thank those who have favorite and followed my story so far. It means a lot to me.
Well, I hope you enjoy it :)
I DO NOT OWN NARUTO.
Fire.
It was burning.
She has to save them.
She was running but they seem so far away.
Just a little bit more..
She stretched her arm out.
"Mama! Papa!"
A pair of emerald eyes shot open.
She immediately sat up, putting a hand to her heart. Sweat covered her entire form and she was panting harshly.
Looking out her bedroom window, it was still dark outside and she definitely can't go back to sleep anymore.
After getting her breathing under control, she got up and stretched her arms over her head.
'Might as well get ready for school then.'
"It wasn't me," blue eyes met crimson ones "I swear!"
"Who was it then?"
He mumbled something under his breath.
"What?"
"Maybe Kaori san ate it."
She raised a well manicured brow. "So you're telling me that my mom ate the whole box of ramen?"
"Yes..?"
"Idiot!"
"Ow! That hurts! Stop it! Karin, my hair, my hair!"
The duo stopped when they heard a giggle from behind them. Karin still had a hard grip on the blond's hair when they turned around and the look on his face only made the person laugh harder.
"Good morning, Karin chan, Naruto kun." she said softly.
"Hinata chan! Get this she-devil off of me!"
Karin kicked him in the shin before letting go.
He dropped to the ground clutching his injured leg.
"Serves you right," her glasses glinted as she adjusted them "C'mon Hinata, lets go."
"B-But-"
Karin dragged Hinata along before her sentence was even finished.
Naruto glared holes on Karin's back.
A tap on his shoulder interrupted him in the midst of cursing about "soulless redheads."
"Excuse me. Is this yours?"
He looked at the book he was offered and saw his name on the cover. He stood up while grabbing his book from the small hands holding it.
"Yeah," he grinned "I must've dropped..it.."
Large green orbs stared at him and she let go of the book.
Then she began walking in the same direction as the two girls without uttering another word.
Her long pink hair swayed softly against the wind.
'She's the girl from my class.'
The wind blew a bit stronger, messing his blond locks up even more.
He frowned.
'And the look in her eyes...'
A gust of wind flew past him.
'..is what I see in mine.'
There was a knock on his door.
"Come in."
It opened to reveal a young man with dark hair holding a tray with a hot cup of tea and a plate of dango.
"I brought 'breakfast'." he said sarcastically
The man chuckled lightly. "Hn."
He laid the tray on the table beside the bed.
"But seriously though, try eating a proper breakfast once in a while 'Tachi nii."
"Hn."
"It'll be good for your health."
"Hn.
"You're not even listening."
"Hn."
Sasuke sighed. "I just don't want you to get sick, okay."
Itachi's shoulders tensed a little before relaxing again.
He turned his head to Sasuke's direction, a smile intact.
And even though he was facing Sasuke, his eyes stared at nothing in particular.
"Don't worry. I'll be fine..now go on or you'll be late for school."
He seemed hesitant to leave but Itachi was right.
"Alright. See you later Aniki," he took the tray with him on the way out "and call one of the maids if you need anything"
"Hn."
When the sound of the door closed, Itachi let go of the breath he was holding.
'It's fine.' he coughed violently.
As long as the red stains on his sleeves were concealed...
'Everything will be fine.'
Alright, that was the end of chapter 2.
This story will be a slow-burn for sure cuz the characters must get to know each other first before they can proceed to the next level.
And there will be some typical 'high school drama' too.
However this is my first story so my writing kinda sucks but I'll try my best to improve on my mistakes.
Thanks for reading.
