thank you for reading.
NINJA HEARTS 04; that's what you get.
that's what you get when you let your heart win whoa, oh.
"ARE YOU OKAY?!" Axel yelled at you, while you were unconscious, and when you didn't answer,
he picked you up. He started to sprint off, then came to a screeching halt. Naruto stood staring at him blankly, not having moved from the spot where Axel had left him.
"IS THERE A HOSPITAL OR SOMETHING SOMEWHERE AROUND HERE?!"
"Yeah, right...the infirmary is right over HERE!" Naruto pointed in the opposite direction and took off running.
He was obviously excited, and forgot that the infirmary was not in fact that way.
"Oh, wait! This way!" He stated frantically, pointing in the direction in which Axel had run off to in the first place.
You awake in a hospital bed after a few hours, to Axel and Naruto murmuring to each other
and playing a board game. Sitting there, staring at them for awhile, Naruto finally notices that you've opened your eyes.
"YOU'RE AWAKE?!" He shouts, happily. You roll your eyes at their oblivious-ness, and giggle a little bit.
"The nurses said you'd be able to get outta here later today or tonight." Naruto added.
"Ughh, I wanna get outta here now..." You groan, as you throw a pillow at Naruto's spikey, blonde head.
The two of you get into a pillow battle, not realizing Axel had gotten up and was just watching the two of you, leaned up against the wall.
AXEL POV
'I just stood there, off to the side, watching Ray..and Naruto. They seemed happy, but Ray was almost
always happy. I think she likes him...Naruto I mean, and he of course likes her, who wouldn't, that Gaara freak is like in love with her too.
Well I mean I do like her too, but not like THAT...she's like my little...sister.
You can't like someone who's a little sister to you, right...? No. You can't. And I am not at all confused by this, I'm Axel. I never get confused. Uh Er, wait.. do I...?
I had to get out of there...to go think and what not. It's not like either of the love birds would have noticed anyway...'
END AXEL POV
Axel was correct, you and Naruto kept at your pillow fight for a least another half and hour, played some cards, and took a nap.
"Whoa, wait? Axel's gone again?" Naruto asked, confused.
You stood there, looking around, searching for Axel, remembering what had happened the last time he wandered off.
"Oh great, we'd better look for that fool." You say grumpily, wishing he'd just stay in sight.
After twenty minutes of trying to find your red-haired friend, the two of you gave up, you weren't ones for patience, so Naruto took you to his favorite restaurant to grab some grub.
"Two bowls of ramen, please!" Naruto told the smiling old man. The man nodded and murmured something to
a young girl. She smiled as she glanced at Naruto and you, winking at the boy.
"So..." Naruto started, trying to strike up a conversation while the two of you waited for your ramen.
He stopped abruptly, when he noticed the blue-ish white of your eyes, change from their normal dark gray.
Naruto then remembered the day before when your Sharingan and Byuakugan had activated.
"W-What?" you ask him, staring at his scrunched up, puzzled face.
"I was uhh, wondering...about your eyes...I mean how do you have Sharingan... and Byukugan." he questioned, wonderingly.
You thought of your mother for the first time since her death. It was a memory you wanted to forget and
remember at the same time. Naruto kept on with the questions not noticing your lack of attention.
"Oh, and why do you have your Byukugan activated now?" He added, with the same hint of curiosity.
He'd actually wanted to know more, a lot more. He was going to flood you with questions, but you quickly
zoned out again, leaving him there baffled.
FLASHBACK
"My little Michi," your mother said softly, while stroking your short black hair.
"Yes Mama?" you ask, brightly.
"Can I tell you a secret?" she whispered in your little ear and you nodded, excitedly.
She told you all about the techniques of the Uchiha, the one that interested you the most of course
was the Sharingan. A jutsu that could copy the abilities of other ninja's, how awesome was that?
"I wonder when I'll be able to use it Mama!" you add happily.
"Someday...maybe..." She replied, still stroking your messy head.
"Or maybe not.." She added biting her lip.
"W-What do you mean? I thought all the Uchiha get Sharingan Mama?" you question with sad, worried eyes.
"Maybe you could get your father's abilities..." She stated solemnly.
"But my, my father IS-" You say in a quiet voice.
"No. You might not be able to activate Sharingan like your big brother Itachi."
"Why? Mama. Why can't I be like nii-san?" You ask on the verge of tears.
You did NOT like the fact you were different from your big brothers.
"B-Because, you have...Hyuga blood in you." She said looking away from you with a worried look on her face.
You were staring at her with that exact concerned face, looking like a miniature clone of your mother.
"Don't breath a word of this to your brother Sasuke okay? He doesn't know yet..." Her voice trailed off.
You nodded, still not understanding your mother's statement. Why had you been a Hyuga but not Itachi? And what of Sasuke?
The Uchiha woman knew exactly what you were pondering about. She cleared her throat and began to speak again uneasily.
"Your father, your REAL father...is not Tazo, my husband and your brothers' father. Your father is Hizashi Hyuga,
meaning you are half Uchiha and half Hyuga. You also have another older half brother named Neji. He is a year older than Sasuke."
"Neji Hyuga is my brother, why?" You ask remembering seeing the long haired boy around town a few times.
"Well Sweetie, it's complicated, but the clans wanted to know what would happen if they mixed Hyuga blood with Uchiha blood after so long."
She went on about how the Uchiha kekkei-genkai was derived from the Hyuga's, and how the clans wanted to experiment with the genes after Sharingan was fully developed. She said that they meant to try this a long while ago, but they waited for the right couple, aka your mother and father, since had already produced a child that had the most powerful kekkei-genkai in each of their clans, and would most likely have a child even stronger than the ones before. It was just then you realized everything that was going on, your mother thought you'd only be able to use only one
of your heritages abilities, but she was wrong, you could use both!
"Ray?" Naruto's loud voice brought you back to the present. You look up at his anxious face, and then to his three already finished ramen bowls.
"What's going on? Do you always space out like this?" he asks, scratching the back of his head.
"Uhh, actually lately yeah. Sorry, man how long was I zoned out?"
"Only a few minutes." He says and sees that you were eyeing his bowls.
"Yeah, I love the ramen here, haha."
"Oh yes, he'll finished five bowls in ten minutes, he's a ramen eating machine." the old cook added.
You both giggle, then Naruto glances at you seriously again.
"You still haven't answered my questions..."
"Oh yeah, that's what I was thinking about earlier. Well you see I'm half Uchiha and half Hyuga. So I have both kekkei-genkais, and I guess I can't quiet control them yet, so they basically activate by themselves."
"Half...Uchiha? But I thought they were all-"
You interrupt him before he finish his sentence, you didn't want to hear the rest.
"Not me. Or Itachi, I assume." you answer solemnly.
"Or-" Naruto starts.
"Hey looks it's Axel!" You shout, pointing to the red haired wonder on top of a building staring at you.
The two of you get up and run toward him, and boy he didn't look too happy.
"Axel! Where have you been? We were looking for you everywhere!" You yell at the top of your lungs, wailing your arms around like a fool.
"I see that. Have a nice dinner?" Axel says, sarcastically. Still running you crash into someone, a someone with lots of hair.
'Eww her hair got all in my mouth, gross. Man I'm such a klutz, bumping into people all the time.' You think to yourself before apologizing to the long haired girl you just collapsed onto.
"Oh my gosh, I'm so sorry!" You apologize to the girl while holding out your hand to help her up.
"Watch where you're going!" She said coldly, not taking your hand. As she got up on her own and faced you, you realized that 'she' was in fact a 'he', and a he that you recognized right away. He had long silky black hair, and bright white eyes, it was Neji Hyuga, one of your big brothers.
"N-Neji?! Is that you?" You call after the boy who had already stalked away. He turned to face you once again and his face softened.
"Michiko?" He asked quietly, you nod and smile.
"You know Neji too?!" Naruto questioned frantically.
Before you or Neji could even begin speak again Axel shouts at you, "Ray! We have to go at once!"
"But-" You start.
"No! I think I've found him."
"WHAT?! YOU FOUND HIM? How? Where? WHEN?" You scream with excitement.
"Let's go."
"Who's him?" Naruto questioned, he always had to be apart of the conversation, even if it didn't involve him.
"But what about these two? I don't wanna leave them yet, Axeeeeel!" You whine, knowing he was getting impatient.
"Just bring them, we have to leave NOW!" Axel bellowed, you looked at Neji with a apologetic look, he just nodded in understanding.
You grab their hands and follow Axel hurriedly back to the ship.
As you walk up to Axel he asks the others to let you two be alone for a moment before Naruto could bombard you with questions yet again.
"What's wrong Axel?" You ask with sympathy, he did not look up to meet your worried gaze.
"This doesn't look good Ray, not good at all." He answers gravely, finally glancing up at you.
