"Mimiko...can I have a moment to talk to you seriously...in private?" Naruto asked in a gentle tone. "Yeah. Actually, I feel like I need someone to talk to right now, too." I gripped Naruto's hand as he asked our teacher, Kakashi-sensei for some "alone time." We got permission to leave the classroom so we grabbed our stuff and left.

Chapter 3: Past Mistakes And Future Regrets

As soon as we went out the door, Naruto made me run down the hallways, pass classrooms, down 3 flights of stairs and out the double doors. We ran outside, off of school grounds, across a few streets and finally stopped at an area with many scary trees and the path lead to a dark area. "Um Naruto, I'm kinda scared-" "Don't worry. I'll protect you. Now just close your eyes and don't open them." I shut my eyes and found myself being pushed by Naruto. I froze as Naruto continued to lead me to who-knows-where. "It's okay, you can trust me." After he said that, I felt a little more relaxed. 'He's right. I should trust him. And I will...' I thought. I suddenly noticed that Naruto stopped moving me. "Naruto?" "Mimiko, you can open your eyes now." I opened my eyes to find the dark area not dark at all. In fact, the area was an enormous, breathtaking field of beautiful flowers and Cherry Blossom trees in bloom.

"Oh...my...Naruto! This place is lovely!" I said as I walked towards the colorful array of Lilies and sat next to them. "You know, Lilies are my favorite flowers." Naruto came next to me and sat down. "Really? And why is that?" Naruto asked. "Before I was taken in by The Uchihas' when I was a little girl, my parents' marriage got worse after my father started taking drugs such as Coke, Crank and Marijuana and making my mom take them at home. After being forced to take them by my father, my mother got addicted to it and kept on doing it even though she told me that she didn't want to. She said that she couldn't help it and that she was sorry that my life turned out the way it did. After a few days of my parents' drug addiction, my mother sent me to live with her mother, my grandma Sophie. My mother was a Japanese woman who loved to travel and that's how she met my father who was a Caucasian man who shared many similar interests along with her. But everytime my parents got into an argument, I always loved to look at the Lilies that were in every one of my relatives' gardens. It's like the Lilies were always there with me...through the good and the bad."

"Wow. That's such a sad story. Well, I just wanted to apologize for earlier. I noticed I made you a little...uncomfortable because of my pervertedness. I'm guessing that a guy got to you?" Dang he's good at guessing. "Actually, 3 guys at once." I confessed. "Well just to let you know, I won't be one of those guys...unless you say I can." Naruto added with that sexy smile that any girl would melt over. Naruto came near me and gave me an embrace that I usually get from my brothers and Gaara meaning that Naruto is worth keeping as a friend. As we were walking to my house (yes we were skipping school), we were talking about how my brothers do some of the stupidest shit that anyone has ever seen.

After School

Naruto and I were just hanging out in my room listening to Linkin Park, Evanescence, Three Days Grace and Fall Out Boy in peace. "Hey Mimiko. How do you think your brothers are going to react when they find out that you never came back to school?" "Trust me. They won't find out-" "MIMIKO LILLIANN KURASAI!" I heard Itachi yell as he slammed the front door. "Oh fuck. Naruto! You have to get outta here! It's too dangerous here!" I pulled Naruto up from my bed and pushed him to my window. "What about you?" Naruto asked in concern. "Don't worry. I'll be fine. Just go!" As Naruto started to climb out of the window, Itachi was banging on my door so violently I swear he was going to break it down any second now. Naruto made it outside and on the ground. "I'll call you later." Naruto whispered loud enough for me to hear. I nodded and blew him a kiss as he ran out the front gates and down the street. As soon as Naruto disappered around the corner, Itachi broke down my door. "Itachi! You're gonna pay for that d-"SLAP! My cheek was turning red because Itachi slapped me across the face. As I was trying to recollect at what just happened, I was shocked and scared of Itachi.

"What happened? You never came back to school!" Itachi's voice boomed and echoed throughout the whole house. "I-" I started. "Don't think we haven't noticed that you skipped school altogether! And I betcha that Naruto kid was here too! So what were you guys doing here, huh?" "STOP YELLING AT ME! YOU KNOW THAT I'M NOT LIKE THAT!" I yelled, defending myself. "IF YOU'RE NOT LIKE THAT THEN HOW DID YOU LOSE IT ALL THIS PAST SUMMER?" Itachi raised his voice too. I was starting to cry. "YOU DUMB SHIT! I WAS FORCED ON IN CASE YOU FORGOT!" "SURE...THAT'S WHAT YOU WANT US TO BELIEVE!"

All of my tears kept on falling, I couldn't stop them. Itachi finally realized what he's been doing and saying. He went to step towards me but I stepped back, turned around and dashed to my room, locking the door. I threw my back to my door and I was screaming and crying so hard because my heart felt like someone just took a blade, cut it in half, stomped on it then threw the remains in a engulfing flame. I heard Itachi call my name, telling me to open the door. "Mimiko, please. Talk to me." Itachi kept saying. "NO ITACHI! I HATE YOU! I HATE YOUR GUTS!" I screamed at the top of my lungs. After that, I heard fading footsteps going down the stairs. I went over to my stereo and grabbed the red fox that Naruto bought for me on the way home.

Flashback

Naruto and I were walking through a little market area and decided to go in this mini store with stuffed animals. When we got in there, I immediately sped over to this red fox that was about the size of my torso alone with its gold eyes and a look of mystery that was upon it. "AW! KAWAII!" I squealed as I cuddled with it. "Do you like it?" Naruto asked from behind me. "Yeah." "I'll buy it for you." "Oh no! I couldn't-" I started. "It's okay. I want to." Naruto said in a calm and serene tone with that smile of his. I blushed and followed him as he paid for the stuffed fox. I spoke up as we walked to my house. "Naruto..." "Yeah?" "Thank you." He wrapped his arm around my neck. "No problem."

End Flashback

Sasuke's P.O.V.

I couldn't believe what happened earlier between Mimiko and Itachi. But its been done and everyone knows that you can't change the past. "Sasuke...can you go see if Mimiko has calmed down and see if you can talk to her for me. I highly doubt that she would want to talk to me right now." Itachi said in a depressed tone. I slowly and quietly walked up the stairs and knocked on Mimiko's room door. When I knocked at the door, it opened and I saw that she was fast asleep and cuddling some big stuffed red fox, dried tears staining her face. "Mmmnnn...Naruto...thank...you..." Mimiko mumbled in her sleep. 'Naruto...he must've been here with her earlier. That would explain the fox. I wonder...what did they talk about exactly? Maybe just some open-hearted conversation or maybe more than that...' I thought as I picked Mimiko up and set her on her king-sized black bed. I tucked her in and gave her a kiss on the cheek and quietly shut the door behind me.

End Sasuke's P.O.V.

"Sasuke. How is she?" Itachi asked as he walked up to Sasuke. "Mimiko fell asleep. I'll talk to her tomorrow and explain to her okay? Just leave her alone for now." Sasuke sugguested as he went into his room and went to bed. Itachi decided to do the same and go to bed
