Thank you to all, who has added this to their favorite story list. Here's the third chapter to 'Itachi and Kisame… Are Friends? As everyone knows, I don't own the Naruto characters, they belong to Masashi Kishimoto. I only own the idea of this fanfic. And the character Hisaga. Enjoy reading.
Chapter 3 Betrayal
When she got home, she discovered that her father was gone.
"Mom, where is father?" Hisaga asks, worried. He's usually home when she gets home. This was very unusual behavior for him.
"Welcome back home. Don't worry about your father, he went to talk to the Hokage. Hinata and Neji were worried about you. When they heard you come through that door, they came running. But saw your father slap you, and you leaving in a hurry. They wanted to follow you, but I stopped them. I knew that you would want to be left alone. What did you do to him?" her mother asks her in her usually monotone voice. She would only use that voice when she was worried and scared.
"Mom, I'm sorry. I just walked in and told him I got injured. I also told him what they told me. They told me to go back home while I still can because they would need the beds for the more serious injured people. He got angry at that and slapped me across the face. I really want to leave this place. Ever since I turned 10 years old, he's been beating me up. I just don't like it, I have told him that many times. But he won't listen to me." Hisaga answered her mother. Neji and Hinata come running in then and Hisaga looks into the bag and gives them their presents, she bought them on the way home.
"Hi, Hisaga!" they both exclaimed at the same time. They looked at what she was doing and they were surprised that she got them presents. They immediately opened up the bags and saw what they got. Hinata got an angel ornament, and Neji got a scroll containing ways to control chakra. They were both excited and grateful. Hisaga turned to face her mother and took out her mother's present. Her mother got a very breakable glass heart. It was clear and very small. It's in two pieces, like when you are in love you have a full heart and when you have a broken heart you can take one piece and put it somewhere else.
"Hisaga! Where were you? Where did you go all night and day?" Hinata asks. Hisaga could tell her little sister was worried about her. She looked at her mother like she needed permission to talk. Her mother gave her a nod and Hisaga told her little sister what had happened. Hinata and Neji were always amazed at how adventurous her stories were. They all went to the living room and they listened to her story. When Hisaga was done telling them the story, she told them that she was tired. They both agreed to letting her go to her room to rest. After all, she had proof that she was injured in battle. Hinata and Neji had realized that she was starting to get bruises in other places of her body. They were both worried about their sister/cousin. They both wanted to ask but were afraid it might open a wound on her heart.
When Hisaga was in her room, she wanted to start packing so she could run away. But knew she had no where to go. So she just sat on her bed and wondered what she would do if she wasn't able to see her little sister and cousin. After a couple of minutes of starring at the wall, she started to write an apology letter. When she was finished with it, she starred the the wall and her mind started to wander off. After a while, she started to doze off. When she finally awoke, her father was in her room.
"When did you come back?" her father asked, with a little concern in his voice. Hisaga was startled for a couple of seconds. But then regained her composure.
"About five hours ago," Hisaga replied to her father. She thought she was hallucinating that her father is actually talking to her in a civil manner. It was very rare nowadays, ever since she turned 10 years old. That was two years ago.
"Why are you scarred to talk to me and your mother?" he asks her. He just kept a close eye on her movements. She starred back at him and after a couple of seconds looked away.
"For a couple of reasons. One is that you beat me up. Two, mom just stands there watching you beat me up. Three there's nothing to talk about," she replies to his questions. She starred at the wall. She could feel his eyes watching her every movement and feel the tears starting to fall down her face.
"The Hokage said someone saved you and went against his own people. He wants me to make sure you remembered to draw a picture of him. I'm just doing as he told me to... You look up to him, don't you?" he begins explaining and ends with a question. He stayed there and awaited for her reply, but when he didn't get any, he got up and walked up to her. He puts his hand under her chin and forces her to look at him. When she is finally looking at him, he saw tears going down her face. "Am I really that scary?" he exclaims.
"No, you aren't that scary. I just have a really bad feeling that something is about to happen at the Uchiha's place. And yes I do look up to him. It's better to look up to him than you," she replies after a little bit of looking into his eyes. She couldn't control the tears any longer, they started rush out.
"What do you mean something is going to happen at the Uchiha's place? Tell me more," he says after letting those answers sink in. When he realized that it was more than friendship on the line, he rushed to the phone. He called the police and tried to warn them. They didn't believe something major was about to happen. So they took it as a joke. Hisaga knew better, she went to their house as soon as she could. But got there a little to late. The whole clan was murdered. She found Itachi running into his own home. She followed him and saw what had happened. She saw Sasuke crying and dropping to his knees. She really didn't hear anything until she heard Sasuke screaming no, like he was trying to deny something. That's when she realized that Itachi has finally taken care of the special mission from Danzou. She tried to run back home, but was stopped by Itachi and they both knew that this was going to happen.
She knew the deal was very important to Itachi, because it involved Sasuke's future. It would be like this. Itachi would kill his whole clan while the village kept Sasuke safe and watched him grow up. When Sasuke is old enough, they were to let him go after his older brother and kill Itachi. That was the whole plan. She could see tears running down his cheeks. That's when she was able to escape before Sasuke could see her. When Sasuke caught up to his older brother, he saw tears running down his face. Sasuke was completely confused, why would Itachi kill the people he loved, and yet start crying because he killed them. Sasuke was just so distraught, that it was easy to knock Sasuke out. In the morning, he'll remember, but Itachi and Hisaga would be long gone by then. She knew it was going to hurt Itachi more than it has hurt Sasuke. After all, Itachi is the one carrying the burden of killing the clan. Earlier that day, Hisaga wrote a note of an apology to Neji and Hinata, she left the drawing of the mysterious man that rescued her, on the small coffee table in the living room. Once Itachi knocked him out, they got their stuff and they ran from the village.
