CHAPTER 2: HACKNEYED PHRASES

``Do you want to do this ? `` A raven haired asked. His hands were holding her hands tightly. Almost painfully.

`` Please. I want this. So badly. `` the woman whimpered. She leaned in and kissed him.

`` You'l regret this. ``

`` I won't. Not with you. I love you so much and I want this. ``

Immediately the woman found herself on the bed. She smiled as her lover started kissing her neck.

This mission turned out to be most surprising.

I woke up the next morning earlier than I usually do. Checking my clock to see what time it was, I found it was only five in the morning.I dressed up and got fresh, because I knew I wouldn't be able to go to sleep again. I went to my window and looked out. I couldn't stop my gaze as it fell on the white house in the corner of our lane.

Yesterday there was such an uproar when the dead body of the old woman was found.

People found it earlier than I had expected, since nobody bothered with her. But the neighbors somehow found out around four p.m. I was practicing in an empty plot in our next lane when Estelle came running over to me.

`` Guess what has happened ! `` She said excitedly.

She then led me over to the house where so many people were gathered. I had to say, I felt a little annoyed and at the same time on-guard when Sai kept glancing my way. Why was he doing that ? Was he suspicious of me ? He doesn't know I have sharingan and there wasn't any other way I could have killed that woman because if I hadn't paralyzed her, she would have screamed. All throughout this, I kept a calm face and even hugged the maid who usually visited her to clean her house and cook food.

I had to keep my cover so nobody could even guess that I am involved in this. A murderer. Or that I have comitted several homicides.

Me; a disturbed, messed-up thirteen year old teenager.

Then later my mom and Sai had said they had to go somewhere and left with me and Estelle alone.

Even if she's only a year younger than me, she knows a lot about me. That's probably because mother talks a lot about me in front of her and Sai. I never remembered telling her that I wasn't her real sister. I also never remembered telling her my birth date. This proves that mother and Sai talked about me in front of her, and maybe they still do. First she used to wish me a happy birthday and even buy me something small but now she has stopped.

I guess when someone never bothers to wish you on your birthday or buy you a present then you don't want to too.

She still tries to be friendly with me. Tries to pretend I'm her big sister, but I don't care. I can't be her big sister. Just like she can't be my younger sister. I'm very bad at pretending, so I just try to avoid her.

I crept downstairs and put on my shoes and walked out of the door.

I wasn't sure where I was going, but I found myself standing at the front of the hokage's tower. Where the hokage lived.

Where his daughter, my friend, Lucine Uzumaki lived.

Honestly speaking, I missed her. When we were small, not a day went by without us meeting each other and acting crazy. But now I guess I've changed. My realizations have isolated me from Lucine. We no longer spend our twenty-four hours with each other. But still, I felt she was the most closest and important person in my life.

I shared everything with her; my feelings towards my mother, secrets about Sai and all the crap he does without my mother knowing. The only feelings I never told her were about my father. I never started a topic on him, and she doesn't too; knowing that I don't like it.

Which is why she doesn't know about my latest news: I've become a murderer and I use people. And it's all his fault.

Suddenly the front door opened and Lucine saw me. She seemed surprised then she smiled and waved at me.

I went over to her.

`` Hello.`` I said .

She hugged me, something she loved to do.

`` Hi! `` She grinned.

`` How's your cold? `` I said.

I was grinning at her. It was impossible to be serious around her.

`` Its gone now. It wasn't exactly a cold; since colds don't just dissapear in one day. `` then she groaned. `` Please tell me Idate sensei didn't give homework !``

I laughed. `` Okay, he didn't give homework. Are you coming to the academy today ? ``

`` Yup. `` She sighed. `` Daddy says I have to because I have to respect his place as hokage, or people will start saying that the hokage is being unfair. ``

`` One of the drawbacks of having a hokage for a father ? `` I asked her.

`` Well-

``Lucine ? Is that Rue ? Bring her in ! `` Lucine's mother called.

I paled. No way was I going to-

`` Hey, the door's open ! Come on, we're just having breakfast ! `` Lucine dissapeared inside.

I inwardly groaned. But I went inside.

I was looking at a huge corridor with famous paintings framed on the walls. There were a lot of rooms here; though less people. Well, Lucine is going to have a baby brother due soon...

Lucine led me to a large room, with a table in the middle.

Hinata was sitting next to her husband, Naruto Uzumaki. I could see her bulging stomach even from a distance.

He looked up. our eyes met for a brief second. He smiled up at me.

I immediately felt at ease. Whenever I was with Lucine and her family I felt as if I was a part of them. I heard that Naruto and my mother and Sai were teammates once, but it sure didn't seem like it. Naruto and my mother hardly ever talked to each other now. The way they looked up at each other wasn't... right. I felt as if Naruto knew something bad about my mother and because of that she would always avoid him. So would Sai.

`` Sit down, Rue. `` Hinata pushed a chair infront of me. I sat down. `` What would you like to eat ? Ramen or porridge ? ``

``Ramen ? `` I said confused. `` At this time ? ``

Hinata and Naruto laughed.

`` My day starts with ramen and ends with ramen, Rue. I swear it helps me make good decisions. ``

`` Oh please. `` Hinata said. `` That doesn't expalin your obsession to ramen. And now thanks to you, Lucine has adopted your obsession too. ``

`` C'mon, mom. `` Lucine complained. `` Daddy's right. Its so refreshning. ``

`` Ha ! `` Naruto winked at his daughter. `` That's my girl ! ``

Thats my girl. Why is that all the fathers nowadays say that to their daughters ? Even Sai...

`` Try ramen, Rue. Trust me it'll give you strength. `` Naruto pushed the dish towards me.

I grimaced. `` Sorry, sir, I don't like ramen very much. Sometimes I eat it. ``

`` Finally ! `` Hinata grinned at Naruto. `` Someone who feels the way I do ! ``

`` Oh, well. `` Naruto laughed. He pulled the dish back. ``I'm really dissapointed, Rue. But all for me and Lucine then ! ``

I smiled at him. I started eating my porridge.

`` So what are you doing up this early, Rue ? `` Naruto asked me.

I wanted to talk to you about him.

`` Just felt like taking a walk before academy. `` I said. `` And I wanted to ask Lucine how she was. ``

`` You're really good friends with Lucine, Rue. Keep with friendship with her till the end and help each other with everything. `` Hinata said.

`` Well.. we fight over silly things like who's the best... `` Lucine grinned sheepishly.

Naruto laughed. `` That's just like how I used to fight with Sas... ``

Then he immediately stopped himself. And I felt like like I had lost my appetite there and then.

Out of the corner of my eyes, I saw Hinata and Naruto share a glance.

`` So... what did Idate sensei tell to do for homework ? `` Lucine said.

I was grateful for the distraction.

`` Just some tai jutsu practice. Don't worry you'll catch up. It's not much for you. `` I assured her.

She heaved a sigh of relief.

A few minutes passed and my all I could think of was one thing. I then made a decision. I would talk to Naruto and get his permission for something.

Everyone had finished eating.

`` Alright, Lucine; go fetch the clothes you want to wear and I'll iron them for academy. `` Hinata got up.

`` Right. `` Lucine dissapeared to goodness knows which room.

`` Rue; can I have a little talk with you ? `` Naruto said quietly. His joking-face dissapeared and his face became serious.

`` That's funny, I wanted to talk to you too. `` I said and got up.

He gave me a small smile. Then he got up and walked out of the room. I followed him. He then led me to his study. I came in and he closed the door.

The study was piled with scrolls and books and I recognized some of them were of medical ninjutsu.

I turned to him. This is it. I will know get his permission for leaving the village.

Because I will never follow his steps and be a traitor to the village.

NARUTO'S POV.

So finally I was going to talk to her. About this topic. A topic I allowed no one else to talk to. Not that Rue will listen. Lucine told me that Rue doesn't talk about Sasuke to anyone. She has stored up every false thing Sakura has told her about Sasuke and now she probably wants to kill him. I knew this is what she wanted to talk to me about. Because she's just like her father. She wants revenge for her mother; thinking Sakura has been wronged.

That good-for-nothing pink-haired liar of a mother. She doesn't deserve to be mother.

How could she lie to Rue that her father raped Sakura ? HOW ?

Everything Sakura had told Rue about Sasuke was a lie. Everything. And now Sakura doesn;t know it but Rue has been gathering all the hate in her about Sasuke and wants to kill him.

If this is what you wanted to make your daughter, Sakura, then you've achieved your goal. Are you happy now ?

And now after telling her all those lies and nobody to hold onto, Sai and Sakura avoid her. Don't care about her. Has Sai made you like this, Sakura ?

And now this is why I have stopped seeing her. I can't bear to see her face for five minutes; knowing that she turned so many people against Sasuke because of this `rape`. Even his own daughter. The nerve !

My attention fixed back on the lavender-haired, torn teenager in front of me. My best-friend's daughter.

`` I think I know what you want. `` I said.

She nodded her head, confident.

`` then please, I want your permission. Let me do it. Then I'll return back to the village. `` She said. Her voice quivered a little.

I wasn't going to lecture her. Not like I did with Sasuke. I know if I send her out there alone, she's going to have a lot of trouble. Especially with Madara.

But I want her to meet her father. I know Sasuke will clear everything up. I know Sasuke cares.

I gave a small nod. Before I could say anything, she left the study; probably to start packing.

Good luck, Rue. I hope you meet your father soon. Amd I hope you'll never hear from your liar of a mother again.
