If I Could...
The Secret, The Beginning, and The Before
Chapter 1
Somewhere...
"Onii-chan is a baka!" A young girl with black hair that had a purple tint in it, yelled while running from a boy her age.
The boy finally caught up with her and tackled her to the ground. Both of them fell over the hill that they where playing on and started to laugh.
"Onii-chan, why does mama and baba not want me to become a ninja?" The young girl whispered to the boy, who was now sitting up.
"I don't know Imoto-kun, but I think they want you to be safe. Being a ninja would put you in danger." The boy said in thoughtful voice while looking out into the scene before them.
The girl then sat up and looked at the scene that the boy was looking at.
As far as the her eyes could see it was a lake with small patches of land that contained only flowers of different colors. The lake reflected the sky so perfectly that she thought that she was up in the sky.
"Onii-chan, I have something to tell you. But you have to promise me that you won't tell anyone not even mama and baba, ok?" The little girl asked the boy beside her.
"I promise, Imoto-kun." The boy whispered into her ear as he rested his head on her head.
"Well, um, you see, Niinii is teaching me how to fight, ahhh, but don't get mad at him. It was all my idea, he at first didn't want me to learn either cause he was scared he would hurt me or that I would hurt myself." The girl said with panic in her voice.
The boy looked mad at first but then his face fell into an understanding face.
Finally the boy spoke after looking at the scene before them for quite sometime.
"I'll keep it a secret from mama and baba but, please try not to get hurt, ok? You are after all my only Imoto-kun."
The girl then pounced onto the boy beside her and hugged him with all of her might that she could muster.
"Thank you, Sasuke, my only Onii-chan." The girl muttered into Sasuke's chest.
Sasuke hugged the girl back with twice as much force then the girl had used with him and started to rub the back of the girl's head and whispered into her ear, "Your welcome, Hikari, my only Imoto-kun."
Back at their house...
"We're home mama, baba!" The two, Sasuke and Hikari, yelled together.
"Welcome home you two, try not to drag dirt into the house Mama just got done cleaning it." Their mother, Mikoto Uchiha, yelled from the kitchen.
Hikari looked at Sasuke and Sasuke looked at her back, then they both looked back at the mess they had dragged into the house without knowing.
"Place your foot where my foot prints are, I can't see yours so she won't know." Sasuke whispered into her ear.
She smiled at Sasuke and mouthed, 'Thank you Onii-chan, I'll bring food if you don't get dinner.'
She then turned around carefully and started to walk as her brother and told her to.
'Thatwasclose,' Hikari thought to herself.
'WellknowingMama,she'llyellathimfor2hoursandthengroundhim.ImightaswellgoandlookforNiinii.' Hikari thought, as she started to walk to the only place she knew her brother would be at, the Hokage building.
Hikari broke out into a full ran, she couldn't wait to see everyone again. Including the Third Hokage himself, some other ninjas that she meet the first time she went to the building with her Niinii.
'IwonderifIbiki-samawouldbethereorAnko-sama?Ihopeshe'llplaytagwithme.OrmaybeI'llseeMisterANBUagain,Iwonderwho'llbethere.' She thought to herself as she entered the Hokage building.
"It's good to see you again Hikari-kun." Kotetsu said to Hikari as she entered the building.
"Good afternoon, Kotetsu-san and Izumo-san! It's also good to see you again you two, do you know where Niinii is?" She asked of the two Chunin.
"I think he was talking to the Hokage, but why don't you go see Anko-san. She looked really sad today and she could use some cheering up." Izumo said to her while kneeling to her height.
"Thank you Izumo-san, let me know when he'll be done talking to the Hokage!" Hikari yelled over her shoulder while running to Anko's office too see why she would be sad.
"You know Anko-san won't want to be bothered today, so why send her to her office?" Kotetsu asked of his friend.
"Anko-san always looks happier when she's able to play with Hikari-chan, I mean Hikari-kun, so I thought sending her to Anko-san would make her day a little bit better." Izumo explained to his best friend, who was now starting to understand what he did.
"We better go and tell Itachi that his sister here, other wise he'll get mad at us again." Izumo stated while walking to the room that Itachi and the Third Hokage was meeting at.
Anko-sama's Office
Walking up to Anko's office door, Hikari knocked on the door twice.
"Go away!" Anko screamed from inside.
Hikari flinched at how Anko's voice sounded, to her it sounded like she was in pain, not physical but emotional pain.
Taking a deep breath in and out she opened her mouth and yelled so that at least Anko could hear her, "It's me Anko-sama, Hikari-kun. Please let me in."
Hikari could hear sounds come across the floor of the office. She could tell that Anko was not in a good mood today.
Finally Anko opened the door so that Hikari could come inside.
When she looked around Anko's office nothing was the same the last time she came in there, which was one week again; Instead of having her office looking neater, then it normally was, she could see paper after paper stringed across the floor and the desk was stacked with papers that was taller then Anko-sama herself.
"Let's go get some dango, Anko-sama. It'll cheer you up and make that tummy of your full." Hikari said with a small, understanding, smile on her face.
Anko looked at the little Uchiha girl before her, unable to say no to her sweet sincere smile, with a small smile on her face she replied, "Fine lets go kid, but don't get so full that ya get sick."
"Sweet!" Hikari squealed jumping up and down.
Dango shop
While Hikari ordered her food Anko observed her actions.
She saw that Hikari was trying not to move her left wrist, a small scratch underneath her bangs when she moved her head, an almost invisible scar on the upper part of her foot, and that she was trying not to put as much pressure on her right leg.
"Sooooooooooo, Hikari-kun what happened to you? Your all banged up!" Anko yelled waving her arms around.
Hikari just stared at her.
"Um Anko-sama are you ok?" She asked in a concerned voice.
"Im I ok? Im I ok? Are you ok, Hikari-kun? You're limping and there is a scratch on you and a scar. A scar! The real question is are you ok?" Anko practically yelled for the whole word to hear.
"Nothings wrong Anko-sama. I promise, Im more worried about you. Izumo and Kotetsu were worried about you. Please tell me what's wrong." Hikari pleaded to Anko.
With a small sad smile on her face Anko replied, " Nothing you have to worry about kiddo. Im sorry for worrying you."
"If thats the case then lets get back to having fun!" Hikari yelled with excitement in her voice.
Anko's Office...
Itachi walked within the halls with quick and silent steps, trying to think of a way to protect both his little sister and little brother.
Since he got the orders to kill his clan, he was trying to think of a way to at least save the two that was close to him, Hikari his little sister and Sasuke his little brother.
While walking back from the meeting he had with the Hokage he heard laughter and giggling from Anko's office.
"Get back here!" Anko's voice yelled with laughter.
"Try to get me!" Itachi's little sister, Hikari ,yelled with just as much or more laughter in her voice.
"Just you wait, ya little bug!" Anko's voice yelled back.
Itachi, being Itachi, just walked right in knowing that Hikari and Anko would not notice another presents within the room.
"Ahhh!" Hikari screamed, as Anko launched herself to Hikari that was cornered.
"Ha ha ha, ahhh, stop, please, stop, you win, you win!" Hikari huffed out with Anko tickling her.
Squinting with eyes that were filled with tears of laughter, Hikai caught sight of her older brother, whom was standing near the door.
Motioning with her hand for Anko to stop, Hikari tried to get up but her sides hurt so much from laughing that it was almost impossible to stand.
"Good afternoon, Niinii!" Hikari said as Anko helped her up.
Itachi smirked, "Good afternoon to you too, Imoto-Hikari, ready to go home?"
Hikari sighed but nodded her head in agreement.
"You can see her another day, but for now we must go home." Itachi explained to Hikari.
Anko, sensing the sadness from Hikari, kneeled down to her level and hugged her, "You can come back any day if you promise me two things."
Hikari hugging Anko back muttered, "What is the two things?"
"One is that you never change no matter what and the other one is that you always find time to come here on this date, you have no idea how much it meant to me seeing you today, ok?" Anko whispered to the small child.
"Ok, Anko-sama" Hikari whispered back.
Pulling back with happiness and a little confusion Hikari turned around to face her brother.
"I'm ready to go Niinii!" Hikari yelled running towards her older brother with a smile that even god would wish to keep.
Please write a review of this story, I don't care if its a mean comment but try to keep it constructive mean comment and tell me what I need to work on. Well anyway that's about it so here are some important details about the story:
time setting is about a few months before the Itachi killing spree part
Hikari and Sasuke are twins
Hikari is a tomboy, so she acts, talks, and dresses like a boy for the most part which is why almost everyone says kun at the end of her name instead of chan
Also the title refers to the setting of the chapter basicly
The secret refers to the secret that Sasuke and Hikari makes
The beginning refers to the bad day Anko has (idk what date it was that Orochimaru bit Anko but Im making it up if you do know the real date please let me know)
The before refers to the life before the Itachi killing spree, meaning this is a in look at how her life use to be before the glob of mess appears
Also I like having a song that people can refer to as well, so the song that I've picked is "Nano Desu" by Yui Horie the voice actor of Hanyuu from Higurashi no Naku Koro ni Kai.
Remember all rights belongs to the person who made Naruto I only own Hikari and the rest of the OCs that will appear later on.
Also all other stuff that is related to the story shall be on my D. Account which there will be a link to later.
