Well, I guess you have waited long enough. Here you go, let it begin.
…...
Her home always smelled like blood, salt and rust, the scent covered everything she owned. She owned very little, her 'home' consisted of one damp room. Water leaked in with the cold; she was always sick among other things. Her life was just one to be envied, wasn't it? She let out a chuckle, a dark sound that was drowned in the muggy air.
There was a small trapdoor in the back, a relatively warm spot with less water then most of her hovel. She crawled inside wrapping the ratted and worn blanket around her thin form. Shutting the small door and blocking the harsh wind, she soon fell asleep.
…...
Itachi walked inside quickly, slamming the door behind him. It closed with a bang, startling the longhaired Uchiha in the chair next to the fireplace.
"What the Hell Itachi?"
Said longhaired Uchiha had jumped at least five feet in the air when said door was slammed. He was not happy.
"Uncle, I am in no mood."
Itachi stormed past like a moody storm cloud; striding down the hallway, he slammed the door to his room as well startling yet another Uchiha.
…...
Sasuke woke with a start and promptly rolled off the bed and onto his face.
"Owww….."
Rubbing his sore nose, he looked around the room as if the source of the noise was buried in the heaps of laundry or scattered weapons. Grumbling to himself, he lifted off the ground in a lazy manner, still groping at his hurt face. Flicking on his lights, he quickly made his way out of his cavernous abode. He stopped near a disheveled looking Mandara.
"What was that, dammit?"
Madara looked up slowly, smirking mischievously.
"That, my dear Nephew, is our dear Itachi developing emotions."
Sasuke looked unconvinced.
"Great…"
…...
The day was new on the horizon, but Neji could not be bothered to look. Paperwork was hell and moving to this ramshackle village in the middle of nowhere with the Uchihas and the damn scorpion was just too much to handle. Grunting in frustration, he threw his arms in the air, paperwork flying up with them.
'Stupid alliances and stupid orders.'
He and the others were ordered here for different reasons but all ended up in the same place, undoubtedly another scheme by Tsunade for everyone to 'just suck it up and work together'. He was sent here for a vacation, some vacation this was, paperwork sucked up most of his time and the leader of this village pissed him off. The scorpion was apparently here to upgrade the medical development department, which was already extensive.
The Uchihas were here to protect the new ally from attackers, he was just glad they didn't send the whole clan. Three Uchihas were more then enough to protect the village from most anything, and to annoy the shit out of him. Did they really have to send them though? The emo, the prodigy, and the pervert. What the crap…best of the best his ass.
Huffing he looked to his window, just in time to catch a glimpse of bright pink on the border of the desolate cityscape.
'What?'
Choosing to ignore it, he set back to work.
…...
Sakura woke with the sun, setting off into town with hunger sharp in her gut. She had a weapon now, tucked in the waistband of her dirty pants, one rusted kunai dull from blade to tip. It was something though, wasn't it? Carrying on into town, she dashed by an old shop looking building, skating the outer wall she jumped into a lawn she knew to be unoccupied. She shifted her feet and took off; just over that inner wall was her destination.
"What brings you here?"
She jumped and turned her head slightly to look behind her, a confused redheaded male stood there. She took off.
"Wait!"
Climbing the wall was second nature and no matter how much she pitied these people she found she didn't want to die at their hands. She would die at her own terms, not theirs. She ran until the yelling in the distance was but a distant memory.
…...
That day both Itachi and Sasori vowed to find the story behind the pink-haired runner.
…...
I am literally terrified right now; earthquakes are very scary to those who do not get them in their area. Scary, but good fortune for you I suppose. I cannot sleep therefore you gain a chapter.
