Sorry that this update has taken so long everyone! I had gotten a new laptop, and it had Windows 8 on it, and it took me forever to get the hang of this thing! Ugh, I officially HATE Windows 8. I want my Windows Vista back!
Anyways, it is 11 o'clock at night, I just took a shit ton of cough medicine, and no spellcheck, so if this comes out terrible...I blame the cough medicine.
Itachi: You sure it's a good idea to be doing this NOW? You do have to get up early, you know that, right?
Naruto: Ah, leave her alone, 'Tach. If she wants to run her story into the grounds, LET HER!
Me: You just don't want me to write about you being a girl.
Naruto: *chuckles nervously* What are you talking about?
Itachi: Naru-chan, leave Yami alone. She doesn't need your ridicule today.
Me: Thank you Itachi-kun.
Itachi: No prob.
I DO NOT OWN NARUTO IN ANY WAY SHAPE OR FORM ^%^%^%^%^%^%^%^%^%^%^%^%^%^%^%^%^%^%^%^%^%^%^%^%^%^%^%^%^%^%^%^%^%^%^%^%^%^%^%^%^%^%^%^%^%^%
I must have fallen asleep when Itachi was carrying me, because the next thing I new was that I was in Hokage-jiji's office. Jiji, and two other people were in their, and when Itachi set me down, I hid behind his legs. I didn't know why I was here, who those two other people are, or if I could trust them.
"Thank you Itachi." I heard Jiji say. I looked out from behind his legs and glanced at the other two as Jiji was talking to them. One of the people was a tall woman, with long black hair, black eyes, and a warm smile. She looked a lot like Itachi. She was wearing a long white dress with a black long-sleeved shirt underneath. She was pale as well, and was wearing black sandals on her feet. The other was a tall man. He had brownish-black, sort-of spiky hair, and deep brown eyes. He had an angular face, and was wearing an outfit I had seen some ninjas wear around the village. What was their rank, Jounin? He looked very stern and cold, the opposite of the woman.
"...and I wanted to know if you would agree to the terms of this mission I am placing Itachi on, seeing as it would involve you as well." I heard Jiji say. What was this about a mission? I should really start paying attention more often!
"I am fine with these terms Hokage-sama. Me and Fugaku will help Itachi in anyway we can with Naru's care." The woman said with a smile as she looked at me. Itachi then picked me up again, with a small smile on his face.
"You hear that Naru? Me and my parents will be taking care of you for now on." I gasp slightly as I feel tears come to my eyes.
"B-But what about the o-orphanage?" I ask Jiji from my spot in Itachi's arms.
"Naru, you will never be returning to the orphanage for as long as I am in charge of this village. After Itachi had told me of what Mokina and the rest of the caretakers were doing to you, I had ordered ANBU to take them to Ibiki to punish them. You should have never been treated like that."
All of a sudden, Mokina had bursted into the office, followed by two ANBU. I screamed, and hid my face in Itachi's shoulder. His grip tightened on me as he moved between his parents. They were all glaring at Mokina.
"HOKAGE-SAMA! What is the meaning of this! You are having me arrested?! For WHAT? Treating the little demon BITCH HOW SHE DESERVES TO BE TREATED?! EVERYONE KNOWS THAT AKUMA DESERVES TO BE KILLED!" Mokina screamed at Jiji, while the two ANBU restrained her. I was shaking at her words.
"Mokina. You do NOT have the right to yell at Hokage-sama like that! No, you are not being arrested. You are to be executed for your actions, and for what you have just said. Naru is NOT a demon. She is a beautiful little girl, and if you could have seen that, then maybe this wouldn't have happened." The man, Fugaku, had said calmly before the ANBU took her away. Mokina had screamed obscenities as she was being dragged by the two men.
The woman took me from Itachi's arms, rubbing my back and hair, and whispering calming words to me until I had calmed down.
"Are you okay now Naru?" She asked me.
"H-hai." I nodded before pulling back a little to rub my eyes. She pushed my hands away, and used her thumb to wipe away the excess tears from my face.
After everything was finished, Mikoto, Fugaku, and Itachi took me to get some clothes. After shopping for a little bit, and Fugaku and Itachi threatening a few store owners, I had gotten 9 new outfits. Mikoto helped me change into one in the fitting room. It was a white blouse, a black vest, and black shorts with black boots. She also combed my hair, and tied it back into a ponytail, leaving two bangs -one red and one blonde- before we went to get some lunch. We had gotten some sandwiches, soup, and some tea. It was the most delicious thing I had ever eaten! Itachi had carried me most of the time around the village.
Our last stop was a small apartment. It had two bedrooms, a small bathroom, and a living room that connected to a nice looking kitchen.
"Where are we?" I had asked them. This place was really nice, but I know it was not theirs. They had told me they were Uchiha, and Uchihas lived in their compound. We were far from their.
"Well Naru, this is were you and Itachi will be staying from now on." Fugaku had come down until he was eye-level with me and out his hand on my shoulder. "Hokage-sama has given you this apartment. Itachi will be staying with you to raise and look after you. Mikoto and I will help him out of course, to help you two out when you need it."
"So this is mine..?" I couldn't believe it!
"Hai." He said with a smile. He then rose back to his height. "We should be leaving now, Mikoto. Sasuke should be back from the academy soon." Fugaku then patted my head, and gave Itachi a semi-hug before waiting at the door.
"Good luck sweetie." Mikoto gave Itachi a hug and a kiss, which Itachi seemed slightly embarrassed by-I giggled at that!- and gave me a hug as well, before leaving with Fugaku.
