RANDOM: Message me is you agree- Hitsugi/fullface from the J-rock band Nightmare would make a great Naruto is he didn't have his piercings? He reminds me so badly of Naruto when he had blond hair :')

I crept back to my home in daze that night. Those who knew me well would have expected me to go out searching for him, but there was no point. He's in the village, and planning to stay. I don't need to search for Sasuke when he can just walk to me.

I fell asleep quickly, but it was unsatisfying.
When I awoke to burning sensation of sun light being shun into my room by my dad (-NOT Sasuke) opening the blinds, I still felt grotty and tired.

"Up and at 'em kiddo" Dad smiled, trying to be cheery like he was every morning. "Busy day"
"Can't the busy wait? Sleep is calling."
"Come on. Get up" Dad kept smiling, swallowing and gritting his teeth.
"I'm getting married sleep-"
"You going to be married to death is you don't get up!" My dad laughed, grabbing my feet and pulling me out of bed.
"DAD!" I whined as he dropped my feet to the floor.

I turned over and pouted at him, irritated. He stuck his tongue out then smiled wildly.

"Come on. Your mum's got some jobs for you-"
"Jobs?" I repeated is disgust "JOBS?"
"Yes, jobs" Dad folded his arms and raised a golden eyebrow "Problem"
"Yes… I have plans" I said almost honestly
"Plans? Plans to do what?" Daddy asked suspiciously.

I bit my lip and thought about what I wanted to say.

"My plan is find Sasuke"

My dad's eye twitched "Why?" he inquired, looking hurt and angry, his fingers imbedded in his palm in a fist so tight his knuckles turned white.

"My plan is to find Sasu-"

"You said that"

"My plan-" I repeated, pausing to show him there was more "My plan is find Sasuke and" I stood up proudly, hands on my hips like Peter Pan, my mouth curling in to an evil smile. "and kill him"

Dad's face softened. His arms dropped to his sides and he cocked his head to one side "Rin… You can't just-"

"Then you'll have me!" I smiled, grabbing his right hand with my smaller pair.

I shook his head "listen-" he got down on his knees and me by the shoulders. He chewed his lip for a second and flicked his straying fringe out of his eyes "Rin, you can't do things like that-"

"You have!"

"That was different. Rin, you can't kill someone for reasons like that. You know what you can do instead of kill him?" he spoke softly, his eyes looking at me for with such love, even gratitude, but also so much pain it made me sick.

I shook my head in response and whispered 'what'.

"Forget he even existed."

I blinked "what?"

"Forget he even existed. That he was ever anything to do with you, or me, or your mum. Okay?"

"What? NO!" I retreated back "Since when would you just 'forget' about something? You'd fight, get revenge- Defeat!"

"Defeating someone is different from killing-"

"Then I'll defeat him-"

"You're 12! He's 32- or 33… or 31, I can't remember his birthday…" Dad wired off into aloud thoughts "I'm sure he was older… I dunno" he shook his head "But his birthday isn't the point. He's 30-something guy and you're 12! You can't defeat him" he stood up tall above me, looking down at my painful brown eyes knowingly.

I looked away and at the floor "Don't you believe in me?" he mumbled.

"Of course I do. I just…" he sighed heavily and began scratching the back of head "I just don't wanna lose you okay? I know sounds really soppy and cliché and blah, but… Other then you mum, you're the only thing I truly have. In fact you're the only thing walking that has the same blood as me."

"Why don't you fight Sasuke, then?" I tricked.

"Your grandparents died when I was a baby. Although I lived well past you being a screaming thing, I don't think you'd like me dead. Would you?"

He almost sounded unsure instead of pressurizing. I hated seeing my dad weak, psychically or mentally.

"I'd feel lost… " I mumbled.

"And that's why this family is going to just forget him, okay?"

"But we can't! Dead he's here! He's in the village! We're gunna see him-"

"We don't know him" he said firmly "At least you don't"

I clamped my mouth shut. I do know him, daddy. What would you think if I told you that? Would you be angry? Feel betrayed? Would you panic? What about mum? What would she think?

I looked up at my dad and saw him smiling down at me. "Be good okay?"

"Yes dad"

"And what are you gunna do?"

I sighed in defeat and looked up confidently "Forget his existence"

This is the shortest chapter yet, but I didn't want write any more in this one in case it stole the mood and feelings.

Hope this was good enough! I'm sorry I've been updating for almost 2 months!

I promise this story WILL get finished. I just might have the odd pause, but it will be finished : D
