Chapter 2: Tea Time with the Uchihas
´Father is running late´
Monday morning, the day where we visit the Uchihas and father has not yet returned from his mission. Mother stayed up nearly the entry night she is clearly worried.
´It must be really hard for a civilian woman to be married to a shinobi always expecting that the husband is called in for a mission then that waiting and hoping they come back alive´
´To hope in one piece in that job occupation will be too much´
´Not so different from our former world where the woman of our soldiers experiences the same. I respect them for this mental strength´
Mother stopped washing our breakfast dishes and looked out the window clearly spacing out.
´It is hard to see them as my parents because I had already one but even I really hope he comes back it will be too hard for mother and me´
´Why calling them father and mother in our mind when we don´t see them as our parents´
´Because out of respect creating "new" live and because so I can´t slip up and call them by their names. I didn´t even do that with my previous mother you just don´t call your parents by their names it´s …..too strange for me and for them´
Sitting on the chair still I saw the first tears my mother shed. I struggled getting out of my chair. It took some time but I glide to the floor and stumbled over to her and latch on her leg.
She was startled and looked with teary eyes down to me.
"Oh Yuuki-chan" she only said und sat down to grab me and hugged me firmly I only let it happen and hugged her back.
A knock on the door brock her out of her stubborn. She stood up and quickly swept her tears away, striating up.
"Wait here"
I heard some voices but couldn´t hear what was said I was, too far away, then hurried moves and the door closed.
´Did she just forgot us here?´
´Yup, he must be in the hospital otherwise he were at the door or mother would be in the living room having a breaking down...don't you think so?´
´We must hope he could be in a critical condition and die any moment, we don´t know´
´But hey it gives us the chance to work at or moves without someone watching so up with our ass and train walking´
So I tried standing up what without help was quiet difficult so I tried and tried again until I got the hang on it and then I began to walk. As a child one´s coordination is really poor, from the clock I could tell It was already one hour since our mother left, one hour of falling on my ass after few steps and trying getting up again. I really didn´t count how often...it would be a too frustrating number and my ass and hands hurts from all the falling down.
Two hours later I was leaning on the door frame from the kitchen to the hallway when the door swung open and there where my mother and father. I was so happy that I tried to walk fast to them just to stumble and fall face down.
"Not you too Yuuki-chan" said my mother sternly but with a hint of amusement and father laughed only and I smiled sheepishly up to them.
"Dear take her to the living room and lay down on the couch to rest when you really insist of coming with us to Mikoto" Mother said and disappeared into the kitchen to make lunch.
Father reaches for me and hold me in his arms.
"So eager to learn little one" he smiled at me.
"Want to show me what you can do little Yuuki-chan?"
We were in the living room hand he put me down on our carpet and sat down on the couch a few feet's across from me.
"Come to me" he challenges me.
So I stand up from my sitting position (the more you try the easier it gets) and took slow careful steps one foot after another. Concentrating watching my feet's I bumped into the legs of my father. He pulls me up and sat me down on his lap laughing.
´He really laughs a lot´
´Maybe because the life of a shinobi is so dark that he enjoys every moment away from it?´
´Could be...I like it...I like people being happy and laughing´
With that I wiggled on his lap clapping my hands and giggled what only made him laugh harder and me too so in the end we have a full blow laughing fit.
"When you are done with that we can eat darling"
"Ha Ha Hai" He and me were nearly out of breath but really tried to get us together and get into the kitchen. When we both sat down mother came up to father and kissed him and the cheek.
"Please don´t scare me like that again" she said softly and but our lunch down, fathers favourite grilled marcel.
"I will try love, I will try...but it was only a scratch and they only won´t let me go because there where the suspicion of poison, what in the end wasn´t there"
"Please"
"I can only try and you know it"
They talked softly with another so this didn´t seems like a quarrel but more like a dialog full of concern for the loved one.
"Maybe you should take more time off the roster...should something happen to you me and Yuuki will be all alone"
"You know we need the money, but I will try only to take one with a lower chance of dying" he smiled and she only gave him a chaste kiss for that.
"In two hours we will go visit Mikoto so go up to our bed and rest. I will wake you on time"
"Arigato love" another kiss
´Ugh why must they do that before my eyes´
´God you are 21, don´t be a prude´
´I am an innocent child at the moment´
´Innocent!? don´t lie to yourself you think of your former ex-boyfriend he-´
´Ugh don´t bring that up shut it down your right I´m not innocent but please who likes to watch his parents being lovely dovely?´
´...´
´My point exactly´
So to prevent any other display of affection from my parents I slid down my chair and walked to the legs of my father.
"Sleepy" I said and rubbed my eyes.
"Wanna take a nap with me?" He asked I only yawned god all that walking really tried me out.
"Then dear we will take a nap upstairs"
It was warm and comfy and I was in dreamland until someone shakes me lightly
´Nope I don´t want to wake up leave me alone´
I rolled from the affording hand away just to note being woken up.
"Stand up little one we are visiting Mikoto and her family" my father said with laugher in his voice.
I opened my eyes slightly.
"Mikoto?"
"Yes that fine lady with the long black hair and the two boys remember?"
´How could anyone forget Mikoto and her adorable boys? Nope I didn´t forget but...sleep...so nice´
I was drifting into sleep again when mother picked me up and took me to my room to change my clothes that were wrinkled from the nap.
When we were all ready father lifted me on his shoulders again. The way was long and again I played the word game just this time with father.
"Yuuki-chan you really are a good pupil maybe one day you will be a teacher by how good and fast you learn."
´That sounds suspicious like they don´t want me to come in contact with the ninja live´
´Pity but to be true to our self we aren´t made for it we can´t even hurt an animal on our own to survive´
Yeah I´m not a vegetarian but I can´t stand to hurt animals ..paradox I know.
´But when we aren´t on the ninja academy how do we hold contact to Shika or Sasuke or any shinobi friends?´
´Hey don´t forget where is a will there is a way just don´t give up´
´Right´
We reached the Uchiha estate when I saw something white out the corner of my eyes and turned to it.
´That was...Kakashi!´
I only could get a glimpse on him before he disappeared into the crowd.
On the entrance to the Uchiha residential area we were stopped
"What do you want here?"
"We were invited by Mikoto Uchiha-sama. Our names are Saeki, Morio and Yuuki Hanaka"
The guard looked at a list and seem to found our names looked at us and only nodded at us.
´That talkatively of the Uchihas are astonishing´
Mother and father were chatting on the way to the Uchiha estate but now both were quietly walking the way down to the main house. I also hold myself back and only watched the Uchihas.
They all looked alike all had this dark hair and dark eyes and this air of superior around them.
´Don´t forget the stick in their arses´
´How could I´
They avoided us and watched silently. The looks they gave us ranged from mildly curious to absolute hostile.
´I really hope the Hokage can do something to avoid the bloodshed it don´t look good here this hostile towards us speaks volumes´
We reached a really big traditional house it looked a bit like the house of the Nara´s.
´This traditional style must be in and I must say I like it´
While I admiring the house Fugaku opened the door.
´The cold hardest man in this world opens us the door great he looks already down at us´
´*shudder* I feel something freezing over´
"Good afternoon Uchiha-sama. Your wife invited us over"
"Hn" he only said and turned around to walk into the house, shortly after that Mikoto came to us.
"Come in Come in" she welcomed us cheerfully
"Here are the cookies I promised Mikoto"
"Oh my sons love them and even Fugaku but he would slit his throat before admitting it" Mikoto says, she really seems to be in a chatty mode.
The house was definitely bigger than that of the Nara´s easy to get lost in, but Mikoto showed us the way to the living room.
"The toilets are to your right the third door down the hall, please wait a moment I will get the tea. Oh which one would you like? I got a really nice jasmine tea would you like to try?"
"That sounds great I would like to try it"
"Then please sit down I will be right back"
She smiled brightly and hurried into the kitchen while we sat down on the couch and waited.
I looked around but saw no Sasuke or Itachi.
´Where are they?´
´Do you hear that?´
´Hm?´
´Listen´
I listened and then heard it a faint "thud" "thud"
´Could it be?´
I got up from the couch and walked to the paper door and slid it a bit open to look outside in the garden. There was Itachi training to throw kunai´s under the supervise of his father and Sasuke sitting on the porch a bit to my left watching Itachi with admiration.
´I wished my little brothers were a bit like him´
for a moment sadness about my lost live and chances overcame me but I quickly gathered me together.
´It is in the past. Regret nothing you have a new live now live it and you must not carry the load of your past into your new live´
´I know but that is not easy when you remember your former live´
I squeezed myself through the gap and sat myself next to Sasuke he looked shortly to me but quickly turned to his brother to not miss anything what he did and I just followed his example.
´He is really good, this speed, power and grace´
´You admire every shinobi for that´
´You can´t fault me for that he is even better than most of the shinobi...I really envy them...I never was good at sport, never had the stamina and strength´
I looked more at Itachi he was sweating but showed no sign of exhaustion but his eyes hold a great amount of tiredness and sadness.
´He doesn´t enjoy it, he has not heart in it´
´He is a pacifist remember his father took him to the battlefields with four that heartless bastard´
Fugaku put Itachi´s training up a notch by randomly throwing kunai´s and shuriken at him.
´Stop this´
My heart went out to Itachi pity him even when he doesn´t wants it.
So acting like a toddler I stand up and waddled in Itachis direction shortly behind me Sasuke also sat up and followed me.
I know it wasn´t Fugakus intention or I gave him there the benefit of the doubt, but some shuriken missed their target (Itachi) and flew at us. In a flash Itachi stand before us narrowly be able to deflect them for a moment everyone frozen in their place then Fugaku turns away and disappeared into the living room and Sasuke lightly tearing up.
"Don´t do that again" It should sound like an order but it came out more like a plea from Itachi he crouched down and stroke Sasuke´s head to calm him down.
´Never thinking of himself hmpf´
While Itachi calmed Sauske down I sneaked to his side and patted him also on the head while smiling.
It seems like I have a talent to throw the Uchihas off when the shocked look from Itachi was any indication.
´What never saw someone caring for you Itachi? Depressing´
´He has such silky hair...so soft...and I think it has a light brown shimmer while Sasuke has a light blue one...´
I continued with my action he was either too shocked to stop me OR he maybe liked it, I will never know because Sasuke, jealous little brother began the same and throw me a challenging look. I began just laughing at that and changed my stroking to him.
´He has nice thick hair but really this duck butt style...only hope is that he will grow that phase out really fast when I can make it to avoid the massacre´
So there we were Itachi crouching on the ground letting Sasuke stroking his head and me standing now at Sasukes side and patting his head. This must have looked really funny because the next thing I hear was the laughter's of our parents from the door.
The first one to get a hold on himself was my father calling us.
"Itachi-kun, Sasuke-kun, Yuuki-chan come one we have tea, cookies and some dangos"
Without being called a second time I hurried as fast as I could over to them and straight to the table with the sweet threads.
"Aha Yuuki wait for the other ones"
´Damm her´
I sat down like a well behaved child nearest to the sweets and waited impatiently. When everyone minus Fukaku sat at the table Mikoto said the word to heaven.
"Itadakimasu, I hope you like it"
I got myself first a dango and began happily eating it away while already choose my next target a cookie. I love sweets really love them and Mikoto dangos where...simply heaven so sweet and...fluffy...and coated in the perfect amount of syrup.
Our parents were chatting again about cooking and gardening and here and there father said something too.
The sweets were eaten fast and there were only one dango left
´MINE´
As fast as I could I reached for it only for it to be snatched away by...Itachi also someone with a heavy sweet tooth.
´BOY THIS IS WAR´
´Give IT to him, do it´
´Oh yeah he better be ready to fight over it boy nobody gets between me and my sweets´
While mentally smiling like a mad woman I gave him my best puppy dog eyes that includes light teary, big eyes from under my eyelashes and wobbly lip pout.
´Come one don´t resist just give it to me that isn´t so hard just hold your hand out the rest I will do´
Maybe I was a bit over the top for such a little child but that short calculating look said that he didn´t fall for it.
´Damm him´
He pulled the dangoballs from his stick on his plate and cut one in half and then put on the exact half of them on my plate.
"Here you shouldn´t eat too much sweet there are bad for your tooth's"
´Says the right one! Damm you!´
´Hey you got the half of it be happy´
´Why be happy only with the half? Boy this is not the end of this war I will remember that be wary boy, be wary´
Contrary to my anger I gave him a full blown happy smile and ate my dangos slowly to savour them...the last one...
´Choji is right "the last one is the best" just because it is the last one´
When everyone was finished Sasuke came up to Itachi holding a wooden shuriken and pulling on his big brother´s sleeve
"Aniki Aniki"
"Hai hai Sasuke"
Both of them went out into the garden and Itachi showed him how to throw Shuriken It was really sweet to watch them. Itachi holding his brother´s hand showing him how to move it and watching him doing it with such a soft look in his eyes and Sasuke who really tried hard and every time after he tries he looks at his brother with those sparkling eyes.
´This love between them...sibling love is such a great thing...I will give my best with my plan just to see more of this moments´
´Failure is already no option anymore´
I had an idea and turned to my mother.
"Pai-paint?" I asked her
"You want to do some drawing"
"Ha-Hai"
"Just wait I will get the things" Mikoto said and left to get paper and colour pens.
"Here Yuuki-chan" She said and ruffled my hair and I smiled at her
"Than-Thank you" and hurried over to the porch to watch the brothers and try to draw a picture for them.
3rd POV
"She is really good with words" Mikoto remarked
"Not only words she also can run a little bit already as you saw earlier" remarket Morio full of pried over his daughter
"She could make a good Konochi one day when she keeps that up"
"Ah..."
"What is it Saeki-san"
"We are not sure if we should put her into the academy or not on one side we don´t want her near any bloodshed and on the other side when she goes she can protect herself a bit better against any attacker"
"You have it good that you can make the choice...my son´s don´t have any choice and Itachi..." Mikoto looked really sad at this point.
"He is only 6 but the teachers and Fugaku already talk about him graduating with 7...7 he is too young for this at this point he will never have a real childhood"
"My dear friend" Saeki says and hugged her long time childhood friend.
3rd POV End
When the sun slowly sets my mother called me to her.
"Yuuki-chan we must go it´s late come here"
I put the paper and pencils slightly in order taking my picture I run up to the brothers.
"Tachi, Uke"
They stopped their session to look at me holding up a picture of us three holding hands smiling Itachi in the middle and Sasuke on his right and me on his left side. I know it was a picture from a one year plus child so yeah not much to say but hey I gave my best on that.
"For us?" asked Itachi
"Yess" I said while looking away shyly
"Thank you"
´He has some good manners´
"Yuuki-chan!" This time it was father calling me
I hurried after them, on the door I looked back at the brothers. Sasuke studied my picture and Itachi looked at me I waved.
"Bye bye"
I take the hand of my father and walked with them home.
´I won´t let anything happen to you both´ I promised silently.
´I sound like Naruto´
´...You nearly forgot him´
´No...I didn´t´
´Yes you did´
´Maybe -pout-, but he will not be easy to find he is an orphan at my age...I must wait a few years before I can find him´
´You better do next to Itachi he has a horrible childhood with all this hate from the villager´s´
´I know I will be his friend in time´
I managed all the way back walking at my father's hand who watched me carefully.
"You did great today little one" he said when he tucked me in.
I couldn´t response I was already asleep.
I Hope you liked it. Please review so I can get better.
