Lonely Lotus 🪷

~A Beginning that should be left in the past~

~(5-year-old Takemis POV)~

It was bright and sunny and i loved that i felt warm inside playing with my big brother always brought me joy "Itachi i thought we were gonna play today" i whined pulling on his leg "Yeah Big brother play with us" Sasuke pulls on the other "Sorry guys but i have a mission today" he makes and excuse scratching his head "nuh-uh i saw your whole schedule on father's desk you're not doing anything today" Sasuke pouts Itachi sweat drops "fine you got me come on you two lets go to the forest we can climb trees" he says as he picks us up and puts us on his shoulders i loved the forest mostly the smell of it and i strangely always had a love for the color green. . .

When we're in the forest, me and Sasuke like to race, this time we are seeing who can climb trees the fastest we never worried about falling big brother was always there to catch us "Come on slow poke Sasuke keep up" i tease my younger twin brother "Not fair Takemi you started first" Sasuke yelled "don't be such a sore looser Sasuke it's ok to be beaten by a girl" Itachi teased along with me suddenly the tree began to shake "I CANT HOLD ON!!"  Sasuke screamed, my heart began to race as i looked down to see my brother loosing his grip, he finally slipped "ITACHI CATCH HIM!!" i yelled Itachi was a little further away doing kunai training he finally looks our way and starts darting towards Sasuke, but he was inches away and too late Sasuke hit the ground i hear a crack as he breaks his arm and my ears ring as screams "oh no- Mothers gonna kill me Takemi lets go home we gotta get Sasuke some help" Itachi says grabbing Sasuke and bolting off into the distance.

I look down to the ground from the tree and tried to climb down, but the tree started to shake again my heart beating fast again my fearful eyes filling with tears i then see a figure in the distance it started to run towards me scaring me causing me to lose my balance i fall to the ground soon everything went black. . . .

My eyes opened to a dark cave like room, "Ah it seems you're finally awake" i hear a strange voice say from across the room "who are you where am i? Who are you? I-i wanna go home" i say with my eyes watering "Hush child, don't cry" his pale white hand gently caresses my cheek wiping my tears "W-who are you?" i ask sniffling  "i am Orochimaru and you my little Uchiha girl are gonna be my little project" he says as he pats my head and gives me a cup of water i take the cup of water in my hands and looked up and the man "project? But what about my family? Will i ever go home?" so many questions, but he didn't answer any of them "SCIENCE!" he yelled, grabbing a needle and walking towards me with it "no more questions" he says pricking me with the needle "nighty night my child~" he says as the effects hit me and i slowly fall asleep.

~{Itachis POV}~

i could almost scream into the palms of my hands she's been missing for hours, Father has the whole police force looking for her mother cant stop crying i dare not to tell Sasuke he's already under a lot of stress in the hospital "How could you lose her like this Itachi?" Shisui rants on and on as we run through the forest i guess he did always have a soft spot for Takemi if we do find her i don't think i can forgive myself for leaving her like that this would have never happened if i was more responsible "Darn it how could i be so carless" tears fly into the air behind me as they drip from my face we searched for months no trace im terribly sorry my dear sister. . .

~{Takemis POV}~

its been 1 year since i became Orochimarus project, he's been training me in ninjutsu and injecting me with all kinds of stuff my scenes have gotten stronger i can hear and smell better than anyone once i heard Orochimaru talking about an 11 Tailed Wolf and something about making me a Jinchuriki whatever that means I've made no attempts of escape to make him trust me he will send me out on a mission sooner or later I'm tired of getting stuck with needles, studied and sleeping floating in a tube of liquid like a fish.

"Takemi here" the snake man calls me like im some kind of dog and if i was, I'd bite him "what is it oh crusty snake lord" i roll my eyes giving him sass "im giving you your first mission alone i want you to find a rock" he says giving me a paper with a map and the rock on it "a rock?" i raise my eyebrow "its a very important rock" he says with a smirk on his pale face sorry not sorry Orochimaru, but you're gonna go without your rock "alright i guess ill be back with your rock" i roll my eye's hah Sucker i dart out of that place finally seeing the sun and feeling it on my skin i head straight for home with no hesitation.

~{Meanwhile with Orochimaru}~

Orochimaru sits on his throne drink in hand slowly sipping it reading Takemi papers "Orochimaru you know she's untrustworthy she escaped now she not coming back" Kabuto complains, but it only makes Orochimaru cackle "oh naive Kabuto it all going according to plan he says crossing his legs "but Orochimaru she's unstable" Kabuto tries to reason "well that's not my problem now is it" he looks away chuckling.

~{Back to Takemi POV}~

i make it home and peer through the window only to see my family all at the dinner table, Father toasting with mother their laughing having a good time. . .without me. . Are they happy that i was gone, then and there i felt my chakra flood through me suddenly i. ... ...must. . . .destroy

~{Itachis POV}~

There's seems to be a disturbance outside, i hear a huge screech, "im gonna see what's going on" i say as i run outside only to see "Takemi?!?!" i gasp to see my 6-year-old sister, but it wasn't her she was. . .a beast crushing houses left and right, "ITACHI GET AWAY FROM HER, IM CALLING FOR HELP!" Father yells out the door, i dodge some rubble flying my way "No father this is something for me to handle" i say, but father continues to call for help maybe if i can get her to look at me, i can put her in a gen jutsu and get her to talk "TEKEMI OVER HERE" i hear Sasuke yell from the distance "ITS ME SASUKE IM HERE PLEASE SISTER CALM DOWN" i can see the complete sadness and fright in his eyes "SASUKE GET OUT OF HERE SHE'S TOO DANGEROUS" i yell mother snatches him up and runs him to safety Takemi let out a roar that almost sounds like 'help' "TAKEMI LOOK AT ME I CAN, I HELP YOU" She finally looks my way.

I looked her in the eye with my sharingan and entered her mind, in there it was dark and chaotic objects flying everywhere "Help" i hear a voice echoing "Unwanted" i followed the echoes until i saw her, her eyes were all white with no pupils, and she was sitting in a fetal position her tears ran down her face like a river i sat behind her and held her in my arms "im sorry about that day i was so careless, we spent a long time looking for you" i said running my fingers through her dark hair "Why did you stop looking for me...? And why did you look so happy without me" she choked out "we all were devastated, especially Sasuke and today me made it into the academy, so we tried to lighten the mood and celebrate" i explained to her soon everything felt like it dropped and i released the genjutsu, but we didn't leave her mind she then stood up held a sign and yelled 'release' everything went back to normal "thank you for your help Itachi we will take her from here" some Shinobi said "wait where are you taking her?" Sasuke asks hiding behind mom Lord 3rd bent down on one knee patting Sasukes head and said "don't worry she's not in trouble we just have to run some research and make her all better we're taking her to an asylum" the word 'research' seemed to trigger Takemi she started shaking "research??? Please no research! Needles. . Oh! Please not the needles, THE NEEDLES ARE COMING" she was all over the place "we will let you know her progress and everything else, and we will find who did this to her" the Shinobi said.

We were relived that we found Takemi and who ever did this to her is gonna pay. . . .
