The Darkest Rose.

The Darkest Rose: chapter 3

I woke up with a start. I felt a thin layer of sweat on my forehead and I knew my eyes were wide in shock. I hadn’t dreamed about that incident in years…in fact I hadn’t dreamed in about four.

I felt Mikoto wrap me in her arms and I slowly calmed down and a blank look filled my expression. I looked at the wall suddenly remembering how I had gotten to the legendary second stage of sharingan, Mangekyou.

I snapped out of the thoughts as Mikoto grabbed my face in her hands gently and say, “It’s ok. Your safe. Who is Joruichi?”

I didn’t show any recognition to the question but on the inside I tensed. I assumed that I must have been muttering his name during my nightmare.

 But  instead I turned towards the direction of where the door was and I said sensing the Hokage, “Hokage-sama, come in.”

I saw him walk in with a warm smile on his face and say, “Your very sharp.” I simply nodded in response and he continued, “I wanted to ask you some questions.”

I nodded in understanding and said, “Yes, I would assume so. After all, I never really answered anything when I was being tortured. Though, I must say, I can allow you to ask any question and I will willingly answer them except for one.”

He kept on the warm smile and said, “Ok. Which question should I not ask?”

I simply replied, “How I got the Mangekyou Sharingan.”

I heard Mikoto gasp and she touched my shoulder and said in shock, “In order to reach Mangekyou you must first have completed sharingan with all tomoes.”

I just answered vaguely, “Yes.”

I heard her gasp again (very irritatingly so…) and say, “No Uchiha woman has ever developed the sharingan! Its immposible!”

I winced sarcastically and said, “Well it’s obviously not too impossible for me. I happen to be a full blooded Uchiha woman as well.”

Fugaku then suddenly demanded, “Show it to me. Show me your Sharingan and Mangekyou.”

I looked at Sasuke and saw that instead of looking scared he looked rather excited. I sighed and flicked on the sharingan as I looked my father in the eyes. He nodded and flicked his wrist as in a sign to proceed.

I looked directly into Mikoto’s eyes as I let my sharingan tomoe come together and form a complex design. (See picture…I can’t really describe it very well!)

I saw Fugaku freeze and I sighed relieved but froze when he said that I had hidden something in my chakra. I didn’t dare move a muscle or breath when he commanded me to show him. He shouldn’t have asked that question. What was hidden was very deadly.

I shook my head in a no way movement and spoke, “No. I can’t.”

I saw him get angry and grit his teeth while asking, “Why?”

I frowned deeply and said, “Get Sasuke out of here.”

I saw Fugaku raise an eyebrow and opened his mouth to speak but I stopped him with my hand and said sharply at him, “Get him out of here. What I will do will make him fear me. I don’t want that. Are you sure that you want to know what I have hidden?”

I felt the wind knock out of me when he said, “Itachi, get Sasuke out of here for now. I need to know.”

I suddenly felt blood thirsty and I gripped my neck in pain. Damn him! He did this to me! This is why you never trust a snake…

I looked at Fugaku and I let the transformation go. I had hidden my curse mark, it had actually been acting up lately and making my sickness 2x worse.
