Sasuke wanted me to join the school. He wanted my help with killing Weasul-kun. The plan was for me to learn how to create illuisons in his head so that when he fought Itachi he would already be used to having illusions in his head.
Sasuke pestered me for an entire week. When he wasn't pestering at my house aloud, he kept thinking it as loud as he could. It annoyed me to no end. Over time the distance from where I could hear thoughts grew, but I didn't know how to measure it-like, seriously, someone needs to invent the mind mile or the mental meter, or some way to measure these kinds of distances!
I cracked after a month of him pestering me contstantly. It was hard and I knew I was a poor substitue for Itachi because the illusions I placed in Sasuke's head had holes. They weren't vivid enough, he could still see me, or hear my exhasperatesd sighs. I struggled to fill the gaps in my illusions but it was easier said than done. Putting thoughts in someone's head was easy, but putting detailed images and sensory illusions with no flaws into someone's head was a lot harder. We had practice every day at my house. By the end of it the two of us were drained and worn mentally, but we were fine physically. I made a mental note to ask Weasul-kun how he did that stuff. Sadly he refused to answer his phone.
I'd been here for a month exactly now. I'd more or less adjusted to this life, but I was weary of it. I knew I would go back to the Akatsuki at some point, even if i never did, my first loyalty would always be to them-besides, the Leafies were seriously creepy.
Naruto and Sakura quickly became my friends. Naruto's friendship was genuine witout strings attached. Sakura accpeted me only because Naruto and Sasuke did, but she hated me because she knew that Sasuke came to my house after school every day. She didn't know the truth behind those visits. She thought we were dating or worse. Thankfully she was the only one that thought that though. No one else really cared.
Naruto just seemed happy that Sasuke had found a friend.
Pein wasn't going to employ me as a spy, but they did learn some things about the Leaf Village from Zetsu's around the clock surveilance of me. It was hard to act normal when I knew my every move was being watched. Zetsu never made any comments on what I did or said, but I had frequent small reminders that he was there, watching. Seriosuly, how am i supposed to act normal knowing a crazy banana with multiple personalities is stalking me???????
My friendship with Sasuke was a wierd one. We practiced every day, but there were slip ups, then I ended up getting a flash of his childhood, and he'd end up with something from my past. Thankfully Sasuke never got any flashes of my life with the Akatsuki. Instead he got flashes of my life in the Mist Village. I had a flashes of his life before Itachi destoryed the Clan, but never the actual massacre. Neither one of us knew why that was, but we were thankfull for it nonetheless.
Sasuke still wanted me to join the Academy, but If I did there was a chance i'd end up revealing my ability to read minds. Sasuke was the only one that knew about it, and i'd sworn him to secrecy on the matter. I knew a few other Jutsu and Sasuke said that I could just learn more Jutsu and not use my ability, but I still had my doubts about it. He didn't understand why I was so desperate to keep my mind-reading abilities a secret but he kept his mouth shut about it though.
I hated that I had to check his mind every day to make sure that he hadn't spilled. I just didn't trust him, and yet, he'd had no choice but to let me into his mind. I'd seen the massacre, i knew his inmost fears, and yet i didn't trust him to keep that one secret. I hated myself for it but I was desperate. If anyone else found out suspcions would spread quiclky.
It hit me a while later that he wouldn't tell. I knew his deepest secret, and he knew one of my secrets, but not the one I was hiding the most. We could both end up hurting one another if we told. We both agreed not to tell. He gave me his word. For some reason I trusted him to keep the secret after that.
A lot of the girls hated me because Sasuke and I spent so much time together but there was really nothing that they were willing to do about it.
Naruto kept prying into my past and I refused to tell him anything. Sakura kept beating him up for it.
Everyone else gave me the beneifit of the doubt and left me alone. Ino ended up using mind-transfer jutsu on me once. I showed her a very violent image. the day that i'd gone with Hidan and Kakuzu. Countless deaths, but I didn't show her Hidan and Kakuzu. I messed up thier features so that they could be anyobody really, and I gave them masks. She had no idea who they were. Ino never tried to enter my mind again after that. She was very nice to me after that and defended me by saying that i'd had a traumatic past. That made most of the others stop prying into my past. Only Naruto kept trying.
Sasuke knew the truth but he kept his mouth shut. He kept asking me questions about Itachi. He saw me as the key to finding a weakness in his brother that he could exploit. I told him a lot of things about Itachi, not many of them very helpful, but Sasuke soaked up every detail like a dry sponge soaks up water.
We stuck to mental communication when it wasn't something that could pass for casual every day conversation.
More than once Zetsu warned me about using too much Chakra. I knew that someone had told him to give me that message, but I didn't know who exactly. Sasuke and I had ended up pushing our bodies too far more than once and passing out. It wasn't a normal thing, but it had happened its fair share of times.
Since I didn't have to go to school i just wandered around in the woods near the Village or just walked around the Village. I had money to buy stuff, but I was saving some of it for Kakuzu because I knew he'd grind me into dust if I didn't give him some kind of percentage of it. I liked my life so I put some away for him. I'm sure he would have given me some kind of tax rate if i'd been smart enough to understand how taxes worked.
That day we pushed the practice too far. We were in the living room panting and leaning against the wall. After we were strong enough to make ourselves something to eat we gorged ourselves on the stuff in my fridge. I didn't taste any of it. i just shoved it into my mouth, chewed once or twice and then swallowed. After that we just sat there for a long time.
For some reason I started to uncontrollably giggle.
Sasuke turned to stare at me like i was crazy.
The giggles became laughs and then the laughs became shreiks of laughted and then I was on the floor, my face read and my air in my lungs with witch to laugh with. My body convulsed with the soundless laughter.
Sasuke looked like he wanted to run out of the house and go call whover was in charge of the crazy people of this Village. He just stood there watching me like I was crazy.
After a while my laughing fit subsided. Sasuke was wary of me after that, like he thought that I was going to attack him or something.
A lot of people tried to get closer to me because they wanted to learn about Sasuke. Naruto and Sasuke were the only ones that geniunly seemed to want to know me for me. Sasuke and I weren't friends, but our bond was strong. We both knew a lot of things about the other, and not all things were things that we'd admitted freely.
After a practice where I ended up stumbling into a memory that was practically sacred to him I taught him how to sheild some of his memories. it wasn't exactly easy and it wouldn't work very well against my Jutsu. As it turns out not that many people knew how to create a barrier that I couldn't breach around thier memories. Kabuto, Madara, Itachi, and Pein had known how, and i usually stayed out of everyone's minds. At some point i'd gotten bored of my new shiny toy and moved on to other toys, only now did i take that toy out of the chest again.
Sasuke's mind barrier was impenetrable, and trust me, i came at him with all I had. It was good. My power sometimes wandered so I ended up in someone's head by accident. I tried to stay out of people's minds, but now that I was thinking about my power again it was harder. That was why i'd made mysel forget about it in the first place.
soooo.,... any feedback on this? i'll start using the other charecters from the leaf village eventually. this idea was the only one I had so i used it. sorry to anyone that hates Sasuke
