Our Lost Life (Itachi/Izumi fanfic)

Co-operation (ep. 6)

Jynx snickered seeing no one outside anymore, she figured everyone went inside. This gave her time to admire the building. She could tell it was some of her original plans that she had been trying to figure out for a while. 

Her father wasn't apart of her mother's clan, this caused an uproar of where they should live and who's name to use. Her father wanted nothing to do with his family name so she took on her mother's. Her father was one of the main traveling architects for the village and neighboring villages. Its how her parents met in the first place. Her father was a kind heart, and always had an idea of providing for travelers like himself. He wanted a place in town that would offer such expenses, but his ideas kept getting shut down. Jynx remembered when she was younger going with him to get plans set out for a plot of land on the outskirts of town to be turned from just a smaller house to a whole hotel and business for travelers. But once the attack of the Nine Tail broke out, her father sacrificed himself to guard his wife and young daughter. Jynx was young, and remembered that was the day her red eyes came.

She sighed thinking of how young she was and how she was lost in the streets, head throbbing from the commotion. Her eyes gave her problems right away, they kept causing her more harm than good. It was something that took her some time to get used to. What she remembers most about when her father was killed was the blood. She's never been around so much horror in her life before, but that day she felt the sadness erupt over her as her father's blood was shed and left on her clothes and skin. She screamed at it in horror wanting the blood off of her skin right away. And as if it listened to her request, the blood beaded up on her clothes and skin and dripped off of her instead of soaking in. Jynx looked up into the clouds above and snickered remembering her real name being called out. As a child the fear was overwhelming, but somehow he made her feel better about it all. She took the boys hand and ran along with him to the shelter they had in place for the women and children of the Village. That was the only time she was around his little brother and he didn't cry at her. They boy she would later marry.

Growing up, she wanted to take that land that her father was denied to expand and continue his dream. His dream was cut young, and she knew that finishing it would make things better. With the village. With the Clan. With herself. She used to come out to this spot and make plans in the ground for a place to welcome and help various people traveling around but she quit after the fire. She knew it had to have rooms for the orphans; she would cook food for them and make sure they had clothing as they grew older. She noticed not everything was to exact at her designs and drawings, but the majority was nearly perfect. 

There was a large outer wall that boxed everything inside leaving a boundary of the land plot... Almost as if they made it as if a full clan could live inside. At some point new houses could be constructed to accommodate the growing family inside the wall. Compared to the compounds for clans in the village, this was basically the same thing. A front gate was large enough to even haul large carts through. There was a long path way that was adorned in stones that were outlined in smaller pebbles. The area around it was soft grass and bushes. After a small walk the road splits in two making a 'y' shape. The left side curved into a set of stairs that lead to the deck where it lead into the entrance of a restaurant. It was slightly separate from the main building itself. Farther off next to the restaurant was a smaller building that was lead by another stone pathway leading up to it which was an added on section of the original standing house. There was still space around behind it to add more smaller houses.

Jynx nearly jumped with glee noticing a deck to the right off of the main house that seemed to look like a larger dojo like she always wanted. Growing up she learned taijutsu very quickly and taught others around the village. That included sparring with her lover most of the time. The only time he ever ended pinning her to the ground was if she let him.
