Though We Are Different (DISCONTINUED)

"The day she went missing was when he had assigned his own daughter a mission, it was the same mission that The fourth hokage gave to his students, to destroy the Kannabi bridge."

"Um." A soft voice was heard from behind the two who were about to train together, both Itachi and Arashi turned; taking in the sight of a girl who was no older than them both. Izumi Uchiha.

"You're Uchiha Itachi, right?" She asked, averting her eyes away from them before looking back.

"I am."

"I-I'm also from the Uchiha clan..." She stated, her voice fading off a bit.

"You are?" His voice had no emotion like the usual, surely it wasn't just this girl. Itachi always had this kind of attitude during school, usually people wouldn't want to talk to him after the first conversation.

"My names Izumi Uchiha, I'm in the class next door." She mumbled, fiddling with her fingers.

"So?"

"Why do you always have to do that?" Arashi asked, crossing her arms as she she sighed.

"What do you mean?" Itachi questioned, giving Arashi the same look when he wanted the conversation to be over.

There was no doubt Itachi wanted to stop the conversation and leave. Shisui had the day off for the first time since he had invited Arashi to dinner, the three were going to train together after the school day ended.

"We take the same way home, huh?" She asked, a small smile forming on her face.

"There is only one Uchiha compound, of course we take the same way." His voice came out blunt.

"Uh, um..." Izumi mumbled, hanging her head as she tried to ask. "M-Maybe we could-"

"Sorry, we're in a hurry." Itachi's voice cut her off, beginning to walk away as he dragged Arashi by her wrist.

Arashi pulled away from Itachi's grip, walking alongside him while glaring. "You didn't have to be so mean to her."

"You know how I am, Arashi-san."

"So how's school doing for you two?" Shisui asked, wiping the sweat off his forehead with a towel.

The three were talking at the park in the centre of the compound, taking a break after running for four hours. Not just running, but running at their top speed. They were able to keep up their speed for four hours, knowing that if a person wasn't fully pledged with their training, would only last about five minutes.

Itachi's glare wavered as he exhaled heavily, catching his breath before opening his mouth. "I think it would be better if you were the one training me."

"I have to agree with Itachi-san... The academy... Is way too easy." Arashi's panted through her words, giving a slight smile towards the older boy.

"You've gotten pretty well at talking since you met Arashi-chan."

"I haven't changed." He growled slightly, his glare still in his expression.
