Though We Are Different (DISCONTINUED)

Six

"It's not only her being a sensory type, I guess this bird was helping Arashi-san see all along..."

"You're coming over today?" Itachi asked, turning towards the brunette who had just kept looking towards the toy she was holding, soon looking up to him and giving a nod.

The two began to walk through the schoolyard, petals of sakura blossoms fluttering through the scented air. Taking in the sight of three people, his father, his mother, and his younger brother. Sasuke, who's only mastery with his ability was walking.

It was Itachi's family.

Spotting his big brother through the many people who had come and gone, Sasuke opened his adorable round eyes wide. "Itaaa!" He cried in a clear voice.

Their mother had told him to call him "Itachi," But since he still couldn't talk properly, it turned into "Ita."

"Sasuke's so adorable! He even has a nickname for you, Itachi-san." Arashi smiled, walking alongside her friend.

"I got another book, I was wondering if you could read it to me." Arashi asked, watching as the one year old boy wobbled around.

"Be careful, Sasuke." Itachi called out calmly. And then, Sasuke disappeared from his view.

Before he could respond to Arashi, someone stood in front of the two, a man... A dark man. Itachi couldn't exactly put into words just what was dark about this man. Basically, just him being around put a different aura in the air.

"You!"

Itachi's eyes narrowed towards Arashi, noticing the slight anger that showed within her light grey eyes. "What's wrong, Arashi-san?"

"It's been a while, Arashi." The man's gaze stayed still, his eye holding no emotion whatsoever. "Of course, when I had met you. You didn't have a name, you were simply just an experiment."

Itachi felt the tension between the two, he just didn't understand what kind of connection they had. From what he could tell, the two didn't like each other.

Arashi took a step forward, making sure that there was a distance between both Itachi and Danzo. "What is it that you want now?"

"You are the bearer of bad luck." Danzo kept his gaze on the boy, ignoring the girl who had stood in between the two.

"Bad luck?" Itachi repeated in a questionable tone.

"They call chaos, those lines." The man said pointing at the lines running from Itachi's eyes down his cheeks. "Chaos will follow you throughout your life, of course. Your friend here, already knew that."

Itachi took a glance at Arashi, who only let herself glare a bit harsher at the man before them.

Who exactly was he? And why did Arashi know him?

"I have a question for the two most talented students ever to grace the halls of the academy."

The two waited quietly for the man to continue.

"Ten of our brethren have been shipwrecked. One of them has caught a nasty, infectious disease. If he is aloud to live, the other nine will also get sick and die. If you were the captain of that ship, what judgment would you hand down?"
