Suzuki’s POV:
I looked up from my book as Itachi and Kisame came back into the base. I sighed, “Well that’s everyone. It’s time for me to get out of here.” I sat my book down and smiled as I said, “It’s getting kind of boring in here. I think I’m gonna go for a walk, get some fresh air.” I stood up and Kisame asked, “You are going alone? But you don’t ever go walking alone.” I shrugged, “Maybe that’s why I’m going alone. Get some me time in. I’ll see you guys when I get back.” Kisame laughed, “That’s probably a good reason to go then. I’ll see you when you get back. We’re gonna spar right?” I nodded, “Of course, Kisa-senpai.” Usually he would object to the nickname, but he’s kinda gotten used to it. Itachi hadn’t spoken the whole time, but he gave me a look that told me that he thought I was up to something. I called him on it in a playful tone of voice, “What’s wrong, Itachi-sensei? You aren’t worried that I’m going to get hurt are you? Or maybe you think I might run off?” He just replied in his emotionless voice, “Suzuki, go carefully.” I suppressed the shiver that his voice always caused in me. I just waved him off as I went out the door. I just walked normally for a good while. I remember the first time that Itachi and I trained.
Flashback:
“Why did we have to get up so early? I’m still tired!” I whined as I followed the emotionless Uchiha. He’s different from his brother. While his brother’s eyes hold hate and pain, Itachi’s eyes only hold nothing. They hold nothing at all. He’s just; well there is only one word to describe him, cool. But I’ve seen him happy; I remember when Sasuke and I were younger. I used to come over all the time and we’d all three laugh and play together. My thoughts were interrupted by a swift kick in my gut. I was thrown into a nearby tree. I coughed, “Why’d you do that?” He replied, “I’ve been ordered to train you. Your first lesson is always expect to be attacked at any time. Now get up.” He threw a fire ball at me and I rolled out of the way just in time. I used the bushes to hide behind as I transformed into a small black wolf. I quickly ran around to where Itachi was standing. I considered my next move carefully. The logical thing to do would be to try and take out his feet and pin him to the ground. Maybe I should summon some help? I quickly dismissed that idea. That would give away my position. I looked to where Itachi was standing to find that he had disappeared. Uh-oh, I’ve got to find him. I transformed back into a human, but kept my wolf ears. I heard a movement behind me and I quickly turned around in time to block punch that was aimed at my head. I grinned, “You aren’t going to get me this time.”
I had my wolf ears on. I’ve got to be careful about this, if any of them find me I’ll be in deep trouble. I grabbed up my bag that I had hidden in the very training grounds that Itachi had trained me. I smiled as I remembered the way that my first training session ended. I slung my bag on my back and took off in the direction of the Hidden Leaf Village. I know the general direction, but when I get farther away from here I’ll have to check my map.
Flashback (continued):
Itachi’s eyes went wide as he took in the wolf ears on my head, “How?” I flipped him through the air and quickly moved as far away from him as possible, “It’s my Kekkei Genkai. That’s not all I can do.” I transformed into a wolf and quickly lunged at him. I was right at his throat before he disappeared into a flock of crows. I growled, “Damn, it!” He was back to being emotionless again, “I see. That’s enough for today. But in the future we will have a separate training session for you to train your Kekkei Genkai and then one for the rest of your training.” Suddenly, I was back in my room. Itachi was standing there looking at me, just where we started. I looked around, “But how?” He said, “That was part of my own Kekkei Genkai.” With that he walked off, and I made it my mission to defeat him.
I was running as quietly as I could so that I wouldn’t miss anything. So far I haven’t heard them coming after me, so I assume they still think I’m going to come back after my walk. I sensed a presence ahead of me and came to a complete stop. I transformed into a wolf and snuck up towards the person. When I tried to catch their scent, all I got was cat. I hid behind a bush and looked at the strange person in front of me. It was a girl but not just any girl. She had cat ears and a tail to boot! She had hair so blonde that it was almost white. She looked as though she was lost, but I sensed something else about her. Something that said she was running from something. I transformed back into myself and walked out of the bush, “Who are you? What are you doing in this neck of the woods?”

On to the Note.
Well that's it for chapter one, I hope you all enjoy it. A lot of what's in this story comes from Role-Playing that I've done with Nikki. The next chapter will be done by Nikki herself, so be on the look out for it!
