"I will never belong, never. And that's why I'll be the one to destroy this illusion I live in."
Adopted by the Uchiha Clan and named by the Leaf Village and with no memory of her prior life, 6 years old Umi starts her life as a shinobi of Konoha. W...
I walked into the silent house, tired and worn out. Everyone must be asleep... I thought as I crept through the hallways towards my room.
"Umi!" Fugaku's voice suddenly boomed from behind me. I whirled around in surprise and faced my angry father.
"Where did you go." He demanded, his eyes stern and his arms crossed.
"I didn't want to stay in the hospital, Otousama..." I lowered my head and muttered.
"Speak up, Umi." He ordered and waited for my response again.
"I didn't want to stay in the hospital." I said louder and Fugaku fell silent.
"I heard of what you did from Itachi." He said. I didn't know what to say to that. It wasn't a question and his tone wasn't unsure. Finally, after a moment of silence, he spoke again.
"I am reconsidering whether to give you the Sharingans or not." He stared but was cut off by me suddenly looking up in apprehension.
"Otousama, I'm sorry. I will behave from now on and meet all your expectations of me!" I said, desperate. Just as I was about to be granted the greatest honour... I ruined it... I thought sadly and looked at father's expression.
"Your eyes already contain some sort of doujutsu. I would think it is unwise to let that power go to waste." Fugaku continued, completely ignoring my statement. I suddenly remembered what the old man had said. Fugaku's claim and Shisui-kun's proposal?
"I have also suggested for you to train with Shisui-kun and Itachi to control your doujutsu. I have already asked Itachi to put off his Anbu work whenever you need to train. The academy starts soon and I hope you will meet up to our expectations." Fugaku informed me and turned to leave.
"Otousama..." I called and he turned around. "I... I'm sorry." I apologised and bowed deep. Suddenly, a hand fell on top of my head and I widened in amazement as he patted my head.
"You are a hard worker Umi. I hope you will take care of Sasuke and become an excellent shinobi, worthy of the Uchiha name." He smiled (actually SMILED), lifted his hand, and walked away. I stood in the empty hallway for a while before coming to my senses. The cool autumn breeze slapped at my bare legs and I shivered in the dark.
Otousama, I won't disappoint you. I promised to myself and retreated into my room. I flopped onto the bed, super sleepy, and fell asleep as soon as I closed my eyes.

"Megumi~" A voice called playfully and I turned around to see who it was. The moment I turned, it was like zooming out of a picture. I reached out my hand but her body passed through it like water.
"Who are you?" I tried to shout but only a whisper came out.
"It's us. Don't you remember?" A male voice popped out from besides the female. I tried to run forwards but the ground moved them away. I looked down at the ground to find it a reflection of the starry sky above.
"Tell me. Please!" I shouted to the two as they went further and further, until only their silhouette was seen.
"One day." The female voice called and they disappeared into completely blackness.

"Who!!!!" I screamed into the darkness but it seemed to echo right back to me. "Please..."
