"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...
*Umi's Current Age is 8. Two years have passed since she and Sasuke first joined the Academy*
I walked before Sasuke and Itachi-kun and looked back at them. They make a good pair. I thought as I looked at the pair. Sasuke had grown to be the same height as me and his hair now spiked up like a duck butt. Itachi-kun didn't change much but he did turn into an Anbu Captain and he became extremely close friends with Shisui-kun. So close he spent more time with him than us.
"Umi was sleeping in class today again!" I heard Sasuke say to Itachi-kun and stared at him, cracking my knuckles.
"Umi... This is not the first time." Itachi-kun sighed and said to me. I knew he didn't like it but I can't help it... I can't remember the last time I got a peaceful sleep.
"SEE! Nii-san is on my side!" Sasuke laughed at me and said, taking pleasure in my super annoyed face.
"SASUKE!" I yelled and launched myself at him and instead bumped into Itachi-kun's chest. I blushed and turned away, trying to hide my embarrassment.
"If Father finds out he will not be pleased," Itachi-kun said from behind me.
"I know... But the academy is easy..." I tried to pout but it came out more like a whine. I lowered my head and looked down at the ground. Itachi-kun's gaze... is different than before's. I thought and tried to remember the last time Itachi-kun had been with me, alone. Two years ago...
The sun was setting as we reached home and was met by Mikoto's calls.

"Itachi! You should bring them back earlier!" Mikoto said to Itachi-kun, complainingly, but he only responded by bowing slightly.
"Itachi..." She said and sighed. I looked up at her and found her eyes sad.
"Whats for dinner!" Sasuke called happily, completely unaware of the awkwardness and tension. I looked worriedly at Itachi-kun and Mikoto but saw that they were already following Sasuke to the dining room. I smiled to myself and wondered how Sasuke always manages to get the mood up.
The rest of dinner was quite normal and soon night fell. Like usual, father still didn't return. Today, Itachi-kun's mission was cancelled so he had a free afternoon. He had trained with Sasuke and I until we were both tired. He had then herded us back to the Uchiha Compound.
Usually, Itachi-kun arrived home later than father. Sometimes, he never returned. His Anbu missions became more common and now, he barely stays home. After dinner, I retreated to my room to read more shinobi history books and remembered a few more jutsus. I stayed up until nearly midnight before preparing to sleep.
