I lurched forward determined to run but then I felt a hand pushing me back. "Shh Ryoko it's okay. You're at the hospital now." I looked around barely listening to the nurse above me. I was scared. I wanted to know if my mommy and daddy were okay. "W-Where's my mama? Or papa?" She looked down for quite a long time until Sarutobi walked in. He walked in but he had another man. He was very tall and had a dominating look about him. "Hello Ryoko this is Ibiki." I didn't say anything so he continued.
"Ryoko that man he hurt your entire clan. Do you think you could tell me who it was?" I pulled my feet up to my chest and hugged them. Yes I knew who that man was but I couldn't let him know. He would hurt me.
Ibiki stepped forward, "Sarutobi I could find out just let me." "No! Ibiki that's not how we deal with children." "She'll never tell! He threatened her! He killed her entire clan! What makes you think she can help!?"
"Ryoko who is he? He can't hurt you or anybody else." I just shook my head. No, those eyes would kill me. The eyes of...
Madara Uchiha.
I didn't say anything when I was moved in with a new family who had a boy my age and a younger boy. Itachi and Sasuke Uchiha.
*Madara P.O.V.*
Ryoko grew close to the two boys but even closer to Itachi. I smirked, knowing my plan would be in full effect now. They were dating but soon enough he could convince her to come to the akatsuki, where I would make her mine. She wasn't Itachi's, she had always been mine.
I sighed when I felt the familiar anger and jealousy bubble up inside me. He would betray her soon enough and then she'd be mine to take.
*Ryoko*
I smiled at Itachi while Sasuke was hugging me. "Nii-san is Ryoko-kun gonna be my sister?" I laughed when I noticed Itachi blush at his younger brother's comment. I was surprised when I heard his answer, "Soon, not now, but soon." I blushed and Sasuke just continued hugging me.
*Night that Itachi kills the clan.*
I walked towards the Uchiha compound noticing it was dark already. I really did love this place. I was a Jonin, I had Itachi and Sasuke, and their clan. I always loved how they tried not to show their Sharingan in front of me. They knew how much it terrified me.
I opened the gates and nearly screamed. Blood, kunia's, bodies laid everywhere. My mind kept sending images of my five year old self in this same position. No, no please. I heard a scream and began running.
I turned a corner and saw Sasuke laying on the ground. "S-Sasuke!" I ran towards him but gasped when I was pushed against a fence, someone right in front of me. I sighed when I noticed it was Itachi. "Itachi! What's going on?! Who's doing this?!" I looked into his eyes and then froze. Red eyes glared back at me and I began to shake.
"Y-You did this?" He nodded his head and gripped a kunia. I went to say something but I felt a deep slash penetrate the skin on my arm. I howled in pain and went to hit him.
He gripped both my arms and slammed me into the ground. "Don't come looking for me." I looked into his eyes and then felt myself being pulled into something. I watched as bodies fell around me. First his clan and then he showed me my clan. I screamed as I gripped my head. "Please Itachi please stop!" He didn't stop though, not until I felt the darkness creeping in and by then I had already seen what I hoped to never see again.
Chapter 3
I bolted forward in a frenzy. I was so sick of these memories by now. That happened years ago. I was an Anbu now. I pulled my hair up and then slipped into my Anbu gear. I walked over to the other room and peared in. Sasuke.
After Itachi did that I had woken up a week later in the hospital. It took three weeks for Sasuke to get up. There was a scar from where he had cut me. I knew then and there I had to become stronger. I had to protect Sasuke now.
I shook my head and woke Sasuke up. "Come on, you get put on teams today." He nodded and I left. I didn't bother to eat. I walked towards the Hokage's tower and walked straight to his office.
I knocked once and heard a faint, "Enter."
I walked in and Kakashi and Ibiki stood there. "Ah Ryoko I was just about to send Ibiki for you." I didn't say anything as I peered at the old man. "How would you feel about being on your brother's squad?" I looked at him, brow furrowed. "I don't understand."
"I want you to help Kakashi train the three young genin." I shook my head rapidly. "With all due respect sir, no. I'll hold Sasuke back." He sighed but nodded. "Alright then, I'm sending you and Ibiki on a mission today."
I looked wearily at him. He knew Ibiki and I didn't get along. Ibiki always wanted to force out who killed my clan but Sarutobi always disagreed with him.
"Orchimaru has been seen with some Akatsuki members. We think one of them may have been the killer of your clan. I want you and Ibiki to get all the information you can and bring it back. Do not attack them however."
I nodded my head and looked at Ibiki. "I have my stuff, do you have yours?" "Yes." "Then lets go."
We transported out of the village and I quietly asked, "Where?" "They were scoping around your clans land." My body tensed but I said nothing. I knew this journey would be a short journey. It was only a days walk, maybe a couple hours if we ran.
We continued walking until night fall. We had taken a couple of breaks so we were just a couple of minutes away. Ibiki grabbed my arm just before we went in through the gates. "If anything happens, I want you out Ryoko. I want you to run as far as you can. Sarutobi is expecting you back even if it's without me." I nodded my head and we walked in.
It looked just as it did before. Blood was still everywhere and so were kunias, but the bodies had long been gone. We separated and I walked slowly towards my old house.
There was a slight breeze and fear bubbled inside of me. I was wondering if HE was in there. I sighed and chastised myself. He was gone, probably dead.
I opened the door and a rush of cold air hit me. Nothing. I walked further in, til I reached my bedroom. I walked in again and then I gasped when a hand covered my mouth and a hand had both of my hands pinned painfully behind my back.
"I've missed you." My body went rigid as I heard that voice. I tensed when his nose traveled the length of my neck and involuntarily a small sigh escaped my lips. He chuckled and then whispered, " I'll see you when you wake up." I shot out of his arms and turned but he was behind me again.
"G-Get away from me!" "Did you tell anybody about me Ryoko?" "N-No I swear! Just leave me alone!" "Don't lie to me! You told Itachi! He knows I'm alive and so do you! Do you remember what I said I'd do?!"
I stumbled back when I saw how angry he was. I knew even if I tried fighting him I would lose. I was too scared. I turned my head away but he grabbed my chin, forcing me to look at him. To look at those eyes.
I tried to look away, tried to close my eyes but it was no use, I was in that world. I was in a place where he could make me relive those two days. I screamed again as bodies fell around me. I then felt Itachi behind me, stabbing me.
Then it was replaced by Madara. I screamed and screamed until finally I just fell to the ground. "Please l-let me go."
I watched as Madara bent down and looked at me. "Your mine. Forget about Itachi. I will train you and you will bear my children." I winced as he slammed his hand down on my neck and then welcomed the blackness.
