Scroll 1: The Darkness Settles In (Naruto Fanfic)

Chapter 2

Rikushi POV

I felt someone crawling under my blanket, their small hand landed on my side making me gasp. It was so cold.

"Sorry, brother." She stated. I smiled and pat her head. I wrapped my arms around her and cuddled.

"It's fine, I just didn't except your hands to be so cold." I chuckled lightly. She continued to try and fall back alseep. I turned around in my bed and grasp for my water, taking a sip.

I woke up to see only my arms infront of me. I sighed, awake early as usual.

"Emiko!" I yelled, playfully. She came running towards my room and giggled.

"Here's your food, your majesty." She handed me a tray with an egg. I chuckled and grabbed the tray. Playing early as well.

"So, whats on my schedule for today?" I pretended to eat the uncooked egg. She handed me a paper that father wrote. I placed the egg back on my plate and read it carefully.

"Are you gonna be leaving?" I looked at her and nodded. Finally, I've been accepted.

"I have a mission, sweety. How about you play outside with some of the older kids?" I asked. She pouted and walked away. I quickly got up and changed. I brought out the tray back into the kitchen, smilling down at Emiko and hugging her.

"I love you, Emiko." Her tiny arms wrapped around me, squeezing.

"Love you too." She pulled away from me and grabbed my hands. "Be back safe."

"Of course, I'll try." She glared at me and I chuckled. "I promise."

Emiko POV

I watched him as he walked away. I yelled bye and ran back into my room, getting ready to go outside. I stopped in my tracks, hopefully... It doesn't happen again.

"Emiko!" Mother yelled, I turned around as she handed me a bowl of Curry. I smiled and quickly ate it.

"Yummy!" I threw the bowl in the sink and ran back at the door. Her eyes widened.

"For being apart of our Noble family, you sure do you act like a regular kid." Mother smiled. "I'm so happy."

"Love you mom! I'll see you later!"

"Be safe! Don't get into any trouble!" I nodded and slammed the door behind me, a huge smile drawn on my face.

"How's is it going?" The old man asked as he slowly walked by.

"Good, my brother just went off onto a mission. So, Imma be able to run around freely!" The old man chuckled and placed his hand on my head, I looked up at him as he kneeled down.

"Just remember that the compound is a safe place, if you leave. I'm sure your parents will be worried." I frowned, making a fish face as I looked away.

"I know, I know." I stated. The old man laughed and got up.

"Well then, heres a good luck charm. It's a necklace." I smiled and quickly grabbed it. The man continued to walk away. "Goodbye, Miss Emiko."

"Miss?" I muttered as I waved goodbye. I shrugged it off, continuing to make my way towards the park.

"Emiko!" I heard Sasuke yell. I smiled and ran faster, towards were he was.
