Forget Me Not
Chapter 1
A/N: Hello! So this random idea of being born into a female Sasuke popped into my head and I had to write it down. So here you go!
I remember my death very vividly, staring up at the cloudy sky with blood gushing out of my head. My arms and legs were snapped in unnatural angles. It was cold. So very, very, cold. However I do not remember what caused it. I do not recall how I ended up on the ground, broken and bleeding. I know I died because, right now, I am currently lying down in a cot. Yeah you heard me, a cot. I'm a baby. I'm a baby with knowledge of a different life time. I never really believed in rebirth or reincarnation or stuff like that. But I've been given a second chance, a second chance to live a full life. I don't know what I did in my previous life to earn this, but I'm not going to waste my life away with this second chance. I've been in this world for almost a month. At first I was confused. Scared. My thoughts were along the lines of 'Where am I?' 'What's going on?' Well I know the answers now. As surreal as it sounds, I am in a world that I thought was fictional, the Naruto world. I was born into this world as Sasuke Uchiha. Thank God this world's Sasuke is a girl. I doubt I would have been able to cope with a sudden sex change. And the tricky question was 'What should I do?' After dwelling on this question for a few weeks, I came to a conclusion. I'm going to grow up (Noooo! I'll have to go through puberty again~!). I'm going to make friends. I'm going to become strong enough to protect them and I'm going to change the fate of this world. Watch out shinobi world, Sasuke Uchi-
I was cut off from my awesome train of thought when my older brother came into the room. Itachi Uchiha. I managed to deduct that he is 6 years old. We stared at each other inquisitively, an awkward silence hanging between us. I gave him a gummy grin. Itachi made a small smile and reached into the cot to pick me up.
"Ohayo imouto (Good morning little sister)," he whispered.
Ah. Problem. I'm going to have to learn Japanese. For now I'm going to observe and absorb in as much information as I can. I don't want to speak with a weird accent, it may trigger suspicion. So for now, I need to take advantage of the fact that I am a baby with a spongy brain ready to soak in information.
As Itachi lifted me out of the cot, I let out a happy gurgle. He brought me close to his chest as I wriggled about in the cloth wrapped around me. I did not appreciate being wrapped up like a burrito.
"Oh! Kanojo wa goku wazukadesu! (Oh! She is tiny!)" someone exclaimed.
I tried to wriggle around to face the new comer. Itachi sighed and turned around to face a boy, who was around 9 or 10 years old. I did my best to move my baby muscle into a glare. It didn't work out too well. I probably looked constipated.
"Shisui," Itachi greetes.
I let out the baby equivalent of a gasp. Shisui? Shisui Uchiha? Oh my kami he looked adorable! He did a big toothy grin and held his arms out.
"Watashi wa kanojo o hoji suru koto ga dekimasu Ita-chan? (Can I hold her Ita-chan?)"
Itachi hesitated, giving Shisui a blank stare.
Shisui pouted, "Onegai? Watashi wa ayamatte kanojo ka nanika o sakujo shimasen yakusoku shimasu. (Please? I promise I won't accidentally drop her or anything.)"
Itachi continued his one-sided stare off but he eventually gave in and placed me gently into Shisui's arms.
"Wah!" Shisui exclaimed, "Sasu-chan totemo kawaīdesu! (Sasu-chan looks so cute!)"
I think he just called me cute. He grinned brightly before blinking in what I assume is confusion. "Ita-chan, naze Sasu-chan wa ke ga aru no ka? (Ita-chan, why does Sasu-chan have curly hair?)" Oh! I know what he said! He said something about curly hair. He said my name in the same sentence so… I have curly hair? Alright, it seems I kept one thing from my previous life. But my hair was blonde before, not black. I had light green eyes before, not obsidian black. I was also slightly overweight and needed glasses due to short-sightedness in my previous life, hopefully none of that followed me here into my new life.
Itachi shrugged, "Watashi wa shirimasen. (I do not know)"
Shisui frowned thoughtfully before smiling, "Neh, Ita-chan. Sasu-chan ga furui toki, kanojo wa hātobureikā ni narudarou! (Hey, Ita-chan. Sasu-chan is going to be a heartbreaker when she gets older.)" Suddenly, Itachi did a death glare. It looked terrifying, even on his 6 year old face.
"Watashi wa futekisetsu kanojo o mite, nin'i no otoko o koroshimasu (I will kill any guy that looks at her inappropriately)," he growled. He turned his attention to me. "Imouto, anata wa yonju o sa reru made dare to dēto suru koto wa dekimasen.( Little sister, you are not allowed to date anyone until the age of forty)"
I sighed to myself. I need to learn Japanese and I need to learn it fast! Seriously, I can't stand not understanding people. What if they're talking about me? Shisui laughed and handed me back to Itachi. Just at that moment, my mother, or should I say Okaa-san, popped her head round the door.
"Okaa-san (Mother)," Itachi greeted.
"Kon'nichiwa, musuko! Ohayo Shisui-kun. Anata wa yoru no tame ni taizai shite imasu? (Hello, son! Good morning Shisui. Are you having a sleep over?)" she smiled.
"Ohayo Oba-san! Soshite, wa i, watashi wa yoru ni taizai shite imasu (Good morning auntie! And, yes, I am staying the night)," Shisui replied.
Okaa-san nodded and closed the door. I began to entertain myself by drooling on Itachi's shoulder. What? I get bored easily! And since I'm a baby again I can act like a baby! Itachi spotted my drool on his shoulder and sighed. Shisui laughed. As Itachi placed me back into my crib, I began to ponder on what my first word should be. I giggled to myself. Should I say Naruto? Or maybe Dobe. Or Dattebayo! Nah… I should do something original. Itachi and Shisui then left the room and softly closed the door behind them. I snuggled into my crib and drifted off into a peaceful slumber. Or I would have had I not instantly jerked awake in panic. "The clan massacre!" I cried, however it only came out as baby gibberish. It sounded something along the lines of "Igah guu gogoblu!" Fuck my life.
Should I save them? They're my clan. My new family. I've only personally known my okaa-san for a month but I already love her. I don't want Shisui to die! And I don't want Itachi to go through all that shit at such a young age. But then that would seriously mess up the plot. Wait… My very existence has already messed up the plot. My lower lip trembled and tears sprouted at the corners of my eyes. Curse my inability to control my emotions due to being a baby! I sniffled. Why did I have to reborn as a female Sasuke? Why couldn't I have been reborn as Hinata instead? Actually no, never mind. Hinata is a worse choice. Man I feel sorry for her. Maybe I should befriend her and try to help her with her life. After all her father has a stick shoved so far up his- I'm getting side tracked! But if I do end up befriending Hinata then she might become more confident and start being more assertive and she would become stronger than her sister then they'd place the caged-bird seal on Hanabi which didn't happen in either the manga or anime and I'M GETTING SIDE TRACKED AGAIN! Damn it. Focus. To screw the plot, or to stick to the plot…You know what, screw the plot! Like hell I'm gonna let Neji or Jiraiya die! Like hell I'm gonna let Hiruzen be killed! Like hell I'm gonna stand by and do nothing when I can finally be useful and do something! That's right. I can finally be useful and make a change to things, become someone significant. Okay. Cool. Now I will start plotting on how to make a change in this shinobi world… Right after my nap. Sleep is important.
