Sakura was happy, very happy.
She can believe that she was able to contact two of her closes people so soon. She thought that Anko would be super hard since Anko was in the TI department and a child her age knowing it is one thing but going to the building was another.
Sakura was about to call the Kyubi but she heard snoring inside her head. "He must tired..." Sakura whispered smiling at the thought. She was thankful that the Kyubi gave her another chance she doesn't know what she would without him.
'Come to think of it the Kyubi isn't his name... Naruto told me his name...what was it again..."
"Hmm, I wonder what it is" Sakura thought to herself; she knows what his name is but she cant remember. Sakura looked down at the dirt path thinking hard.
When she was first told what his name was by Naruto, she didn't believe it cause why would she when it was the reason it cause destruction; but as funny as it sounds somehow the name left a lingering impression on her, sometimes when she looked at Naruto she suddenly remembers the name that he told her and when Naruto transforms she would whisper it.
"How did i forgot such an important thing..." she whispered to herself she tried hard to remember. It felt like it was just right in front of her face and she cant see it.
Thinking hard and still looking down she bumped into a someone, falling on her butt. "Ouch!" Sakura cried rubbing her butt in pain.
"Are you okay?! Sorry I wasn't looking at where I was going!" Someone, some boy by their tone of voice apologized giving his hand. Sakura looked up at the hand then up to see a boy with a concern look on his face, her breath froze. The boy has black eyes and curly short hair and pale skin.
'Sasuke!'
...
But it was not Sasuke.
He look so similar to Sasuke yet so different and somehow it hurts that he is not Sasuke.
"Ummm are you okay? Should we go to the hospital?" the boy asked panicking a bit when she didn't take his hand and keep on staring at him with tears in her eyes.
Sakura looked at him and shakes she head. 'He is not Sasuke get it together Sakura...'
"No, I am okay..." taking the boy's hand and the boy helped her up, she mumbled a small thank you. "Are you sure you are okay, princess?" the boy asked again.
'princess?' Sakura thought to herself the the thought of Sasuke unnoticeable lessen and she glared at the boy, she was no princess but she still nodded at the boy.
"but i am not a princess!" Sakura also added glaring at the boy older than her she needs to keep up this childish facade she reminds herself that she is not what she use to be right now.
The boy looked at her surprised and grin "Well then, what should i could you little girl?" The boy asked Sakura pout at this, she knows very well that she in a body of a child but hearing it from him actually annoyed her a bit more so than the princess.
"I am not a little girl! I am Sakura and I am gonna because a Shinobi! I want to help others and save others like a Shinobi!" Sakura said without thinking but found strength in what she said, it made her smile and giddy inside.
Shisui raise a brow at her seeing a lot of determination in her, Sakura smiled even wider. "Really, well little shinobi my name is Shisui!" Shisui introduced himself.
Sakura froze when she heard his name her smile slowly leaving her face and Shisui looked at her oddly. "Do you mean Shisui as in Shisui Uchiha?!"
Shisui narrowed his eyes at this and fortunately Sakura caught it, tried to cover it up and hope it wont bite her in the ass later on.
"Umm... Well I have a small crush on this boy who is also goes by the same sirname as you and heard that he have a cousin name Shisui Uchiha who is this amazingly fast shinobi, who goes zoom zoom zoom!" Sakura admitted blushing badly as she makes wild movements trying to show how fast the man in front of her goes. If the kyubi was awake he would be laughing his hysterically.
Shisui looked at her and with a face saying 'Oh, so that is why.' "Why yes! I am the great Shisui Uchiha who is the fasted shinobi alive in this village!" Shisui barged smirking which Sakura would have rolled her eyes if she was in her older body.
...
Sakura cant believe at who she is looking at, it was the man that not 'exactly' started everything but is basically one of the big reasons to why Itachi was able to open his Sharinkan to an upgrade and was strong enough to kill his own clan leaving Sasuke and then the later join the Akatsuki. The same boy who helped her pick up the vegetables that rolled out of her paper bag.
'Hmm, so this is the guy that started the goth boy's obsession to become powerful and want to kill his own brother in revenge of his dead clan.' the Kyubi mused slowly waking up from his slumber. 'Well not exactly, Danzo was the one who started everything here in konoha along with another person... Shisui was just a...very important piece to the puzzle.'
'same to me!'
...
Shisui looked at the girl suspiciously have to be so shocked to see him. Right after saying that she suddenly started zoning out 'Not the reaction I was expecting... ' Shisui sighs a bit disappointed. "Hey, kid?" Shisui called out no answer, Shisui raised a brow and squat looking at her face he waved his hand in front of her face no reaction again.
This action started to worry him even more, could their be something wrong in her home for her to act like this.
Shisui isn't a worry wart but being that he loves kids he cant help it. He knows that he only meet her no more than a few minutes ago it was how she acts and talks that really makes him like her and the fact that she is also the same age as Sasuke also softens his heart a little.
Shisui then got close to her face and got a look at her green emerald eyes with pink wild hair. Shisui notice that her eyes where a bit dull than most kids, not really normal and it made him both worried and suspicious. Not taking action he waited for her to come back hoping this is a wise choice.
The little girl finally came back to reality when she notice that he was right in front of her only a fist away from each others face. Sakura's face turned bright red and jumped backwards surprised.
Shisui looked at her and blink and laughed at her. Cute was an understatement she was adorably cute yet very strange and suspicious.
...
Sakura cups her cheeks as it heats up her hands, she cant stop it usually she could usually she doesn't care! 'It has something to do with the fact that you are inside of a toddlers body or something like that.' the Kyubi stated uninterested.
'What are you talking about?' Sakura panicked when she heard what the fox have to say.
'Basically what i am saying that this body and brain isn't used to this foreign memories and emotions having that you just came all of the sudden those things are everywhere which could hurt your brain if not worst. I think it chose to cut must of your emotional maturity leaving what it knows throwing things that are not needed. Don't worry you will get them sooner or later give it a week or a month.'
Sakura bit her lip not feeling to good at what she just heard but she didn't know that the Kyubi was this... smart?
'I was sealed in the Uzumaki family for generations, I am not stupid.' Kyubi said offended. Saakura doesn't think this have anything to do with the Uzumaki family.
'Anyway look bright kid, that brat is starting to get suspicious!' the fox pointed still irritated.
Sakura snapped back again, Shisui looking at her weirdly "Are you sure okay kid? Was the bump that hard? This is the second time you zone out. Are you sure we shouldn't we get you to the hospital?"
Sakura jumped with out meaning waving her hands and shaking her head furiously. "No! No! No! I am perfectly fine!" Sakura said determinedly she could see the suspension in the boys eyes. The later raised a brow but sigh as if giving up
"Well if you say so."
...
Sakura looked at the streets then back at Shisui awkwardly she absolutely didn't know what to do after thanking him when he handed her the paper bag that has the vegetables Sakura was just silent.
"So who is this boy you like?"
Sakura looked at Shisui weirdly if not surprised, tilting her head trying to compute what he just said.
Shisui grinned at the girl "Well since I bump into you in the first place i am plan to apologize you by putting you at the one you like together! Now who is it gurl spill the beans!"
Sakura looked at Shisui blink not exactly processing what he just said then looking at him with a blank look at Shisui who was grinning at her still, not caring how stupid he sounded when he said that. The Kyubi was in the background saying something about him being so un-uchiha like. Which made her laugh she looked at Shisui and grinned
"Nope ! am not telling!"
"Aww, come on! I will buy you dango if you tell!"
"Mom told me not to talk to strangers! Not even follow them! Especially if they look weird!" Sakura stated with innocent eyes knowing full well she used the same excused just a few hours ago on somebody else but hay who could blame her.
"What!? I don't look weird!"
"No you are weird!"
"No I am not!"
"Yes you are!"
"Oh really and what makes me weird?"
"Everything!"
"Oh my kaguya! I am gonna pinch you cheeks so har-"
"No I wont let you! I wont let a weird stranger touch me!"
...
Shisui takes a deep breath closing his eyes feeling a headache. "Listen here kid, I am not wei- where did she go!" Sakura wasn't where she was standing instead running away from him laughing cheerfully as if she made her best prank in history her paper bag right beside him!
Shisui takes a deep breath "Calm down Shisui it is just a kid! why get so mad?" Shisui mumbled to himself trying his best not to laugh.
"Mister Weird! Bleh!"
Shisui twitched "Just you wait little girl!" Breaking into a grin he grabbed the paper bag and started running at what he considered a normal speed of a civilian with no chakra. Noticing that Sakura took a turn at sharp corner going thew a slim path between two buildings Shisui stopped.
Shisui grin widen as he walked towards the turn his grin vanish when he saw the path.
The path was straight and not that narrow three people holding hands could walk straight just fine but it was long and judging by the kids speed she should be here before she could take another turn.
'Where did she go?!' Surprised Shisui started to jog searching for the girl, the girl basically just vanished into thin air.
Actually getting worried whether or not Sakura was taken by something or... somebody. Shisui started to run at a faster phase when he suddenly heard a giggle from so boxes he passed, he quickly stopped and walked back cautiously towards the boxes hoping that was the kid and not some trap.
He made a stop having a feeling that he heard her voice that is when he notice her chakra was hidden somewhere in the boxes peering into one of the bigger boxes he saw Sakura sitting inside the box having her hands covering her mouth.
...
Shisui sigh in relief when he saw her all the fear suddenly gone. "Kid you just gave me a heart attack!" Shisui sigh in relief putting his hands on his heart "My poor poor heart!"
Sakura giggled again looking at him jumping out of the box with east. Shisui looked at Sakura with one eye suspicious of how the girl was able to hid her chakra at such a young age.
Shisui held his breath when he realize that the child in front of him might be prodigy. Green eyes stare at him blinking, it was getting harder to look at these eyes. They look just the same like Itachi and Kakashi yet at the same time not.
'Shit Shisui don't think like that they still might not have notice her, that is right i am just seeing things. they still didn't get their hands on her... besides we are not in the era of war why would they even try.'
He doesn't even know what Kakashi was like when he was young but his eyes were always dead devoid of hope, Itachi eyes show to Shisui that he is only living this damn life for the sake of Sasuke and his only hope is that Sasuke wont live the life he lived but Sakura eyes they were full of hope with a touch of innocent yet he could see it gone the next second.
Maybe that is the reason he is still able to look at them and not turn away because there was a big fire of hope in her eyes as he keeps looking at them hoping that something different will happen this time. He would so anything to change and lift of the stones that weights on Itachi. he would give anything everythi-
Shisui snapped back to reality when the girl grabbed his arm yanking him towards her and giving him a sudden hug.
Shisui looked at the kid in shock but all he could see is her pink hair. "Wha- What are you doing?" Shisui asked and tried to push her away careful not to hurt the kid but the kid held on not letting go.
"You looks like someone who needs a hug." the kid reasoned Shisui looked at her surprised this time "I don't have anything on me and i don't know if I could do anything help with your problems but I know that hugging it out will help east the pain!" she continued "You don't have keep a wall anymore nobody is here to see and judge and I am just a woolen teddy bear that keeps you warm!"
Shisui froze he really didn't know what to say, don't know what to do. The kids hold lessen and if a small push is more than enough to break apart Shisui doesn't have the strength to do it and he just... hugged back.
He wanted to cry but tried not to tears that is till he tasted something salty in his mouth. Holding tight to the little kid who knows nothing about this world yet knows so much he felt that if he release her she will just suddenly disappear leaving him with no hope.
After a few mintues Shisui was able to stop crying but he was still holding the little girl tight he didn't know what to do he cant just up say thanks and run. She was the one suddenly holding his sanity, it was scary yet reassuring.
The kid suddenly started to stroke his head something a mother would do and start to hum it was relaxing.
Shisui wanted to let slumber take him but not yet people will find it weird if they found a almost teen sleeping as he hold on a small kid it would get a lot of misunderstandings which means drama.
Drama at the moment isn't needed, when the kid finished the song Shisui slowly lift up his head and grin at Sakura who was looking at him smiling one that holds no evil intent or judgement just a pure smile one that holds promises.
"Thanks..." Shisui tried not to blush embarrassed. "This means a lot to me." They have been in an awkward position because the kid was small and Shuisui had to bend his back just to hug her. he could feel the pain that will last his a few days if not done anything to it soon. He sit up straight stretching his back a bit.
"it is okay... If you need any moral support I would always be here okay I am not planning on going anywhere!" the kid said brightly.
Shisui smiled but then looked at her curiously "Hey where did you learn that song?" Shisui asked. The same person blinked and tilted her head "Mommy always hums this tune when ever i go to bed, it calms me a lot!" Sakura said happily.
"Hmm okay." Shisui then looked up at the sky he felt like he knows that song from somewhere, it felt familiar. That is when he heard a surprised yell form the kid "I forgot I am suppose to be at home by now!" as she tried to stand up she fell back down, her legs all shaky.
Shisui looked at her weirdly when he realized.
blood circulation
Shisui wanted to face palm in embarrassment but tried not to laugh which came out as a snort to which he received a glare. "No judging kid!" Shisui stated reminding her, her own words. "Nope that is reserved for the sad Shisui nii, not for Mr. Weird!" Sakura said giggling at the end.
Shisui glared but finding warmed at the nii that she put at the end of his name, walking over to her he faced his back towards her as he squat.
"Hop on! I will take you home!"
"Sorry I don't talk to strangers"
"Not after everything that happened, you have no right to say that! Now are you gonna hop on or not?"
"Kay!"
...
Shisui slowly walks as Sakura guide him to where he house is. "Hey Sakura I have a question for you, mind if I ask?" Shisui asked, it was a while before he got a hum of approval. "Where did you learn that thing you pulled on me?" Shisui asked "you mean the song? I told you it learned it from my mom!"
Shisui made an empty laugh "That is not what i talking about what you said back then who taught you how to hid you chakra."
It took even longer to get an answer.
"Books"
Shisui sigh and was about to pass it thinking that the kid doesnt want to talk about it, when Sakura started talking again.
"I was bullied few times before and when i told my parent they tried to help but they cant, and the bulling went to places where they cant reach. I could only hide from them but they always grab my hair before I could run. They call me mean things I always wanted to cry back then..." Sakura's voice was distant not physically but more so mentally.
Shisui closed his eyes as he continued walking trying his best not to sigh. Kids can be the cute things, but their words can be more hurtful than an adults.
"Where here!" the kid said all of the sudden making Shisui stop looking at the house they were in front of a small 2 story building.
Slowly and carefully letting her down from his back he turned and he grinned at her "Well see you again? I still need to get the gossip of who you like!" getting a blush in return then a small nod he stood up and start to leave.
"Bye bye Mr. Weird! see you again!" Sakura yelled and most likely waving. Instead of looking back he continued walking but he still did a small back wave.
...
Sakura cant believe what just happened after everything that just happened she cant believe what just happened.
'Brat you said the same thing twice in the same sentence right now.'
Sakura ignored what the fox said she doesn't know what to do in this excited feeling it has been a long time she has been like this, in the pass her body only shake due to fear, fear of losing everybody she loves and knows.
She believed at what she was seeing after all Shikamaru said it was possible to go back in time but underneath everything was a small bug of fear, fear that everything is just a dream. Even tho she saw her parents she needed more proof so she said yes when her mother ask her to go to the market. Seeing Anko and Kurenai helped her a bit seeing faces also helped her, the hope really bloomed when she meet Shisui. She didn't know why but she became giddy not that she would admit it at all.
Sakura smiled softly at the thought of the Shisui, he is was good at heart, he truly cares about his family. 'I wont let him down...'
'you never promised him anything.'
Sakura stared at the window hearing the Kyubi's voice again realizing she had something to ask 'Hey, I know this is weird but what is your na-'
"Sakura your back! I was worried about you" Sakura looked up to see her mother looked at her worriedly "Are you okay did anything happen?"
"Sorry mommy, I kinda forgot the time when i was playing at the park!" Sakura said holding out a paper bag of vegetables that Shisui gave back to her.
Her mother sigh and nodded at her "Okay then... Why don't you come inside and help me cook the rest of lunch. Father is coming early today so lets make something big!"
...
After going in the house, helping out her mother and playing in the garden (when in reality she was training.)
Her father came back from work, she never knew this but her father is one hell of a coach telling her to run around the house 60 times which burned since her body was not used to it, after that they did some basic taijutsu kicks and punches, which she manage to impress her father that is till she was told to kick the targets which she fail horribly.
Apparently their a thing called height. unlike her original body, this body is smaller compared to it so Sakura keeps on missing the timing with her kicks and instead of the target she hits thin air and crashing into the target. The Kyubi is having the time of his life inside her head while her father too was trying not to laugh.
After that it was near 9 o'clock and Sakura went to bed. She thought to going out and search for Naruto after all she knows where he lives but choose not to since it would be weird for a child to be walking around pass their bed time in the middle of the night. Her mother was there right beside her on chair hummed the exact same song that Sakura hummed to Shisui
Sakura smiled and let sleep take over.
Sakura meets Anko, Kurenai and Shisui the first day she came to the past. I said that this would be a slow burn but look at what we have here. Like i said i don't have much plans towards this story. *completely ignores a books full of plans for each character.*
Sakura doesn't act like a her normal age and i promise you this was on purpose the older she gets she would mature even more faster than other or so that is what other people would think.
Hope you guys love Shisui shown here!
But in all seriousness, I would love you guys to comment some ideas that could be use for this story.
Other than that i will keep on trying to post when ever i have time but it would help a lot if i could find a beta reader. I am not looking for much, somebody who could notice things that aren't suppose to be their or suddenly disappeared between the story. I'm finding a lot of mistakes on the first chapter and would like to redo it again later on. Grammer is also a must.
I am also having to stories at the Doc right now which i am planning on posting soon and would also like a beta reader for it too.
