"Because... I..." he stuttered making me roll my eyes and turn to leave until he yelled words I would never think of hearing.
"I NEED MY SISTER!"
I halted in my tracks just like my breath. I just stood there... frozen.
"Wha..what?" I spoke with a shake and a soft voice. "I need you... I need my sister." he spoke again making me turn to face him, he held his teary gaze with my own. "how did you find out?" I asked trying not to crack in front of him. "I was there when you talked to father and after that... dad wasn't the same," he said making me huff, I was so angry at Fugaku that I didn't realize that there was another presence watching us, that he was watching us.
An awkward silence was floating around us as we were just staring at the ground. "Have you talked to him about it?" I asked finally curious to know whether or not I will still be staying in this village or not. "No, I wanted to talk to you about it first," he said making me sigh and finally look up to meet his gaze once more before walking towards him a bit. "I... I'm sorry." I said, but surprisingly he just shook his head. "It's not your fault, I... I just want to know... what happened. I want to know the whole story." he said making me sigh and walked back to where I sat moments ago and took the grassy seat again. "I guess that's the least I can do, but you have to promise me that you won't tell a soul about this," I said holding my pinky out for him as he sat down. "I promise," he said and wrapped his small pinky around mine. "So I guess this all started around 12 or 13 years ago when our father met my mother..."
Past...
Young Fugaku walked through the Uchiha compound until he was called to the meeting hall by one of the Uchiha clan servants. "Uchiha-sama, the Hyuga clan is here." the servant said whilst bowing and when he was dismissed with a wave he scampered off to the rest of his duties.
"Hyuga-sama," Fugaku bowed when he saw the Hyuga clan leader standing there with a female to his side with the Hyuga clan's eyes and similar features to Hiashi Hyuga, the Hyuga leader's. "Uchiha-sama, I would like to introduce my younger sister," Hiashi said as he faced the girl that gave a bow to the Uchiha leader.
When the girl came back up her eyes locked on the Onyx orbs of the leader's making her smile shyly.
"What is your name, darling?" the leader asked making the girl blush a bit, "Hana Hyuga," she tried saying confidently. She just knew that she would be seeing a lot more of this usually brooding leader.
***
"I'm... pregnant..." the woman softly said as tears of joy and fear ran down her face as she faced her lover. "Are you sure?" he asked not wanting to believe this, he didn't love the girl that much. He had only grown fond of the girl, but not enough to marry her from getting her pregnant after they spent one or two nights together. He only saw it as relief whilst the girl saw it as connecting deeper with her beloved. "Of course I am sure," she said with a grin until she saw the face of the man before her. "Aren't you happy?" she asked as she had thought that he would be just as excited as her, but unfortunately he wasn't. He was furious that he would be having to be forced to be with this woman now.
"No... I am not at all happy about this," he growled out as he spun around leaving the pregnant girl there in the alleyway where they would meet each day.
It was growing dark as the 4 months pregnant woman returned to her clan's compound heartbroken and now terrified of the future that waits for her and her unborn child. "Well hello there pretty lady." a gruff and chilling to the bone voice spoke from behind her. "P..please don't hurt me... I'm pregnant." She said holding onto her belly as if she could protect the baby like that. "Well, we are so sorry..." the man said and the woman slightly calmed and relaxed until someone grabbed her from behind. "Yeah sure, like we care. Take her away." the Amegakure shinobi said as he and his team took the poor and frightened female.
"WHERE'S MY SISTER!?" The usually calm and peaceful Hizashi yelled as he burst through the doors of Fugaku's house making the boy jump up. "What do you mean? I thought she left for the compound already. I had left after she told me of the pregnancy." The Uchiha said calmly until he saw that this wasn't a joke.
It nearly took them 2 months to find the girl and by the time they got to her she was cut and tortured, she had had puncture wounds like they had injected her with stuff. They had rushed her back to the hospital saying that she was in very poor condition and will probably lose the child.
"Get my child out, now!" Fugaku yelled at the doctor that refused to go through with the procedure. "We can't do that Uchiha-sama or else she won't make it through the birth." the doctor stated looking to the female laying with bandages wrapped all around her. "I don't care, that child is my heir." the man spoke not caring for the woman bearing his child.
"I can only proceed with the consent of her family members."
After they had settled everything just as Hana woke up they spoke to her about what would happen. "Pl...please don't let my baby die." she cried to the doctor, "And promise me that my baby won't go to the father." she softly said as the doctor strolled her down the hall towards the surgery room. "Please..." she begged to the female doctor that nodded at her request. The nurses her witnesses to her promise.
"It's a beautiful baby girl," The doctor spoke as she handed the child over to the first person that came towards her which just so happens to be Hizashi. "Who is the father of this child?" she asked looking at the three men and Fugaku took a step forward gleaming as if he would get his way, "I am sorry to tell you, but Hana Hyuga had asked that the child wouldn't go to you and had insisted her going to her Guardian. Hizashi Hyuga." the nurse had said making the Uchiha fume. "WHAT!" he yelled glaring at the gleaming man holding his child.
"SHE'S MY CHILD!" he yelled waking the baby girl for sure as she started to cry and the nurses and ANBU guarding the hospital had to drag the screaming man out to stop him from disturbing the other patients and staff.
When he finally calmed down he entered and walked back to where Hana's old room was seeing the twins holding his baby girl that was drinking some milk formula. "C...can I at least hold her? Just once..." he asked Hizashi that didn't want to let go of the girl, his niece, but he saw the sadness and sincerity in the Uchiha's Onyx eyes warningly handing the bundle of blankets to him. "Have you chosen a name for her yet?" he asked as he smiled down at the girl before looking up at the Hyuga Twins, who just shook their heads no. "What about Hira?" he asked looking back down at the girl with such love. He was so angry that he had walked away from Hana that night, because if he hadn't then he would have been the one to take care of her and not them.
"That's perfect," Hizashi said with a smile before taking his niece back into his arms. "Just promise me something?" The Uchiha asked as he looked at the girl wrapped in blankets and falling asleep. "Hm?" Hiashi said not really interested in all this. "Don't tell anyone that she is also Uchiha. I don't want her in more danger at least until she's strong enough to protect herself," he said before he kissed the girl's head and walked off.
Present...
"You see that's why I am not overly fond of your father," I finally said finishing my story.
"But on another note, if you really do want to spend time with me just come here and I'll spar with you or just catch up," I said looking over at the shocked and silent boy. He just sat there probably taking everything in which I wouldn't blame him for taking so long, I mean it took me about a year just to wrap my head around the fact that my mother had died and now imagen how long it took for me to finally realize the reason behind her death.
"I'm so sorry," he stated, but I just smiled and ruffled his head getting up to stretch. "It's not your fault kiddo and life just works like that and there's nothing we can do about it." I shrugged off before picking the forgotten ball. "Well, I think that was a long enough break," I said before focusing back on the ball as my half brother laid onto his back watching the clouds.
For some reason, I could focus much better on forcing chakra through the ball and my guess was that it was all because I could finally tell someone my story other than my team.
The ball popped snapping Itachi out of his daydream. "WHAT WAS THAT!?" he asked looking all over making me chuckle. "That was the sound of another stage completed," I said and that excited Itachi as he jumped up. "Does that mean we can train?" he asked with such hope so I waved him closer. He ran up to me just as my hand came up and my index and middle finger poked him in the forehead. "Ow" he said rubbing his forehead
"I am sorry, but not today kiddo. I still have one more step to master plus I am exhausted so I'll tell you what... why don't we go get the other two and grab some ramen, sounds good?" I asked and the boy suddenly forgot all about his forehead and nodded as we started to make our way to the others.
