I-

I didn't want this.

Why was I born in the fricking Uchiha clan!?

When I was first reborn, I thought 'Hey, it's not that bad. I get to be pretty for once and have the overpowered Sharingan!' Oh, but I was wrong.

So damn wrong.

Like I said before, I was pretty now. Well, genetically attractive is the better word? (One thing that I do not want from my lineage is being arrogant: fucks up everything) Well, I overestimated how much how good my genetics were (that was bad at my part.) because now I have fanboys.

That's right- Fanboys.

And let me tell you: they are terrifying. Scratch what I said about the Kyuubi attack- This was true horror. Every fucking day I see lovesick boys just staring at me where ever I go and it sucks! It just kills me to know that it'll get worse when I get older and puberty and hormones kick in. Though, I guess it's better than Sasuke's fangirls. Ugh...

Anyways, I realized that the academy was just like any other school. What was I expecting? The only difference between each other was that we had to learn about chakra. Anyways, in the practical part, I was excelling. So much that the teacher asked me if I wanted to move grades! Only one or two, but I still said no, of course, that would be a huge attack on Sasuke's ego, especially that would put Fugaku's attention on me, something my foolish little brother desperately craves. In the physical part, I was about average. The same scores in my past life.

Sasuke still followed me, even more now, since Itachi joined the ANBU and doesn't come home much. He stopped mimicking me though since he wanted both Itachi's and Fugaku's attention. I didn't mind it all too much as I started to hang out with the Hyuuga twins.

Speaking of them, Hinata was adorable as I expected. I would always tease her about her crush on Naruto and giggle at her flustered expressions. Even with that, we became besties.

On the other side, Hiro, well, I don't know what to think of him. He was never in the original story so I don't know how to approach or talk to him. He's pretty aloof and overprotective of his twin; but, he does chuckle and makes a joke sometimes. He's like Part one Sasuke but has emotions so I guess he's chill.

Moving on, I sometimes hang out with Naruto, since I wanted to be with my bestie more and she keeps fainting whenever I try to get them to hang out together (I still try). But the blond didn't mind as long as he had someone to play with. We would play ninja, something I thought was dumb at first but was fun because Naruto always made little twists in the game.

What else? Oh yeah, both I and Sasuke learned the oh so famous fire Jutsu! It was, very, extremely difficult for me to memorize and then actually do the signs and I kept on coughing up smoke. Hmmm... I think that's it!

: D

"Itachi-san?"

it was a simple day when my dearest older brother actually had a day off and that we met her. And let me tell you: she is very cute.

"Hn," Itachi acknowledged her with a tilt of his head as he held both Sasuke and mine's hand. "Izumi."

I waved at the adorable girl who's dango was currently being stared at by you-know-who. "Hello!" I enthusiastically greeted with smile.

Itachi tore his gaze away from god's food and stared down on us. What? You think that because I'm short doesn't mean I can't kick your nuts? Well I'll have you know- "Izumi, these are my siblings. Sasuke, Megumi, this is Izumi." Oh. He's introducing us.

"Hello," I repeated, just as cheerful. "I'm Megumi!" I pointed an index finger at my foolish little brother who was too slow to do anything. "And that Duckie is my little whittle brother!"

"Hey!" Sasuke yelled at me from Itachi's other side, hanging his head over to get a better view at my smug face. "I'm not a duckie!"

"Says the one with the hairstyle."

"Ne-Nee-chan...!" He tote his hand away from Itachi with puffed out cheeks and ran to me, intent of taking me down. Laughter escaping me, I ran around our brother whilst dodging the soon-to-be-edgy kid, trapping the confused weasel in place. Not that he showed it of course, genetic Uchiha blank face and all.

She smiled and waved back, crouching down to be at the same level at us, causing me to stop and stare at her with interest. Sasuke bumped into me but I didn't care. "Hello, my name's Izumi!"

I grinned at the female. "Ne, ne!" She tilted her head, curious on what I had to say. Both of the boys also quieted down to listen (I mean, Itachi already kinda was observing but you get what I mean) "Are you Nii's girlfriend?"


She sputtered.

The brunette turned bright red, dropping her dango as she stood up and cupped her heated face with both hands. The dango would have fallen to the dirt if it wasn't for Itachi's quick reflexes. "Wh-Wha-what?!" She stammered. Sasuke beside just stared in curiousity, also interested.

Itachi awkwardly coughed with slightly tinted cheeks as he held the dango, clearly not thinking that I wouldn't drop that bomb. (I'm surprised- I thought you knew me!) "MegumI don't say out in the blue." He stated, slightly turning away. Awwwwwwwww~ is he embarrassed? Well, even if he is mature all hell, he's still a kid (which is pretty ironic since I'm immature as fuck and I'm an adult.)

"Whaaaaat?" I whined at them, making sure to make it as embarrassing as possible. "But she's so cute and polite!" I explained. Giggling, I formed an expression that literally yelled 'I'm about to ruin this man's whole career' so loud Madara would be shooketh in his dead ass lair. "Is it because you're gay?"

He was the one that sputtered this time.

"What does gay mean?" Sasuke, oh my so innocent yet foolish little brother, asked, making it even better. (For me, not for them lololol)

Ok, so, along with Izumi, Itachi was now full blown blushing, eyebrows furrowed and face red. Oh my Arcues I made the Itachi blush!

"...hn." My older brother finally spoke. Izumi.exe was still not working. "I-I'm not gay..." Holy shit he also stuttered.

"Are you sure about that?"

"Megumi."

"What? I'm just making sure."

"...no training for you."

"Wha- you can't do that!"

"Ne ne, Shisui-kun? Should we really hang out? Don't you have to do your work?" I asked the said Uchiha with my head slightly tilted. Oh yeah, I never describe myself, did I? I had a classic hime-cut that flowed down the mid-back. I wore a long-sleeved purple shirt with the Uchiha logo on the back and a white pleated skirt with flip flops.

Shisui turned towards my direction. "Don't worry, Megumi-chan! I have a bit of time, that's why I took you away!" He smiled. "Today I want to teach you something."

"You're teaching me something? What?" I inquired, curiosity taking over me.

"Yup! Something special, my specialty actually," He stated, earning a raised brow from me. "I'll be teaching you the body-flicker technique!" My eyes widen in excitement, I'm going to learn the body-flicker! Oh hell yes!!

"Really!?" I exclaimed. The spiky-haired boy chuckled.

"Yup! Anyways, let's get started." He gestured me to sit, and so I did on a tree trunk. "So. The body-flicker technique is something that makes the user go to places that make it seem like they teleported. The technique, however, does not make you teleport! It simply makes you go so fast that it looks like you teleport. Here, let me show you."

And with that, we spent the last hour or so, trying to the body-flicker. Me, being terrible at the understanding thing, struggled- a lot. I was getting it though. But before I could actually get it down it, an ANBU came in. "Danzo-sama has requested for you." They said.

"Alright then," Shisui stated. I pouted childishly, making it seem like I didn't like that we had to end so abruptly (well, I was), but in reality, I was cursing at the damn name of him internally. I despised him, much like everyone else in the fandom. I really wouldn't mind if he just fell into a hole and then died— "Sorry Megumi-chan," Shisui apologized, pulling me back to reality. I looked at him as he clapped his hands together and grinned sheepishly. "We'll finish this later alright." I nodded, even though I wanted to beg him to not go to the damn bastard.

I sigh when they both disappeared. "I wish Danzo was never born," I muttered under my breath.

(/ ^ 3^)/ <3 <3 <3

"Nee-chan, what are you writing?" Sasuke questioned me as I wrote in my Diar- er- my journal. He lowered his head next to my shoulder and peered down.

I went rigid at his sudden appearance and quickly closed my book before turning my head and half-heartedly glared at him. "Foolish little brother, don't you know to not sneak up on people?"

He tilted his head. "But I thought ninjas were supposed to do that?" I huff in defeat and pat his head. "Hey stop that Nee-chan!"

"But~" I whine, "Someday you'll grow up and become emo and then you'll try to kill me if I pet you then!"

"What?"

"What?"

Right on cue, Itachi is heard coming on. Sasuke beams and rushes out of our shared bedroom. When I know that he's nowhere near, I sigh and open my journal back up. It was something to record my thoughts, for that if someone finds this when if I die prematurely, they'll know my life. Well, that's if they know English.

I know, it's a big risk, but then again nobody knows the language. So, if they do find out and ask me about it, I can just say I'm making my language and they'll believe for how eccentric I am. So all they'll know that my friends and family are included in this. Genius right?

"Megumi, help me make dinner!" Mikoto called out.

"Okay! Be there in a jiffy!"

$ $ $ \(^w ^\)

"Making my way downtown, walking fast, faces past and I'm home bound~!" I sing on my way home. Even in this world and my godly genes, I am still sad like a dying sheep. Anyways, I was at the Hyuuga compound hanging out with the twins. It was fun, though throughout the day I had a really bad feeling and in the Narutoverse, it's best not to ignore these feelings, so I was cautious the whole day.

"Cause I need you~" I pass by many shops. "And I miss you~" I smile, skipping along the road. "And now I wonder..." Yeah, I'm definitely not lost at all.

Okay, maybe I am.

How the hell did I even get lost in the first place?! (A/N: Uh- because of plot- I mean, what???) I think in my head sweating bullets. Mom's gonna kill me if I'm late for dinner! But then again, don't the Uchihas have a meeting today? Suddenly, a certain smell entered my nose, I cringe and almost gag. "What the..." Why does this smell so familiar? And so irony? Now that I think about, it smells like-

I tense at my next line of thought.

It smells like blood.

Even though a part of me was against it, I was a child. Yes, mentally an adult but what do all children have in common?

Extreme curiosity.

And so I followed the smell, though it was extremely difficult since I am not a tracker but eventually I found a cliff; a cliff that was above a river. Walking, I surprising see Itachi and Shisui in the distance, talking as Shisui suddenly pulled out his eye—

Oh.

Oh.

Shisui was about to commit suicide.

My throat— I tried gulping— was dry. "Shisui...kun?" I didn't know it was possible for my voice to be this weak, though I'm sure they heard me as they whipped their heads at me.

"Megumi/Megumi-chan..." They said at the same time. Itachi was crying, I knew that;I also knew that I could not stop the spikey-haired Uchiha— Itachi had to get the Mangekyou Sharingan.

I... didn't know what to feel. I knew that this was a crucial point of the story, I knew that I'd have to say goodbye to Shisui when he would die, I knew the inevitable fate of the Uchiha clan— and yet...!

Why did I come here? Why couldn't I just listen to my head?! It was as if some damned God wanted me to see this, to see one of my best friends fall to their doom.

But despite everything, even with all these thoughts and emotions whirling inside me, I smiled. "It's okay," I say, surprising the two older boys. "This is for the village, right? You can't trust the elders nor the Uchiha— I respect that. I... I..." For once, I couldn't continue. I tried forcing myself to speak, to reassure them (or myself...?) that this would all be fine. My lips slightly parted as I noticed that my vision was getting blurred and watery.

Shisui smiled back, even if he had both eyes ripped out he was still attractive. "Thank you, Megumi-chan." I couldn't hear what he said to Itachi— or maybe I did and just ignored it. The older ninja gave his only eye left to Itachi and took a step back.

Then he fell.

I couldn't take it anymore. I let out sobs, quiet ones, and fell to my knees, hands pressed onto my teary face. Itachi came to my side, clutching Shisui's eye, and comforted me, even though I knew he was still crying. It stayed like that for a few minutes of silence until my cries turned into little hiccups. When was the last time I cried? Was it... I think it was when I—

No. I destroyed those thoughts. I will not think about that— that life if over.

I didn't bother to be surprised when I saw red when I looked at Itachi, with this amount of trauma who wouldn't get it? "Nii," he looked up at my newly formed Sharingan. "The clan is staring a coup d'etat, right?" Itachi's eyes widen, but he slowly nodded with a pained look.

I sigh and lend a hand on his slightly shaking shoulder. "I just wanna tell you that whatever you do, I'll always love and support you," I say with a smile. After all, if I don't smile, who will?
