Chapter 9: “Life Is Just Like Rain, ‘Cause You Just Don’t Know When It’s Gunna Fall Down On You”
She’s watching me awkwardly from a distance, should I care?- Saosin – Follow and Feel
Senra walked down the street with a pair of goggles dangling by the strap around his neck swaying softly from left to right. He had a slight smile on his face. He ran away from the man standing beside him and hugged a young girl who was about seventeen in appearance. “NEE-CHAN!!” He screamed in the soft voice of a small child.
The young woman turned away from her teammates. “Hey little brother. Did you have a good time?” She asked as she spun around and picked Senra up and hugged him tight.
“Yeah, nii-Sama taught me this, watch!” Senra said when she put him down. Senra formed the tiger hand seal and focused for a minute before he ran straight up a tree on the side of the road.
“Wow. That’s really good!” She said firing a glare at the man who had walked with Senra. “I told you he wasn’t going to be a ninja.”
“When you told me what you saw in your last look into the future I thought it’d be best to give him the best path to strength.” The man said with a sigh. He turned and looked at her. “And in your heart you agree Namida. It’s what’s best for Senra. Besides, he’s already talking to his Dragon, says his name is Rage. Without ninja training Rage would be able to take his body over even easier.” The man sighed and shook his head. “And, I’m afraid neither of us has very long with the poor child.”
Namida, Senra’s older sister, grabbed him by the collar. “Itachi! Don’t you dare! If you…”
“Relax; I’m sure you’ll just turn out to be wrong. There’s a first time for everything right?” Itachi said with a wide smile.
Namida looked at him and smiled sadly. “Okay, I’m sure you’re right. So how is Sasuke?”
“He’s fine, just started speaking, actually.” Itachi said with a proud smile.
“And your Anbu application?” She asked tapping her own Anbu tattoo.
Itachi sighed. “I’m too busy to apply. I think I’ll wait until Sasuke starts in the ninja academy.”
Namida smiled and shook her head. “The Anbu could really use a ninja of your capabilities.”
Itachi smiled and shook his head. “In due time, I’m sure I’ll be fighting right beside you, my friend. But, hey I’m free tomorrow; I can watch Senra for you if you’d like.” Itachi offered as he ruffled Senra’s hair when he ran up.
“How come you guys don’t get married?” Senra asked looking between his sister and Itachi.
Itachi looked down at him and blinked like forty-two times. Namida blushed bright red and stammered at her little brother. “N-now, Senra, y-you sh-sh-shouldn’t speak that w-way! B-besides, Itachi-Kun and I are merely f-friends.”
“Yeah, Senra, it’s not polite.” Itachi said, the look of surprise finally fading from his face.
“Ok. Hey, I’m going to go play with my new friends Shenyo, and Kato, ok nee-Chan?” Senra asked looking like a loaded spring.
“Fine, go!” Namida said, her blush starting to recede just a touch.
Itachi watched him run off. “Well, that was awkward.” He mumbled.
“Tell me about it…” Namida muttered in an almost inaudible way.
“Well I’m off.” Itachi said with a light hearted smile.
Namida reached out and caught his sleeve. For a moment she stood there without saying anything, but finally she looked up into Itachi’s eyes. “Itachi-kun, if your right, if I survive that mission… I’ll have something to tell you.”
Itachi smiled at her and said, “How about, if you make it back at all? ‘Cause if you don’t tell me, I’ll die of curiosity.”
“Okay, it’s a deal. Bye Itachi-kun…” Namida said as she released him.
“Okay.” He said as he started to walk off.
“What, no Goodbye?” She asked with a light laugh.
Itachi smiled. “But if I say goodbye that means I’m ready for you to leave. But if you leave, you might not come back. So if I don’t say goodbye, maybe you’ll survive.”
Namida looked at him with a shocked expression. “…Thank you… Itachi-kun…”
Several months pass and Itachi and Namida teach Senra everything they know
Itachi walked beside Senra as he talked about the time he almost beat his sister in a sparring match. “Wow, Senra that really is an interesting tale. Maybe you’ll do better when you fight her next time. She comes back today, you know.” Itachi replied as he thought to himself. ‘Please… come back in one piece…’
As they walked to the gates a purple haired anbu ninja landed in front of them. She looked like she’d just run all the way from the gates of Konoha to the street Itachi and Senra stood on. “Rin-sama?” Senra asked, confused.
“Itachi, Senra, come quick! Namida wants to see you guys at the gates!” With that Rin ran off, using the roof tops as a quicker route.
With a grim look on his face, Itachi kicked Senra’s feet out from under him and caught him before he could hit the ground. “H-hey! What the…!” Senra protested as Itachi raced after Rin. He noticed almost immediately as he got near the gates that Namida was lying on a stretcher. For them not to have taken her to the hospital it was either too grave to deal with or too light to worry about.
‘Please don’t be dying, please don’t be dying…’ Itachi repeated that over and over until he landed twenty feet away from where Namida was laying. He tossed Senra to Rin who caught him with only slight difficulty. “Take care of him for a minute.” He said as he approached Namida.
When Itachi walked up he was horrified at the amount of wounds she’d received. “I…. Itachi-k… Kun… Hey. How…. How was Senra?” Namida asked as she looked at Itachi, and trembled every few seconds. She must have been in severe pain.
“…He was good…” Itachi choked out, hardly able to look at the wounds on his friend’s chest.
“I must… look an awful mess…” Namida said with a sad, pained smile.
“For a mortally wounded woman, you still look as stunning as ever…”
Namida laughed in a pained way. “You’re joking… thanks for the complement though…”
Itachi wiped away the tear running down his left cheek. “You never said that when you had this vision you were... well… you know… r-“ Itachi was cut off by Namida’s coughing.
“Please, don’t say that. Senra might… hear you…” Namida said with a pleading smile. “…Heh…”
Itachi frowned. “What’s so funny? Don’t you realize your position?”
“I never thought,” Namida began, pausing to hack and cough, “that… I’d be telling you like this…”
Itachi leaned closer, the pained, sorrow-filled expression on his face was almost enough to make Namida want to die from her wounds quickly rather than slowly. “…Telling me… Telling me what?”
“I-Itachi… I… I love… I love you…” Namida said with a smile as she let the first tears roll from her eyes. “You know? This is the first time I’ve ever cried… Kind of ironic huh?”
Itachi tried hard to laugh, but he couldn’t. All he could do was remove his jacket and cover her from the stomach up to her shoulders. “Thanks Itachi-kun… Please tell Senra to come here…”
Itachi walked over to Rin. “Senra…” He said as he walked up. Senra looked over at him. He and Rin had been holding each other and crying. “She wants to see you.” Itachi nodded with in her direction and Senra nodded, running over to his big sister.
Rin looked at Itachi and sighed. “How do you tell a kid his age what happened to his sister?”
Itachi was quiet for a minute. “…You don’t… he has the dragon eyes, one day, the dragon will show him exactly happened here in an attempt to break him down so he can take over. I only hope… I just hope that Senra makes it out of all of this.”
Senra walked slowly up to his sister. As he did so it began to rain softly, washing the dirt and tears away from Senra’s face. But when it hit Namida, her blood ran in streams down the street. “…. Big sis….?” He asked getting real close, in case she couldn’t speak.
“Hey, Senra. Were you good for Itachi-kun?” She asked, almost casually which REALLY made Senra want to cry.
“Y-yeah…” He mumbled as he wiped his nose with the back of his wrist.
“G-good… Listen… I want you to become… KOFF!! … The greatest ninja that the world has ever known…” She coughed twice more then went on. “When you get your dragons eyes, look back on this night, and listen to what I’m about to tell Itachi-Kun, okay? And please, Itachi’s gunna take care… of you from now on, so please be as good for him as you always were for me. Now, go help Rin… she’s looks like she needs a hug.” Namida said as she kissed Senra’s forehead when he leaned closer. Senra ran off and tugged on Itachi’s sleeve.
Itachi came walking over and crouched beside her. “Yes?”
“This… It was Sanshimora… who did this… don’t tell any one… I don’t want… to steal Senra’s vengeance from him. Just, tell him Sanshimora killed all his team mates. Don’t say who they were… Also… please… Take care of Senra for me?” Namida asked.
Itachi nodded with a sad smile on his face. “Sure… Senra!! Come here…”He said, his yell slowly dying, almost as slow as Namida. He could feel her slipping away. Senra and Itachi both held onto one of her hands for about two hours before she finally passed.
That weekend.
Senra and Itachi both walked up to the plot in the cemetery where they would bury Namida. Itachi set down a white rose and lifted Senra up so that he could do the same. Instead, he formed a few hand signs and turned his one flower into several. Itachi smiled sadly at him as he set him down. As they sat down Shenyo, Kato, and Rin all walked to the coffin and set their own flowers on the table. Rin smiled at Namida from across the table. “I guess I’ll see you on the other side, huh?” She asked, only half expecting no answer.
A few minutes passed and it began to rain again. Right as the sermon began there was an explosion of smoke and Kakashi showed up standing next to the coffin. He tossed down his own white rose and sat between Senra and Rin. “Hard to believe she of all people died…” He mumbled to Rin.
“You’re telling me? I was shocked… still am I guess. When I said my goodbye I half expected her to yawn and complain about us not letting her sleep.” Rin said with a sigh. After every one quieted down the sermon continued and after that Kakashi and Rin both said a few kind words and their last goodbyes.
Then Senra walked up to the podium. He looked down at his sister’s cold, pale body. A face that once lit up a room, now lying cold and lifeless. He would never see her loving smile again and he’d never get to hug her and spend time with her or talk to her ever again. This realization hit him like a truck. He stared at the body and just made a choking noise and started crying. After a few minutes he became able to speak. “… Goodbye, One-chan. I swear, I will kill the one who took you from us… I will show him the pain we all feel.” Senra said, his face showing a mixture of pain and a new emotion… one he never knew he had. Rage.
‘HAHAHAHA…. Well, you’ll need my help with that…’ Rage said from inside him. ‘Your sister was also carrying my cousins spirit in her, so I’ll help you… but if ever you stray from your path, I WILL kill you. Got it?’ Rage asked from inside Senra. Senra just nodded.
Kakashi walked up to Senra. “You’re going to need-“
“No. I’m going to teach him. I’m going to teach him everything.” Itachi said as he approached Senra and Kakashi. “It was her last request. What kind of friend would I be if I ignored the last request of someone who loved me…?” Itachi finished looking at the coffin as it was lowered into the hole. “Senra. You’d better be ready for a whole lot of pain, because this is NOT going to be easy.”
Senra nodded. “Yes nii-sama. I’m ready.” Senra said as he followed Itachi to the training grounds.
Current Day.
Senra woke relatively softly considering his dream. What his head was lying on soft and smooth. He lifted his head enough to look at it in the dim light. It was a soft milky white, and when he poked it he heard a soft moan. Senra then noticed another soft feeling, this time against his right cheek, at the jaw line. He turned and noticed that it was a mixture of the edge of Yahiko’s shirt and the front of her panties. He turned a bright red and coughed. “Oh, Senra! You’re awake…” Yahiko said as she looked down upon him. Senra looked at her face and remembered his sister’s smile. He suddenly felt a pang of sorrow and wrapped his arms around her waist. “S-Senra-kun? What’s w-wrong?”
Senra sobbed into her shirt before finally choking out, “Please, just hold me…”
A good half hour later Senra sat up and moved beside Yahiko. “So what was that all about? You’ve never displayed an emotion other than anger before.” Yahiko said, her face painted a light red.
“I saw the night my sister died. Even the parts I didn’t hear… I know who killed her…” Senra said as he shook his head sadly. He reached into his jacket pocket and pulled out a bottle of Sake. Yahiko gasped and smacked it out of his hands and then smacked Senra across the face.
“Don’t you dare, Senra!” She said, tears welling in her eyes. “What would she say if she could see you know?! DRINKING AWAY YOUR SORROWS!? I thought you were stronger than this! You’re not supposed to ever be sad! You’re supposed to keep strong; you’re not supposed to be weak in any way! You have to be strong… because I can’t…” Yahiko cut off what she was saying, but Senra knew what she was going to say. He opened his arms and let her fall into his chest.
“It’s alright Yahiko… I know what you were going to say… I’ve known for a long time… I always told myself ‘I can’t she might become my team mate and personal involvement gets people hurt.’ But… I guess I can’t help it…” Senra said holding Yahiko close to him.
“Senra… What do you mean?” She asked her heart racing.
“I already told you.” Senra replied lamely. Yahiko just cried into Senra’s shirt even harder. “Don’t cry Yahiko…“
/Chapter End.
A/N: So, do you hate me yet? Well, you’ll get there, I’m sure. I’m sure people wonder why this took so long, and I’ll explain that. You see, last week, I started editing a friend’s work. It’s called Desert Tears by Sonamea (Please, note: that’s probably spelled wrong), it’s a Gaara X Hinata Fic, and although the grammar is enough to make your eyes bleed, I love the story. So I edited chapters 1-10 so far, and will finish 11-25 eventually. Also, please note that I have NOT slept in 10 DAYS. So BACK OFF. I swear, the first person to complain will get a rubber stamp to the face! Holds up a rubber stamp that says “void”. By the way, Namida translates to ‘tear’. As in crying. That’s what she meant by “ironic isn’t it?”.
