Shadow`s of the enemy

"Uh..." Toshi took a seat next to Miru.

"Plain ramen for the girl," Aiden said. He sat next to Toshi, body facing hers, his elbow on the counter and chin on his hand. He smirked as she nodded to confirm her order.

Goru sat next to Jashu, and ordered a bowl of chicken ramen. Then he turned to Jashu. 'Oh, gosh, these Uchihas...' "She dwells too much on the past. Feeling bad for what has already happened is a waste. She needs to accept the past, hold her head high, and most importantly, move on."

Jaschu looked down"..to bad that what happends now isent helping...", he begang eating some light spicy ramen with the chopsticks

The old man looked at miru a little concernd"whats wrong miru?, you never bein that hollow befor, seeing as the reports flying in about itachi being the area you should be happy as you always is if one of you brothers gets reported bein seen..whats wrong dear?", he said in a worried tone

Miru didnt answer but simply drank her tea, even that a few hot tear drops dropped down on her light clothed arms and cheeks she didnt wipe them off, it could be seen her skin burned of it

Toshi blinked and turned to Miru as she felt sadness radiate off her. "Miru-san, what's wrong?" She pulled out a tissue from her pouch and offered it to her, smiling, even if she didn't need it.

Goru shook his head miserably. "If she cannot move on and just learn from her mistakes, Asmo can and will use her...again."

jaschu frowend"i doubt it..he is sneaky but no one can trick my okaa-sama more than twice..besides uncle is here now..", he said the last part in a lower tone

Miru didnt take it, the tea surprisingly didnt make any scars or red marks on her pale skin and the cold uchiha female looked down at toshi"..no thanks.", she said in a hollow and sorrow full voice

Goru sighed. "Well, he was low enough to steal away Onee-chan when Miru was giving birth. Plus, he used a disguise to get to Naka. That man is sneaky and he plays dirty to get what he wants."

Toshi frowned as she put away the tissue. "...but..."

Aiden stiffened. Oh no. Was Toshi going to cry because of Miru?

Miru looked down ,even that she wanted to hide her emotions she couldt help but to feel a arrow piece her heart when she heard toshi about to cry"..dont cry..im..just very very tired..im leader of the elite group in black orbs..", she wanted to smile but it never came on, but toshi saw a very faint light of happniness in the eyes of the uchiha befor she forced the rest of the hot tear down her throat

jaschu looked down"..still..you really think he consinders my okaa-sama as a target for it?", he then looked at miru and toshi now

Goru shrugged. "Hell, not even Aiden-teme understands that demon's mind. And Aiden's twisted."

Toshi wiped any potential tears from her face and suddenly hugged Miru gently. "If you don't want to tell me why, it's okay. But please, don't be sad," she cooed, trying to soothe Miru. She didn't like depressing or negative emotions.

Aiden sighed and ordered a bottle of sake. He knew Toshi wouldn't give him any attention with Miru going all moody.

Jaschu simply looked down"..i just dont want my okaa-sama hurted again..i almost lost her..", the uchiha boy looked sad and his short spiky hair had gotten a little damp because of the hot ramen so 2 spiky bangs hung around his cheeks

Miru didnt hug again but looked down at toshi"...im not sad toshi..", the uchiha female looked at aiden with a "not my fault shes doing it" glare. Miru gently pattet toshi`s ahead and looked down again

Toshi loosened the grip, but didn't let go. "But your voice tells different...you are sad, and you're hurting, too, aren't you?"

Aiden shook his head and drank his sake straight from the bottle, his attention focusing on the cracks on the floor.

"Almost...but you didn't, did you? Be happy. Man up. You're an Uchiha, Jashu."

Jaschu blinked and was about to say something befor itach(still transformed) said,"showing emotion is a weakness..", the pale looked down at his un eaten ramen and had a even harder face than miru ever had showed

Miru looked away"..yea..the few that cares dosent understand and the few that understands dosent care..", the uchiha female let her hand slide down toshi`s short hair and holded it on her shoulder

"Emotion is a weakness... But it shows people that we aren't so bad, doesn't it? And besides, emotions are part of life. If you deny them...you turn out like the Akumas."

Toshi frowned. "...then...help the ones that care understand. Or if you can't, you can get me to understand. I'm your friend now, Miru-san, and I care." She looked up to Miru and gave her one of her happy smiles.

The ANBU woman looked down at that happy face*..the only thing i wanna see..*, the jet black haired girl learnd forward and naka could fell her strong yet thin arms hug her tight for a moment befor sitting up again"

Itachi simply looked at goru now"..The akuma`s dosent have any respect for human life..they deny even hatred and power only to seach for a way to end their endless lust..unlike them..the uchiha clan knows how to show pride and honor in a battlefield..and they dont walk the path of broken souls or take abuse of a weak mind to get to their goal..."

Goru shrugged. "Emotions. Even you and Miru and Samu let your guard down and some feelings slip into your face. That shows you are true human. And pride comes from emotion, too. It comes also from a sense of justice. Something demons don't have."

Toshi smiled warmly as Miru hugged her. Then Aiden tapped her shoulder. "Kid. Your ramen." "Wha..? Oops!" She laughed nervously and immediately started working on her almost-cold ramen.

Itachi looked at him"..boy..i killed my own parents and my entire clan..you really think i would start showing emotion?..", the pale boy gave a dark small laughter that only goru could hear and returned to his cup of tea

Miru briefly looked down, having her long black her inframe her face and almost locking up again

Goru arched an eyebrow, Aiden-style. "You'll crack. It will keep building up inside you until you can't handle it, and boom - you explode."

Toshi ate her ramen quickly and finished with a burp. She pat her clothed stomach blisfully with a dreamy look in her eye. "That was so gooood... We don't have this back in Kusa..."

Itachi was about to answer but watched as miru got from her chair"..miru?", the uchiha said in a complety diffrent tone, almost a little worried

Miru simply looked up"..im gonna go home and help samu making dinner..you welcome to come along for tonight toshi..", she turned around but stopped when jaschu took her sleeve

Jaschu looked up at his okaa-sama with some sad eyes"..dont go alone!..you arent gonna be okay alone okaa-sama!", he stopped talking when miru gave him a brief kiss on the foreheard and said"theres 10 minuts between this place and the mansion..i will be okay", he made a sad nod befor his mother left the ramen stan, walking down the empty roads of konoha with a cold glare

Toshi smiled to Miru and nodded. "Okay! Thanks, Miru-san!"

Goru frowned. "A lot can happen within ten minutes..."

"...like death," Aiden added solemnly. "..."

Jaschu looked down"..no..shes my okaa-sama..shes fast and will have dinner for us when we return", he said with a grin"i want thoose sweets now uncle aiden", he said, teasing the demon

Miru looked a little back on how jaschu teased aiden but simply shock her heard, lowerd it and walked further, the sun had begung setting and the first lantens had bein turned on. Her head was bowed as the passed the one white light poll after anthoder, deep in thoughts

Asmo was hidden in the shadows on the wall of the Uchiha mansion. Though, he knew Miru would see him. He wanted her to.

Aiden smirked, finished his sake and went over to Jashu to ruffle his hair. "Sure...nephew. C'mon, Goru, Toshi, Itami, let's go. Toshi, do you want to ride on my back?"

"Eh? Uh...nah, it's okay. Maybe later." She laughed and went out with the others as Aiden paid for everything.

Itami blinked, had the man forgotten who he was?, he simply sminked inside of himself and looked down

Jaschu grined and tapped toshi and goru"last to the store has to carry me home", he laughed and begang running

Miru stopped as she was standing at her home, she didnt even have to see him to know he was there"..you playing already asmo?", she said with her eyes closed"..fightning me now wont help you find naka so i suggest you", the eyes opend revealing she had turned on the bloodline"leave.."

Asmo waved his hand and demons appeared, blocking any exit. "What makes you think you have the choice to fight me?"

Toshi looked determined. "Bring it on!" She chased after Jashu, and so did Goru. Aiden sighed happily and watched them go. "Aren't you racing them too, Itami?" he asked, smiling.

Itachi simply looked away"im older than you..im not a damn kid like them", he sounded very pissed for that comment and simply followed the others

Jaschu sminked as he jumped onto one of the light polls and ran up onto it, he leaped onto the next, almost falling but then went on and on, avoding the few pepole on the streets

Miru turned it off and crossed her arms, left hand ready to grab the katana right hand ready for a kunai"..what you want?"

Asmo smirked. "Naka's new body, of course. I deserve to know where my lovely little wife is."

Aiden sighed and followed. "You are such a...cold turkey, kid. You look like a child now, so that's how I see you."

Toshi jumped from roof to roof, happy to be able to give her legs some exercise. Goru just ran on, dodging anyone and everyone on the street. "Aiden, Itami, hurry up or you have to carry Jashu home!"

Itachi looked up of that, in his normal state he could easily outrun the demon but now he probably couldt, the thought of carrying jaschu home almost made the long haired sharingan user run but he remained cold and simply walked with eyes closed

Jaschu simply sminked"ohh..and winner gets to kiss toshi hehe", he tried to get the demon running also, to see him have some fun for a change


Miru simply eyed him, keeping her head clear and trying to push away her thoughts and concerns about the demons"...and what makes you think i would help you find it?"

"A kiss? Okay, then! I'll win the race!" Toshi once again had her determined expression on as she ran faster, spotting the shop in the distance.

Aiden froze for a second, then ran and overtook Jashu. He arrived at the shop, breathless and leaning against the wall. He smirked as he saw the kids approach him. "I...win..!"

Toshi arrived, and pouted. "...no fair..."

"I will hunt down Jashu Uchiha if you don't," Asmo whispered, his words clearly drifting to Miru's ear. "I'm brave enough to do that..."
