Shadow`s of the enemy

"stealing from a newborn mother in front of her kids..you sure are low nedia", she said with a teasing smink over her face

Shiro looked around"...nii-san?..nii-san?", her eyes became a little wet but samu wipped the tears away"..shes asking for aiden", jaschu looked down"..i dont want him to come back..okaa-sama and onee-chan is happy without him..", his young voice was a little dark as he spoke

"Mm. It's worth it." Nedia grinned and nonchalantly began eating from Miru's carton. Toshi smiled as she slurped down more ramen. "You two are like siblings..."

"Just wait. Onee-chan will see her true feelings in the end. She has this permanent disease, even from her past lifetime. It's reverse erotomania."

"i guess naka..i just wished..", "...sasuke was here?..?", miru looked at itachi and made a small nod and itachi spoke again"..you will have to understand it someday..we both care for you still miru..but we have fates..we have to follow and change..we cant be what we once were, the 3 of us..", miru looked down".....hai", her voice was still calm but a little lower as she took naka into a tight hug

jaschu looked at his mother with his black eyes showing a little sorrow befor looking down

Toshi had put away her half-empty carton as Miru hugged her. She didn't know the reason for the hug, but she embraced the Uchiha back anyway, and ran a hand through her long black hair. "Miru-san, will you leave me if one of your brothers stay? Will he replace me?"

"...of cause not naka...but as you..i have a wish of 2 brothers being in peace, and living with me and you..", miru laid her forehead against toshi`s bare neck and toshi feelt something wet, was she crying?

Toshi pulled Miru's face up, her own showing concern. "What's wrong, Miru-san...?"

Miru was smiling as the tears ran out"..i guess the tears ive tried sealing off in 10 years..is comming out now.."

"Then...let it all out," Toshi encouraged. She smiled and hugged Miru, letting the Uchiha cry into her shoulder. "You shouldn't have locked it up for so long."

Itachi placed his half eaten bowl and got to his feet, walked over to the bed and laid a hand on miru`s head and toshi`s, making them both look up at him"..ill return in 3 days...please understand", he said befor oppening the window and leaping out

Miru let out a sigh but hid her face at toshi`s neckbase

"Miru-san, are you done...?" Toshi asked. She played with the Uchiha's hair and pat her back. "Or is there some left?"

Miru removed the rest of the tears from her chin and shock her head"..i guess not...nrrg..dont mess up my hair toshi, its taken me 5 years to grow it2

Toshi grinned and smoothed it back. "Why do you want it to be so long, anyway?"

Miru took one of the stains and swirled it in between two of her fingers"...i dont know, when asmo cut my hair as revenge for something itachi had said during one of their last visit`s, everyone got shocked, as if i didnt look like myself....i guess having long hair, gives me my identidy.."

"You keep long hair just because people would recognize you?" Toshi asked questionally. "Well, for me, Miru-san's voice is enough to know who you are!" She smiled, and hugged Miru innocently again.

Miru laughed a little"..well..it also makes me look like my mother..onii-chan also says i look, act and sound like her..every time i look in the mirror, its like im watching my mother, as if she was with me"

"I don't remember my real mother at all," Toshi said, still smiling. "But everyone said she was the sweetest in her prime, and many loved her." She sighed and rested her cheek on her. "But she could never find a man. Then, Dad came... The first, the only, and the last. And what's more...he wasn't even serious on keeping my mother. She was just something he could pass time with."

"...I think i understand what you mom went through naka..i never meet her, but my mother was her best friend..she told me alot of things..but i really dont remeber much from when my parents lived..only faint memories, as if something is preventing me to remeber--"

"Oh, that's bad!" Toshi pouted and shut her eyes. After a moment, she spoke. "I hope that I don't forget what I want to remember, or get it blocked."

Miru rubbed her neck a little"..dont worry you wont..and with my memories..i guess my mind didnt want to forget them cause they would probably just hurt me..2

Toshi sighed, and glanced up at Miru. "Miru-san, I hope you don't mind me asking, but how did you meet Samu-san and marry him?"

"Well..", miru removed some hair and used a finger to clear her shoulder from her blouse so the curse mark could be seen bye toshi"..my curse mark was going rampage..so deidara and sasori helped me get to samu..back then he was living alone in his fathers old mansion near the grass village, he had bein alone almost since birth but he had gained his father`s talent and grew up, learning everything there is to know about the uchiha clan and its jutsu`s..he sealed the curse mark and went home with me..we had both bein lonley for a really long time so we feel in love quickly.."

"Isn't that a bit too....rash? You barely knew each other..." Toshi muttered. Nedia sighed, and rubbed her back soothingly. "It's something only grown ups understand, Naka-chan."

"you keep forgetting im only 16 nedia, im not grown up yet..you could say it was because we just needed someone, when we had jaschu, it was for the clan`s sake, but we realized we was in love when it happend", miru pattet her head and gave her a little smile

"Oh! So it's because of Jashu-chan's birth, he realized he loved you." Toshi smiled to Miru, and her hand crept up to rest on her own belly. "Miru-san...how are babies made? Aiden-sama never taught me that."

Miru let out a small sigh"ill tell you someday naka, but i would love to get home first..", shrio crawled into toshi`s arms and nuzzeld her face against her belly"o..o..onee-chan!"
