Dragon Peach by Ana Alvarez (ebook reader below 3000 TXT) 📕

pass the time they spoke together, more her than him, but nevertheless she spoke of her village and how she was born with an instinct to heal. She was good at fighting with taijutsu but that was about it. Her mother was sickly right when she had given birth to her and her mother was the one who decided to call her Momo because when she was a baby her body didn't digest milk and her grandmother had given the new parents a tip.

Why not give her peach juice? That's where her name had been found. "Hm, well you tell me if you start getting uncomfortable" She nodded and looked forward, looking seriously concentrated now. Itachi moved his eyes to the right and before he even had time to breathe in he was already moving forward and ran in front of her, his arm erect to his side.

She let out a frustrated sigh and took the kunai, which was held in between the Uchiha's index and middle finger, and said aloud, "Really you guys?" Itachi then noticed the figures a few feet away from them. A man and a woman stood with there arms crossed against their chest, their expressions unreadable since their head was covered with bandages.

The woman had long, purple hair that tumbled down her back and hazel eyes that seemed to pierce into Itachi as she studied him. The man next to her had chocolate colored skin and also had hazel eyes, his head too was covered in bandages and both wore similar looking clothing. White kimonos that fell before the knees and the only difference between the two are that the females' kimono was cut on the sides, showing off her pale legs.

"We just wanted to make sure that he was worthy of you… Momo-hime" The man said as they both bowed. "What if the child had been hurt?" Momo retorted, glaring down at the two new people. The looked at each other quickly and bowed their heads. "We are sorry Momo-hime" Momo sighed and gave Itachi an apologetic smile. "I am truly sorry for this Itachi-sama, these are my two bodyguards AND my best friends, Ichi-san," She pointed to the woman, "and Juu-san" she moved her finger over to the man.

They stood and walked over to Momo, looking over her as if checking for any injuries. "We assure that your night here was well?" Juu asked as the group walked down the road and towards Itachi's home. He stayed a few feet away from them of course but close enough that if something were to happen, he could get there in three seconds and get Sasuke away from any danger.

"Yes, Itachi-sama and his family have made me feel welcomed" Ichi looked over Momo's head and looked at the silent Uchiha. Getting the feeling of being stared at Itachi turned and looked back at the woman. "You. Uchiha Itachi right?" Itachi looked over at Momo who smiled at him encouragingly and looked back at Ichi, nodding his answer. "Just want you to know… We will always be watching you" The two said simultaneously.


"Good morning!" Mikoto chirped happily when they walked into the house, waking Sasuke up at the sound of his mother's voice. "Momo-nee-chan, I'm hungry" Mikoto laughed and said, "Well since Momo-chan is here now, I'm guessing you won't need me anymore huh Sasuke-chan?"

Sasuke whipped towards his mother and gave her a very cute, very convincing sad face. "Noo! Okaa-san I love you more!" Sasuke reached out for his mother who took him and walked into the kitchen, talking with her youngest son.

"Okaa-san..." Itachi said and walked behind her. "I'll be going out soon, is there anything you would like me to pick up?" Mikoto thought for a second and rummaged through a drawer taking out a piece of paper which had "Shopping List" written on top. "Here you go. Your Aunt probably has most of the list on here though"

She smiled at her oldest son who seemed to grow to fast for her eyes to catch up. "Alright I'll be right back then" He turned but stopped when he heard his mother call him. "Itachi-kun why don't you take Momo-chan, I bet she would like to go and see the compound" Itachi looked over to said girl who stood quietly by the door and looked at the scene, enteraining Sasuke with her fingers.

"Oh Mikoto-sama, I shouldn't really. I would just get in the way of Itachi-sama's duties" She said quietly but even before Itachi could tell her it was no problem at all his mother had beat him to it. "It's no problem at all Momo-chan! Plus since you'll be staying with us for a while why not learn how to get yourself around when no one is here?" Itachi sighed and shook his head. His mothers over eagerness was showing.

"Well if Itachi-sama does not mind then I would be more than glad to accompony him" She said with a smile on her lips. "Great! Now run along you two, I'll have breakfast ready by the time you come home" They bid Mikoto farewell as they, once again, headed outside. As they walked, Itachi would say some facts about the buildings here and there. How the houses were similar because when the Uchiha clan was found they wanted to show how powerful and in tune every one was or the flower shop had some flowers that were only grown inside the Uchiha clan and nowhere else.

Another one would be the Uchiha police force. One of the elite and strongest in the Leaf Village and he had commented on how Sasuke want to go into the force once he finished his academy training. He had even made her laughed when he mumbled how Sasuke hasn't even STARTED in the academy. "Shall I wait here for you Itachi-sama?" She said when they had reached his Aunt and Uncle's store.

Itachi looked up at the window seeming to ponder it and said, "If you want to I'll just be a few minutes" She nodded and leaned against a railing as he walked in. She looked around and smiled a the small clan. It had many similarities with hers and even though she didn't admit it she felt homesick already. Even though she was an only child, to her all the children in the Ryuu clan were her brothers and sisters or so she called them. A woman and a few men walked passed her but their looks that were directed to her were looks of disgust.

Momo blushed and looked away. She had been waiting for THAT kind of attention from the residents of the Uchiha clan. The Uchihas and the Ryuu's were never good friends, the Ryuu's jealous for the sharingan and the Uchihas jealous of their healing powers. Her father though had spoken to her and had told her that she was the key to bringing the two clans together... Whaever that meant.

From the corner of her eye she saw the woman sneer and say something to her companions bringing them to laugh, the joke probably being about the girl a few feet from them. A shadow loomed over her and when she looked upwards she gasped at the closeness Itachi's face was too her's.

He peered down at her, his usual black eyes were tinted in red and they seemed fierce. His arm shot out and slammed his palm next to left side of my head and from over his shoulder he made contact with the woman who seemed frightened. She took a step back and started leaving, her companions following right behind her.

"Now that I think about it I believe it's best if you go with me if you ever feel like going out just for a few days. Some of the clan memebers still have dislike the Ryuu clan and you alone will be very vulnarable" He whispered to her and without changing his posture he gazed into the hazel eyes noticing something in them the other two didn't have. Brown dots seemed to be splayed across her pupils, going around the circle.

He had a sudden urge to play connect the dots when he noticed they made a shape. "I-itachi-sama.." Her cheeks turned into a deep shade of red and suddenly he saw her in a whole different light. The sun shined down on her in the early morning and her hair seemed brighter then usual giving it a loud, fire color that seemed to contrast the black bangs that fell in front of his eyes. Her lips were parted and as she slid her small, pink tongue out of her mouth and skimmed it over her dry lips they glistened in the light bringing his attention solely to them.

Her hazel eyes never once left his own even when they downcasted to her lips. She had never seen such pair of eyes before and by just looking at them she could feel all the hidden emotions he must of been hiding. His hand slid down the wall and laid limp at his side, his mind swirling with thought's that were too intimate for a twelve year old, not matter how mature he was. "We should get going"

He said making her nod and follow right behind him. Her cheeks were still warm and her heart pounded from the close contact with him and yet she couldn't help wonder what his story was.
Chapter 3

'A month already... Time flies here'

Juu yelled out as he ran forward, kunai ready in his hand. Momo looked straight at her opponent counting the steps Juu was taking and as soon as he got to nine he was right in front of her and before he got the chance to sink the kunai into her she bent her body backwards, the kunai hovering over her face. Not wasting any time she lifted her leg using her bare foot to grip the kunai and fling it to a random tree.

Standing on her own two hands, she back flipped and landed on the ground gracefully, her trainng top lifting a bit. Juu looked around and searched around before disappearing. Momo closed her eyes and took a deep breath in, letting the now familiar smells into her nose. She sensed Ichi's chakra near the tree and Juu's chakra towards the sky but there was another one near her but this one was... different.

"Stop!" Ichi appeared immediatly next to her and Juu just two seconds after. Momo smiled finally seeing whose it belonged to and making her way across the field she crouched behind the bush and said, "Your hiding skills are impecable Sasuke-chan" She smiled down at the little boy who laid on his stomach, a pout on his lips probably because he had been caught.

"Apperantly not as good as you think Onee-chan, you found me!" Momo giggled and picked him up. "I guess our training is
