2 Weeks Later..
Y/n just got back from doing a little shopping. Of course, it took a while but since you were somewhat a master at Ninjutsu, you were able to get the job done faster by jumping from branch to branch by using chakra.
Arriving to your...new home, you slid open the door to find it empty.
"Raida?" You called out. No response.
"In here...Y/n.." a voice called from the other room In between coughs.
A week ago, Raida started to cough uncontrollably. She was taken to nearby medic two days later and turns out that she was suffering from an incurable disease and the only thing they could do was push back the days further as much as they can.
You were heartbroken while Raida accepted it, already knowing about the Sickness as she has had it since she was a child. That's why she spent most of her life exploring sceneries and adventuring to nearby lakes and streams, rarely being with her family. But She was all You had left. So if she were to go...what would You do then?
"I brought tea and some of your medication..." You said.
"Thanks, Y/n." Raida smiled, causing Y/n to frown even more.
Raida looked weak. Her burned marks were still on her arms but had gotten better, her tired eyes, skinny figure and small smile.
'Seems like the sickness had gotten worse..' you thought and began to make tea.
Sometime later, the sun went down fully, showing the dark blue-ish gray colored sky that shined with starts that were scattered everywhere.
"Y/n.." Raida started.
"Yes?" Y/n answered.
"Let's head outside. The stars look nice tonight."
"..."
Your helped Raida outside. Both of you sat on the ground that was surrounded by small yet beautiful flowers and grass. You both gazed up at the sky in silence. Not awkward, but peaceful.
Raida's POV
I stared up at the sky. I believe my time has come as I fell my body begin to weaken and become cold.
"Y/n..." I started and turned to her.
"Yeah?" She asked. Her eyes staring from the sky to me.
"You know that you're the best niece ever? Even though you can be....quite a baby sometimes.." I said in between coughs.
Y/n pouted as I giggled in my head. "Hmph!"
"But promise me this...no matter what happens....always be happy, okay?" I said weakly. Y/n seemed to notice and began to panic.
"R-raida?! Are you okay?!" She asked. I slightly shook my head.
"..no. Its Time.. I will see my sister again.."
Y/n began to cry as I fall on my back. The energy being drained from my body.
"Y/n...even though our time together was short...I really enjoyed spending time with you.. also..promise that you'll never forget me..." I say.
"I p-promise..."
"Good...goodbye y/n...be a good girl for me, okay? I'll be watching..."
I take one last look of her. I hear her call out my name but then they become echoes. My vision of her becomes blurry as I slowly close my eyes, forming a smile on my face as I finally accept my fate and took my last breath.
'Goodbye, Y/n. Until next time...'
Y/n POV
"RAIDA! Wake up! Wake up PLEASE!" I cried as I shook her.
Why isn't she getting up!? Please be a prank..!
Her body felt cold. I checked her pulse, heart and her breathing...nothing..
She dead...
I stared at her lifeless body that had a permanent smile on. She was happy..
I pushed both my knees against my chest, wrapped my arms around them and put my head down and began to silently sob.
A few minutes passed. Everything was silent except for the sound crickets and the wind slightly blowing, until I heard footsteps coming close.
Lifting my head, I see a tall man with really long spiky hair that covered the right side of the man's face. He wore a black outfit with red body Armor on and his eyes looked like mine but didn't show any emotion. He looked intimidating..
The man started to walk closer..a little too close which caused me to get into my battle stance, taking out my scythe and jumped in front of Raida, quickly activating my Sharingan.
(You carry your scythe everywhere you go)
He stopped and stared at me for a moment before smirking.
"What do you want?" I asked sternly, wiping away my tears.
"2 weeks ago I spotted a massive fireball in the air. Decided to go check it out- in secret of course..then I found you." He said.
I lifted a brow.
"As you should know..." he crossed his arms. "...you used too much Chakra in that one fireball, causing it to burst. But if I may ask: What made you want to cause such destruction?"
"...it wasn't on purpose. I was just trying to train in order to become strong..to get revenge on the Senju's for the death of my parents." I said, still not letting my guard down. That man..looks familiar.
He was silent and stared at me.
"You..remind me of my younger brother." He said.
Not sure whether to take that as an insult or a compliment so I just stayed quiet.
"Anyways." The man turned around and began to walk away. "Just came to spectate. Bye child"
"Wha- Hey!" I called out. How do you just randomly approach someone, say some things and then leave!?
"Where are you going?!" I yelled.
"I have business to attend to." The man said, continuing to walk away.
'What?! He's not gonna at least help me?!' I thought.
3rd person POV
Y/n was confused on whether or not to follow the man but didn't want to leave Raida. So, being stubborn, she put her Scythe behind her back, picked up Raida and followed him.
Hearing upcoming footsteps, the man turned his gaze to behind him, not moving his head.
"Why are you following me, child?" He asked.
" I have a name. It's Y/n and I don't know where else to go.."
"So you just follow random strangers?"
"No.. but I don't have anyone else. Raida was all I had left but..."
"So you're taking the corpse?" He asked.
You nodded. "Of course! I wanna give Raida a proper burial. I couldn't just leave her lying there!"
"..."
Following the mysterious man, Y/n kept her gaze on Raida...well...Raida's body. The man wouldn't show it but he felt pity for the child so he brung her to the Uchiha cemetery where they had buried the fallen Uchiha soldiers after the small war.
Y/n looked around. 'Is he helping me?' She thought.
Walking around, she stopped in front of two tombstones (that's what they're called right?)
~Raya Uchiha~
~(Fathers Name) Uchiha~
(I named your mother, sorry)
The girl's expression saddened seeing her parents's names. She misses them dearly.
She then decided to bury Raida next to her mother that way they can still be together.
"Eh?" Y/n noticed a human sized hole next to the grave with an opened coffin inside. "Was that always there?" She mumbled.
Y/n decided to not think too much of it and softly placed Raida into the coffin and took one last glance at her before closing the coffin. 'She looks peaceful..why did you have to leave, Raida?'
Y/n turned her head and saw that the man was still here. He was facing a different direction.
{After putting the dirt in the grave..}
'I don't have a tombstone for Raida or anything to put...oh! I'll go get her something. Like..a flower! Raida's favorite were always pink Roses.' Y/n said in her head. Walking up to the man, gently pulling his sleeve to get his attention. "Hey Mr, I'm finished." She said.
"Hn."
As you two began walking, you decided to ask him a question. "Hey Mr. what's your name?"
"Its Madara. Madara Uchiha." He said. You smiled. "Well nice to meet you Madara. I'm Y/n Uchiha tee hee!" You said. He hummed in response. Both of you then decided to enjoy the silence as you followed him.
A/n: yeah, I pulled an Itachi on Raida cuz I needed to get rid of her in order to get to the interesting parts.
Sorry Raida 🖐
Raida: E...
A/n: anyways. Since I have school tomorrow, I might not update every day or 2 because of schoolwork and how tired I'll be after. But I'll still try. Bye bye now!
