Chapter 1 - A New Beginning

Hello my fellow wattpadians! So, I decided to write an Itachi love story because... Why not? I don't plan on making this story too long as I am also writing my other book so don't expect heaps of chapters - maybe around 10? I really hope you enjoy!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Have I done the right thing? Will they even come looking for me? Do they even care? I bet they don't. They never have cared and never will. They all hate me but, what did I ever do to deserve all this pain and torture? Why me?

Tears began to escape my puffy eyes and roll down my bruised cheeks as I sat weak and beaten high up in the tree, lost. I stared watery eyed at the glistening full moon as it seemed to stare back at me.

~~~~~~~~ Flashback to this morning ~~~~~~~~~~

I awakened to the burning sunlight shining from the small window which was located in the corner of my tiny room. Oh great... Another day to survive I thought as I clumsily climbed out of my tattered old blanket and off the cold hard wooden floorboards which I call my bed.

I stumbled over towards the small mirror that crookedly hung on the wall, looking at the reflection of my dead looking face as bruises occupied the rough skin of my cheeks and my mucky silver hair hang in clumps and knots.

As I began to run my thin broken looking fingers through my tangled hair, I tried to conjure up some kind of plan to avoid them for the day to prevent anymore trouble and torture for at least once, but no matter how hard I rattled my little brain for ideas, it was no use... There was no escape from my broken and cursed reality.

Once I had removed most of the knots, I decided to go grab a new set of clothes and brush my teeth before I went to go shower as I knew I wouldn't be allowed any breakfast.

So after I grabbed my towel and a fresh set of clothes ,I made my way over to the window and opened the hatch as quietly as I could then pushed open the window, escaping out of it sneakily and making my way towards the waterfall that only I knew of.

The more I continued to walk in the direction on the waterfall the more I could hear the splashes of water gushing together. The waterfall wasn't very big but it wasn't very small and the water wasn't very cold but it wasn't very warm either, you could call it the perfect place for a good swim or in my case, a good shower.

Once I reached the familiar looking opening, the first thing I saw was the sparkling blue water which looked like little beads of diamonds floating together in the sun light. The sound of the water crashing together seemed to calm me and the splashes that were caused little water droplets to land on the lush green grass. This place was like a heaven to me.

I strolled closer to the water and began to take off my clothes. No one knew this place, not even my family(thank god!) , so nobody would see me.

I began to slid off the thin pieces of tattered fabric that I call my clothes, revealing my extremely thin and beaten body. All over my body were cuts, bruises and scars from the times when I did something my parents didn't like or if they just wanted to beat me.

My ribs could be seen very clearly due to the lack of food and my legs were nearly as thin as sticks - literally!

I sighed as silent tears began to escape my control and roll down my painful cheeks, my emotion filled within each droplet. Why me? Why was I cursed to live this kind of life?! I wish I could escape this terror!

I began to wipe away the tears, I shouldn't cry, it shows my weaknesses, I can't cry...

Grabbing my shampoo and soap, I made my way towards the dream-like waterfall, letting the Luke warm water run through my hair and across my body causing a refreshing feeling to shoot through me. A small smile crept it's way to my cracked lips as I started to relax into the comfort of the water - this was the only pleasure I am able to get.

As I began to rub the shampoo though my silver hair, suds ran down my fragile back which tickled me slightly.

Once I had washed my body and hair, I decided that maybe having a quick swim might be nice as the weather seemed to be quite hot today and since my family was out, there was no rush to be home.

So, after I finished my refreshing shower, I started to walk deeper and deeper into the lake until my little feet could no longer touch the ground, forcing me to begin to swim.

My arms moved delicately against the glistening blue water as I swam steadily with the current. The light breeze created a refreshing feeling to linger as the leaves started to twirl around whilst they clung tightly to their tree branch. This was all truly amazing, I wish I could stay here forever!

After I had finished my little morning swim, I climbed clumsily out of the water and onto the luscious green grass, stumbling over to where my towel and clothes were located.

Once I reached my destination, I picked up the old battered towel and dried my beaten skin, soon after I started dressed myself. I then grabbed my shampoo, soap, towel and my clothes from earlier and made my way back to the house, who knows what will happen if they find out I was gone...

I decided to run back in order for my far- reaching pale hair to dry before I reached my journeys end. As I reached the building, I peeked around the side of the wall to check if the car was there or for any sign of their presence - they had gone out. Thank heavens!

I made my way around the house to find my bedroom window. Once I had found it, I climbed through and into my room, placing all the products I used away in their places. I may not really have much of a bedroom and I hardly own anything but with the stuff I do own, I want to keep it as tidy as possible! People these days don't really appreciate what they have until it is taken away from them..

I stumbled over to the cracked door and placed my fragile ear against the cold wood. There was no sound. They have defiantly gone out so it may be best to go and make myself some more money, I'm sure the coffee shop wouldn't mind a little help again.

So once again, I jumped out from the open window and jogged down the busy streets towards the little coffee shop that I had come to know quite well. You see, they have always had suspicions about some kind of trouble at home so the owner lets me work there whenever I'm free to earn a little money to... Survive. She is a really kind person.

Once I reached the front door of the shop, I walked in only to be greeted by friendly smiles... These people were the only friends I have.

"Welcome Kumiko! You come to work for a while?" She questioned as she beckoned me to join her behind the counter. "Yes I have actually, I have a lot of free time on my hands so I thought I would pop down for a while" I replied as a smile made its way to my pained lips.

" MIKO CHAN" I heard a voice call from behind me as I turned only to see Akira, one of the other employees, she was very... Lively.

She ran towards me, her arms held out wide but before she could pull me into an embrace I moved to the side causing her to trip and fall. "I'm so sorry Kira chan, it's just you know how much I hate hugs" well that was a lie, I just don't want anyone to find out how skinny I am.

"It's okay Mika chan, I just forgot about that! I'm not hurt so it's all okay!" She replied over enthusiastically. This is going to be a very long day.....

----------- 4 hours later------------

I had just finished my work shift and It wasn't too bad, I actually wish I could have stayed longer to avoid going home but I knew that if my parents found out I have being gone, hell would break loose.

The hot weather was starting to dim and the sky was beginning to grow darker as I stumbled along the now empty streets, only a few people could be seen. I looked up at the clock located upon the church, 4:46 it read, oh damn! It is already getting dark at this time? I had no idea I had been out for so long! I mentally cursed as I began to speed up in order to get home, no doubt my parents would be back by now and would be very angry.

Once I reached the house, my stomach began to turn and I started to feel kinda sick, just the thought of what they will do to me makes me want to just break down. I once again peered around the corner to see if they were home but unlike last time, there was a car in the drive way.

My eyes widened as I began to sprint round to where my bedroom window was but this time it had being locked shut an there was no way of getting inside that way. No! Not again! Please not again! I can't handle this anymore! I can't go through another day of this hell hole! Please help me! Please.....

The only way I could get in now was the front door and my parents knew that very well, they are going to be furious! Tears escaped my eyes in fear and anticipation, what will they do this time? What can I do? There is nothing I can do...

I reached the front door and placed my sweaty hand upon the handle and began to open the door, staying as quietly as possible but there was really no point, there is no escaping this.

" Oh so you finally decide to show that hideous face of yours!" I heard my mother say as I turned to face her, too afraid to say a word. "Not talking? Tell me, where the hell have you being you little brat!?" She shouted whilst yanking my hair very forcefully "ahhhhhhh!" I yelp as her grip tightened even more and my tears became more violent. "I-i j-ust...Ahhh... Went f-for a.... Agghhh!... Walk!" I replied through painful screams and tears.

"I told you that you are NEVER aloud to leave that room unless I say you can you little s***!!!" She scolded whilst forcefully kicking me in the stomach causing me to fall to my knees in pure agony! "P-please! P-please stop!" I pleaded to the monster before me, her eyes seeming to be boring into my soul.

"I have had it with you! You don't deserve to live anymore! You are just a worthless piece of trash that nobody wants! You should have never have being born!" She screamed at me whilst yanking back my hair and kicking me again in the same place as before "AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!" I screamed once again in agony as I began to cough up blood.

"Oh I have had it! See what you have just done! You just stained my precious carpet with your stupid blood! You will pay for that!" She screamed again as she let go of my hair and stormed off into the kitchen, the sound of cutlery clinging together echoing off the walls.

'OH NO! I have to move! I have to escape! Hurry Kumiko! You need to move quick!'

The tears began to slow down as I focused on standing, ignoring the overwhelming pain from my stomach and ribs. Once I was stood. I clumsily ran up the wooden stairs towards my room as fast as I could in my state, the sound of footsteps becoming more clear as she exited the kitchen.

"Where have you gone you piece of crap! Get back here!" I heard her shout psychotically as she made her way towards the stairs, probably following my trail of blood.

'Run! RUN! RUN!' I continued to stumble up the stairs until I reached my bedroom door "you have nowhere to run my dear" I heard my mother say in a very sickly sweet tone.

I burst open my door and quickly stumbled towards the window, trying my hardest to unjam it in order for me to escape.

"I locked it so you couldn't escape Kumiko! Are you ready for your fate?" She questioned in a demonic-like way, the shiny knife in her hand as she smirked evily.

"I shall not die by the hands of you! Your a psychotic monster! You are not the one to decide my fate, my path, I AM!" I shouted as I jumped through the window causing little shards of glass to fall along with me. I had to run away, far from here, but where? Oh I know!

My tired legs began to run in the direction of the familiar meadow as soon as they hit the ground. I sprinted through trees, the sound of my mother shouting from the house echoed though the forest but I was unable to hear the words she spoke.

Tears began to fall from my eyes, again. I'm crying again! I'm such a cry baby! I'm showing weakness! I shouldn't cry! It makes me weak... But today I can't really help it. I was nearly at the waterfall meadow but my legs were starting to give in on me, I was close to collapsing there and then, I just need to hang on a little longer...

After what seemed like hours, I finally started to hear the familiar gushes of water as I pushed past each branch, my fragile legs became weaker and weaker with each step I took, I don't know how long I can hang on...

I burst past the last tree branch and collapsed almost immediately, luckily the only possession I had to carry was my purse so I wasn't carrying any extra weight.

My body crashed to the ground with a thump, everything going limp ,disabling me from moving for the time being. I finally did it. I finally left that hell hole! After so long. I could never go back... Ever. I am not willing to ever go through that again, it is too much for me.

After a while of staring at the hypnotising moonlight through the water, the numbness began to reside enabling me to move again.

Once the feeling in my body came back, I didn't really feel as comfortable laid on the ground like this so I decided to hop up into one of the trees which happened to be the biggest one in the meadow.

As I sat upon the branch I began to ponder upon weather I had done the right thing. Yeah I had escaped the beating and torture but what about food? How will I afford to eat? Well they never really fed me before and I guess I could get another job... But what about clothes though? I guess I am thinking too much into it...

~~~~~~~~ End of flash back~~~~~~~~~

As I continued to gaze at the hypnotic full moon, my eyes began to grow weary, tiredness washing over me. I have had a very eventful day, maybe some sleep might help me recover. Who knows what will happen, this is the start of a new beginning....
