The short walk from the Yamanaka Flower Shop to Konoha’s hospital seemed to drag for 𝐼𝓏𝓊𝓂𝒾 𝒰𝒸𝒽𝒾𝒽𝒶, who was currently sandwiched between 𝐼𝓉𝒶𝒸𝒽𝒾 𝒰𝒸𝒽𝒾𝒽𝒶, her childhood crush, and 𝒯𝑒𝓃𝓂𝒶 𝐼𝓏𝓊𝓂𝑜, his teammate. The tension in the air was so thick that Izumi thought she could slice it with a kunai. She had little knowledge of what exactly transpired on their last mission, but what she did know was that someone close to her was nearly killed.

Arriving at the hospital with a bouquet of daisies in hand, the young female Uchiha and her companions were escorted to the room of 𝑅𝓎𝓊𝓊 𝒩𝒶𝓇𝒶, the third genin of Team 2 and Izumi’s 𝗯𝗲𝘀𝘁 𝗳𝗿𝗶𝗲𝗻𝗱.

With a sombre expression, Izumi seated herself on the edge of the hospital bed and presented Ryuu the arrangement of white and yellow flowers.

“How are you feeling today, Ryuu? Ita, Tenma and I picked you up some flowers to help cheer you up! We really hope you like them!”

Out of the corner of her eye, Izumi noticed the two young shinobi males standing awkwardly, unaware of what to do in this type of situation.

“I wasn’t going to say anything, but you two are making ME uneasy just by looking at you…”

Itachi and Tenma stood to attention as they were 𝒄𝒂𝒍𝒍𝒆𝒅 𝒐𝒖𝒕, their ears turning a light shade of crimson.

“… Please tell me what happened.”

Izumi giggled and pet her best friend’s head, careful not to bump any of the tubes or bandages as she does so. If Izumi had a weakness, it was 𝑹𝒚𝒖𝒖’𝒔 𝒑𝒖𝒑𝒑𝒚-𝒆𝒚𝒆𝒔.

“I know, Ryuu. You’re one of the strongest shinobi I know! Now, listen up, you three…”

The young Uchiha glanced at the three genin and crossed her arms over her chest, a serious look replacing her usual happy-go-lucky one.

“… Whatever happened on the mission, I ask that you guys just forget about it for a minute. Can I count on you to do that?”

Once she had confirmation, Izumi nodded knowingly and continued her speech.

“Perfect. Now, the only thing that should be important to you guys right now is the fact that you’re all alive. Ryuu…”

Izumi turned her attention to her usually hyperactive best friend and offered her a 𝒔𝒖𝒑𝒑𝒐𝒓𝒕𝒊𝒗𝒆 𝒔𝒎𝒊𝒍𝒆.

“… Yes, you suffered serious injuries, but… Knowing you, you probably just wanted to protect everyone. Am I right?”

Her head snapped in the direction of Itachi and Tenma and she smirked at the two knowingly.

“Itachi, you’re being celebrated for your Sharingan while your teammate is in the hospital. And, you, Tenma… You nearly had to watch Ryuu die right in front of you. This stuff isn’t to be taken lightly.”

She huffed before wrapping up her lecture, making sure that all ears and eyes were on her, the youngest of the four kids in the room.

“The thing is… You guys all care about each other. You’re a team, remember? Instead of pulling away from each other, you need to come together as one.”

“… Please tell me what happened.”

Izumi sighed in relief once the tension in the air faded into a more comfortable one. Seeing the trio return to their normal selves felt like a huge weight had been lifted from her chest and shoulders.

She squeezed Ryuu’s hands and nodded knowingly. Of course she would jump in and protect her teammates, or even Izumi herself, because that’s just the kind of person she is, that Nara girl. And Izumi was extremely grateful to be in her life.

Witnessing her best friends’ antics, Izumi dramatically gasped and gently shook her arm, joining in with the shenanigans almost immediately.

“Ryuu! No! Yūki-sensei, please have mercy on Miss Nara! I beg of you!”

She pretended to beg to no one in particular for a few seconds before nearly tumbling off the edge of the hospital bed, happy tears glossing over her midnight-coloured orbs.

“But, seriously, Ryuu… I’m really glad that you’re okay. I was so worried about you when Itachi told me that you had been hurt…”

Taking a chance, she glanced over at the other Uchiha and locked eyes with him. He now possessed the Sharingan, the kekkei genkai that Izumi had previously acquired when her Father was killed in the Nine-Tailed Fox attack on the Leaf Village. She knew that she had to be there for him just as much as she needed to be there for Ryuu. She truly cared for and loved them… Yes, even Tenma.

Izumi closed her eyes and hummed as the fresh, evening wind blew through her dark brown locks. Up there on the balcony, she felt so free, so calm… Except for the fact that her childhood crush was standing right next to her, staring nonchalantly at the other households in the Uchiha Compound. At least, that’s how Itachi would come across to others, but to Izumi? No. The cogs in Itachi’s mind were turning so quickly that she could practically hear them.

“Itachi, I think we should talk.…”

She started feebly, working up the courage to have a heart-to-heart with the Uchiha Prodigy.

“The last week or so has been rough on you, Tenma and Ryuu… But, now, I just wanna talk about you and how you feel for a minute. Is that okay?”

Her hands settled on a spot in front of her on the balcony’s handrail and she took a deep breath, exhaling sharply.

“How have you been handling your Sharingan? I’m still struggling with mine, so… I just want you to know that I’m here for you no matter what.”

Izumi felt her heart sink into her stomach as she listened to Itachi express his inner most concerns to her. They were 𝚖𝚎𝚛𝚎 𝚌𝚑𝚒𝚕𝚍𝚛𝚎𝚗 who had already witnessed the cruelty of the shinobi world. So much violence, hatred and death. Itachi had it much harder than Izumi, being the Uchiha Prodigy and all. It was a lot, too much, in fact, for a child to bear. Which is why she knew that as Itachi’s friend, she needed to be there for him.

“You know, Itachi… I was really scared when my Sharingan activated for the first time. Since my Dad wasn’t an Uchiha and my Mom hadn’t activated hers until roughly the same time I did, I didn’t know what to do or what was happening to me. So, to me, you’re already doing a great job handling it.”

She peered down at the Uchiha boy’s hand gripping the balcony, his knuckles the shade of snow from how tight his hold on it was. Taking a chance, she stepped sideways, closer to Itachi, and placed her smaller hand on top of his in an attempt to comfort him.

“You’re the strongest, smartest and coolest ninja I’ve ever known, Ita. I have all of the faith in the world that you’ll become an amazing shinobi.”

She didn’t expect Itachi to hold her hand or even acknowledge that it was there, but she hoped that it was what he needed to feel safe.

She wanted to be a safe haven for him.

“You know Ryuu almost as well as I do, right? She’ll jump in front of anyone she cares about to take a hit for them, that’s just the kind of person she is. She’d do it for me, for you, even Tenma…”

She giggled innocently and gently nudged Itachi’s shoulder with her own.

“…Everything will be just fine, I know it. And if something isn’t fine in the future, just know that I’ll be by your side to help you get through it. Always.”
