《Fox》The way of the "Hn."
Advertisement
Itachi coughed. "Anyway I talked to him and we decided that we wanted to adopt you."
My jaw literally dropped. The Uchiha clan. They wanted to adopt me. Me? As much as I want to agree... there is to many problems.
"I can't," I said bluntly.
"I thought you'd say that," he started. "But the law states that anyone under the age of 16 can not live without a guardian under any circumstances."
"But I-"
"No buts," he said sternly. "It's either that or the orphanage and I don't want to take you there."
"I can't go there!" I said quickly. "This isn't fair. It's like your not giving me a choice."
"Cause I'm not and..." he trailed.
"You didn't," I said horrified. He just chuckled and scratched the back of his head.
"Yup I did, we already adopted you. Welcome to the family Kat Uchiha."
An Uchiha. I'm a fudging Uchiha. And to make it all worse, I have to live with them.
Dang.
I am currently packing all of my clothes that belong to this side of me. 'Kat' may have to live with the Uchiha's, but Naruto doesn't.
I sighed. I wish that I didn't answer any of their stupid questions- or talked to them in the first place. Stupid Hokage.
I gathered what little I had into a duffle bag and sunshined to the Uchiha district. I then walked over to Sasukes place. I refuse to even mutter that traitors name. I knocked on the door.
"I'll get it," I heard a young voice yell. The door opened and I was greeted by Sasuke. He stared at me wide eyed.
I started to get uncomfortable. "Um, hello. I'm uh... Kat and I guess I'm living with you now."

He kept staring.
"Can I come in?"
He didn't answer. He kept staring at me.
I was angry now. "HEY IDIOT!" I wacked him on the head with my hand and he went flying into the wall making a Sasuke shaped hole. "ANSWER PEOPLE WHEN THEY TALK TO YOU!"
That got him moving. Sasuke quickly got out of the Sasuke shaped hole and bowed. "Yes mam!"
"What's going on in there?" yelled a woman's voice. From the research I did on the Uchiha head family, I'm guessing that it's Mikoto Uchiha- Sasuke's and person who will not me named- mother
I glared at him and made a cutting gesture with my hands at my throat. He visibly gulped.
"Nothing mom, I was just being rude and she knocked some sense into me," he yelled back.
'He is too honest.' I thought to myself.
Mikoto came into the room and looked at the Sasuke shaped hole and back at me. She extended her hand. "Hello, I'm Mikoto Uchiha. Nice to meet you." She told me as if I didn't just punch her son threw the wall.
"Likewise. I'm Kat," I told her in return. She raised an eyebrow.
"Is that your real name?" she asked.
"No, it's the name that the person-who-will-not-be-named gave me," I told her.
"Do you mind me asking your real name?"
'She asks too many questions.' I thought. 'Just like person-who-will-not-be-named.'
"Yes," I simply replied. Sasuke seemed deep in thought.
"Very well. I'll show you to your room and we will talk about your situation during dinner," she told me making a gesture for me to follow. I obliged.
We walked for a bit and she showed me where all the rooms were until we got to mine. "This is your room," she said. "Feel free to do whatever you want with it- decorating wise."

I nodded and she left the room. I took this opportunity to look around. It was a good sized room with light gray walls. It had just one window that was right across from the door. The bed was pushed against the far side of the wall and it was a twin. It had a black bedspread with red decorative pillows and white pillows underneath. The floor was a dark wood and there was a light wood desk with a lamp. There was a closet on the left side of the room right beside the bed that had a dresser in it as well. By the bed side that isn't next to the wall was a dark red rug.
All in all, it was pretty fancy. Beats my old room.
...
It was now dinner time and I was sitting at the table awkwardly waiting for the clan head, Fugaku, to arrive.
It was awkwardly silent and it didn't help that they were staring at me. It's like they were waiting for me to take my mask off and eat. Dummies.
Finally breaking the silence, there was a deep voice that said, "I'm back."
"Hn," said Sasuke when he saw his father walk into the dining room.
"Hn," he nodded back.
"Hn," grunted Mikoto. Okay, now I'm getting weirded out.
"Hn," Fugaku grunted in reply.
"Hn," person-who-will-not-be-named grunted while facing his father.
"Hn," he said nodding his head. "It's agreed then."
I was just staring at them open mouthed. They were having a conversation?
He extended his hand and said, "Hn."
Not knowing what to do, I shook his hand and I said, "Hn." in reply.
They all gasped and stared at me in shock. "She didn't..." Sasuke said in shock.
"I can't believe it," Mikoto said putting her hand up to her face.
"You know the way of the 'Hn?'" person-who-will-not-be named asked.
"The way of the what?" I asked no one in particular bewildered.
"Hn," Fugaku grunted with his armed crossed and eyes closed.
"You're not helping," I told him.
They all gasped again. "She understood!" Mikoto said excitedly.
'What?' I thought to myself. 'Understood what? The Hn? That's a thing?'
My mind was spinning. All I could say was "Hn."
"She does understand!" Sasuke said excitedly. "It seems like she's fluent too!"
I looked at them like they're all crazy.
You'll never guess what Fugaku said next. "Hn."
"Hn!" grunted Sasuke excitedly. They both looked at me.
"Um, Hn?" I said/ asked... whatever.
"Oh, father can answer that," person-who-will-not-be-named told me.
What the heck is going on?
"Hn," Fugaku grunted nodding his head.
"Oh, I couldn't of said it better myself dear," Mikoto gushed.
"Hn?" I asked. Well I actually said 'Hm?' but they heard, 'Hn?'
"Oh, I guess she still doesn't get it," Mikoto said sadly.
I will save you now and only say... Hn. Not Hn. Hn. Get the difference?
Hn. (Translates to: I have learned the way of the 'Hn.')
