《I don't want to be a hero》Chapter 20: Where are they?
Advertisement
When the day finally came, Sara was pretty anxious, wondering what Uncle Muscle would say
The moment school finish, she left the classroom at full speed and went as fast as possible to Uncle Muscle place
Luckily, she wasn't hit by a car on the way there or something like that and managed to arrive at Uncle Muscle place without a problem and half an hour earlier than usual
She used the intercom and Uncle Muscle let her come inside like usual(door could be open from the office)
She went upstair by the elevator, rang the door bell and Uncle Muscle let her come inside
They have been doing it for a year now, so it was almost a routine
The only difference with most days was that today was finally the day
She had been waiting for what looked like an eternity for this day, and Sara couldn't be more anxious about it
She sat in her usual chair while Uncle Muscle sat on his, and she asked
"Uncle Muscle, you promise you would tell me about my family today, did you find them?"(Sara)
Uncle Muscle, flinched for a second, and instead of answering, he took a bottle of whiskey from one of his drawers and pour it on a glass
Sara saw him do this a couple of times and knew he wouldn't answer anything until he finished his glass, or at least, drank some of it
Sara had no other choice but to wait, like it or not
Uncle Muscle slowly sipped the whiskey one sip at a time while making hmm noises from time to time
After what looked like an eternity to Sara, Uncle Muscle finally put down the whiskey and looked directly to Sara's eyes
"Look, kid, I searched searching for your family members before we even made the one-year contract. I didn't tell you sooner simply because it was at a bad time with you, with Cat gone and all that, so I decided to make you wait one year so you had time to settle down your fillings"(Muscle) said honestly

Wich made Sara really worried
She read numerous reports about the incident for the past year and knew that most kids were either put for adoption, in a hospital, death or missing
With the way Uncle Muscle said it, the first conclusion Sara came up with was obviously the worst, death
"are they dead"(Sara) mustered all her courage and asked
She was just about to cry, but she was holding it until she got an answer
"No no no no no, they are not dead"(Uncle) lied with a panicked reaction
And Sara completely bought it. Why wouldn't she? She trusted Uncle Muscle
Besides, even thought I told you the event in details, Sara didn't remember everything that happened
Or more like every time she tried to remember, she would panic, and even if she forced herself, she would end up vomiting
She even had nightmares from time to time, but she wasn't sure what was a dream and what was reality
All she knew was that they were there, and asleep while she was the only one awake. And she wasn't sure of even that
So when Uncle Muscle told her they were alive, not only did she believe him, a burden on her heart lifted a little
"Where are they then?"(Sara) finally asked after relaxing her shoulders unconsciously
"Well, that is the thing. I don't know"(Muscle)said with a pained expression
Wich caused Sara to panic again
"What do you mean?"(Sara) said a little afraid
"Well, the thing is, your brothers John and Max were reported missing, and your sister jess was adopted"(Muscle) said
And Sara didn't know how to react. Missing, adopted?what was he talking about?
"Look, about Max and John, I asked at the hospitals, orphanages and morgue but no one saw any kid with their description. I also asked survivors people that worked that day, etc, but no one saw them or knew where they were"(Uncle Muscle)lied

"But what happened to them? where could they be? why did they never contact me?"(Sara) said while been a little confused with the whole situation
"I don't know. Maybe they went to a different hospital than the rest or went to a different orphanage or something like that. I will try to find them, but I can't make any promises"(Muscle) kept the lie going
But Sara was half listening and half thinking
Missing, it was one of the three options. After the incident, some kids were reported missing, and no one knew where they were, but there were theories
One of them was what Uncle Muscle said, but the most common theory was a different one
The hood guys did it
They were the scapegoat for everything that went wrong that day, so it isn't a surprise they were blamed for it
But Sara believed it. She already hated the guys, so why wouldn't she think they were the incarnation of evil and everything wrong with her life?
She was about to ask about them being behind it, but uncle Muscle kept going
"And about your sister Jess, I found her in the hospital and one of the orphanages, but she was quickly adopted after the incident, and when I found her tail, she was already outside the system"(Uncle Muscle) said
Wich distracted Sara from her previous train of thoughts and made her thing about Jess situation
"But who adopted her?"(Sara) asked
"I don't know, it is a confidential record. They don't tell strangers about who adopted who and it took me some time and effort to finally found who adopt her"(Muscle)
"Who was it?"(Sara) asked expectantly
"The superhero angel"(Uncle Muscle)

Joie de Vivre
A modern man chased immortality and found it. In a mixture of good and bad luck, he was re-born as part of the Uzumaki clan from the Naruto-verse, some few years before their scheduled destruction. But if Daichi were the sort to allow a little thing like fate to get in his way, he'd never have survived in the first place. Dedicated, intelligent, chock full of ideas from a technologically advanced society, and perfectly willing to scorch the earth, he sets out to avert history. Can he avert canon, save the Uzumaki, and forge his people into a mighty nation? Or will he fail, dooming his clan to extinction? At the end of the day, all he wants is a good life. And considering even Death itself didn't stop him, he pities whoever gets in his way. ================== Tags: Naruto, Reincarnation, OC, eventual multi-cross. ================== Author's (Brief) Note: Back by popular demand. This was my first significant fanfic (and fic in general). I wasn't happy with the writing as time went on, and took it down, but years later am still getting requests to put it back up so I guess some people liked it. Newly re-released as I finish some minor editing, there are about 100,000 words (~360 RRL pages) already written, so releases should be fast until I catch up with the backlog. That said, it may languish in hiatus at that point if the interest isn't high enough to merit continuing, so if you're the type to only read finished stories (or ones where the author promises to do so), I am very specifically not promising that. On the other hand, if enough people read, like, review, comment, rate, etc. then it will get added to my writing schedule. Generally, the character is based on a “how badass could someone who hasn't done ridiculously crazy shit be? Or, how does someone with the potential, in another setting, with a lot of luck, to be a badass act and develop as a modern, productive member of society? And then how would they deal with the Naruto-verse?” Please, please do not judge my writing by this. Unless you really like it, in which case fine, do, but recognize my other writing is likely better (unless it’s that one MTG/ASoIaF/SW fic I did over on SB as a speed-writing experiment, which is also pretty terrible).
