《The Last line of Uchiha》Part 5
Advertisement
My parents come home with my sibling today. It's the first time I'll see them in months. The Acadamy had a training course that all the new Chunin had to attend, so Mom and Dad shipped me away for it. They then went on some road trip. I've had to stay with Uncle Naruto for a while. But let me tell you, that was not fun either. Lady Hinata would constantly look over my shoulder whenever I did school work. I know she is only trying to help, but it's so annoying! She has a child as well, a son, Boruto I think. Uncle Naruto is thrilled, he can't wait to do all the Father son things with him. He's been doing a lot for me these past months, trying to get the 'Father thing' right. I don't mind but it does feel weird.
I'm at home at the moment, pacing in front of the door as I wait for my parents to get back. I'm not exactly excited but, it's out of my control now and there is nothing I can do but try and get along with it. I heard the door click and I stopped, facing it as it opened.
"Hey welcome home." I bow watching my Father enter the house.
I stood straight when he walked toward me. He put his hand on my shoulder before turning to the door. I then watched Mother enter with a white blanket in her arms.
'Oh good lord here we go!' I took a shaky breath.
"Ukie," Mother smiled at me.
'Oh God, oh God, oh God! Please not another son, please be a girl!' I was now slightly bouncing on my feet.
Father squeezed my shoulder before walking me forward slightly toward Mother.
"Meet Sarada, your little sister." Mother smiled.

'Few!' I let the breath I was holding go.
"Do you want to hold her?" Father asked.
I looked back at him before forward to the bundle in my Mother's arms.
"Uh." I shook my head lightly, stepping back.
"She won't bite." Mother chuckled.
"I-I don't want to drop her," I try again.
"You won't," Father said encouragingly.
I slowly extended my arms and Mother put the small human in them. I pulled my arms to my chest before moving the blanket ever so slightly to see my sister's face. She had a thin layer of black hair and her big onyx eyes were staring at me. She opened her mouth and made a 'Ma' noise. I brought my finger up and lightly poked her nose. She stared at me before smiling and giggling softly. I stared at the young girl with a smile, though it wasn't a happy smile.
'Look at you,' I sneer in thought but laugh aloud lightly.
She pulled her arms up and grabbed my finger, bringing it to her mouth and sucking it lightly. My eyes widened and I pulled my finger back. She whined and her eyes teared.
'Pathetic!' I smiled. _______________________________________________________________________________
"What's her name?" Minka asked.
"Sarada." I deadpan.
"Is she cute? I bet she looks just like you!" Minka cheered smiling.
I looked at the brunette.
"Yeah, I guess. But she looks more like my dad." I say kicking rocks into the lake.
"You look like your dad! You're his son after all!" Minka laughed.
Minka grabbed my arm, pulling my hand into her own and staring up at me.
"Can I see her!? Please!" She looked up at me.
I stared down at her in slight shock, but closed my eyes and smiled.

"Sure," I say.
"Yes!" She jumped around.
"Hey, what's all the excitement?" Yuto asked jumping down from a tree.
"Ukai's gonna show me his sister!" Minka cheered jumping around.
"You have a sister?" Yuto raised an eyebrow at me.
"Yeah, she's only a couple of days old though," I say.
"Oh, a baby sister!" Yuto clapped my back.
'Yeah, whatever!'
"Come on, I'll show her to you."
Minka squealed excitedly while Yuto just nodded.
So we walked to my house and entered, greeting my parents before I went upstairs to Sarada's room. She was asleep when I saw her, but with a light poke, she was wide awake.
"Hey," I poked her forehead.
She smiled, raising her hands and giggling. I picked her up and she smiled, grabbing my nose before giggling again. I pulled her hand away from my face before heading back downstairs. I could hear Mother and Minka talking before I came into view.
"Oh, sweet cheese and sprinkles she is so precious!" Minka gasped covering her mouth.
I smiled at Minka, looking at my sister as she hid in my neck. She whined quietly turning away from my friends.
"Oh sweety I'm sorry, did I scare her?" Minka frowned.
"No, she's just shy." Mother smiled.
I bounced Sarada a little before she turned to my friends again. She looked at Minka and tilted her head. Minka smiled and waved lightly. Sarada smiled and stretched her arms out to Minka. Minka smiled wider and took the child from me. She looked so happy. Yuto stood behind Minka and stuck his tongue out at Sarada. Sarada copied him, sticking hers out before grabbing his nose.
"Ah, she got me!" Yuto laughed.
Minka laughed too, stroking Sarada's hair and bouncing her lightly. Sarada let go of Yuto and looked up at Minka. She smiled at grabbed a strand of Minka's hair. She played with it before putting it in her mouth.
"Sarada!" Mother laughed.
"It's ok Mrs. Uchiha, I don't mind." Minka smiled, stroking Sarada's cheek.
"See, she is just like you Ukai." Minka smiled at me.
Her eyes sparkled as she looked from Sarada to me. She smiled at me from under her hair and looked up at me through her eyelashes.
'Why is she looking at me like that?'
I turned to Yuto to see him playing hide and seek with Sarada over Minka's shoulder. I turned to my Mother and she had a big smirk on her face as she looked from Minka to me.
"No, she's not!" I exclaim turning away.
I heard Minka and Yuto laugh before Sarada laughed. Father then walked in, sighing and running his hand through his hair.
"Father!" I bowed my head quickly, turning to face him.
"Mr. Uchiha!" Both Yuto and Minka bowed.
"Mr. Samari. Ms. Yokota," Father nodded at both my friends.
"Uhhh, it's getting late. I need to head home." Minka smiled nervously, handing Sarada over to Mother.
"Ah yeah me too," Yuto said before both of them bowed, dashed out the door and down the street.
"Ahhhhh..." I draw watching my friends disappear before turning to my parents.
"Do you need to scare Ukai's friends off Sasuke?" Mother looked at Father.
"Hmm? I didn't mean to." Father said.
"It's ok," I chuckle.

Galactic Economics
Humanity enters the galaxy and makes First Contact, only to begin to realize that not everything is at it seems. It appears that the galactic alien community has forgotten to invent some rather important economic concepts that human civilization has taken for granted. This is a look at a hypothetical galactic scale barter economy, how that would work, or how as one of our main characters Sarah realizes... it doesn't. And as the galaxy falls apart at the seams, it's up to the best and brightest in humanity to put things back together. Story contains a lot about markets, logistics, development, and the best and worst of human history. Not so much Space Marines nuking aliens. If you enjoyed the trade negotiations and Senate politics in the Star Wars prequels, and wished that there was an entire standalone story consisting solely of those parts, this might be for you! Galactic Economics is also posted on reddit here.

Flashback: Siren Song
The year is 1969. Yancy Lazarus—bluesman, gambler, future world-class mage and fix-it man—is just a dumb, unlucky kid serving with the 3rd Battalion 3rd Marines in Vietnam.With just a few weeks left to go until Yancy gets shipped back to the States, he’s just trying to keep his head down and avoid a body bag—no mean feat in Nam. But when his squad is tasked with conducting a routine patrol deep in enemy territory, everything goes to nine kinds of hell, and he quickly sees his chances at survival slipping away.When the radio operators start to pick up some funky, dirty ol’ blues all the way out in the backcountry, it’s a nice change of pace. At least until the men in Yancy’s squad start losing their minds, turning on each other with murderous intent as the music works its deadly power within them. Convinced it’s some kind of new psychological warfare initiative, the squad leader forces the men to push deeper and deeper into the Vietnamese jungle, obsessed with locating the music’s source. What they find, however, isn’t some new technology, but an ancient spirit awoken by the terrible war. Even worse, the music is changing Yancy too, awakening something buried inside of him. Only one thing is certain, nothing is ever going to be the same.See how it all began … *** PRAISE FOR SIREN SONG:Hunter's writing is as low-down, gritty, and insidious as the blues Yancy Lazarus loves. Just like the mysterious music drifting through the jungle toward Yancy's squad, Siren Song will get under your skin and sink its hooks into your mind. —eden Hudson, Author of Halo Bound (the Redneck Apocalypse series) *** Hey everyone, this is James Hunter. This story isn't a full length novel--its a novella length work (25K words), and is part of my Yancy Lazarus series. Its already free on Amazon, so I thought I'd post chapters here for the good folks of Royal Road.
