So... Its been awhile... Please don't hurt me DX! I'm sorry I haven't been uploading life has just decided to get hectic and I had no time because when I did have time I just took naps! So I'm terribly sorry DX!

The temporarily hospital room was eerily quiet. Moments ago it was filled with life from two teenage youngsters whom were bickering to each other in till the boy had to leave to go watch his team mate. Now there was only Shira whom was laying on her back staring up at the ceiling because the freaking room had no window. Nevertheless, at the moment she didn't mind. While she was staring at the ceiling, she wasn't really. She was thinking back to the conversation with Itachi. She still couldn't understand why he literally decided to show up out of no where, and then give her information that she had no idea what to do with.

"Be weary of sound, they are up to something." Shira quoted Itachi's exact words silently.

"Oh, and how would you know that?" A voice spoke up causing Shira to jump and stare at the intruder to only be met with a familiar face.

"Old man!" Shira exclaimed with a bright smile.

The third Hokage, Hiruzen, decided to ignore the name and pay more attention to what Shira had said moments ago, "And why should we be weary of sound?"

Shira frowned which cause Hiruzen to lift a brow at her action. Shira's blue orbs drifted down to the floor while biting her lip gently wondering if she should tell him about her meeting with Itachi, "Well..." But he could also scold her for allowing a missing nin to just appear and leave on his own free will. She went back to biting her lip having no idea what to do.

Hiruzen watched the girl with a kind smile gracing his lips as he made his way over to her. He sat down on the edge the bed and took out his pipe to smoke, "What are you afraid of?"

Shira's gaze drifted to the third hokage, "That you will scold me."

"Aren't you use to it?"

"Well ya!" Shira exclaimed while throwing her hands in the air as she instantly recalled all the times that she has been scolded... there sure were a lot. "but that's not the point."

"Oh?" Hiruzen turned his gaze to Shira, "And why is that?"

"Because you could really get angry at me... but.. but..." Shira began to fidget on the bed as her gaze drifted to the left and then to right before she looked back at him, "But... you have to understand... I just couldn't... because... because..."

"Shira, what did you do?"

"Well it's not really what I did," Shira laughed slightly while scratching the back of her head, "It's more of what I didn't do?"

"Well then what didn't you do?"

Shira let out a sigh before thinking to herself, 'Might as well get it over with.' She took in a deep breath before finally speaking, "Itachi was here."

Hiruzen eyes immediately went wide in surprise as he exclaimed, "What?!"

Shira flinched taking his tone as anger, "See! I told you would get mad!" Shira began to twiddle her fingers together, "but I just couldn't. He didn't seem threatening, and he really wasn't. In fact, I still don't know why he even showed up."

Hiruzen contemplated her words for a moment. It was true that she was in the wrong for not alerting anyone of his presence, but then again it is surprising that no one else knew he was here. Hiruzen looked at Shira watching her stare at her hands with worry. It was clearly obvious that Shira was telling the truth. "So he told you to be weary of Sound."

Shira nodded, "He said their planning something but he didn't tell me exactly what."

"Hm," Hiruzen looked at the door before letting out a sigh, "This conversation stays between you and me, you understand Shira?"

Shira nodded, "Yes, sir."

Hiruzen stood up from the bed before making his way to the door, "For now, Shira, just worry about the Chunin exams."

Shira watched him leave before she recalled something else, "Wait, sir!"

"Hm?" Hiruzen lifted a brow as he inclined his head toward her.

Shira was debating if she should tell him about the Orochimaru incident, but for some reason she decided not to instead she quickly made an excuse, "I wont' get in trouble for not alerting anyone of Itachi's presence."

"No." The third hokage replied before leaving the room.

Shira stared at the door for a few seconds before letting out a sigh as she flopped back down on her back. This whole day was a mess! Shira grumbled as she turned over onto her side flinching a little from the pain before closing her eyes allowing herself to fall back into a blissful and much needed sleep.

Outside of Konoha Itachi appeared in a clearing and began walking toward his next destination. Soon enough another presence appeared following in step behind Itachi.

The other man, a large blue man whom towered over Itachi adjusted his sword on his back into a much more convenient position as they continued on their way back to base, "What was the point of coming here?"

Itachi didn't bother glancing back as he merely kept walking ahead, "Just visiting."

"Boring." The blue man commented as he glanced back at the village. He was more disappointed in the fact that Itachi wouldn't let him have some fun while he went to go visit some one. Instead he was forced to remain in a tree and only imagine all the destruction he could of done.

If there was one thing the man hated about being paired up with Itachi was the fact that he never got to have any fun at all.

Cold. It was so cold. A feeling she was entirely foreign to. She never felt so cold. Shira rose up to only find she wasn't in her boring hospital room. No, she was in a strange place that was covered in ice. Her blue eyes drifted all around to only see ice miles upon miles and then a large cliff off to one side. Slowly she stood up on her feet and looked down at her body to still see the bandages. A frown began to form upon her lips as she brought her arms together rubbing them greedily.

'So, this is what my opponents felt.' Shira thought to herself as she began to walk toward the cliff.

She paced in front of the cliff studying every single inch of it. She felt like she should somehow notice it but for the life her couldn't think of what this cliff could mean.

"You really don't know where you are?"

Instantly, Shira turned around to only come face to face with a girl who looked so much like her except the girl held the most crazed smile and her eyes seemed to hunger for destruction.

"Who are you?" Shira spoke wearily as she mentally scanned her body trying to find any sort of weapon to use to defend her self.

The girl gave a crazed laugh before going back to an eerie grin, "You really don't know who I am?"

"Wouldn't be asking if I did." Shira grumbled as her gaze drifted side to side.

Suddenly her gaze shot forward to only see the girl standing before her with that same grin. Shira tried to take a step back but her back was pressed against the cliff.

"Well..." The girl spoke as she leaned back a bit, "I think it's pretty obvious... I'm you."

"No, your not." Shira growled out.

The girl just laughed as she took a step back to spin around holding her hands out as if trying to go for a big hug, "Oh, but I am!"

"Your insane..."

The girl chuckled before looking over her shoulder at Shira, "Your right I am. After all I'm you..." The girl spoke before instantly appearing before Shira, "But I am the you that breaks."

"W-what..."

"This power we have its so much!" The girl claiming to be Shira spoke. Shira just watched as the blood lust in the girl's eyes grew more and more, "It will one day drive you toward the brink of insanity." The girl laughed as she turned away from Shira to walk a bit away from her, "It will make you lash out on the one's dear to you."

"Your wrong..." Shira spoke softly.

"Oh but it will happen, and it already had..."

Flashbacks of those two men appeared before Shira causing her to flinch.

The girl just smirked before taking a few more steps, "One body... Two body... three and more and more. Soon everyone will be killed! After all..."

"After all... what?" Shira spoke as she held a hand to her chest fearing for what this woman would say. Shira just couldn't believe her... She wouldn't hurt her love ones... Right?

"Don't you recognize where you are?"

Shira looked around her to only see the cliff and ice for miles, "Um no."

The girl just grinned, "Well, of course not, after all this is what it looks like when you cover it in ice."

"What..." Shira gulped, "What is this place?"

The girl's grin grew even wider if that was possible as she leaned over a bit, "Konoha."

Shira's eyes instantly widen and she saw the girl point down and when Shira looked down she screamed.

"NO!"
