The room had seemed to get a lot colder. The ice chill had run up and down Sakura's spine the moment Itachi revealed to her who the person was that took her. Her back leaned against the wall so she could sit face to face with the man that had healed her. The reason why was still unknown, but she figured he would tell her possibly very soon. She gulped a couple of times, the onyx hues seething with darkness behind his calmness burned holes into Sakura's soul. She thinks he could not be normal, because no normal person can have such darkness with eyes alone. Itachi wonders if this girl will be able to handle such information, but he was never one to let things go unfinished. He had already told her a lot so far, and he was fully intending to tell her the entire story. He closed his eyes a second later, drawing out the memories of that time, memories that he had hoped he would never have to reopen again.

"Older…brother?" Sakura asked confused. She had paused between words, and her jade eyes narrowed. There was no way that was impossible Sakura had always been an only child. Just thinking about having an older brother was absolutely preposterous. Surly her mother would have let her know that she had a sibling somewhere out there in the world. Her mother was never one to lie to her, and her mother was surly not the kind of woman that would keep something so important away from her. She looked at Itachi and waited for him to say something, but he just sat there with his eyes closed. She thinks he must be a liar if he was thinking of something to tell her.

"That's impossible. I'm an only child; my mother told me that before her and my father could have another child he was killed. You don't know my family, and you don't know me. Who do you think you are? Huh? Telling me all this bullshit crap, my mother is not a liar. She would never keep something like that away from me. She would never allow someone to take me." She stopped talking the moment Itachi reopened his eyes. Her heart literally shaking, her eyes widen with extreme fear for what she was now looking at. Blood red eyes, black comas forming together into what looked like pinwheels where the pupil would be. The bone shaking stare had Sakura gasping for air at what she was witnessing. It was as if he was strangling her with those eyes alone. Death by a stare, she was being robbed of her breath.

"I will take you back…back into the time where everything changed your life." Itachi spoke, his fingers clasping together over his right knee cap. He leaned forward smirking at Sakura's reaction; he could practically smell the fear pouring out her tiny body. His right hand went up to gently touch her right cheek, and he was lost in the moment for a just a short while when he felt her body tremble. Trembling with fear, fear that he had not once seen in such a long time. Sure he had seen fear in other people during his time of traveling, but this type of fear- fear that begged for life as if he would take with just his fingertips alone- fear that begged for just one more breath- fear that begged to be free- and the fear of witnessing what the truth really was, that was the type of fear he witnessed in just this girl all at the same time.

"My family" He began. "We have been given a special gift that very few could be able to have. With these eyes we have the power to destroy. These eyes give us the ability to shatter the mind of person, create fire that will never burn out, the ability to torture a person from the inside out…and…to let a person of our choosing go back in spirit to see what the past was really like." He finished, but before Sakura could utter a single word, Itachi's eyes began to spin. She couldn't take her eyes off of his, and within another second, and another spin of his eyes Sakura was embraced by pure darkness. She felt herself being pulled in by something, a dark vortex dragging her soul somewhere in the unknown. She was falling, falling fast letting out a painful scream until she opened her eyes. Welcomed by a town she hadn't seen before, the rainy day, the dark black sky, and people running all over the place. They ran for shelter, but from where she stood it had seemed that no one was able to see her. She looked all around until a boy standing by an older red haired female holding a small baby caught her attention. The boy's eyes were the same color as hers but his hair was dark brown. They walked hand in hand as if the pounding rain never bothered them.

"That's…my mother…but who is that…that boy?"

LEGACY OF THE UCHIHA

CLAN MAFIA:

CHAPTER I

If one day you see me see you

Will you ever tell me the truth?

Or will someone else tell me about my roots?

"Come now Kiyu try to hurry a bit, don't want to keep your father waiting." Amaya spoke tenderly, her right hand held her baby close to her. Her young infant was covered to protect her from the rain, but Amaya wanted to get out of the rain as soon as possible. Her jade eyes looked to her young eleven year old son before turning her eyes back to watch where she was going. The rain never bothered the people in her family, so walking in it was nothing; because of how well they take care of their bodies falling ill was high non-possibility. However, with the baby in her hands, she didn't want to take the chance of her baby falling ill. Kiyu remained silent as he was never one to talk that much, but like his mother had ordered he walked in a quicker pace until finally they arrived at the Haruno manor.

"Saoshi we are finally back." Amaya spoke out loud. As costumed in the household she removed her shoes, as well as Kiyu following the same as his mother. She walked side by side with her son around the house, but found that her husband was nowhere to be found. Sadly she looked down, and knew just where he would be. She never was a woman that loved violence, and she never did take lightly to the job Saoshi did…does. She knew he will one day bring his son into their world, a world she wished to never have her son be a part of. But she knew, she knew what he would do to Kiyu when she wasn't around. Kiyu was a gifted young boy; both parents knew that, ever since he was at the age of four he started building little 'weapons'. A few minutes had passed, the sound of a car pulling into the driveway caught Amaya's attention. Her eyes narrowed and immediately turned to her son, handing her baby to him.

"Take Sakura to her room would you Kiyu…your father is about to come in. I would like to talk some things over with him. Don't come down for the rest of the night." Kiyu felt the order from his mother, nodded, and proceeded up the stairs with his baby sister in his arms. Amaya watched with loving eyes as her son did as he was told with no objections. Pleased to hear the sounding of the bedroom door closing Amaya turned to walk over where the entrance of the house was. Her hands crossed across her chest, and her jade eyes narrowed as she stood her ground waiting for her husband to enter. She watched through the window, watching with studying eyes her husband freshing himself up. Fixing his hair, and looking around his neck for what she guessed for any marks.

"Where were you Saoshi?" Amaya asked the moment her husband had stepped through the door. He must have been surprised due to the look he was giving her. Surprised black eyes, his mouth parted just a bit, and the sudden stiffness his body went through told all that Amaya needed to know. Her foot tapped the wooden floor waiting for her husband to give her an explanation. Tap-tap-tap Her eyes pierced through his, and finally Saoshi just gave her a 'hmph' type of sound before closing the door behind him. He took a step forward and Amaya's face twisted in disgust at the smell coming from him.

"You smell like her Saoshi." She spoke louder, and Saoshi turned his face to look at her. His eyes soften and he let out a small chuckle. From where he stood he leaned over so his right shoulder was leaning against the wall. Amaya always knew Saoshi was a gentle person towards her, he was never one to show violence towards a woman if he didn't have a reason. However, Amaya was never the type of woman that liked to share what was supposed to be hers and hers alone. She waited for Saoshi to speak for he had not even said a word to her since the moment he had walked in. And unknown to them Kiyu was listening in on the whole conversation.

"So what, what are you going to do Amaya? Ha-ha Leave me? Come on now, you and I both know you can't leave me. I'm one of the leaders in the Uchiha Mafia, I'm a powerful man my dear wife." Saoshi finally spoke. Darkness dripping with every word being spoken, and yet Amaya held her ground. Her eyes narrowed, and in secret her heart was breaking. Breaking because even though she knew- knew that behind another door that was closed off to her, she knew what her husband was doing behind her back. She knew of the killings, the creation of drugs, and money being brought in- but to admit to something so treacherous broke her heart.

"I don't care how much power you have Saoshi. You are supposed to be my husband, not a cheating dog. I had enough of you Saoshi. I had more than enough. I thought I was being a good wife, taking care of your children, putting up with all the killing you do, and the drugs you would create…but…but this I can't forgive. Cheating- you committed a crime, and you know adultery cannot so easily be over looked." Amaya tried her hardest to fight back the tears that were welling up in her eyes, but feeling of a hand being pressed against her cheek nearly made her heart stop. She wouldn't deny that his touch sent her over the edge, she had loved him, but he was breaking her, breaking her down now with that very same touch. She cried into that hand of his because she knew that hand, the hand that would touch her so lovingly, the hand the sent her to cloud nine, was also the same hand that was going to destroy her. Destroy everything with his hands alone, crushing her from the inside out, only because he used those hands of his to touch that woman- a woman that was not her.

"Have I hurt you Amaya?" He asked. She thinks he should know better than to ask stupid meaningless questions. She slapped the hand away from her face, and took a few steps back from her husband. She breathed in some air before walking back up to him. She met him face to face, one inch apart, and Saoshi saw in her eyes everything that he had done to her. He had never once hit her, but he knew he killed the beauty that she once had with his actions alone. No he didn't hurt her he thought. He can't hurt what was already broken. Saoshi closed his eyes, both hands going to her shoulders and he begged. Begged her for forgiveness, all Amaya could do was stand firm while her husband sink to the ground. His hands at her waist silently pleading her, but Amaya didn't say a word.

"For every action a person does my dear Sao." Amaya began softly. Her eyes looking at the top of his head with gently eyes, her hands went up to pat his hair while still speaking. "There are dire consequences; we are human-humans make mistakes." She continued on, her fingers weaving through his hair, and Saoshi honestly believed that Amaya was going to forgive him, the small light of hope rushing through his veins. He held her tightly until Amaya's left finger went under his chin and moving it up so his face can look up at her. She wore the expression of sadness, her left hand moving to cup his left cheek, her thumb massaging the line of his jaw softly. Even though he begged, she knew he would go back and do it again if he wanted to.

"And as humans we can only forgive those mistakes right?" She smiled, and Saoshi smile back her, his eyes telling her she was right, however the smile faded from his face the moment he saw her eyes darken. "However, you should know I'm not that much of a forgiver. Kiyu and I just returned from Lawyer Yang's office not too long ago…you'll find the divorce papers in the kitchen. I suggest you make yourself comfortable down here Saoshi; I don't want another woman's smell on my bed. Don't worry I had the mattress changed earlier today just in case you had taken someone else on our bed. I expect the papers signed by tomorrow." Amaya pulled herself away from her husband's grasp, but not a moment later she was pulled back to him when he grasped her right wrist roughly. She turned to look at him with fearful eyes before snatching her hand back.

"I won't let you." He hissed. "You are mine, what makes you think I'll let you just let you walk out of this house, just like this eh Amaya? I mean we both know you love me and think about the kids!" He yelled.

"No. I will leave, I'll find a new love, because you are not worth my love, and think about the kids? You dare bring Kiyu and Sakura into this? You are the one that messed things up Saoshi! We had a chance, a chance at a normal happy life together. Fugaku gave you a choice. He gave you an opportunity to leave the organization to live a life with me for saving his older son and you refused to leave! So don't tell me to think about the kids. I thought of both of their lives, and I fear for Kiyu because I know you'll drag him into the organization as well. You are such a cruel man Saoshi….such a cruel man…why can't you just do this for me." Amaya took in another huge amount of air; she turned her head to look up at the stair way where Kiyu and Sakura's room was at before turning back to face her husband.

"I know what you and Kiyu would do when I'm not around. You already began training him to be a part of that organization ever since he was little boy, have you no shame? To do that to your only son…Kiyu's chance of a normal life is already long gone, but Sakura still has a chance to live normally and fall in love with normal man." Amaya looked down and hugged herself. "I tell you what sign the divorce papers and I'll let you take Kiyu, and I'll take Sakura. However, you will never be able to see her ever again. It's time you wake up Saoshi, you made your bed go ahead a lay in it…but it seems to me you already fucked a woman in that bed you made." And with the last sentence spoken Amaya turned away and began walking towards the stair case. Upon hearing his mother's footsteps Kiyu turned in haste and rushed back into the room where his baby sister was.

Silently yes oh so slowly he closed the white door. He inwardly prayed that his mother didn't know that he was there watching everything. When he caught his breath and was able to calm himself back down he walked up to the pink crib that held his wide awake baby sister. Her baby green eyes looked at him, her tiny baby hands went up trying to reach for him, and he gave in giving her his hand. His mouth formed into a grim line, his eyes darkened when her small tiny fingers curled around his left finger. He thinks she was to blame for the soon to be separation of his family. His stomach twisted in disgust when he heard the small gurgle of laughter coming from his baby sister. He inwardly bit his lip when he felt a cool wet feeling around his finger, and roughly pulled his hand away. He thinks she was disgusting for putting his finger in her mouth.

"She's a playful little thing isn't she Kiyu" The sound of his mother's voice had caught him off guard. He immediately moved away from the crib when he saw his mother's face from over his left shoulder. He stood there for a moment watching his mother. He watched his mother, watching his baby sister, and it made him sick. His fingers curled in adding pressure to the nails that were clawing into his skin. Amaya's left hand went into her baby's crib gently running her hand in circular motions around Sakura's baby belly.

"I know you were listening Kiyu." The gasp from Kiyu was heard, and he turned his face downward trying to hide the fact that he was ashamed. He felt his mother's hands on his shoulders, when he looked up he was met face to face with his mother. Her hand went up to his hair and ruffled his shaggy hair earning her mother a small laugh from her son. She needed her son to know that he was not at fault for what was happening between his parents. However, she felt at fault for what was going to happen to her son. She would never wish that life for her son, but maybe just maybe her son would not live such a life. The life full of violence, and darkness, she brought both of her hands around her son and pulled him to a big embrace.

"I am so proud of you my son. As a mother you couldn't have made me anymore prouder. You are not at fault so don't blame yourself or Sakura." She knew that this was the only way. As a mother she had to do what she thought was right. Kiyu was eleven years old, she raised him well. However, she knew what his father was doing to him as well. And she knew that if she couldn't save her son, then she would at least try to save her daughter. Keeping Sakura away from her father and the works of that organization would be the best thing, but keeping her away from her older brother…she didn't know if that was a wise choice. She had wished she had gone up against her father and married someone else instead of Saoshi. She loved Saoshi yes, but she could have learned to love someone else, but she was merely an eighteen year old girl when she married Saoshi. She didn't know any better, having a son at the age of nineteen, and a baby girl at the age of twenty-nine proved even more just how foolish she was.

"Then why are you and father getting a divorce mother." Kiyu asked.

"You must understand Kiyu, what your father does for a living is evil. I pray Kiyu; I beg of you please, please don't fall like your father did. Don't let your heart sink into the darkness, for the sake of your wellbeing and future, don't destroy your life." She looked her son dead on in the eye and it was then that her son knew instantly what Amaya was telling him. He could only nod.

"Then why not let me leave with you mother? If you are so concerned with my well being, and future why not take me with you instead of me leaving with father?" It was an honest question; he loved his mother more than he loved his father. His mother always gave him affection whereas his father always beat him, and forced him to learn the ways of creating drugs, and becoming strong. His mother was right though, his father was an evil man. He wouldn't want to live the life like his father, but he knew that if he had to leave with his father he wouldn't have a choice. He looked at his mother with pleading eyes, but he knew his mother would not be the one to take him when he saw his mother close his eyes.

"Forgive me Kiyu, but I won't be able to. One day Kiyu, one day I'll let you come and see me and your sister. I want you in her life, but you must not let her know who you are. Keep her away from the claws of the organization. You must protect her Kiyu it's you're responsibly as an older brother…and if you find that you cannot forgive me then forgive your sister for she had done nothing wrong." He felt his mother lean in and give him a gentle kiss on the forehead. He was met with a sad expression from his mother, and Kiyu couldn't help but feel the strong sting of betrayal the following day when saw his mother walk out the door.

His mother's scent still filled his parent's bedroom. His father was not there in the morning; his father was never there in the mornings. The only thing that was there were the documents his mother gave his father late last night. He was surprised to find early that moment that his father had signed the divorce papers, and the smiling face of his mother. He never knew that his mother could have such an expression on her face. It was a look that told him she had received her freedom, and how he inwardly wished he could at least have a small taste of that freedom. However, the moment he saw the glowing figure of his mother's back as she walked out that door, he knew he would never be able to feel it.

Live well my son…live to your own expectations. Don't follow their way of life, grow strong and when you do break free…I know you'll be able to spread those wings of yours and obtain your freedom. I will always love you Kiyu, my precious little boy…

We are out in the open

Maybe we will kill you

But maybe I won't

"Ne Itachi, I think the girl had enough don't you think?"Kisame had walked in and was met with a site he wasn't expecting. In front of him sat the dull body of the pink haired girl, who was just not moments a go awake talking. Though he was not present in the room at the time, but he heard through the closed door that they were talking. Kisame knew-he knew all too well what Itachi was going to do to the girl once he had told her about the power of his eyes. Kisame was also fully aware that Itachi was breaking the rules that were set years ago. The rule that was ordered to all to never speak of what happened- the incident that divided the Mafia into four deadly gangs. When he figured it was time to walk in, Kisame took it upon himself to enter the room.

"She needs to know everything. Kiyu was a fool, so were their parents. I knew the day I met that foolish wife of Saoshi I should have killed her from where she stood." Kisame grinned when he heard Itachi reply, it was the longest sentence he heard from Itachi in a long time. He took a seat on the far corner of the bed and looked at the dazed girl. Her eyes were wide open but he could clearly see that by look of her dull eyes she wasn't even there at all. Kisame released a chuckled and turned his face back to look at Itachi who stared at him with those red eyes of his. A small 'hn' sound was heard from Itachi when he saw the smug look Kisame gave him.

"I think you would like to know Itachi, your little brother is on his way."

"Is he now?" Itachi replied coldly, the amused smirk was not missed. Itachi thinks it would be rather interesting to see his little brother's reaction when he realizes that he is not dead. He gave a dark small chuckle when he could practically hear the protest of his little brother. Itachi thinks that his foolish little brother will demand an explanation as to why he faked his death, an explanation Itachi was not willing to give his little brother. For he knew that if he told Sasuke the real truth as to why he left and faked his death, his little brother will never forgive him. He did care for his little brother, but he was not about to let anyone find out. He gave Sasuke a semi hard time, but he always did it for his little brother's well being, and to also prepare him to take over the organization.

"Yeah, Deidara found him trailing with the mutt guy; you know the one eh Itachi the freak that has dog like senses?" Kisame replied.

"Hmm Kiba, interesting…I hear that Inzuka's abilities have grown stronger since we last seen him Kisame. Where did Deidara spot them?"

"A mile near the border of Tokyo, but for all we know by now they could be outside of Tokyo and near us."

"Take care of them will you Kisame, take Sasori with you" Before Kisame could even make another move Itachi continued speaking. "However, Kisame I want Sasuke to remain alive. Do what you have to do to keep him off our trail. Deidara and I will move the girl into a secure location, it's time Sasuke learns not to be so foolish and not disobey any orders." Itachi for the first time stood up from his chair and walked over to a nearby window. Deidara's room was located in an area of the room where it faces outside of the cave they hid in. The sinister smirk on his face was hidden from Kisame's view, but Itachi thinks that it would be fun to drown in the sensation of punishing his little brother. Even though Itachi loved his brother, he was still older, and like every other brother he still liked to mess with his little brother's head.

"Do it now Kisame, there won't be time left if Inzuka is trailing her scent." With the order being said and a small chuckle from Kisame he disappeared. Itachi stood still near the window watching with narrowed eyes Kisame and Sasori rushing out of the cave. He gave a small curse sound, but he allowed a small smirk to reveal on his face. He thinks it was about time his foolish little brother caught on, and Itachi thinks that it wouldn't be long for the next world war to ascend. His lips thinned into a frown when he turned back to Sakura, his red eyes piercing through what he wished could be her spirit but her body was just a shell for now. He wondered if he should bring her back now or not, but he wasn't sure how far along in the past she was in.

"Deidara" He called deciding to leave her as she was now until he moved her into another location where surely Sasuke and his dog pall wouldn't be able to find her so quickly. It didn't take a second later for Deidara to enter their-his room. He walked in with angry blue eyes- of course he would still be mad, after all it was his room that was taken away without his knowledge. His arms crossed over his chest glaring at the Uchiha male, and waiting for an explanation as to why he was called during his meal time.

Itachi turned from the window and faced Deidara's direction, he knew Deidara was still upset, and he knew Deidara was going to be even angrier when he finds out they have to relocate.

"Pack what you can Deidara were moving out."

The nightmare is just beginning

You know that feeling?

We are out for the killing

"Kiba how much further out are we?" Sasuke ordered, he wants Sakura back, he wants her back now, but he doesn't know. He doesn't know where she is, and he doesn't know if she is safe, and he certainly doesn't know if she's alive. He wants to see- wants to see with both of his eyes. With his own eyes he wants to know if she's dead. And if she was; if she was dead Sasuke will start a war. He will destroy the world- because he will feel that the world betrayed him. If she was alive though, he might reconsider, reconsider starting the war- because then the world might have just a little bit more hope left. His eyes narrowed, narrowed in when Kiba didn't answer. He turned to look but he saw that both Kiba and his pup were focusing- focusing on her scent.

"It's getting stronger." Was all Kiba said, stronger but Sasuke wondered if they were close. He wants to know but left his question silent. Kiba knew-he knew that Sasuke was becoming impatient; he knew that they were getting closer to her, but something else caught his attention. The smell of two other people heading their way, and his dog that was right beside him began to bark uncontrollably. Kiba smirked they both knew- knew that they were going to meet these people soon, but Sasuke-Sasuke doesn't know. Kiba knows that Sasuke will be enraged if anyone stands in their way- Sasuke will spill blood. Sasuke- Sasuke will turn into the beast that everyone on Earth will wish to God that they can die already so they don't have to witness Sasuke's terrible rampage. Because Sasuke- Sasuke is worse than the Sabaku, Sasuke- he won't stop. He never stops once he's enraged, because Sasuke is different. And Kiba knows- he knows that the only one that can prevent Sasuke from reaching the height of his Anger would be that girl, that girl that is missing. And Kiba curses- he curses because those people are closing in rather fast.

"Sasuke…we have company." And Kiba begins to tremble- he trembles because the dark, sinister, ice cold, demonic like smirk suddenly appeared. His eyes turned to blood red, his eyes remind Kiba of his older brother, the brother that Sasuke lost. Kiba's bones began to shake and his pup began to shake- shake because they felt it, they felt Sasuke cold dark aura. Sasuke thinks- he needs to let go of some steam. He needs this, he needs to kill something. Sasuke's hands curl into fist and he releases a dark laugh. He laughs? At a time like this, he laughs? Kiba thinks Sasuke is scary- scary and Kiba doesn't scare easily. Kiba knows- he wishes- he wishes that Sasuke would have obeyed orders and stayed away, he should have stayed away from that girl like everyone was ordered. He had to disobey- because Sasuke isn't one to follow orders, he never follows orders. That's why he's foolish, so foolish because he never listens.

"Who's coming?" Sasuke asks with a smirk on his face. He asks hoping that these people will at least put up a challenge. He wants a challenge- he wants to fight. Because Sasuke hadn't fought anyone in awhile, and he wants to- wants not a spar, but a real fight. A fight to the death, yes to the death because Sasuke wants to feel alive again. His stomach was twisting in excitement, he will get it-get what he wants, even if those people won't want it- 'it' being death. Sasuke wants to feel alive- alive because he lost himself in the moment. The moment- yes it was in that moment, the moment he looked down that cliff. The cliff where Sakura fell off of, but Sasuke doesn't know- he doesn't know that Sakura willingly jumped off. And Sasuke will never know that Sakura jumped off to protect him, protect him from getting hurt. And Sasuke will never know that Sakura secretly wanted him to stay alive, that was what Sasuke will never know.

"Two, and there coming at us every fast." Kiba told him. His senses kicked in, Sakura was close. She was very close, but why? Why is her scent moving? Why is her scent moving fast? And why, why were there two other scents near hers? This is bad, really bad. He wonders, if Sakura is awake why is she moving. Where is she going, and with who? All the questions rolling in his head were unanswered, but Kiba wonders, he wonders if he should tell Sasuke. Because Sasuke deserves to know, but Kiba stays silent, he doesn't tell Sasuke, because Kiba doesn't know for sure if she is awake or if she unconscious. The bark heard from the pup was heard and Kiba inwardly curses, telling his pup to shut up in his head, but Sasuke's eyes narrow. They narrow when he saw the change in expression in Kiba's face, and he thinks that Kiba might know something, something that he isn't telling him. They stop, their feet hitting the ground, dirt going everywhere. Kiba curses, his dog barks, and Sasuke smirks and lets out a laugh. They had come- come out of nowhere, Kiba curses because he was focusing on Sakura's scent when he should have been focusing on how close those people were.

They looked at each other. Two against two- well two against three if they counted the pup. Sasuke's eyes narrowed dangerously, he knows those two. By the look those people were giving Sasuke and Kiba those people knew them too. Kiba thinks he must be a fool, because the scent smelt so familiar and yet he dismissed it. Dismissed the fact that he knew the smell, because it's been far too long, and he thought they were dead. Dead along with Sasuke's older brother back when they had their first war, but why? Why are they here? And Kiba wonders if they are alive maybe just maybe Itachi was alive as well, but that impossible because Sasuke- Sasuke witnessed Itachi die. Sasuke had Itachi's blood on him; Itachi had died when Sasuke was thirteen. Itachi had died seven years ago, so it impossible…Itachi can't be alive, so why are these two alive? Kiba doesn't understand, and by the look Sasuke had, he too can't believe it.

"Kisame, Sasori…why are you alive?" Sasuke asked. He asked in a deadly tone. He was confused he was sure that Kisame and Sasori were dead. Died in the war, so how? They chuckled. Kisame chuckled, and Sasori remained passive. Sasori dressed himself in brown loose pants, with a black cut up shirt; his black coat with red clouds covered his whole body though. It's hot out, so hot so why were a coat? But Sasuke doesn't care, he wants to know, but they didn't answer. Kisame dressed the same as Sasori, but his blue skin and shark like face was something that Kiba was still not used to. They looked at each other, Kisame looking amused at Sasuke, Kiba staring Sasori down trying to get answers. But no answers, there were no talking after Sasuke voiced his question, but a moment later. After a few hot gushes of wind they spoke.

"Are you surprised little Sasu?" Sasuke cursed and spatted at the nickname Kisame gave him. He never liked that nickname, never. The nickname his mother gave him, she was the only one to call him that, the only one. But Sasuke's mother is gone- died- she died a month after meeting Sakura, and Sasuke changed once again. Tension grew between the two- soon to be four. Kiba thinks this was going to get ugly, so ugly and he wished he never went to Sasuke. But Kiba thinks it's a good thing, it'll be good to get some fighting in. Sasuke got in his fighting stance, Kiba followed suit, Kisame and Sasori stood tall. They think- know that Sasuke and his little dog friend were no threat to them. No threat because according to Itachi, Sasuke was foolish, and Sasuke acts without thinking things threw. So they know- they know that this was going be easy, but they had orders. Orders not to kill them, well Sasuke, but they think they'll let Sasuke's little dog friend live. Kisame looks at Sasori, and Sasori looks to Kisame nodding at each other, but they still stand tall. Sasuke thinks they are mocking him, and his anger grows.

"I saw you die." Sasuke suddenly said from his stance, the wind was circling around them. Kiba knows- he knows Sasuke was going to charge. He curses because he believes that Sasuke's actions of not thinking things threw was going to get them killed- Killed, because if Kisame and Sasori were still strong or stronger than they were those years ago, they were in trouble. But Kiba was still in his stance, he wants to fight, but he doesn't want to die, he wants to talk to Sasuke to discuss a strategy, but it was already too late- too late because Sasuke already charged. He charged at Kisame, throwing a kick to Kisame's left side, but Kisame blocked it with ease. To easy- way too easy, and Kisame laughs, laughs because Itachi was right. Kisame thinks it's time Sasuke learns a lesson, to think things through, so he throws a punch, but Sasuke blocks it. Sasori looks at Kiba, and Kiba looks at Sasori. They were having a stare down- a stare down to see, who will charge first, but neither is moving; neither is fighting just yet. They are both thinking who will charge first. Kiba looked to his side to see his pup gone, he was gone where did his dog go? He looked left and right, but then he saw- he saw behind Sasori there was his pup. His best friend, jump and tackle Sasori on his neck. Sasori caught off guard was bit, he was bit, his pup had done it, he got Sasori and he wasn't letting go.

"Way to go Akamaru!" Kiba cheered running towards a distracted Sasori, and Akamaru jumped off once Kiba approached. Sasori ducked before Kiba could land his attack, but Sasori turned to the dog that attacked him, his right hand going behind his neck. Sasori's face twisted in anger, he was bleeding- red- blood- blood that was his, beautiful blood, red- it was his, his blood and Sasori wanted revenge. He wasn't going to kill them, but now he wants to- for making him bleed, he would skin them. Yes he would skin them and make them into his toys. Yes toys, because Sasori loved to make puppets- real life puppets, and then he will burn them, and Sasori wanted it- wanted to see them burn after he recreates them. But Akamaru was already back on Kiba's head before Sasori approached him. Sasori charged, but Kiba also charged, their fist collided, force on force, and Kiba cursed when Sasori lifted his right leg and kicked up. Kicked up and his kick landed on Kiba's stomach, Sasori smirked not letting go of Kiba- he kicked again but this time he flipped Kiba over his head.

"Never believe what you see little Sasu." Kisame said blocking Sasuke's punches. Sasuke was growing impatient- so impatient. He saw what he saw, and the bastard was telling him his eyes were wrong? He saw Kisame die- he saw, yes he saw with his own eyes a bullet going through his heart and leaving the back of his body. He saw him cry out and breathe his last breath. Sasuke charged, but Kisame blocked and moved to the left. Sasuke thinks that Kisame was toying with him, and Sasuke bites his lip- he doesn't like it, he doesn't like being toyed with. Kisame gave a small laugh, dodged Sasuke's back kick and smirked when he landed a hard punch on Sasuke's stomach. Yes he was ordered not to kill Sasuke, but Itachi said nothing about beating Sasuke- beating Sasuke hard, just to leave him alive, yes alive. He will leave Sasuke alive alright, but he will have fun, have fun beating Sasuke till he couldn't move.

"I saw the bullet go through your body! You can't be alive!" Sasuke proclaims. They jumped further apart from each other, a rather good distance to catch their breath. Sasuke breathed in-out-in-out; his hand went up to wipe the small trail of blood off of his mouth, and smirks. Kisame stood tall, he was un-phased and he loved it, loved the stare Sasuke was giving him. Uchiha's have pride, and Uchiha's don't like to lose, and Sasuke was losing, because he was unsuccessful in landing a punch to Kisame. Sasuke charged once again, and Kisame shook his head, he thinks Sasuke will never learn. Kisame wonders just what will Itachi's reaction be when he tells Itachi that Sasuke still reacts the same. Always the same, always acting before thinking things threw. Kisame wonders why Itachi left the organization to the likes of someone so sad like Sasuke, someone foolish- someone weak, so weak. –Punch-kick- punch-kick- doge. Kisame was punched, he was kicked, but he dodged the next attack but laughs. Finally- finally Sasuke gets a good hit in this little dance of theirs. But Kisame is playing- always playing never being serious; he was never serious unless fighting Itachi.

"But I am Sasu" He replied in amusement, but time was wasting. They needed to get going soon, really soon. Back to the base- the new base. Kisame curses when his pocket began to ring, and he knew- he knew who was calling. He knew that Itachi was going to nag on him- nag him for playing around. They jump again further from each other, and Kisame looks at Sasori who looks at him. Both knowing that they have to end this, and end it now. Sasori curses- he curses because he won't be able to get rid of Kiba and make him his toy, so he charges at full speed. Charges and catches Kiba and his little dog off guard, hitting him behind his neck hard enough to knock him out. Kiba lets out a gasp before falling to the ground unconscious, his dog followed suit. Sasori stands tall and smirks, it was easy to easy they were of no threat. He looks over to Kisame and watches with mild interest- watches Kisame blocking Sasuke's attack, and Sasuke blocking Kisame's. He was growing bored, so Sasori stepped in and appeared behind Sasuke hitting him in the same spot he hit Kiba. Everything paused the moment Sasuke fell to the floor.

"What the hell Sasori? I didn't need your help!" Kisame was pissed- so pissed because Sasori finished off Sasuke.

"Were wasting time, we need to go Itachi is expecting us soon." So they left, but Kisame kept bitching at Sasori all the way back to where Itachi and Deidara were at.

"Where are we Itachi?" Deidara asked he was panting, they were running. Running for hours- running fast, so fast, faster than they ever had, and Deidara wondered how was it possible that Itachi wasn't even out of breath. They stopped somewhere, but Deidara didn't know where, they had ran over water, and traveled through some forest, but where? Where were they?

"Ogasawara, it's far enough. By the time Sasuke gets here she will already be awakened."

"How much longer will she remain there?" Deidara asked following Itachi, always following. Never being the one to lead, he could never win against Itachi, so he followed and played the part. Itachi remained silent, silent like always; he was silent while holding onto the girl. Her legs dangled over his right arm, but her head was leaning against his left shoulder for support. Her eyes were open- open but there was no one there. She was a shell, an empty shell because her spirit was in the past, but Itachi found her cute, so cute, but he wanted to destroy her. Destroy her because she was ruing everything, everything, but he can't- he can't destroy her because she was dangerous. Dangerous because of what that bastard did to her. He thinks he should have destroyed her when she was kid, because now that she was mature, she was prone to activate- activate what her stupid foolish brother did to her. And if she activated it, she would destroy everything- she will have no control, no control and he wonders if that was what Orochimaru wanted- for her to lose control. He knows it was risky sending her back to the past, risky because the past could also make her trigger what Kiyu did to her, but he hoped, hoped that Sasuke would get to her in time to prevent it.

Because they are each other's support

Even hatred between them shows the affection

That lies underneath
