New things from me! I make no update dates. I've got lots on my mind right now and don't know when the updates will happen but I don't ever abandon anything. I hope everyone enjoys my twist on this. Rated mostly for language… And violence.. Mustn't forget the lovely violence.

A seven year old Sasuke looked in horror at the blood drenched streets of the Uchiha compound. Dead bodies littered the streets freezing the boy in fear. He began to run forward to find his family when he heard rapid footsteps approaching him. His head sharply turned toward the sound to see his big sister Misaki running to him with an urgent look on her face.
"Onesan!" He ran to her "what's happening onesan? I'm scared!"
"It'll be alright Sasuke" she said leaning down and looking him over "are you hurt at all?"
"N-no onesan" he looked at her right arm that had a long bloody gash down it from shoulder to elbow "what happened? You're hurt!"
"It's nothing, just a scratch." She took his hand and ran for the exit of the compound "I have to get you out of here Sasuke, something bad is happening."
"What's going on? Where is Okasan and Otosan?"
"They're gone Sasuke. I'm sorry…" She saw tears form in his eyes. She wished she didn't have to tell him their parents were dead but he was old enough to know and he wasn't dumb. He would have figured it out anyway.
"W-what about Itachi oniisan?" Her eyes narrowed.
"I… haven't found him yet." It was a lie. Itachi had been the one to slice her arm. She tried to talk to him but he had only gone in for the kill. She ran. At the point she realized he couldn't be reasoned with all she could think of had been to get to Sasuke before he could.
"Where are we going?"
"Somewhere safe" They ran through the streets of Konoha passing the occasional late night wanderer until they came to the house of Mitarashi Anko. She knocked frantically at the door until a sleep ridden voice from inside announced her arrival.
"Do you have any idea what time it… What the hell happened to you?" Anko looked at her friend in shock.
"Anko… Please… Take care of my brother for me…" She motioned to Sasuke standing behind her clutching onto her skirt.
"Um.. Sure…" She had no chance to ask again what happened to her. Misaki pulled Sasuke around to in front of her and made him face her. She kneeled down and looked him in the face.
"Sasuke, I want you to stay here and listen to Anko-san. Okay?" He nodded. The child looked scared out of his wits. Even more so now that he realized that his sister was leaving him if only for a little while. Misaki stood and looked at Anko. "Take care of him, I'll be back as soon as I can." She whipped around and bound off back to the compound. Before she got out of site of the house she heard Sasuke's voice.
"Be careful Onesan!"
"Don't worry Sasuke" She mumbled to herself "One way or another I'll come back to you."

Sasuke stood and stared at the door after Anko shut it. He heard her sigh and he looked up to meet her concerned gaze.
"Damn it" she mumbled "I don't know anything about taking care of kids" They stood in silence for a few minutes. "come on kid, you look like you could use some tea."
He followed her into her kitchen and sat at the table while Anko prepared the tea. He stared at the table thinking about Misaki. Would his sister be okay? What was happening at home? Is Itachi alive? That must be why she went back! To find Itachi! He was her twin brother after all. His thoughts drifted around until they landed on the hard truth that was the death of his parents. His eyes started to water as he thought of them. His Okasan was always kind and would listen to him whenever he needed to talk. His Otosan had been rather cold to him for a while but had recently been paying him a lot of attention. Just when he had finally gotten some recognition from him this happens. Itachi's whereabouts where unknown.
"You gonna be okay kid?" Sasuke's eyes darted from the table to the purple haired girl Onesan had left him with. She held a steaming cup out to him.
"Thank you…" Sasuke mumbled.
"Listen, Your sister is a strong girl. I'm sure she'll come back for you." Anko reassured Sasuke. He nodded numbly and took a sip of his tea and stared into the cups depths.
They sat in silence for what seemed like hours. The clock on the wall ticked on almost torturously making Sasuke think he would loose what was left of his nerves. What was taking her so long? He started to suspect the worst when a soft scraping noise was heard from the front door. Anko jumped up kunai in hand.
"Stay here kid." She exited the kitchen. A few second later he heard Anko exclaim something that made his blood run cold. "Oh my god! What in the seven levels of bloody hell happened?"

Misaki ran through the streets of the compound past her dead clan mates. Her kodachi gleamed in the moonlight briefly before the moon slipped back behind some clouds that foretold a coming storm. She knew he was still here waiting for her; there was only one place he would be. She stopped in front of the door that once led to a bright and cheery living room where she would spend time with her family. She slid it open to the horrid sight of her parents bloody and dead on the floor. It took all her willpower to keep from throwing up. Her Sharingan blazed as they gazed into the eyes of the one responsible. He stared unfeeling back; his Mangekyo Sharingan almost piercing her soul.
"Why Itachi?" She asked, fighting back tears. "Why have you killed our clan? Okasan, Otosan? Why?" His sword dripped blood menacingly.
"To prove my power" He stated coldly "Shall I add you to the list dear sister?" He pointed the sword at her looking like a snake ready to strike.
"What happened to you Itachi? You aren't the brother I knew!" Tears were flowing down her pale cheeks. She readied her blade to charge.
"Do think it wise to hunt me down and start a fight as injured as you are?" he asked with almost maddening calmness and indifference to his sister's wound.
"IF I DON'T STOP YOU YOU'LL GO AFTER SASUKE!"
"Hidden him away, have you?" She looked at him in rage, her control slipping away. "I thought you might. Makes the hunt more challenging, that is all."
Misaki flew into a rage filled, almost suicidal charge at her twin. She threw a vertical slash at his shoulder that he easily dodged with a sidestep. She let out a cry of pain as she felt him slash her side. She spun swinging at him again. He coolly blocked it and slashed at her arm nicking it. Rage was blinding her. She was unable to think and block his attacks. Blood and tears flew through the air as she charged again. Her efforts where successful this time. A clean blow landed on his collarbone, however, the Itachi she had hit burst into a flock of ravens.
"You have lost your touch, Misaki" The voice whispered in her ear sending shivers down her spine. Itachi was behind her and all of a sudden her rage was gone. It had been replaced with cold, gripping fear. She jolted forward when she felt his blade cut diagonally across her back once again sending blood flying into the air and onto the already blood soaked floor. She turned to face him again in the hopes of defending herself but was met by cold bloody steel plunging through her gut. Her hand slowly moved up and clenched the blade that had been planted firmly in her midsection, her eyes wide with shock. Her Sharingan deactivated leaving onyx colored eyes to bore into Itachi's. A small dribble of blood slipped out the corner of her mouth. He sharply ripped his katana from her.
"Goodbye Misaki" He muttered to her as she fell forward onto the cold, stained floor.
She lay in a pool of her own blood that was steadily growing bigger. She heard her heartbeat in her ears as if it were counting down until it gave out. Her breathing was harsh and breaths were short and painful. Her mind fogged over and she prepared to fall into deaths embrace.
"Be careful Onesan!" Sasuke's last words to her rang through her fading mind , clearing the haze like a hurricane. She couldn't die yet! Her little brother needed her! She painfully pushed herself up onto her feet. The strain caused a new gush of blood to burst from her body. She ignored it her wounds didn't matter anymore, all that mattered was getting to Sasuke. She promised she would come back for him and she kept her promises.
She stumbled forward out of the house and into the streets. The moon had been completely covered by wicked storm clouds. Lightning flashed across the sky as she began the long trek to Anko's home. She limped and stumbled through the streets of Konoha. No one was around this time. Even the stray animals had disappeared to hide from the impending storm. She left a clear trail of blood behind her that would no doubt alarm people in the morning. At long last she reached the walkway through Anko's front yard. She stepped through the gate and her legs decided they no longer wanted to hold her up. She hit the ground but proceeded to crawl slowly, painfully up the walkway. It started to sprinkle a bit. She reached the front door. Since she couldn't open the door or knock she did the only thing she could do: claw feebly at the door. She heard cautious footsteps and the door opened.
"Oh my god! What in the seven bloody hells happened?" She felt herself being rolled over and she vaguely notice she was looking at Anko. She also noticed a spiky silver shape in her peripheral vision, or what was left of it anyway, but she didn't care about that.
"S'ske" She was barely able to choke out.
"He's fine! Misaki, What happened? Who did this to you?"
"Onesan?" Sasuke had approached and was kneeling next to his sister.
"M'glad you're okay" she whispered. Her vision began to get blurry again.
"Misaki-san! Stay with us!" She vaguely recognized that voice as Hatake Kakashi. Explains the silver thing.
"Don't leave me Onesan!" She reached up and was barley able to touch Sasuke's cheek.
"I love you Sasuke… Be brave for Onesan…Okay?" Her vision darkened and her hand dropped limply to her side. Her breathing slowed and her body became numb. She felt the rain start to pour down hard and she knew no more.
"ONESAN!"
WHO WANTS TO KILL ME?
*Sasuke raises hand* You're just EVIL!
Yes I know… Just bear with me. Review please!
