Someone who left the most encouraging reviews on my first story asked me to do something with Madara Uchiha in it 3 A really, REALLY, REALLY short random idea, it takes place right before Itachi kills the Uchiha clan. Since Madara 'helped him' I assume he was there before the massacre, probably in hiding.

-------------------------------

Late afternoon. Around the time that children were coming back from the academy to their parents. All but Sasuke of course, he stayed behind to train longer. It was close to sunset, and in the dusky light, two people stood in an uninhabited alley of the Uchiha district.

Two men, plotting the destruction and death of the entire Uchiha clan. Well, all but one.

Itachi and Madara Uchiha walls.

"It has to be tonight. Sasuke is staying late." Itachi murmered, fingrs running down the blunt side of his blade, caressing as if he loved it. They both had their backs to opposite walls of the alley.

"Can you really do it?" Madara was wrapped in a black hood and cloak, shading his face. If anyone did decide to come into the alley, at least they would see Itachi and some stranger. "Can you really kill your clan?"

Itachi stopped touching the sword, glancing up like he was bored. Even with his face shaded, no Sharingan was needed to see Madara was smirking. "Don't doubt me."

"What about the boy, Sasuke?"

Itachi went back to fingering the sword. "He must live. I want his eyes."

"Like me?" Madara shifted his back on the wall. "You'll never do it. Even if you wait until he has his Sharingan, he wouldn't cooperate."

"Cooperation has nothing to do with it," Itachi smirked now. "You're afraid I'll do it, and turn on you."

Madara made no response, just changed the subject. "It will be such a good night for blood spill. Full moon."

Itachi noticed the sudden change, but said nothing to it. "You kill the people in the houses. I'll get the streets, and our parents. Do it before Sasuke comes."

Madara stood up from leaning on the wall. "You don't want to torment your little brother, Itachi?" He said with almost a playful tone.

"Sasuke will see it." Itachi ground out, standing up as well. He slid his 'precious' sword into his belt.

"Your voice changes when you say his name." Madara's joking tone was gone.

"The annoying little brat grows on you. He's going to have no one." He started to walk away.

Madara questioned, "This does not change anything?"

Itachi stopped and more defiantly said, "No."

"Good. Soon." In a blink Madara was gone, Itachi turned emotionless back to look. Then walked again.
