They walked towards the door. Right when she was going to knock, it opened suddenly. She screamed from surprise. He screamed too, but from the shock of seeing her.
She ran up and hugged him. "Itachi!" She yelled. "What are you doing here? I thought you would have still been gone." "Yeah, but Sayuri needs to go to the academy. She'll be a little behind even though the semester just started, but she'll catch up; no doubt."
When the name Sayuri arises, the little girl with big black eyes behind her showed herself to Itachi. She had long spiky black hair with red streaks. She was wearing a red sleeveless shirt. She also had a bangs on each side of her face.
The girl hugging Itachi was Itachi's age, and was wearing a black sleeveless turtle neck shirt. She had long straight hair with a bang.
Itachi's parents run in the room with a kunai in their hand.
"What's going on?!" Itachi's dad says. "Ahh!" She screams running to Itachi's mom and hugging her. "Hi Mrs. Uchiha!" "I keep telling you call me Mikoto!" She says smiling. She stops hugging Itachi's mom and turns around. She sees Itachi's dad and runs to him. They both laugh and shake hands and sees who can squeeze the hardest.
"Alright guys cut it out." Says Mikoto. "Sorry." She says rubbing her hand. "Itachi where are you planning on going?" She says. "Oh I have to go practice." He says rubbing the back of his head smiling. "Why don't you and Itachi sparr!? I would love to see who would win!" Says Itachi's dad. "Fugaku! Why would you want them to fight?" Says Mikoto.
"Yeah, why would you want to see Itachi's butt get beat?" She says half-smiling. "Oh really!" He says. "Alright fine! Let's go right now, it'll be apart of my training." "Well if says it's okay." They all gaze at her. "Alright, since it's apart of your training."
"Where's Sasuke?" "He's in the academy, he's gonna come back in a long time." "Oh it's fine, I was just wondering. Sayuri would you like to watch me fight Itachi?" She says turning her head to the little girl.
"No thanks." "Alright then how about you go into town?" "Really!" "Sure." "Do you think that's a good idea?" Says Fugaku. "Sure, even though Sayuri isn't that skilled like me and my sisters were, but she's still a prodigy." "You know Sasuke is kinda like that too." Says Mikoto.
"You sure, I mean it won't take long for me to beat Iyo." Says Itachi. "Oh really!" "Bye!" Sayuri says running out. "So she just leaves like that?" "I guess so."

Later her and Itachi and Itachi's parents were at a battlefield inside a forest.
"Rules?" Says Itachi. "No sharingan!" "What! Alright, fine." He says continuing his impassive face. Itachi and Iyo were 13 at the time, except Itachi was very skilled and advanced he already was at the 3rd stage of the sharingan.
"We can't kill each other." "Of course." "Anything else I'm missing?" "I don't think so." "Oh, if the person is down and can't get back up, they lose." "Just like any other match." They smirk at each other.
Fugaku and Mikoto use their sharingans to make sure they see everything Itachi and Iyo are doing.
"Alright, begin!" Says Fugaku.
The match had started yet Iyo and Itachi stand there still like a statue. Quickly Itachi's hand lowers under his long sleeve shirt and in his hands is kunais.
Iyo is still standing there. Itachi comes running in after her. He jumps up, and throws the kunais at her and different places. Then he takes more kunais and throws them at the other kunais he didn't throw at Iyo.
She jumps up moving her body very flexible, dodging every kunai. Itachi jumps back up and tries to attack her. They start punching and kicking each other. Both of them have no emotion on their face.
Iyo and Itachi flip back at the same time and land on the ground. They both use hand signs and say: "Fireball, Fire Style Jutsu!" Iyo's fire is more advanced then Itachi's. It starts overpowering Itachi's yet he jumps up to stop his, making Iyo to stop hers.
Iyo summons two shadow clones. Itachi only summons one. "Thanks for the new jutsu!" Itachi says. "You're lucky that it's easy to copy it, because you could only copy other ones with the sharingan." She says patronizing him.
Itachi's clone goes inside the forest.
Meanwhile Itachi and Iyo fight hand to hand combo. Iyo does a backflip dodging Itachi's move, except when she does it Itachi does it. While she was doing the backflip she throws a kunai. It cuts a little on Itachi's arm. Yet, he continues. In the forest.
Itachi Clone is running thru trying to find where the Iyo clones are. He stops and looks at his surroundings. He jumps up on a tree branch. He takes out kunais and throws many of them, some hit each other and hit the blind spots of the trees. One hits the shadow clone. "Alright one down another to go." He starts to run, soon when he's right about to trip over a string tied to two trees he flips over it before a trap was set. He looks around to see what would happen if it did. Iyo C. from behind the tree appears and attacks Itachi from behind. He obviously counter attacks it and starts fighting with her. They keep on fighting and boom Iyo stops and keeps her distance. Itachi C. and Iyo C. are standing there. He's wondering why she stopped.
"Look down." She says exuberant. He slowly looks down and then he finally realizes that, on his chest. Is a paper bomb. He looks back up and smiles. She holds two fingers up and BOOM.
The original Iyo and Itachi stop fighting. She smirks at him.
"What happened!?" Said Fugaku. "She blew me up." Says Itachi smiling.
Iyo and Itachi start fighting again. "Fire Dragon Jutsu!" She says, and a fire dragon comes and attacks Itachi. He hides behind a tree, except the side of his shirt is burnt off. Itachi goes back into the battlefield.
"Way to go!" Says Mikoto. "What!" Itachi yells, surprised to hear his own mother say that.
They both stand there, their faces are dull. Iyo starts trudging towards Itachi, he does the same. Iyo suddenly disappears. A mist forms and it's hard to see, Fugaku and Mikoto jump up and watch from a tree branch.
Itachi looks thru the fog. He sees a small shadow. It's Iyo. Itachi threw a kunai thru the shadow. It passed right thru it. He starting throwing more. The same thing kept happening.
Itachi was about to throw another kunai but stopped before he threw it. He jumped back and threw them into the tree branch. He threw a paper bomb and jumped further back. Boom.
The midst started to clear. No one was there. Itachi went back down on the battlefield and took his ready stance. Iyo comes thru the woods. She's injured. Itachi puts down his guard and worries if she's okay. "Iyo, are you okay?" He calls out. No response. "Iyo!" She falls.
Itachi runs over to her. Her head is down and she's holding her arm. She slowly looks up. She smiles. Itachi smiles back. Suddenly her face turns into many birds flying away.
"Wait but!" Itachi runs away. He hides behind a tree. He looks behind to see if Iyo is still there. She's not. Is this Tsukuyomi? I thought only the sharingan could make this. He thought.
He faces forward and there she was. Standing there. Then Itachi was constricted to the tree. He tried getting out. Iyo comes closer. She slides her finger down his face, and laughs.
"Remember the rules." Itachi says. "There are no rules." She says evilly laughing. She takes out a kunai and holds it in the air. Itachi watches, his face has no expression. Her hand falls and the kunai stabs her. She had stabbed herself. Right in the chest. Itachi's face was surprised and shocked and horrified.
He falls down from the tree. Then BOOM he opens his eyes. He's standing there, with Iyo far away sitting down.
They all look at him, his parents were bemused, while Iyo was shocked. His eyes were wet, yet no tears fell, but he did. Iyo ran to him and hugged him. Fugaku and Mikoto both went down to the battlefield. "Itachi." His dad said. Itachi slowly looked up at Iyo. He looks up with his eyes dry.
He smiles and says:
"You win."
Everyone else smiles too.
Later on everyone left the battlefield and Itachi went home. It was sundown. Itachi had dinner with his family while Iyo and Sayuri walked back to their home.
"Did you have fun?" Said Iyo. "Yup! I saw a lot of people, and I helped some people too with their bags, I was strong!" Says Sayuri. "Who won?" Sayuri says after she stops talking about her day. Iyo smiles. "It was a tie." "Tomorrow!" Iyo yells from remembering something. Sayuri jumps. "Tomorrow?" "Tomorrow you have school! You'll be joining the academy!" "The academy?" "You know how me and Kimie teach you about chakra and throwing a kunai?" "Oh, practice?" "Well, it's more like you go to class filled with other kids your age, and you learn and maybe practice." "Really other kids!" "Yeah!" Sayuri smiled.
xxxxx
The next day! All the kids are seated in class while Sayuri walks in carrying a bookbag. She stands next to Iruka.
"Alright class, we have a new student, her name is Sayuri...Sayuri! Well, that's it" "No last name?" Kiba calls out. "Just call me Sayuri!" She says in a feisty voice pointing to herself. "Alright, Sayuri take a seat." "Where?" "Anywhere."
Sayuri passes by each table, even though there are empty seats she still passes them. She finally gets in the middle of the classroom on the window side. She sits down to the person who's looking out the window.
"Alright class let's begin." Iruka says. He starts talking. Sayuri puts down her bookbag on the table and takes out pieces of paper for her notes. Then looks all over her bookbag for a pencil. She starts making loud noises trying looking for it.
"Uh, Sayuri...what are you doing?" Says Iruka. "Oh I can't find my pencil, I know I had it..can I retrace my steps?" She says getting up anyway.
She goes in front of the door. "Sayuri don't be near the door, someone could want to come in." Says Iruka. She decides to backflip, landing on top of a table.
All of the kids are amazed. Even a little Iruka for being agile already at her age.
"There it is!" She says, finding it already. She flips off the table landing behind Iruka. Iruka is amazed, and so is the other kids. "It was right behind your shoes!" "How did you see that?" He says not even noticing. "I don't know, it was right there, in plain sight." She says picking up her brown pencil. She walks back to her seat before Iruka could say. "Alright then, no more disruptions."
When she gets to her seat she doesn't even bother to look at the kid next to her. Iruka starts asking questions.
"Alright who can tell me, where is the best place to hide in a forest?" Some kids answer except it's not really a good answer. The kid next to Sayuri raises his hand. Sayuri didn't notice. She looked around and wondered why everyone didn't raise their hand.
So she decided to raise her hand.
"Sasuke." Iruka said. Sayuri looked around wondering who that was, and finally she looked to the person next to her. "In a tree." He says acting smart. "Good."
"Well..." Sayuri comments. "Oh you don't think so?" He says. "Well actually, I think it should be above the tree's. You could look between the leafs to see what was going on underneath, and no one really looks up there." "Oh, well you're right." Says Iruka.
"Well tell me how could you get up there?" Iruka ask.
"Well the same way you get up a tree. You put your chakra into your feet and run up the tree. You could even jump up from branch to branch." She says in a dull voice.
"Wow you know a lot!" Says a girl in the class. "Yeah you might know more then Sasuke!" A boy says. "Nu-uh! Sasuke is the number one in our class!" Says Ino. "Oh no, I mean, he probably is." Sayuri says trying not to show off. She looks at Sasuke. They both have dull expressions. Sayuri rubs the back of her head. "Sorry Sasuke, you're right too, ninjas everywhere hide in the trees." She says.
"It's true." Says Iruka.
"I bet Sayuri knows more than Sasuke!" A boy says. "No way!" Says Sakura.
"Alright fine." Sasuke says.
The room gets quiet. Even Iruka doesn't say anything.
"What?" Sayuri says in a attitude.
"Let's see."
"See what?"
"Who's smarter?"
"How?"
"I don't know, anyway!"
"Which way is your best?"
"Jutsus!" He says.
The room gasp. All the kids are chittering saying: oh he knows how to use jutsus. "Alright fine!" Says Iruka. The room gets quiet.
"How about during the practice for throwing kunai." He says. "What jutsu can you do?" Says Sasuke. "I know a couple." She says rubbing her arm. A couple! Everyone says quietly whispering. "You know a couple?" Says Sasuke feeling embarrassed for only knowing one. "No way you know how to do more then one! It's bad enough Sasuke knows how to do one, but more then one!" Yells Naruto. Sayuri turns around quickly when he starts talking. She hadn't noticed Naruto there. She stares at him. She knew about him. "What?" He says. "Oh, it's true, I mean, I could show you." "No." Sasuke says.
"How about I use my jutsu and you use one jutsu, and let's see who has the strongest one." Sasuke says. "Alright!" She says hitting his back. His face goes forward and hits the table. She starts laughing while the other girls are concerned.
They finally have the competition between Sasuke and Sayuri. It was near a small open area with three wooden logs with circles on them. "Uh, this place is a little too small." Says Sasuke and Sayuri. "You mean you need a bigger one!" Says Iruka. "Yeah." They both say.
So! Everyone goes into a different location, it was a bigger place with a pond and three logs there too, it was near the stone that carried the shinobi's name that died during battle. "Okay." Sasuke and Sayuri say giving their approval of the setting.
"You can go first." Sayuri said.
Sasuke was ready to show her what he could do, adrenaline was going threw his spine and his whole body was tingling. Sasuke quickly made handsigns, heaved his chest and said: "Fire Style; FireBall Jutsu!" A big flame shot out of his mouth. All the students, even Iruka had to step back.
Adequately the fire stopped. Impassive Sayuri walks up to Sasuke. Panting, Sasuke mentally notes what she does. All she does is grunts. She stiffens and heaves her chest and performed hand signs.
"Fire Style: Phoenix Flower Jutsu" Many flames came of her mouth. They intentionally targeted the trees in the woods above the academy students.
Taking caution Iruka hovered over the kids, everyone continued to gaze and the wonder. Hesitating Sasuke walks up, stumbling from being very amazed.
"That was amazing!" Said one kid being very exuberant.
Sasuke and Sayuri were standing there, face to face, not saying one word. It was silent. Sasuke looked down, and started to chuckle. Sayuri was first bemused, but after Sasuke looked up and started laughing harder, she couldn't contain herself from not laughing. Everyone was still puzzled until Iruka started laughing too, he wasn't even sure why he was laughing. Soon everyone was giggling and laughing.
Sasuke opened his mouth wishing to speak. All the other kids shushed the other people laughing, it soon became quite. Sayuri was grinning ear to ear.
"Well then." He started. "What's going thru your head Sasuke? Confusion? Are you surprised? Angry?" Sasuke started giggling again, only for a short time though.
"Neither." There was a silence.
Sayuri looked harder at Sasuke, analyzing everything. "Or." Sasuke made a straight face. "Eagerness." "Eagerness?" Iruka said. Sasuke's face slightly lifted.
"So I got it right then. You're eager to beat me now, is that it?" Once again Sasuke chuckled. "Yeah."
For some reason all the kids gasped, probably because Sasuke was basically accepting the fact that Sayuri was better than him.
Sayuri looked around and looked at all the academy students. She noticed a few weren't there. The only people who weren't there was Shikamaru, and Naruto. Sayuri faced tightened. Sasuke noticed the change in her face. "What's wrong?" Sayuri was some what surprised from him actually noticing. Sayuri thought about if she should reveal the fact that Naruto and Shikamaru wasn't there. But, she didn't, she knew Iruka Sensei would've gotten angry. So she kept it to herself.
xxxxx
Days have went by, Sayuri was still in the academy from most of the time, but sometimes weren't there, Iyo was still helping Itachi practice. The sun had broken into the horizon, and Sayuri was awakened by an abrupt sound. She glanced at the clock, it was 5:17AM.
She got out of her bed and took out a kunai that was in her dresser and put on her small kunai bag. She peeked thru her door into the hallway, there was no one there. Swiftly she got out of her room making no sound.
She finally got to her living room, the door that led to the back yard was opened. She saw a tree was knocked down. She assumed it was intruders and decided to ambush them. She walked on the wall to the ceiling, she carefully went into her backyard. She finally let her guard down and dropped to the ground landing on her feet.
There she was in front of her, panting with her fist tightened. It was Iyo. She was the one who knocked down the tree. Sayuri said nothing, if she did, she didn't know how her sister would respond. Finally breaking the silence Iyo said something.
"I'm sorry, did I wake you up?" "Oh no!" She said waving her hand. Iyo walked over to Sayuri and bent down.
"Sayuri, do you remember where your sister is?" Sayuri titled her head. "Well you're right here..."
"No not me, remember? Kimie." "Oh! Yeah big sis is..." Iyo stopped her before she could finish. She moved her ear closer to Sayuri's mouth. She understood what she was doing and whispered the information.
"Good." She said moving her head away.
"Is she coming here?" "No, I might have to go soon." "On a mission?" "No, more like, I might be moving..." "Moving? To a new house? Village?"
"Well, I have to go on a mission, then I'll live in a village near the place where my mission was, do you understand?"
Sayuri didn't know how to respond, the words wouldn't come out her mouth, so she just nodded. "Good." "Where's the village?" "It's a very small village, you have to leave too." "Why!?" "You can't stay here by yourself!" "Yes I can!" "Well yeah maybe, look you have two, three days, I don't know how much time we can extend this mission.
But, Kimie is coming here tomorrow, to come pick you up." "Kimie! But.." "No matter what, even if you hate me, Sayuri. I'll always love you." She patted her head and disappeared in smokes. Sayuri stood there, staring at the tree. She put her kunai in her bag and ran. She finally got there. She was in a training field, surprisingly Sasuke was there too. Sasuke threw the kunai at the target, which hitted the middle.
"You're getting better." She watched Sasuke wheezing, scratches all over his face. She dug into her kunai bag into a secret compartment. She pulled out a band aid, she took off the wrapper and got closer to him. Suddenly Sasuke realized she was putting a band aid on his face. She took steps back and put the wrapper into her bag.
"You shouldn't push yourself too hard." Sasuke grunted. "Why do people keep telling me that?" "Because you are!" She glanced at the other logs. They had kunais in each of them, all in the middle or near the middle.
"That's pretty good." She said taking note. "Oh, thanks. Sayuri, how did you learn that trick?" "Oh, well my big sister taught me it, she teaches me a lot about stuff." "Really, I wish my big brother would teach me stuff, all he does is tell me he's going to do stuff with me and then tells me he can't do it." "Yeah, my sister's been gone too lately, she's mostly with Itachi." "How does your sister know my brother?" "They went to the academy together along time ago, she even graduated with him." "No way! She must be really smart to graduate with Itachi! Itachi was a year younger than we are now!" "Yeah.."
"Sasuke." She said speaking again. Sasuke waited for her to say something. She finally did and said:
"I'm sorry." "For what?" "I have to leave." "When?!" "Maybe in two days..maybe three." "Are you leaving forever?" "Maybe." "You are!" "My sister said that my bigger sister is coming to pick me up, my bigger sister is coming tomorrow!" "You have a bigger sister!" "Yeah, I did talk about her?" "Oh, well maybe you did." "She older than my big sister." "How come I haven't seen her?" "She lives in a different village, she's studying with my mom on something. It's a small small village." "Why are you leaving?"
"Oh, my sister has to go on a long mission, and I can't stay here by myself." "I'm sorry." She repeated.
"It's okay." Sayuri suddenly jumped to Sasuke.
Next thing he knew, she was hugging him. He stroked his fingers in her long hair. "It's okay." He said repeating it. "I'm sorry." She finally let go. "Do you wanna practice?" Sasuke looked down deciding whether or not if he was able to. "Okay." Sayuri and Sasuke started practicing.
Meanwhile with Iyo, she was with Itachi. Iyo was waiting in front of the hokage's building, when suddenly Itachi appeared, his eyes were red. "Did he comply?" "Yes. I don't have long though, I only have four days." "What! That's barely any.." "Iyo, I can't complain with the hokage.." "This is crazy!" Iyo minded what she said. "Are you okay?" "I don't know. How should someone feel in a situation like this?"
Iyo grabbed Itachi's hand. "C'mon." Before he could reply she teleported both of them into the battlefield where they fought before.
"What are we doing here? I can't fight you right now." "I know. Look I just wanted to make sure that we had a good place to talk, I don't want anyone in our conversation." Itachi nodded.
"I can help bringing you to them." She finally said. "But, I would never want to leave this village like this. I can't betray my village." "Well you can't stay here! You have no choice to join with them, you can't go anywhere else." "Yeah but I don't want you to have to join with them too. I don't want you to be associated with them and that kind of group."
"Yeah, I was hoping to stay in a village near their hideout." "How do you even know where they are? How do you know they'll let me in!?" "One, it's not important how I know, and two, Itachi, you're a prodigy at everything! No doubt they'll let you in." "I don't know, but my family." "Wait, what did Sarutobi say about Sasuke?!" "It's fine, I convinced the hokage..." "Thank goodness. I have to do it to him." "Why?! Still?"
"I have to, I can't let him remember Sayuri, it's best if he didn't remember her or me, or our relationship." "I already figured what I'm going to say." "Good, we have no choice to put him on that path.." "I know, but why! Why that path!?" "Trust me, I know what I'm doing, I thought of all the probabilities and outcomes what will happen." "How do you know someone out there is plotting to get Sasuke for his sharingan? I mean that would change your whole outcome!"
"I already thought of that, trust me, I already know, I found vile information on a certain person who would want something like that."
"Who!" "I can't say, let's just say he's my moms friend." "Your mom has friends?" "What yes! Your mom has friends! Did you forget about Ku-"
"That was my moms best friend, it's just that you know after the accident, she hasn't been the same with other people."
"Yeah, hey you know Naruto and Sasuke are rivals?" She says changing the subject. "Yeah. Wait how do you know that?" "Huh, oh, sometimes I like to spy on them." "...Me too!" They both started laughing. After they finished laughing Iyo spoke again.
"He's gonna end up being someone important to him." They both exchanged looks. "I already know what kind of person he's going to be like, and I already decided if Sasuke goes into that path, then Naruto is the only one to get him off." Iyo nodded. "Four days right?" "Yeah." "I need your help." "But, can't you..do it by yourself?" "Yeah I could, except I'm trying to do it in a short time, and I don't know if I have enough time." Iyo exhaled. "Okay."
xxxxx Day 2/4 xxxxx
Eventually the next day came. Iyo and Itachi were hiding in a distance waiting for Kimie to come. Sayuri and Sasuke were at the academy.
Finally she appeared.
She slowly walked into the village and greeted the guards.
Itachi and Iyo vanished into smokes and appeared in front of her.
She was about 20 years old, She wore an open chuunin vest and a navy blue tank top that exposed her navel. She had maybe less than medium length red and black spiky hair that parted to the side. She had a bang over her her left eye with a hair clip holding it.
"Nice to see my sisters "partner" again? Itachi." She said smirking. He gave a light chuckle and greeted her. "Where's Yuri?" "She's at the academy." "When will she be back?" "Not too long." Said Itachi. "How's Sasuke?" "Eager." "As I thought, probably trying to get ahead of Sayuri like you always did with Iyo."
Itachi rubbed the back of his head and smiled.
"Kimie, that was in the past!" Iyo said blushing, thinking of old times.
"Alright, well I'm going to the academy." "Are you really that impatient?" Asked Itachi. "Oh no! It's just that I wanna take some books on teaching, because now, I have to be the one to teach her." Iyo and Kimi exchanged looks and nodded.
With that, she walked between them and walked away.
"Hmm." Itachi said to himself.
xxxxx
The academy finished and all the students ran out of the building. Iruka was still in the classroom and was whipping the board. Then, the door opened.
"Oh he-y I didn't know you'd be here." Says Iruka. "Yeah, sorry for barging in." Iruka rubbed his head and blushed.
"It's okay, Kimie!" "I was wondering if I could get some books and information on teaching and jutsus." "Oh ah, sure!"
Iruka rushed over and grabbed some books and scrolls out of his desk. "Thanks." She walked into the classroom and walked over to Iruka to grab them. Right then someone opened the door.
"Oh.." Said Iruka not too relieved to see who it was.
Kimie turned around and smiled ear to ear. She ran up and hugged him. All he could do is make a surprised face.
"It's great to see you! How long are you going to be here?" He said hugging her back. "I thought I would never see you!" She said. "Well isn't this a nice reunion." Said Iruka. "Sorry." He said rubbing the back of his head."Well it's okay."
"So what are you doing here Kakashi?" Said Kimie.
"Just going where the wind takes me." He said getting dull.
"Wind? You're inside, how could there be wind?..." Murmured Iruka.
Kimie continued to take the scrolls and books from Iruka. "What's that?" Asked Kakashi.
"I'm trying to study up on teaching Sayuri things, because now, I have to become her sensei." "Why? What happened to Iyo?" Kimi didn't say anything, yet her blank face said it all. "Okay." Kakashi knew not to go any further.
"Alright well thanks Iruka! I owe you one!" She said smiling and waving goodbye. Iruka smiled back trying not to show his blushing face.
"Here Kimie, I'll help you carry those." Said Kakashi already taking it from her hand. "Thanks." Iruka's face soon went pale. Kimie and Kakashi left the room and were walking into town.
"So where're are you going?" "Maybe to get some foods, I probably have to head out tomorrow, I don't know yet, I have to talk to Iyo about that." "You haven't talked to her yet?" "I did, it didn't cross my mind that's all." "So where is she?" "Probably home." "So I guess we have to check there." She nodded.
They arrived at Kimi's house. Kakashi and Kimie walked inside and found Sayuri, Sasuke, Itachi and Iyo sitting in the living room. "Look who's home!" Said Iyo. "Kimie!" Yelled Sayuri running up to hug her big sister leg.
"See, this is my bigger sister Kimie!" She said to Sasuke. "Wow!" He said for some reason amazed.
Sayuri slowly looked up at the person next to her big sister. Kakashi managed to make a smile. It was obvious that he was nervous. His face suddenly got calm and actually half-heartedly smiled. "Hey! Whatcha holding?" She said pointing to the books. "Oh it's some books for me." Said Kimie. Sayuri suddenly let go of her leg.
Her face was serious.
Everyone in the room was staring at her. Kimie nealed down. "So you heard the news?" Sayuri didn't say anything.
"So am I leaving today?" She finally said. Everyone in the room gasped. "I don't know, you have to ask Iyo."
All eyes were soon on her. She glanced at Itachi and back on everyone else. "I have three days until I have to leave for my mission. Sayuri can leave in two days, three at the most."
"Woohoo!" Sayuri exclaimed.
xxxxx Day 3/4 xxxxx
The next day came and it was already 7:40, Sayuri was packing for leaving either today or tomorrow with Sasuke's help. Iyo and Kimie still hadn't decided on which day. Kimie, Kakashi, Iyo and Itachi were at a bar with a private place to eat and drink.
"So what's this mission?" Said Kakashi. "It's nothing, it's small, I'm escorting someone." "Then why do you have to move?" "I have my reasons." "What are your reasons?" "It's not important." Kakashi slugged in his chair. "When's the next time you'll be in the village?" Kakashi directed to Kimie.
"We probably won't come back.." "Wait what? But, why?" "Hey I said probably! Look it's complicated."
Iyo stared at her food. Itachi watched her.
"So Itachi, you may be young, but have you done anything with my sister yet?" Said Kimie.
Iyo quickly looked up and they both blushed.
"Kimie! You don't need to know that!"
"Oh so you've done some things." Said Kakashi monotonous.
"But of course." Said Itachi smirking from the corner of his mouth.
"Itachi!" She yelled.
They all started laughing. "Oh well what about you! Kimie!"
Without knowing Kimie's face went red.
"That's different!"
"Ah ha!" Said Itachi.
"But of course." Said Kakashi.
"Kakashi!" She yelled.
The laughter continued.
xxxxx
Sayuri and Sasuke finished packing and were sitting in front of the porch. "Do you think we'll see each other again?" "Yeah. But in a long time." "How do you know?" "Trust me."
Sayuri looked at Sasuke who was smiling and looking no where.
xxxxx Day Four xxxxx
Iyo, Itachi, Kimie, Kakashi and Sayuri were in front of the village gates.
"Itachi, I'm sorry." Said Kimie. "I have to do it." "The academy will end in about an hour or two, is that enough time?" "Yes, I already talked about it with my parents, they are the only people in the clan who know besides me."
Kimie and Iyo looked at each other.
"Make sure Sayuri is safe. It's a long way back home on foot." "Right." Iyo kneeled down to Sayuri.
"You remember that jutsu I taught you?" Sayuri nodded. Iyo straightened herself up and summoned a scroll. She handed it to Kimi.
"What's this?" "It's the jutsu, just incase..if she forgets." She said quietly. "Right."
Iyo hugged Kimie.
"I'll come visit you guys from time to time, when I get older." "Please do." Iyo pulled away.
Kakashi stepped in and hugged Kimie. Kimie placed her hand on his face. "Oh!" She pulled away and took something out of her bag.
It was a book, she handed it to him. She whispered something into his ear. When she pulled away he blushed.
"I haven't read any of his books in a long time." He opened the book and started reading it. The book she gave him was: "Icha Icha"
"It's time for you to go." Said Iyo. "Right."
Sayuri ran to hug Iyo's leg. She patted her head.
They finished their goodbyes, Kimie and Sayuri left. After they did, Kakashi quickly disappeared. Wasting no time Iyo and Itachi ran.
Clouds started overtaking the sky. It grew dark. Iyo and Itachi were in front of a house in the Uchiha Compound. He opened the door and took out his sword.
An hour went by and school was finished. Sasuke ran home hoping that Sayuri was still there. Itachi was standing on top of a pole. Waiting, for Sasuke. The moment he saw him he quickly left to get Iyo.
Iyo nodded. "It's done." She vanished, and so did he.

It seemed forever but Itachi finally arrived in front of the village gates to go to Iyo, she was carrying two bags one on her back and one she was carrying, she was also wearing a chuunin vest.
"Where is he?" "I dropped him in front of the hospital."
Itachi seemed calm, but Iyo could see right thru it. She ran up and hugged him. Right then he started crying.
"I'm sorry, I just can't contain myself, seeing him fall, seeing him so confused. Seeing him in pain like that." She didn't know how to respond to that. "I'm sorry." She finally sputtered.
"We have to go." He nodded and wiped his tears.
They ran out of the village.
