Chapter 1 Thank you…
Kai's eyes flashed open in alarm. The vision had arrived. Kai knew it was going to happen soon, but not this early.
She got up, grabbed her katana, and ran outside. Looking around everything seemed peaceful.
But that was only for a moment.
A loud explosion rang through the cold, dead, silent air.
Kai stud against the frozen wind, waiting.
This was her last chance to be helpful for her family.
She knew it would hurt them and her, but it had to be done. Her grip tightened on her unused katana.
She hated fighting, and often tried to avoid it. In her vision, she was to die. If she was going to die, then she was going down fighting.
Kai scowled upon seeing the face of her enemies.
She had to admit she was scared, petrified even.
This was her first and last major battle. Taking a deep breath, she calmed herself, remembering her brothers' advice and who she was.
She was an Uchiha. Uchihas do not show their fear during a fight or battle.
The enemy ninjas drew closer. Quickly, Kai activated her Sharingan. The nins surrounded her, ready to kill.
Kai unsheathed her katana and killed the small troop. Not a single sigh escaped their mouths as their heads left their bodies falling undignifingly onto the ground. Kai began to notice others running out to help. Within seconds a war broke out.
Every other second a new scream would stain the once tranquil night. Kai paid no heed to the pain filled cries and focused on one thing.
Protecting her family.
She may not be as strong as Itachi or as powerful as Sasuke, but she was just as determined as them, maybe more so.
Itachi spotted Kai, and made his way over to her.
For years, he and Sasuke had protected Kai.
One thing the different brothers shared in common was their love for their younger sister.
Sasuke, too, has made his way to Kai. She ignored them, for they would be a distraction for her.
She focused on her enemies and on her enemies only.
Another group surrounded her, this time stronger. The boys' eyes widened in fear for Kai.
Kai knew this was it.
This was what she was waiting for.
She would die, and she would die with dignity and honor.
The whole Akatsuki, now watched in horror as the nins drew their swords, readying them.
Kai closed her eyes and waited for Death's sweet embrace.
The fiendish nins sprang forth their katanas and watched the sharp blades pierce the girl as if she were nothing. The nins pulled back their blades and disappeared. Her beloved siblings ran forth to catch her bleeding body.
No sound emitted when she was stabbed, and no sound even now.
Kai forced her eyes open and looked as Sasuke and Itachi's teary faces.
She smiled, knowing they would be safe.
Finding her vanishing voice, she spoke the words that once comforted them, yet made them dread,
"I love you, but I must go. Good bye, Aniki, Nii-san…"
Slowly her eyes began to close and her heartbeat soon matched.
The last words she had heard made a smile appear on her innocent face.
"Thank you, Kai."
"We love you as well."
Her job was done and soon she would be meeting her son up in Heaven.
"I'm coming, my dearest Shiro."
