Disclaimer: I don't not own Naruto if I did I wouldn't be here writing this. Aw ok maybe I would XD ) ………………………………………………………………………………………………………………
As Kunai made her way over to the Uchiha residence she saw sasuke playing at the front porch.
"Hey sasuke!" she called out to him.
His eyes brightened when he saw her and he ran over giving her a big hug.
"I herd you were back, but I didn't know I would see you so soon" he said still holding on to her.
"You gave brother a good excuse to not train with me, to bad he left again"
"Why where is he?" she asked a little let down that she had made the effort to come so early in the morning only to find he wasn't here.
"Father said he went on a important mission for the good of the clan!" Sasuke said doing little quote marks when imitating what his father said.
"Is that so, Well how about I make it up to you shell I take you to go train?"
Sasuke smiled running inside and grabbing a pouch filled with weapons and his sandals.
"That would be great".
They both left for the training grounds.

Itachi sat in his tent the rain had been pouring down for the past three days now and just like he hadn't hoped it had made the mission slow down. With the rain pouring down like this they were unable to pursue the enemy and were camping out until it stopped.
Worst was that it would take at least three more days to complete. His thoughts wondered to what Kunai might be doing right now. A painful lonely feeling started to swell inside of him a feeling he was familiar to since she was gone for those two years. He started to think about how she had looked since coming back, very different to how he remembered her she was now more mature and prettier. She still wore the same old black knee high skirt and red long sleeved top but for some reason she filled the clothing out well now.
"I feel a bit perverted thinking of my best friend like this" he mumbled knowing no one was around. Of course she always said things like that to him. "Itachi you're so handsome", "Itachi you look good today".
Her sweet voice echoed threw his mind. He couldn't wait to get back to Konoha and see her again.
………………………………………………………………………………………………………………….
It had been seven days since Itachi left on his mission and since the first time she had seen him in a couple of years. She was sitting on her porch while sasuke played with her brother. She was beginning to wonder if he was alright surely a mission didn't take that long to complete, but then again it was an extremely hard one.
"Kunai where going in to eat join us"
"Ill be in just a minute take care of sasuke for now Light!" she called to her big brother as she watched them enter the house.
The words he said that night "we may never have fun like this now that I have so many missions"
"Baka he should of touched would she laughed, But it stopped short. Will he be out like this all the time from now on? She wondered would she ever get to spend time with him like they used to. She felt a sad answer probably no came into her head. She had felt a change in him since she came back. Feeling that it had something to do with him being promoted to Anbu. Becoming jounin was his goal he had stated that he had no care to go higher. then why so soon? she wondered. A tall proud person came to mind of course his father. He was always putting pressure on Itachi but of course was proud Itachi used to always come to her stating that he felt like he was being used and yearned for the way Kunia's family were proud of her and never forced her to do anything she didn't want to. Her answer, People yern for what they don't have and cant see what's so good in front of them. But maybe there was more too it. She was interrupted when she herd a voice from a person now sitting beside her.
She almost had a heart attack when she saw who had positioned himself right next to her without her even noticing.
"Oh you are good"
Itachi smirked before a unreadable emotion formed on his face "Thank you"
She looked puzzled he had simply said Thank you but at the way he was looking at her it felt like it was said to mean so much more.
She felt her body stiffen as he circled his arms around her and pulled her into a warm hug.
Her arms were to the side not in motion but then she relaxed and hugged back. She could feel it was as if he needed it as if he had been waiting for it for a long time.
"Itachi are you ok?"
"I'm fine, I'm perfectly fine." He said still not letting go.
The usual kind of cold Itachi would never offer a hug yet alone refuse to let go. That was one of the reason why they matched she was so loving and out going making them fit. She felt her heart melt as she took in what was happening. She closed her eyes taking in every second.
After four whole minutes of nothing but a warm embrace and silence.
She felt him slowly let go and sit back down beside her.
"Did you miss me?" she asked teasingly expecting a little fight to start, he was caught out but he definitely was going to protest, pretend as if the hug hadn't even happened.
"Like crazy.." he simply answered not even putting up a fight at all.
Kunai felt her mouth drop open and her heart began to race.
"What kind of mission was this exactly?" she said confused hoping that the mission might have something to do with his warm personality.
"A simple mission it just took so long because its was raining so much"
"Why? are you surprised by my new found personality?" he asked smirking at her.
"No of course not…" she felt her cheeks grow hot and a sik yet pleasing feeling that felt like there were a million butterflies in her stomach.
"I've got to go tell my father and Mother that I'm back and wash up, ill see you tomorrow " he said getting up and walking off as if he had suddenly returned back to normal. But Kunai just sat there she was feeling the after effects of witnessing Itachi's new found personality.
…………………………………………………………………………………………………………………
Itachi and Kuani were eating at one of there favorite restaurants. Both had a long mission and had met up to get something to eat. It had been three weeks since she had come back and everything began to settle down a bit. She had found that his new found warm personality had lasted and it still gave her butterflies whenever he did something out going. They were both quietly eating when a ninja approached there table.
"Are you Kunai?" he asked in an urgent tone.
"Yes why what is it?" she said a bit uneasy at the ninjas seriousness.
"You must come with me right away the Hokage requests you"
She looked at Itachi confused but requesting that she be accused he smiled and nodded giving her permission.
She got up following the ninja leaving Itachi also wondering what was going on.
………………………………………………………………………………………………………………
At the Hokages office there were a few familiar faces but she couldn't quite tell from who they were.
"Hokage you asked for me" she said with great respect.
The hokage was currently sitting on his chair reading papers. He looked up hearing the young girls voice and immediately his face saddened reluctant to talk. She felt a deep sinking feeling inside of her slight panic arose but she pulled herself together pretending not to fear the worst.
"What is it Hokage" she said again this time with slight demand to hear what is going on.
"As you know you brother went on that mission to the rain country with these three and two other members. She paused she looked at the ninja standing to her right. Yes two of them were her brothers close team members. Her eyes widened when she picked up to what was going on she stared at the her borthers to close friends.
"Where Light Kairi?" she said softly.
"……"
Kunai felt vision become blurry as her eyes filled with tears.
"WHERES LIGHT!" she now was shouting her voice was hysterical.
She ran up to Kairi shaking her "WHERE IS HE ANSWER ME?"
"Kunia stop it"
She turned around to see the hokage standing up now.
"Im sorry Kunai, we lost him"
"no.." was all she found could some out her voice was croaky and she felt her knees giving way, for a brief moment it felt as if the world had stopped as if time had stopped she couldn't feel herself breathing or crying or the words of everyone around her. just the knowing that shed never see her brother again. Then it all started there were voices around her tears were flowing down her face her knees were now beginning to shake furiously refusing to hold her up. So did the only thing she could think of, despite the feeling telling her she couldn't she forced her knees to stop shaking and move she ran.
………………………………………………………………………………………………………………
Worried Itachi had left eating to search for someone who knew what was going on. He paused when he saw a few ninja close to him bring up her name.
"Kotetsu what's going on what happened to Kunai?"
Kotetsu looked to the other asking if it would be ok to tell him they nodded.
"Its light his dead"
"what, where's Kunai?" he asked still a bit shocked at the news.
"We don't know she ran away" said another ninja from behind him.
Itachi started to run, all he could think about was how she must be feeling right now alone somewhere probably crying. He wished he was there when they told her all he wanted to do was find her and comfort her. He ignored the callings of his name and had his mind he knew where she might be and for his sake and hers hoped he was right.
………………………………………………………………………………………………………
Kunai was sitting beside the tree starring at the river her eyes had stopped crying but she still felt as if her heart had broken and there was nothing but a dark cold feeling inside her. She was in a daze of disbelief. When she herd footsteps behind her. She was thinking of turning around to see who was approaching her but she couldn't bring herself to move of do anything right now.
after walking up to her the stranger paused a few feet away.
"I'm not going to ask if your alright because I already know that anyone in your case who felt alright would be either cold hearted or crazy, and your neither."
At just hearing his voice she felt tears suddenly come pouring out and she quickly jumped up lunging her body at him. He immediately caught her and embraced her as she let her face disappear in his Anbu jacket.
"I'm sorry I wasn't there with you when you found out" he whispered.
She remained silent still crying and sniffling. He began to feel his heart begin to hurt as he remembered the older male they had been good friends and he had the sort of personality familiar to his sisters warm and happy. The same looks to dark black hair light grey eyes pale skin. They looked almost like twins.
"Itachi why did he have to go so soon?" she asked still sobbing
"I just came back and he had to leave why.. WHY DID THAT HAVE TO HAPPEN!" she was now screaming again and felt like a fool but she couldn't help but let it out and she knew there was no one better then to here her and understand but him.
"Shinobi dye everyday, but the reason why it is not considered something sad is because everyday people like your brother get up they go out for their country, there loved ones knowing that if they die it will be protecting the ones they love" "that's what's your brother did"
He looked down at her she had stopped crying and was now starring into space again.
"That doesn't make it stop hurting"
"I know it doesn't" he said putting his hand on her head bring her closer to him.
"but try and be proud of him"
"I am" she let go and walked under the tree sitting on the soft grass.
She tapped the ground beside her indicating for him to sit down too.
He followed her gesture.
As he sat beside her he could see she was still sad but not so much angry her red eyes stared at him as she laid her head in his shoulder.
"Stay with me till it stops hurting" she said in a soft tone.
"But it may never stop" he said looking concerned.
"I know……."
