AN: Thank you Loaded Faint Of hearts for the little review! *Gives you cookie.* And thank you to anyone who is reading this… I assure you that this will be longer than the prologue. XD So, onto the fic!

Sasuke scrambled to get up frantically as people on the street were walking around him on the sidewalk. "Why are people out when it's raining?" He thought to himself. It baffled him greatly, but he decided he had more important things to worry about. Why was he here in Amegakure, anyway? Wasn't he supposed to be in Kusa to get the information Tsunade had sent him to get? "That light I saw…." He whispered.

He stood up. Man, was his behind was sore!

He then took a crinkly piece of paper out of his pocket, which was now soaked. Unfortunately, Amegakure wasn't on the map. That wasn't even the worst part about the situation. There was absolutely nowhere to go! Without much sleep (unless unconsciousness counts), how could one possibly get aid before returning to Konoha? Oh screw it, he just needed to get back alive.

Even if he was by himself at the moment.

[O_O]

"Kisame, where the hell do you think you're going?"

"Well, I knew we'd be hungry on our way, so I thought we should get some dango before we depart from here."

Itachi growled. To say he was displeased with his partner was an understatement. As a fair warning, he simply "hn"d. Irritation shone in his sharingan eyes.

"Lighten up- it won't take very long." The shark said.

A burning glare was then sent his way.

Instead of fueling what seemed to be a one-sided argument to Itachi, he replied, "Fine."

"Just don't keep me waiting forever. Leader-sama informed us this is a significant mission."

Kisame smirked.

[O_O]

Damp onyx hair clung to Sasuke's face as he peered around buildings, trying to find his way wherever the heck the border may be to start his trip back to the Leaf Village. He was scared out his mind here since it was so unfamiliar to him. He had read once that it was dangerous territory to be in because of some ninja organization… What was it? Akatsuki or something?

That aside, he's never been here before. He knew the weather in Ame was usually like this, though. How annoying it was! It was ruining his hair and overall putting him in a bad mood. He sighed. This was impossible.

After walking on a hopeless path to escape, he soon came across a dango stand that was just off into the distance a bit. Maybe I could stop there, the raven mused. Perhaps someone could actually help him. He ran with his remaining energy towards it.

He was getting closer and closer by the minute.

The stand luckily stood out from most of the other buildings. It was small, but also the closest establishment by. Someone was bound to help him.

He stepped forward quickly only a few yards away when he saw two figures walking out of the place. They were vaguely visible in the rain and touch of mist. Something he noticed about them was, though, they were wearing black cloaks with red clouds on them. The men must have been heading in his direction. They halted in front of him.

[O_O]

Itachi and Kisame were exiting the dango stand they had stopped at, which Kisame praised for being the highest of quality. The Uchiha couldn't complain. It was nice to go somewhere to eat his favorite food with the other solely because it was probably the only time he'd actually get some peace for a while. Admittedly, he wasn't that annoying. To tell the truth, Deidara was the one person that got on his nerves. Still though…

The sharingan wielder suddenly spotted someone.

He had paused when he saw the trashiest looking young man wearing a black shirt, violet short sleeved jacket, green cargo pants, standard blue ninja sandals, small gold bangle bracelet, and a necklace with a… Uchiha crest on it? His hair was being weighed down by the water droplets in them, but he could tell that it looked like the trademark duckbuttke hairstyle of a certain foolish little brother. He looked at the elder, which in return earned him a "Hn."

Right when he was just about to ask the two for help-

"Isn't that your younger brother, Itachi?" Kisame asked, readying his Samehada for battle.

"Sasuke…?"

The younger shrugged. "Aniki? This is where you've been for so long?"

Itachi flashed his sharingan and pulled out kunai from his weapon's pouch from inside his cloak. He proceeded to throw two warning shots.

They just barely missed Sasuke's head.
