Kagura watched in amazement.
Her Sharingan making her velvety red eyes glow more crimson.
She had hoped it would protect her from Itachi' genjutsu.
Her Chakara was gone.
Hopefully he wouldn't even look at her.
But she was wrong.
Itachi was coming near.
His hands to his side and his eyes locked keenly on the girl.
Kagura's legs felt like water underneath her.
"Kagura…" He said, while taking a stop and staring into her eyes.
He wouldn't hurt me, she thought to herself. Would he?
 The look in his eyes showed her answer.
Her hands shaking as she held her needles to her side.
Wait- patiently – to strike him.
" Itachi…why? Why are you doing this?" She asked.
Itachi didn't reply.

He was towering over her.
Taking in the fear and seeing how
she was still able to see him through the genjutsu .
She looked to her left for Kakashi- and saw that no one was there.
It was just her- and Itachi.
Her heart began to race.
She began to cry out, and –without thinking-
she reached to skin the other boy with her needle.
He had caught her hand and gripped her wrist.
Holding her up to the point that her feet were barely touching the ground.

"Look at me,Kagura." He finally said. His voice smooth and subtle,
but it also held authority.
Like a man from ANBU would.
"Kagura.."
It was kinder this time. Sweet – like the boy she used to know.
But it made her look into his eyes, and she had lost herself.

Everthing went into a darks shady red, cloud, atmosphere around her.
Looking down at her hands she saw her wrists shackled and
her body in a negative state.
She looked up to see the big red full moon shining above her.
That moon- was slowly growing closer towards her.
But as she looked down again at the shackles;
moving desperately free herself, she saw Itachi crouching over her.
She turned her head from him and he smirked.
"To think that you would be interested in seeing me again."
he said, gently turning her head back to face him.
He was dark too, like her, he held no color in this redness.
Only ,His Sharingan was the only color that prevailed.

" I have to thank you. You played a deeper role in this than you think."
He said, brushing her hair back from her face.
How long has it been since he had seen her?
He even remembered when Shusui introduced him to her.
She was- is- beautiful.
But he refused to let this get to him.
The job wasn't done and they both knew this.
"I don't want you in the way for what I am to do."
She glares at him.
"What you are to do?! You've done enough!" She snaps.
Reaching to smack Itachi across his face,
but stopped due to the shackles that bound her.
He stretched his legs and stared down at her.
"Rest easy, Kagura…I don't want you more involved than you already are."
He said while fading into the red close.
The bright moon hadgrew closer and closer.
Making her pass out due to the impact of Tsukuyomi.

She can them standing in front of her.
was this the genjutsu finally warping an illusion within her mind?
She saw the man she loved the most standing in front of her.
he wore something different than what she'd seen him in now.
It was his ANBU gear.
His weasel mask covering his face as he stood there.
"I-Itachi?" She managed his name from her mouth.
But the man said nothing.
His back was towards her as he took off his mask.
"Kagura.." He said, with a sweet grin on his face.
His eyes weren't as intense as she thought they were.
But she still treaded cautious.
He stared at her from over his shoulder and watched as she stood up.
"Where am I?"
"inside your mind."
Itachi sounded more focused on something else other than what laid behind him.
"such a beautiful and open mind. Filled with treasure memories and beautiful thoughts."
He added.
"Itachi…I-"
"you're doing great with Sasuke, he may act like he doesn't care. But he does. He'll protect you, like you would him."
He placed his hand onto her shoulder and grimaced.
"But I am not his true mother!"
Her eyes began to water,
"Nor am I his blood."
Itachi was frowning, he looked up at the darkness that surrounded them and saw something.
it was a crow with bright red eyes lurking at them.
Almost as instinctly, Itachi held Kagura close to him.
glaring sharply at the bird, whom perched on its dark limb stalked them cunningly.
must he come now? He thought while watching the bird stare back at him.
It was a reminder to him from Madara.

Giving thanks for what he couldn't do without Itachi.

"Why? Why, did you do this to us?" She asked.
He looked into her ruby-colored eyes and saw a hideous truth that shook him
away from her.

This girl was meant to be dead.
Itachi was suppose to kill her too.
