Chapter 2: The Past Revealed

"Who? Can't you just kill the person yourself?" I asked him, confused. I was almost certain he could kill anyone.

"Well, this person is special. He is an Uchiha. Kamato Uchiha." He explained.

"Wait, hold up sempai. Uchiha? I thought you wiped everyone out." I asked.

What the hell? I thought the only survivor was his little brother, Sasuke.

"Kasumi, apparently, he escaped. Kamato was born into a family where he was hidden because the village was afraid that if the parents had a baby, he would grow up too powerful, and so he never existed legally."

" Then how do you know about him?"

" Well, I was a close friend to the family and they shared everything with me. There is only one reason why I can't touch him."

"And what is the reason?"

"On the night I slaughtered my clan, before I killed the boy's parents, they put an ocular power in him that keeps me from touching him and he certainly grew up strong. Also, they transported him away from the compound while I was attacking. I guess Orochimaru found him because he's now with him, in the Hidden Sound Village." He explained.

"Hidden Sound, huh? And you believe that I can do this?" I asked, curiously.

Maybe he just didn't want to show that I impressed him.

"Yeah. I believe you can." Itachi said, proudly and smiled.

That warmed me up and made me feel happier.

"Well, we have to get back to the hideout and when you're going to kill him, tell me first. Okay, Kai?" He said, smirking.

"M'kay, Uchiha. Do you want me to say hi to your brother for you?"

"Poke him in the head for me."

Well, the whole way back after that conversation was dead silence. You could only hear us walking. Then, we finally reached the hideout.

Leader-sama checked the status of all the missions. After a long while, he finally ordered, "Everyone. Dismissed."

And surprisingly, Itachi and I were left alone.

"Well, I'm going back to my room. Care to join me?" Itachi asked.

"Um. I guess I have nothing better to do…." I agreed.

What is he doing? What am I doing?

We walked silently to his room.

As I peered inside the room, I saw pale white walls, and his bed was propped up against the far corner. His closet was brown wood and a table and chair were the only things that were messy.

I drifted to his bed and sat down. It was surprisingly comfy. So, I decided to lie down and stare at the ceiling.

I pivoted my head to look at his face.

"What do you want to talk about, Itachi?" I asked.

What the hell does he want? He is making me so confused.

"Your past." He retorted.

What the hell?

"My past? What for?"

"I'm curious. Tell me." He demanded.

"Well, I was born in the Hidden Leaf, like you an-. "

"What are you talking about? I don't remember you." He said, obviously perplexed.

Ugh. Let me finish.

"My clan, the Kai, was like the Uchiha. We were feared for our great power, and kekkai genkai. Konoha officials decided to shun us, so we were kept very secret. One day, Konoha agreed to slaughter my clan, with my own father as the killer, but before I was killed, my mother transported me outside the compound and Orochimaru found me."

"I never knew that. What happened with Orochimaru?" He asked.

Its like he's interrogating me.

"Orochimaru trained me. I escaped from him when I decided it was enough. He tried to take over my body, but I countered it with my sharingan and left." I said honestly.

"Hm. With your sharingan, huh? ."

"Yeah. Anyways, Orochimaru couldn't get me back because I have grown stronger than him. " I said.

"You are very powerful." He said, complimenting me

Huh, someone's playing nice. Wonder what's his motive.

"Uh. Um. Itachi, it's 10 PM. Already. I should um, go…." I said.

This feels so weird!

Interrupted in his thoughts, he retorted, "M'kay. I'll walk you over."

What the hell? 'Walk you over'?

"Kay. Sure." I replied. I felt so confused. I guess he saw the perplexed look on my face, so he gestured toward the door.

I walked through, and Itachi followed mysteriously. I didn't dare look back, because if I did, I would see those piercing red sharingan eyes fixed upon me.

Crap. Crap. Crap. Big Crap.

We finally reached my room. I unlocked the door with my key, turned around and said, " Thanks, Uchiha. Nice talking to you."

"You're welcome, Kai. Anytime."

AWKWARD!

I closed the door and scanned my sea-blue walls, my black wood daybed, my huge, black piano, and my wooden drawer. Everything was in place. I lay down on my full-sized bed, and stared blankly at the ceiling.

What the hell just happened?

I lay there, wondering, perplexed. I turned by body to my side so I could see the black digital clock that sat perched on the black wooden table by my bed.

10:04 PM

I decided I should sleep, considering that I was exhausted from walking miles and miles looking for that stupid scroll. I closed my heavy eyelids, and wandered into a world of unconsciousness.
