AN: I changed some things.
Ch.3
The next thing the trio knew the Hokage was in the room with them.
"What has happened here," the Hokage asked. "I heard that the Uchiha Clan was planning something. Tell me what happened. Why are Itachi and Sasuke the only ones left alive?"
"That man killed Fugaku and Mikoto-san," Takara said but when she looked around the man she had killed was gone. "What? He was right there," she pointed to the spot where the killer had fallen. "He had Sasuke by the throat when I came in so I stabbed him through the heart. I know I did. I just know I did..."
"Looks to me like no one was here except you, Takara," the Hokage said.
"Honest, Hokage-sama. He was right there."
"She is telling the truth. I saw him there too," Itachi said. "But what happened to him?"
"Search the entire compound," the Hokage ordered the Anbu. They dispersed to do as he commanded. "Now Takara, tell me everything you know."
"Well I was on my way to meet Itachi like always when I saw this figure come out of a house and head for Itachi's house. I followed but was intercepted by a small group of men. We fought and when they were defeated I continued on to Itachi's. Inside I found Fugaku-san on top of Mikoto-san. Neither of them were moving and then I saw that a man had Sasuke by the throat. I rushed forward before he could choke him to death and stabbed him in the heart from behind. He released Sasuke right as Itachi came rushing in covered in blood. I told him what I just told you. Fugaku-san and Mikoto-san were dead."
"Itachi, is that what she told you?"
"Yes, exactly."
"Itachi, tell me what you saw."
"I was called away by a masked man. It was a wild goose chase. I lost him so I returned home, however I saw several figures gathered. They attacked as I approached. It is their blood I am covered with." He was interupted by the return of an anbu member.
"Sir?"
"Yes?"
"There are no other bodies found besides those of the Uchiha clan. What do you want us to do now?"
"That I do not know. Continue Itachi."
"Yes sir. I defeated and killed those in my way. I continued to my house where I found several dead men. I went into my house to find Takara catching my brother as he fell from the man's clutches. Then I saw my parents and knew that they were dead."
"The Truth?"
"Of course. Why would I lie to you?"
"What are you going to do," Takara asked.
"Until I have all the facts I can't really do anything," The Hokage answered. "How is Sasuke? Does he need medical treatment?"
"I don't think so, but it would not hurt to have him checked out. Just in case," Itachi answered.
An Anbu checked over little Sasuke and he was found to be in perfect health.
Itachi asked, "Where are we going to sleep tonight? We can't stay here..."
"You and Sasuke can stay at my place. I have plenty of room. I have an empty bedroom and an extra bathroom that's not being used."
"That's a great idea," The Hokage said. "I will have my most trusted Anbu outside in case they come for the rest of you. Go to Takara's and get some sleep."
"Yes sir," Itachi said. So Itachi followed Takara to her house. When they got there the Anbu were indeed guarding the one story house. Takara took out her keys and unlocked the door. she allowed Itachi to enter first since he was carrying the tired and sleepy Sasuke. "I don't think I've ever been here before," Itachi whispered to her as she went about getting the extra room ready for her guests.
"It was my parents and no you have not been here before. No one has, not since they died. I live alone. You guys can sleep here in the room down the hall on the left? The bed is big enough for two adults as tall as my dad."
"Where are you going to sleep?"
"In my room."
"Oh."
"Go to sleep." She walked to her room and sat on the floor at the foot of the large king-sized bed that once belonged to her parents. She sat there with her fingers touching the floor as she sensed the perimeter around her house, searching for anyone unwelcomed.
