A NEW MEMBER OF AKATSUKI! THE DEADLY TEN RETURNS!

PLEASE REVIEW MY STORY. I REALLY WANT TO KNOW WHAT YOU ALL THINK OF IT!

Well so far we found out that Kurai's family are the guardians of the main Uchiha family. Just to let you know this is part two of chapter four. In this part of the chapter, we are about to find out what happens to Kurai. Fugaku explains to Itachi about their parting ways from now on. The first few chapters are a bit boring so bare with me for a while. I guess you can say that I have a lot of twists and turns.

DISCLAIMER: I DO NOT OWN NARUTO OR ANY OF ITS CHARACTERS. I ONLY OWN THE HIMURA FAMILY AND KURAI.

"I guess it is time then." Fugaku said.

"Itachi make sure it is done with, you'll be able to take Kurai back to her home okay?" Mikoto explained.

"Yes mother." Itachi replied.

Kurai did not know what would happen to her when she got home. She said good bye to the Uchiha family and left with Itachi as they had stated. As Itachi's parents watched them leave. They saw a bond between Itachi and Kurai. They knew that it was special since Itachi never really opened up to anyone. They felt sorry that they had to ruin this special bond. It seemed the only other person that Itachi would open up to was his cousin Shisui. Itachi and Kurai remained silent about half the way to their destination.

"What is going to happen to me?" Kurai asked.

"Don't worry about it. It is for the better." Itachi answered.

Kurai froze within her next step as she heard him say that. Itachi had stopped as well. There was a long silent pause that fell upon them. Kurai had suddenly had tears weld up in her eyes. She said, "It is better if we had never met, and I regret that we had ever met as well." Itachi was shocked when he heard this. "But I am grateful that I was able to fall in love with you."

When Itachi heard this he was very scared for Kurai since he knew what was going to happen to her. He felt bad since they would never be able to see each other again.

"Come on we should get you home before your parents get worried." Itachi stated.

"Okay then, let's go." Kurai replied.

They were silent for the rest of the way home. Once they had reached their destination, Kurai felt very tense. As they walked in through the door, Kurai saw her parents waiting for her warily. Her parents took a good look at them and they saw the same bond that Itachi's parents had seen. Itachi, Soichiro, and Misa went into another room and Itachi explained to them what was to be done. Kurai was then called to the room.

"Kurai I think you don't know this but… your memories of Itachi… will be erased. Every memory that you both share will suppressed. I'm very sorry Kurai but those are the orders hat the main house gave us." Soichiro explained.

"I-I understand. There is no use in opposing the main family." Kurai replied.

"Ummm… I guess I can allow you two to have a few minutes to say good bye." Soichiro said.

"Thank you very much Soichiro-san." Itachi replied.

"Okay I'll be back in about five minutes." Soichiro stated.

"Thank you father." Kurai answered.

Soichiro left the room and the only people in there now was Kurai and Itachi. There was a never ending silence within the room. Kurai bowed her head and began to cry. Tears fled down her face. Itachi walked towards the window.

"What is wrong Kurai?" Itachi asked.

"I regret that I met you, and now I even regret that I fell in love with you. I wish that this never happened." Kurai answered.

"Itachi was shocked by the statement she made. He felt nothing and the never ending silence had returned.

"I need to know one thing before I forget everything Itachi." Kurai stated.

"What is it?" Itachi asked.

"Did you… ever…love me the way I love you?" Kurai answered.

The world had stopped as she asked the question. Itachi looked out the window. He stared at the steady stream that flowed through her backyard.

"I did love you… I always did even now, and I always will."

Kurai's eyes had grown wider in disbelief.

"Why?! Why are you doing this to me! And… why are you doing this to yourself. You're only going to suffer in the end Itachi." Kurai exclaimed.

"I'm allowing this for you. I don't wish for you to suffer under my circumstances. Besides, I wished to keep my memories we have together. I will remain frozen so that I can hold these precious memories we have together, to enjoy for all eternity."

"Why do you want to suffer alone?" Kurai asked.

"I'd rather suffer alone than have you suffer along with me."

He kept his face hidden in the moon's light.

Kurai raised her head and walked over to Itachi. She walked over towards him and grabbed his hand and stared at him. Then within a smooth movement, he held her in his arms in an embracing hug. She was scared but yet happy at the same time. She closed her eyes and there they stood for a few seconds. In the moonlit room they eventually separated from each other.

"I guess it is time." Itachi said.

"Yeah my father should be coming back soon." Kurai replied.

Soichiro came into the room.

"Well I am guessing you all have said your goodbyes." Soichiro said.

"Yes we have. Now go on with the jutsu." Itachi replied

"Okay then, ready Kurai?" Her father asked.

Kurai was silent. She looked up at Itachi and said, "Yes I am."

Kurai's father put his hand over Kurai's eyes. At the last second Itachi whispered, "I love you." Kurai suddenly grabbed her father's arm and shouted, "Wait!" By the time she had tried to say what she had wanted her memories were erased. There was a bright light that illuminated the room. Kurai had fallen back and landed on the floor. The last thing she saw before she fell asleep was a figure with cold, red eyes walking away. She then closed her eyes peacefully. The lower half of her face was covered by her hair. The last thing that Itachi saw of her was a tear drop forming in one of her eyes. All of their precious, happy, loving memories were all gone within in a second. Their friendship, their love, their bond was all gone. This marked the beginning of the end for them.
