Maiasa's pov

My sister Tsuki became a chunin the week after mother's capture and now she's a jounin. she's completed missions to the sand village, the rock village, the land of the waves and survived. When she's gone, Aunt Mikoto taught me what she taught my sister when she was a kid. I don't know why she never complained because its boring but she managed and i will too. It is my birthday today and tsuki's too but i don't know if she's back from her current mission. Itachi said she's fine. He's an an ANBU ninja captain. He's really strong now. If Tsuki isn't on her missions, she's either talking or training with Itachi. it's a very rare occasion that she ever gets to hang out with the gang anymore. we really miss her too. especially sasuke. he adores her. Tsuki finished her lessons before she became jounin. she passed every test Aunt Mikoto set her about housewives. I'm sitting in the first lesson of the new year of the academy, on my birthday. I was sitting next to sasuke, listening to Iruka-sensei tell us about what Tsuki and Itachi had already taught us during one of Itachi's lucid times where he actually cared about our ninja skills. I'm just waiting for the bell to ring. as much as i love learning new things, i've already learnt what he was teaching and i really couldn't wait for Tsuki to come home. If she's back, she comes with presents. I can't wait to get out of this academy and be a genin. Genin get to go on small missions and if your lucky, safe missions that aren't that dangerous out of the village. But what interests me is we get taught by a jounin just like my sister with two other people. they apparently teach you powerful stuff until your chunin and then your basically on your own.

'BRRRIIIIINNNGGG'

the bell finally went. I grabbed sasuke's and hinata's hands and raced out the door. If she was here, she'd be at the front of the school waiting for us. we are now a little disappointed walking Hinata back to her house, which is past the training grounds. we walk past the the training grounds and i heard someone screaming.

"Maiasa, Sasuke, Hinata, over here!!"

I looked around and saw a tired Tsuki with a bag of presents.

"Maiasa- chan, Sasuke-kun, hinata-chan! i missed you guys heaps! sorry i'm a little late. I had to be careful because i was in the village mother got taken in. they hate leaf ninja after the... don't worry. I brought presents though. Hinata gets her's now while you guys have to wait until we get home."

I gave Hinata her present and she opened it eagerly. it was a headband with every symbol of the villages. hinata squeaked.

"Thanks Tsuki-chan. I'll cherish this forever!"

we walked hinata back while Tsuki told us all about her mission that wasn't classified, like what sasuke asked.

"Did you kill anyone Tsuki?"

"that's classified information sasuke but i will tell you the truth. I didn't kill anyone. I was the stalker like person. Kakashi was the killer. I don't have the guts, thats why i'm a healer."

After that question, we all asked about other villages and what they are like. she told us all about the grass village. it was really nice when she got passed the rudeness of the ninja. they really hated leaf ninja and their village is really remote. its the only village past the sand village and is only connected to the sound and sand villages. A day after the sand village, the sand turns to really long grass that slows ninja down a little. she would love the village if it hadn't killed our parents. Hinata's house was now right in front of us.

"Maiasa, I'm sorry my father won't let me attend your birthday party..."

"Um Hinata, its not much of a birthday party. i think Tuski has to do a ceremony. Uncle fukugu said so."

"So the party is later tonight?"

"Yeah i think so. something like that."

"No, that ceremony is like at 10 tonight. the party is now! we're late!"

Tsuki hugged hinata and took sasuke and my hands and ran off at high speed that no one could see us.

Tsuki's pov

we got home to see two towering cakes, sasuke running in ahead, switching the lights on and i saw in the fridge was a wedding cake. I knew that tonight, tonight was going to be the night where my fate would be sealed. i'd be married to one of the uchiha boys but i didn't know which one it would be. Would it be Sasuke or would it be Itachi? i heard everyone in the room yell 'SURPRISE!!' Maiasa and I walked into the room together to hug and thank everyone who had come. All my team members on my squad (kakashi, Gai and Asuma) and the whole clan. I went over to itachi and gave him a hug. I saw Maiasa and sasuke around my bag full of presents. Maiasa gave sasuke his and they both ripped the box open. I laughed at their eagerness to have their presents from me. Maiasa got the same headband that i got hinata because i knew both would love it and I also got her a kimono. I got sasuke ninja weapons and a note saying i'd teach him how to use them properly. I went over to the bag and got what remained of the presents. One for Aunt Mikoto, one for Uncle Fukugu and one for Itachi. I had finally gotten over my fear of my uncle and didn't use suffixes anymore and he didn't mind and we were very close now only because i was the second prodigy in like 12 years. after i gave uncle fukugu, aunt mikoto and Itachi their present, Maiasa and i tackled our huge pile of presents.

Maiasa's pov

Tsuki gave her remaining presents to the family and we got into our presents. Tsuki got books on ninja techniques, recipie books, kunia and other ninja weapons while i got teddies, dolls and toys. As much as i loved being a kid, sometimes i wanted Tsuki's life, with all the ninja missions and coold ninja moves and all the respect from the clan and from uncle fukugu. I looked around and saw Itachi hiding in a corner opening his present thinking no one was watching. he had gotten a katana. i couldn't tell what he was feeling, but no one could ever understand.

Itachi's pov

Tsuki-chan had goteen me a katana from the grass village. I really liked it. i could tell that she understood me about my need of ninja tools. ninja tools help a ninja to survive when it gets down to it. After two years of spending my spare time with her, training her, talking to her and getting to know her at my mother's request really helped me actually coming to terms with the marriage that should have happened tonight if it wasn't for... she would have made a wonderful wife.

Tsuki's pov ( a few hours after the party.)

I had taken Sasuke and Maiasa out training before the wedding tonight. They really wanted to practise what they had learnt today at the academy, which was basically revision for what I had taught them. It was dark and if we weren't home soon, I'd be late for the wedding but i felt something going down. For some reason i could hear pleading. It sounded distant and I thought it was in my head because i hadn't slept in two days.

"Sasuke, you heard Iruka-sensei and Tsuki can tell you too, the handsigns are dog, boar and tiger!"

Sasuke tried over and over again with Maiasa and Sasuke got that jetsu first before Maiasa. They evetually got it after like 15 tries. they were almost out of chakra. now they had three jetsu in their arsenal ( flame blowing jetsu, blazing fireball and now transformation jetsu.)

"Guys, It's time to go. It's getting dark and Aunt Mikoto will freak. The ceremony is tonight and we're LATE!"

they nodded and took my hand. i raced home with a firm grip and it seemed like they were flying just trying to get their legs to keep up. We went straight to the family temple and no one was there. not one soul and this is where they should all be. we looked around wondering if they were playing hide and seek but no one was there. I took their hand and ran straight back to the house. It was really quiet, a little too quiet.

"Mother, Father we're home."

Sasuke had called out into the house. there was no reply and we got all panicky. We took off our sandals and ran around the house in search of our family. we all met in front of Fukugu's study. I knocked slowly and the door just budged open. i pushed the door, only seeing half the room lit and in the middle of the light was Aunt Mikoto and Uncle Fukugu, lying on top of each other, like a pile all limp; like they were lifeless. I tried keeping Sasuke back from the pile but i was too late. Sasuke had broken free and thrown himself onto his parents. Maiasa stood by my side in total shock. I ran upto sasuke and tried pulling him back without using strength knowing it would hurt him, but he wouldn't move. the tears started to fall and I felt Maiasa move from her spot and go staright to her aunt and uncle.

"Can you heal them Tsuki?"

I felt their skin. it was ice cold. i tried healing them, trying to push away the thought i couldn't knowing they were beyond healing. the chakra just sunk into them and wouldn't heal the wound.

" I'm sorry sasuke, its too late."

I suddenly felt a presence and i knew it wouldn't hurt us but i had to make sure. I activated my sharingan and looked into the darken side of the room. It was Itachi.

"Itachi! Itachi! please come out! i was worried that who ever done this got you too!"

Itachi came out of the darkness with blood all over him and the katana i had given him earlier this afternoon had been soaked in blood. Sasuke ran up to him and hugged him.

"Aniki! you found the weapon who killed mother and father! you tracked down who had done it and killed them!"

but something was wrong. Itachi wasn't saying anything and he wasn't hugging sasuke back, not like he used to.

"Sasuke! Maiasa, get behind me!"

Maiasa knew i was using my bossy voice and i swore to her i'd only use it if she really needed to listen to me. Sasuke was less reluctant.

"Sasuke! let go of Itachi and come here! Get far away from him. Itachi didn't find the killer, he IS the killer!!!"

Sasuke looked into Itachi's eyes and backed away slowly.

"No! NO! NO, NO, NO , NO , NO , NO!! Itachi, tell her you didn't, please tell her you didn't!

Itachi just stood there not saying a word. Maiasa just got what that meant.

"Your own clan Itachi! Your own family! how could you do it?"

"I am leaving. come find me and get revenge. when you are strong enough and have the same eyes, come find me. i will be waiting."

He jumped out the window and tears fell down my face. Maiasa walked through the door.

"Maiasda, where are you going?"

"After Itachi."

"NO! please Maiasa, you have to stay here! for your own safety! please, don't leave me!"

she wouldn't stop and i couldn't move. I was kneeling on the floor with sasuke, just hugging and crying.

Tsuki's pov

After managing to get sasuke out of the study, i put a sealing jetsu on the room so sasuke wouldn't go back. We were in the lounge, sitting on the couch, waiting for Maiasa to come back. we were just about to give up waiting and go find her but someone knocked on the door. I opened it, hoping it was Maiasa but it was Izumo, one of the gate guardians of konoha.

"Tsuki Uchiha?"

"That is me."

"Is your aunt home?"

"Well kinda, but she's dead."

"What?"

"Itachi Uchiha killed her. now what do you want? I'm head here."

"Well... I don't know how to tell you but.."

"What is it Izumo? get on with it!"

"We found Maiasa's body on the ground right outside the gate. I'm so sorry."

Now the tears really start to fall. I fell to the ground in front of Izumo. He looked so bad. he had realised i was still a kid who needed her family. I had lost every single one of my family memebers except fir sasuke. Sasuke was the only one left for me to be here for. He needed me and for him I was going to kill who had taken his family away, who took my life away but that would wait for the morning. Right now sasuke needed comfort and so did i. we curled up together and cried. soon enough sasuke and i were asleep.

I woke up before sasuke had and i wrote a note:

Sasuke-kun,

After this pain that itachi has left us, after he had taken my sister, i want to go give him a taste of his medicine but i can't like this. You, being that last living being that i care about with my blood, i hope you can forgive me for leaving you here, and i hope you don't forget me. we will meet again someday.

love Tsuki Mika Uchiha
