A/N: Hello all my awesome fanfic readers! How be-eth you? I be-eth good, I be-eth 16 now!! Muahahaha...Anywho, sorry bout that, here's your story, sorry I haven't updated in ages...My apologies!!
Naruto and Sakura looked at each other with worried faces then to Sasuke. He was filled with anger. He clenched his fists and his knuckles turned white and he gritted his teeth as he had done so many times when he heard any reference towards his murderous older brother. Then the silence was broken by Magda's harsh whisper.
"Hide! Now!"
Sakura and Naruto did so and ran from the room into a cupboard, they were pretty good at hiding themselves now, and they knew that Itachi, as talented as he was, couldn't sense them. Sasuke stood the whole two metres from Sakura and watched as he saw his older brother Itachi walk through the arches of the broken door, then Kisame behind him.
"Witch.." greeted Kisame.
"Shark.." she replied spitefully.
"What did you say!?" said Kisame as flashed his sword in front of her.
"Kisame…Leave it…" said Itachi. "We're here for one reason only…" he continued.
"What the hell do you want?" said Magda. Then suddenly Kisame slapped her and she fell upon the ground knocking over her chair. She hit her head on the wall and lay upon the floor. Itachi was only inches away from Sasuke's fuming face. He stared into the eyes of his killer and thought of the day he died. He had been throwing Kunai at Itachi when he got hit suddenly in the back, then several more times from the sides of his body. He had assumed that Itachi had clones of himself.
"Look what you've done Kisame. She's unconscious…how are we supposed to find the ghost of my dead brother…or his body for that case" said Itachi. Sakura's eyes widened as did Naruto and Sasuke's.
Sasuke repeated those words in this mind over and over again. His older brother, his killer, was searching for his ghost, himself? What was going on? And why were they looking for his body? And if Itachi had indeed killed him, how could he have lost him body? Sasuke was quite confused.
"After all, the other members of Akatsuki killed him. Bastards, that was your fight..." said Kisame. Itachi nodded and peered around the room then at Magda again.
Akastuki killed me? Why?!
Sasuke continued to stare at Itachi intently, trying to process the words, questioning them. Itachi didn't kill him? Why did Akatsuki deliver the killing blow?
"Well…We'll find that body and get rid of that second cursed seal. That'll stop him. This is our top priority. We find that body, we put a stop to our potential destruction" said Itachi as he walked towards the limp Magda. He picked he up by the neck and held her high, his nails cutting into her neck, drawing specks of blood. He then brought her face to eye level. After several minutes her eyes opened slowly and stared back at Itachi.
"Where is Uchiha Sasuke?" he said.
"He'd dead." She replied.
"Indeed. Where is his travelling soul? His corpse? Tell me now..." instructed Itachi patiently.
"I don't know.." she replied.
"Nonsense.." replied Itachi quickly.
"I'll never tell you!" yelled Magda before she spat on Itachi. With his free hand he wiped it from his face and jerked his hand so that the spit slid of freely and fast onto the floor.
"Sorry to hear that.." said Itachi as he let go of her neck, she fell onto the ground with a thud. Itachi then walked out of the hut.
"NO!" yelled Sasuke as he tried to run after him, but he was jerked backwards and fell on his back. He then watched as Kisame walked closer and closer towards Magda, and with one swoop his sword fell and her head rolled beside Sasuke.
Sasuke stared at her decapitated head then glanced at Kisame who appeared to be humoured. He then walked out of the broken doors archway and disappeared from view.
Sasuke sat on the floor confused. He put his head in his hands and thought of what had just happened.
"WHY?!" he screamed as he banged his fist on the floor. He heard the cupboard open and saw Sakura and Naruto appear in front of him.
"Sasuke..." started Sakura. Sasuke didn't reply. Sakura put her hand on his shoulder. He jerked away and stood up.
"Sasuke, we'll find out why they killed you.." said Naruto.
"Will we?" said Sasuke darkly.
"Yeah we will! Believe it!" said Naruto.
"Tch. Shut up Naruto with all your believe it shit! I'm so sick of hearing all of your positive crap and all this glass half full bullshit. How are we supposed to find this out huh? It's not like he can use Magda to find the Akatsuki members and question them you know?! The sky's the limit!" yelled Sasuke. Naruto went quiet. After a couple of seconds Sakura broke the silence.
"Don't say nonsense like the sky's the limit…I've seen many Shinobi fly across the heavens and higher.."
Sasuke and Naruto looked at her. Naruto smiled and patted Sakura on the back sending he forward a little, then Sasuke smirked and spoke.
"Let's go then..."
"Um...what about Magda?" said Sakura as the others started walking out of the hut.
"Leave her, we were never here Sakura..." said Sasuke.
Sakura felt horrible about leaving Magda's dead body like that, she had done something very noble. Sakura felt bad about wishing her dead earlier, but nevertheless she followed her two team-mates.
"Where to?" asked Sakura as they all started to run through the forest then jump from tree to tree.
"Well…What do we know? Akatsuki killed Sasuke right? So we have to find them, to find out their reasons yeah?" said Naruto. Sasuke and Sakura nodded.
"So...if we need to find Akatsuki, we have to research them.." continued Naruto.
"But that could take weeks? And where are we supposed to start…" said Sakura.
"Tch, this is so annoying" said Sasuke. For a moment they all remained silent until Sakura spoke, breaking the silence.
"What if we just skip the whole research part and ask around some villages, maybe we should go to Suna, Gaara might know of some of the Akatsuki members, since there are some from Suna.." suggested Sakura.
"Hmm, I supposed that's all we have, to Suna" said Naruto.
"Hn" said Sasuke as they changed the direction of their travel. Off to Suna they went.
