Oceanna

There was rough movement in the bed that jolted me awake.

I sat up just in time to see Amber being pulled from the room.

I stood but the door was slammed in my face just as I reached it. Sighing I laid back down, I figured that they probably separated us to prevent any future plans of escaping again.

Putting my hands behind my head, sitting as still as humanly possible I let myself freeze and I could hear my heart beating softly in the back of my head and in my chest and the blood pumping in my ears.

I always did this when I was either distraught or completely confused, both of which I was currently.

Blood always fascinated me. Even before Naruto came out, when it did I was around ten, I had always been fascinated with the red color of blood yet always attracted to the calming blue of the ocean. Sometimes, I would draw pictures of a red sea of blood stretching for miles and miles on end.

In fact, I have a tattoo of a red teardrop on my hip. I also had the Akatsuki cloud on the back of my right wrist but because of my gloves it wasn't visible.

I closed my eyes and just as I was drifting off into blissful sleep a presence alerted me.

I opened my eyes but as soon as I did they were met with Itachi's swirling red ones.

I gasped when I saw where I was. Seeing this world had just a dizzying effect as seeing Kiri for the first time.

I was standing freely, surprisingly, and Itachi was sitting across from me.

He brought his hand up and his finger curled in the universal 'come here' motion. I walked over to Itachi and he motioned for me to sit in the spot across from him. I did with extra caution. I was in his world, I had no idea what was going to happen.

As I thought, I realized this was the first time I've seen Itachi, and as all Uchiha's were, he was hot!

"I brought you here to have a private conversation with you. There are some things you must tell me."

I quirked my head, "like..?"

As a hint he said, "leader-sama should really sound proof his walls."

I smiled a small smile but it went away at his glare.

"What do you want to know?" I asked. If anyone, I trusted Itachi, even if I was going to die, I'd rather tell everything I know to Itachi and have him pass on the information then anyone else.

It's because I know he'll pass on what needs to be told. He won't tell Pein anything I spew out, he'll sort everything through carefully beforehand and he'll know what to do.

"Tell me about my brother. What becomes of him."

I took in a deep breath and let it out in the form of a sigh, "your brother," I started before pausing. I didn't really know what to say, would he get mad for telling the truth? I was hoping not.

"Go on."

"Oh sorry. Your brother does kill you, like you wanted. However, because of Madara he is convinced on clearing the Uchiha name by destroying Konoha."

Itachi looked at a point far off in the distance, not saying anything for a long while.

When he did speak, it scared me and I fell over, "I would like to familiarize myself with your mind before your fate is decided."

I quirked an eyebrow and smiled, "so basically your saying you want to be my friend before I die?"

"No, I want to learn the inner workings of your mind. I know you're the one who came up with the plan to escape the Akatsuki, seeing as the other one was here for two weeks without doing a thing."

"That's Amber for you."

"I also am intrigued that you escaped merely to save Sasori, even though he wanted to die."

I shrugged, "what do you want to know?"

"Let's start with your name. I haven't learned that bit of information yet."

"Oceanna."

"What village do you come from, your headband says Kiri but I don't find that believable."

I faced Itachi fully, "my my someone certainly is chatty today. I come from Washington."

He gave me an emotionless look, I just rolled my eyes and leaned back. Finding my heartbeat.

"As you've both stated several times, you're not from this world."

I stayed still as my heart steadied, "yeah. Pretty weird right? Now because the three of know everything about you guys we've basically dug our own graves. As Amber would say, 'we're in deep fucking shit now.'" I laughed at the comment, almost hearing her say it myself.

Itachi laid down next to me and sat still, not quite touching but I could still feel his presence.

"Explain to me about the entire fan thing. What does it mean."

I giggled a bit, "well in my world you're unfortunately not real. And all the time people make up stories and stuff all sorts of crazy things happen it's super insane and I love it. Anyway it usually involves the Akatsuki coming to our world or vise versa and somehow love is formed. Which in reality, is highly unlikely. Sometimes you guys would come in the forms of cat's in the stories. Why cat's I don't entirely understand myself. "

Itachi nodded slowly from the corner of my eye and he asked, "so I understand you are a fan of my partner, Kisame, and that your friend likes Hidan correct."

"Right you are."

"So who likes Tobi as I've heard."

"Luna. She's our third. I'd tell you the back story of how we met but it's a long and depressing tale."

Itachi made a noise, "welcome to my life. Do tell."

I smiled, "didn't know Uchiha's had a sense of humor. Alright well, I am twenty-eight by now, at least I'm guessing, Luna is eighteen and Amber is twenty-one. Amber had abusive parents and I'm leaving it at that. Luna lost everything and everyone she's ever loved. Her family all died in a car crash and unfortunately she tried to commit suicide by burning her house down.

"Once again leaving off there, since it's their stories I have no call on telling you, let me tell you a little bit about me. I had four siblings. Two older brothers, a younger sister, and surprisingly, a twin. And yes, a twin. No one knows about her because I don't want them to.

"Her name was Sadie and she unfortunately lived in my shadow. I was the perfect child so to speak. I was the prodigy, meant for great things. I was better than her apparently. I was smart, pretty, and nice. Funny too, and because of that she snapped. When we were younger all of us used to play together, but when my oldest brother moved to Florida to be accepted in the university, did the other stop hanging around.

"Mark was the oldest, and Adam was the second oldest. Those two were the best of friends and Adam never like us in the first place, it was Mark that warmed him up to us so when he left Adam cut all ties. When he was done with high school he went to off to live with his trash whore of a girlfriend, excuse me, and I haven't seen him since to this day.

"By this time I was about ten. Since Mark was twenty something and Adam was eighteen, Sadie the same age. And the youngest girl who was also daddy's girl, her name was Gracie. She received lot's of attention and because of that she grew to be a stuck up brat. Bossing her own sibling around as if we were owned by her. Therefore, Sadie was completely neglected because I was always busy with my life and when she snapped, she snapped.

"I came home one day, a day I'll never forget, blood was smeared on the walls, on the ceiling, embedded in the furniture. I was so terrified I didn't know what was happening. She was so angry, so mislead, it drove her insane. In the laundry I found her laying dead on the ground, she suffocated herself with a bed sheet. My bed sheet.

"Calling the police without hesitation I cried for days. Months even. And that's when Naruto came out,"

Itachi's head whipped towards me and I held my hands up trying to calm him, "Is that the show?"

I nodded, "when it came out I clung to it for dear life. I was sent to Washington to live with my Aunt and she cared for me dearly. I went to school normally. And that's when I met Amber and Luna."

With a sigh I finished relieving my terrible past. Believe it or not, but people really get like that. I know, because I've experienced it first hand.

Itachi said nothing further and for the next seventy-two hours everything was silent, give or take the idle chitchat we had along the way.

Just before the jutsu ended Itachi laid a hand on my shoulder. He said nothing, but I knew he was hoping I would live. We understood each other. Losing family is the hardest thing for anyone to get over, especially when someone else kills them.

Even though Itachi was the murderer and I would communicate more to Sasuke, we both understood it was an unintentional accident that was completely unavoidable. If it didn't happen, worse things would've happened. For me, my family would've fallen completely apart, considering the divorce our parent were planning.

We also knew, we wouldn't have ended up they way were. With such a deep understanding of how the world worked.

By the time I came to in the real world Itachi was long gone and my head was spinning.

I digested the past hours I've spent with the Uchiha and I found myself satisfied. We have lost so much, but we've gained a lot as well from it. Pain is knowledge and you can't grow without it.
