/kanae/
your scar on your chest finally healed and zabuza said he would help you train. you been training for a month, but you couldn't do anything he was teaching. "zabuza i can't do this." you said throw a throwing knife at the target only hitting a tree. "we'll find something you can do." zabuza sighed, he was almost ready to give up also. haku walked by, "hey kanae, i think this is your? i found it in your jacket." haku handed you an musicplayer. "i guess i'll go hunt, kanae you keep trying, haku try help as much as you can." said zabuza before he disappeared. "ok, kanae...lets try this again." said haku. you showed him what you were having trouble with. he helped alittle and with his help you were able to hit a target or two. you were getting better with haku's help alittle better than zabuza's help. maybe because haku is a year younger than you and understand your problem better than zabuza.
at the end of the day you were able to hit 10 targets. that was a big improvment on your part. you were tired and needed a bath. "you did really good, i'll talk to zabuza into letting me help you til you get better." haku smiled. you nodded and went to bathe. you grabbed some clothes and a towel. you let the water run over your body. you scurbed your body and washed your hair. you got out and looked in the mirror. you looked at your not scar, it was darker than your skin tone, almost redder, and it welted up, a blind man could run his hand over it and read it. you sighed and got dressed. zabuza came back and haku explained what happened today. "ok you help her with the easy stuff then when it comes time i'll teach her the hard stuff." said zabuza places down the rabbits he caught. "ok sounds good to me." haku said smiling.
you walked out to get some water. "so 't do it, how's it feel to finally do something?" zabuza teased alittle. you giggled and smiled. "good, i can't wait to learn more." you said sipping your drink some more. "good, now away help me skin these?" he asked holding up the dead rabbits." you took one look and fainted. you never had to really deal with anything dead looking. "zabuza! that was mean!" you heard haku yelling. "sorry i didn't know she would act like that." zabuza said trying not to laugh. "well help get her on the couch." haku sighed you felt zabuza's arms under you for a few seconds before the soft couch on your back. "well, haku i guess its just me and you skinning these again." zabuza said laughing. "i think we'll always have to do that." haku sighed.

you woke up and got faith read to go to the hospital, kakashi said there was someone you might know and they could use the help. you got dress and sasuke got dressed too. kakashi was waiting outside your door. "ready to go?" he asked. you nodded. and you walked to the hospital. "we came to see the girl who is in the coma." kakashi said to the nurse. "right this way please." she smiled and walked down the hall. you passed 5 doors before stopping. she openned the door. you also dropped faith in shock. "JADE!" sasuke yelled before you. you and sasuke rushed to her side. you could see her burised eyes and neck. cuts on her arms and legs and a huge warp around her stomach. "we found her bearly alive." said the nurse. you rubbed her cheek. "oh jade, i should've stayed, i'm sorry jade." you whispered. "sir...do you know her?" asked the nurse. "its my wife..." you muttered out. kakashi walked up to you, "would you like me to take faith and you talk to the nurse?" he asked.
you nodded and handed faith to kakashi. "come on sasuke. let's go get some ice cream." he said. "ok." sasuke said and followed. the nurse pulled two chairs into the room. you sat down. "ok we need to ask you some questions of all you know about her." the nurse said. you nodded and told her everything you know. from her height and weight, to what she loved doing on mondays to fridays. she wrote anything you said down and told you they would call when they get something. you smiled and kissed jade's forhead. "i love you..." you whispered and walked out. kakashi was feeding faith while sasuke was finishing his ice cream. "so...everything ok?" asked kakashi. you nodded with a sigh. "i'm relieved yet even more worried now..." you said. "understandable." said kakashi. "let go to the park and let sasuke work off that ice cream before we get lunch." kakashi said smiling.
you smiled and followed kakashi to the park. sasuke went to play and right away you notice little girl were eyeing him. "aww..seems like we got a lady killer on our hands." you laughed. "oh no, poor sasuke." kakashi shook his head, sure enough sasuke was running away with 3 girls chasing him. you and kakashi laughed. you watched as some kids scared some of the girls away, one girl seem more of a tom girl and played with the boys along with sasuke. you help faith rubbing her little hand with your finger, she soon grabbed you finger. "i think its cute when they do that." kakashi said looking down at faith. you smiled. "yea...this is my 1st child...i'm still learning, and with jade in a coma...i don't know what to do, if kanae was here..." you said looking down. "kanae?" kakashi asked. "yes...my little sister...well adopted sister." you said shrugging alittle. "oh i see, she died too?" kakashi asked. "i..don't know," you thought. "i didn't think about looking for her after i got faith." you said wanting to cry. of all people, you didn't look for kanae...you promised you'd watch over her and you failed. "hey...i'm sure she's fine. maybe she got away." kakashi said trying to cheer you up some.
you and kakashi got ready to go, sasuke fell asleep and kakashi carried him. "i'm sorry about that." you said shaking your head. "oh its ok, i'd be tired to if i had girls after me." you and kakashi laughed as you unlocked your door to the appartments. kakashi carried sasuke into his room and you laid faith into her crib. "i got to get going, i have missions to do tomorrow and get ready for." kakashi said heading for the door. "oh ok, be careful, we'll hang out again when you get back." you said watching him leave. "yep yep, see you later." kakashi said and left. you sighed and sat on your couch. "jade..i'm so sorry.." you kept whispering to yourself. you cried then faith began to cry, you rushed into your room to see someone holding faith. "shh its ok little one, i won't hurt you." he whispered. "who are you...put my child down.. now." you demeaned.
the person turned and you saw it was itachi. you pulled out your knife, but by the time you got it. itachi was behind you with his sword to your throat. "now now daiki...would you really put your own child in danger?" he asked, "drop it." he said pressing the sword more onto your neck. you growled and dropped your knife. "good, i came to talk to you." he said letting his sword down and sitting on your bed with faith. "ok...just..don't hurt her." you said almost a begging. "oh i don't plan on hurting her, as long as you do as i say." he said smirking. you gulped. "kanae is missing. i want your help." he said staring as you as he rocked faith. "you didn't kill her?" you asked in a relief voice. "if i was really that heartless to kill kanae, this child would be in pieces right now. but yes she is alive." he sighed. "i scared her off and i thought she'd head this way but she didn't. she's missing and i want your help. find someone to watch this child and search for kanae, i don't care what vallage you have to go to. you'll help me find her." he stood up and held a knife to faith. "or the child will suffer greatly, just as your wife did." itachi smirked. "you almosted killed her." you growled.
"calm down, i only hurt her, i knew where to cut and slice without killing, but making things very very painful. she didn't die or go into a coma because of me. she's in that coma now cause of loss of blood and that big hole in her stomach. which by the way do you know where that came from?" itachi eyed you. you went white, you harmed your wife more than itachi did. "i have a thing for pregnant women. i would have killed you if you were home, but i couldn't come to kill her. this motherly look in her eyes still haunts me as i cut her." itachi explained what all he did. the more he talked the more you became angry. "so you'll help me. you have a week to help me." itachi walked up to you and whispered in your ear. "or i will come back for your wife and child." he handed faith to you and beforeyou could think he was gone. you fell to your knees holding faith.
/now/
its been a month since itachi told you to help. jade came out of the coma so she now stays home with sasuke and faith. you were so happy whenyou head the news of jade waking up. you smiled as you kept looking. you looked where itachi told you to look while he went to another village. you asked everyone and still no one has seen the girl. "this is crazy." you whispered. it was getting late so you stayed in a INN and slept there for the night. you showered and laid in bed. hopefully tomorrow will bring better news.
/itachi/
you were now in the vallage of dance&music. everyone was so cheery and no matter where you turned music was all around. what seemed weirder, everyone looked like that could be related to kanae..."maybe...this is her home? maybe this is where she came from?" you whispered. you shook the thought out of your head and asked around, no one had seen her but some said they would tell their hokage about her. you thanked them. it was getting late and you were about to leave til you heard. "pst...pst young man...over here down here." you looked and noticed a woman covered in dirt and mud in a prison like window in the ground. "you are looking for kanae?" she asked. "yes do you know where i could find her?" you asked. "no i'm sorry...but when you find her. please as a dying woman's wish, give her this letter." she said as a shaky hand reach up with a letter in her hand. you nodded and took the letter. "i will...can i ask your name?" you asked but when you looked up from looking at the letter, she was gone. "hello? miss?" you called out. but no anwser.
you shrugged and headed back to the headquaters. "any luck young itachi?" asked the leader. "no..." you muttered and walked past to your room. you sat onto your bed and looked at the letter. you wanted to read it...but you put it on your nightstand for now. you laid on your bed and thought about what was going on. you thought about where she could be. "where could she have gone!" you yelled slamming your hand onto the nightstand. you almost wanted to cry it was so annoying. you sighed and went to go take a shower. you washed up and got dress and went to bed.
/itachi dreaming/
"kanae! kanae!" you yelled looking for her. you heard little giggles and ruffle along some tree tops. "you know for someone who sucks at being a ninja, you find like one though." you said. "I DO NOT SUCK-WHOA" you heard her yell and crash onto the ground, you jogged to where you heard her to find her laying upside down. "ow.." she groaned looking up at you. you laughed before helping her up. "you ok?" you asked. she nodded and laughed. you two were heading homeafter a long day of playing. you were at her doorstep. "i have to leave for missions tomorrow kanae." you said with a blush. "i was wondering...if we could share our first kiss?" you asked looking up at her. she blushed and kinda hid her face. you took her hands and pulled her close. you lifted up her chin and you looked into her eyes. you both blushed as you both leaned in, she was so close you could taste her before your lips brushed against hers. "HEY ITACHI! ITACHI!"
/end/
you opened your eyes to hear kisame banging on your door and calling your name.
