WTR 10:That's unlikely that you know me at all…..

-Kisame….but why would he attack Itachi? - Sasuke thought hard about this information, and to him thing did not seem to add up.

"What did they say to each other Hikaru?" Sasuke asked him.

"They were saying something about a thing called the Akatsuki…." Hikaru answered.

"Akatsuki….?"

-_-_-_-_-_-_-Hikaru's past-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-

"Kisame, I know it's you, show yourself!" Itachi demanded yet his voice was as calm as ever, he only shows slight anger on his face.

Low laughter was heard as the wind started to pick up again, making Itachi pull Hikaru closer to him. Kisame appeared in front of the two Uchiha, he looked the same as ever, blue and sickly. He wore a sinister smile and an inhumanly look that was addressed to Hikaru. Itachi seen this and quickly spoke to the gilled man in front of him.

"What is your reason for being here; I have nothing to do with any of you anymore!" Itachi's voice was still calm but it was starting to sound a bit deeper as anger was slowly making its way to him.

Kisame let out another low laugh which did nothing to Itachi but make him more irritated of the man in front of him.

"Don't worry, I'm only here to reason with you is all, there's no need for a fight if there doesn't have to be, right?" Kisame looked strait into Itachi's eyes and gave a small smirk.

"You have no mind at all to just leave, there is no reasoning that has to be done, I made up my mind seven years ago and that's just how it's going to stay…." Itachi gave Kisame a deathly glare.

Kisame didn't care for that answer and pressed the matter more.

"You can't just make up your mind and leave, that's quitting and I thought Uchiha never quit…..or maybe you are just scared for your little boy's safely…." Kisame gave a sly smirk that sent shivers down Hikaru's spine.

"I just simply retired, that is all you need to know!" Itachi simply put his words out without any facial emotion, but on the inside he was starting to lose his composure.

"There is no such thing as retired in this game, once you're in you won't be able to get out!" Kisame hissed.

Itachi glared angrily at Kisame.

"That might have been a game to you, but it was never one for me! I did what I had to do and you should do the same!"

"You only left because of that rotten child; you put all your effort into keeping him alive when you could just simply get rid of him!" Kisame glared back but his eyes were locked on Hikaru.

Hikaru hid himself behind Itachi's legs and buried his face deeply into the back of Itachi's knees.

Itachi looked down at him.

"Don't be afraid Hikaru…" Itachi spook to him caringly. "I will not let him hurt you…"

Hikaru still looked frightened but none the less looked into Itachi's eyes and nodded.

Seeing that Hikaru was alright, Itachi turned his attention back to the now chuckling Kisame.

"What's wrong with the pest, did I scar him?" Kisame joked only making Itachi angrier with him.

"Don't ever use such degrading words toward my son or the next time you open your mouth to, I'll knock out ever bone in your body and make you really look like a shark!" Itachi retorted coolly making Kisame quiet and Hikaru shiver with the thought of a boneless person in front of him.

"So you say…." Kisame lowly said as he looked at the irritation on Itachi's face.

"Kisame, leave now, there is nothing else I need to hear from you!" Itachi turned around and gently garbed Hikaru's hand to leave.

Kisame shot a piercing glare to Itachi's back. Hikaru felt it and shivered once again.

"Don't turn away from me!" Kisame demanded.

"Papa…." Hikaru looked up at Itachi's face worried.

"Go hide somewhere near by Hikaru and don't come out until I come for you." Itachi gently demanded.

Hikaru was now more worried than before and Itachi's eyes were not making him feel any better. Not wanting to be on his father's raging side, Hikaru simply nodded and let go of Itachi's hand. He looked up at his father once more before running off to a distant safe area.

As Hikaru ran off he looked back to meet eyes with Itachi, shock ran over the young boy's pale face. Itachi was watching him run off to a safer area and shortly after he done something that Hikaru has only seen once before in his life.

"Papa's eyes…..their red again…..just like that time before!" Hikaru watched as Itachi turned around to meet Kisame's piercing eyes.

"Papa……what's wrong with your eyes….?" Hikaru ran up into a tall oak tree. He hid himself behind some branches that were filled with leaves, but found an opening were he could see the fight.

"……please be safe papa…." Hikaru looked out through the leaves.

Itachi stood in front of Kisame, his anger was high and his eyes were red.

"You really want to use the sharingan one me, it won't work, I know all your tricks!" Kisame shouted and laughed at Itachi.

"You don't know the half of what I can do; all you have seen was just a very small piece of it!" Itachi had no emotion when he looked at Kisame.

"Just try it!" Kisame shouted as he ran toward Itachi.

Itachi stood there in the same spot unmoved as Kisame rushed towards him.

"You don't dare to move?! How foolish of you!" Kisame gabbed a kunai tightly in his hand. He reached Itachi's neck.

"Move papa!" Hikaru sat in the tree with fear for his father's life.

Kisame stopped midway to Itachi's neck. He looked at Itachi as he stood in a frozen state. He heard Itachi walk over to his move less body. He started to panic.

"Am I-?!" Kisame was cut off by Itachi's voice.

"You're in my world now….." Itachi whispered from the shadows.

Kisame looked around in more panic.

"Where the hell is he?! Where is he hiding?!" Kisame looked around violently.

"Where the hell are you, come out and face me Itachi!" Kisame shouted to the shadows.

Hikaru still looked on in a clueless state.

"What is he talking about; papa is right in front of him, has he lost his sight?" Hikaru looked at Kisame's frozen body.

Then he looked at Itachi.

"What's going on, papa is just standing there and can he really not see him?"

"Damn this Genjustu!" Kisame hissed looking deep into the darkness of the area he was in.

"He's just trying to get to my head, it won't work…." Kisame kept his eyes on the darkness.

"Where the hell are you?!" Kisame shouted once more with anger in his voice.

There was a laugh that came from behind Kisame.

"I'm right here!" With that Itachi took his kunai that he tightly held in his hand and stabbed Kisame quickly and deeply in his mid back.

Kisame hallowed in pain as his body hit the ground. Itachi stood above him with the kunai still in his hand.

Hikaru seen his body fall roughly to the ground as his father stepped forward.

"You are not and will never be a mach for me; you can't meet my abilities….." Itachi looked down at his with no emotion as like before.

Kisame just looked back up at him with a face of defeat and anger.

See as how Kisame was not saying anything, Itachi turned to leave. Kisame seen this and quickly grabbed Itachi's ankle making Itachi come to a stop.

"I'll return but I won't be alone next time, let's see you get away from us then…." Kisame was breathing heavily as blood seeped away from his mouth and back.

"And when that time comes, I'll be waiting……." Itachi moved his foot to leave and when he did Kisame dropped his hand.

"You better be……." Kisame laid in his own blood as the wind of the winter weather washed over him.

Itachi walked quickly to where Hikaru was hiding. He reached the tree shortly after.

"Hikaru it's safe to come down now, he can't hurt you!" Itachi called up to him.

"I'm coming papa!" Hikaru called back as he started to clime back down the large tree.

Hikaru climbed down most of the way and turned his head to the side. He seen that Itachi held his arms out telling his to jump.

"Can you fall from there or is it too high?" Itachi asked him.

"No, I can do it!" With that Hikaru let go of a branch he was hanging on and fell right into Itachi's waiting arms.

He chuckled as he hit his father's arms and Itachi gave his a smile.

He put Hikaru gently on the ground and searched over his body to see if he was hurt or had any rips in his clothes.

Seeing as how Hikaru was fine he grabbed his hand and started to walk.

"Are you alright papa?" Hikaru asked as he walked on with Itachi.

"I'm fine now the is no need to worry about me Hikaru, Its you I was worried about….." Itachi sighed at the last part.

"I'm fine now too see?" Hikaru let go of his hand and turned around in a circler motion.

Itachi chuckled at Hikaru's little spin.

"Yes Hikaru, I see that now." Itachi took his hand again.

"Papa…….?" Hikaru grabbed Itachi's attention.

"Yes?" Itachi turned to him.

"What was all that back there, your eyes……were red just like that time before." Hikaru looked up at Itachi for some answers.

Itachi was quiet for a short time then turned to Hikaru.

"I'll tell you about it later, you don't need such thing in you mind at this moment…." Itachi turned to him.

"But pa-"Itachi nodded his head no.

"Trust me Hikaru, when the time is right, I'll tell you, I promise." Itachi told him.

Hikaru looked at him taking in his words.

"I understand…." Hikaru answered.

"Good, now that that we have that settled, how about we get something to eat?" At this Hikaru's face lit a bright smile.

"Yeah, I'm starving!" Hikaru agreed.

"Papa, after we eat can we get some Hi-Chew candy please?" Hikaru asked hopping Itachi would say yes.

"Sure Hikaru, what ever you like." Itachi smiled down at him and Hikaru did the same.

"Yes, Hi-Chew candy!" Hikaru cheered as the walk down a path to a close by village.

Itachi chuckled at Hikaru then looked up at the winter sky above.

"I'm just glad he's safe….." Itachi continued to look up at the sky not realizing Hikaru let go of his hand and was now running in front of him.

"Hurry up papa before all the good flavors are gone!" Hikaru called back to Itachi as he ran on ahead.

"Hikaru wait, the candy will still be there!" Itachi called back to him as Hikaru ran off laughing.

Itachi ran after him laughing as well.

-They might come for us then, but now I'll just stay here and protect my son from harm, protect him from their harm….-Itachi thought as he ran after the laughing Hikaru.

JUST SOME INFO

Kisame is not dead, he is just severely wounded. Yes I know Itachi Is a huge OOC in this one and that's the way I like it so there won't be any change to that. Some would say having a child changes a person. That's what it is like for Itachi.

Hikaru is still not to the part where he had to run away, I should get to that point in the next chapter or so, so just stay with me!

Oh and that whole fighting scenes, I'm not very good at that so if you have any problems with it…..I'm sorry and don't send me any reviews telling me that I should try harder on that. For your information I am giving this thing my all so keep you distasteful comments to yourselves. Thank you!

Other than that this is vegemaru over and out!
