The next day Itachi and Hade went to see Pein and Madara. Both Akatsuki leaders looked at them with suspicion as they were both hand in hand, not caring to show how they truly felt about each other.
"What is it you want Itachi." Madara demanded, not even bothering to look at the kunoichi standing next to Itachi.
"We need your permission to leave the base and head to the Uchiha compound that's far to the west of the fire country. There are things I need to pick up." he said. Half of what he said was true, there was a place in that compound that included the Uchiha treasury and he was going to give Hade the money so she could run away if he died confronting Sasuke.
"There is nothing there except ruins Itachi..."
"I believe there are still things to do, there are unfinished matters to me there." Itachi did not need to elaborate anyfurther. He had no doubt in his mind Madara already knew what Sasuke's goal was now that Orochimaru was dead. Madara was also aware Hade knew nothing about Itachi's plan since Itachi had mentioned his plan to Madara in such an odd explanation.
"Very well, but Kisame will accompany you in case any trouble arises." Itachi and Hade nodded and gave a brief bow before exiting the room, hand in hand.
"I thought we couldn't kill Itachi yet." Pein said to Madara with curiosity.
"I have come to realize Itachi is of no longer use to me. I have everything I need in order to start the third great shinobi war." Madara said in a cold dark voice. "Sasuke is doing me a great favor in ridding me of this pest. And once he's done that I wil take him under my wing and set him loose against Konoha."
"What if Hade tries to interfere?"
"I don't need to wait for her to interfere...once Itachi passes on to the next world I will kill her myself."
"Tsunade-sama are you positive?" Enama said with her round eyes. Gaara took Enama's hand and gave it a comforting squeeze. When they had found out about Hade's capture they have sent their elite shinobi on the search to help Konoha. After two months they were just as unsuccessful as Konoha had been. Until now.
"According to Jaraiya's sources, they spotted Hade with Itachi and Kisame a day's away from the Land of Midari."
"That means one of Akatsuki's hideout is at least four days away! I can't believe Hade had been this close." Enama said with exitement. But a second later her face turned serious. "But what could she be doing with Itachi?"
"I hope she hasn't joined the Akatsuki because she still has feelings for Itachi but we have to be prepared for the worst. Right now I'm more worried about Sasuke being near here as well. I have a bad feeling they are going to be reuniting very soon."
"Then we have to do something."
"I already have our the rookie nine on it. They are following Sasuke's trail and they appear to be getting close."
"Let me go after them too, there might even be the slightest chance of seeing Kano and Kenta again."
"Enama-"
"Please Tsunade-sama, Hade-sensei might have already seen them I just want to help." Tsunade saw the determination in Enama's eyes and met Gaara's level stare before seeing him nod.
"Oh alright- but only if Gaara agrees to go with you since he is traveling with his own protective escort." Whenever Gaara left the village he was accompanied by at least thirty guards and that could be a huge advantage if they ran into any more Akatsuki.
"I will go with Enama wherever she goes." Gaara said and Enama beamed at him.
Outside the Hokage tower Enama jumped in Gaara's arms and kissed him sweetly on the lips.
"Oh Gaara thank-"
"There are conditions into letting you go Enama." Gaara interrupted and Enama sighed. "If bad comes to worst I am getting you out of there whether you like it or not. If Kano and Kenta have truly betrayed Konoha and try to harm you I will fight back." Enama could see in Gaara's eyes he was deadly serious and no amount of persuasion would change his mind. Enama smiled lightly at him before pressing her lips against as he wrapped his arms around her waist.
"I love you, you know that?" she said with a smile.
"More than you can imagine." Gaara whispered to her as kissed her lips again.
"Ahem." The two of them turned and saw Toshiru and Saya side by side with traveling backpacks. "I hope you don't mind if we join you on the search for my sister."
"No Toshiru-san, it would be better since you have the bond with your sister." Toshiru had the bond for a while but he hand't had an idea where to start looking for his sister until he heard Enama and Gaara were going to join the rookie nine to find Sasuke which meant they would find Hade. They were ready to go in just five minutes and prepared to head out before they were stopped by Tsunade.
"Before you leave I need to give you this." she handed them a scroll with a seal in the shape of a red vortex. "It's a teleportation scroll; the moment you open it, anyone standing within it's circle will be transported immediately here."
"Arigato Tsunade-sama." bowed Enama as she took the scroll. With one nod to her group they jumped into the trees with Toshiru as point. A few miles later Toshiru felt a small spark in his body and he smiled, glad to realize they were heading in the right direction. A miles further Naruto's group came to a sudden stop as Kiba and Akamaru smelled the air.
"What is it Kiba did you find Sasuke?" Naruto asked eagerly but became slightly disappointed when Kiba shook his head.
"No...we are being followed." He looked towards Hinata and nodded before activating her byakugan. She did a three mile search when her eyes stopped right behind Kakashi who was standing in the direction of north.
"Oh...it's Enama-chan!"
"Enama?" shouted Naruto.
"Hai...it she's accompanied by the Kazekage along with Toshiru-sama and Saya-san."
"My cousin?" asked Kiba. "What could they be doing heading this way?"
"Lets wait for them and find out." said Kakashi. Ten minutes later Enama's group stopped a few yards away from Naruto's group.
"Enama, Gaara what are you two doing here?" asked Naruto.
"We heard about Hade-sensei and decided to help. Toshiru-san has the bond with her so it'll be easy to find her now."
"The Bond? Toshiru...you just awakened it didn't you?" Kakashi glared at Toshiru who shrugged.
"I had to find her Kakashi. Are you following Sasuke's trail?" Naruto nodded. "I'm traking my sister, it seems the battle of Uchiha's is not far off."
"What do you mean?" asked Naruto.
"Hade is with Itachi, and Sasuke is after Itachi. If I'm correct about this, by following my sister's trail we'll find Sasuke as well."
"Then what are we waiting for?" Naruto shouted. Kakashi nodded and turned to Kiba and Toshiru.
"Lead the way you three." They nodded and jumped in the trees with everyone following close behind.
Don't worry sister we'll find you soon.
"Itachi why are we really here?" she asked as they arrived at and abandoned Uchiha building. It was amazingly enormous, almost as high as the mountain with the Hokages' faces. Kisame had gone to try and cover their tracks and patrol the perimeter in case Sasuke arrived.
"We're here to gather supplies." he simply said.
"For what?"
"Don't worry Hade, trust me." he said and she scoffed.
"Last time you said that I ended up seeing you covered in your family's blood." he flinched and Hade raised an eyebrow. Itachi never flinched like that before and she wondered why. "Itachi?"
"I know I've not given you much reasons to trust me after all that I've done." He turned to her and cupped her face in his hands. "But it's very important that you trust me completely now. I'm going to die soon Hade." The color left her face and her eyes widened.
"No, that can't be...the disease and your eyes...I-"
"My eyes are fine, but your medical expertize has only halted the disease...sooner or later it'll come back."
"But...no..." her eyes looked so sad it was breaking Itachi to keep going. "If we go back to Konoha, Tsunade-"
"It's too late for me to head back to Konoha, there's nothing left for me there."
"Of course there is..."
"What is left for me?" she brought up her hand and traced his lips.
"Me." he smiled at her and kissed her lips sweetly. "Itachi."
"Please don't, if you keep talking I'm afraid I'll break down and let you change my mind..." he groaned as his lips grazed hers.
"Then lets leave Itachi...start a new life." he sighed and pulled away a bit.
"I can't do that because...Sasuke's alive." Hade's hand left his face and she would have stepped away had he not been holding on to her.
"How..."
"Hade he's my brother, I know it's impossible for him to die without killing me first."
"So the reason we're here..."
"Is to get everything ready in case something happens to me."
"No! Itachi Sasuke's not going to kill you I won't let that happen!"
"Hade the only way to stop him is by killing him...and I know you wouldn't kill him."
"Please don't do this Itachi..." the tears that she had been holding started to roll down.
"Would you love a man who runs away?" he asked as he thumbed the tears away.
"I don't want you to die..."she sobbed. "I love you."
Itachi pulled her forward and kissed her fiercely on the lips as Hade flung her arms around him, holding him tight and refusing to believe itachi was getting close to leaving her side again...this time forever.
"Sasuke where are we going?" Karin said as they jumped from tree to tree.
"We are going to the Uchiha complex to get a few things." Sasuke said.
"But I thought all of the Uchiha property was in Konoha?"
"No, there are a few ruins that date back to the first Shinobi War. There is someone there that has what I need."
After Sasuke's fight with Deidara he was gravely injured but thanks to Karin he recovered quickly. Now they were heading over to see the CatLady in order to get the supplies he needed for his fight against Itachi. As they headed closer to it they saw someone jump on a branch a few yards away. Sasuke's eyes narrowed slightly as he took in the blond hair and black and orange jumpsuit. Naruto!
"Sasuke!" was all Naruto managed to yell before Sasuke's chidor infused katana cut him in half. A second later he disappeared with a puff of smoke.
Shadow clone, now he know's where I am I need to hurry.
"I found him!" Naruto yelled to Kakashi.
"Lead the way Naruto." said Kakashi as Naruto took a sharp turn to the left. Their persecution was short lived when a horde of kunai sailed their way. As the got closer they noticed the exploding tags and had only milliseconds to get cover before they exploded. When the smoke cleared they heard a sigh of disappointment.
"If only shinobi were killed that easily."
A cold shiver passed through Enama when heard that familiar voice.
"Don't be rash, remember he only wanted to stall them." another familiar voice said and Enama peeked behind the tree her and Gaara had hidden behind to see her old teammates standing side by side. Kano and Kenta Hatake.
"It can't be..." Enama said as Gaara looked from the other side of the tree and his eyes narrowed as well.
"Kano, Kenta!" it was Kakashi. He stepped out from his hiding place and stare at the twins with a look of disappointment.
"Hello uncle." said Kano, making sure to spit out the last word as if it was a dirty word. "Can't say I'm happy to see yah...not."
"Kano that's enough! Let us through!" yelled Kakashi. But Kano ticked her index finger from left to right.
" Afraid I can't do that Kakashi, I have a mission from Akatsuki. I can't let you stop Sasuke from getting to Itachi and dear sensei."
"Hade! Let us pass Enama!" Toshiru snapped as he jumped at Kano.
"Toshiru-san wait!" Yelled Enama but she couldn't stop Toshiru as he pulled out his sword and swung it at Kano. A devil smirk grew on Kano's lips as she flickered out of sight as the sword came down on her. She appeared behind Toshiru, grabbed him by the back scruff of his shirt and pulled him back. Then Kano raised her hand and punched him on the jaw, sending him flying into Saya who caught him.
"Toshiru are you alright?" He spat blood on the ground and glowered at Kano with a growl.
"I'm fine."
"Kano please, let us help our sensei we have to rescue her!" Enama came out from behind the tree and Kenta's eyes widened.
"Enama..." Kenta whispered. Kano raised her eyebrows at her.
"And who the hell are you?"
"What do you mean? It's me, Enama Hyuga! What the hell Kano don't you remember your childhood friend?"
Before Kano could answer she gasped as her head throbbed painfully. A smiling face two girls holding hands and laughing. But darkness filled her vision along with Madara's voice.
The five-tailed phoenix had the better life, you were nothing but her guard dog. She was never your friend; even your brother and your sensei liked her better than you.
Kano was on her knees and when she opened her eyes she realized Enama was kneeling next to her. Lips curled into a sneered as her eyes became red and deadly with hatred.
"You are not my friend...you are my enemy..." she growled. Enama only had time to cross her arms in front of her to block the kick Kano had aimed at her face.
"Kano!" Kenta snapped and Kano faced him with a kunai.
"He said we could stall them, he never said we couldn't fight." she sneered. "I am not anyone's slave, so shut up!"
Kenta's eyes turned as red as his sisters and his chakra spiked up. Kenta was never one to loose his temper so easily, but when things never went his way he was quick to loose it.
"Let us through!" Naruto yelled again. But the twins smirked at each other, their argument coming to a quick end and their swords drawn. Mischief smiles on their lips.
"Why the hurry Naruto? The fun is just getting started~"Kano sang and Kenta flickered out of sight.
"Naruto watch out!" Naruto turns and ducks just as Kenta's sword came close to decapitating him. Kiba sends a volley of kunais and Kano stands back to back with her brother and reflects them all.
"Is that all you guys can do?"
"Kano we don't have time to play with you two...we have a mission." Kakashi answered calmly. Kano sneered.
"It's always about the mission isn't it...you never did keep mom's promise. You never cared about us...or about your sensei's son."
Son? Naruto thought as he glanced at Kakashi who's eyes widened and his skin turned pale. Everyone knew the fourth hokage had been Kakashi's sensei, but no one had known the fourth had a son.
"You couldn't even take care of him for your sensei's sake...what would Minato say?"
"Enough!" Enama yelled before throwing a volley of kunais at Kano. Kano deflected them with her swords and smirked.
"The truth hurts Enama. Now what do you say we have some fun?"
"Itachi...did you really have to have the cat lady say that?" Hade asked Itachi as they arrived at another Uchiha compound, this one was more of a small house than the large building they've gone to two hours ago.
"It was the only way. I don't want Sasuke to know I'm not holding you prisoner or else he won't listen to you when you talk to him." Him and Kisame laid the equipment on the couch and walked towards the kitchen and took out a two bottles of water. Hade looked at Itachi with an arched eyebrow; everything in here looked clean and dust free. The refrigerator was filled with water and food, the living room was spotless and the walls even looked new.
"You had this planned since the beginning haven't you." he gave her just a hint of a smile and Hade rolled her eyes.
"I can't lie to you...most of the time." he smirked as he placed the water bottle on the counter and pulled her to him by her wrist. None of them noticed as Kisame rolled his eyes at them and exited the house, knowing fully well what Itachi was going to do. She placed her hands on his chest as he examined her face. His hand came up and he took a lock of hair between his fingers. Ever since Hade fixed his eyes everything had become into such sharp focus, like a dull painting suddenly gone majestic after applying extreme details to it. The colors just popped and became highlighted and everything took away his attention. The thing that fascinated him the most though was Hade herself, her skin looked so soft, her hair was lush, shiny and silky. Her lips were a soft pink and her eyes, oh how lost he got in those eyes! The eyes he was staring at right now were the most bright and soft honey hazel he had ever seen. They made his heart break when ever they filled with tears and made his heart beat a million miles and hour whenever they shined with lust or pure love like they were now.
"Itachi...make love to me..." Hade whispered as her lips brushed his. Without hesitation Itachi kissed her passionately as Hade flung her arms around his neck. His hands traveled down her arms to her waist and pulled her even closer and pressed their hips against each other. Itachi let out a low groan as he could almost feel the heat radiating off of her and his desire to get inside her grew stronger. Hade noticed this and began to slowly grind against him and was rewarded with a longer groan from her lover. He felt her smirking against the kiss and decided to give her a taste of her own medicine as his hands went down to grope her rear making the kunoichi moan in pleasure, giving him the chance to insert his tongue in her mouth. This made her grind a little faster against him, and before Hade knew it he had grabbed her thighs and lifted her up. He walked from the kitchen to the bedroom, bumping into things and making Hade giggle as she kissed his neck. When they got to the bed Itachi leaned backwards and he fell on the bed on his back with Hade straddling his hips.
"Hade..."he whispered and Hade smiled at him as she sat him up to off his shirt and then push him back down. She leaned towards him as her brown hair fell down like a veil over them. Itachi looked in amazement at how sexy and wild she looked from his angle on the bed with her eyes almost glowing intensely. She tilted her head and pressed her lips against him again, starting the kiss slow and gentle as she renewed her grinds against him. Itachi placed his hands on her hips and guiding her slowly. They did this for a whiled until Hade reached down and undid his pants with a jerk of her hands and slid them off him.
A millisecond later she was on her back and Itachi took her pants off with one swift move of his arm before his hands started sliding up her leg and a pleasurable shiver went up Hade's spine. He gave a small chuckle as he saw her underwear did not turn out to be panties but lace boy shorts. She had never been one to be girly enough to wear the kind of underwear that made men drool but to him those lace boy short made her look positively sexy. Then he placed his hands on her shirt and took it off her just as quickly and smirked when he saw it was a blood red bra. The way he was looking at her was so primal and hungry Hade felt heat radiate from between her legs and she sat up to pull Itachi into a searing heated kiss.
His hands caressed her in every possible way as he traced her body and loved the way she moaned after he had taken off her bra and caressed her breasts. He had tortured her so much to the point she was panting hard and she was begging for him to get inside her. When she noticed he wasn't going to listen she took off his boxers and flipped him on his back. With a low moan she pressed herself against him and he entered her; Itachi bit back a groan as pleasure assaulted him at being inside her and quickly placed his hands on her hips as she began to move. He forgot about everything, about Sasuke, Madara, the Akatsuki, the fact he was a rogue, his mission, everything left his mind. Everything except Hade, it was like he was in her room again when they had sex the first time and their only goal was to be together. He flipped Hade on her back and it was his turn to take over as he thrusted into her slowly but deeper and was satisfied when he heard her moan his name. His teeth grazed her shoulder and her hands moved up his arms to his back and dug her nails in when he began to pick up his speed. She brought her legs around his waist and both of them moaned as he went even deeper in her; Hade's head tilted back with a grimace of pleasure as Itachi kissed her shoulder and up to her jaw.
They took their time as Itachi kissed her everywhere while still moving within her and pleasuring her in different ways. He loved making her moan and cry out his name when he kissed her or thrusted up against her perfectly. Soon they were panting and moaning out each other's name as they got closer and closer to their breaking point.
"Itachi...aaah...I think...oh god..." she moaned as Itachi went harder and deeper against her. He didn't need to hear her say it he could feel it as she gripped him tighter and she bucked faster against him making him getting closer to joining her. He buried his face in the crook of her neck as he went even faster and kissed her neck. It was too much as Hade's head snapped back, colors exploding across her vision, her back arched of the bed and she cried out Itachi's name with a moan. Itachi's breath was forcefully knocked out of his lungs as she came and her walls clenched tightly against him and decided to join her in her climax in short deep thrusts as he came and he moaned out her name with broken groans. The kept moving as they came back from the pleasurable high until they were still and panting heavily. They stayed like that for a while, as their breathing returned to normal and their hammering hearts slowed down to a steady rhythm. Itachi then pulled out of her and collapsed next to her in the tangled bed-sheets. Then Itachi got behind her and pulled her to him as he placed his arms around her waist and gently kissed her shoulder and neck.
"Itachi...this was..."
"I know...and let me tell you I'll never regret doing this, ever." she looked back at him and sighed.
"But what about-"
"Don't," he begged and kissed her lips again. "let me enjoy this with you just this one last time. We'll face the consequences later...please, just let me be irrational and stubborn just this once."
He kissed her cheek and she fought to not let tears spill from her eyes as she pressed herself as much as she physically could to Itachi.
"Itachi...Ashiteru." Itachi's lips pulled up in a smile and he kissed intensely.
"Ashiteru, Hade."
