Never Meant to Be

I DO NOT OWN NARUTO… but I do own Itachi's past and Sasuke's problem and Yuna Ako.

CHANGE Yuna's children are – Chitosh 17 and Shika 15Mai's kids are – Fugaku 17, Kino 16, Ryu12, and the Twins 10. Itachi's Children in age order: Fugaku, Chitosh, Kino, Shika, Ryu, and the twins…

Author's Note: Oh and there are Latin words I got from a translator. ((Oh Olympus oh terra means oh heaven of earth. Heh, it's the mysterious and foreign language Yuna is chanting))

Itachi, the S-ranked, cold-hearted killer, actually had a heart. He wasn't always a blood-thirsty murderer, or a heartless demon.

He actually had a heart. Who knew?

Uchiha Sasuke could not believe this was real, his brother, Itachi, had a heart? Yeah right, but… it seemed so believable, his children's birth it all made sense.

Sasuke walked onto the platform that was engraved with ancient writings.

"Are you ready Sasuke, Hinata?" Yuna asked them. When they nodded and gave the 'ok' she continued, "Sasuke, you are new at this. You are falling at a tremendous rate, you will feel like gravity, itself, grabbed you tightly and is pulling you to the earth. Do not fret, you are just falling. Relax and just allow yourself to fall."

Sasuke nodded and looked at Hinata with a confused look, "Falling, gravity?"

Hinata gave out a giggle. She spoke in her angelic voice, "You are falling through the space that separates heaven and earth. Heaven and earth's gravities are pulling against each other there. So it will be difficult to pass through if you aren't prepared for the pressure of gravity, ok?"

"Whatever, it's not like I understand this place anyway," Sasuke snorted and turned away.

Yuna raised her hands into the air and chanted in a mysterious language, "oh Olympus oh terra."

The clouds surrounding the platform disappeared and turned into space. The stars shinned, the Milky Way gleamed, and meteors flew by. The platform slowly faded away, but the symbols still shinned with iridescent colors.

Hinata grabbed Sasuke's hand and closed her eyes. Eyes closed, Sasuke gripped Hinata's hand tighter and readied himself for the fall.

"Use what I told you as a way to defeat Itachi. Please tell him," she paused, "No never mind, thank you Sasuke. Thank you, Hinata, for being my assistant and helping me face my fear," Yuna smiled. She lifted her hands into the air.

Sasuke squeezed his eyes ready for the fall; he gripped Hinata's hand tighter.

'Even now, I can still hear Yuna's dress make the sounds of the ocean and the birds singing,' Sasuke thought. 'For the Angel of Life, her personality isn't all that "alive" nor is her past. '

Thinking about Yuna, he thought about what she had told him. Yuna told him about the birth of Itachi's children, and the death of Itachi, Mai, and herself.

Flashback

Yuna paced around making her dress fly around as if there was not any gravity surrounding her at all. In reality, or heaven, there is some gravity.

That is why angles fly even if they had such small wings. No angels fly for a long time on earth without being pulled down to the ground. That is why when people say they saw an angel standing in front of them. The angel couldn't fly because of gravity.

"Fugaku once named Sai was first born, then a few months later my Chitosh, then Kino, Shika, Ryu, and the Twins, Hanna and Hitomi. Oh, yes, I am loosing my train of thought, let's continue. Anyway, when Itachi blacked out…"

Itachi blacked out. When he awoke he was on a bed, being treated by a woman with black hair and beauty marks all over her face with a baby boy.

"Uchiha Itachi," the woman said, a smile forming on her sink lips. She ringed out the towel and put it over his cut.

Itachi forced himself to remain awake, he saw a baby boy staring at him. He reminded Itachi a lot of Chitosh, but he looked a lot more like Uchiha Fugaku.

"Hi," the baby said and waved at him, "I'm Sai, im gwunna bwe 4!"

Itachi gave the boy a little smile and tried to wave back. He closed his eyes and relaxed. Sai reminded him of Chitosh so much. Too bad he didn't know that Sai was his child.

Chitosh… Yuna… Deidara

Itachi's eyes widened and he got up. " NO!! Chitosh, where is my son?" Itachi yelled at the woman.

"You son is right there," She pointed to Sai, she smiled, "You may not have remembered me. I'm Mai and this boy is your son, Sai." She picked up the boy and hugged him, giving Itachi a wicked smile.

"You are a crazy woman! That is not my son," Itachi glared at her.

"Am I? I am only a woman with a son and his father denies his existence. Why do you think Sai looks so much like your father? Hm?"

Itachi stood on his feet only to fall. Cursing under his breath, Itachi saw Mai hold small knifes. Then he looked at his leg, a few knives were in his calf and ankles.

"You're not going ANYWHERE!!! You are a weak piece of trash, "Mai said coldly. Then her tone changed into a cheery one, "but I love you and you WILL be my S-ranked Criminal- lover."

"Do you not care if you child sees this evil side of you? Look at the boy," Itachi pointed towards Sai. The boy just stood there with a stoic expression, watching his mother cause Itachi in pain.

"You know NOTHING about my son! He watches his mama kill. It's nothing new; you shouldn't be talking about what a child sees. You massacred your entire clan in front of your baby brother," Mai said coldly.

Itachi glared at her, 'How does she know that,' Itachi thought trying to stand, but his body wasn't listening and stayed on the floor.

"Now shut up and sleep!!" Mai lifted her knife above her head and plunged it downwards at Itachi. Once again, everything went black.

Mai practically disabled Itachi that he ended up needed her to help him. She injured his legs and arms; she was a very powerful woman. A year after that event, Mai once again had Itachi's child. Kino was born and a year after that Yuna returned to Itachi.

Where was Yuna since the last year? After Deidara stabbed Itachi, he was about to slice his head off, but Chitosh was telling Deidara not to touch his papa.

What really happend was that Mai appeared and killed Deidara. How she did it is unknown, but she maimed him.

She told Chitosh to take care of his mother and she left with Itachi's body, ignoring the cries of Chitosh calling to his father.

Yuna was in and out of consciousness, but she forced herself to remain awake for Chitosh. In the end Chitosh took care of his mother, until she was healthy by getting her berries, water, herbs, and etc.

Together they lived for each other, until 2 years later when they saw Itachi again. By that time Chitosh and Sai were both 4 and Kino was 2.

Carrying Chitosh on her back she walked out of the lake, she dressed herself and dried Chitosh.

"Your hair was so dirty, but it's so clean now," Yuna put Chitosh's dried clothes on him. Yuna wiped all of the water off Chitosh face and hair, but she suddenly froze in her spot.

"Itachi?"

Chitosh turned around and Yuna looked at the figure of Itachi.

Letting out a dry laugh, Itachi ran to them and held them tight. "I'm so sorry, sorry, sorry," he kept on whispering to them squeezing them tighter. He felt tears roll down his neck as he held them tighter.

"Who are you," a feminine voice demanded in the background. Itachi let goof them and glared at the woman behind him.

Yuna and Chitosh, wiping away tears, saw two boys. One was a toddler in her arms and the other was a 4 year old.

"Oh, so this is your new family huh?" Yuna said sadly. Yuna grabbed Chitosh and turned her back to Itachi, she felt Itachi's aura, it held pain and guilt trailed behind her.

"Mommy, who's that lady," Chitosh asked Yuna.

"Daddy's new "friend"," Yuna's voice cracked. She fastened her pace and left Itachi and Mai.

"Your old family huh, well, you don't need them now because you have me. Right, rat," Mai spat at him. How can Itachi take this now? Oh yea, he's been a changed man since he's been with Yuna, he's weak he can't harm a woman, but he knew he could. He remembered his blood lust, but swallowed it back.

If those kids weren't there he'd kill her, but he didn't because he was a new man. He wasn't the same S-ranked Criminal anymore, he was a caring father. His new "lover"- if you call it that- was an evil, controlling witch and used the children as bait to get her way. He knew she'd probably make him snap; she'd probably turn him into a killer again. He was positive that witch would make him go insane.

He didn't know how right he was...
