Chapter 11

Ever since Itachi saw Yuna again he was determined to be with the one he loved. Mai knew Itachi was planning to be with Yuna and she loathed Yuna for it.

One night, Itachi was walking through the woods. He left Mai and the boys, so he could rest and be without the pain and suffering of that house!

Suddenly, shadows appeared in front of Itachi. He figured that they were thieves, so he strolled past them.

"HEY!!!" One threw a knife at Itachi, only to have the knife be caught and thrown back at him.

Itachi was suddenly surrounded by at least 20 thieves, and was attacked. Pissed off and suddenly blood-thirsty, Itachi was ready to begin slaughtering. He kicked a thief and took his sword from him, and raised it in the air, ready to kill.

"ITACHI STOP," a feminine voice rang through his ears. A voice that reminded him of good memories, that voice belonged to his Yuna.

Itachi turned around sharply and saw Yuna. She was wearing a white gown and a silver-colored silk robe with decorations, which seemed to make her look like an angel as the moon shined on her. Itachi didn't even realize it, but she had longer hair, it reached her shoulders.

The rest of the thieves stopped, and backed away opening a path for Yuna.

"Is that really you?" Tears fell as she ran to him hugging him. He held her tightly.

"Lady Ako, is this man your…" one of the thieves words trailed off, he stepped back and let Yuna and Itachi talk.

"Itachi, I live here with these people," She said pointing to the men behind her.

"Yuna, they're thieves." He sneered looking at the thieves.

"Itachi, this is where Chitosh and I call home. Plus, they helped Chitosh and me after I was injured."

Itachi let go other her instantly as he remembered, "Yuna, I'm sorry. I couldn't protect you."

Yuna pecked him on the lips and smiled at him. "It's alright, come." Yuna walked ahead and apologized to the thieves.

"Ms. Ako you are too generous," the thieves smiled as they walked to their homes.

Yuna led him to where she lived. When they stopped, they entered a cave and that cave led to a waterfall. When they walked behind the falls, there was a whole new world. It was like a water wonderland, there were houses in trees and beside it were water fall, rivers, lakes, ponds, and beautiful flowers. Next to the flowing waters were houses, those sat high in trees and had stairs that led up there. The houses were made of wood and rocks, and they hid well behind the trees, it was good for hiding from a village raid.

Yuna and Itachi entered a giant tree, it was a wooden mansion. The wood and iron kitchen blended into the living room and there was stairs. Yuna led him up the stairs and opened a door.

"I'm guessing you're tired, so here's our guest room and bathroom," Yuna led Itachi in and closed the door.

Itachi grabbed the door and stared into Yuna's eyes asking," Where Chitosh's room?"

"Next to mine," Yuna pointed to a room that was next to hers. Leading him to Chitosh's room, Itachi looked around.

Chitosh's room was blue with a lot of toys lying around his bed and floor. There was an open door next to Chitosh's closet that led to Yuna's room.

Itachi walked towards the bed and saw his son sleeping. He rubbed his face, "I love you Chitosh. Please forgive your father, he has abandoned his son."

"Ok," Chitosh mumbled in his sleep, "I love…you…Mr. Dragon…" Chitosh trailed off.

Itachi gave Chitosh one last glance and walked out of Chitosh room, quietly closing the door.

"Good night Itachi," Yuna said and closed her door.

Itachi stared at the door, and walked away to sleep. Within a few minutes, Itachi woke up again. He needed to talk to Yuna, he needed to hold her. His nightmare, once again, made him want to hold Yuna tight and make sure she was alright. The nightmare of Deidara, he felt the blade pierce him and his last vision was of Yuna dying.

He flashed into her room and woke her up. "What," Yuna looked at him scared. When Itachi hugged her and started to tell her the he missed her, which surprised her even more.

"I want to live here with you, forever," Itachi said quietly.

"You can't you have a wife and kids," Yuna shook her head.

"She had taken care of me and I take care of those children. Sai & Kino. That woman, Mai claims the boy, Sai is mine, but I must concur," Itachi said, "Please I love you, you know I do. I've been thinking you were dead since I saw you again. Yuna," Itachi cupped her face and kissed her.

Yuna thought that it wasn't right because he was already with Mai. She knew that Itachi didn't even bring up Kino, but she melted into his kiss as she wrapped her arms around him. The night seemed to last forever for both of them...

Itachi ended up staying with Yuna, he learned she was pregnant; he was with her for the birth of Miku Shika Uchiha, but they just called her Shika as a nickname. Then he lived through Chitosh birthday's from his 4 to his 6th birthday and for Shika's first to 3rd birthday.

Life was good once again, but Mai not showing her face for the past years make everything better for Itachi. He felt bad to leave the kids there with her, but he knew he was meant to be with Yuna and their children. Itachi really wanted a big happy family with Yuna, but in the end that could never be possible.

When Yuna and Chitosh were getting food at the Market for Shika something terrible happened. Mai quietly appeared behind Yuna while she was grabbing a bad of rice and grabbed Yuna's head and cracked it!

"Itachi was and always will be mine, btch," Mai sneered as she turned on her heel and ran off.

Chitosh fell, his eyes wide tears falling. The people at the Market started to scream and yelling at Mai, she ran out of the market people following behind. Other people that stayed behind tried to shield Chitosh's eyes, but he kept on looking at his mother, just waiting for her to be alright and move. He saw her neck twisted in an unfavorable direction, as her eyes were wide, surprise still in them.

"MAMA," Chitosh cried, he slid out of the people's grasps and crawled over to his mother. He touched her neck feeling the bones, Chitosh's eyes shook as he felt green, and he turned his head to the side and vomited.

People grabbed Chitosh away from his mother as the police entered with Itachi. Itachi ran in with Shika but pulled her back when he saw his wife. He turned Shika around and said, "No Shika, don't look" Itachi picked her up and ran her over to Chitosh, who was continuing to vomit as the nurses and police officers surrounded the boy.

Chitosh looked at his father and sister, his eyes filled with tears as he started to cry. Shika walked over to Chitosh and comforted him. Itachi walked over to the police, he moved past the DO NOT CROSS signs and looked down at his wife.

"Y-Yuna," Itachi said, but when he didn't get an answer he snapped, "MAI, you evil witch!!" Itachi stormed out of the market. Shika looked at Chitosh, "We can't let daddy be sad alone, so let's all be together." Shika smiled sadly, and helped Chitosh up from the floor.

After that Itachi was never the same, he started to get crazier and got fantasy and reality confused. But when they had Yuna's funeral with flowers and her pictures Itachi lost it. Soon, too soon, Itachi had Chitosh and Shika live with Mai and her 2 kids. Whenever Mai tried to use the kids as bait to get her way, he told her off of and/or hurt her.

Chitosh and Shika were always together, but as she grew up and Ryu and the twins were born, Shika no longer loved nor believed this now crazy man that was supposedly her father. Chitosh was quiet ever since Yuna's death, he understood that his father loved Yuna and went crazy after her death, but he always stayed away from his father.

Itachi loved Chitosh and Shika, he was nicer to them behind closed doors than in front of others. Itachi completely hated Sai because he was turning out to be like Mai. He even got furious when Mai started calling Sai Fugaku.

Kino never had respect for Itachi and as he got older he hated him and the rest of the younger children feared him. Not only was she suddenly calling Sai, Fugaku to get him angry, she also said something that made Itachi kill her. When Sai corrected him and said that his name was Fugaku, Itachi cut the boy giving him a scar.

"My father, Fugaku, was a great man," Itachi said looking down at the bleeding boy. "Chitosh come here."

Chitosh came to his father, Itachi kissed his forehead, "This boy deserves Fugaku than you. You aren't worth holding that name; you are too much like Mai. She deserves nothing, like you do not unless you change your ways, and become a great child like Chitosh and Shika." Itachi kissed Chitosh again and looked at him, "Give that one to your sister, now go." Itachi smiled as Chitosh ran off.

"WHY do you treat them so kindly, you demon," Sai, now Fugaku yelled. When Itachi just walked away, that made Fugaku desire to be better than Chitosh and Sai, and make Itachi wish that he gave him more attention he deserved!!

One day, when Mai and Itachi were fighting Mai decided to spill some secrets, to hurt him. While the kids were away she told Itachi that she was a member of the Akasuki, when Itachi left she was told to ruin his life, so she did. She was the reason his life went downhill. She killed Deidara because he got in her way, and almost killed Itachi. Then she admitted to killing Yuna, and she said she was happy to do it. That made Itachi go even crazier and he killed Mai the exact way that Mai killed Yuna.

While the years past Itachi went from crazy to psychotic, he craved power and control. He scared the kids, and he continued to talk about a jewel that would make him stronger than death. He set off to find the jewel of Darkness on a small island off the coast of Kohana, not telling anyone where he was going except Chitosh and Shika. While he was gone Fugaku took over, he was an evil teen and he gave scars to Ryu and Kino, and he controlled them.

And Itachi…


" Itachi never returned. I know that he told you about the Jewel of Darkness and how he raided the village." Yuna said.

"Wow," Sasuke said, "So, Mai drove him crazy."

Hinata looked around nervously then said, "Sorry to go off topic, but how did you become the Angel of Life?"

Yuna smiled and spoke in her beautiful angelic voice, "Well, when I died I learned that my family line were all Guardians of Life. I died and saw my mother, she told me that whenever the mother would die she would take over her mother's spot as Angel of Life, and when the mother's daughter died the daughter would take over the mother's spot and so on. She said that it was a cycle, but if awoman didn't have a daughter or her daughter was not nice, she would choose an angel that she trusted. But this cycle only worked for the women in the family, and I guess that may be the same for the men with Death, but I don't know."

Yuna looked at Sasuke,"Sasuke, I told you this so you would understand your brother better, and not kill him without knowing why he was driven to insanity. I know what he did to your family, he told me before Chitosh was born. He just wanted to protect his brother, but he was also power-hungry. "

Yuna disappeared and then reappeared with small items in her hands, "The Lunar Eclipse probably will be starting when you get there. Use these items to seal him away. First find where Itachi will be returning on earth, and put these 4 seals around the area, make it in the shape of a cross. The seals will keep him at bay, while you put these pins next to the seals, 1 on each side of the seal, it will make him week," she showed them the seals and pins.

Then she continued, "And then you need to put this elixir in the center of cross. Please make sure the elixir is touching each of the seals and it is leading to the center," Yuna gave it to them in a large pouch, "It may sound easy, but it is going to be hard. Now, I will lead you to where I will send you two back to earth.

"You are going to allow me to go with Sasuke?" Hinata asked gripping Sasuke's shirt. When Yuna nodded Hinata hugged Yuna.

"Hinata remember, you are an angel. Angels can not stay on earth for very long so take this small potion, it will turn you into a mortal again," Yuna said as she led them to the platform.

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, as he entered earth once again. Sasuke readied himself for the FINAL BATTLE between him, Itachi, and the past.
