Dakishimetai Noni

Disclaimer: I DO NOT OWN NARUTO!

I am very sorry about the long wait again. I had to get a new tower for my computer and then it wasn't realizing the disk drives were there and I couldn't get anything to work. But it's all better now and I should be getting the ending chapters out soon.

Sasuke followed the scent of the caped captor. He had to hurry! His babies were in danger and he would not be able to live with himself if they were harmed because of him.

Sasuke slid to a stop as he entered the middle of the maze like basement. Looking around there were various metal tables. It reminded him of Orochimaru's dungeon. He heard a faint cry to his right. His head snapped in that direction and he saw the smirking fake Sasuke holding little Yuki. Her large doe like eyes were closed, tears running down her chubby baby face. Sasuke snarled and flexed his wings, ready to jump onto the caped man if need be.

"You put her down, and leave this instance and you will not be harmed too much. You lay one FINGER on her and your DEAD!" Sasuke growled, his ruby red orbs glowing brighter with his rage. His fangs lengthened dangerously as the fake Sasuke rocked the still crying Yuki. Sasuke's eyes gained three black little tomoes as his pale moonlight skin darkened to ashen gray. The inky black feathers burst from his wings as they turned and morphed into grey hand like appendages. His hair lightened and grew, becoming spikier and reaching the middle of his back. He growled in rage as the fake Sasuke cooed to the crying Yuki. His eyes narrowed as Yuki suddenly screamed. Her crying was increasing as the fake Sasuke smirked devilishly.

"It seems my little disguise cannot fool the weak Halfling. She can sense I'm not you." Sasuke's eyes widened as a gasp escaped as Yuki was suddenly thrown into the air. His hand like wings propelled him into the air, his arms outstretched as the frightened Yuki landed softly in his arms. Sasuke cooed softly to her as he slowly floated back to the ground. His red eyes darted to the morphing figure, the cape still covering his face. It was really starting to piss him off. Yuki lessened her tears as she sensed her parent nearby, her coal eyes slowly opening. Sasuke held her close, his hand like wings shielding her from the monster in front of them.

"You have some nerve! Your as good as dead now!" Sasuke yelled. He gently sat Yuki down on a pile of his inky black feathers. His ruby eyes glared at the chuckling form.

"You'll be as good as dead soon. A weakling as yourself is no match to a pure bred vampire. Your angel half makes you WEAK!" The caped figure lunged forth, a dagger materializing into his hand. Sasuke ducked the knife and pushed him back with a swift kick to his side, pushing him away from Yuki. He was as good as dead.

Itachi breathed deeply as he entered the middle of the maze. What first caught his attention was the mass amount of black feathers littering the ground. He then looked right and saw little Yuki laying on a pile of them, tears drying to her face. Itachi rushed over and picked the sniffling baby up, checking her for any injuries.

"Yuki." Itachi cooed, rocking her softly. A clash of metal caught his attention as he swathe caped figure and a vamped out Sasuke fighting a few yards away. Sasuke had never looked so beautiful. His hand like wings showed the muscles perfectly in his scarred back. His hair was now longer and lighter, but added beauty to his ashen complexion. His Ruby eyes never glowed so bright. Itachi found his breath was completely stolen from him.

A coo brought his attention back to Yuki, her chubby little fingers reaching up to him.

"Where's your brother Yuki?" Itachi asked quietly. Itachi's sensitive ears picked up the light sounds of sniffling. Itachi made his way towards the sound and found little Toshi on one of the metal tables. Itachi looked back at the fighting pair before picking Toshi up as well and quietly making his way to a small alcove. Setting the small infants down he turned to the battle. He had to help his otouto.

Sasuke hissed as the dagger sliced his wing. Growling he lunged foreword, his lengthened nails turned to claws as he slashed the chest of the other. The cape was nothing but shreds now. Why wasn't his poison working yet? Sasuke glanced to his left and froze when he saw Yuki was missing. He turned and began to look, searching for the small infant. Where was she! He heard a gasp behind him. Turning, he saw Itachi holding the hand the dagger was in. If it wasn't for Itachi he'd be dead by now.

"Aniki." Sasuke whispered.

"Don't worry otouto. They're safe." Itachi said, throwing the caped man back. Sasuke was transfixed. He hadn't sensed or heard him. He was completely unseen. And even in his injured state, he was still so strong! There was none else like him.

"Now, your going to come quietly before the court and receive your punishment, grandfather." Itachi stated, his ruby orbs glaring into the caped figures hidden ones.

"Now why would I do that?" He smirked under the remnants of his cloak. Itachi smirked.

"Because every exit is guarded by the royal guard." Itachi stated, pulling Sasuke closer to his side. The hood finally fell. A bloody smile was seen as red eyes glared at them. A deep purple liquid started to seep from his eyes, ears and nose.

"I've already received my punishment." He said, his body finally giving out Sasuke stood shocked as he watched the body fall, speechless. Since when could his poison kill someone?

"Otouto?" Sasuke looked to Itachi, confused.

"You don't have to feel remorse. He got what was coming to him. Now please change back. You'll wipe out all your energy if you stay like that any longer." Sasuke listened to him and soon his black feathers were shining once again. Itachi smiled before sighing in pain.

"Let's get Toshi and Yuki and make our way back up." Itachi said, turning to where the children were. His eyes widened.
