"What are you doing here?" I shouted at the person standing in front of me. This was either a very odd coincidence, or I was dead.

Itachi slid around the bench and held out a hand for me.

"Itachi you… you're supposed to be dead," was the only think I could think of.

He nodded, "Indeed, however things don't always go as planned."

I looked around and saw the sun peaking over the horizon, "Can we go back to my house? I know the Akatsuki aren't around but I don't feel safe talking out in the open." Itachi nodded and I led him back to the apartment. He looked so out of place here. Sure without his cloak and regular clothing he looked like an average guy but his face showed years of hardship that not even the toughest war survivors could compete with.

I made a cup of coffee and handed it to him without asking, "So what did happen then? If you aren't dead then how on earth are you here?"

Itachi heaved a slow yet steady sigh, "Amber was the only one to see the fight. She saw enough and even though Sasuke killed me," a slightly pained yet relieved look crossed his face, "he only destroyed the physical part of me. Tobi, as you still call him though you know his true identity, knew this and devised a special 'jutsu' of sorts just for me."

"What and sent you here?" I joked, before remembering that there was no such thing as humor with an Uchiha.

"Of sorts," he answered as he sipped the drink I given him.

"That's absurd," I crossed my arms in a pout, "why would he…"

"To find you Luna," my eyebrows shot up.

"Me?"

Itachi nodded and turned in my general direction, "He knew, or was hoping, you'd become a world hopper, teleport here and there without a problem. Now that you've appeared physically and mentally I must report back to him."

I shook my head, "How the hell do you guys even communicate," for a moment I thought I saw him smile, even if it was just a little.

"It's comes with being dead," Itachi stood and started to walk away.

"Wait Itachi I thought you were on our side!"

The Uchiha paused in a swift moment, halfway out the door, his ponytail failing just a little bit further down his hair, "I don't have much of a choice anymore Luna, I'm… sorry."

The door shut with an echoing silence. I felt the quiet seep into my core and melt my thoughts away into nothing but confusion in its purest form.

"But Itachi…" I said after he was long gone. Where he was going I didn't know but it could only make me wonder further.

Out of no where the feeling of being watched crashed down upon me, out of human habit I shut the blind, locked the door, and shut every single door in the apartment that I could find, even going as far as to close the closets I usually leave open.

I sat on the living room the couch, the safest place I could think of at the moment. The couch used to be where Oceanna and I laid and watched movies together, or where we'd read or more like she read to me, usually Naruto comics. It was where a lot of good times were spent; it was also where Amber had lain passed out after her first encounter with shrimp. It was where out first dog had gone to the bathroom after an exciting day. It was where I felt happiest alone in this world.

The phone rang, causing me to jump. I picked it up off the stand, "Hello?"

"Luna can you hear me alright?" it was Itachi's voice.

"Uh yeah… how did you get my number?"

Itachi avoided my question, "May I ask what you are currently doing?"

"Talking to you, I was sitting on my couch when you-"

"Alright I'm coming over, it's not safe in your apartment anymore, because of what you are you've created a sort of- mensional… – and therefore…- it's only- the lines dying… I'll- … soon." Itachi hung up, well more like the phone zapped out along with the rest of the power.

Someone knocked on the door; I went over and looked through the peephole. No one was there.

A noise came from behind me; I turned around and realized the noise was tapping. Someone or something was tapping on the window, from my bedroom it sounded like.

I though I heard someone whisper my name, I whipped around only to find myself face to face with the now open door, I swear it had been closed.

I shut the door and locked it, making sure it was shut before leaning against it. I made a dash for the couch and hit the pillows when a door slammed shut, the noise loud and deafening. I tried to block out the sounds when suddenly the pounding of rain hit the dry window sills, I screwed my eyes shut and started singing an old lullaby Oceanna used to sing to me.

The comforting words were of no help and the front door burst open and along with it came a roaring wind. I stood and ran to shut it but was stopped by what felt to be an invisible forcefield.

As I tried to move a hand suddenly grabbed me and pulled me out of the apartment, I then found myself looking up into Itachi's expressionless eyes.

"As I was trying to say, because you jump worlds you've created a dimensional rift wherever you jump, and you jumped one in your own home so I figured it's best to come collect you before something awful happens."

I stood and brushed myself off while walking with Itachi, "Like what?"

"You lose your sanity, or your life."

I shrugged, "One out of two ain't bad."

Itachi made a noise of recognition in the back of his throat, "Well we should figure out how this works soon. Where I am staying is not far from your own home and since you've already traveled from said home it'd be best to make the location of your jumps."

We kept walking. About a block down the road we came across a medium sized house just off to the side of the road. Itachi made an abrupt turn and we entered silently through the back entrance.

In the living room I opened my mouth to ask the question that had been burning at my insides for awhile now, "How did you know all of this was going to happen?"

Itachi looked up before stepping aside to reveal the person sitting on the couch, "He provided the details."

"Oh for fucks sake," I stated.

"Hi Luna-chan!"
