Disclaimer: This doesn't belong to me. NARUTO is not of my creation. I am only a fan. I know, if I created Naruto, Volume 3 would still be out. (I'm a BIG procrastinator)
Author's Note: I haven't been on this site in a WHILE, and I decided to start updating everything. I just read Chaos Theory by Bullwinkle's Lady… it's AMAZING. It really makes me what to have an interesting plot with twists and turns, but knowing me… I'd confuse everyone.
Itachi and Yuna's children: Chitosh (17) and Shika (15)
Itachi and Mai's children: Fugaku (17), Kino (16), Ryu (12), and the twins: Hanna and Hitomi (10)
What's happened so Far: Sasuke lost his lover, Hinata from a mission and blamed himself. Distraught, he believed he'd gone crazy when he saw her ghost, but he wasn't crazy, he truly saw his lover Hinata but as an angel. Before Sasuke knew it he was pulled into a crazy adventure when they had to seek out Itachi's children from causing mayhem. There was more to this story then them just wanting to cause problems, they wanted to bring back their father Itachi, who became the God of Death.
…He's back…
Chapter 13 – The Avenger
"Brother." Itachi said happily,"Brother, how have you been? It always seems as if we never get a chance to really talk like siblings should." When Itachi spoke, it seemed as if other people were talking with him in unison, it was demonic and inhuman.
Itachi laughed as the dark fog was clearing through the rain, he was pale. He had ghostly form and dark circles under his eyes that gleamed red. He was wearing a black robe with a hood that nearly covered his eyes. He truly looked like the Grim Reaper himself, even carrying a scythe. The blade seemed to be the length of human; the designs had red smoke that followed the curve of the large blade, on the tip carried dried blood.
Itachi was actually here. Death was really on Earth.
Sasuke's chest was heaving and felt a bead of sweat forming on his forehead, he was anxious. Itachi was right in front of him, ready to kill everyone for his own pleasure. Sasuke's eye twitched, his impulses told him to strike. He snarled at Itachi, "There's nothing to talk about!"
Naruto grabbed Sasuke's shoulder, noticing that he was about to follow his impulses and strike, "Sasuke," Naruto cautioned to his friend shaking his shoulder, "You're getting too excited, too fast, too early, control yourself!"
"He's right, baby brother, if you get so angry in such a short amount of time, we'll never get to bond," Itachi's voices boomed, he began to laugh, "We need to have a family reunion before I end everything, right?"
Naruto looked at Neji, "Get everyone out of here, Sasuke and I will handle this."
Neji glared at Naruto, "Fine, only I will do a decent job to protect Hinata," Neji said aiming his insult to Sasuke. He turned to everyone, "let's leave."
Hinata looked at Sasuke, he didn't seem to notice her until he said, "Hinata, protect them; protect Kino and the twins, please."
Hinata felt like Sasuke was warning her, she gulped and nodded, "I will." She turned her back to Sasuke and flew off.
Smirking, Fugaku ran up to his father then bowed, "Father," light filled Fugaku's usually dark eyes, "I have done well, right?"
Itachi looked at his son, he smiled tenderly, "You have done well," Itachi smiled darkly, "Come to papa." He opened his arms, welcoming Fugaku into his embrace.
"NO!" Naruto yelled looking at Fugaku in disbelief, "He'll kill you!"
Sneering at Naruto Fugaku asked, "What do you know? Hmm? Nothing! Plus, you'll die anyway while I am praised by father."
Itachi sneered at his child, what a selfish child just like that woman, Mai. He deserved to die; he needs to be in hell right next to his mother. He, Itachi, needed to personally make them suffer, well, the world would be able to see Mai and all her ugliness as well.
Hiding his disgust from his child, Itachi smiled again, "The demon-fox child knows nothing. The only divine thing here is you."
Fugaku smirked triumphantly at Naruto as he walked into his father's embrace. Itachi was cold to the touch, like he was holding onto a glacier, but this was still his father. Fugaku mentally laughed, Mother had said that I couldn't get father's love, he thought, but I did, finally.
Itachi smiled holding Fugaku, "Goodbye, Sai."
"Sai?" Fugaku's eyes widened at suddenly being called by his original name. Fugaku pushed away from Itachi confused; he suddenly heard foot steps and turned his back from his father to look.
Idiot, Sasuke thought, his back was open; Itachi lifted his scythe ready to strike down. Sasuke opened his mouth to yell when he heard footsteps as well as voices he turned towards the trees.
"STOP!" two voices screamed, Itachi halted, it was odd, but he knew those voices. He knew that aura; he turned his head, eyes wide, he was shocked at who he saw.
Chitosh and Shika were together, breathing heavily from running. Shika looked at her brother and smiled at him which he returned.
Chitosh and Shika his children, the children he had with his original love, Yuna. They were so big, he must have missed so much, Itachi was shocked at these odd thoughts and feelings he thought he had lost. The warmth and love he felt for these children.
Fugaku pulled out a kunai, stomping to the duo, "YOU," Fugaku shook in anger, screaming, "YOU TRAITOR!!!!!" Fugaku tried to stab Shika, but Chitosh quickly grabbed his half-brothers arm. Fugaku screamed again, "You ruin everything!"
Shika was shocked; Fugaku didn't see Itachi try to kill him. Shika stepped back to get out of the way thankful that Chitosh saved her.
Chitosh was use to Fugaku's usual temper tantrums then he inflicts pain to anyone who was around, but this was different. Fugaku was going crazy!
Fugaku contacted his knee to Chitosh's stomach forcing Chitosh back and pulled his wrist out from Chitosh's grasp. Fugaku was pissed, how could Chitosh betray Father like this? Fugaku tried to spin around and stab Chitosh, but Chitosh pulled a kunai out, quickly, to block. Fugaku needed to hurt Chitosh, but he blocked his every move and had a counter. Fugaku would make him hurt, he eyed Shika who backed off, he smirked, no one betrays Fugaku and walks, no one.
Shika didn't even noticed what happened, one moment Chitosh saved her, then the two are fighting and the next moment feels a harp pain in her chest and everything began to spin and get dark.
The thump when Shika contacted with the ground brought Sasuke and Naruto back to reality. "Shika!" Sasuke yelled running to her inspecting the wound. A kunai was embedded in her chest, Sasuke couldn't tell if it hit her heart or not, but it seemed awfully close.
Cursing under his breath, Sasuke ripped his shirt and ripped those, then rolled the strips. He surrounded the kunai with his shirt. Naruto handed him bandages Sasuke took it, "Naruto, do something other than stare!"
Naruto nodded and ran to help out Fugaku; Itachi didn't seem to be doing anything at the moment. He just seemed shocked.
Sasuke wrapped the bandaged over her shoulder and around her chest, anywhere that wasn't touching the kunai. Shika had more of a chance to live if the kunai was still where it was, especially if it hit her heart.
"Oh, God," Sasuke muttered under his breath, everything was going to hell because of Itachi.
Suddenly a cold hand grabbed Sasuke's and moved it out of the way. Itachi looked at his brother, "Move, let me look at my daughter."
Itachi looked at her, she was beautiful she looked just like Yuna, but had the straight hair and fair skin like he did, but the features were all Yuna.
"Itachi," Sasuke said dangerously moving between his elder brother and Shika to protecting her, "You may want to destroy the world, but you are not going to start with my niece."
Itachi was taken back, but asked softly, "Have you been taking care of her?"
Sasuke was confused, but decided to answer, "Ever since I learned she was apart of a fight she didn't want to be apart of."
Itachi reached out to touch Shika, but Sasuke slapped his hand out of the way, "No."
"Another question brother," Sasuke was silent waiting for Itachi to ask the question, "How long has she been with you?"
"Not long, since this mission started. She told me that she was with Chitosh and Fugaku, all of your children were. From what I heard Mai and Fugaku hurt and scarred them. Shika hates you, Itachi."
Those words tore through him, "I see."
Itachi stood up and backed away, his little girl was hurt. He blankly stared at his brother, Sasuke took care of her, and then turned to Chitosh who just got punched by Fugaku and his clone kicked Naruto.
Itachi snarled he hated that child; he's the reason his daughter is dying and is harming his son, Chitosh. Gripping on to his scythe Itachi raised it high in the air muttering words.
Sasuke didn't know what he was doing, but he was going to stop it, he ran to Itachi pulling out his Whirlwind blade ready to kill him. Suddenly the ground split open and a ghoulish hand shot out and threw Sasuke back.
Sasuke was disoriented for the moment, blinking a few times before he knew what happened. The ground was splitting as skeletons, ghosts, demons, rose from the ground. Itachi was calling the dead.
Fugaku laughed at Naruto, "You think that you can stop me, now? IDIOT!" Lifting his hands he looked up at the Sky, "Sora."
The wind began to pick up as a gust of wind flew by Naruto and Chitosh, sending them off into different parts of the woods. Fugaku laughed, he lowered his arms to stop the wind. The winds didn't obey, it slowed but became cold and the sky darkened.
"Who the…" Fugaku turned, greeted with a man who was bleeding and his eyes squeezed shut and mouth tight in agony.
"Why?" it cried.
Fugaku kicked it and the creature exploded into dust, he noticed to more appeared, and kicked them turning them into dust. Fugaku turned around; surrounding him was more of the dead.
"Father, help me!" Fugaku knew he'd be over-whelmed. Itachi looked down at him and cursed at Fugaku then replied, "Just die!"
Itachi leaned forward and flew towards Fugaku, his scythe out ready to kill. In one clean move, Itachi flew past Fugaku and around landing in front of him.
"Why, I only wanted to please you," Fugaku said as he slowly started to bleed from one of the areas Itachi cut.
"You're the reason my children hate me, so you have to die."
Fugaku's eyes opened, "I'm your child, too." His arm fell; a demonic claw shot out of the ground and dragged Fugaku into the ground that led to nowhere, even took his fallen arm.
Sasuke couldn't believe what was going on, this was unnatural. Sasuke mind was going crazy, flashing to all of the spirits. This was too much, so much. He, Uchiha Sasuke, couldn't defeat this!
"Calm," Sasuke said to himself, he couldn't. Sasuke rolled over and threw up, this was too much. Standing up Sasuke wobbled to Shika. He had to fight for whatever he was able to. He wasn't an Angel or a God, he was human, and he needed to worry about human things, Shika. He needed to keep her safe, protect her.
Almost there, he thought, but a giant hand shot out of the ground carrying Shika with it towards the sky.
Sasuke looked behind him, he needed help. He didn't want to admit it, but he needed to get help. Shaking himself awake, Sasuke ran off into the woods to find Hinata, his angel.
Hinata told Sasuke she's protect the twin's but it was hard, the aura of Death clouded her vision. Being an angel she was very sensitive to the supernatural.
Hanna and Hitomi held onto Kino tightly screaming for dear life. A demon with a bull's head, a man's torso, and a snake's body attacked the twin's. The demon lifted an axe into the air striking down at the children.
"No!" Kino screamed turning his back to the monster holding onto the kids, he'd die for his little sisters, no matter how annoying they can be.
No, Hinata's brain screamed, she turned to Kino, but fell; she turned and saw a skeleton's hand on her ankle, using it like a rope to pull itself out of the ground. Another arm wrapped around Hinata, a ghost holding on to her. "NEJI," she screamed, "Help them!"
Neji kicked a ghoul, which exploded into dust, and ran to Hinata, "No! Not me, Neji! Kino! Hanna! Hitomi! "
The demon's axe nearly chopped Kino in half, but another blade caught it. Hinata let out a sigh of relief, they were saved. The demon was shocked as it was pushed back. "Don't you dare touch them!" Sasuke snapped.
"Uncle!" Hanna and Hitomi cheered and also ran to him, but Kino caught them.
Sasuke threw his whirlwind blade at the demon, which it easily dodged laughing at Sasuke, he lost his weapon. Sasuke laughed too, he wasn't a fool. He had a string attached to his blade, so when he pulled it would come at the demon, kill it from behind.
The demon ran at Sasuke, but Sasuke refused to move. Neji freed Hinata from the creatures that were holding on to her turning them into dust.
"Sasuke, you fool," Neji yelled, did he want to die. Again?
"Sasuke," another member yelled, but wasn't paying attention and was cut down by a demon.
"Kimi," Sakura called for her fallen ally. She looked around, many of them seemed to be weaker and she defiantly felt weaker. Why was this?
Sasuke pulled his arm back, also pulling the string; the demon would be dead on a moment.
CRASH!
Something fell on the demon coming from no where and Sasuke had to duck to dodge his own blade, which hit a skeleton which was impaled into a tree then turned into dust.
"What was that?" Everyone asked bewildered.
Sasuke noticed what fell on the demon and started laughing. It was Naruto!
"Hey, dobe, nice timing," Sasuke helped Naruto up from the dust he was laying in, where the demon was a moment ago.
Naruto growled, "STOP CALLING ME THAT! Stinkin' Fugaku did some jutsu and wind came! Then I flew up into the sky then I started falling. You should have some pity for me!"
Sasuke laughed, "For you?"
"Yeah, for me!"
"That's a good joke, just fight!"
The creatures seemed to be loosing their numbers, so many retreated. Sasuke and the rest let them retreat, they were tired.
"Oh, no, Kimi," Sakura said sadly, "and Hiro, both of them are dead."
Hinata walked to them, shaking her head, the smell of Death was all over them, but then it hit her. She spun to the group, "Is anyone tired?"
Naruto fell on the ground lying on his stomach, "I'm tired of being hungry!"
"I'm tired of this mess," Neji huffed leaning against the tree.
"Same here," Others agreed.
Hinata sighed, shaking her head, "No I mean like sleepy, but you feel weak like your energy is being drained."
"Isn't that being sleepy?" Naruto asked.
Sasuke slapped him from the back of his head, "Shut up, idiot!"
Hanna raised her hand, "I'm a little sleepy."
"But more scared, so I'm awake," Hitomi said finishing the sentence.
Kino agreed, "Hate to admit it." Everyone else nodded, except Sasuke and Neji.
"Neji, Sasuke, you don't fell tired?"
Neji just looked at her, "If I'm tired I'm getting weak."
"Neji," Sakura huffed, "Just answer the question."
"Fine, I am tired."
Sakura and a few others rolled their eyes at Neji; he wanted to be indestructible, no one was.
Chitosh woke up from the sound of a giant crash, he was groggy and he felt like he was thrown into a bunch of rocks. Forcing himself up, Chitosh looked at his surroundings; he was laying on a rock in the middle of the forest.
"What happened?" He asked himself. He shook his head, trying to wake up. He couldn't remember what happened before, so he put his head back down to rest more. When he put his head down on the hard surface, it felt soft. Like went he was little and rested on his mother's lap, which was soft.
"I'm sorry Mother," Chitosh said softly.
"You've been forgiven a long time ago, baby," a sky spoke to him with the voice of his mother, but much more heavenly. Chitosh must have become disoriented; he opened his eyes and saw his mother.
"Mother!" Chitosh jumped to his feet, shocked to see her. She, she was dead. He saw her get killed.
Yuna smiled, it was nice to see her child again, she opened her arms to him tears spilling, "You've become to strong, so big."
Chitosh back away from her, "My apologies, but you're not real! My mother is dead, I saw her die."
Yuna stood up, "Yes, but when I died I became an Angel," she spread her golden wings, "The Angel of Life and your father became…"
"Death," Chitosh added, Chitosh wasn't too sure this was his mother, and Yuna sensed it. She hugged Chitosh; he hugged her back feeling mud and dirt on her. He pulled away looking at his hands and realizing it was dry.
Yuna laughed, "Sasuke was shocked too. My dress it's life itself. The brown is Earth," she pointed to her sash, "The green is also earth," pointing to her green halter, "And the blue is wind or water, sometimes both. It is life and I am life."
"I see," Chitosh nodded, she went back to giving her child a hug that she has missed for at least 10 years.
Before Chitosh knew it, she was crying, "I'm sorry for crying, I'm just sorry for leaving you like that." She was referring to when she was killed when he was a child, Chitosh knew, but it wasn't her fault.
"No," Chitosh said, "I should be apologizing."
"No, you were young and so was your sister. Thank you for being my happiness, you and Shika, I love you both."
"I love you too, Mom."
Yuna let out an uneven breath and smiled at her son, "I need you to do me a favor. I can only be here for so long." She handed Chitosh an iridescent colored orb, "Give this to Hinata and tell her to call it when the time is right, but be wise. It will help for the final battle."
Chitosh took the orb, "I will mother."
She smiled softly taking his head in her hands and bringing it down to kiss his forehead, "You're so tall now," she smiled sadly, "I missed a lot." And she disappeared.
Chitosh looked in the forest, where should he start. Maybe where he heard that crash, maybe follow that sound.
