Authors note: There is two chapters left and IM SURE OF IT THIS TIME lol. Review ;)

I was furious. I didn't know what to do with all my anger that was built up inside of me, and I hadn't been this angry since fighting Itachi. This was the first time Akiyo managed to flare my anger this way. My fists were clenched so tight, I thought my knuckles would break any minute now. Akira's uncontrollable crying was only making it worse, and now Sakura was crying too. I closed my eyes and tried to collect myself before jumping up off the bed to go after Akiyo. Uchiha's always had bad tempers…I thought. Explains where Akiyo got his.

"Sasuke," Sakura spoke under mumbled words. "Don't be too mad at Akiyo. He's just upset." She said defending him.

"I'm going after him." I said standing up off of the bed.

"Is Daddy going to hurt Akiyo?" Akira asked Sakura worriedly.

"Of course not," Sakura said making her voice as soothing as possible. "He's just going to talk to him."

"Daddy," Akira said turning to me. I turned my head to look at her small, green eyes. Tears filled them. "Are you going to hurt big brother?" she asked.

"No," I said shaking my head.

"He yelled at you though," Akira objected. "Do you promise?"

"I promise I'm not going to hurt Akiyo." I promised. I looked at Sakura, who still had her arms securely around the tiny girl. "Sakura, watch Akira. I'm going to go get Akyio." Sakura nodded and I sped out of the room, unclenching my fists as I got my act together.

I had no idea why I was so mad. If anything, I thought I'd be sad, but I wasn't. maybe it was the way Akyio yelled. Or maybe it was the way he flat out mentioned Itachi being his real father—Talking about Itachi always got me somewhat mad—but I knew that I had to find him, and talk him through this. It was not good for him to be so angry, especially when it had to do with Itachi.

I looked in Akiyo's room, and he wasn't there. That told me already that he wasn't in the house. When I walked into the living room next, I saw the door wide open, and the first place that popped in my mind was the training field. He must have gone there.

I sprinted out of the house, running as fast as I could to the training grounds. The run gathered my anger back together, and the wind blew against my face, giving me time to think. I knew that this was hard for Akiyo, and I knew what he mean't by me leaving. Akiyo and I had strangely grown closer since he found out about Itachi, but only because he never knew Itachi. I didn't want that relationship to vanish.

"Sasuke?" a voice came from my right. I looked over to see Ino next to me, sprinting along. "Sasuke, is everything alright?"

"What do you mean?" I asked, knowing the Ino couldn't possibly know about the mission.

"I saw Akiyo," she said, her eyebrows raised. "I tried to talk to him, but he stormed off before I could get a word out. What happened?"

"No time to explain," I said quickly. "where did he go?"

"He ran towards the gates," Ino said pointing to the direction as if I didn't know where the gates were. Ino's face became shocked. "Sasuke, he's really not thinking about leaving the village is he?"

I gasped. I didn't think of that. "Akiyo!" I screamed and began sprinting faster. Akiyo could not leave the village. If he did, he would be named a rogue ninja—I knew from experience, and I was still grateful that the village took me back—and he was far to young to go out by himself. He could get killed! This only made me run faster.

I breezed through the rooftops, accidently running into the buildings because I was going so fast, I wasn't even caring if I landed on a rooftop or not. I had to get to Akiyo.

Finally, I reached the gates, and just as Ino had said, Akiyo stood at the entrance. His back was turned to me but his head was turned to the sky. I stopped, almost falling because of the sudden halt.

"AKIYO!" I screamed. Akiyo didn't say a word at first, and he didn't turn around. I stood to catch my breath before shouting his name again. This time he turned, and his cheeks were soaked with tears. Out of my whole life watching him grow up, Akiyo hardly ever cried. He often reminded me of my own self, never crying. I suddenly felt horrible.

"You can't leave," Akiyo said quietly.

"Akiyo," I said trying to get closer to him. Suddenly, Akiyo reached into his pocket and retrieved a kunai. I gasped at this. What was he planning? "Akiyo," I said trying to be calm. "What do you plan on doing with that?"

"My life is a wreck," Akiyo said holding the kunai with both hands. "I may not have shown it, but ever since I found out you weren't my father, my life has been a wreck. It's all I can think about. The fact that I am never going to know my real father."

"Akiyo, why didn't you tell me?" I asked feeling my own feelings begin to hurt. "we could talk about it"—

"No, we can't." Akiyo said shaking his head. "I thought…I thought that I would be able to cope with it. That I could look at you as my father, just as I always had. It was so hard to get to the point where I would stop thinking about it, and I still have trouble. But now that you said you're leaving…I can't cope with that. I know it's just a year, and it could be a lot longer, but that's going to be a tough year for me. A year knowing that I don't have a dad."

"Akiyo, you always have a dad." I said butting in. "I may not be here for a year, but I will always be your dad."

"A year is too long. If you're leaving, then so am I. Maybe the village would feel better, knowing that the man who killed the whole Uchiha clan, his son, is dead." Akiyo said. He pulled the kunai back then, and closed his eyes shut. He pushed it as fast as he could towards his stomach.

Without thinking, I ran as fast as my legs would let me. I sprinted and for a moment, it seemed that time stopped. The only things moving, were Akiyo and I. right as I reached him, the kunai touched his skin. I pushed it out of his hand as fast as I could, causing the knife to cut across his skin, leaving a large gash on his stomach. Akiyo screamed as he fell from the impact, but I caught him just in time. The kunai fell on the ground, blood oozing down the knife.

Akiyo let out another scream as my arms surrounded him. He covered his gash up with his palms and the blood already began soaking through his shirt. I let him go and raised up his shirt, gasping at the large gash that came from his bellybutton all the way to his hip.

"Akiyo!" I yelled. "Akiyo, hold on!" I yelled, taking off my own shirt. I removed his hands away from the wound, and began tearing bits and pieces off of my white shirt. quickly, I began placing them in the gash, to try and hold the bleeding.

"Whats going on?" a voice came from behind me. I looked around to see Hinata and Tenten, backpacks were secured on their backs. I assumed they were on their way out for a mission.

"Akiyo is injured." I said almost too quickly that the words jumbled together. Hinata gasped and ran over to us. Tenten followed, letting her backpack fall off her.

Hinata bent down when she saw me trying to stop Akiyo's bleeding. "Tenten," Hinata said quickly. "go get the paramedics here, quickly." She ordered. She took my hands and pushed them off of Akiyo's wound as Tenten sprinted off. "Sasuke, I need you to step back. I have limited healing experience, but I think I can heal this wound for the most part. I need some room." She said, almost calmly. Amazed at her calmness, I backed away a few inches.

She took the shirt I had put on Akiyo, and threw it aside. She then raised his own shirt up so she could examine the wound. Akiyo was screaming in pain, and Hinata tried to calm him down as she placed her hands over the wound. Green chakra appeared under her palms, just like Sakura's always did. Akiyo's screaming began to get quieter and quieter, until it finally stopped.

Hinata removed her hands from Akiyo and threw off her backpack. She reached into it and retrieved a small jar that was no bigger than her palm. She opened it quickly, and took her middle and index finger, getting some of the substance inside of it on her fingers. I recognized that it was the famous Hyuga ointment. She rubbed it on the small gash that remained. Only little blood still oozed from the wound.

"We are here, lady Hinata!" a voice came from the right of us. We both looked over, to see two paramedics and Tenten, running toward us.

"Get him to the hospital immediately, I healed his wound but it needs to be stitched." Hinata ordered, watching the paramedic pick Akiyo up into his arms. The paramedic nodded, and the two of them began sprinting in the direction of the hospital.

Tenten was trying to catch her breath from running while Hinata closed her jar and placed it back in her backpack. I sat there on the ground, finally letting out a breath I had no idea I was holding. My eyes were as wide as pancakes, probably.

Hinata stood up, having to have help from Tenten with her big stomach in the way. Tenten and Hinata both stared at me, noticing how shocked I was. Everything had happened so fast.

"Sasuke," Hinata said in her quiet voice. "Akiyo will be fine." She promised. I didn't respond, I just looked at the kunai that lay on the ground. "Sasuke?" Hinata asked.

"Akiyo…" I mumbled. Tenten and Hinata just looked at me, and then to each other.

Tenten walked over and grabbed my wrist. She pulled me up off of the ground, practically by force. Had she been training with Sakura?

"Snap out of it, Sasuke," Tenten said dusting me off. "You need to get to the hospital, right now!" she exclaimed.

"C'mon, we'll go with you." Hinata said approaching me. She then turned around along with Tenten, and the two of them began sprinting to the hospital. Shaking off everything, I followed.

Pretty intense huh?? Review!
