Chapter 17: For the love of them
Again we where running but this time I was running towards Itachi and Sasuke, it was nearing noon, it was now the day after Madara Uchiha had died, strangely I felt some what saddened by the thought he was dead. We raced on, there was still so much ground to cover before we got to the old Uchiha hide out. I hoped to god we made it in time, I didn't want to see them fight. I didn't want to have to bury one or both of them. Hours past and soon it was coming up to 3pm, I looked further a head and almost sighed in relief when I could see the, once proud, Uchiha hideout. I pushed myself harder, straining to hear any sounds coming from the area. Then I heard it, the almost unmistakeable sound of a katon, I rushed forward shouting behind me as I went
"Hurry they are here!"
As I got closer I began to see what was happening.
I watched the two people I love most in the world fight as I ran closer I could see more. The younger of the two rushed the older, white lightning coming from his hand, then surrounding his body. I pushed myself faster as he approached the older at a fast pace. I watched the older dance out of the way, chidori only skimming his black and red cloak. His hand flew out grabbing the younger by the scruff of his neck, and then he turned and threw him into the wall. I flinched hearing his head snap against the wall, I turned to the people with me.
"We have to hurry! They will kill each other at this rate!" I shouted
"Hai Lady Uchiha!" came six voices all as one.
We all sped up, pushing our chakra to our feet. The six jounin pushed them selves to keep with my pace. I looked forward watching my hearts love fight the boy I brought up. They boy who's innocence was ripped from him by death, by murder. And my heart, the one who stripped him of it, the one who murdered, who killed, and who broke him. Though he had no choice, it was and order. He couldn't say no, he couldn't refuse. He did it to save his little brother, to save me. He did it to protect us from the people we loved and trusted. To spare us from what he had been through. No one would believe he was a pacifist, he didn't like to fight, and he didn't want to fight. He was forced to be this thing he didn't want to be, he was forced to go against his nature by the people he loved and the village he trusted. This was years ago now, it almost felt like a life time ago. Pushing myself harder I watched as the younger activated chidori again he rushed out at the elder but now I could see the older was drained, his movements slower. His reactions not as sharp, his eyes not able to focus on the younger.
"No!" I screamed as I dashed forward.
I threw myself into the middle of the fray; I could not and would not let this happen. I felt the older drop to his knees behind me. But I kept my eyes forward watching the younger get closer; things seemed to be in slow motion, I could hear the elder coughing behind me the wet sound indicating blood was coming up. I could see the panic on the younger boys face, I watched him try to divert from where I was, to stop chidori from hitting me, I watched the panic turn to fear when he knew he couldn't. I closed my eyes a smile on my lips. Words from the past echoing in my head
"One must die for both to live"
Then I felt pain, excruciating pain ripping through my chest, I didn't call out in pain, I didn't cry. I stayed. I felt my knees give out and my slow decent to the floor was accompanied by one word shouted by two people.
"AKANE!"
Then the world was black.
