A/N: Yo people..Another chapter the day after! Go thank kayo-chan you all XP...It's a bit short but I kind of left out a scene I thought that would be unneccesary now which was basically some more dialogue between Itachi and Arashi, but I noticed that it wasn't needed when I wrote the chapter... So anyway!

blueice: You should register! Then you'll atleast get an email notification when I update insanely fast like now XP(if you add my story to favs or story alert and you set your settings right that is (A)...) So is updating now fast enough for you XP? And you're lucky, I'm already at school means less hours to write for me...but I still manage quite well with some day offs I'm having :)

kakashiclone1120: Well, If you'd ponder even deeper about that question you'd figure out the following things: Itachi and Kayoko are 14 and 15 years old right now...The person who wants to kill Itachi right now is pretty much a toothpick compared to Itachi's strength...The other villian is currently out of the picture and the third one isn't a villian right now and then there is a hidden fourth one but that will be spoiling my crazy idea that I had when I was walking back from school listening to a certain Slipknot number XP(not a big fan of them or anything just have all kinds of music on my mp3) So...They are there, but right now they aren't really people that are coming after them yet. So yeah it IS done on purpose that only ANBU and Hunter-nin are coming...I mean come on in about 5 years in the story they'll have Konoha's forces on their ass as well. Hope I answered your question of the week :p

Arsenel: Thnx for pointing that out, I even edited the last chapter and already added a reply there for you pointing that out. As for your ideas...You're not that far off...I think :s

Now...Let's start the shorty XP I mean chapter XP


Chapter 28:

Itachi was walking around in a temple. He was no longer in the valley or in his room. The problem was not really that he didn't where he exactly was, but rather that it wasn't the forest he was used to meet Tsukuyomi.

Also the temple was quite bright, so it wasn't hard to figure out where he was. No, what troubled him was that he perfeclty knew well who summoned him and he wondered what she wanted from him.

"Itachi...Don't be uptight...I'm not here to yell at you or anything else." Amaterasu replied to his thoughts.

"Then what did you call me here for?" Itachi asked.

"My power isn't without risk...I wanted to let you know that." Amaterasu answered.

"I noticed it's quite chakra consuming...but other then that I think I can handle it." Itachi said and shrugged.

"I'm serious Itachi! My power could litterally destroy you if you don't master it!" Amaterasu yelled.

"Then I'll master it..." Itachi replied.

"It's not that easy, it will put a lot of stress on your body and we can't risk losing you...So don't overdo it and train only a minimum amount with my power. You'll start to understand once you try..." Amaterasu said.

"Was that all? I'm not a fool." Itachi replied.

"If you are, we are surely doomed...We depend on you, Uchiha Itachi...For you are most likely the last..." Amaterasu said and everything got bright around Itachi.

Itachi woke up in his darkened room. He sat up and breathed in the smell of nature coming from outside of his room.

"I hate it when they disturb me in the middle of the night..." Itachi said to himself.

He rose up from his bed, stretched himself out a couple of times and decided a stroll outside would maybe give him some more rest eventually. Itachi stepped outside and immediately was welcomed by a sight that actually made him worry.

Not too far in the distance, thunder clouds had gathered and were fiercely spitting lightning at the world. Itachi made his way up to the roof of the compound and stared into the distance. He saw someone sitting in the eye of the storm and raised a smile.

"That's an interesting jutsu, though I wonder if Arashi-sama is able to control the lightningbolts' targets." Itachi thought.

Itachi flipped back down to the wooden pavement in front of his room. His eyes averted to the right, "Kayoko..." His eyes then moved over his room and to his left, "Kuchinabi..." and let out a sigh. He walked past Kuchinabi's room and followed the path he had previously been guided on by Kisame during the tour.

After walking for some time, he arrived at Orochimaru's room. It caught his interest as there were now clearly patterns of snakes vissible on the edges of the two doors.

"I wonder..." Itachi said as he carefully opened the door.

He was quite surprised that Orochimaru left his room unguarded, then again, why would anyone want to enter the snake sannin's room. As he was about to enter the room he saw something sparkle in the corner of his eyes, stopping him in his tracks.

"Ow..." Itachi said as he kneeled down and gave a better look at the hidden wire in front of the entrance.

"As expected of a sannin...This wire is nearly invisible, if it wasn't for the moon light I wouldn't have seen it." Itachi thought.

He carefully ran with his finger over the wire.

"It's sharp..In other words it's supposed to make someone cut his feet open, making him trip by the wire and then..." Itachi thought as he looked up towards the ceiling.

"Shoot him dead with a bunch of kunai...Interesting." Itachi stated.

Itachi carefully stepped over the wire and watched his step as he further entered the room. He had to evade of a couple of more traps, surprisingly all of them were kunai or shuriken related.

When Itachi finally got into the actual room his eyes widened, trying to absorb as much light there was as possible. There was an entire collection of jutsu scrolls, some very odd items on the other side along with more jutsu scrolls, a bed, a table and a dumpster with halfburned scrolls.

"Looks like Orochimaru-sama loves to research things..." Itachi said as he looked on to the rather large table with medical equipment on it.

"I think this table could even hold Kisame on it...It's abnormally huge..." Itachi thought as his eyes wondered over the table.

He then walked over to the bookcloset with all the jutsu scrolls in it. Itachi grabbed a random scroll out of it and opened it. His eyes widened as he began reading the scroll.

"Looks like there are some interesting jutsu here..." Itachi thought as he continued on reading.

Soon enough, the first sunrays of the dawn entered the room, notifying Itachi that it was basically time to go. He put back the last jutsu scroll he had just read and carefully made his way outside again.

Itachi closed the door and saw the snake signs disappear as the sunlight reached them. He made his way back to his room, deciding to catch a couple of hours of sleep before leaving with the others.

Four hours later he was awakened by Kayoko yelling at him to wake up already. He stretched out and noticed that he was actually well rested.

"Oi, Itachi! Hurry up already! Don't make me come in and drag you out!" Kayoko yelled.

"...Yeah, yeah...Just let me take a quick shower and I'll be right there...I still didn't eat breakfast yet either though." Itachi stated.

"Don't worry about breakfast, I have it with me for you. Once I hear the water running I'll put it down in your room for you." Kayoko replied.

"Alright..." Itachi stated and headed into the bathroom.

He quickly took off his standard black t-shirt and boxers and stepped under the shower. All of a sudden he heard rumbling coming from his room.

"Kayoko, what are you doing?" Itachi asked, figuring it was only Kayoko in his room.

"Kuchinabi! What the hell are you trying to do!" Kayoko yelled.

Itachi smacked his own forehead, figuring what this would lead out to.

"Ah let go off me! I want to see!" Kuchinabi yelled.

"Ow hell no you won't!" Kayoko yelled back.

"Ow yes I will! Almost...there!" Kuchinabi yelled.

Itachi put the shower off, wrapped a towel around his waist and opened the bathroom door. Behind it, he found Kayoko sitting on top of Kuchinabi who was reaching out for the bathroom door.

"What in the hell are you two doing?" Itachi asked as he gave them his standard look.

The two girls looked at him, blushed deep red before shooting themselves out of the room due to blood firing out of their noses.

"...What the hell were they thinking..." Itachi mused as he rubbed his temples.

Itachi walked to his room's door and looked at the two girls lying in front of him, who were still madly red and blood dripping down from their noses.

"...I'm getting dressed now so stay out...I like my clothes clean and without bloodstains..." Itachi stated as he closed the door.

"Well...aside from my robe that is but it's supposed to get dirty..." Itachi thought then and scratched his head.

He quickly got dressed, grabbing his spare black t-shirt, leaving the other one to be cleaned. Itachi noticed his breakfast on his bed as he put on his robe.

"Dango and tea, huh? Well it should be good enough." Itachi said and ate his breakfast as fast as he could.

As he walked outside he saw Kayoko and Kuchinabi sitting down on the ground and staring at it with a blush on their face.

"Good morning Itachi-san." Dorimaru said as he flew down on Itachi's shoulder.

"Morning...You seen Kisame yet?" Itachi asked.

"Yeah he was out doing his morning excercise...What's up with those two?" Dorimaru asked.

"...You don't want to know..." Itachi stated. Dorimaru looked confused at him, wondering what happened.

"Kayoko, Kuchinabi..." Itachi said making the girls flinch a little bit.

"We're going so hurry up and follow." Itachi stated.

After walking a short while, they reached the training grounds and found Kisame teaching the chimps a few tricks with the sword.

"Kisame, Ready to leave?" Itachi asked.

"Ah Itachi, I am but you're not!" Kisame stated.

"What are you talking about?" Itachi asked.

"The hat Itachi, the hat!" Kisame exclaimed.

"Ow yeah..." Itachi said and the Akatsuki hat from under his robe and put it on.

"Good morning Kayoko-chan, Kuchinabi-chan." Kisame said grinning as he spotted the two girls.

"Morning." They both said as they still blushed.

"What's up with them?" Kisame asked.

"...You don't want to know..." Dorimaru and Itachi stated, Dorimaru grinning widely on sccesfully predicting Itachi's line. Kisame looked with his 'what the hell' look at the two of them before wrapping his Samehada up and placing it on his back again.

"Then lead the way Itachi." Kisame said. Dorimaru hopped off Itachi's shoulder and transformed into his human form.

"Where are we going anyway?" Dorimaru asked.

"The Country of Fire...We have enough time so no need rushing towards our destination...We'll calmly walk like normal travellers even though we'll still go trough the forest leading towards the Country of Fire." Itachi stated. Dorimaru and Kisame nodded in understanding and then their group of five left.

A while later they were walking trough the forest that would eventually lead them towards the border of the Country of Fire. They were walking next to each other, Kayoko and Kuchinabi were silently nibbling on their still pretty large chocolate bars.

"I just noticed this, but why are you wearing a Akatsuki cloack, Kuchinabi-chan?" Kisame asked.

"Hm? Well, It's kind of handy and keeps you warm and I wanted to look like one of you guys!" Kuchinabi exclaimed with a sheepish grin on her face.

"Ah I see, Looks like you are the only one who'se wearing different clothes then us, birdbrain." Kisame stated as Kuchinabi began nibbling on her chocolate again.

"Like I care, this suits me best and besides it means you guys don't have to carry an extra cloack for me when I'm not in my human form." Dorimaru stated.

"Hm, You have a point there. But your still the odd bird out." Kisame said nodding.

"...Both of you just shut up about it...I don't want you guys to all of a sudden decide to 'spar' with eachother while we aren't taking a break from travelling." Itachi stated.

Meanwhile, somewhat behind them, two persons were following them from the shadows of the forest.

"Ne, neechan...That's him, isn't it?" The light purple haired girl asked.

"Hm...No doubt about it...He carries 'it'..." The red haired girl replied.

"Then let's go." The purple haired girl said smiling.

"Yeah..." The redhead replied.
