Chapter Ten: The Wrath of Thunder

Somewhere outside the gates of Konoha, "I will kill you…you who pretended to be my friend" a man muttered with sleek blond hair and clear blue eyes.

"Hey I'm just gonna go to the church okay?" Ryumi said as she waited for Natsume's reply. Natsume was painting her fingernails and Aya had just gone out with Ino and Sakura. "Sure, isn't Itachi coming with you?" she asked "no…" she answered. "Ok, bye then, don't forget to bring me back something I could eat" Natsume reminded as she brushed off her long silver hair.

Ryumi tied her hair in a high ponytail and braded it, her hair reached to the end of her back! She remembered how Itachi liked girls with long hair. She wore a pink outfit that day. As she walked out of the palace, Itachi cornered her, "Are you sure you'll go off without me?" Itachi asked, "Yup" Ryumi answered coyly. For a moment Itachi hesitated, then with puppy dog eyes Ryumi was able to convince him. "Ryumi, you've changed" Itachi said, Ryumi merely smiled as she held Itachi's cheeks and slightly pinched it, "Yes, I have, I wont remain a child forever Itachi-kun I am strong now" She said as she walked past him, "Trust me, Itachi-kun if you followed me, I'm never going to forgive you" Ryumi said as she made the run for it.

Ryumi arrived in the chapel, an old abandoned chapel where nobody really goes. It was a mystery, how did that chapel got there in the first place. But it was a memorable place for Ryumi. When she entered she suddenly felt strange. Like she's watching a movie of flashing memories. The old church has its roofs holed and the sun beaming brightly at the insides of the church. The stained glass added colors to the flowers that had grown inside the old ruins the chairs were disarranged and the walls crumbled but still… this place was where she had her first kiss…

She remembered it….

Itachi held her hair, they were thirteen… he rested his arms against her shoulders and his forehead against hers then stared at each other before Itachi kissed her… softly, like butterfly kiss. He respects her then he moved away, both blushing slightly when they kissed each other again. This time it was sincere and passionate. They locked each other in sweet embrace. This was a feeling where you would just wish that time would stop and you would remain like that. But then it didn't last forever.

Shien stood there by the massive entrance shocked, he loved Ryumi yes he did but he cant believe it, Ryumi chose Itachi to be her guardian then this. Shien was very vocal, everyone knows he likes Ryumi, but no body noticed Ryumi and Itachi falling for each other. Shien went berserk as he ran away, He can't believe it, like he has been betrayed by two of his closest friends, he thought Itachi and him has an understanding. Itachi chased after him followed by Ryumi then… lighting struck Shien!

They found no body but it was positive that was struck by a very strong lighting, no one could've survived that…. That is where she got her strong fear of thunder Keraunophobia

Finally she remembered too many memories…

Ryumi held the pendant of her necklace. "So many things had happened" She said, then she heard footsteps, thinking of Itachi she looked behind her smiling. But what she saw was not Itachi… it was a man, a man with sleek blonde hair and crystal blue eyes, and on his shoulder was the unconscious Sasuke, "SASUKE-KUN" Ryumi screamed as the man threw Sasuke towards her.

Ryumi caught Sasuke and laid him on the soft bed of flowers, the man glare at her, "Where is he?" the man demanded as Ryumi faced him her eyebrows crossed, she didn't answer, "where is he?" he demanded again. "No one is here!" Ryumi snapped, and then finally the man entered the part where there is light so that Ryumi can see him better. To her shock! She clasps her hands and her eyes widened, her heart beating fast. "Shien!" she cried as she ran towards him thinking Shien would embrace her, "he is alive! I really can't believe this!" Ryumi thought. But as she was just a foot from Shien he grabbed her by the arm and kissed her! She was shocked as she tried to break free from him. Then she felt something tingle in her spines and she fell unconscious. For a moment…

Back in konoha, everyone has spread the news that Ryumi was missing, "it has been hours since she left!" Tsunade said panicking. "Damn it! I never should have let her go" Itachi hissed. Then Shien stood on top of the palace roof. Everyone saw him carrying both Ryumi and Sasuke, Shien tilted Ryumi's head and kissed her, Then he held up Ryumi but the hair on the right hand and Sasuke's neck on the left who were both unconscious. " Who is more important to you" Shien asked, "Shien! Damn you" Itachi yelled as he glared at him his eyes threatening him and his anger raging. "I told you, if I can't have her, no one will" Shien said as he threw Sasuke toward him, he hurled what seemed to be lightning while Sasuke was falling, Itachi caught him. Sakura screamed, then finally Itachi placed Sasuke near him.

"Let her go" Itachi demanded, his voice stoic. Shien held unconscious Ryumi in the air and began pulling of her buttons one by one. "No way!" Aya cried, as Natsume was about to attack Itachi stopped her and jumped over the roof and aimed at Shien, "don't you dare touch her!" Itachi said as he was about to attach, Shien pushed Ryumi towards Itachi. Immediately Tsunade and Shizume came to Ryumi and Sasuke's aid. "Darn it, what is happening!" Tsunade said.

"I can't believe it, Shien is alive" Kakashi muttered, "Yeah" Jiraiya said looking stern, "What's goin on?" Naruto asked, watching both Sakura and Ino mend Sasuke while Aya was with her sister. " Let's finish this" Itachi said, "I have waited for so long Itachi, to take what is most important to you, just like how you took Ryumi" Shien said, Itachi attacked him with clones but he was moving too fast. "Ryumi is not your property she has the right to choose" Itachi said, "and he chose you?" Shien sneered, "Well I don't think so. She is mine" he said as he hurled a lighting bolt at Itachi which was dodged. With the sound of that Ryumi awoke trembling. Shien laughed hysterically. "I am from the hidden lighting country" he said, "I got my power that day that day you betrayed me" he hurled another and Ryumi screamed. "That's right Ryumi scream" he said, Itachi bit his lips that it bled. Ryumi was palpitating really hard, seeing this Itachi clenched his fists and soon everyone felt a strong amount of chakra coming from Itachi.

Tsunade explained the current situation that Shien Kasuya is a missing nin from the hidden thunder country. That he received his power from the god of thunder himself that day he disappeared.

Itachi's chakra became visible to the naked eye. With this Shien attacked with a thunder in his clenched fists he tried to hit Itachi and he was moving with lightning speed. "Your speed is useless" Itachi said, "Really?" Shien sneered. "My sharingan can see the movement even before you can execute it" Itachi said. "Then take this!" the man cried as he made handseals and immediately lighting began to strike nonstop in Konoha, like it was raining lightning. Tsunade, Shizune and Jiraiya made a barrier for everyone, this s when the jounins were aware that something was happening. Itachi however was enduring the pain from the lightning and focused more on releasing chakra, he got hit here and there, Ryumi screamed for his name but he didn't listen.

Trembling Ryumi broke from the barrier and ran to Itachi's aid before anybody could stop her "RYUMI!" Natsume cried, "NEEE-CHAN" Aya followed, but Ryumi as soon as reaching Itachi held him from behind, "We can do this" She said trembling, "Ryumi…" Itachi thought. And then chakra began to envelope the two of them. The bearer of light and her guardian, this was their bond. Itachi opened his eyes, his eyes now narrow and deadly, "KATON: AMATERASU no JUTSU" he cried and with this, Black flames came forth from his mouth, Ryumi holding on to him tight transferring her chakra to his. The flames were huge and immediately it swallowed Shien. It took about 2 minuits before Itachi could drain off the fire. Both he and Ryumi fell to their knees.
