Chapter 13
Megumi's
Darkness
The sun beat down onto Sasuke as he walked through the forest. He heard rustling in the bushes and he through a kunai at it. A cat of pure black with a purple ribbon with a bell jumped out. "Meow!" it hissed at Sasuke. "Come here, Mucha," said a voice behind him. Sasuke turned around to find Sasami leaning down to pick Mucha up. "Hi, Sasuke," she said. "Sasami," said Sasuke back. There was a silence. Sasuke noticed that Sasami's eyes were dark and she wasn't commenting on anything. Sasami turned around and started to walk away till she halted. She turned her head and stared at Sasuke. "Just to tell you, Megumi still loves you, she just doesn't know it yet," said Sasami. Sasuke froze. "Love?" he thought. "It's always been about avenging my clan!" thought Sasuke as he took a step back. "Megumi wanted me to give you this note," said Sasami as she walked away. "I got to go follow Megumi, bye," said Sasami not even facing him. Sasuke slowly opened the note.
Sasuke,
I'm leaving for the village hidden in the sand to finish the exams. I didn't come for you.
Megumi
Sasuke clenched the paper. "No!" he yelled. Sakura was walking over to Sasuke when a hand went over her mouth. "Sasuke!" she yelled. Sasuke turned around to see Itachi covering Sakura's mouth. "Itachi!" he yelled. "Hello Sasuke," said Itachi cooly. "Let go of Sakura!" Sasuke yelled as he darted towards Itachi. Sasuke grabbed Sakura and leaped into the air. Itachi smirked. Suddenly a gang of men appeared and attacked Sasuke. "Itachi, relying on men to beat me instead of you?" yelled Sasuke. "I just don't want anyone to get in the way like that girl!" exclaimed Itachi. Sasuke grrrd as he kicked one of the guys. "What the heck!" yelled Naruto as he jumped into battle.
Megumi gasped. "What's wrong Megumi?" asked Yuki-sensei. "Why do I have this bad feeling?" thought Megumi. "I'll meet you guys at the neighboring village!" yelled Megumi as she dashed of. Megumi ran through some bushes to see Sasuke staring at Itachi while Itachi glared back on a cliff. Naruto and Sakura were beat up and were watching while laying on the ground. Naruto kept yelling at them but they just kicked him twice. "Itachi, what are you doing!" yelled Megumi seeing that Sasuke was beat up. "Just finishing the work," said Itachi with a smirk. Sasuke's eyes turned red while Itachi's did too. Sharingan! Sasuke did three hand signs. "Fire style!" he yelled as he blew fire. Itachi jumped but the fire seemed to follow him. Suddenly the fire hit him. "A replacement jutsu!" yelled Sasuke. Itachi appeared behind him and hit him across the edge. Megumi fell on the ground horrified. The battle dragged on till Itachi did fast hand signs and pointed at Sasuke. Suddenly Sasuke started to crouch on the ground. Megumi gasped. "I feel so heavy!" yelled Sasuke. "Time to finish you of!" yelled Itachi as he pointed at Sasuke. "NO!" yelled Megumi.
Right before Itachi attacked Sasuke Megumi grabbed him. Itachi stopped. Sasuke leaned on the ground, not feeling heavy. Megumi helled him tight. "No Itachi, I'll do anything!" yelled Megumi as tears streaked her face. Itachi grabbed Megumi by the face. Sakura gasped while Itachi kissed Megumi. Naruto gasped as well while Sasuke flinched. Megumi hit Itachi on the neck and Itachi fell on the ground unconscious. Sasuke stared in shock. "Uh, what do we do now?" asked one of the guys. "Let's kill all of the kids!" yelled one as he attacked. Sasuke couldn't move in shock and Naruto and Sakura were in no condition to fight. Suddenly the body's of the men were on the ground, dead.Sakura screamed. Naruto was shocked. Sasuke was frozen. Megumi had a whip like thing around her arm, which was a light green blue. Megumi had her back to Sasuke and the others. "Me-Megumi?" asked Sasuke quietly. Megumi was covered in bruises and blood. She turned her head. Sasuke gasped when he saw her red eyes. "Uchiha Sasuke, I've waited a long time!" said Megumi cooly. "I can kill Itachi later, when he's concious," said Megumi with a smirk. Sasuke got up. "What's with you!" yelled Sasuke as he slowly walked towards her. Megumi smirked and the whip like weapon hit him. "Sasuke!" yelled Sakura as she ran towards him. "This is the Shinigami, death god, handy weapon isn't it," said Megumi as she walked towards him. Sakura stood in front of Sasuke. "Stay back!" yelled Sakura. Megumi looked angry. "How inconsiderate, you hurt Megumi and you still go to this weakling!" yelled Megumi. "That's not Megumi!" thought Sasuke. "For one million years I've waited to kill the Uchihas' and now!" yelled Megumi as she held the Shinigami up. Sakura held Sasuke. The whip went down and...
