...18. you guessed it, another chapter...
"Why do you seem so different? It's like I've never met you." Sasuke added seeing her tension. She smiled and said it was nothing. Should I tell him…no, not now…He might hurt his brother. Itachi…I hope he's ok. Kana was right, Kakashi was there.
"Come on, it looks like there was a battle. I'd like you to see." He said. Oh no, they found it. I hope they don't know who it was…
They followed him into the forest, there was a few kuni in a tree, and a scorch mark where kana's Jutsu had started. Kana held in a tear.
"I feel like I have seen this before…" Sasuke whispered quietly to himself. Kakashi appeared to have heard.
"What did you say?"
"I Think I had a dream about this, that's all." Kakashi nodded and looked at Kana as if he was accusing her of something. She looked down.
"What happened in your dream?" He asked Sasuke.
"Well, my brother came back, and I was fighting him. I think Kana was there. Then he…he…"
"He what?" Kakasi asked.
" He… used a Jutsu and took control of her. She attacked me and I fell unconscious, then I woke up later and saw her, she told me it would be alright in a little. That's all I remember. I know it was a dream because I remember what I did yesterday." Kakashi nodded and looked at Kana again.
"I wonder what happened." Kana said, trying to use it as a cover-up. She was skilled at lying.
"From what I can tell someone very powerful was here. There was no blood, but I can sense that there was some chakra used. There was about two or three people, if there where two, they jumped around a lot." He explained. He showed them the signs that he found and how to interpret them.
"Come on, lets go. I just thought I'd show you before I called the Hokage." He said. They went to the Hokage Office.
(inside the office, only Kakashi went it, but this is what Kana could hear)
He had a large room where he decided on matters. There was a table in the middle , so those who came to discuss could rest.
"So Kakashi, why have you come, something about a battle?" the 'Kage asked.
"Yes, in the forest. I don't think anyone got hurt. It might have been Itachi." Kakashi said seriously. The Hokage waited sometime before answering.
"Why would Itachi come and go without doing anything, he must have come for Sasuke, but Sasuke's still alive, correct?"
"Yes…but I don't think he came for no reason."
"Why do you think he came then?"
"I'm not sure…but I have my suspicions about Kana."
"Kana?" The Hokage said surprised." What could she have done?" Kana was usually quite helpful, every once in a while she would even substitute for a Chuunin at the academy.
"I think she might have something to do with Itachi. She may betray the village, but the only proof I have is the battle scene and Sasuke's dream."
"What about this dream of Sasuke's? How is it relevant to Itachi?"
"I think…" He stopped." I think Kana might be able to change memories." There was another silence.
"What exactly happened in Sasuke's dream?"
Kakashi explained the dream exactly as Sasuke had.
"I see. You think that this might have actually happened?"
"Yes, Kana might have changed his memories to protect Itachi."
"Itachi does not need protecting. He could have killed Sasuke in a second. Sasuke would be dead if those where his intentions, as I said before."
outside
"I wonder why they are taking so long." Sakura said out loud. Kana knew why, she could hear them, but she pretended not to.
" I don't know…I wonder if it's about the forest. She was staring into space think about Itachi. Then about Sasuke. She couldn't bear for either of them to get hurt.
back inside
"Maybe…no…maybe Kana…no" Kakashi said aloud as he thought of what might have happened.
"I think Itachi might have taken Kana somewhere after Sasuke was knocked out, he might have…no. Only Kana could have done that…." He decided, but again the doubts came.
"This is puzzling. Maybe you should take me to this 'battle scene', I might be able to tell who's Chakras was used and when." The Hokage said.
"Ok." Was Kakashi's final word before they went out.
