Well, I got two reviews, so I'm not deleting it. Oh happy day (sarcasm). I actually like this story the most, so I'm updating it.
XXXTayen hummed while reading her book. She thought about the day's events and about her brother, Sasuke. She felt a presence nearby and sat up.
She looked around the deserted platform, wondering what had caused her to feel like that. She turned around one more time and decided it was all in her mind.
"Why aren't you dead?" a voice asked quietly to Tayen's right.
Tayen whipped around and stared hard into the space, activating her Sharingan.
"That won't do you any good," the voice mocked quietly, to her left this time.
The scared girl looked around again and called out, "Who's there?"
The voice simply snickered and said softly, "You're worst nightmare."
XXXKakashi appeared in the clearing, late, as usual.
"Sorry I'm late, I was stopped by a batch of lost geese…" Kakashi trailed off, seeing the empty clearing before him.
Tayen was always on time. Why stop now?
Kakashi puzzled about this for a couple of minutes and decided that Tayen had probably forgotten. He walked off to where her house in the trees was, pulling out his book.
He hummed and giggled at inappropriate parts.
Tayen backed away from her eldest brother.
"W-what do you want?" she asked hesitantly.
"Simply to kill you. You see, you are an obstacle in my path to power, and because of that, you will be destroyed," Itachi replied, slipping a kunai into his hand.
"Not gonna happen!" Tayen shouted boldly, slipping through a hole on the platform.
Itachi walked calmly over to the hole and looked down.
He saw his sister land and run away from the spot.
Itachi smirked. A chase. Fun. I always loved chases, and of course, the part where I kill them.
Itachi counted to fifteen and then raced after the other Uchiha.
Kakashi looked up at the sound of feet on grass.
One moment he was alone, the next Tayen was racing by him. He reached out and easily grabbed her arm.
"Whoa! Tayen, what's wrong?" Kakashi asked, turning to face the girl.
"Ita…chi's…here!" she forced out between breaths.
Kakashi stiffened and said one word to the terrified girl.
"Run."
Tayen looked at her sensei one last time and ran off.
Kakashi put away his book and leapt into the trees. He watched as his student raced away, picking up speed with her chakra.
Kakashi felt another presence in the clump of trees. He pushed up his headband and opened his left eye.
"Ah, Kakashi. We meet again," came the soft voice of Itachi.
"I was hoping we wouldn't," Kakashi countered.
Itachi chuckled and Kakashi threw a kunai in that direction.
"You're going to have to do better than that," Itachi stated plainly, right behind Kakashi.
Kakashi's eyes widened and he whipped around.
Itachi smirked.
"I would like to-" he dodged a kick to his head, "continue this fight a bit more but-," he countered a punch, "I have someone to kill."
Itachi focused his chakra and activated his Mangekyou Sharingan.
Kakashi felt another presence (I know I use that word a lot) in his mind and immediately tried to push it out.
"My, my, Kakashi. You've been practicing." Itachi said and then concentrated harder.
Kakashi tried once more but failed.
Kakashi felt as if he was being drawn and quartered. As he watched his organs burn before him, he screamed out once.
Itachi smirked once and knew that it had worked. Kakashi collapsed on the ground and Itachi raced away.
You won't get far little sister. You can run, but you can't hide. I will kill you and you will die this time. Itachi thought evilly.
Suddenly a black form dropped in front of Itachi.
Itachi stopped in his tracks.
"Kisame?" he asked, irritated.
"Hi. What are you doing here?" the Akatsuki member asked rather bluntly.
"I'm killing someone, so go away while you still have your life," Itachi threatened.
Kisame looked defiant for a second then nodded.
"I'm going back to headquarters then," he stated.
"Whatever," Itachi said, racing past the blue man.
Tayen raced up to her brother's apartment.
"Sasuke!" she called out, frantically banging on the door.
"Tayen what is it?" Sasuke asked, opening the door.
"Itachi's here!" she cried.
Sasuke stiffened and stepped outside as well.
"We have to tell the Hokage," he said, racing off holding Tayen by the hand.
When they reached her office, they burst in to see Tsunade drinking a huge bottle of sake.
"Itachi's in Konoha!" Sasuke shouted to the older woman.
Tsunade bolted upright and said, "Get the ANBU and pronto!"
Sasuke nodded and left Tayen with Tsunade.
"Uhh…hi," Tayen said hesitantly.
Itachi stopped in his tracks and looked up at the sky.
I'm coming to get you little sister.
I know it's short, but I have to go to bed!
Please review!
