Disclaimer: I Don't Own Naruto But Melody is my creation
Melody woke with a start unnerved by an ominous presence in the room. She peered through the hazy darkness but the only thing she saw was Sasukes sleeping form near the window. Melody walked silently over to the tinny desk and picked up her bag and threw it over her shoulder. She jumped swiftly out the window landing on the soft ground below.She made her way to the training grounds to clear her mind and get in some target practice alone. She tossed her bag down by a tree and pulled out a set of needles which hadn't been laced with a non lethal poison. She had been there for a little over an hour when she heard hurried footsteps and her name in a heated debate. She laughed as the origin of the voices came into the clearing.
"OK children knock it off" Melody said her eyes sparkling with contempt. They stopped only the occasional glare was seen.
"How did you get out with out me noticing"Sasuke asked curiously.
"It wasn't that hard to..." She trailed off her terrified eyes fixed on something behind sasuke. He turned kunai in hand but faltered when he saw his brother standing on the other side of the clearing. Itachi stood smiling maliciously he began to approach them then disappeared. Sasuke and Melody looked around knowing he wasn't gone.
"Come out you coward" Sasuke yelled his anger getting the better of him. Melody watched for movement with he poison laced needles at her side ready at any time. A shadow sprang from a dark cove of trees with panther like agility. The shadow sprang at sasuke but Melody pushed him out of the way taking the hit.
"We are even" She said be fore passing out. Sasuke charged at Itachi kunai drawn ready to kill. Itachi laughed coldly.
"My my my, If I'm not mistaken I'd say your in love with that girl" He said skillfully dodging every one of sasukes blows. Sasuke faltered slightly and Itachi nailed him in the stomach pinning him to a tree.
"What does it matter" Sasuke choked smiling. A low pitch hum could be heard but no source could be found. Itachi's eyes widened as something hit him his body grew limp and he crumpled to the ground. Sasukes eye's met melody's as she fell to her knees he caught her before she hit the ground. He heard movement behind them and turned to see Itachi get up pulling the poison needle from his neck and dropping it to the ground his eyes wild. Sasuke took a defensive stance and faced his brother his mind on one goal in mind. Itachi charged at him as if possessed by demons sasuke dodged and made his counter attack from mid air Itachi managed to dodge it clumsily.
"The poison in your blood is slowing you down" Sasuke said amused by the site of a murderer stumbling and making reckless decisions. He came close to Sasuke who thought nothing could be dangerous he could kill him and be done with it.
"Wrong foolish little brother" Itachi said as he pulled out a kunai narrowly missing Sasukes exposed neck. Sasuke retreated a bit ready to attack full force. Itachi sprang forward tossing a kunai behind him confusion filled sasukes eyes. A scream of pain filled the air as the kunai made contact with Melody's body a pool of blood beginning to form around her motionless body.
"Melody" Sasuke the sharingan flaring as he charge at Itachi in a blind rage. "YOU BASTARD YOU'LL PAY" He screamed ramming a kunai into Itachi's chest just missing his vital organs. The distinct sound of breaking bone could be heard as Sasuke and Itachi collided with the ground. Sasuke glared down at his brother a demonic smile played at his lips as he held a kunai at Itachi's throat.
"I've waited my entire life for this moment" He cried out "You took everything from and I've survived to get my revenge it ends here" He said as fear filled Itachi's eyes as he grasped Sasuke's arm in a last ditch effort to stop him. Sasuke made one swift movement and Itachi's hand fell to the ground and his eyes grew dark then completely lifeless. Sasuke got up and walked over to melody who was miraculously still breathing is was ragged and labored but at least she was alive. Naruto and sakura entered the clearing and Sasuke walking toward then carrying melody bridal style.
"Sasuke what happ..." Sakura trailed off as she saw the bloody lifeless body of Itachi laying in the middle of the clearing. Sasuke ignored her completely passing them by as if they weren't there. They quietly followed him as he made his way to the hospital. he pushed thru the doors and placed her frail form on an empty bed and doctors pushed him out of the way and a nurse pulled him into a room to tend to his wounds. He tried his best to hear what the doctors were saying but only got a few woods "She's lost too much blood...These wounds are to grave...Doctor we're losing her" Sasuke's eyes filled with tears as he sat alone in the small room the pain of 15 years flowing down his bloodstained cheeks. He felt the nurse place a hand on her shoulder smiling kindly.
"You may see her now they've stabilized her she is going to pull thru" Sasuke wasted no time. He fell to his knees beside her bed taking her hand in his own tears still flowing from his eyes. He felt some thing on his face and opened his eyes Melody smiled weakly up at him.
"I thought I'd lost you" He said pulling her into his arms.She draped her arms around his neck. "I was so afraid to lose the one person I fell in love with" He whispered to her gently.
"You know me I'm to stubborn to die that easy" She said in complete shock. They then heard a commotion from outside the door.
"I'm sorry sir only one person at a time..." Some one said trying to sound nice. A loud bang was heard as some one slammed their fist on the counter.
"I'm her father for god sake" The voice yelled and soon after the door flew open and both Melody and Sasuke sat there in shock as the person came thru the door.
