Chapter 19: Goumon no sharingan activates fully

'No… not Phire… stop…' Sasuke kept saying these words over and over again in the hospital. Kakashi and the rest of Team 7 had gone. Phire had also gone, because Tsunade wanted to interrogate her.

'He keeps saying your name,' Tsunade told her. 'What happened?' Phire looked worried, and she shrugged; she only knew that Itachi was going to use the new sharingan, but exactly what type of torture, she didn't know herself, so she would be half lying if she said I don't know.

'I'm not very sure,' she half-lied.

'Really? What have you done the past few days when Sasuke was around?' Tsunade asked. Phire shrugged.

'Nothing to make him like this,' she lied. Tsunade worried, and wasn't able to find out what was going on. When Phire went inside to see Sasuke, he woke up, and when she went and sat on the edge of his bed, he hugged her.

'Don't leave me, please, don't do this to me! How could you be so cruel!' he kept saying, crying. He also started punching her, but not enough for Phire to say 'ow'. Everybody sighed.

Phire was confused; what should she not do? She then had an idea of what Itachi must have put into his head.

'Forgive me, Sasuke,' Phire started to say, but Sasuke backed away from Phire, and grabbed his pair of sai.

'GET OUT OF MY LIFE YOU BASTARD! YOU RUINED EVERYTHING!' Sasuke yelled, attacking Phire with the pair of sai. She took her sword out quickly and disarmed him, so they flew and hit the wall. Sasuke then growled, and his sharingan eyes were seen. Kakashi grabbed Sasuke and made him fall asleep with a genjutsu, and then looked at Phire.

'I don't understand, Kakashi, why is he acting like this?' Phire asked, confused. 'I didn't do anything to him…' Kakashi grabbed her head and made her look at him.

'Who gave it to you?' he asked. She got out of his grasp.

'This isn't the'-

'Tell me now,' he growled, interrupting her. She knocked him to the ground badly. Sakura ran to Sasuke, and Naruto looked back and forth from Sasuke to Phire to Kakashi again and again.

'Wait a minute! Gave what? What's going on!' Naruto complained, very confused.

'Phire, who the hell gave it to you?' Kakashi growled. She turned her back to him, and then just disappeared.

'Oo, that's harsh,' Naruto said. That was really rude for a Konoha ninja to do that to another Konoha ninja. Kakashi was angrier than ever, and he just left the room.

'Naruto, what's going on?' Sakura asked, hugging Sasuke. Naruto sighed, as he had no clue what was going on.

'I don't know either, Naruto,' Sakura told him. Sasuke started mumbling the same words again.

'Phire, don't do this to me… please stay,' he kept mumbling, tired. His head hurt worse than ever. Sakura hugged him tighter, and started crying.

'Sasuke, what's wrong?' she asked, looking at him. He was really worn out, and why he kept saying Phire's name was a mystery.

'ITACHI STOP!' Sasuke growled, getting out of Sakura's arms, and throwing a kunai at the wall. Naruto and Sakura looked surprised at Sasuke.

'Itachi! Where!' Naruto asked. Sasuke panted, and Sakura was confused; who was Itachi?

'Where's Phire?' he asked Sakura and Naruto. They said that she just left, and Sasuke cursed, and then ran outside. The two followed.

'Phire, come back here!' Kakashi growled, making the exploding clone explode.

'Kakashi!' Tsunade called out to Kakashi. He turned around.

'Hai?' he asked. Tsunade had a kunai in her hand.

'We have to find Phire; she knows what is wrong with Sasuke,' Tsunade told him, anger splashing within her eyes. He nodded.

'What about the necklace? Where did she get it from?' Kakashi asked. Tsunade shrugged.

'Wait a minute; maybe that person has something to do with'- Tsunade stopped, and Kakashi and Tsunade screamed the name really loud.

'Itachi!' they screamed, their eyes widening.

'He gave her that necklace! And he must have used mangekyou sharingan!' Kakashi told Tsunade. She nodded, and had a very angry look on her face.

'That traitor,' she said in a low growl. (They meant that Phire was a traitor)

'What if Itachi made her?' Kakashi asked. Tsunade shook her head.

'She's stronger than Itachi; I know only because she defeated Jiraiya, in which Itachi didn't,' Tsunade told him. He nodded.

'Yes, her chakra is much more immense than Itachi's; besides, we've got to find her now,' Kakashi told her. She nodded.

'Kuchiyose no jutsu!' Kakashi summoned his dog tracker Pakkun, and a lot of Jounin were sent out to look for Phire.

'So Phire betrayed Konoha?' Naruto asked Iruka, who went and took care of all of the Genins. He sighed.

'She lied to us when she told us she was from Hidden Moon village; she's not from Hidden Moon,' he told Naruto. Sasuke was there, too, and he grabbed his head as the pain increased.

'Sasuke, what do you see in your head?' Iruka asked Sasuke.

'Phire betraying me,' Sasuke told him. They looked at him strange.

'She told me that she would help me… but… she betrayed me,' Sasuke told them.

'Help you in what?' Iruka asked.

'Killing Itachi, she told me that she'd help train me for that,' Sasuke told him. Iruka widened his eyes.

'And she killed you in your illusion?' Iruka asked. He shook his head.

'Worse,' Sasuke told him. Iruka was concerned, and so were Naruto and Sakura.

'Then what, Sasuke-kun?' Sakura asked.

'She'-

'Everybody go back to what you were doing!' Shizune yelled to everybody, interrupting Sasuke. He then took the opportunity to run, and he left Konoha, and went the same way from before. As he sprinted a few miles, he felt the presence of his brother nearby.

'ITACHI!' he growled. Itachi saw Sasuke, and used goumon no sharingan to make the pain in Sasuke's head worse by making the scene in his head worse; the dialogue, mostly.

'STOP! DON'T! NO!' Sasuke fell on his knees and held his head. Blood started to come out of it a little. Itachi came out.

'So this is what it does; not kill, but torture… painfully,' Itachi thought. He then grabbed Sasuke by the throat and choked him with one hand, and then threw him into a tree. Before hitting the tree, though, Phire caught him. Itachi glared at her.

'Stop this,' Sasuke cried, his eyes closed. His whole body was shaking, and he couldn't stop. Phire put him down gently on the ground, and looked at Itachi.

'That's enough, Itachi,' Phire told him. He didn't listen to Phire, and he kept torturing Sasuke. Sasuke growled, coughing out blood, and his head throbbed with so much pain, it was over the amount of chakra he had.

'STOP PHIRE! GET AWAY FROM MY BROTHER!' he yelled. Phire looked to him, and then saw what he saw, and glared at Itachi.

'Why are you doing this to him?' Phire asked him, angry. Itachi raised an eyebrow.

'Wait a minute, you never had goumon no sharingan before!' Phire growled, tackling Itachi to the ground. He raised an eyebrow.

'So you never really liked me, huh?' Phire growled, sticking a kunai just under his throat. He shook his head.

'I'd like you even if the sharingan weren't possible to get,' he told her. She felt a tear of blood drop down her face.

'So you needed me because you felt lonely?' she asked him. 'That's a lie…' she started crying, and she backed away from him. He took the kunai out.

'Partly,' he muttered. 'If I didn't need the sharingan, I wouldn't have called you anyways.' She looked down and fell on her knees.

'You wouldn't have even cared of the whole journey! Besides, YOU WOULD HAVE CALLED ME FOR YOUR STUPID AKATSUKI SHIT GROUP!' she growled, crying. She looked down, and had her eyes closed. Itachi closed his eyes.

'Phire, I have what I want… the sharingan, and a bonus, you,' he told her. 'I was too busy to even think about being lonely.' She glared at him. A bonus? Was she just material to him? She sighed, because she couldn't do anything about it. He did seem to have a slight bit of feelings for her, though. She didn't look up at him, and he bent down on one knee and hugged her tightly.

'Then don't let go,' she muttered, her head buried deep into his chest. He ran his fingers through her hair.

'...,' he didn't say anything to that, but just looked at her. 'Now let's get out of here,' he told her. She nodded, and they teleported away to the hotel, only to find the two most annoying kids on the planet arrive.
