Chapter 3

5pm

"We've been walking for hours.." The boy whined.

"So?"

"I'm getting tired."

"So?" Itachi repeated.

".. I think your missing the point.." the boy glared at Itachi.

"Occupy yourself," Itachi suggested.

"Okay... how?"

Itachi rolled his eyes. "Play a game or something," He watched the boy think for a second then continued looking down the path.

"...Like.." The boy asked after a while.

".. Uh.. I duh-no, make one up..." Iatchi stated getting annoyed

"Okay... I don't know any games."

"Just find a random object and see how many of that object you can find," Itachi stated in an annoyed tone

"Okay.. hmm.."

10pm and 395, 654 trees later (lost count 10min ago)

"Why do you have red eyes?" The boy asked cocking his head to the side.

"Because I like my Sharingan," Itachi answered promptly.

"Oh, what does it do?"

"Copies your opponents techniques."

"Oh, can you teach me how to get it?" The boy asked curiously.

Itachi looked down at the kid "No."

"Aw why not? I'm sure if I train hard enough I can get it," The boy started kicking a random rock as he walked.

"Thats not it. You can't get it. It's an Uchiha bloodline," Itachi explained kicking the rock towards the kid since it landed in front of him.

"Oh... so. Does Sasuke have it too?" The kid asked kicking the rock into a bush "Aw.. I was playing with that..." He started kicking a different rock, "oh well."

"Yes, why do you want to learn about the Sharingan all the sudden?" Itachi wondered. He stopped walking and looked around. "We'll camp here. Go get some firewood."

"But I'm not done asking questions..." The kid whined walking around and picking up some thick short branches.

"Ask me later and get the firewood I'm sure your hungry," Itachi stated as he leaned against a nearby tree.

The kid's face brightened up at the word that meant he could eat soon. "..FOOD!" Suddenly he was racing around as fast as he could grabbing branches. A short while later he dropped the branches in front of Itachi. "Is this enough? Can we eat now?"

They.. meaning the kid sat up camp.. though their wasn't much to set up... Itachi finished cooking and handed a plate to the kid. The fire lit up the darkness around them.

A large grin covered the kid's face and within moments the plate was empty. "That was good. Is there enough for seconds?" He asked looking up at Itachi who hadn't even had time to take one bite of his food.

"Did you even get to taste it?... That's all you get 'till tomorrow morrning," Itachi said half amazed at how fast the boy ate.

"Awww.. Oh yeah, I almost forgot.. I have to finish asking questions."

Itachi shook his head and started to eat.

"... Lets see the last question asked was... Oh yeah, to answer the question you asked is: because it just seems familar for some reason... The whole Sharingan thing and all that is..." The boy stated as he thought about why it was familar.

Itachi looked up at the kid for a second before continuing to eat. 'If I didn't know any better I would mistake him as an Uchiha but they're all dead except chibi and me. Plus, his eyes are blue not black... Could he be.. nah,' he thought quietly to himself.

"... I'm bored."

"So go do some light training." Itachi suggested

The kid looked over at him with a 'are you kidding?' look, "What?"

"Do some kunai throwing."

"... Hmmm okay.. give me some," The kid looked at Itachi mischieviously.

"...Didn't I already give you some?"

The kid grinned. "..Uh.. I think, but I can't find them..." He rubbed the back of his neck.

Itachi rolled his eyes. " How could you lose them? Oh well, here," Itachi handed the kid his kunias and shurikens "I want them back though."

"Fine." with that the kid walked off. He didn't go far though. Itahci could still see him.

The kid walked up to a tree and dug a small hole in the bark. After that he back up and started trowing the kuni at it. He trew it sevral times before getting extremly bored and stopping. He sat down beside Itachi "It's too easy.. and no fun."

"You need to go to sleep anyways." Itachi stated looking at the boy.

"Awww.. Fine.. your proble gonna make me get up early and then not eat..." The boy sat down "Can I go for a walk first.. just to check out the land scape?"

"You whinned about walking all day today and then I tell you to sleep and you want to walk... fine whatever. Just don't get into trouble." Itachi stated rolling his eyes and trying to figure the boy's logic out.

"Kay-Kay I shall return." the boy laughed as he ran off into the woods looking for something to do.

He was about 5 minutes away form camp when he saw a pond. A large rock over looked it on the east side. "Cool." he mumbled walking up and sitting on the edge of the rock letting his feet hang off over the water. 'I want to remember but I can't. Damn it why can't I. It should be easy but its not..' "Damn it." He said out loud subcontiosly and trew a near by rock at the water.

Leaves russled behind him. He turned to find Sasuke standing at the edge of the large rock. "Hn." Sasuke walked up nexted to the kid and picked him up by the front shirt collar. "Where is he?"

"Uh... Who are you refurring to?" The kid asked innoccently

"You know who I'm refurring to, now where is he?" Sasuke repeted tightnin g his grip

"You know there are a lot of he's in this world. How am I suppose to know which one you mean?"

"Are you playing around with me or are you just that dense." Sasuke sneered

The boy looked up at him "Depends."

Sasuke was getting annoyed he hung the kid over the rock and let go of his shirt so the kid fell straight into the cold water. "Your annoying."

The kid swam to the serface spitting and sputterung "Ya well your mean." He swam to the bank and walked back up to Sasuke dripping wet. He glared at Sasuke intencly. " What did I ever do to you? hn. Meanie." WIth that he kicked Sauske in the shin and ran off into the woods

"Ow! What the hell!" Sasuke raced after him. "Get back here you little brat!"

"Why?" The kid called back. "Huh?" The kid tripped and tumbled to the ground. Suddenly he was pick up and slammed into a tree.

"Where the hell did he go?" Sasuke asked himself before racing off to get Sakura and Naruto to help him find where ever the kid went.
