Blah Thought or Dream, Song

Blah Scene Change or Point of View Change

(Blah) Inner Sakura

Blah Chanting of Spells (Spells are in French, translations are at the end.)

"You're not Sasuke! Who are you and why do you look like my Sasuke?" Sakura demanded.

"Heh… Guess I can't fool you wrench. I'm just borrowing Sasuke's body while I get my revenge on little Michiru," "Sasuke" said. "And let me tell you who I am before I kill you. My name is Nero."

Sakura jumped up and backed away slowly from Nero. She didn't know what was going on, but the person who took Sasuke was about to kill her. He rushed at her with a sword that appeared in his hand. She was going to die…

She braced herself for the sword by closing her eyes but it never came to her. She opens her eyes and saw a boy in front of her blocking the sword with only his hands. His short hair was blond and she could see the muscles rippling on his back.

"Move it!" he ordered. "I can't hold Nero for long!"

Sakura ran into the forest and away from the person who stole Sasuke's body. She only hoped the others believed her.

"Heh… So this is Michiru's brother Bug," Nero said when Sakura ran off.

"What's it to you? I can tear you apart if I wanted to," Bug said as he grinned.

"You can tear me apart? I would like to see you try Bug," Nero said.

"Heheh… Too bad that I have an appointment to make. I'm sure Michiru will be around to deal with you. I'm here on my own mission," Bug said.

Nero thrust his sword and it went though Bug's body. Bug smiled as he disappeared and a log was in his place.

"Oh how lame. Unlike Michiru and the others, when I go into different worlds I can adapt to their magic or abilities. We shall meet again Nero," Bug's voice said from the forest.

"Yes we shall."

Itachi's POV

Itachi fell onto the hard ground as Michiru pushed him out of his way. He watched as the dagger came out of the shadows and noticed the figure that hurt his Michiru. He drew out his sword and got up from the ground.

"Shame… It didn't even go all the way though. You should be ashamed for not dying when told to Michiru," a voice said from the shadows.

"Dragon? You're… You're dead!" Michiru said as she spit blood on the ground that was welling up at her month.

Itachi felt frozen as Dragon came out of the shadows. Long brown hair with emerald green eyes, a tight black suit of leather, and in her hand was another dagger with a dragon engraved on the handle. Itachi felt frozen in place by her glare. Never have he been worried in his life. He was worried now. He held up his sword and was ready to strike if Dragon tried anything.

"I was dead. Nero was nice enough to grant me a chance to get revenge dear Onee-chan. I would serve him to get what I want," Dragon said with a half smile.

"Where's Sasuke? I know you two did something to him. I want Sas…"

Michiru passed out on the ground from the blood. Itachi ran to her and picked her up in his arms leaving his sword on the ground. He gave a stern look at Dragon and watched her.

"You will pay for what you have done to her Dragon! Go back to your grave!" Itachi screamed. For the first time in all his life tears came running down his eyes. He didn't want anything to happen to Michiru, but as she passed out he knew she called for his younger brother. Her heart would never be his and he knew it.

"Not until I see her last breath. And if you want to know what happen to your little brother, let's just say Nero is taking good care of him," Dragon laughed as she disappeared in front of his eyes. "Don't worry; you'll get your chance soon enough Itachi."

Itachi wanted to go after her, but with Michiru in his arms he couldn't do anything but find some help. He felt Michiru's hand grab his and slowly opened her eyes.

"I can heal myself… But if… if I do that. I won't have much time left to live…" Michiru said. She put her hand on the wound and a blue light came from her hand. Before Itachi could stop her, she was coughing up blood, but the wound was healed. She felt lighter in his arms and he held her close to him.

"Michiru… You shouldn't have…"

"Shh… I'm fine now. I have to stop Nero, and save Sasuke," Michiru said. Itachi placed her on the ground and helped her to stand up.

"You really love him don't you?" asked Itachi.

"Yes… But it won't matter anymore. He will never see me again," Michiru said.

"You will survive. I don't believe that you can die if you lose all of your powers," Itachi replied.

"We have to get to the others…" Michiru said.

"No. You need to rest Michiru. Let's go to the apartment. If I am correct then they will be after you again," Itachi said.

"You're crying… That's the first time you've done that Itachi," Michiru said with a smile. Itachi looked into her eyes and saw the pain behind them. She might be healed, but the pain was still there. He held her close once more and smiled.

"I am crying for you dear one. Never have I felt this way yet you love my brother. My heart is broken yet again and after you leave this world if will be like nothing happen. Can you understand that feeling?" Itachi asked.

"Yes… I have felt that way once before a long time ago. Nero ruined that for me. I'm so tried…" Michiru said. Itachi picked her up in his arms once again and she fell asleep in his grasp. He walked towards the apartment and went inside to get out of the rain that has started to fall on the ground.

TBC

Note: Couldn't wait since a certain author threatens to hurt me if I didn't update. I don't like it when she glares at me like that. And I did it on a cliffhanger too. Also as you noticed with the title, the story is coming to a close. But what happens in the end you will have to wait and see. –glee-
