AN: I am so sorry this took so long to get out!!!! Enjoy for this is the last chapter and there will be no more after this!
I had locked myself in my room for days, refusing to go out, and for the millionth time Itachi was knocking on the door. I growled for he had awakened me with the sound.
"Leave me alone!" I yelled while pulling the comforter over my head
"Konan, I have been outside the door for three days, do you really expect me to leave you alone?"
"What do you want from me?"
"I want an explanation of what happened," He paused "I also have something to tell you, which is for your ears alone" I sighed as curiosity made me move to the door, in my under-outfit and wrapped my comforter around me for it was freezing. I opened the door a crack.
"What is it?"
"I need to tell you in a secure location" I sighed at his reply and opened the door more to let him through and closed the door. Then walked back to my bed to sit on, a quick look in the mirror showed my disheveled hair that I hadn't bothered to brush since the 'incident', sighed to myself and looked to Itachi as he looked around the room before focusing on me as well.
"Well, what is it you need to tell me that is for my ears alone?" I asked
"First you need to explain to me what this is" He said as he pulled the dreaded air freshener from inside his cloak causing me to instantly tense "Relax I am not going to spray it" he said as he threw it beside me on the bed
"It was an idea of mine for a prank, I was not expecting it to backfire as it did, when it is sprayed whoever smells it falls in love with the first person they see" He nodded, acknowledging that I had explained what he wanted to explain
"Ah, I guess this means it is now my turn to explain." He said "But how to start" He said as he turned away from me and faced the door "Do you remember what you asked me when you first came here all those months ago?"
"Not really" I said
"You asked to tell you what it felt like to kill my family and especially my parents and why I left my brother…"
"Yeah, go on"
"There is more to this story than most people know." He turned to me before "I grew up in war, and despise it"
"Then why…" He held up his hand to stop my question
"Please don't interrupt." He took a deep breath "My family was going to rage war on the Konoha village, and as a mission that I accepted as I was ANBU at that time, I killed my family" He looked disgusted at himself and turned around "But I couldn't kill my brother, for I wanted him to think what Konoha wanted him to think and kill me for it, and get as much power from me as possible after he kills me of course" He turned around to look at me "I tell you this for he is near and I know he has grown in power and I felt you needed to know the truth, for I have grown rather attached to you and I want you to make the right choice when it comes, and I say this now because my brother will kill me this encounter, I know it, and you of all the people here deserve a goodbye. And stay away from Tobi, there is a lot more to him than you know, and he is smarter and more manipulative than you think he is too" He came closer to my shocked face "Goodbye Konan, no, goodbye Cobalt" and with a swift kiss on my cheek he left me in my room. Itachi Uchiha was really an enigma he seemed like this dangerous killer, which he was but… the story that fled everywhere was so dead wrong it was infuriating. And even though I know I shouldn't I was starting to really like the side he had just shown me. Kindness was not something I was used to and it was nice, very nice.
I quickly threw the comforter away from me and brushed my hair and put my make-up as quickly as possible and ran out of my room and did a frantic search for the Uchiha who had infuriated me so many times before that had told me the true story of why he was so widely feared.
I found him in the kitchen and my presence shocked the Akatsuki members but what I did next shocked them even more…
I jumped into Itachi's arms and kissed him, wrapping my legs around his waist for extra measure. And for an added measure when we broke apart for air I whispered in his ear
"I am going to miss you" before he turned my face to look at me to kiss him again.
AN: I hope you didn't think that was the end of the chapter even though it would've been a good one, but our heroine needed to finish this chapter in a better way.
It had been a month since Itachi left to fight his brother and I was still having difficulty accepting his death. I had again locked myself in my room and had gone out to help Rei-dono with his Jiraiya problem and right after there was no need for me I went back into my room to sulk. His last words to me still rang in my head "After I'm gone get back to your dimension, I don't want them to use you for another war, you deserve more than that, you deserve peace……. And love"
While sulking I was fixing up the kinks in my dimension traveling machine and had finally gotten it working. I had begun to work on my last project, to destroy it after I had gone back home, using what I had built my room with I had finished the time bomb and wrote out my letter of resignation and glued it to the ceiling.
"Dear Akatsuki
This is my formal letter of resignation.
I do not want to be used to further a war in this world nor a world in my dimension.
I take my leave now, the explosion blowing up my hard work all these months so you may never come to my dimension, but know if you find some way to get to my world…
I WILL DESTROY YOU
Cobalt, formally known as Konan"
I set the bomb up for a good ten minutes and started the machine to get me out of this dreaded world. After pressing the necessary buttons I felt the nauseating feeling came over me again as well as feeling my body come apart one molecule at a time and looked at my hand, this time in happiness, as I saw I could look through it once more. My stomach dropped as it did the first time I dimension traveled and I instinctively closed my eyes as I felt I was spinning and then it just stopped. I opened my eyes to find the room I fist dimension travelled from and breathed in the familiar air. I let out a breath I had not known I had been holding and walked out of the dreaded machine, not before a quick slice to the cords and destroying the inside and outside of course.
I walked the familiar hallways I had been dreaming about for months and went into my office and saw someone else now owned it. I shrugged and went down the hallways and down the stair case and looked at the clock mounted above the exit to see it was now midnight. I laughed to myself knowing no one would enter the building that took everything important to me away for hours and instead of going outside I went to the basement where the generator was and setting up another bomb to go off 30 minutes before anyone got in. To waste time I walked the hallways of my past and stopped where my hell began, my mother's laboratory and melted the door to get in to see a major shock, it was a clone of me, disgusted I threw it to the ground and kicked it a couple of times and looked up to see more in large pools of green liquid. My anger sparked and I threw kunai at the pools and killed all the clones. Leaving the room to go to my father's office, again melting his door, I was disappointed to see nothing in it that reminded him of me, which stung, for my mother had missed me enough to make clones of me, while my father obviously didn't care. I sighed and nicked on his watches and some money, and decided to get out of the building before the bomb detonated and crossed the street to the sit on the bench to the bus stop that was out here in the middle of nowhere and looked at the watch.
"3 minutes to go" I said and looked at the building I had grown to hate.
My mind brought me back to the thing I last thought of before my adventure began and I said it aloud
"I hate a lot of things, but the number one spot has to go to the 'wonderful' gatherings I cough was forced to go to with my parents to the company they worked for, and that I forced to work at as well.
I didn't always hate those get-togethers. Quite the contrary, I actually enjoyed these get-togethers because it was usually the only time I got to spend with my parents." I looked down at the watch
1 minutes
"Itachi… I have decided to not kill my parents" I said to the wind looking up to the sky hoping he was listening to me "For from what you told me I realized I hated my parents for what they did to me which was all for the love of the company. So I actually hate the company, and without the building…"
30 seconds
"My revenge will be quenched"
At that moment I watched my parents come out of the parking garage and walking towards the building 100 yard away as it then exploded and smoke and ash rose into the sky as flames rose on the parts of the building that still remained and my parents looked at the building in shock as they lay 100 feet from where they once stood. I let a laugh creep out of my lips which was stopped abruptly as the bus approached I got on the bus attempting to look grim and shaken as I paid my fare
"Woah, what happened here?" The bus driver said
"Someone blew the building up"
"Did you work there are you hurt?"
"I used to work there" I said as I took my seat and looked out the window as more employees came on the scene. The bus headed down the road when an ambulance followed by three fire trucks. I smirked to myself and relaxed as I sat back in my seat.
"Now to start a new life and leave the past behind" I whispered to myself
