Disappear

By: Silverwolf

Madara enters into a room yelling. The older Uchiha blinks finding the room empty. "ITACHI!" There is no repsonse. He steps through a door to a bathroom. Knocking on the door leaves him without a reply. Madara snatches the door open along with a closet door. His eyes scan all three areas to find nothing out of place. "ITACHI!" Once again the male recieves no reply. Madara begins dialing a phone. As soon as there's a voice on the other end Madara begins giving them orders to find Itachi.

Madara calls the staff to the house. He begins 'drilling' them for answers to Itachi's whereabouts. He discovers none of the staff has seen Itachi after the eighteen year old went to bed claiming to be ill early last night. Next, the older Uchiha calls Kakuzu asking if the male has seen Itachi. The response he recieves is laughter. "I told you treating him the way you have wouldn't work. He's done run off." Madara slams the cell phone shut angrily. "Where the hell did that boy run off to? I should've just accepted the offer I had on the table for him as well." Madara gives orders to the staff to search throughout the house for Itachi.

Itachi sits silently as a bus pulls away from the station. The teen was hell bent on disappearing. He'd left some time during the night taking refuge under the roof of a store when the chill of the air bothered him. He couldn't say he didn't receive an odd look while roaming the shop, but he wasn't worried about it. Cash exchanged hands when Itachi decided he didn't like being dressed in the high end clothing he'd left the house in.

Word of his disappearence had now hit the news. Though Itachi now looked far too 'dressed down' to be the missing teen on the screen. The fact that his uncle made a point to be sure to tell them all the uncanny length of Itachi's hair bothered the teen only briefly before he deicided to leave the tailed hair hidden in the coat. Itachi moved along the streets in silence. His eyes keeping watch only for street signs.

A woman's voice attracted Itachi's attention just briefly. The female he heard begins to take steps passing by Itachi. As she does her hand brings the waist length raven hair from Itachi's coat. The teen turns bursts into a run. The redhead laughs some. "I'll let you run. Maybe it'll strike up a riot where I stay."

Itachi stop a length away panting for air. His eyes scan to see if he was followed. Itachi then decides to step into a shop for a bit. Breakfast becomes a bit of snatched up snacks as Itachi finds his way in leaving the busy main street behind. Almost deserted side streets welcomed Itachi with frozen ground. Itachi makes a face before deciding to walk the side of partially cleared streets instead of the frozen walkways.

The teen buries his hands deep in his pockets as he continues his path. He discards the wrappers from his snack into a trash can silently. The sound of a beeping horn makes the teen glance over his shoulder. "You looking for a ride?" Itachi shakes his head and continues walking. The teen makes a swift turn away from the vehicle.

Itachi continues his path until he decides to step into a library. Once again he tucks his tailed hair into his coat and begins to step through the shelves of books in the silence that was comforting to the teen. As he continues his path he slowly joins a large study group from a high school. Itachi chooses to 'blend in' and follows the students up the stairs. A slight smirk appears briefly upon the teen's face as he realizes the visitng students are stepping into a large lecture hall for a presentation on the library. It seems for now Itachi had a place to hide.

A/N: Itachi left his uncle's house, where will he find shelter now? Or will he return to where he lived begging for forgiveness from his uncle? Will word spread to Sasuke? And if it does what will the younger Uchiha do?
