Chapter 28

I found you


Not as happy as the title suggest really :S

If you read the last one it makes sense that in this one your going to need a box of tissues well I did at the least :S

Probably because I'm sad lmao nearly at the end of the whole story people only like one more chapter to go and then it's the end :(

In a way I'm sad but In a way I'm happy :S I've been writing this story for just about a year I think and I'm surprised about how much it has changed from the original plot to be honest :S

I probably tell you the other outcomes of the story on the last one if you wanna hear them tell me if you do haha:D

well even though I wrote this I guess I'm not that pleased with it, I wanted it to be a lot more dramatic and I've learnt that I'm not good at those sorts of stories :S and I would have updated sooner but I lost the internet on my laptop so I couldn't post at all :(

But in a way it was a good thing it got me to write the end of this chapter and the beginning of the next.

Anyway enjoy but don't kill me because of the outcome :( crying is good sometimes :)


Her green eyes traced the patterns on the floor, her mind bussing with what she had been told, the betrayal, the misunderstanding, the pain.

All of it had happened to one man, the man sat next to her; there were millions of questions on her mind now.

How did he survive it all?

It must have been torture to him?

She turned towards him and saw that he was staring at the floor much like she had been doing, but in his case more glaring.

He reminded her so much of Sasuke, that scowl, that face, both of there whole moods, you could tell they were family.

She would never tell Sasuke that though, some things are better kept inside.

"itach…" she called out as she watched him glaring intently at the floor.

Suddenly there was an echoing boom that came from the other end of the room, sakura looked stunned as she stared at the smoke that was coming from that direction, she turned to look at Itachi, he looked…scared and surprised all wrapped into one.

Her eyes went wide, she had never seen him like this and it utterly scared her to the bone.

She snapped her head back over to the gaping whole in the wall, anxious yet curios of what had happened.

The smoke was slowly cleared slowly but there was still the sound of falling rubble that she thought would probably be herd throughout the whole place.

She had become uneasy, she was scared for her life yet she knew that she would be protected by Itachi, or at least she hoped he would.

His face had soon changed back to the uncaring look soon after the gaping whole incident, in a way she thought herself lucky to see an Uchiha show that much emotion in one day, it was rare to see them let there guard down like that.

The cracking of gravel got louder and sakura couldn't help but stare at what she saw…

"Sasuke" she whispered to herself.

There he stood in all his glory a cloak blowing behind him.

He didn't look at lot different to when sakura last saw him, she was pleased though.

His gaze traced the room until it caught sight of me sat there, he just smirked at me from where he was standing, it was really the only way that he would probably show his emotion in front of his brother.

His gaze wondered from me to Itachi, his onyx eyes soon turned to a piercing red.

Sakura couldn't help but stare over at the youngest Uchiha, maybe surprised that he was here or maybe the fact of what a fool he'd been to chance after his only family and hunt them down.

Only if he knew what Itachi had told her then maybe his life would have turned out differently.

"Sasuke, le…"she was suddenly cut off as she felt someone take hold of her, she looked around to see another pair of piercing red eyes.

Itachi, he shook his head in a no and sakura could only look at him in confusion.

"ITACHIII" Sasuke screamed from the other side of the room charging forward towards his brother and sakura.

He pulled out a katana that was strapped on his back and pulled it out in front of him as he charged at full speed.

Itachi kept a firm hold on her, almost protectively.

Sasuke stood right in front of them both, a katana dangerously close to Itachi's neck, the point barely inches from the skin.

His stance ready to kill, you could feel it. It was almost penetrating from his skin.

He had a dangerous look on his face and Itachi knew he was serious.

He knew that this would be the last time that he would ever battle with his brother.


Sakura only stared up at Sasuke in confusion the blade was so close to killing him and there was really no reason to, but she couldn't tell, it wasn't her business to tell.

She gulped hard and glared up at Sasuke, he didn't really take any notice of her, and he was glaring intently at his brother.

Is he would even look down at her and ask what is wrong then maybe this fighting could stop, maybe it would be like this never happened.

The time when he needed to acknowledge her he didn't and really that was a grave mistake.


Itachi brought his head down so that his lips were close to her ear, "thank you for everything" he said softly.

'Why is he saying this?' Her inner self practically screamed in her head. 'What is he going to do?' she just stared at him, hoping that nothing would happen.

Itachi took hold of her arms in his and pushed her to the other side of the room, out of the danger of the fighting Uchiha's.

Maybe it was a good idea; maybe it would have got in the way of what was always destined to happen.

And so it began the Uchiha brother's battle, in the presence in the only other person in this world that knew the truth about the Uchiha massacre, Sakura Haruno.


Itachi's head stayed lowered as her slowly lifted himself from the floor, pushing on the wall for help himself up now and again.

Sasuke continued to glare now more aggressively at his older brother, the katana retracted a bit as his brother arose from the floor.

Sakura stared at the scene going on in front of her, she wanted to go over to Sasuke and stop him but as Itachi rose from the floor she saw him give her a nod.

Maybe he had a plan; maybe he was going to stop this, so for now she put her faith in Uchiha Itachi, to stop the raging war between them both.

Itachi now looked straight at his brother, his red eyes forgotten in the past of his life and now they were back to the black that they were when he was younger.

Sasuke looked at him surprised, 'why had he deactivated his sharingon?' He thought as he watched his brother pull out a kunai from a side pocket.

There was one thing that Sasuke knew about the mangekyou sharingon, that when you deactivated it, it would never return.

'Why was Itachi doing this?' was the only thing that crossed Sasuke's mind as he watched his brother in front of him.

He hadn't moved a muscle since he had taken the kunai out, maybe he was planning something.

Itachi then began to slowly walk forward towards his brother, Sasuke took a step back and pulled up the kunai so that it was close but not close enough to his neck.

"Itachi" she muttered as he walked towards Sasuke, Sasuke snapped his head around and gave her a glare.

It was almost to say that he didn't want her getting involved at all, but he had never glared at her that severally before.

So for then she promised herself that she wouldn't get involved, for the both of there sake's, how she hoped that Itachi had a plan to stop all this.

Itachi strode towards him, staring straight at him almost as if he didn't know that he was walking straight towards his brother who would kill him if he wanted.

"Brother there is one thing that I want for you to do for me" Itachi called as he placed his hand on Sasuke shoulder.

Sasuke shrugged it off and turned to face his brother head on, "I'm listening" he called glaring hard back at him.

Itachi grabbed the katana in his hand careful so that it didn't cut his skin; he didn't waver as he brought it down a bit.

"Say goodbye" Itachi called.

Sasuke looked at him confused; he pulled the katana out of his brother's grip not really minding if it cut it at all.

"Sasuke!" sakura yelled from where she was laid on the floor, she was clutching her arm now; something seemed to be wrong with it.

"Sakura stay out of this" Itachi yelled, his voice raised and angry.

Sasuke looked at his brother did he really just say that, "you can't go around telling people to stay out of this if you don't even know them" Sasuke yelled and pulled the katana close to his brothers neck again .

"That's it true brother, but there is something I know about sakura-san there that you don't" Itachi said smirking evilly at his brother.

"Really and what's that" Sasuke said pulling the katana a little closer to Itachi's neck.

"Well if you slit my throat at now you won't know will you" Itachi called laughing evilly, something he had never done before.

"Hn" Sasuke called and lowered the katana from his neck.

There was a pause of silence were none of the people in the room said nothing, not even a movement, they were all so quiet waiting for Itachi to speak again.

"And little brother you may never know" Itachi called and pulled his brothers katana forward, the blade slicing through the flesh of his neck.

Sasuke's eyes widened in shock, had he just killed his brother?

Finally?

Sakura's eyes widened, had that really just happened in front of her?

Did she not do anything to stop them?

She promised herself that she wouldn't but the urge to help him was overwhelming.

He could have made her life hell here but he didn't, in a way she cared for him.

At least enough not to want to see him die right in front of her, she looked up at Sasuke's expression, he seemed to be as shocked as she was at what he had just done.

He was staring at the end of the katana where his brothers' hands were placed.

Sakura let out a scream of frustration and dragged herself over to where both brothers were, she clutched her hand, she was pretty sure it was broken.

She sat there in front of the both of them, Itachi had dropped to his knees as Sasuke let go of his katana. The kunai that Itachi had been using was long gone.

She let out a sob of tears as the trickled down her face; he had rolled on his back the katana sticking out of his neck. Sakura couldn't help but cry harder at the look of his face.

It was covered lightly by his long black hair and there was a smile on his face, it was small but it was a smile.

Sakura watched as small droplets of blood leaked from his neck, there was only one thing she could do. She grabbed katana the handle and pulled it out. At that moment she felt another pair of hands wrap around hers. She looked up through teary eyes to see that it was Sasuke.

He looked just as upset as she did as they pulled the katana out together. The let go of it together and placed it next to Itachi's body. She looked back over to his face to see that the smile was still present.

She smiled lightly back at him and brushed the hair away from his face, "thank you for everything" she whispered into his ear, she hoped that he might hear it.

Sakura kissed his cheek softly and herd the soft sound of him speaking. "I love you" he called. She looked at him shocked for a second before the tears started to fall down her face again. It was over he was gone.
