Ugh. Why does my head hurt? Where am I? What happened? Answers? I don't know. My house, I guess. I have absolutely no memory.

I got up and held my hand to my head. It was suppose to stop the dizziness; as these 'civilized' people suggested. After the dizziness died, I got up and got ready for school. I walked out of my door and no one was waiting for me. I went to school and everyone was there. School went as usual but there was a ton of whispering. Dizzy, Itachi, Suna AND Itachi weren't there. Tsunade-sama got mad and yelled at everyone to be quiet. I had to go up to the board and when I got back to my seat, there was a short note on my desk.

"Meet me by the lake at midnight."

It didn't say who it was from. I couldn't concentrate on school anymore. I've been here for about a whole semester and I just couldn't concentrate know because of the note. I tried thinking of who it could be. But got no answer or conclusion. When the bell finally rang, I sprinted from school.

I had one heck of a head ache once I got home. It had been a rainy, windy, cold day. I went to my medicine cabinet and grabbed some motrin.

After that, I went upstairs to take a shower; a long, hot soaking shower. I dried up and got dressed about thirty minutes later.

It was about 6:45pm then. I cooked something for dinner; chicken and some butter noodles. That took a few hours. So when I finally started to eat, the power goes out. Great. Going to have to eat in the dark now. I smirked to myself knowing I could eat in the dark.

Okay, the lights finally went back on at about ten. Two more hours left. I decided to get some sleep. I set my alarm for 11:30 and slept.

The alarm goes off. Curse these human alarm clocks. I got up and shut the damn thing up. I coughed a little and started to go outside. It was just a beautiful mist. I headed to the Jungle; my home.

The lake was in the middle of the Deadly Jungle. I saw little life now. I used to see a lot. But I've noticed, ever since I left, there hasn't been much life in the jungle. That scared me.

When I finally reached the lake, oh it was sooo beautiful, no one was there. I was starting to think I'd been stood up when someone said,

"I have bad news."

"Sasuke, where are you? I know it's you; come out.

Sasuke came out. Tall, dark, handsome and.... sad...

"What's wrong?" I asked concerned.

"You never read my note that I gave you before the party, did you?" He asked.

"I'm so sorry. I didn't know where I had put it." I explained.

"It's okay. Anyway, it had told you about Itachi being a Ranger."

My eyes widened. Itachi? A Ranger?

"They called him out last night; into the Deadly Jungle. Around the same time you and I were heading out here." Sasuke continued. "He never got a new rosary. The rosary protected Itachi from deadly harm." Then it sounded like he was crying because he's voice broke. "And they found him dead this morning. That gun shot we heard, singled his death."

I collapsed to my knees. Tears came to my eyes quick. And they didn't dry; they poured. Then the rain poured.

"No...." I whispered. "No... Itachi is still alive!"

"You're talking non-sense." Sasuke said.

"No! I'm not. The lake; we can contact him!"

"I already tried. He's dead. Gone forever."

"NO!!!!!" I screamed.

I ran away from the river. I headed toward my real house in the Jungle.

It was on a very high elevation; in the trees. You couldn't get up without climbing. So that's what I did, I climbed. My muscles were weak from not climbing, so it was pretty hard.

I ran through the dark house to my bed. Where I lied, crying. I had only known Itachi for a semester or two, and he was gone. And now, so was I.
