Ok so this is MAJOR spoilers warning. This is probably one of the few, if there are anymore, fanfic that follow the story closely. I read the Manga so if you don't and don't want parts ruined for you leave now please. And don't get mad at me. This has been stuck in my head and I really want to write it.
Itachi may seem out of character but to me he isn't, just ask my friends….lol. You'll understand at some point, I think...lol.

Chapter 3

Amaterasu entered her room and gently shut the door. On the outside she appeared normal but on the inside she was dying, the woman in her was screaming for her loss. She couldn't break down. Not now, not yet. She had a promise to keep. She had preparations to make.

After grabbing a pack, she strapped on some weapons and threw some essentials and food into the bag. Then pausing looked around the room. A locked drawer caught her eye and she slowly walked over. After pulling the key from its hiding place she opened it and pulled out five scrolls. Her mind wandered.

…Flashback…

Three Months earlier…

"Itachi why are you saying this?"

"This is the way it has to be. I need you for this Rasu. Please? For me?" She stared into his eyes for a moment before taking the scrolls from his hands. She glanced down at the scrolls and noticed her name on one. She looked up at him puzzled and he covered the scrolls with his hands.

"You can't read that unless he's killed me? You understand?" She stared up into his eyes and nodded slightly.

"What brought this about?" She asked softly while she turned her back on him and placed them in a drawer and locked it.

"Some of the members caught sight of Orochimaru. Sasuke was with him. They watched him train and say he has grown in strength. It's been two and a half years since Sasuke has left. Who knows what he has learned. I feel that he will come for me soon. If that happens and he defeats me you will need these."

"Itachi." She said as she turned back to him. He pressed his fingers to her lips.

"Hush Rasu. Please. You know why this must happen. I never saw you in my future or I would never have set this path. If I could go back and take back my words I would." Her eyes searched his face and he softly pulled her forward and kissed her lips before cuddling her close.

"Those other four scrolls are important. They should give you safe passage and clear everything." She nodded. "If I didn't have to make you do this I wouldn't." She kissed him softly once more.

"I know but it's too late now. I will follow your wishes love. If it's the last thing I do, I will."

...End Flashback…

"If only we hadn't been right Itachi." She said. She placed the scrolls in the bag and her hand ran over the scroll with her name on it. "No. I can't do it." She closed the satchel and set it on the end of the bed before sitting down and leaning her head against the wall. Now she only had to wait until midnight.

….

As darkness covered the lair above Rasu slowly walked through the tunnels below. She was finally nearing the room Sasuke was being kept in and she slowed before stopping completely and dropping her pack to the ground. Carefully she walked to the door and using her chakra forced the door to unlock and entered.

"What do you want?" A voice growled in the corner. Amaterasu stopped and allowed her eyes to adjust.

"We are leaving." She stated calmly. Sasuke rose from the bed he had been curled up on.

"Why should I follow you?"

"Because whether we both like it or not I am the only ally you have. Who knows what Madra has planned for you, and unless you want to find out, which could very well lead to you own death; you will follow me."
