Anko gasped and took multiple steps back to the hideout. She had to be slow so that the person wouldn't strike, afterall , she didn't know him at all.

The person chuckled at her fear "Relax, I'm not going to hurt you." He said. This didn't help Anko relax at all. "I just want to talk." He opened his cloak slightly and reached in for something. Anko was ready though, she searched for a kunai in her own jacket. Just as he brought out the object he was looking for she brought out hers. She aimed for the area between his eyes but with amazing speed he grabbed her wrist "Whoa, Itachi was right you are feisty."

Anko stared at him in confusion and amazment "Itachi?"

He chuckled and let go of her wrist "I am...or at least I was until you showed up, Itachi's former partner, Kisame Hoshigaki."

Anko's fist clenched.

"It's okay," he assured "I don't hold Itachi's death agains you. If you ask me I think he was almost happy to go, He died with a smile on his face."

Anko gulped but she couldn't find anything to say to him.

"I brought dango." he said "Itachi said you really like this stuff." he laughed, pulling the box out of his cloak "You and I might get along after all." he opened the box and pulled out a skewer of green, pink, and white dangos. "Yum." he hummed and leaned back against the boulder Anko was recently sitting on.

Anko stared at him hestitantly, first Orochimaru and now an Akatsuki were trying to play nice guy with her. Still, even with an enemy you should never give up a chance on free dango. She took a stick simular to his out and began munching on it, the sweet sauce calmed her down some. "So uh," she said before swallowing her dango "How can I help you?" the guy was about three heads taller than Anko.

"I just wanted to meet the person who killed my partner." he jeered "The hospital that took his body said that Orochimaru was going to collect it since no one would claim him. I also heard some mentions about..." he brushed some hair out of her face, his touch was scalding but welcomeing "a pretty but delusional girl who was going with him. I waited until he left and then I followed you."

Anko threw the empty skewer into a tree "Well here I am." He chuckled and offered her another dango which she took thankfully.

"About Itachi," Anko started again "Do you think that...the rest of the Akatsuki will want to..." 'Don't ask him that.'

"They they're going to come after you?" he finished "Naw, I mean it's one less member but I hardly doubt that they're going to try to kill you for it." he grinned at her sinisterly "Not right away anyway. Not until they find out you're still alive."

"Still alive!" Anko exclaimed shocked.

"Yep. You went up against Itachi, it would just seem natural that you went down with him."

"You mean the Akatsuki thinks I'm dead!"

"The Akatsuki and probably Konaha. Ever since Itachi's body was recovered, a rumor started that the women that killed him died of severe wounds in the hospital and that her body was destroyed."

Anko's knees gave way "It can't be."

Kisame patted her head "Look on the bright side, at least it's easier to stay with Orochimaru now." his fingers pressed into her scalp "You are planning on staying with him right?"

Anko didn't answer. She was lost in her own thoughts.

Kisame smirked and stood up "Well, I've got to get going, don't need Leader getting all suspicious."

Her shaking eyes trailed, all she could see now was his legs but his voice was louder. For a moment he sounded like Itachi "Bye Anko."

Orochimaru cover Itachi back up and pushed him back in the freezer. He pulled off his mask and stared at Sasuke "It seems Anko's not intirely to blame for Itachi's death after all."

Sasuke flincher angerly "Fucking tuberculosis." he growled "He had fucking tuberculosis and he was out fighting." he threw his won mask down "The idiot!"

Orochimaru chuckled "It will mean a lot to Anko to know this...we should tell her don't you think?"

Sasuke leaned against a wall "I don't want to see her right now." he whispered. Was he about to cry?"

Orochimaru shrugged "Suit yourself." he said. His footsteps echoed up the stairs and dissapeared in the hallway.

Sasuke hated Itachi. He hated Anko. He hated himself. Why had Itachi put himself through all of that? He must have known he was sick, tuberculosis isn't the kind of illness to go on without showing itself.

He leaned in deeper into the wall 'Itachi you fucker you kill yourself.' He wondered how Anko would react when she found out. Would she be surprised? Would she be grateful? Would she even care? It gave her a reason to feel better now that that guilt was gone.

He clenched his teeth, she should find out through him, even thought she dispised her for taking away his chance to take Itachi down. He left the autopsy room and head to the bedrooms.

Orochimaru was already at her door when Sasuke showed up. He was just standing there staring into Anko's empty room with a dimetric expression on his face.

"Maybe she just went outside." Sasuke suggested once he looked in.

Orochimaru shook his head "No, I checked the cameras, the grounds are empty, still..."

"Still what?"

He wasn't entirely sure "She wouldn't run away, no matter how upset she was. She has to still be in the base." He eyed Sasuke "I'm going to continue checking this wing. You go downstairs and see if she's there." Sasuke nodded and the two set off.

.'.'.'.'.'.'.'.'.'.'.'.'.'.'.'.'.'.'.'.'.'.'.'.'.'.'.

They were back in Tsukuyomi, Itachi and Anko. He had her strapped down and his hands were burning because they were cut up and her blood was making them burn more.

Anko shuddered violently as Itachi shoved another needle into her arm. She threw her head back and gasped hoarsly. "Stop......Itachi stop..."

He smeared blood on her face. "No."

.'.'.'.'.'.'.'.'.'.'.'.'.'.'.'.'.'.'.'.'.'.'.'.'.'.'.

She burst out laughing as more blood drained from the holes in her arms. She was in so much pain but the only thing that she could feel was insanity. All that functioned in her brain was the blood and the eletric charges running through her arms.

Itachi was in the storage room with her, staring with amused dissaproval. 'You're sick.'

Anko threw one of the needles at him, she missed. "Shut up." She felt light headed now and yet she was making sense of everything.

'You're going to die this way.'

She arched her neck and smiled "And this is your problem how?"

He squatted down in front of her 'Because I'm responsible for you now.'

Anko's weary head shot up. That wasn't Itachi's voice but...

She blinked and held her eyes shut for a few seconds. The burning. The blood. She opened them again and it was Orochimaru who was squatting down in front of her. He was the one chastiseing her. He was the wearing Itachi's face.

He reached for her hand "You're coming with me."

Anko pushed against the wall, hoping to go through it. She leveled one of the bloody needles to his eye "Get away from me."

He scooted closer "Come on Anko."

She swung the needle at him and scrapped his cheek before he grabbed her. "Get away from me."

He pulled her into him "Now Anko."

She kicked him "GET AWAY FROM ME!"

He would regret what he was about to do. He slapped her with his free hand, hard enough so that her head did a 190 and stunned her into a semi coma. Stopping only to get the remaining two needles out of her arms, he picked her up and started carrying her to the medical ward. She needed Kabuto's help.

"What happened to her arms?" Sasuke yelled from down the hall. Orochmaru could only think of one reason why Anko would do this to herself.

"Itachi."

I am a total screw up

Sorry if this is crappy and short but Schools out in two more days and my brain is shutting down. I will try to post one more chapter of this if God shall allow it.
