Hello everybody… I know this is pretty late in coming and for that I apologise. I tried to write, really I did but nothing I wrote sounded right. Anyway... I decided to get back on track and put something up. I hope you enjoy it.

Remember I don't own Naruto. Masashi Kishimoto does and let us all pray that he is alright, wherever he is. Am I the only one traumatised by what's happened in Japan?

Review if you can. It's only if you tell me that I'll know if something is right or wrong.

Nocturnal Visitor

I woke suddenly to find a pair of crimson eyes staring me in the face. I opened my mouth to scream but his hand covered my mouth. Before I could blink, I found myself back in my room at home.

'Jesus Christ!' I yelled jumping away from him and backing into my bookcase. 'What the hell is wrong with you Uchihas? You act all anti social and emo one minute and the next you're all up a someone's face!'

I was startled and breathing heavily with my arms crossed over my chest. And then...

'Be calm.' He said and just like that I felt my pulse slow and all my anger and anxiety leave me. My knees wobbled and I collapsed on my bed feeling relaxed and content.

'That's not fair, Itachi. I didn't even know you could do that. Why am I here again?' I yawned and lay back against my bed head. He took up space against the window.

'I needed to speak with you where our conversation could not be overheard.'

'Is this in my mind? I know it can't be in yours, I'm pretty sure you've never been to my house before.'

'I took you to the place where you felt most comfortable. You supplied all the imagery I needed to create this place.'

'Oh. How can you make me calm then? If I made this, then why aren't I controlling it?'

'You did not make this. This is part of a genjutsu that I have created using your memories. You are calm because, as long as you are in my mind, I can control how you perceive reality and respond to it.'

'I see. Well, at least it's not the scary inverted world where you tortured Sasuke and Kakashi, cuz that would suck.' I sat up suddenly and moved to the door. I looked back at him. 'If I go through this door, will I be able to go downstairs to the kitchen, or is this all that exists?'

'I do not have time for your inanities. I have an urgent matter to discuss.'

'But...'

'If you do not sit down, I will take us to a place that will make the inverted world feel like a festival.'

'Okay...' I moved back and sat on the bed. For a long moment we stared at one another. He opened his mouth to speak but I interrupted him. 'I know I shouldn't say this but I'm way too calm to care about the consequences, so here it goes: You take life way too seriously. I think your life would be much better if you expressed yourself more and thought about your own happiness a little more often. It must be incredibly disappointing to sacrifice your entire life to someone only to have them throw it back in your face but I understand. I have an older brother and sister and two younger siblings. You can't help loving the little monsters even if you do want to kill them sometimes. The point is, that you can't do everything for Sasuke as much as you would like to. Some things he just has to learn on his own and maybe learn the hard way. All you can do is be there for him when the time comes and… not die…' I finished sheepishly not quite sure why I opened my big mouth 'I know it's not a full-fledged anime speech but I did my best. I've said my peace, you may proceed.' I waved my hand gesturing for him to speak.

Obviously choosing to ignore what I said, 'I need to know how far your knowledge of our world extends. Tell me everything.'

I tugged a hand through my hair. 'Everything? That is quite a lot and well, if I tell you what's going to happen, it probably won't happen at all. And do you need to know how I know this stuff cuz I really don't have a kekkie genkei, like you told Pein I did.'

'I am aware of that. As I understand it, you are from a world where our world does not exist except as fiction. You were a fan (said like he was saying something disgusting) and the books I read before were purchased because of that. Am I right?'

'Yup. I am sure glad I didn't have to explain that. Are you still making me calm?'

'No. The reaction I created was temporary. It would be a waste of energy to dominate your mind for an extended period of time.'

'Gotcha. So...I'm actually just comfortable talking to you here? No mind tricks or anything, right?'

'Hn.'

'Okay then. Uh, what were we talking about again? And you may need to ask more specific questions, cuz I know a lot of shit and you'll be out of chakra before I finish talking.'

He looked doubtful but replied 'Very well. What do you know about Uchiha Madara?'

'He's really Tobi. He's the real founder of the Akatsuki and he's seriously evil.'

'Is that all?'

'No but the other stuff sounds insane, even for me. I'd rather not say it.'

'Tell me.'

I sighed 'He wants to collect the bijuu to use the moon as a giant sharingan and take over the world. Well, he says that that's the plan but who announces their plan to a room full of powerful people bent on stopping you? I mean really. I think he was bullshitting them but hey, that's just me. I mean, it was a freaking Kage conference!'

'Kage conference?' I get an eyebrow raise on that one.

'Yeah, after Konoha gets attacked by Pein, the different nations decide to meet to address the problem of the Akatsuki. That's when your brother shows up and tries to kill Danzo...'

'What does Danzo have to do with this?' He scowls, his darkened eyes bleeding red.

'Danzo got himself appointed as the Hokage when Tsunade didn't wake up. He took her place at the conference and Sasuke knew that. He went after him because Madara told him that Danzo was the real reason behind the Uchiha massacre.'

His face darkened visibly. Behind him I saw storm clouds gather.

'Why does Sasuke believe that Danzo is responsible for the massacre?'

'Because Madara told him so after you died. He was all emo like and guilt stricken. Madara directed his hate towards Danzo and Konoha. He also said, indirectly, that you'd had a girlfriend which made me doubt the whole story… well that and the fact that a 100 year old, evil, dead guy was telling it. I actually didn't get to see the anime version for that but I did read the manga all the way through. I wonder if we change stuff here if the manga in my world would change...what do you think?'

He looked at me and I opened my eyes. It was morning and I felt very restful and lethargic. I lay in bed for a long time feeling awake but not quite ready to get up. Had I dreamt the entire thing or had it really happened? I was leaning towards the latter. I had so many questions, the biggest of which were; what the hell was going to happen now? Had I changed the future by coming here and being a complete moron? Why on earth couldn't I keep my mouth shut? And my favourite, What am I going to do? I lay there for a long time but no answers presented themselves. My future was uncertain and that was a fact and it wasn't just my future either. I thought about Sam and I prayed that he was alright. I knew that he would look for me and I knew that he wouldn't find me. I sighed and got up. At least I knew that he would be safe…I mean, really, this was Sam…how much trouble could he get into?
