Sasuke was lying on his bed in a room in Orochimaru's hideout. His sensei had left along with Kabuto three hours ago, and Sasuke wanted to train. One thing with training with Orochimaru has taught him, was patience.
"Sasuke-sama," one of the servants said opening the door.
"Nani?" Sasuke questioned.
"Orochimaru-sama is back and wishes to speak with you in the meeting room."
Sasuke got up and put his katana through the rope-sash around his waist and left the room. He walked through the hallways and soon entered the meeting room as if he owned the place. There, he saw a beat up Kabuto and an angry Orochimaru.
"How was the mission?" Sasuke questioned, already knowing the answer.
"Failed," Kabuto replied.
"What was it anyway?"
"We wanted to speak with Hiaki Mikoya," Kabuto explained.
"Hn."
"And your brother was with her," Kabuto stated and Orochimaru shot him a glare, which didn't match up to the one Sasuke was giving Kabuto.
"We may have had the same parents, but he is not my brother," Sasuke spat out with hatred lacing his voice.
"If we had known he was going to be with her, we would've taken you along," Orochimaru stated, trying to calm down the youngest Uchiha.
Sasuke fell silent and stopped glaring at Kabuto, though the hatred was still evident in his onyx eyes, which were now giving Orochimaru his undivided attention.
"You know Mikoya, correct?" Orochimaru questioned Sasuke who nodded. "I think you may be able to help get her for me."
"Why do you want her?" Sasuke questioned the hatred out of his eyes.
"Because, she has something important that I need," Orochimaru replied, and Sasuke accepted the answer.
"So what's the plan?"
"I have something for you, Mikoya." A figure that was nothing more than a shadow held up a silver necklace with a scarlet moon on the end of it.
"It's so pretty!" Mikoya said as she touched it.
"Here, I'll put it on for you," the figure stated and Mikoya turned her back to the figure so it can put the necklace on. "There, perfect."
Mikoya woke up, not even remembering falling asleep. She looked around and found herself in a run-down hotel room. She sat up, and realised she was missing something. She quickly searched her neck, but couldn't find her moon necklace.
A few seconds later, Itachi walked in, in his hand was the necklace.
"Where did you find that?" Mikoya questioned.
"On the floor, the clasp was broken, so I got it fixed for you," Itachi replied and handed the necklace to the worried girl.
She thanked him and put it on. She felt better feeling the cool metal of the moon just above her chest. She sighed and smiled, looking up to Itachi. She had known the clasp was getting a bit old, and was glad Itachi fixed it for her.
"Thank you Itachi-san," Mikoya said.
"Hn," Itachi grunted. "Have a shower and we'll head back to the base."
Mikoya nodded, grabbed her ninja clothes and walked out of the room and into the bathroom. She got undressed and started showering, singing Shooting Star.
"When I look up at the sky
The stars, see, are sparkling
Each giving off its own light
Like the people on this planet
Yeah, so I, too
Want to shine particularly bright
I close my eyes and make a vow in my heart
And entrust my dreams to that shooting star."
She got out of the shower and dried herself off before getting dressed, all the while singing the song.
"I'm in my usual park
I can see the night scenery
On the slide
That's been my special seat for years
Whenever I'm worried about something, I come here
Just like then, I'm on my way to my dreams
But unable to fulfil them
"Maybe this is the end of the line"
There are days when I say weak things like that
But every time, I remember
That starry sky where I looked for a shooting star
The wish I made when I was little
Hasn't changed even now."
She did her hair and left the bathroom, to find Itachi had packed everything up, and had some rice. He handed a bowel to her and they started eating, Mikoya happily ate, enjoying the taste of actual food.
"You're not as bad as everyone says, ne Itachi-san?" Mikoya questioned as she finished her food.
"Hn," Itachi grunted and got rid of the bowels, which were plastic. "You ready to leave?"
"Yep."
They left the town and headed back to the hideout. Once again, Mikoya was humming a song, and once again, Itachi knew it. She sighed, and went to keep walking when she was hit with a sudden migraine. She stopped walking and clutched her head.
"Is everything alright, Mikoya?" Itachi questioned, noticing she was clutching her head.
"I have a sudden migraine; do you think we can stop until it passes?"
Itachi nodded and led Mikoya off the road and to a clearing. He set up camp while she rested under a tree. Once that was done, he left to investigate the area around them to make sure they were safe. Mikoya just sat with her eyes closed.
It wasn't long before the darkness of sleep consumed her. While she slept, Itachi returned and saw the teen asleep. He sighed and sat down against another tree. He sensed some chakra earlier, but that chakra seemed not of be a threat, so he ignored it.
As Itachi sat with his eyes close, he felt the familiar chakra of his brother. Itachi's eyes snapped open, red with sharingan. Just as his eyes opened, his younger brother stepped into the clearing.
"I would've been disappointed if you were asleep, Itachi," Sasuke stated.
"Hn," was Itachi's response, and flicker of anger flashed through Sasuke's onyx eyes.
"Don't mind me, I'm just here to get Mikoya," Sasuke stated, walking towards the sleeping girl. He didn't get far as kunai was thrown at him. Sasuke dodged, and turned to look at his brother, who was now standing.
"What does Orochimaru want with her?" Itachi questioned, though he already had an idea.
"I don't know, I'm just completing the mission," Sasuke replied, "Sadly he ordered me not to kill you, and I will follow his orders, for now."
With that said, Sasuke ran towards Mikoya, and just as he was about to grab her, her eyes opened and she disappeared, appearing next to Itachi.
"What's going on?" Mikoya questioned the brothers.
"Orochimaru wants you," Sasuke replied.
"He'll never have me," Mikoya replied getting into a fighting position.
Sasuke didn't reply, and just pulled out his katana and ran towards Itachi and Mikoya. He did a shadow clone jutsu, and one charged at Itachi, while he went to Mikoya. Itachi hadn't realised the difference, and attacked the clone, giving Sasuke the chance to grab Mikoya.
Mikoya dodged the katana, realising it was Sasuke and not a clone. She then did some hand seals.
"Wind Style: Wind Panther," and with that, a panther made of wind appeared and charged towards Sasuke, who swiped it with his blade charged with lightning. The panther disappeared, and Mikoya threw a kunai towards Sasuke, who easily dodged it.
Meanwhile, Itachi had destroyed the clone, and charge towards Sasuke from behind, only to be stopped by the sudden appearance of Kabuto, who swiped at Itachi with a chakra laced hand.
Itachi dodged and threw a handful of shuriken towards the medic-nin. Kabuto easily dodged, even managing to catch a couple, and threw them back at Itachi. He deflected them with a kunai he had drawn, and stood facing Kabuto.
Mikoya pulled out her katana, just in time to block Sasuke's. She laced hers with lightning chakra as well, creating a crackling sound. Sasuke, being heaver and taller, used his weight to try and move Mikoya.
Her feet slipped in the dirt, and she pushed back with as much force as she could. Sasuke, who was surprised by the strength of the small girl, put more force into his katana. Mikoya, realising she won't be able to win in a close battle, jumped away, Sasuke's katana only just missing her.
Mikoya then jumped into a tree and pulled out a handful of senbon, and threw them towards Sasuke, who easily dodged them; he also noticed some were laced with poison. He then charged towards Mikoya, who jumped away from the clearing, Sasuke following.
"What does Orochimaru want with Mikoya?" Itachi questioned Kabuto, noticing Mikoya running from the clearing, Sasuke pursuing her.
"She is of very big use to us, after all, Orochimaru didn't kill off her clan for nothing," Kabuto replied before disappearing.
Itachi realised something was wrong, and ran off in the direction Mikoya and Sasuke had ran off, and felt Orochimaru's chakra. Itachi ran faster, and reached another clearing, where a fight had taken place. Standing in the clearing was Sasuke, who had Mikoya over his shoulder, Kabuto, who stood next to Sasuke, and Orochimaru, who stood in front of them.
"You were to slow this time, Itachi-san," Orochimaru stated and then disappeared, leaving a very angry Itachi.
