When Bad Meets Evil

Curtains Up, Without Me

"The capital of France? That's where you want to go?" asked Kyuubi once again "Why man?" Itachi ignored him when they had gotten on a taxi and headed to the airport, as well as ignored him now. You'd think that because no one could fit more than three people in there that the other's would stay behind, but no. Deidara was seated in Sasori's lap and Naruto in Kyuubi's lap, and Itachi smashed right in the middle on their mess. Itachi felt like killing himself at that moment, but the fact that he might be able to see his brother kept him alive and sane…..for the moment.

It was just....these morons!

"Itachi!" Kyuubi waved his hand in front of his face "Don't ignore me Uchiha" Naruto moved Kyuubi's arm away before he decided to punch Itachi.

"Is the Eiffel Tower there? I so want to see that!" Deidara chirped as he got in Kyuubi's way, before he even did anything else to up-set the long haired Uchiha "It's artistically amazing and breath taking so I've heard, yeah!"

"It's just a damned pointy building with a disgusting meaning" Itachi hissed making Deidara look at him confused and Naruto begin to laugh loudly. Sasori sighed as he made a face and Itachi smirked.

"What do you mean?" Deidara asked as he shoved Naruto's face to the window, it was an effective way to make someone stop laughing as well as making them feel humiliated.

"Nothing" Sasori patted him on the head "Itachi is just being mean" Sasori glared at Itachi and Itachi shrugged as he leaned back and closed his eyes, he needed to ignore them all. Find a peace of mind....

"Tch, when is he not mean?" Kyuubi added with a scoff. Itachi on the other hand started to count down the seconds that these idiots had left to live. He swore he was going to burn off all their asses "Still, Why Paris?" Kyuubi asked once again like some sort of broken record. Couldn't he just accept that he had chosen that place? Either way Itachi opened his eyes to look at him and shrugged.

Peace of mind

"Just a feeling I guess, it's what first came to mind" Itachi narrowed his eyes then, "But something is still bothering me about it…." Was his brother feeling this as well? Something in Itachi told him at he had to leave as soon as he could, but another part wanted him to wait here. He wanted to understand, but he feared that he barely did. 'Sasuke…let me find you'

"Alright then! No more questions about it, Trip time!" Deidara cheered "I wonder if they have any art there"

"I don't think any of us have ever been there" Sasori added.


That night Sasuke had stared at the phone long and hard until he fell asleep. Yet morning seemed to come fast, and he got up early despite how much he still wanted to sleep. The bed fell to shallow for him now.

He had wanted to call back and hear his brother's voice once more, but the battery in his phone had ran out and he didn't know where his charger was. He concentrated hard as well, hoping that he could somehow catch a glimpse of his brother while he looked at himself through the mirror. The path in his brother's eyes seemed to be opening more to him and he wondered what it meant. Where he and his brother now more aware of each other? He had sat up from bed that morning left his fancy hotel suit and decided to make the next flight to somewhere new.

Something in him wouldn't let him have peace of mind and it was eating up at him.

How far connected where he and his brother? Could Itachi see where he was? Could he hear and taste all that he could. Biting his lip, he decided to leave Paris and headed off back to Konoha. Maybe he didn't need to hide in a new place to understand his grandmother and her hatred. Maybe he could even open her eyes. Yet, he could not help but wonder why he wanted to go back, as if something was……no!

"Dearly demented bitch, don't get me started" he hissed as he got in a taxi so he could be driven to the airport, He needed to get back to Konoha, Arcata. The thought of meeting his brother was a heavy feeling in his chest, and he could not wait! The thing was he feared how their first meeting was going to be "I'll leave you dearly departed."

It was a gut feeling, something that frustrated him to no end.

He was going to have to be the one to find his brother.

Because he also feared that if he didn't.......he was going to lose him.


California, West

Annabel had to think.

She had left on her own to find her one of her dearest grandchildren that she had no idea that even lived, lived for far too long. Gritting her teeth together as she looked around, she had to wonder what the evil little brat had been up to lately. No good, she betted. This world was in danger and it was all Fugaku's fault for letting Sasuke live! Ha! What kind of name was Sasuke anyway, it sounded so dumb! The sound of it left a bad taste in her mouth to the point she swore she was going to throw up.

She needed to find him and kill him? But how?

'There is always an evil twin and even though he is not good, a bad twin' she recited in her head like a chant of truth 'one bad turn on the evil one and the bad one can become hopeless and completely rotten!' She jumped up high and begun to jump around 'One corruption, one deceit, that child is evil and I am the only one who knows! No one will listen; I'll just take matters into my hand!'

She couldn't stand it, the thought of two beings that shared the same womb being together sharing the same earth, calling each other brothers or sisters, it killed her. You had to wonder where her hatred for twins came. What made her kill her own twin sister? Well, it was more her own crazy idea that her sister was more well liked than her and that she just stood in her shadow. That there was no way she could keep up, and eventually she started to switch it up that her younger sister was trying to kill her.

To erase her.

So she had to act first and get rid of her younger twin. Without thinking she had taken the kitchen knife one night, right at midnight when everyone was asleep. She had yelled and stabbed her own sister, then broken the window and wounded herself. Creating a fake criminal that both her parents believed was real, and yet when a search begun nothing was found. She had been careful to not trace back to her, she got rid of anyone who became suspicious, and she became mentally unstable.

But, she'd never say that she is mentally unstable, for her, she is just fine. It's the other people who had mental problems, and that the whole world was corrupted and she was the only one who was right in the head. She wanted to believe that her family was alright as well, but they turned against her beliefs, and that just made it that socializing with other people corrupted their minds. Fugaku talking to all those other business men and involving his wife and son.

She is the sane one here.

But since then, she would never admit, there seemed to be a part of her missing. There couldn't be. She had dedicated her life to being a doctor who helped people give birth and made sure that the younger twin was always born and died after a day or two. Despite how mothers would howl and cry over the fact that the twin of their child was killed.

Something she completely ignored and over looked, those tears she believed to be hollow and in vain. Looking around and away from her own mind, she found that she was in the middle of nowhere, what looked to be a desert. Walls were painted with blood, decorated in fresh guts. Some of them were dried up as of they had been there for more than one day. She looked at the lonely houses that must have been filled with people a while ago and were now covered with the people they once gave shelter to, she turned into a bar stand where they usually sold beer and ramen, that was when she saw someone.

An old man

He was eating like there was no tomorrow and drinking plentifully. He looked so content without a care in the world and once he sensed her presence he turned around to face her. A smile crossed his lips and his eyes crossed each other, his white hair nothing but a shade of gray. He looked like a cheap movie cowboy who was already to worn out to even be called that….

"I reckon you are lost, pretty lady" the old man said, he had stub all over his face, a mustache, overalls, and round gut, and a cowboy hat. A commonly appease for a farmer or a kid-cartoon show villain. She wrinkled up her pointy long nose and made a disgusted face. He reeked of someone who had not bathed in a while and beer, plus ramen, and maybe some other things…..an old onion.

"Who are you?" she hissed.

"I am, what they call, the twin hunter, there ain't no twin I can't kill. Human or other wise they can not escape me" he said in a gruff voice and then let out a loud and sharp burp. Scratching his big behind he then added "Those multiply like you wouldn't believe, especially here Twin country" His hands went around showing that this once was a population where Twins hid from those who disliked them. Hiding from those who put them in danger. Hiding from hunters like him and …..Killers like her.

"You killed everyone here?" she asked carefully. He simply nodded scratching the side of his head and then she smirked. "Well then, if you are a twin hunter, can you help me search for my grandson's twin brother? I would ever so appreciate it if you could get rid of the evil one"

"Ah, a challenge, you've come to the right place" he licked his lips as he took in all her curves and her wrinkles "Lately I've been killing too many female twins, I need some males as well. For a pretty lady like you, the job will be free" The man had to think about it, the evil one she said? This woman was crazy, both twins for evil. Annabel faked blushed and managed to bubble a giggle out of her wrinkled lips. The old man walked over to her and bowed "Please lead the way, my good lady"

"Ugh…First you need a shower" The man looked at her confused as she doubled over in disgust. That was a pretty bad reaction, he always bathed….there was only one kind that would really find him foul and that was….


Sasuke looked around the airport, walking briskly out of it as fast as he could. He couldn't go to Konoha, not at the moment. There was something wrong. Finding the bathrooms he walked in and leaned against the white wall, he put a hand to his forehead and closed his eyes, the light hurt. "Where are you nii-san" Sasuke whispered "I fear that something bad might happen soon" Sasuke closed his fist and hit the wall.

He was so confused, so freaking confused and his head was spinning.

He was suffocation, and lacking in air.

Too hot, and too heavy.

He didn't need his brother to solve his problems, he had never needed anybody. He had killed his sitter, stayed in that cold house alone for days. He had lied about who he was, about everything that he could erase himself . So, it didn't matter now, or ever. So why did his heart start racing so fast, why was he so scared right nowand yet knowing of Itachi made him feel like he did have a meaning. No, he needed to head back and be the one to find his own brother! Why though…..Sasuke could not explain what part of him this was. Why was he acting in such a way?

Why was he feeling so much......

He needed to go to the west side of California.

Sasuke gritted his teeth "I want to kill someone" he growled. Anger getting the better of him as he hit the wall to the point that cracks appeared around where he had hit "I want to kill someone right this minute!" Letting tears drop to the side of his face, Sasuke whispered. "If you dare harm him, I will destroy you bitch!"


"Man, these lines are so long" Deidara complained.

"I know, look at how many people travel all the time" Kyuubi sighed and put his arm around Naruto's shoulders who was falling asleep on his feet. "And none of them willing to give us their spot in line so we can get this over with fast"

Itachi and the others were at the airport trying to get Tickets for the next flight to Paris when suddenly the lights went out causing people to scream. All of them looked around, but there was no way of telling what was going on, there was not even a storm to cause any of this. "Please calm down!" A lady came around yelling "We'll be switching to backup power soon, please don't run. Don't move, don't do anything foolish!"

That's when they heard her trip and people started to panic once more. "PEOPLE!" In no time at all, the lights were on again and everyone was sighing in relief. Some looking confused at to what just happened and little children crying while clinging to their parents. Lovers clinging to one another and others were hiding under the table.

"Man, what the hell is going on" Naruto asked as he and Kyuubi held each other. Deidara and Sasori doing the same with each other, the couples began to look around.

"Aren't we missing someone?" asked Kyuubi as he looked all around, they were one person short.

"Ah!!" Naruto yelled "where did Itachi go!"


California in the west

"You sure work fast, John" Annabel said as she looked down at her nephew, where the old man had found him, she had no idea. She was just surprised that it was a qucik job.

"Well, they say that a twin will always know when their other twin is in danger" The man said smugly as he looked at the passed out long haired raven. One sniff of him was all it took to knock down a twin, he winked at the lady beside him "this is all we need to bring the other twin to us, this kid here is just bait"

Annabel kissed him on the cheek. The man smirked in return as he licked his lips.

Sparks will fly when bad meets evil
