A/N: Hey, this is the newest chapter of FLOU. It's a bit different than the others. It's written in story format and a bit more serious. It's a first try, so please tell me what you think.
A/N 2: Yo, this is Michaela and Yumi wrote this chapter. As stated in the first author note, this is written in story format which we will sometimes write in. xD It depends, really. Okay, the next two chapters are mine! Chapter five is already finished...but I think I'll let you have this one for a while before I upload chapter five. (evil grin)
Family life of the Uchiha
Chapter 4
The moon stood high already, shining on two figures who were wandering through the black night. In the dim light you could make out the image of red clouds on their black cloaks. At last they reached a small cave where they stopped.
"Do you think we should we should have told Michaela and the rest what we are planning?" The first figure said, taking of his hat to reveal the face of a young man with long black hair. But more noticeable were his red eyes.
"No, we would just have worried them" The other person next to him answered while also taking off her hat.
"Hm, I guess you're right Yumi. Besides, they don't need to know everything."
The blond haired girl chuckled softly. "You're right with that."
"Do you think it will work?"
Yumi gave him a dark look in response, immediately the whole atmosphere tensed up. She shook her head. "I don't know. We can just hope it will. It's our only chance."
The two Akatsuki members sat down, waiting. After a couple of time they raised up.
It was Tobi, but you could see nothing of his usual behaviour. He looked for some time at both of them. Then he begun to speak in a quiet for him unusual voice.
"Hello Itachi, hello little girl. I see you came." It was Itachi who answered him.
"Of course we did. I guess you want to speak with us about me being the new leader of the Akatsuki?"
"That I want. So what are your plans?"
"At least not going after the Jinchuuriki anymore." This time it was Yumi who answered.
"She's right Madara, I'll use this chance to make sure the Akatsuki and especially you won't be a threat anymore." He thought about how important Naruto was to Michaela. 'I won't let you make her sad'
Madara gave them an amused look. "And what makes you think I would let this happen?" He sighed. "I never really trusted you two. Guess I was right. Well, seems I have to get rid of you two. It's kinda sad; you both have done well in my organization."
He took off his mask and they could see his Mangekyo swirling. The next moment they both dodged a Fireball.
The founder of the Uchiha clan laughed. "You both should know that even together you don't stand a chance against me."
"We'll see." Itachi answered, while throwing some Kunais at him.
"Ridiculous" Madara laughed while easily dodging them. Suddenly he could feel a present near to him. While he had focused his attention on Itachi Yumi had sneaked behind him. He was surrounded.
"We know that we can't beat you…that's why we have this" The girl whispered behind him, taking out a scroll and opened it.
Madara's eye widen when he could move anymore, a seal had appeared on the ground to his feet.
"What is that?"
"A technique to seal you away once for all. From now on Tobi will be the main personality. You'll never be able to come out again as long as the seal is active." (A/N: I know that something like this won't work. But since he wouldn't agree with Itachi being leader we kinda had to get him out of the way.)
"Damn it!!" Madara cursed and was trying to get out of the seal.
"Ready?" Itachi asked. His wife nodded and they both started to lead chakra through the seal on the ground, it started to glow. Madara was furious, but unable to do anything.
"I-I swear I'll get you two. And if it's the last thing I do. I'll get you!!"
Then everything was over. The seal glowed up one last time, then it vanished and Madara sank down.
Yumi and Itachi leaned against the wall of the cave, completely exhausted.
"T-to use this seal took more chakra than I thought" Yumi said, breathing heavily.
"Yes, we can only hope it will last."
"We have to keep a close eye on Tobi, to notice any sign it gets weaker. Should it ever break we are in trouble."
"More than that. But I think for now, we're fine."
Yumi nodded, then she looked up into the sky where the sun started to rise.
"Itachi, we have to go. Or we'll get too late to the meeting with the other members."
"You're right Yumi-tenshi. Let's go."
In the meantime Tobi, who lied on the ground slowly, opened his eyes. He blinked confused for a few times and looked around.
"Tobi feels really weird." He blinked a few times. "Maybe he ate too much Candy." His eyes then wandered over to Itachi and Yumi, who were leaving.
"Itachi-san!! Yumi-san!! Wait for Tobi!!" He yelled running after them and putting his mask back on.
(Author's note: The idea with sealing Madara away belongs a friend of mine (Bakuto Masaki) It's all his.)
"You all know what why we've gathered here. We're here to discuss how it will go on with the Akatsuki."
"Stop making me wait and just tell us what your plans are Itachi" Sasori complained, impatient as always.
"Well, as you know I'm the new Leader with Yumi as my second in command and-"
"Wait, what the fuck? Just because she's sleeping with you she's second in command now? You've got to be fucking kidding me!!" Hidan nearly yelled but closed his mouth as soon as he realized what he just said.
"If you're doubting my strength and my abilities to be second in command Hidan, maybe I should give you a taste of it…" The blond haired girl whispered, her voice was calm but her eyes burned with anger like blue flames.
"N-no Yumi…" He assured quickly. He had made the mistake to anger her once when she joined and regretted it till today.
Itachi waited a few moments, when he was sure there would be no further interruption he went on.
"After a long talk with Pein we decided to make me the new Leader. I thought for a long time and a lot of things will change."
His former fish-looking partner looked at him.
"What do you mean Itachi-san?"
"The most important difference will be that we'll no longer hunt after the Jinchuurikis."
The other members looked at him surprised. This wasn't what they had expected. In the end it was Zetsu who spoke first.
"Why is that Itachi?"
'I knew they would ask this' he thought to himself. Luckily he already had thought out an answer that would hopefully satisfy them.
"The power of the Bijuu is too big and it's too dangerous to use it. It could get out of control.
We can't take this risk. The war with Konoha showed us that our way was wrong. Akatsuki will be different from now on."
"What do you mean?" A rather annoyed Deidara asked.
"Our new goal will be to bring and keep the peace in this world. We'll also try to help to keep the balance between the nations."
"What the fuck?! I want to sacrifice people!! Not bring them peace and this shit!!" Hidan ranted, being his old self again.
"I doubt we'll get much money form this" Kakuzu, the oldie of the organization grumbled.
Itachi sighed, now the time had come. He had to convince them somehow.
"I'll not force anyone to stay. You all are welcome to go whenever you like. However, when you stay I expect you to support our new goals. I won't tolerate any misbehaviour. It's your free decision. So? What do you say?"
The members looked at each and thought for a few moments.
"It doesn't really matter to me. So it's fine with me." The red haired puppet master of the group declared.
"As long as I get paid I can leave with that." They all shook there head at Kakuzu.
"Will I still get to sacrifice people?"
Itachi sighed at the Jashinist.
"I guess there will still be fights."
The usual bloodthirsty smirk appeared on Hindan's lips.
"Then I'm in."
"I already told you I will help to keep the peace Itachi." Pein said quietly.
In the end the rest of the members agreed as well, though it took some time till Zetsu had stopped arguing with himself. However Deidara was fuming.
"I'm not going to work under Weasel-ass" He said furiously. "Sooner or later I'll leave, I'll only stay as log as I have found a place I can go."
Itachi nodded at the blond artist.
"Then it's decided. Now that this is settled, you all are dismissed."
At last the meeting was over and they all disappeared back into the shadows.
Itachi looked at his wife, while they were on there way back home.
"This went better than I thought."
"Yes, Akatsuki isn't really a threat anymore. And we took care of Madara."
Itachi nodded, a small smile on his lips.
"For Akatsuki a new era has begun. And I'll do my best to lead the organization."
Omakage:
Michaela: So where were you guys last night?
Yumi: What makes you think we weren't at home last night?
Michaela: (gives them a look) Honey, I have my ways. Now, where did you go last night?
Itachi: Hn…
Yumi: (sighs) We went to go seal Madara into Tobi.
Michaela: (coughs and chokes on air) WHAT THE HELL?! AND YOU DIDN'T FREAKING TELL ME?!
Itachi: We didn't think you need to know.
Michaela: And what the hell was I supposed to tell Tsukiko when her mother and her father aren't home?
Yumi: Err…
Michaela: You didn't even think about that did you?
Itachi: We were sure we were going to succeed. There was no need for a back-up plan.
Michaela: You always need a back-up plan, even if you know for sure you are going to succeed. What if, on the off chance, Madara had some allies within the vicinity? Then what would you have done?
Yumi: Defeat them all.
Michaela: But then you wouldn't have enough chakra for the sealing. You should at least have called me for help!
Yumi: It was Akatsuki business!
Michaela: Sealing Madara into Tobi was UCHIHA business. Last time I checked, I was a bloody Uchiha!
Itachi: (roars) Enough!
Michaela & Yumi: (quiets down)
Itachi: Yes, it was stupid of us to forget a back-up plan but we succeeded and that's all.
Silence…
Michaela: (groans) I need some sake. (gets up and about to go into the kitchen but turns around to face Yumi and Itachi) Next time you guys decide to seal an evil personality within a better personality, you better fucking tell me. I need a good fight once in a while. (turns around and walks into the kitchen)
