Repercussion

Chapter 3

Reason for Existance

Once you were my reason for existance,

your elimination was my only goal.

But my heart's been seeped in ice,

locked away by the death of my one and only.

I once wanted to kill you,

I once wanted to end your life,

but now all I want is to end my pain,

all I want in life is the end of mine.

Itachi looked at his brother, as Sasuke and his group slowly approached were he and Kisame sat in wait. "Is it just me, or does he look, sick?" Kisame asked, leaning against a tree. "Not sick.. empty..." Itachi corrected. Kisame shrugged. "So, we attack?" Kisame asked, examining his sword. Itachi just nodded. Then the two quietly moved forwad.

-Sasuke's POV-

Sasuke sighed. Mabey Kakashi was right. Maybe Naruto would've wanted him to be happy. But Sasuke couldn't. He didn't deserve it. He was just going through that thought, when a familiar chakra signature hit him. He looked up in shock. Itachi and Kisame were slowly walking towards their group. Everyone but Sasuke moved into a defensive position. Sasuke just stood there, looking blanky at the man that Sasuke had wanted to kill all his life. "Hello, Little brother." Itachi said, mockingly. Sasuke just stared at him. "Itachi..."

Sakura moved in front of Sasuke. "Leave him alone!" She growled. Kakashi nodded. Itachi chuckled. "Leave what alone? An empty shell? A useless husk? Why?" He asked. Sakura ran and attempted to ram Itachi with her fist at full strength. Itachi sidestepped her and grabbed her arm. Sakura swung with her other first, Itachi caught that one too. He through her at Kakashi. Kisame sighed. "I'm bored." Itachi looked coldly at Sasuke. "Then, why don't you have the pleasure of thanking Sasuke." Sakura brushed herself off while Kakashi glared at Itachi.

"What do you mean, thank Sasuke?" He said, moving in front of the torn boy. Itachi chuckled, and appeared behind Sasuke and put a kunai to his throat. "Why, for taking out the kyuubi's jinchikuri. It made things much easier for us." Sasuke seemed to suddenly come back to life. He rammed Itachi in the stomach with his elbow and swung his first at Itachi's face. Itachi dissappeared, reappearing next to Kisame. "What's wrong? Did you get what you wanted, Sasuke? Didn't you get the Mangekyo?" He asked. Sasuke said nothing He just contented himself with tossing blow after blow at Itachi. Kakashi and the others suddenly joined in, when Akamarou lept at Itachi's leg. Itachi and Kisame jumped away.

"hmmm. Let's continue this later Kisame." Itachi said, while he and Kisame teleported away. Sasuke fell to the ground and began shaking. Sakura ran to comfort him. Kakashi sighed. 'Now we know, why we couldn't find his body... the Akatsuki got to it...' He moved, and sat next to Sasuke and Sakura, to help Sasuke get over what Itachi just old them.

-Itachi's POV-

Itachi at on a tree stump, glaring at the girl sitting in front of him, while she played with the lace ribbon tied around her waist. She gave him a innocent look, while he continued his glaring. She sighed, and then laughed. "Awww, come onnn Itachi. That wasn't soo bad.. You act like I asked you to make out with him or something." Itachi twitched a few times, then continued glaring. She sighed, and set a gloved hand on her cheek. "Well then, exccuuussseee me. At least I paid you." She said. Itachi continued his twitch fest. She chuckled again, quietly. "Well, thank you for your services, Mr. Fearsome Murderous S-Class Missing Nin Akatsuki Member." She said, getting up, and then walking away. Itachi continued glaring. "Brat..."
