Chapter 6!

I recently read a story.

It was scarring to say the least.

If i ever write like it,

I'd have to an hero.

Oh gawd,

A tip, (though i know you wont follow)

Never look up a story called:

My Immortal.

Extremely short chapter, and I am sorry, but I did put two out in one night! ^-^

I'll more than likely have the next one out within a couple days.

~The Kindest Demon

Itachi woke early, 3:47 am to be precise. Peeling Sasuke off his side he stood in the morning darkness and peeked out of the window. All was silent, peaceful, cold. Itachi grabbed a pair of pants and threw them on, he stripped off his shirt and threw on a long sleeve one instead. A simple combination. Grabbing his jacket as he left Itachi gave one more look at the empty house, how did it seem so normal when it was really so fucked up? With a small sigh, Itachi threw on his coat and left the house.

-----

Walking through the night, Nothing seemed to be wrong. Silent. No, Hollow. Did all of the Uchiha's live the same life as Itachi did? Did they feel pain? Did they know what true pain was? Itachi let out a sigh and focused on the morning sky. The moon was still completely evident. Full and large. It shone brightly enough to light up Itachi's path in the darkness. With each step Itachi could feel the aura change from unsettling and uncomfortable to comfortable and safe as he approached his destination. The shrine became evident in the distance. The large Uchiha symbol on the front of the door brought down the worth of the building in Itachi's eyes. Looking at the doorway he saw his master, leaning in his usual black and red yukata, eyes faced downward. Itachi's heart fluttered. His expression changed from the usual blank-faced glare to a smile. A genuine smile. Madara didn't move and Itachi unthinkingly quickened his pace toward his master.

After what seemed like an eternity of walking, Itachi reached his master, saying simply,

"Hello, Master." Itachi had managed to say in his usual character, he calmed himself and went back to a blank-faced glare as Madara looked up and smiled at his young student.

"I am surprised, Itachi." He stood up straight, back turned to Itachi as he began walking into the shrine. Itachi followed and asked,

"At what may I ask?"

"The fact you came to meet me here."

"Master you know my loyalty to you is true."

"Yes, I know; but I thought becoming an anbu captain was more important. Watch your step." Madara stepped up onto a ledge that led into another room of the shrine.

"I could care less about becoming an anbu. I never wanted this; The fact of the matter is, This is all my fathers dream. He wants to use me to start a war with Konoha a-"

"What is the problem with that?" Madara asked apathetically. Itachi froze.

"Master..." Madara realized what he had said and spun around to face the boy.

"I'm sorry Itachi. I did not mean that. I have a past as well, one that has forced me to hate what I created." Itachi pondered what Madara had said as he stared into his beautiful eyes.

"Hate what you have created...?"

"Yes, Itachi. Now come with me. I have something to show you." Madara turned and continued walking. Itachi followed silently, thinking. Before Itachi knew it, they were in the back room of the shrine and Madara was lifting the Uchiha mat from the ground in front of a stone slab filled with names. Itachi stood back, not wanting to get in his way. Madara tossed the mat to the side and pressed on the ground where the mat had been. The ground shook. Running his hands over the ground, Madara finally found what he seemed to be searching for. Once Madara got hold of it, he picked up the large plank off the ground.

"Come." Madara beckoned for Itachi to come closer. Itachi obeyed and looked down the hole in the ground. Understanding immediately he looked into the hole, searching for some type of stairs. On the side of the hole, there were slits in the rock. Itachi climbed in slowly being careful, trying not to slip. His efforts were not rewarded as his foot slipped off one of the steps and he began falling into the hole, Madara graciously moved a hand and swiftly took hold of his students hand.

"be careful Itachi. One slip could cost you your life." He smirked down at the Uchiha now being held up by his strength. He took a moment then let go of Itachi's arm.
