Summary: My shortest chapter.

Itachi and Sasuke walked under the crescent moonlight; the crickets in the nearby bushes chattered like little bells. They ran past the town; the moon was staring down at them, whenever they ran towards the moon; it seemed to get further and further away, no matter how fast they ran, the moon was faster. Sasuke ran past the stores and into the fields, the nice green grassed waved at them as they passed by; hugging their shoes.

Sasuke: Come on Itachi, you slow poke.

Itachi: You know Sasuke; I'm not fully healed..

Sasuke: I know.

Itachi: Hmph.

They walked towards the Uchiha mansion. The gates outside creaked in the silent wind as they began to enter the courtyard. The courtyard was exactly how Itachi had seen it since he left that night after he `murdered' his father. When they began to walk slowly towards the front door, the wind started to pick up, the luminous moon was covered in a shroud of darkness; shadows began to emerge within the deep places of Itachi's mind.

A single rain drop landed and rested on Sasuke's nose. The rain began to pour from the heavens, louder and louder, crack, pop the rain made as it pounded the stone cobble. The rain began to come faster and faster, noisier and noisier. Then finally, the rain stopped. A lightning stroke lit up the black sky. BOOM. CRACK. CRASH.

Itachi: Hmph. Of course. My welcome home.

Sasuke: Yeah, that's weird. Come on we have to get inside.

Sasuke approached the oak porch, he climbed the steps slowy; he noticed that the shadow of his brother wasn't with him. He turned around, there was Itachi staring back at the broad gates looking at Kakashi. Kakashi walked slowly in the thunderstorm, Sasuke looked surprised; Kakashi was normally reading his book this time at night in his cozy house. But instead he came out in this to tell them something. Sasuke walked towards Itachi, and stood by his side. Itachi's eyes were fixed on Kakashi.

Sasuke: Kakashi Sensei.

Kakashi: Sasuke.. I bring a important message for Itachi Uchiha. Itachi, may I have a word in private?

Itachi: Hai.

Sasuke: Hn.

Kakashi: If you'll excuse us Sasuke.

Sasuke: Right.

Kakashi and Itachi walked out of the courtyard and out onto the open street, the lights luminously filled the street, covering every nook and cranny in a pale blue light. There wasn't a area in Kohona that didn't have a street light. Itachi as he walked began to do a meditation; he took in the chirping of the crickets, the lighting of the street lights which towered down on him. He was interrupted by Kakashi..

Kakashi: Itachi, I exhort you to pay attention. As to what I'm about to say..

Itachi: Hn.

Kakashi: Now Itachi, you need to pay attention to this. This is very important for you and Sasuke.

Itachi: Alright.

Kakashi: Itachi the council thinks you are too Irreconcilable.

Itachi: Hmph.

Kakashi: Itachi, the will of the council cannot be undone. They are quite the Ninja mavens.

Itachi: Hmph.

Kakashi: But I'm going to put a stop to this pandemonium, I believe your words. The will of the council might have a change in heart.

Itachi: So they have rendered their conclusion about me?

Kakashi: Yes, so far. But I like I said I will change their minds. But Itachi-

Itachi: Hmm..

Kakashi: There's more to tell you.

+===========================================================+

Back to the Uchiha Residence

+===========================================================+

The Poor Uchiha's. Affluent in money, but no in soul. The weather cleared when Kakashi had come, he was sitting out under the hot summer sun. Sasuke couldn't believe that they actually proselytized Itachi into redeeming his reputation. A new life a new start. Sasuke didn't like the idea of deception of him and his brother. Sasuke was no longer his disconsolate self.

Sasuke: Pssh. Hurry up I want to get to bed. I have a god damn trip tomorrow.

Out of no where, a blonde ninja; one of them. Jumped out from the bushes of the courtyard, jumped out to Sasuke. Sasuke looked over to see Ino Yamanaka. Who wanted to surprise Sasuke with her face. But she failed. Ino was in a bellicose mood. She needed a nice fight in the night.

Ino: HEY SASUKE!

Sasuke: [scoffs] Hey Ino.

Ino: WHAT'S UP?

Sasuke: Fuck off Ino, I'm really tired.

Ino: I'll fuck you anyday.

Sasuke: ……..

A nervous chuckle came out of Ino's mouth, that was all that she could say. She didn't really mean it; she just wanted to see how he react to it.

Sasuke: Pfft.

Ino: Sasuke, I was kidding.

Sasuke: Hmph. Sure….

Sasuke let out a devilish grin that could knock a few girls dead. The more Sasuke wanted the fan girl gone. The more they would come back. It was a fact of life.

Ino: Ah well. Sasuke can I ask you something?

Sasuke: Hm?

Ino: Why do you trust your brother.

Sasuke: No reason, I just do.

Ino: Hmph.

Itachi: Hn.

Ino never knew that Itachi Uchiha was behind Ino the whole time. He stood behind her; the same cold look he always has. The was talking about a killer behind his back; and he happened to hear it.

Kakashi: Well Itachi, remember what I said.

Itachi: I know.

Kakashi: Goodbye Ino, Sasuke; Itachi.

Sasuke: Later.

Ino: Bye.

Itachi: Hn.

[Kakashi disappeared into a cloud of smoke. The smoke was as thick as cotton. Just within a instant; Kakashi disappeared. ]

Ino: Well I'll be going now.

Sasuke + Itachi: Hmph.

Ino: [nervous chuckle] Bye.

Ino ran as fast as she could to the Iron gates, she was soo nervous she jumped over the gates and ran down the street.

Sasuke: Anyways, Itachi. Let's go inside.

Itachi: Yes, finally. My feet are tired.

Itachi took off his coat and put it in the closet by the front porch, Sasuke noticed something peculiar. He noticed that Itachi still had his ring. The evil ring that had been seen earlier. Itachi noticed Sasuke gazing at this one ring.

Itachi: Sasuke. What are you looking at?

Sasuke: You still have the ring.

Itachi: Yes.

Sasuke: But I thought..

Itachi: It is very precious to me, like a big red jewel.

Sasuke: Ok now your sounding like Gollum. Get rid of it. It's caused nothing but trouble, even for Sakura.

Itachi: Yes I know that was unfortunate. But fine, I'll dispose of it tomorrow.

Sasuke: Ok, well I'm off to bed. `Night.

Itachi: Good night.

Sasuke went up the stairs and went straight off to sleep, he didn't change or brush his teeth, exhausted from today; Itachi couldn't blame him. Even if Itachi was sort of a clean freak.

Itachi couldn't sleep at all. Not from that coma. He went outside onto the deck; the motion activated light detected him moving in the shadows, the light remained fixed on him. But with that Itachi jumped up onto the roof top and peered out onto the stars.

Itachi: Hmph.

Itachi jumped off the roof and back on the deck. He walked through the garden and sat on a swing the wind picked up a little speed. Itachi listened to the creaking of the rusty swing, taking in the sounds of the night. Thinking over a plethora of memories. He began to abhor these nights.

The bushes in the dark forest began to shake, louder and louder they rustled. His deep Crimson onyx eyes began to peer over into the forest. Itachi was known for being intrepid, whatever it was. It made him feel uncomfortable. After that entity that bit him in the forest of death it scarred him. Itachi never showed a modicum of being one bit scared.

The forest near him was rife with life. He could see all the aura's of biotic life but this thing in the bushes it didn't have an aura. Itachi froze like a statue just blankly staring. A few minutes later, the thing went away. But suddenly, Itachi was feeling very drowsy. His eye lids became heavy; and after a few seconds, he fell right off to sleep.

In the next morning, the sun was shining. The birds were chirping. Everything was better now. Itachi woke up to find himself in the branch of a tree. It was clear that he sleep walked.

Itachi: What the hell am I doing here?

Itachi looked over to his left to see a squirrel staring at him. The big beady eyes stared at Itachi for a long while.

Itachi: Hn. What the fuck are you looking at?

The squirrel was frightened by his look. Even though Itachi has turned over a new leaf, he still had the same staid look. It could easy intimidate anyone. Itachi jumped off the tree and walked down to the Uchiha residence. He opened the sliding doors and saw that all of Team 7 was staring at him.

Itachi: ….what?

Kakashi: Oh my..

Sasuke, Naruto, Sakura: O_o

Itachi: Hmph.

Sasuke: Itachi, where's your clothes?

Itachi looked down to see he only had some boxers on. Apparently when he woke up he was too tired to even look at himself.

Itachi: What the..

Sasuke: Itachi, go get something on, there's girls here you know.

Sakura: Uh huh

Naruto: I just lost my appetite. No ramen for me.

Kakashi: Itachi, we are leaving in 10 minutes. I suggest you get ready.

Itachi: …Alright.

Even though Itachi was completely embarrassed he was taciturn. He never was, and probably never will.

Itachi: Hnnph..

Itachi ran up the stairs as fast as he could into his old bedroom. The bedroom has Tatami flooring, it was decorated with his insignia, I. U. However, most of his parchment was ripped, Sasuke's anger over the years done the damage. There wasn't much room left in his room. It has all full of junk that Sasuke had put in there.

Itachi: Shit, where is my wardrobe? I can't find anything in this mess.

[Meanwhile back in the Uchiha kitchen].

After Itachi had ran upstairs, they couldn't help but laugh. The great Itachi Uchiha. Embarrased. What a joke. They heard Itachi making big bangs upstairs he was clearly throwing a fit looking for some clothes. He couldn't go to the airport like that.

Sasuke: Oh right, his room.. Heh. Forgot about it.

Sakura: Maybe you should go help him find some clothes.

Sasuke: Uh maybe. I don't want to get a picture frame in the head.

Kakashi: Go on Sasuke, we're leaving soon and at this rate he'll never find them.

Sasuke: Alright, fine.

Sasuke got up from the chair and walked upstairs, he knocked quietly on the door once, and there was no response. He knocked 2 more times. A bit louder.

Itachi: What?

Sasuke: Did you find your things?

Itachi: I can't find anything in this mess.

Sasuke: Yeah uh. I ran out of space in my room, so…

Itachi: Hmph. Ok where is my wardrobe?

Sasuke: It's behind a old lamp.

Itachi: I don't see a lamp.

Sasuke: Well keep looking.

Itachi: Alright, I found it. Just like it is as I last left it.

Sasuke: Yeah..

A few minutes later Itachi came out fully dressed in a black robe with white stripes. The coat was made perfectly for cold conditions.

Itachi: Alright, I'm ready.

Itachi walked down the hall and made a turn left to the stairs, Kakashi, Naruto and Sakura were staring at Itachi. This made him feel comfortable. Itachi was still blushing.

[thinking]Itachi: I guess they're not going to think of me the same way. Pff

Kakashi: So we all ready now?

All: Hai.

Sasuke: Wait, I gotta get my iphone.

Kakashi: Naruto are you prepared to accept the fact that Ramen is hard to come by in Canada. The best they have is Mr. Noodles.

Naruto: Mr. Noodles? What the hell

Kakashi: Yeah, it's basically the same as ramen.

Naruto: It better quench of crave.

Kakashi: Yeah, or I'll have to lock you in your room until we fly back.

Sakura: Kakashi-sensei.

Sakura poked Kakashi's shoulder.

Sakura: Kakashi sensei?

Kakashi: Yes Sakura?

Sakura: How long are we staying.

Kakashi: 3 Nights. Why?

Sakura: No reason..

Sasuke came back with his Iphone, he was fixing the configuration, like Timezones, making notes. Making sure everything is good as gold.

Sasuke: Alright, I'm ready.

Kakashi: Oh, I almost forgot to tell you. The whole ninja academy is coming.

Sasuke: [mutters] Great..Ino.

Kakashi: So uh.. just try to have fun. Now let's go!

They all walked out the door and into Kakashi's jeep. Itachi sat in front on the passenger side, next to Kakashi. The 3 younger ones sat in back. Now they were driving to the airport, in hopes to find a new adventure that awaits them on the other side of the world.
