The strong stone wall crumbled, making it seem more weak and vulnerable than it really was, as three giant snakes slithered through it. People were screaming, children were running everywhere, stray youngsters were swept up in the giant snake's mouth. Only three people were standing still.

-----

Kit woke up suddenly, shooting straight up like a bullet. They were happening again. It had been twelve years since the last dream, why again now? But - she noticed she only had the dreams when something was happening - something bad. Her eyes turned sad. Was it too much to ask to just be a normal woman, with a normal husband, and a normal kid, and a normal life? Yes, for her it was. But she often wished she was normal.

She slipped out of bed, careful not to wake Itachi, and slid silently out of the room. She knew she wouldn't be able to go back to sleep, and dressed quietly outside the door. Throwing a glance outside the window, she noticed the sun was just about to rise. Kit didn't want to make a big deal about having the dreams; she didn't want to start this whole `angel' thing again.

Ayame didn't know. Kit's biggest fear was that Ayame would find out and hate her forever. It wasn't that they had a lack of trust or a bad relationship; it wasn't that. Ayame loved fantasy; she loved the idea of angels and demons. That was why Kit was feeling so guilty. Ayame's vivid imagination would often get her in trouble. She would be caught slacking off in class, or she would be caught daydreaming.

Kit walked outside their small house and looked at the small lake that was right outside their house. Itachi and her had built the house when Itachi found out Kit was pregnant and he wanted to stop living at the Akatsuki.

She sat down on the small rock, one of the many that surrounded the small body. Ayame had always loved angels. She had always dreamed of being an angel. Kit had never told her about what she was. Ayame was an angel.

It wasn't because she was a bad mother. No, Kit thought she did pretty well as a mother, without having really known her own. In fact, she still didn't know who her mother was. She had never found her. Kit sighed for what seemed like the millionth time that night, and stared up at the sky. Dawn reached it's slender fingers over the horizon, and Kit got up and headed to the kitchen, fully intent on starting breakfast.

-----

Ayame bolted up in her bed, black hair flailing around her. That dream.. It had been so real, so lifelike. She closed her eyes and drew in a greedy breath of air. Her breathing was still ragged and she got up to get a glass of water.

Her bare feet padded silently on the wooden floor. She was careful not to wake her mother or father. Ayame slipped past their room. The bathroom was the next door after their room. She slipped into the large room and grabbed the cup, greedily drinking the water. She stopped suddenly. It was a wierd feeling that overcame her, it wasn't déjà vu, but something similar, like she was reliving someone's memories.

She shook her head. A vision.. It was of a small pond, surrounded by two baby trees, and various types of large trees. Her eyes widened. It was that place again. Again? She had never seen that place in her life. It was beautiful. The sky was blue, endless and wild. Birds flew in the sky, seeming to blend in. It looked so real, so lifelike. Almost like..

She put her hand on the mirror. Then there was blackness.

-----

Kit stopped suddenly in the kitchen. Something was wrong. She tossed her knife carelessly onto the counter and dashed out of the room, her slippered feet pounding on the floor. Her eyes narrowed. The bathroom. It was coming from the bathroom. She ran faster and arrived at the door. Kit gasped.

A giant black hole was in the middle of the mirror, and it was proceeding to draw everything in around it. Kit looked outside the bathroom, and screamed, hoping Itachi would hear her. Two minutes past, and she started to lose her grip. Then he appeared.

A pale hand grasped onto her own, and she looked up to meet blood-red eyes. She smiled, and he pulled her out of the room, causing them to fly backwards from the force of his pull. Itachi's back slammed into the wall, and he winced. Kit looked up and gasped.

"Itachi-kun! I'm so sorry." She looked towards where the black hole had disappeared. "What.. was that..?"

He didn't say anything for a second, just held onto her. She welcomed it, still shaking from what just happened. A sigh escaped his lips. "She's gone."

"Who's gone..?" No sooner had the words left her lips, she felt it too. The loss of chakra. Ayame.. "Ayame-chan?"

"…"

She looked up at him, and for the second time in their time together, she saw sadness in his eyes. A sadness that could only be matched by her own. "We have to find her."

He stood up, pulling her firmly against his chest. Tears welled up in her eyes. "No.."

"..No?"

"Kit, she's.. gone.."

AN: kya jaganshi asked me in the review how old Itachi was. I hinted at it, but you would have had to do math (yes, I know I'm evil) but I'll post the ages here for you. The numbers in brackets were their ages in Wake Me Up Inside.

Itachi - 29 (17)

Kit - 27 (15)

Ayame - 12 (not born yet)

Hope that helps - thanks to kya jaganshi for pointing that out. O_oUU

Also - MM.ORG hates me, so the italics and bold might not come out as they were supposed to.. >__<U

Thanks to all who reviewed, and thanks for reading! ^-^
