Itachi

Madara seemed unusually calm and patient as we waited for Rin. Normally he would complain about the rain or how she was going to pay for her disrespect and insolence. I had been surprised when her letter arrived it said nothing more than I need an audience with Pein; so I did as she asked and after hearing of Sasuke's abandonment I knew why she didn't have much left to hold her back or rather that was the only reason I could believe she was leaving.

"She's near" I glanced at Madara then set my eyes forward as a slim figure broke through the forest and landed on the river a few feet from us. Her hair had grown again, her bangs now held back by a silver and blue leaf headband, and a new Katana was slung across her back. She looked different but it wasn't just physically; before even seeing Rin gave me a little hope, a little warmth but now she just seems tired and defeated so much so that I could feel it too.

"So Princess you came." Madara started.

"I told Pein I wanted to return, I'd have thought you'd be thrilled to have another Uchiha." She replied smoothly with her sarcastic tone behind it. She was putting on a show and as Madara chuckled I knew that he knew it too.

"Under normal circumstances yes, we lost quite a lot of business after you left. None of the others could leave the mark you did."

"I excelled at my trade, what Uchiha doesn't" It wasn't a question it was a fact.

"True, very true Princess but before we can return before you can return I have one task I require of you" Rin raised an eye.

"I'm sure you understand, of course, you have been gone an awfully long time and your loyalty has always questionable." She rolled her eyes and placed her hands on her hip.

"If you don't want me then say so I'm sure Orochimaru would be thrilled to have the Uchiha Princess" Rin shot back. Madara fell silent knowing he could only toy with Rin for so long before she got annoyed and impatient and realizing that her comment wasn't empty. He knew just as well she and I did that Orochimaru has wanted her for years.

"Well, what is it?" She asked and Madara sighed.

"I have a test for you before I allow you to return to us." She released a short sigh.

"Who do you want dead?" I heard him chuckle.

"Eager are we?"

"It's been a while; can we hurry this up now?" He chuckled again and I tensed when he began quick hand signs. Rin was gone a good distance the second he started and began her own hand signs.

"Easy Princess it's not me you have to kill" She stopped mid-jutsu but her guard still remained high as she watched him. The area seemed to compress in itself and twist before a body fell to the earth in front of the river.

"I picked up this little leaf Anbu on my way here. Does she look, familiar Princess? Or maybe you'll recognize her Itachi?" I glanced at Madara as the figure shakily rose to her hands and knees. 

"You're going to pay for that one you jerk!" She threatened and finally, she looked up. Her silver eyes widening as she met my gaze.

"Itachi" She breathed.

"You might want to save your strength" Madara replied gaining her attention. It hit me then before Madara could say it and I felt the panic in me stir as he lifted his hand towards Rin.
