"I'm COMING FOR YOU, OROCHIMARU!!!!!" She screamed before breaking into maniacal laughter. "That's the little sister I know." Gaara said, pushing ahead of me. She suddenly stopped, Gaara almost crashing into her. I stopped running and listened. "I can hear them... why are they crying?!" She asked. "WHY ARE MY BABIES CRYING?!" She screamed. My anger boiled over at the sound of the crying infants. "GET AWAY FROM THEM!" She screamed, charging through the arch way and tackling Orochimaru to the ground. The girls were laying on a bed.

Azamuku grabbed his head, slamming it into the ground repeatedly. He threw her off of him, slamming her back against a wall. Gaara snarled at Orochimaru as I ran at him. "I'll kill you!" I shouted. He had a delayed reaction of dodging me but barely missed me punching him. Azamuku ran to the girls and looked over them, both of them having a bruise on their sides. "He.... Hurt them...." She said. The energy in the room sunk as I felt her and Gaara both stop. Everything in me died that moment. As if we were all one person, our bodies radiated chakra. "What's this?" Orochimaru asked. I pushed off the ground , floating next to Azamuku.

Gaara raised himself up on sand below us as a web of Azamuku's chakra formed over the girls as a shield. I felt Gaara's tailed beast meld with my mark and Azamuku pull us both into her. "You can mess with me." She said, her voice dual toned. "You can mess with my brothers." She said. "And you can mess with Sasuke." She continued. "But you took my girls. And you have harmed their innocent bodies." She snarled, a projection of herself growing behind her.

The look on Orochimaru's face began to turn to horror. She raised her hands, sand following her movements as well as her projection pushing forward and in front of the sand. "You do not deserve to live." She snarled. "It's over." She said, growling. "Secret technique: Reaper's Wrath." She said, the sand and her projection attacking him. His body jerked in every direction while bits of him would be torn away. Before the attack ended, her projection forced it's way into his body through his mouth making his entire body explode and coat the room in his remains.

When silence fell, the web over the girls faded as Azamuku ran to them. I followed after her, picking up one of them, her getting the other. "My babies." She whimpered. "It's ok. Mama and Daddy got you." She said, walking to me. Gaara gave a smile as he walked to us and looked over the girls. "Muku..." I began. "Yes, Sasuke?" She replied. "I love you... but you're absolutely terrifying." I said. She smirked and looked towards the hall. The blood that covered her had dried up and began to crust and flake. "You should definitely have been born under my family." Gaara said.

Azamuku and I cradled the girls to our chest as we all walked out. She began to hum as we walked, Mikoto giggling and squealing in her arms. "Sasuke?" Gaara started. "Yeah?" I said, walking next to him behind her. "I know I don't show much emotion but I want you to know I'm thankful that she has you. I've never seen her happier. She's talked about others when she wrote to me... but nothing ever even compared to how she talks about you." He said. "You mean when she was in the Akastuki?" I asked. He nodded and sighed.

"I'm very weary of this Deidara guy. She was one that she spoke highly of. The other oddly enough was your brother. She was always too young for them but the way Itachi treated her..." He said. "When the leader wasn't there, Itachi would put her on his lap and just hold her." He continued. From what she was telling me, Itachi loved her. Not in a sibling way. By the sounds of it, he was waiting for her to be of age if she stayed that long." He said "Gaara. Please stop talking. I don't want to know how my brother lusted for my soon to be wife." I said, sighing.

"Sasuke?" Azamuku said. "Yes, beautiful?" I replied, earning a small smile from her. "I'd like to go visit Itachi's and Tobi's graves. Please?" She asked. I looked at her and sighed, cracking a smile. "Of course." I said. Only reason I agreed was because after hearing everything about him... I felt I needed to state my forgiveness even though he was no longer alive. "I think they're both buried where Mama is." She said, looking up at the sky. "Mama. I hope you're not disappointed in how I've had to live my life. And I don't know about the last part Gaara said... but I know both of them cared for me. The Uchiha clan wasn't a bad family, Mama. They just were very misunderstood." I heard her say.

"I know you may wonder why he did what he did. It's because he had to. Sasuke wasn't even supposed to live but Itachi wanted Sasuke to put him out of his misery." She said. "He wanted the family to be avenged..." She said, looking at the ground. I looked down, my eyes filling with tears as she spoke. This entire time I thought Itachi was the bad guy. He only did it because his hand was forced. I needed to see his grave as soon as possible.
