A New Journey

Conflicts

Kurami sat by Itachi brushing his hair away from his face. "You should go back Kurami. I'm sure their already suspicious." She smiled softly at him. "Maybe. I suppose I'll go. You sure you'll be alright by yourself here?" He nodded. "I'm sure. I can still see through these you know." She giggled softly. "Alright. I'll be on my way then. Take care Itachi." She leaned down and gave him a kiss which he returned. She broke the kiss as she started to feel a stabbing pain again. She wanted to get away before any symptoms started showing. "Goodbye Itachi." She didn't make it to far when she collapsed to her knees coughing up blood. Itachi was quick to his feet and grabbed one of her arms and rubbed her back. "Kurami please tell me you didn't do as I thought you did to obtain those pills." She panted after the coughing subsided. "I'm sorry Itachi. You didn't give me enough time." He tightened his grip on her arm. "Dam it Kurami! You should have just left me be as I told you! I'm not worth throwing your life away for!" She glared at him. "And I've told you many times before Itachi. My life was over many years ago. When I die now has no meaning. If I die to save you then so be it. I will die happy, because I would have done it for the man I love." She clenched her eyes shut waiting to be yelled at but she was only pulled into his arms. Her eyes widened and she looked up at him. "Kurami. As much as I love you too, you know we can't be together." She nodded looking at the ground sadly. "I understand. I know what I must do. I'm sorry Itachi. I've put you in a bad place." He tilted her chin up to look at him. "No, we're both in a difficult place Kurami. You have done nothing wrong. By loving me it only makes it harder on both of us. You know you must be with Sasuke and protect him. He is the one you must continue the Uchiha lineage with." She leaned the top of her head against his chest. "But Itachi, what if one day Izuna's seal wears off and I'm no longer able to bear children. Will either of you even still want me?" Itachi frowned at her and cupped her cheek gently and moved her head to look at him once more. "I doubt either of us will stop loving you just because you can't have children. But if Sasuke does. I never will." She smiled softly and tears trailed down her cheeks. She wrapped her arms around his neck as she began crying. Itachi wrapped his arms around her waist holding her to comfort her. She gave him a soft thanks as her crying calmed.

Itachi was left to rest in her cave as she headed back to the base. Her vision blurred a bit and she began getting dizzy. She stumbled around trying to catch herself. She tripped and caught herself on a tree. She stayed there for a minute to see if everything would clear up. She looked to to side and saw Hashirama walking towards her. She glared intensely at him. "How dare you approach me! You vile piece of shit! After all that you have done to me and my brothers! Don't dare come crawling to me for forgiveness! I will never forgive you! It's your fault my brothers were killed! If it weren't for you Hiroko wouldn't have been killed by your brother!"

Sasuke looked at her confused as she yelled in some direction. Suigetsu looked at her with the same confusion. "Who is she yelling at?" Sasuke shook his head. "Let me handle this." He walked up to her and she gasped seeing him, but she saw him as Tobirama. Her anger rose and she drew her sword. Sasuke's eyes widened and Karin's jaw dropped. She never thought Kurami would attack Sasuke. Jugo frowned his brows at her. He could tell something was off with her. Suigetsu was just in panic about the two. Kurami ran at Sasuke with the intent to kill. "You killed my son! I thought I killed you you son of a bitch! Why won't you stay dead! I won't let you live for what you've done to Hiroko! He had done nothing wrong yet you found him a threat! You're the monster! Not the Uchiha! May all Senju die!" She had kicked Sasuke's feet out from under him and as he hit the ground his sword flew out of his hand. She rose her sword over him ready to give the final blow when her sword was knocked out of her hands. She turned to see Madara but as her past brother. "Big. Brother." She passed out no longer able to stand. Madara caught her and sighed. Sasuke glared at him. "What's wrong with her?" Madara looked down at him. "This is something she merely caused herself. A side effect of one of the few viruses she has given herself I believe." Sasuke's eyes widened as did everyone else's.
