Two Paths (Sequel to Why Me)

Itachi's memories

"What are we going to do now Mariah?" Kurayami asked.

"I forgot to do something.........something important." Mariah muttered.

"What do you have to do?"

"Before all of this happened.....before Itachi died he wanted me to show Sasuke something......."

"What was it?"

"..............His memories."

"Why didn't you do it when you had the chance???!!!!" Kurayami shouted.

"Because maybe I was talking to so many people in my head? I had other stuff going on that I couldn't even remember my own name. I'm sorry that I was forgetful. But I have to give him this information.............it might be something to get Sasuke back on our side."

"Well how are we going to get back to Sasuke? You don't have a lot of chakra left."

"I know I don't...........I guess we'll have to either wait for him to get here or we wait until I have enough chakra......whichever comes first."

"What about the battle?"

"They can handle it......Naruto is strong enough."

"What about the people who can't?"

"Don't worry.....it's all part of the plan."

"I don't like your plan......sure you have phase one and two done and phase three is coming up but I don't like phase five. You could die."

"If it makes everyone happy then I'd gladly give my life for them."

"What about the people who care for you!"

"I'll finally be free!" The demon laughed.

"It's my decision and there's only a slight chance that I'll die."

"Yeah like a 70% chance."

"See...slight.."

"No it's not! That's more than half!"

"As long as it makes people happy I don't care."

"What's wrong with you! You have so much to live for here! You have so many people who care about you and would be heartbroken if you died!" Kurayami cried.

I didn't have anything to reply to what she said. Yes it was true that if I did die it would be tragic for a lot of people.

"I almost have enough chakra." I said.

"So you're going to leave?" Kurayami asked.

"Yeah.....can you stay with Tadashi?"

"Mariah......he's dead...." Kurayami said silently.

"............I know........but I don't want his body to get hurt because I want to give him a proper burial...."

"You know that's not the reason."

"I know but still keep an eye on him."

"Fine.......go get your man." She said with a smirk.

"Whatever weirdo."

"You know you love me!"

"Whatever,"

I soon disappeared and reappeared in front of Sasuke as he was running through the forest. As he saw me he stopped on the branch that he was on staring at me surprised that I came back.

"Why did you come back?" Sasuke asked.

"I have to show you something."

"What is it?"
