Here I Stand.

a clone appeared in front of crimson and picked her up putting her in a tree just seconds before the 2 uchiha's colided hard on the spot crimson was seconds ago

as the debis cleared Itachi was staggering backwards with a blade firmly impailed through his chest and out the back.


blood slid out the corners of his mouth and he stumbled backwards then fel down a pool of blood forming underneth him.

"Sasuke!" Crimson's newly gained speed aided her as she appeared next to Sasuke, "What's going on? What happened?"
Seeing Sasuke's wounds from the landing, she tried to stop their bleeding.

Just before Itachi's clone slammed her against a tree.

Itachi winced and stared up at the moon. His sharingan eyes began to turn dull due to the loss of blood.

His breathing was rapid and shallow, a cripled figure panting hard on his back.

his voice was a hoarse whisper



"I can only ask you the same......sasuke.........."

Crimson was at a loss for words. What happened? Using her wires, Crimson ridded herself of the clone. The clone was weak...was it because of Itachi?
Treading carefully towards the brother's, Crimson observed the scene.

"I...I have chakura...left." Crimson really didn't want to intrude. "I don't use it much, so I have alot to spare."
Crimson cursed herself. Was this really the time to meddle?

Sai concentrated on the chakura that was dormant inside her as Sasuke performed the seals. Itachi had to live. Sasuke really loved his brother. If needed, she'd give all the chakura she had to keep the two together.

He winces and looks over knowing exacally what sasuke was tryung to do.

HE forces him self up, pressed chakara stopping points on crimson and using the last of his stregnth pelted at full speed to "god knows where"

out of sight out or the area out of this world?

What...the chakura...where'd it go?! Crimson didn't feel anything!
Just then Sasuke's body collapsed. In a panic she held our her arms, "Sasuke wake up! We have to get your brother..." Crimson saw that the younger Uchiha was exhausted. "...Men."
She said with a frusterated sigh. If the two cared about each other, why don't they just say it!
"...Sasuke you gained weight." She said as she started to drag the unconscious ninja.
But, was Itachi alright? Why'd he do that? She had so much chakura that she didn't need. Rah! THis was making her head hurt.

--FF till morning/noon Itachis POV------

Itachi found himself back in his old home where he spent his younger days. He looked out the window and went under one of the oldest sakura trees then collaped. when one would look upon the tree and gaze at the dark figure slumped agianst it's ancient bark, they would think the figure was sleeping peacefully as the sun shined through the pink blossomed branches. the green grass swaying with the breeze and the rays that leaked through the branches reflected off a hidden leaf head band. ~~~~~
(just pretend it was noon)

"You're awake!" Crimson said relieved. "For a second there I thought I had to take you to the hospital. T-T With your weight I would have died."


"Just the thought of it makes me cry."

"We don't have any clue to where he is, how are we going to find him?"

Uzuki Jing pops in. "find who?"

yuki pops out of a tree watching sasuke

"sasu-chan? whatcha doin? ...you've gott cuts all over!"
