Chapter 22

The Next Day

Alexis's POV

I wake up to the sound of birds and I cover my head with a pillow, trying to block the noise out, but it only gets louder.

"Wake up." 

I sit up and I see Hana and Logan by the door amused, I speak in Parseltongue and Logan laughs as Hana looks at me confused.

"What are you saying?" Hana asks.

"She speaks Parseltongue, so I tried learning it and I got somewhere, she said, 'If you were behind those bird noises, then I give you 20 seconds to run.' We weren't behind the bird noises." Logan says and Hana nods.

I get out of bed, muttering incoherent words about birds and they're annoying sounds while Hana and Logan watch amused.

I grab my normal clothes, consisting of a dark blue slim long sleeve with the Uchiha crest on the right shoulder, my Jonin flack jacket and my leggings. I walk into my bathroom, I shower and change into my normal clothes. I leave my hair wet and straight, I then walk out of my bathroom and to my kitchen, then I remember I have nothing for breakfast.

"I'm going out to eat, it seems." I say and put my ninja sandals on while Hana and Logan jump off my balcony to Logan's balcony next door. I walk out of my apartment and I walk down the halls. I walk down the streets to the Gates and I see Sora there. "Leaving already?" I ask and he turns around to look at me, shock written on his face.

"Old Lady Alexis, I didn't expect you." He says and then gains his composure.

I smirk. "See, I had a feeling something was off, I didn't hear anything earlier like Naruto yelling Ramen down the hall from my apartment, or Guy and Lee yelling something about Youth, this must have been why." I say crossing my arms over my chest as I look at him.

Sora laughs nervously. "They just left, I was just about to leave." Sora says to me.

I raise an eyebrow. "Oh? And where are you going to go? The nine tails chakra in you is wanted by an Organization called the Akatsuki, they've already taken the one, four, five, and seven tails." I say and Sora looks at me shocked. "Let me tell you something, if you go to the Hidden Cloud and reside there, then Lord Raikage will take that as my payment for me being late and you'll be safe there, because the Eight Tails and Two Tails resides there, they could teach you how to control the Nine Tails Chakra in you so you don't go berserk again." I say and Sora just grins.

"I was a monk in training, I can handle myself, if those Akatsuki guys come for me then they're in for a big surprise." Sora says to me with a smirk.

I just smile. "Alright, but if you need somewhere to hide from them, then go to the Hidden Cloud or the Hidden Sand. Gaara is the Kazekage and I know him personally, just say that I sent you."

"I bet he's as old as you." Sora says with a smirk.

"Quite the opposite, he's 17 and the Kazekage, Naruto and everyone else can vouch for that." I say and Sora looks at me shocked. "He was also the One Tail's Jinchuriki before he was captured, that the only reason I know that some of the other tailed beasts were captured, we got Gaara back but he was that alive, Granny Chiyo saved him but gave her life so she could. Anyways, he's alive, and he's a very good person, if you need help, just ask." I say to him and Sora just smirks.

"Fine, but you better be on your toes if I need help Old Lady." Sora says and leaves.

"So seems you don't care what he calls you either." Asuma says walking up with a smirk on his face.

I raise an eyebrow. "Let me guess, he called you Old Man Asuma then?" I ask and Asuma nods with a smirk.

One Week Later

I get a message from Lord Raikage.

I read it and I look at it shocked. "Lady Yugito was captured by the Akatsuki?" I say shocked.

2 Months later

A raven lands on my shoulder.

I take the note off its back and send it on its way.

I read the note.

Alexis
            Meet me at the first place the Uchiha settled, Sasuke is coming soon, I'm sure you heard that he took out Orochimaru.
                                                              Itachi.

My eyes widen. "So soon?" I mumble and I get up.

I leave a note on the counter saying I'll be back in a week.

I run to Lady Tsunade's office. "Lady Tsunade." I say walking in and she looks up from her paper work.

"What is it Alexis?" Lady Tsunade asks me.

"I have to do something outside of the village, I'm gonna go visit where the Uchiha first settled, which isn't too far, just a day's run, do I have permission to leave for a while?" I ask her and Lady Tsunade thinks for a minute.

"Why are you gonna visit there?" Lady Tsunade asks me.

"Because I haven't visited since the massacre and I'm an Uchiha, and I might find something I didn't before." I say to her and Lady Tsunade goes back to thinking.

"Alright, but only for one week." Lady Tsunade says to me.

"Thank you." I say and walk out and run to the gates, passing Hana and Logan.

They run to catch up with me.

"Where are you going?" Hana asks once I stop at the gates.

"Personal mission." I say and both of them look at me confused. "I'll tell you once I get back, but I need to go." I say to them and they nod.

I run half the day before I get to the first place the Uchiha settled, Kisame blocks my path and I growl. "Let me through you fish out of water, I am seeing my brother." I say to him.

"Not going to happen, Itachi told me that only his younger brother was aloud to pass." Kisame says to me.

An idea pops into my mind.

He wants me to come through there? Alright.

"Fine, tell Nii-san that I'm coming." I say to Kisame and I poof down to the secret entrance. I walk through the maze before I get to the main hall. I see Itachi sitting on the chair and I walk over. "Nii-San."

Itachi gets up and hugs me. "Your here."

I hug him back. "I'm not going to let you die with out me at least saying goodbye, what kind of sister would I be if I let that happen?" I ask him and I feel tears hit my hair and I hug him tighter before I sob quietly into his shoulder.

"Thank you for always trusting me Alexis." Itachi says to me quietly.

"I know what you did was good, not bad, I'm your twin and I'll always trust you, through thick and through thin." I say to him through my quiet sobs.

Itachi pulls back and look at me. "You haven't cried for a while I take it?" Itachi asks as he removes some tears from my face. "Your my baby sister, I don't mind if you cry on my shoulder, I will always be there." Itachi says to me.

"Probably not physically after Sasuke comes, but mentally, you'll always be here." I say and Itachi nods.

"Alexis, I want you to do something for me." Itachi says placing his hands on my shoulders.

I look at him.

"I want you to take my eyes and implant them into you, that way one of us will have the eternal Mangekyo and a better shot at life. When you implant my eyes into you, I want you to cast a Gen-Jutsu strong enough that even Uchiha wouldn't be able to see through, on my eyes to make it look like my eyes are still there and I want you to cast a few other Gen-Jutsu for me as well." Itachi says to me with a serious voice.

"Nii-San, I don't want to be responsible for you losing your eyes completely." I say to him in a worried tone.

"Then implant your old eyes into me, I won't get the eternal Mangekyo, just take my eyes, you deserve this. The Leaf put you through so much since the Massacre and before then too. I want to die by Sasuke's hand, so please, do this for me." Itachi says as he places his forehead on mine in a pleading way.

"Alright." I say reluctantly.

"Thank you." Itachi says to me quietly.

I do what he requested and I can feel the Eternal Mangekyo in my eyes. I look at Itachi after I deactivate my Sharigan.

"Nii-San." I say to him.

"Your eye sight was worse than mine." Itachi says shocked.

I nod. "I know my way around Konoha, so acting like I wasn't almost completely blind was a cinch, for my missions it wasn't hard because I knew who I was fighting." I say to him and Itachi nods. "You should still be able to use the Mangekyo though and your Susanoo will appear all by itself if your in immediate danger and Amaterasu is always there to use, and your Gen-Jutsu are always there too." I say to him and Itachi nods.

"Seems you were too stubborn to ask for help again." Itachi says to me.

"When am I not stubborn when I have to ask for help? I'm an Uchiha, help isn't in our vocabulary." I say to him and Itachi smirks.

We both sit on the chair and talk for a while before I hear foot steps coming.

"He's here." I say to Itachi and he nods.

"Stay hidden." Itachi says to me.

I nod and hide up on the ceiling in a dark corner with my chakra masked.

Sasuke walks in and I watch as the two of them fight.

And it explodes to the roof.

Once the fight is over, Itachi makes his way slowly over to Sasuke, pokes his forehead, then collapses.

I jump down and sit next to Itachi sadly.

Sasuke looks at me and him shocked.

"How long have you been there?" Sasuke asks me.

"Long before you got here." I whisper and show Sasuke the note Itachi sent. "Itachi always notifies me if something big is about to happen to him and I do the same back, because I know the truth about everything, I always have and always will." I say to Sasuke and he looks at me shocked.

I cry over Itachi, not exactly quietly and not exactly loudly. "Nii-San." I whisper over and over again.

I notice the smile on his face and I cry harder over his chest.

He didn't deserve this.

Sasuke just smirks at me and slides down. "I crushed your soul and killed Itachi." Sasuke says and falls unconscious.

Ravens fly over me in circles with a crow in the center.

I calm down after a few hours. "Nii-San, you didn't deserve this at all." I whisper.

A plant thing comes up and takes, me, Itachi and Sasuke somewhere.

I sit in a room next to Sasuke.

I look over to see the masked guy.

"Nice to see Alexis, I told you I would see you soon." He says to me.

"Leave me alone, I'm not in the mood." I say and he just grumbles and leaves the room for a while.

Sasuke wakes up after a few hours and Madara walks in again.

The two talk while I just sit in the corner with my head on my knee's and my arms holding my legs close to me.

Somehow Sasuke hits Madara with Amaterasu with the Mangekyo in his eye.

"So that's why." I say already figuring out that Itachi set that trap up with my old eyes.

Madara tells Sasuke the truth and Sasuke freaks out. I walk over to Sasuke and hug him tightly and he calms down under my hug.

"Its ok Sasuke." I say to him and Madara pulls me back.

"Alexis, is this the truth?" Sasuke asks me.

I stay quiet. "Madara, that was mine and Itachi's secret, you weren't aloud to tell it to him." I say to him and I can feel the smirk behind his mask.

"What were you gonna do about. Your crushed." Madara says to me.

I keep myself from punching him and my white skeletal Susanoo flickers.

"So you aren't crushed." Madara says and I feel his smirk.

"No, I'm not, because I got what I wanted for the most part. I got to sit and talk with my Twin, I would have preferred it somewhere better and with out our eye's weighing us down, but I at least got to say goodbye. Itachi knew that I wouldn't be completely crushed if I at least got to talk to him and say goodbye, that's why he told me to come, because he didn't want me vulnerable. My twin is an amazing person, if you doubt that or don't believe me, then you don't have to talk to me, because I love my brother and I would have given my life if it meant he and Sasuke could talk things over and smooth things out, because my brothers mean the world to me. I hate to see Sasuke hating Itachi, it's just not right and its all because of Danzo feeding lies into the clan and making my Father betray the Leaf, but not his own sons and daughter. So don't you dare try anything or I will finish what Hashirama started." I say to him and Sasuke looks at me shocked, clearly remembering when I said that my two brothers meant the world to me.

"I still mean the world to you? Even after killing Itachi and hating you for the rest of my childhood and most of my teen years?" Sasuke asks me.

I look at him with a smile. "You were right to hate me and Itachi. Itachi wanted to die by your hands so his pain would end, he knew I could never do it, that's why he did what he did." I say to Sasuke and I walk past Madara and he grabs my shoulder, I grab his hand and throw him through the wall. "Goodbye Sasuke." I say before I walk out of the room.

"Wait." Sasuke says loud enough so that I can here. "Stay until I fall asleep big sis."

I smile to myself at the name. I walk back in and sit next to him. "Fine, but only for tonight, I have duties to get back to and I can't go back to the Leaf empty handed, other wise Lady Tsunade is gonna get suspicious about the real reason why I came out here." I say and I can tell Sasuke isn't himself right now so I place an arm around him and side hug him.

Song: Song of the Sea,  Music in Media.

Alexis: Hush now my storeen
Close your eyes and sleep
Waltzing the waves
Diving the deep

Alexis: The stars are shining bright
The wind is on the rise
Whispering words of long lost lullaby's

Alexis: Oh won't you come with me, 
Where the moon is made of  gold
And in the morning sun,
We'll be sailing

Alexis: Oh won't you come with me
Where the ocean meets the sky
And as the clouds roll by,
We'll sing the song of the sea

Alexis: I had a dream last night
And heard the sweetest sound
I saw a great white light and dancers in the round
Castle's in the sand and cradles in the tree's

Alexis: Don't cry, I'll see you by and by

Alexis: Oh won't you come with me,
Where the moon is made of gold
And in the morning sun
We'll be sailing

Alexis: Oh won't you come with me
Where the ocean meets the sky
And as the clouds roll by
We'll sing the song of the sea

"Good night big sis." Sasuke says as he closes his eyes.

Alexis: Rolling, rolling, rolling

Alexis: Oh won't you come with me
Where the moon is made of gold
And in the morning sun
We'll be sailing free

Alexis: Oh won't you come with me
Where the ocean meets the sky
And as the clouds roll by
We'll sing the song of the sea.

"Good night Sasuke." I say as I feel his breathing steady. I lay him on his bed and I send a protective barrier around him, just incase Madara tries anything.

I use a jutsu to teleport me back to the place where the Uchiha first settled. 

I walk around and find a library. My eye's light up.

"You've found the Uchiha library." 

I put my Uchiha face back on and I turn to face Madara. "Leave me alone, I have no business with you now that my twin is dead." I say to him and he just tries attacking me but my Susanoo appears, blocking him from touching me. "I have my Susanoo auto set to protect me if I'm in immediate danger. You won't get past my Susanoo." I say to him as my eternal Mangekyo flares to life.

"I see, Itachi gave you his eyes in return for your beat up ones." Madara says to me.

I do a few hand signs and I teleport outside the Leaf village and I deactivate my Eternal Mangekyo.

I walk in and nod to Izumo and Kotesu, they wave.

I walk to my apartment and sit on my bed.
