•~|~•~|•~|•~|•~|•~|•~|That same night-kireina POV•~|•~|•~|•~|•~|•~|•~|

'why does this feel....familiar' I thought to myself I find myself in a dark void cloaked in nothing but darkness. Itachi's figure suddenly appear "Ita-nii!" I exclaim as I ran up, hugging him.

"Your back! I can't t-" I paused when I felt a cold metal on my neck and restraining my arms. I try to fight back but I couldn't move "please Tachi" I whispered I keep trying but my body refused to move an inch and my arms restrained, as Itachi bringing his kuni closer to my neck, I close my eyes waiting for the impact; but it never came.

I open them up again to only see rough ocean waves crashing onto the sandy beach that then morph into my old house, coming upon a couple of corpse a tear slips her eye and starts rolling down my cheek. 'why....why am I crying...do I know them?....are they my parents?' I noticed Itachi standing behind them "No I don't believe it! you couldn't have" I shout "answer me! why did you leave us, leave me." my eyes pleading for answers, begging him to stay. but he turned and left without a word.

"goodbye imotō" a voice said

"what?" I turned to the source of the voice "sa-suke?! don't go" I said with a wavier tone, couple tears forming

"I need you, please don't" I whispered

"why? your old enough to take care of yourself so you don't need me"

"S-sasuke , please, you promised" I try and grab his arm but it just slips through my grasp as he continues into the dark abyss

"h-hello a-anyo-one out there? please someone a-answer me." I was surrounded by an endless abyss "Please...I don't want to be alone" I fell down, barring my head into my knees and start sobbing quietly

=============

I wake up in cold sweat looking around confused, I felt warm tears stream down my cheeks. I closed my eyes and wiping them away and fell back into a dreamless sleep

~^~^~^~^~^~^The next morning-Sasuke POV~^~^~^~^~^~^

I woke up and started to make breakfast for Ki-Ki and I. "Ki-Ki breakfast ready" I called

"Ki-ki?!" I went into her room finding her still asleep, lightly shaking her awake. For a brief moment I thought her eyes were red, 'must be my imagination' I dismissed

"Morning, Nii-chan." she said rubbing her sleepy eyes

"breakfast is ready." I said

"ok, give me a minute.." she said I nodded and walked back to the kitchen a few minutes later she walked in wearing her outfit she usually uses for training. A sleeve shirt that shows her midriff and some white shorts that 'I think use to mine' and black ninja shoes with her hair up in a high ponytail.

"The food delicious your a good cook nii-chan!" Kireina chirped

"hn. are you going to train, just be careful. "I said

"I actually wanted to train with you Sasuke. I mean if your not too busy "

"hn?" I thought over it for a moment

"I want to show you how much stronger since you were gone."

"I suppose." I said "but how bout you finish your breakfast first." she nods and starts to chow down

After breakfast we went to the training ground. She seemed edger to show me something. When we got there both her and I got into possession and begun.

3RD POV

"Whenever your ready" Sasuke said in a ready stance

Kireina nodded "okay" she then jumps into a nearby tree taking cover

Sasuke smirked 'hn, she's smart. By using her surroundings she can eventide direct attacks' he immediately blocked some shuriken that was headed his way then threw some of his own 'her shuriken jutsu could use some work' he noted

The younger Uchiha dodged then popped out of her hiding spot and fired a giant fireball, which Sasuke countered with his own fireball. "I'm impressed I got to admit" he smirked 'that fireball was about the size of mine' he thought in awe

"I want to be strong like you Sasuke-nii" she then jumped down and quickly engaged into a taijutsu battle.She threw a few punches and kicks that Sasuke easily dodges

"you need to hit harder and you punches are too slow" Sasuke said as he threw a forceful jab making her skid a few inches back.

She wiped the saliva aside and smirked smugly as it disappeared, then Sasuke was caught in a giant gust of wind cyclone as it pushed him back slightly just as Kireina attacked him from above he quickly dodged the attack landing a few feet in from of the young girl. "Your speeds improved imotō" He pointed out "so is your agility" She smirks

she and Sasuke entered a taijutsu once again they dodges each others attack fluently.

she then delivers a roundhouse which almost knocked Sasuke off of his feet he smirked a bit "good hit"

"yeah cause I'm a genius" she cockily with a smug smirks and swiftly dodges

"now don't get too cocky imotō" he throw a punch which Kireina dodges

"What do you mean, arrogance is in our blood" she said nonchalantly she puts her hand out "Wind style gale palm" she said blowing Sasuke a couple feet away he then threw a barrage of projectiles. At first he thought against it, thinking it would be too much for the young girl but he seen her improvement and threw them. At first she stared wide eyed at it, he clenched his eyes and started mentally cursing himself for overwhelming his sister.

Waiting for the sounds of impact instead the sound of weapons falling to the ground. When he opened his eyes he saw his sister surrounded by circling flames with fallen weapons at her feet. 'Amazing' he thought with a straight face but inside he was awed

she then throws a few kuni which Sasuke easily counters them, redirecting them into nearby stray trees 'tho her shirkenjutsu is lacking.' she tried to throw a few more but missed her target

"Fire Style: Phoenix Flower Jutsu" he called out and launched several fire coated projectiles at her

she quickly dodged and countered the attack then tried again and threw some more kunai. Sasuke saw a slight difference this time as she got closer to her target this time "yes! I got you this time!" she cheered happily

as the smoke cleared revealing that he evaded her attack, her happy smirk quickly became a deflated frown "ahhh" she sulked; Which then quickly turned into sudden alertness, nearly dodging his next attack leaving only a small graze on her right cheek

she and Sasuke started to weave hand signs in sync as they fired another round of fireballs, jumping back from the small explosion with a small bead of sweat forming as she pants lightly

Sasuke noticed eyes flash bright scarlet red with 2 tomè forming in the center, letting out a small gasp at her reawaken dojutsu from the sheer determination she had

she then leaped up and spun as she threw a couple of kuni with grace and persuasion...her landing, not so much, to which Sasuke cringes at then runs up to her and lets out an inaudible gasp.

"Ki-ki-your eyes" he said bit baffled

"hn, what about them" she asked innocently

he holds up a kunai as a mirror to Kireina. A small but wide grin dawned on her face "so, does that mean I win" she smugly said

"hn, how bout we call it for today we don't want to overexert ourselves" Sasuke said as he notice her heavy breaths

"but I'm still game, c'mon let keep going" she retorts as Sasuke give her an 'are you serious' look, trying to resits the urge to roll his eyes at his his sister, instead he let out a small sigh. "C'mon I didn't even break a sweat, I can keep going and..." like irony her legs collapse under her. "ow!" a sharp pain surged as he noticed she twisted her ankle a bit. Sasuke gave her 'I told you so' look, she adverts her eyes, crossing her arms and grumbles something under her breath

he sighed and crouched down "get on" he said she nods and crawls on his back. After securing her on his back the two started back to town

++++++++++++++

"you were great today" he mutters

she gives a look of shook "really" she mutters with a small gleeful smile on her face

"yeah, but your shurikenjutsu could use some work and since your an Uchiha you got a knack for genjutsu too"

"A-arigatō" she mutters bit drain, sheepishly trying to hide her blush "onii-chan"

"hmm" he hummed

"I'm tired" she yawned resting her head on his shoulder

his lips twitched into a small smile as he continued to walk home carrying Kirena on his back
