"Orochimaru," Sasuke spat, his face turned up into a sneer. Sakachi stood behind him, her face a mask of fear and disgust. Orochimaru turned and walked through the door, knowing the twins were following. As they walked into the door, and the arena past it, a sharp gasp past through Sakachi's trembling lips. Sitting in the seats were their friends and family. Sasuke's hand twitched towards his kunais, and Orochimaru's voice floated back to them.
"Don't even think about it. Tied to each one is one of my snakes, and they will attack as soon as I am." Sasuke's hand fell limp. Sakachi smirked gently, knowing exactly what he was doing. She gently brought her hands together in a single sign, and she could feel every snake look at her. Whirling her Sharingan on, she caught them in her genjutsu. Sasuke gripped her wrist carefully, not breaking her concetration, and turned his on. He opened his mouth.
"Then let's have a fight." Orochimaru chuckled.
"What makes you think it would be fair?" He turned around to look into Sasuke's and Sakachi's eyes and froze. The red and black pierced him.
"I didn't." He said, and the arena was cast into Tsukuyomi(1).
Sakura watched as Sasuke and Sakura stood about three feet behind Orochimaru, Sakachi slightly behind Sasuke. When she turned on her Sharingan, Sakura gasped into her gag. The normal Sharingan that her father had was not what appeared in her eyes. This was her Mangekyo, and it was not normal. Her father's had a red background with a black three-edged pinwheel that connected within it, and she knew Itachi's had a red background with a black gentle three-egded pinwheel in it. Sakachi's, on the other hand, had a black background, with six ellipses connected to her red pupil as they over lapped along the bottom edges. Sakura looked up at Sasuke, and froze. She didn't feel the snake loosen at all, only stared into his Mangekyo. His also had a black background with a red design settled in it. Three red ellipses intersected over his black pupil, and made a small black star around it. She concentrated on the designs. If you compared them, Sasuke's looked like a six-pointed star while Sakachi's looked like a six petaled flower. She wondered why the number six came into the equation when she felt her mind be pulled into the darkness.
Sakachi groaned lightly under her breath. Her eyes were killing her, and she knew Sasuke's had to be too. But as she watched Orochimaru turned around, looking for them, she felt no pain. She giggled, and felt her brother huff next to her. She changed into Tsukuyomi mode.
"Orochi-Chan?" She questioned, her voice now six years old, and full of amusement. She walked out, henged to look like her six year old self. Orochimaru stared at her. Sasuke chuckled behind to her, his laugh a six year old's laugh. He walked out also, henged as his six year old self. She smiled at him.
"Orochi-Chan! I haven't seen you in forever!" She laughed, and even at that age, it still sounded like windchimes. Everyone watched as they saw the twins small. Itachi chuckled lowly, knowing what was about to happen. Sakachi bounced on her heels.
"Do you want to play a game with us?" She asked carefully. Sasuke stood and watched him, daring him to say no. Black smoke curled around his hand, and his Katana settled into it. Orochimaru gulped. He knew he was defenseless in this realm, and he wasn't about to jeperdize his life.
"Sure, Saka-Chan," he said, using the nickname he used before when he wanted something from her. She smiled angelically, but behind that mask, her true face smirked wickedly, a habit she picked up from her brothers.
"You're going to play Sasu-Nii-Chan's game first!" She chirped, and abruptly turned around. "Ita-Nii-Chan!" She cried, and Itachi picked her up and put her on his lap. Sasuke sat in the middle of the arena, a small smile tugging at his lips.
"Now," he drawled, and everyone chuckled because it was the same drawl he used as he was older, but now it sounded odd coming out of a six-year-old's mouth, "how about we play a little guessing game?" He dissappeared as mirrors appeared along the walls of the Tsukuyomi arena.
"Find me." His voice echoed, a strange mix of old and young, malic and innocence. Three kunais appeared on the ground, and Orochimaru knew he only had three chances. What he didn't know about was the mirror directly above his head. Orochimaru threw the first one at a mirror to his left, shattering it upon impact. Sakachi giggled, finding happiness in the evilest things. He then threw another northeast, shattering two in one blow. He panted, finding his movements sluggish. He froze, ready to thrown the last one. As he whipped around, it left his hand at a slower speed. But nothing could stop the kunai flying through the air towards the little dark angel. Well, if we were in the real world. The kunai froze mear inches from her face, and it shattered into dust. Or....metal sand. Gaara's eyes narrowed as he focused on whipping it towards Orochimaru. The snake saw it coming and dodged, only to find himself in an even more dangerous situation. Little Sasuke had his blade against Oro's neck, and was flying on black wings.
"This is my sister's and I's world," he said, the odd voice coming out again, "You play by our rules." He moved the blade, letting Sakachi take over. She stood there, watching Orochimaru stand off to the side, waiting for her punishment. She smiled brillaintly.
"Let's play HopScotch!" She crirped. Orochimaru nodded and drifted over to her side. The floor shook, and a HopScotch board appeared in front of them, the pieces broken apart. But on either side of it was a large chasm. Sakachi gently picked up a small rock, and hurled it forward. It flew in the air, arching high. It landed on number 74. Giggling, she began hopping from number to number. Landing on 74, she picked up the rock and proceded to the other side.
"Your turn!" Her voice trilled up an octave. Orochimaru smirked.
"But I don't have a rock," he said smartly. She smiled.
"Of course you do." And a large ass boulder appeared next to him, lava dripping off of it. He went to pick it up and as soon as he touched it, it turned extremely hot and shrunk to the size of his fist. He tossed it and as it flew, it changed back and landed in the middle, on the hardest spot to reach. Sakachi had reach it by using her wings. He hopped carefully from stone to stone and pushed off as hard as he could, landing on the middle spot. As he knelt to pick the rock up, he heard a soft, sinister voice.
"Oops." And the piece broke completely, hurtling him to the lava below. Closing his eyes, he waited for the searing hotness that would be in his mind. But it never came.
"Mou, do you think we finally killed him?" That was Sakachi.
"I wish," Sai snorted. Orochimaru opened his eyes and saw the Uchiha family in all their glory. Sakachi laughed.
"Welcome to the real game." And she kicked him in his head. He went flying back and hit the wall hard. Groaning, he rose.
"Here is your Katana. Might as well be slightly fair." Orochimaru smirked and came at her. She blocked with her Katana. Kicking his legs from under him, she flipped over to Itachi's side.
"Katon!" He barely dodged the fireball. Flicking his wrist, snake came flying out his sleaves and went towards Sai, who was painting. Snapping the parchment, the ink sheild stopped the snakes effectively, and Sai appeared next to Orochimaru and kicked him in his side. Orochimaru flew towards Sasuke, who sharply brought his blade down, cutting across Orochimaru's chest. The snake hopped back, blocking Itachi sword towards his heart, catching it in his shoulder. Ripping the Katana out, he slowly walked back, tripping over Sai's ink drawing that twisted his ankle. He slowly moved backwards, bumping into the last Uchiha. Sakachi.
"Goodnight, Orochimaru." And her Katana slipped easily into his heart.
They all sat around in the arena, watching each other and Orochimaru's dead body fade to ash. Sakachi suddenly collasped, sobbing.
"He's gone. H-h-he's really gone," she stuttered, her tears dripping down her face. Sasuke fell down next to her.
"Yes, imouto. He's gone." And with that, everyone knew life would be peaceful again.
Eightteen Years Later
"Hurry up, you guys! Or we'll be late for the barbeque!" Sakachi stood there, at the base of the stairs, tapping her foot. Soon enough, her husband came to the top of the stairs.
"Sorry," he said gently, coming down to wrap his arms around her waist. She smiled and ran her hand through his red hair.
"It's alright." She stepped on her tiptoes to kiss him.
"God, Kaa-san, if you wanted to kiss Tou-san, you shouldn't be rushing us to get in here. No one wants to see that." The two parents looked at their eldest son. His messy red hair and black eyes made him stand out in a crowd, and it was no doubt that he got his sharp attitude from his mother. Sakachi scowled at him.
"Hajime," she said, "Don't get smart with me." He looked abashed.
"Sorry Kaa-san." Two pairs of foot steps came rushing in.
"Chichi!" The two girls cheered, their long black hair swing behind them. He hugged them both.
"Maki." Her bright green eyes sparkled as she kissed him on the cheek.
"Mari." Her dark green eyes lit up as she kissed his other cheek.
"Can we go? I want to see Sakura-Oba-San!" Hiroyuki exclaimed, bouncing. His maroon hair was slightly stuck up in the back, like his uncle Sasuke's, and he was wide-eyed with excitment, like his mother. He had the short lines coming down his face, half of Itachi's, and he was a perfect balance of Uchiha and Hatake.
"Yeah!" Now the youngest child was a shock. She had long, pink hair and large brown eyes, no doubt getting them from her grandmother, Mikoto. She smiled up at her mother. "Please, Kaa-san?" Sakachi smiled softly and pulled her daughter's hair back into a loose bun.
"Sure, Yukiko. Let's go." The family of seven walked out the door and to the large Escalade sitting on the driveway. Soon they were on their way. Pulling up in front of the house that was all the way across town, they saw heard a sharp yell.
"Mana! You get down here right now! Your Oba-san and Oji-san are outside, right now!" Sakura yelled. The door flew open and a young girl with short pink hair came out.
"Sakachi-Oba-san!" She exclaimed, and hugged her aunt. Sakachi laughed.
"Mana-Chan!" Sakachi said, hugging her goddaughter. Mana stepped back, her dark gray eyes peering at her aunt. The kids got out the car and Mana attacked Maki and Mari.
"Come on! Masa is upstairs! She waiting for us!" The three girls went to go meet Mana's year-younger sister. It was the same with Maki and Mari. Mari was the older one, and Maki was a year younger. Sakachi let her children go and play while she walked into the kitchen to talk to her best friends. They talked for about an hour until the doorbell rang.
"I got it," Sakura said and went to answer the door. They heard a short conversation, and Sakura entered the kitchen again, holding six roses and a card. "Some person sent each of us a flower." She opened the card and read it, freezing. Sakachi came and read it over her shoulder, freezeing also. Sophie plucked it from her hands and read it aloud.
Hello my lovely ladies.
I am writing to tell you I'm back.
And this time, I'm taking your children with me.
Don't worry, they will be in good hands.
My hands.
And I won't let anything happen to them.
They will be perfect Warriors.
Signed,
D.
By the time she finished, she was shaking. She looked at all her friends and told them, "We have to train them." They nodded, already planning how to protect them.
Ooo, does that mean a sequel?
