This is my side story while I work on my books and the stories on here. It was an idea that turned out to be great. I have 26 pages typed up already with this story, roughly 16,800 words so I hope you all enjoy it. I have gotten really deep into it and might actually finish it within the next day so keep looking for new chapters; I will be uploading them quickly.

Retribution

Chapter 1

He wasn't sure how but he was alive and he couldn't figure out where he was. Everything was foreign to him and after being in this place for a week he couldn't find a single trace of any hidden villages, ninjas or chakra. The trees were not nearly as wide compared to his where he is from, this place had demons and more spiritual beings with actual power.

Power is what led him to where he is now. A few days ago he could sense power coming from over here and with his sharingan eyes he was able to find the area easier. That was another thing, his eyes were healed fully and he unlocked Eternal Mangekyou. He had come to the source of power and all he found was a dried up well. He remained in the area, not wanting to stray from it in case he could spot the user of it and discover what the power actually is.

The last time he was conscious had been when he was revived through the reanimation jutsu and last he had seen was his brother Sasuke's face as he informed him he would love his sibling eternally. Now he is nowhere close to his sibling, lost in a foreign land with no clue as to how he is alive again and why. He had studied the well and a nearby tree that seemed unusual, the only other thing that could be of any interest was a nearby village.

The path leading to it had obviously been used but not as much as other roads leading to the village. For now he would rest in a tree and bide his time since he had nothing better to do. He wondered though about his home, his village. How did the war go, was everyone okay, and who was going to be the next Hokage. Thoughts like that spiraled through his mind with no answers but he had little else to think about.

A couple days had gone by in a similar fashion and suddenly the well powered up but no one was there. He watched from the shadows as the blue light went away and noises could be heard coming from the well. Then a black bag was tossed out followed by a hand gripping the top of it before a young woman pulled herself on to the ledge.

She had waist length black hair, grey eyes, and lightly tanned skin. She wore black sweatpants, blue and black shoes, and a dark blue tank top. The only other thing he spotted was a necklace with a single fang on it resting at the start of her cleavage. What struck him as odd was her clothing was more like where he is from, not this place, and she had the powers of a priestess yet she didn't dress like one. She was in fact more powerful than any other beings with power that he had sensed.

Overall she was attractive, possibly the prettiest woman he has seen but he might be being bias since he prefers the look of the Uchiha. He certainly hoped this might be his opportunity to get some answers. He watched as she picked up her bag and enjoyed the light breeze for a few seconds before heading down the path leading to the village. Before she got much further he decided to make his presence known.

Kagome had just arrived to the Feudal Era after spending several days in her time to help out at the shrine. Life had been quite laid back with Naraku dead and school finished. It was hardly like her days of fighting demons, taking tests, and dodging dates. Well she still did that but not nearly as much. She began her trek to the village after enjoying the light breeze that went through the clearing. Feeling satisfied she continued on wondering what the others have been up to.

Suddenly she heard the yell, "Hiraikotsu!" She ducked in time to miss the large boomerang and then flipped in the air while tossing her bag. Landing on her feet she defended herself from a blow and went through a series of blocks before finally going on the offense and delivering her own attacks. The arm dagger came out of her opponents wrist guard and she ducked the strike while pulling out her own dagger and coming back up and going on the defense once more and then suddenly having her feet swept out from under her. She was quickly pinned to the ground with the dagger at her throat.

"Sango, I thought we greeted each other with smiles and laughter, not dodging and striking," she commented from her pinned form. Finally her friend let up and she could hear the laughter from behind her mask.

Sango finally put her weapon away and took the mask off, offering her best friend assistance in getting up. "Had to make sure you hadn't been lazy while you were away."

She snorted, "Oh yeah, I'm sure that's not the real reason. So what are you doing out here?"

"I was getting some training in while Miroku and InuYasha took care of the kids. Oh and we received word that Shippo would be back soon. He is doing well on his tests and made a lot of new friends it said in his letter. Nothing else has happened while you were gone." Sango took out a cloth and patted her forehead and under her hair from the sweat that had begun to form. She had her figure back but was still trying to get stronger since problems did still arise.

"Are you going to join me on my way back to the village or would you want to join me later in the hot springs?" Kagome scooped up her bag once more and turned towards her friend, taking note that she must have just started judging by her appearance.

"I think I will join you later. I really need a break so I plan to stay out here for a while yet," she smiled, happy to be away from the dusty village and in the forest for a while.

"Okay," Kagome smiled, "I will make supper for all of us tonight so take as much time as you need. I will pop in and check on the guys before I start. See you later!" She waved and turned back to the path. They both headed their own separate ways and were soon out of site from each other. She was humming along, enjoying the day when she heard a couple footsteps and immediately turned to see who was there.

Itachi paused in his decision to make himself known when he sensed the large object headed straight at the woman. Part of him wanted to deflect the attack since this person might be of great value to him. After watching the attacker and the woman he came to the conclusion it was just a spar since he noted the attacker, who was obviously female, could have used much deadlier force as he eyed the other weapons and poisons.

Figuring he should wait a while longer he remained hidden in the trees until he could finally get his chance to speak with this woman that was using the power of the well. It had to be a portal of some sort. Finally dropping out of the tree and making steps towards the tree line he watched the priestess turn with a tensed body to see who was there.

Putting his hands up to show he meant no harm Itachi stepped out from the cover of the trees and into plain view. "I am Itachi Uchiha, I am hoping you will spare a few minutes and talk with me, I guess you could say I am lost."
