"Uchiha Itachi is the detective in charge in taking us down now. What should we do, Ane-san?"

You're biting your nails while speeding up to Roppongi. You didn't know that Itachi is back! After hearing that he's back, you have this mixed feelings, there's a bit excitement, nervous, shocked, it's a mixed feelings for sure.

You finally reached your parking lot at your luxury apartment. Not thinking much anymore, you quickly get out of your car and rushed to the elevator.

You're panicking about Itachi now. When did he come back? Is it possible that Makoto might mistaken Itachi with someone else? Why he didn't tell you that he's back?

There's so much for your mind to process and the stress that you just received from your father making things more difficult now.

You sighed. "I need to take a hot shower and have a good night sleep first. I'll let the tomorrow me handle these things then..." You said to ease yourself.

After stepping out of the elevator, you went straight to your apartment but before scanning your key card, you noticed that small damage at the door.  You knew that very well that someone might tried to pry into your apartment before you arrive but the security in this apartment is on the top tier in Japan. No wonder they can't open it but now...the real question is, does he really give up?

With your ability in fighting, you instinctively move away from the door and look behind you while your left hand is ready to pull out your handgun. You look around but it seems like there's no living being except you there.

You sighed helplessly and muttered, "I'm overthinking things", before continue to open the door.

Before unlocking the door, you heard footsteps behind you and quickly turn around.

"I heard from my father that Itachi already arrived in Japan. Where is my brother?"

You look at the younger one and sneered. "How would I know? He's your brother, not mine."

Sasuke rolled his eyes and then his sight fell at the small damage at your door. He smirked, "You left your key or something?"

"Life is not that easy for sure..." You smirked back at him.

He understands the hidden meaning beneath your words. He stood still behind you while you went back to unlock the door.

After the clicking sound was heard, Sasuke swiftly caught the fist behind him and hurled the man who hid his face under a mask to the front and finished him with a loud slam on the white floor. "Weird."

"What?" You asked him, confused.

"Who would be so bold to send only one person to ambush y- Be careful!" Sasuke pushed you while he quickly lay down as well.

So close. Very close enough! You saw it at the corner of your eyes the bullet scratch Sasuke's face. Luckily he noticed it! He really have good eyes despite the darkness outside the building.

You look up at the small window near your door. "You're right, Sasuke. No one is so stupid to do that." A sniper, no. A professional sniper for sure. He might be at the building next to your apartment right now and the way he's aiming your head just now... Things are no longer a joke.

Then, you heard footsteps with the sound of someone clapping his hands while chuckling with sarcasm. Slowly, you see the man approach the two of you starting from his leather shoes, grey suit, green tie and lastly, that round spectacles. This grey head is no other than Kabuto!

"Hatake-san... Long time no see..."

You clench your fist, still not standing up as a precaution step.
Sasuke remain calm there, squatting not far from Kabuto.

"It's been years now but Hatake-san... Your beauty still can be compared to the moon goddess, Tsukuyomi..." Kabuto said, leaning against the wall while crossing his arms.

"I know." You sneered.

Sasuke snorted at your confidence.

"Hhmmm...as you know, I would never harm a beauty like you-"

"Yeah, you just want to turn me into a sleeping beauty. How lovely."

From the corner of your eye, you can tell very clearly that Sasuke is trying hard to hold his laugh under that cool expression. Well, it's not like you never hang out with him before.

"Owh...then, I'll be your prince charming to give you a good morning kiss. Am I right?" He's still not finished.

You smirked, crossing your arms. "Of course, Frog Prince."

"You have a nice humor, Hatake-san."

"No, I don't. It's just that you're the whole joke."

"Hn." Sasuke still trying to keep his composure.

"You-" Kabuto is about to point his gun at you before you take it out first, aiming at his head.

"Want do you want?" You asked, placing your middle finger at the trigger after pulling the safety lock with your thumb. You pull Sasuke to get behind you while the both of you still crouching to avoid the window. The sniper might still be there.

Kabuto just see how you're trying to protect Sasuke and clicked his tongue. "Why do you want to keep this brat safe? If you want money, I can give them to-"

"Do you still see me like I'm short on money? You can't even break into my apartment, remember?

Kabuto clicked his tongue again. "Fine. What I want is take you to see Madara."

"What for?"

"He wants to see you."

"I don't want to."

"He's taken a liking to you..."

Your face twitched in disgust. "Eeww."

"Fuck...just follow me!" Kabuto seems so done with you now.

"Fuck it! I don't want to!"

"Then I'll kill your father!"

"Don't you dare!" You shouted at him and quickly springs up, standing and threatening him with your gun.

"Hatake!" Sasuke called you.

"Shut up, Uchiha!"

"But-"

Before Sasuke could warn you further, you felt a sharp pain at your arm making it goes limp and the gun in your grip fall to the floor. You clearly forgot about the sniper!

Kabuto smirk and points his gun at your knee bit Sasuke noticed it. The Uchiha quickly jump over at Kabuto to prevent him from shooting you.

A sharp pain shot from your arm while blood trickling down, staining the snow white floor. But you quickly adapt to it and about to assist Sasuke but noticed how Sasuke's back is now soaked with red stain before he slowly went limp and roll to the floor.

Panicked, you hurled towards Sasuke and check his pulse. He's still alive!

However, before you could do anything, your ears ring loud enough, your head feels so dizzy and heavy while your vision slowly turning blank.

A thump was heard as you lie down next to Sasuke with the back of your head bleeding from the impact.

Kabuto sighed while holding the gun which is now trickling with blood. "Tch."
