Prologue:
Taken by Darkness
The darkness spread like a wildfire though the forest around the village of Konoha. Out on a high cliff overlooking the village was a tall figure dressed in a black cloak with red eyes. Beside the figure was another one holding a huge sword. The two overlooked the village and the dark mist that was gaining speed over the forest and now it was seeping into the village below them.
"Itachi, why are we still here? I don't like the looks of that mist," the one figure with the sword asked. Itachi scanned the mist with his Sharingan eyes in hoping to find the source of the power his was feeling.
"Because if someone has this much power then we should take it for our own Kisame," he replied mildly to his companion. Kisame was getting on his nerves now and if it wasn't for the fact he needed his sword he would have killed the fool long ago. His eyes moved over the mist once more in hopes of pinpointing it source yet again. But for some reason, the power he was feeling didn't seem to have a source. It unsettled him.
In the village the mist wandered past the buildings without entering any of them. The mind behind the mist it seem was searching for something. It was totally focus on its task and nothing else. The mist moved faster and it detected one of its goals and entered one of the many apartments on one of the streets. There it could be seen two eighteen year old boys were asleep close together in bed. Both were naked, but around their bodies was articles of orange and brown clothing including a huge gourd by the bedpost. The mist seem to lick at the items till they were engulfed by the darkness. Next it moved onto the two figures and took them into the darkness as well. Neither boy moved from their positions as the mist took them away.
Next the mist moved to another house which it detected another person it was after and picked up speed as it moved forward. This time it was a eighteen year old girl with pink hair that was quickly taken by the dark mist into its embrace. Then the mist continued till a man with his headband over one eye was taken as well. Then it slowly moved out of the village. The mist could feel two others that they needed to consume. They were not in the village, but up high on a cliff nearby. The silent wind rose the mist off the ground heading towards the cliff in speed that no mist should have.
Itachi saw the mist speeding to were he stood now. He had watch its process though the streets, though it showed no sign what it was after. From afar it would seem just to be spreading throughout the village just because it could. Now he thought different about the mist. It was hunting out something and now that something was him. Whatever happens, he must not the mist take him or Kisame. Though Kisame would have to be on his own. He tried even harder to penetrate the mist with his eyes and soon he could see a figure rising with the mist within its very heart. Finally an opponent he could see. He took out his katana and readied for the onslaught of a fight.
The figure seem to know he was reading himself and the mist contracted into a sort of shield about the figure. Itachi still couldn't see the figure clearly, but the outline was still there. Now a sword appeared in its right hand. He smiled as he waited for the figure to reach him. He wanted to fight and defeat this being with the strange power. Somehow the power felt familiar but he knew the one with that power died seven years ago.
Suddenly something hit his sword hard and he moved to guard his upper body. The figure's sword popped out of the mist and he could see it was made by a strange purple light. He blocked the sword again from the onslaught of attacks that was pushing him back from the cliff edge. Kisame was no where to be seen by him when Itachi took a glance to look for him for assistance. He noticed that the mist was all around him, but it had yet to touch his body. The mist must have took Kisame within its depths. Again another attack came from the figure and Itachi gave his reply with his own onslaught of attacks. He wasn't sure if he should have used any of his powers, but he decided not to in case it would have no effect. No reason to tried himself out with an ineffective attack.
He heard a high pitched laughter from inside the mist to reveal that the figure was a female. The coldness from the voice even left his own hair standing on end. The woman didn't care about him, it was only playing with him till it would devour him with her mist. Even more determine to defeat this odd female, he bought his sword up close inside the mist in hopes of hitting her. His sword seem to go right though her body and being unbalanced he headed right in behind his sword.
Soon the mist cleared as he entered the shield and gasped at the sight he saw. He knew this girl that fought him now, but it wasn't the same girl he once knew. Now her eyes were red as blood, her hair shone a raven-black from an unknown light source. She was wearing a black robe with a silver dragon symbol over her right breast. Her arms were covered with black lines going down into her hands where the mist now came fourth. She smiled at him and gave another laugh as she touched him with one of her hands. All he could see was darkness now, but that didn't change the fact of who he saw. That girl, one who he once fought over his brother with seven years ago, who died to protect his brother and everyone else. With one last thought the darkness took him into the mist. His eyes closed as he could do nothing to escape.
