I took a a glance at the corpse, if you could call it that, lying there in the cave when I felt another presence. "FUCK!" I grabbed my head, a vision coming in from my Sumiregan; A eye type that shows the future occasionally and gives the ability to read minds.
I stood looking at the wreckage I had caused, tons of shinobi on their knees taking their dying breath. "You've done well." Someone who my vision identified as Tobi said. "Thank you, Tobi-sama." I glanced up at him from my kneeling position. "I'd like you too get rid of Naruto, he's in my way." Tobi removed his mask. "I'll do my best." I stood up and walked off towards the last place he'd been spotted.
"Hey Deidara-senpai!" The one in my vision called. "What's with that voice... and senpai?" The man in my flashback didn't seem the type to give honourifics. "Just who are you?" The sudden change in voice and attitude scared me.
"Shouko Kirizaki." I answered. "A Sumiregan user? I can't let you leave this cave." Tobi glared. I remember him from my nightmares... that deep voice and hatred. "I'm a Sumiregan user, if you touch me I'll alert everyone to your location and information." I said trying to keep my cool.
"You're bluffing. But you seem useful. That headband must mean you're from Konoha, so you know Naruto." He said authoritatively. Naruto. "He's my freind." I looked him over. "He is? How interesting." He said then walked away.
Afterwards. Much later in a forest when Team 3 is on a mission.
I skipped happily, catching the flower petals flowing in the wind. Even the emotionless Laynaki was smelling the roses. "We're on a mission remember?" Tsena said, slicing the flowers that were blowing in the breeze in half with his sword. ,
"Fine." I sighed and stood up. I began aimlessly walking around, looking for a scroll. I came upon a bush, two heads were peeking up from it.
"Hello?" I peeked over the bush, after extending my head too far my body curled forward and rolled over the push onto the ground until it may flat. Wasn't I supposed to be known for my agility...?
I achingly sat up then turned to face two Akatsuki members. "I..tachi Uchiha! Sasuke's brother!" I said crawling closer to him. "You know who we are yet you foolishly choose to come closer." Itachi spoke, his words meaning alot that I couldn't quite grasp. He obviously chose each word especially for that sentence, each having a meaning a thousand times larger than the basic sentence they were strung together into.
"You... do you know where Sasuke is?" I asked, my eyes big and glistening in curiosity. My knee length blue hair was in a ponytail, curling and pooling beside my bent knees. The Uchiha was unphased, those eyes stared into. hers with not as much confidence as firmness. As if he knew what his goal in life was and exactly how to get to it. I hated the man more than anything, he was why Sasuke left.
"Do we kill her, Itachi?" Kisame stroked Samehada tenderly. "No." Itachi said simply. "She's of no threat." He didn't stop his stare, he appeared so emotionless...So empty. "I could be if I wanted to." I pouted at the insult, putting up a act and hiding a intense hatred. I was only so free on the outside, inside, my brain was running through countless jutsu's and the warnings to never fight Itachi alone.
"Running recklessly into situations you can't handle, you remind me..." Itachi left of there, a sad look sweeping through his emotionless face then leaving just as fast. I activated my Sumiregan and my blue eyes became the night sky, filled with stars and galaxies- with midnight blues mixed in with purples. These formations of stars and galaxies formed together and broke apart in a infinite loop of beauty and chaos.
Kisame immediately stood up, baring Samehada in a defense position. Itachi stood as well beside him, though not bothering for any defense tactics. I slowly rose, looking at Itachi. I saw his emotions, I stepped back- there were so many. For someone emotionless his emotions were so vivid. His body was coated in happy blues as well as sad blues, mixed in were angry reds and regretful greens. I couldn't help but assume the cold emotionless man was faking it.
I next went to his thoughts, he had a strong will- extremely strong. He soon became the only person I knew besides Naruto who's thoughts I couldn't read. I turned to Kisame, his thoughts were evident- 'That girl, what's she up to?' I stopped llistening to his thoughts and turned to Itachi. I walked forward and extended my arms, hugging him. His emotions then rampaged, swirling and changing.
"What- are you doing?" He asked, his emotionless voice having a burst of surprise and confusion. "You needed a hug." I answered plainly, it was the truth. After that I could hear Itachi's thoughts, 'Who... how did...Sasuke...Why is she...' they were only fragments but it proved I'd shook him. As much as I hated him for what he did I was always a emotional person, I felt his pain clearly and couldn't ignore it.
When I let go Kisame had placed his sword on the ground.I looked up at him, my arms loosely around him. "Try not to get a boner." I then winked at him. Itachi's cheeks gained a light tint of pink at my flirting. I could never help flirting, it was a part of me.
"If she can do that she'd be of use to the Akatsuki, dont'cha think Itachi?" Kisame suggested. I immediately jumped backwards. "I suppose." Itachi's emotionless act returned. "We're taking you back with us." Kisame picked up Samehada. "Otherworldly Heavens: Psychic interruption!" I weaved a few hand signals and Kisame held his head- dropping to one knee.
A kunai flew at my and I sprung my feet from the floor, flinging my body over it into a flip then landing in front of where Itachi was. Before I could react a ball of fire came barreling at me from behind. "Ice barrier!" I put my hand out and formed a wall of ice in front of my then jumped into a tree. I watched as the fire burst through my ice, burning the bush the two Akatsuki were formerly leaning on.
Samehada was swung at me and I fell off the tree. I did a series of flips in the air, obviously to both of the Akatsuki's surprise. The trick was I used water to push me into various flips and I used my agility the rest of the way. "Shouko of the psychic waterfall?" Kisame identified me as the name I was renowned by.
I'd earned the name by becoming so adept with my Sumiregan. My skirt fell to the ground seconds after I'd landed, the black material resting on the grass and my slit revealing my left leg and the small patch of fishnet on my thigh. My shoes went up to my knee and revealed my toes, a style I'd taken from Sakura Haruno.
My shirt had the collar of a closed Akatsuki jacket, hiding my chin. The shirt stopped under my breasts but didn't touch the stomach there. The sleeves were long and big, hiding my hands. The insides of my sleeves were coated with pockets with Shuriken in them as well as other necessary things.
"In the flesh." I gave him a peace sign and a wink. "So carefree, are you that cocky?" Kisame created a mini-sea of wateranthe giant wave turning into a shark and barreling towards me, I dodged it by ducking and Itachi's foot came from behind and tripped me. The two both went to their knees and loomed over me.
"How did you make that much water?" I huffed. "What?" Kisame asked, obviously caught off guard. "Could you train me how?" I asked, still panting. "Yeah." Kisame's perma smirk broke into a smile.
After that for hours Kisame tried to show me how to use my chakra to make a ton of water, instead of learning that I ended up picking up on how to make a shark with water. Itachi silently watched the entire time, not making a sound.
"Crap they'll start looking for me!" I fretted once I noticed the time, "I have to go, bye Kisame sensei!" I pushed up on my feet to kiss the man on the jaw. "Where will you guys be tomorrow?" I asked. "We'll find you." Itachi stood, walking off. Kisame followed after him.
I raced back to Konoha, never finding that scroll or my team mates. At the gate a crowd was gathered, Tenten turned to see me. "Shouko!" My best freind hugged me. "We were about to send a team out to find you!" Hinata, another very close friend said. Tentens arms were replaced with Kakashi's strong warm ones. Yuuki Hyuga was my true sensei but I always regarded Kakashi as my real sensei.
"Don't scare us like that." He murmured, I admired Kakashi- He was my idol. As a child back in my school days with Naruto and the others I thought I loved him. That was untill I discovered my one true love, Gaara.
Flashback
I hid behind a building, watching the redhead walk. He had this angry face, but I wasn't scared at all. My sumiregan was activated, I could see his emotions clearly. "You." the redhead said, stopping midway up the path. I was usually so flirty and confident but seeing him had made me shy. "Y-yes?" I stepped out, walking towards the man. "Why were you staring at me?" He asked, sand floating around him. "I think you're interesting." I said, . "Aren't you scared of me?" He crossed his arms.
"You're not scary, just a little misunderstood that's all." I giggled. Gaara and his teammates were obviously shocked at the statement. "Hey! Shouko-san!" Naruto walked down the path then patted me on the back, sending me into Gaara. Our lips connected and I sent a stream of water to Gaara's stomach to push him away the same time he sent sand to mine. We both flew backwards, landing on our arse's.
It was that moment, I fell in love with Gaara and I didn't even know his name.
End of Flashback
"I guess we'd better tell Gaara that we found her and he can stay in the sand. If he was actually coming." Naruto scratched his head. "Idiot!" Sakura punched Naruto in the head. Pretty much everyone knew my feelings for Gaara except Gaara and Naruto.
Once Kakashi let me go I saw Kiba and Shikamaru looking at me with such relieved expressions. They both had a thing for me, it wasn't as if they'd confessed but it was apparent. "We got some Intel Itachi Uchiha of the Akatsuki has the scroll." Laynaki appeared not to care about me, unlike Itachi I knew Laynaki didn't show emotions because she was scared of getting hurt.
"I missed you two." Tsena walked straight up to me and jiggled my boobs that were only slightly smaller than Hinata's. "Dumbass." Laynaki pulled a giant pair of scissors from behind her back, with two fingers loosely holding one of the handles she swung at Tsena. Tsena grabbed his head, Laynaki always hit him with the flat side instead of the sharp side.
"Itachi? I would of gotten the scroll if I guessed he had it." I scratched my head. "You were fighting Itachi!?" Yuuki ran to me, the man was always sickly. He spent a ton of his time in the hospital for a incurable disease. Tsena was closest to him since they both used swords and Yuuki could train him better.
"I had to find Sasuke." I clenched my fist, it was my original reason. The crowd got quiet, thinking of him. "That was reckless and-" Kakashi narrowed his eyes. "Good job." Naruto cut Kakashi off, coming closer to me. "Did you find anything out?" He asked.
"I'm sorry." I looked away, my eyes downcast. "How did you survive?" Sakura asked slowly. "He's a man, Akatsuki or not." I smirked. "You seduced Uchiha Itachi!?" Sakura gasped. "Not really, but that would of been hilarious right?" I laughed. "Then how..." Sakura trailed off. "It's fine, don't worry about it." I laughed again. "What did you do?" Kakashi had a grave face, I was the closest to him and he could read me like a book.
"I didn't mention Naruto, I thought you'd have more faith in me than that." I glared at Kakashi, walking off. Though... do I even have the right to say that? "Stop." The Hokage blocked my path. "She's not a criminal!" Kiba stood up for me. "You did something Shouko. I know you too well. I also know Akatsuki work in pairs." Kakashi said.
"S-shit!" I gripped my head and fell to the ground, a vision coming.
Itachi smiled at me, running a hand through my hair. "Whatever you do, don't trust Madara." He told me. "Madara? Isn't he dead?" I asked. "No, Tobi is Madara." Itachi kissed my forehead. "Impossible!" I was completely shocked. "Trust me." He said softly. "I do." I hugged him. "I will fight Sasuke soon and die by his hand, you need to forget about me and return to Konoha." His smile was sad, as a silent tear fell down his cheek.
When I came back to reality I was crying. Everyone was huddled around me, worried. Everyone in Konoha knew about my visions- Naruto always hoped I'd see something about Sasuke. Once my mind finally set on reality I broke out in the biggest smile. "Sasuke..." I said, bound with happiness. "I think he'll return to Konoha!" I announced, Naruto hugged me and Sakura burst out in tears.
"Why do you think so?" Tsunade asked. "I think he'll defeat his brother. If he does that there's no reason for him not to return to Konoha." I said. I usually wasn't supposed to announce visions to anyone except the Hokage incase it changed the future but I felt this time was special. "You saw them fighting?" Tsunade asked. "No, I-" I cut myself off. I had already predicted Sasuke's return to Konoha once, it was too much for me to handle back then. I was admitted to the hospital and almost went crazy. It was really blurry, but I knew a serious sacrifice had to be made for his return. That vision I'd told nobody.
"Shouko, if you know something else..." Naruto looked heartbroken. "Don't push her." Shikamaru warned him. "Naruto come here." I said and Naruto got in close. I whispered in his ear, "I will get Sasuke back- I don't care what my cost is."
He nodded with a serious face then stood up, "She's fine, let her go." Naruto said. "What did you say to him?" Tsunade asked. "What needed to be said." I stood and began walking away. That night I laid in my bed, I had that nightmare about Tobi again. It always scared me. That dream. That nightmare. Him.
