If you like this story, please review and tell me to continue it, or else I won't.
Enjoy! ^^
"Is there something you wish to tell me?" I asked rather coldly to my village elders. They all just looked at one another before saying anything. I crossed my arms and sneered at them. They were the ones who summoned me here, so why are they stalling for time. These elders never know anything nowadays.
"Mika, we heard about how you stole the forbidden scrolls from right under our noses." The main elder said. So they found that out, huh?
"Do you admit your crime?" Another elder asked. I looked at each elder. They were all tense, like something was coming. I swallowed my own spit and I could feel the tension in the air getting heavier and heavier. I took a step to the side and they all leaned forward.
"You know, there are many ninja who thirst for power after such a traumatic experience as a child…" I started, my eyes going to a distant land. Then I returned and gave them a half-smile. "I've experienced that. I did steal the scrolls."
Suddenly I heard a noise behind me. I smirked. How predictable. When shurikans were thrown at me from behind, I dodged. They had top class ninja hiding behind the door for when I admit. I spun around and saw six Jounin level ninja filing into the room.
"It's such a shame, Mika." The head elder shook his head. "You were a great Jounin to our village."
"Like hell I was, everyone here looked down on me." I hissed, making a fist. I attempted to walk towards them, but as soon as I took a step, all the Jounin surrounding me took our their weapons.
"I wouldn't necessarily say everyone."
I flinched when I heard that voice. I looked back at the door again and saw blonde hair with green eyes walking in. Taiki.
"Mika…" Taiki whispered, looking around unsure of what to do. So, they recruited him as well.
"Kill her." Elder said. All the Jounin jumped towards me and I quickly moved my hands.
"Manipulated Shuriken Technique!" I rushed out. Shurikans came out of my weapons bag and spun around the room on invisible wires controlled by me. I moved my fingers around so they can hit all these Jounin. They kept coming closer and closer.
I smirked when my shurikans made contact, if it was just a scratch or a deep wound, on each and every ninja. I clenched my fist, making sure I got a large amount of the strings before making my hand signs.
"Lightning Style, Electromagnetic Murder!" I said. Everybody in the room flinched before the electricity traveled through my hands, onto the strings, and making contact with everybody the shurikans and wires touched. All the Jounin fell to the ground. "Not so hard." I smirked, retracting my wires. "Now, about the crime I committed?" I asked, walking towards the village elders. "I'm taking more scrolls with me." At first I saw the elders were scared, but suddenly they turned confident. I quickly spun around and took out a kunai and thrust it up. It made contact with another kunai just inches away from me. "Taiki…" I muttered, seeing him trying to stab me with his kunai.
"I trusted you, Mika! I always fought the village elders when they accused you of doing such things!" Taiki, trying to hold back his tears. I just smirked, while I brought her hand up to his cheek, making him shiver.
"You were always sweet to me, Taiki." I sighed, before blinking and sending a wave of lightning into his head. I used my electromagnetic murder technique, the jutsu I'm famous for.
Taiki slumped over on me from being knocked out. I had killed all the other ninjas, but simply knocked Taiki out; I have to admit, I have a soft spot for the boy. I laid him gently on the floor before turning back to the village elders.
"Any questions?" I sneered down at them. They all looked terrified. I nodded my approval before spinning around and stepping over Taiki. I feel bad for betraying him. I don't regret betraying the Moon village, only Taiki, he always helped me with everything as we grew up together; maybe we were friends, who knows. I started running down the halls to the storage room and swiped as much scrolls and I could. I'm sure the elders are probably warning the village of this right now. It doesn't take long for word to get out.
After I grabbed about eight scrolls, I heard footsteps coming closer and closer. "Damn! I didn't grab all of them yet…" I might as well retreat now, I guess, at least I grabbed the forbidden scrolls. I shattered the window before jumping out and onto the nearest rooftop. I looked over to where my house used to be and saw ninja already investigating it. I sighed before making a face. They're invading my personal area. Oh well, it's the last time I'll see that house.
I kept jumping from rooftop to rooftop as I neared the outskirts of town. This is the last time I'll ever see the Moon village.
"Fire Style, Grand Fireball Jutsu!"
I flinched, hearing the voice near me. I spun around in a mere split second and saw six Jounin following me. That was fast. I quickly jumped into the air to dodge the attack, only for it to follow me. Now that's advanced. "I'm impressed." I nodded, putting my hands in front of me and concentrating. "Lightning Release," I felt the power surge into my hands as a lightning ball appeared in my hands. "Rod Fury!" I yelled, the balls disappearing as I closed my eyes. I felt the heat of the fireball jutsu near me. I have to make this quick. I concentrated on my enemy… I quickly opened my eyes and clapped my hands together. The man who was leading the pack suddenly started glowing as the lighting ball appeared inside of him. I grinned, feeling the heat die down. The man fell over, dead.
"What the-?" All the other men exclaimed, seeing their leader fall. I put my hands together again. Now that I got the hang of it, it seems pretty simple. "Lightning Release, Rod Fury!" I yelled again. They all took a step back as the ball appeared in my hands again. This time, I made five appear in my hands. One for each of the men.
"Mika, why are you doing this?" one of the men asking, taking a step forwards while all others retreated. I looked up at him, losing concentration. It wasn't a man, but a boy, my age, 15. I froze when I recognized him. He was one of the boys in my fan club here. "Did we do something to anger you?"
"No; it's nothing like that." I said, releasing my jutsu and bringing my hand up to cover half my face. My eyes were two different colors. My right was a bright, dark blue, whereas the left is a deep turquoise, which I guess earned me my fan club. "I just want more power."
"But why? You haven't had a bad past or anything like that!" He asked. I averted my eyes as I took down my hand. "Wait… your parents…" I put my hands together again.
"That's right." I nodded. "Lightning Release, Rod Fury." I whispered, quickly moving the lightning ball into him. He soon fell over and I turned away. "My parents." I muttered, leaving the village.
.:One Month Later:.
I yawned as I got up from the haystack. I looked around, but no one was here. Oh well, I guess I better get going…
A month ago, I left my village: the village hidden under the moon, but I haven't made any progress, I just know I'm near the earth village, somewhere.
"Oh, you're awake already, ma'am?" the farmer asked. I jumped when I heard his voice. I turned towards him and waved.
"Ah, yes. It's early, but I best be on my way if I want to get to the nearest village by sunset." I smiled. The farmer nodded.
"Well, if you're ever around again, you're welcome here anytime."
"Thank you, sir." I replied, before waving and taking off.
.:2 Hours Later:.
I kept walking and walking. I guess I was in the middle of no where. Oh, geez, what if I'm lost? Aw, man, I was never good with directions. Suddenly, everything felt like it went still as I saw a shadow in the distance. "What the?" I squinted, trying to see who it was. It looked like the person was wearing a black and red cloak with a dome hat thingy on their head. I tried to hole back a laugh at the foreigner traveler. The traveler neared my as I just tried to pass whoever it was.
"Excuse me?" The traveler sounded like a man. I flinched when he talked to me. I took a step back and quickly reached for my kunai knives, just in case.
"Uh, yes?" I questioned, on guard. He reached up for his hat with a ring on his finger and dark purple nail polish. This couldn't be a guy, could it? But the ring… and the nail polish.
"Are you Mika?" the man asked. I took out my kunai and thrust it for his head, but in the blink of an eye, his hat came off and he was holding my arm, making my attack useless. "My name is Itachi Uchiha." He said, making eye contact with me. I flinched, seeing his red eyes.
"Uchiha?" I repeated, remembering their name. I thought they were all killed, though. I guess not, because those eyes were the symbol of them. "What do you want with me?" I asked, putting more pressure on my hand with the kunai. He did the same to try and hold me back.
"I'm apart of an organization called the Akatsuki." Itachi went on. I glared at him; I've heard of them before. They're rogue, missing ninja who are extremely dangerous. What's an Uchiha doing in a group like that? "We heard about your incident." My glare turned deadly as he went on. We just held a long gaze for awhile. "We want you to join us." I relaxed my arm and cocked my head to the side. I wasn't expecting that! "A member just now left, so we have exactly one opening open."
"Is this a joke? The Akatsuki are extremely dangerous, so why ask me?" I asked, utterly confused. Itachi just stood there, making no facial expressions.
"We were impressed about your incident."
"It's not really an incident, I just took scrolls and ran." I shrugged.
"Your jutsus are S-rank."
"Only 1 is."
"Why don't you just join."
"I feel like I don't deserve to."
"Mika…" Itachi sighed, clearly not planning for me to put up this much of a fight about it. I smirked and crossed my arms, pleased with myself. "We're asking you to join the Akatsuki."
"I'll think about it." I waved off, walking past Itachi and onward with the trail.
"It's not something to be debated over. Either you join, or we'll kill you." Itachi put it simply. I stopped and turned back to him. I don't like the way he's threatening me. "How about a deal, then?"
"A deal?" I repeated, interested in the way it sounds. Itachi nodded before unzipping his Akatsuki jacket and revealed the upper part of his body. I blushed, wanting to punch him. Did he think I would jump aboard the Akatsuki train just because he unzipped his jacket? Please, I'm not fooled by his good looks.
"We're do anything you wish, and if I win, you join, but if you win, we'll leave you alone." Itachi bargained. I rolled my eyes as I crossed my arms.
"That's a pretty lame thing for me to win." I complained. "How about, if I win, you give me that jacket and tell me how inferior guys are to girls." I offered smugly. I noticed Itachi recoil a tiny bit.
"I take it you aren't a big fan of guys?" Itachi guessed. I smirked and eyed his jacket.
"Guys are selfish and perverted; and about your jacket, I just want to because I'm cold here, but don't worry, I'll turn it inside out, mmkay?" I shrugged like it was nothing. Itachi closed his eyes for a moment, probably to think it over.
"Fine, it's a deal." Itachi finally said. I grinned wider and I brought my finger up to my chin. "What's the game? Or we could fight if you prefer." I waved my hand in the air.
"I always sparred with guys from my village, it turns out guys are weak to me." I yawned. "You're a guy, too after all; I don't want to waste my chakra. Oh! How about a game of rock-paper-scissors?" Itachi just starred at me. His facial expression never changes, does it?"
"Rock-paper-scissors?" He concluded, having a tone like I was weird or something. I nodded and made a fist. He just kept starring.
"Do you not know how to play or something?" I asked, thinking he was an idiot. He shook his head slowly before putting his hands up. I put my hands up as we started. I also beat everyone at this game too, whenever I was bored, though it wasn't much of a consolation. After three quick counts, we both put our hands down and I grinned as I saw my rock. I looked at his hand and froze. He had paper. "Uh, best out of three." I offered. He nodded as we readied our hands again. One, two, three! I blinked down at my scissors and his rock. "I meant best out of five!" We did it again. Me: Rock, Him: Paper. "How about best out of seven!" We tried again and I lost. "Best out of nine!" Lost again.
"Mika, it seems like I win." Itachi muttered.
"It's not over yet!" I snapped at him. "Out of eleven!" I tried my hardest and ended up with paper and he got scissors. I froze. There is no way he was able to beat me six times in a row. I glared at him and he just had that same blank face on.
"Shall we go to the Akatsuki hideout?" Itachi asked, giving me some time to mourn. "Or are you not going to keep your word?" I flinched and aimed for his face as I thrust my fist forward. He dodged and came closer to me. I blushed, seeing him nearly a few inches away from my face. His red eyes captured me and I froze. I felt like I couldn't move. He backed up from me and looked around the empty road.
"I…" I started. He looked at me. "I don't go back on my word." I murmured. "I'm not a liar like you males are!" I yelled, breaking his spell and pushing him away. I spun around and crossed my arms again. "Let's get going then!" I hissed, talking long strides ahead of him down the path. I can't believe I'm joining the top secret organization, the Akatsuki, over six losses of rock-paper-scissors. I pouted as I looked up at the sky. It was a cloudless day and it was simply beautiful. I couldn't help but smile. So this is how I joined the Akatsuki, huh?
