Me: Hello! Well one of my friends is making a story for me about me and Deidara so I decided to be nice and make one for her and Itachi so here it goes.
Itachi: I have no say in this do I?
Me: Nope!
Itachi: sigh ah well…
Disclaimer: I don't own Naruto for the record. Only Myabye and her team are my creations thank you very much.
Author's note (an): I don't watch Naruto as much as some people so don't blame me if I don't do they're personalities very well. Sorry Also if you know the band Dream Theater the name of the story is a song that suits her and Itachi so if you like Dream Theater, listen to I Walk Beside You.
I Walk Beside You
"Will you move?!"
Myabye, whose hair was up in its black bun with loops around her ears as always, walked through the market, pushing and shoving her way to the fruit stand where her old chounin team friend, Kioshi.
"I'm sorry but MOVE!" Myabye cried while pushing people out of the way.
Finally she spotted the rainbow banner that said, "Nature's Fruit" There, behind the counter, was a blonde man, about 18 years old. He was muscular wearing a green shirt with a belt slung over his shoulder, holding a large shurikan. Khaki shorts went down to his knees.
Myabye slammed her fists on the counter of the small store. "Kioshi, you sent me the oranges didn't you? A full basket of oranges." She looked up.
Kioshi just smiled and cocked his head to the left. After a moment he asked, "Would you like to buy something?"
"One apple please"
Kioshi handed Myabye an apple and she took a large bite that made a resounding CRUNCH.
"You know Kioshi, Noma-Sensai found me yesterday. He wanted to know if I was still in contact with you."
Kioshi handed a banana to a customer and looked back at her with a sigh, "And you said…?"
Myabye laughed with the apples still in her mouth saying, "What do you think I said? I said we hadn't talked in a long time but every year on my birthday he sends me fruit baskets. But then, I wake up this morning with a fruit basket filled with nothing but oranges." She turned very serious, "Which is why I came here. What was with that?"
Kioshi silently was cutting up mangos. After a moment he said, "Just a friendly gesture. I thought we might want to see each other. I mean it has been forever since we actually talked. In fact, I think you've changed in those four years. What's wrong with oranges may I ask?"
An invisible fire seemed to erupt in Myabye. "WHAT DO YOU THINK? DON'T YOU REMEMBER?"
Customers backed away. Myabye scowled at them all and eventually there was no one at the fruit stand.
Kioshi sighed a heavy sigh. "No, and since you scared all of my customers away, you might as well tell me."
Myabye twitched. "You don't remember? After the two years we spent on a team? And thirteen years before that when we knew each other as neighbors?"
Kioshi stared at Myabye for a few moments. Then he innocently shrugged his shoulders.
Myabye exploded at him, "IM ALLERGIC TO CITRESS YOU IDIOT!"
Kioshi stood there, unfazed. "Oh, must have sent the wrong basket sorry."
Myabye slammed the apple on the counter, smashing it into hundreds of little pieces that flew onto all passersby.
She leaned into Kioshi's face. Her breath smelled of apple. "By the way, I would like to know why you haven't been active. You're selling fruit at a market! You have ninja training!"
Kioshi offered a mango to a stranger. Then he looked back and quietly said, "I don't like what happened four years ago. What happened when we were ganged up by the Akatsuki? I know you remember. I know you and him were close…" Silence hung between Myabye's hung head and Kioshi's lowered one. "I don't want something like that to happen to me, I don't want to experience that again. I know you've only done a few minor missions since then but you seem to be offered higher training and you decline. I know what's bothering you, same reason why I quit using this." He pointed to the shurikan on his back.
Silence engulfed the area in the market. Myabye continued to hang her head. "So tell me why you sent the basket. No lying, no 'It was friendliness'. Tell me."
Kioshi rubbed his head and when Myabye looked up he was blushing.
"Well I was wondering…. If you might want to…. Perhaps….go for ramen with me?"
Myabye laughed. It was a cruel laugh that made Kioshi take a step back and hang his head.
"You of all people!" She laughed, "Not only are YOU one of the people who saw what happened but you knew how Isamu and I loved each other!"
Kioshi cringed at the sound of their dead teammate. "I told you I didn't like what happened to him! It's not my fault he died!"
Silence fell over the entire market. Every person was standing and staring at the two older teens.
"I'm leaving. Don't try to contact me in any form for the rest of your natural life." With that Myabye left, her brown jacket that reached her ankles flapped in the wind, jeans and black tank underneath. Her necklace, leather with a green rock tied on, bounced against her chest. People cleared a path for her as she went through the still silent market. A single tear ran down her cheek.
In the Akatsuki Lair
"Itachi, Kisame, and Tobi. Do you understand you're mission?"
"Of course Pein, We understand. The two-tailed beast is in the Rain Village and we must capture him, not kill. Of course." Kisame said while staring at the floor.
"Tobi will be a good boy for you Pein!" Tobi cried at the top of his lungs.
Pein wiped away a sweat drop. "Now away you go, it is not far."
They walked off towards the Rain Village, taking the road parallel to the one that Myabye was walking on…. So when she heard the screams she knew what to do. She flung out her wind shurikan, ready for battle.
