Intrigue-interest somebody:to make somebody greatly interested or curious
She'd been watching him for days and still wasn't sure. What made this boy so feared? So loved? So spoke of?
At this moment he was training. Shuriken littered the ground nearby and kunai stuck out of the center of every target.
She let her shield down.
As she expected, it only took moments for him to sense her presence.
"Show yourself," he called in a voice bordering childhood and adulthood.
She jumped down from the tree nearby and smiled at him. It was dusk and her face was half shrouded in darkness.
He studied this girl, no, woman. She appeared close to 18 and was beautiful in an exotic way. She had high cheekbones and pouty pink lips. Her straight black hair was swept away from her face so that emeralds gleamed at him.
His inspection did not go unnoticed.
"It is rude to stare so long without speaking."
"As it is rude to spy on a ninja's training," he retorted.
"Very well. I merely wanted to see the great prodigy of the Uchiha clan," she smiled as she said this.
"Then speak and be on your way."
"How rude," she sighed, "I see nothing great about you. You are skilled, but no more so than others. Perhaps I've come all this way to be disappointed."
Surprise flashed across his face before he could stop it. 'She is unlike the others,' he thought.
She could feel a coldness radiating off of him, a foreshadowing of what he was to become. She knew in that second that in coming close enough to sense feelings of his future self, she had deeply involved herself in his life to come.
"I never did get your name so I won't give you mine. I must be going now," she said.
"I assumed you already knew my name."
"It is arrogant to assume so much." She flashed her calm smile at him once more.
"You are full of insults for one I've just met," he smirked when he said it. A smirk which she knew would soon become his most common facial expression.
"You have earned many insults for one so revered," she told him.
"You are an intriguing woman," he said.
"You are an intriguing 12 year old," she replied before turning and walking away.
We shall meet again, Uchiha Itachi, when your eyes are colder. Perhaps then I can teach you to be more deserving of your title.
End for now...
