I do not own Naruto no matter how much I wish I did.
Karin continued through the woods heading towards two large amounts of chakra. She had been searching for Itachi for the past hour and was beginning to lose hope when she sensed the chakra. She prayed that who she found would either be Itachi or someone who could lead her to him.
When she got to the clearing, she hid up in the trees where she would not be seen. (Hopefully.) She looked down into the clearing and found what she was looking for.
Itachi and his partner Kisame were sitting near a small campfire. She recognized Itachi from Sasuke's description and Kisame from Suigetsu's (how she hated him). She remained quiet, hoping they wouldn't notice her. She began familiarizing herself with their chakras. While she was doing this, Kisame laid down and his chakra all but disappeared. 'He must have fallen asleep' Karin thought. Itachi sat down against the closest tree and closed his eyes, but his chakra level did not go down. If it did anything it grew. Karin quickly became scared and for a good reason too. Itachi opened his eyes and looked straight at her.
Sharingan eyes met crimson ones. Itachi looked at her for a moment before standing up. Before Karin could realize what had happened, Itachi was behind her and had placed his hand over her mouth.
"Why are you here?"
Karin quickly came to her senses. When she tried to move, Itachi's grip on her tightened.
"You will stay here until you answer my questions. Why are you here?"
Karin moved her head to the side to try to get him to let go, but he refused to release her. Instead, she hid her chakra and then let it flare out again and searched for Sasuke, Jugo, and Suigetsu. She hoped he would understand.
He did.
"Ah. So you're a sensory type. Who were you searching for?"
In answer, Karin pulled out a kunai and threw it to where Itachi was sitting moments before.
"Who sent you to search for me? Konoha?" Karin frowned. She did not hate Konoha but she still found the city in distaste. "Or is it Sasuke?"
Karin smirked letting him know that he had caught her.
"So, my dear brother wishes to kill me?" Itachi released her. "Go and tell my brother that the time for us to fight has not yet come." Itachi moved and went back to where he was sitting before. He pulled the kunai out of the ground and threw it back to her. "You will need it."
Noticing Itachi was watching her, Karin got up and headed back to Sasuke.
"Kisame." Itachi's companion woke and sat up.
"What?"
"We need to go."
