I now truthfully consent that this is my first fan fiction ever! So pretty please people, don't go to harsh on me, ok?
Chapter 1: Well hello prison!
Slowly I opened my eyelids. Today they seemed especially heavy. The air was too warm, my breaths sounding more like gasps. I am such a winter girl. Suddenly a ball of light appeared. It came closer…and closer…and then it turned out to be a flashlight. A curious face of a guy my age, dressed in a sucky swamp colored uniform stared back at me. "I am sorry to interrupt and all, but what the hell are you guys doing?" the dude inquired blushing tomato red. I am pretty and all but not to THAT extent! My female intuition becoming more alarmed by a second I slowly looked around still not seeing anything out of particular. A grunt sounded somewhere under me. That's when I understood the guard. It seemed, I was kind of lying on a man with raven black hair and red eyes in which I was starting to slowly loose myself in… Oh gees I better start from the beginning.
It was an eerily sunny summer day. Already the thought of me being kidnapped, nearly eaten and locked up in a hole they dare to call the Best Prison of the Year on this particular day makes me fume. Right I still didn't introduce myself. Well here I come. My name is Katherine, I am your typical Russian girl who does NOT involve herself with mafia and has a dad who got a job in Germany and took her along. I'm rather tall and curvy but that's not what makes me- well me. That's my hair´s job. I seriously do not know why in a family with people being either blondes or brunettes a red haired was born but that is what happened. My hair isn't even red. Or orange. It is this weird mixture of ginger and light brown. Plus it reaches right up to my bum and here you go with the nickname mermaid or even (shudder) Rapunzel. My two best friends who were along with me and still are (unfortunately for them) now were no other than Malika- miniature blue eyed blond with glossy, curly hair, full lips and way too many ex boyfriends to count and Luisa tall, thin and nearly transparent due to her shyness brunette with way too little ex boyfriends to even worth being mentioned. It was the first day of the 3 month holidays and we finally came together to get out and "chill". For the past half an hour though we have been chilling on the street as it turns out Germany had to pick this particular day as some celebration and everything was closed. Literally everything. Even the library where Luisa with some hidden strength dragged us to was locked up. A heated argument ensued what to do because we perfectly knew that after getting rid of us for this evening our parents will not be overexcited to see us again so soon. If only for this once have we payed attention to our surroundings! You must admit that a library is not the exact place where you would expect to be kidnapped. Unfortunately for us impossible is impossible, as in a few seconds we found ourselves gagged and bound by no other than our ex English teacher. Of course he didn't care to explain what he wanted, but just dragged us to some ancient well nearby and threw us in with the words: "Hope you girls have fun in Konoha! Orochimaru is expecting you!" Yeh, I know very detailed. You can safely assume that Mr. Mann (the sucker is called that) was never my favorite teacher….but about him a bit later. The Konohanians (is that even a word?) weren't exactly happy to see us. You see we managed to land right in the middle of their treasury. The fact that we were gagged and bound didn't really disturb them and just to be sure they decided to thrown us into their prison. Unfortunately for us, they weren't as stupid as they looked (dressed in same swampy colored uniforms with knifes the size of XXS) and had enough sense to put us in three different cells. So here I am now in a cell, with a flashlight stuck in my face and a guy under me….The day can't get worse. It was quite a while when I finally stopped thinking and actually paid attention to reality. It seemed as if my cell partner was explaining what happened.
"So? What the hell are you guys doing?" madly whispered the still blushing guard.
"Isn't that obvious?" was the answer of the prisoner.
"But…..you know it is a prison here right?"
"What does that change?"
My patience nearing zero I decided to join in the conversation.
"What were we doing?" I screamed or at least tried to at the black haired man.
"Sleeping," answered the bastard.
"WHAT?" I actually for the first time in my life became speechless.
The guy laughed. His laugh was quiet and hoarse but at the same time so powerful and scary that I cringed.
"You misunderstand. Your colleague has overdone himself and threw the girl in so hard that she not only fell on me, but hit her head against the wall and came unconscious. It seemed too much of a bother to get her off so I was waiting for her to wakeup. That's all there is to it. What did you think?" And with that finishing line he leaned forward his eyes staring holes in the poor guards head.
"Nnnnnothing uhm sir…well I uhm I uhm will uhm leave you two uhm alone…" stuttered the Konohanian and quickly disappeared somewhere in the dark. I took it for a nice opportunity to get off my new buddy, seeing as I wasn't gagged or tied any longer. Slightly praying to god that I can retreat unnoticed, I backed up towards the cell`s other end. Haha, it wasn't meant to be.
"Who are you and why are you here?" asked the man.
As not answering seemed rather like an unwanted risk I said no whispered: "My name is Katherine and well I landed in the Konohanian treasury gagged."
For a second he just stared at me. Then he doubled back in laughter nearly loosing balance. That didn't seem nice to me and offended I inquired:" Who might you be, mister?'
"My name is Itachi…Itachi Uchiha."
Feeling like I had to drag every word out of him I continued my questioning: "What did you do to get stuck in this metal box?" It seemed as he would laugh again, his teeth were showing. Boy had he white teeth…. Wait a second. White teeth, red eyes... I looked him up and down. Muscles…..Oh my god he is a freaking vampire! The last line I actually cried out loud, getting a dagger sharp look from Itachi.
"I am not a vampire Katherine…. Just a professional killer."
"Oh," came my disappointed reply. "Wait what?"
He seemed not to have heard me staring into space to my right, lost deep in thought.
"I have decided. You have come in time, Katherine."
"For what?" I practically screamed at him. It seemed what was winning as the word of the day. Fingers crossed I was practically begging god or Osiris or anyone out there for Itachi not to kill me. That's why his answer caught me unaware. It was said quietly, coming out as a hiss.
"For the escape of course!" told me my new acquaintance.
Never thought I of all people would be saying this but Please! Pretty please with a cherry on top and eyelashes flapping up and down review! It doesn't even matter if you criticize! I just would like to know if I should continue writing this series.
Eternally yours, (not that easy to get rid of moi!) Xena.
