I wanted to do something new and this idea bashed me hard last night so I wrote it for you all to see. I'm still working on My little beast. But it's really ticking me off with all the thinking I'm having to do. It'll be awhile before the next chapters out but I wanted to start on this as a breather from MLB. ^^
Curse of a teller...
"Itachi." a gruff voice said as a door opened and Kisame looked in on his dressing partner. Itachi finished sliding his shirt on since his bath to remove all the mission filth off him, he glanced at the blue man in a way of saying 'what?' "Leader-sama wishes to see you." his partner informed him.
Itachi nodded once and the shark man left him by closing the door 'Already another mission.. has it been more then two hours?' he sighed as he gathered his wet hair into a towel and rubbed it as dry as he could before running a brush through it and then placing it in its pony style.
After he'd fixed his raven tresses out of his face, Itachi left his room and walked in silence to Pein's office. He knocked as usual upon the large wooden doors and waited before he was called in and he was aloud to enter the cave-like room. After closing the door, the Uchiha looked in front of him to the pitch black that was the room, a form suddenly brightened the room with a faint glow as Pein's shadow came to be, "Approach." it commanded.
Itachi did as he was bid and paced up to stand right before the tall rainbow figure, "You have a new mission. You shall do this mission on your own as Kisame's strength will be wasted for such a mission." Itachi waited for his orders, ready to leave and just do it, "There has been talk of a woman in the forest of the water country who can do things no one else can do." the voice spoke.
"They say she is magic, that she can do anything if asked the right price." the leader continued. Itachi was mildly curious about this female now, "Our rivals are looking in on her and are wishing to find this woman. No one has managed as of yet for she uses something similar to high level genjutsu to hide her home but I wish for you to track her down Itachi." Itachi nodded, "I see why Kisame would be unfit for a mission of this kind." he noted, being a genjutsu specialist himself.
The shadow nodded, "Once you have found her, kill her. She is a threat to our operation and we can not have her aiding the enemy if they were to locate her somehow." Pein ordered. Itachi nodded once, "Questions?" the shadow inquired, offering the Uchiha a chance for possible info not mentioned. "Is her home always located within the forest or is she known to move outside the mist villages' terrain?"
The shadow was silent for a few seconds, "We do not know but no one has ever spotted or heard new of her outside the mist cloaked forest. You are dismissed Itachi." Pein said partingly. Itachi bowed to the other male's form and turned to leave. He was almost out the door when a last sentence came from Pein, "Press forward with caution, Itachi, she is truly dangerous..." those words had the Uchiha stop for a spare seconds before he left the dark silent room and walked towards his room so as to repack for his newest assassination mission.
It was hours later now, Itachi having left the rainy city of Ame for the quiet, dry roads of the fire country. It was the quickest rout to the woman he sought and the Konoha ANBU seemed to be all too oblivious to his presence whenever he and Kisame passed through the area. His thoughts were set on this woman and her abilities, really now, magic? How absurd! Itachi certainly didn't believe this woman was magic, maybe a great ninja but no magic user.
Days had passed since Itachi had left 'home'; all around him was a wall of confusing white and grey trees. Everything looked surreal and horrific in this forest and it was far too silent, but Itachi didn't seem to notice his creepy surroundings as he wandered blindly through the forest of the mist. He hadn't been looking for long but Itachi never really had to.
A soft cling cling was made every now and again in the silence and Itachi had picked up on it the second he'd heard the soft bell chime. Could this woman be a sound ninja, there were jutsus that used sound to confuse the enemy completely and this mist could have anyone running in circles till they perished.
But Itachi knew what he was doing and he knew this forest just as well as Kisame did, the Uchiha stopped when he noticed a ball of dancing light up ahead, it grew bigger as it moved towards him and the male drew back to dodge it, if it were to be an attack. The slow moving ball danced towards him and they hovered there, seeming like a person as it waved back and forth in front of Itachi. It soon began bouncing in circles around the Uchiha in a faster and more confusing manner.
Itachi watched the yellow ball of light dance around him warily, "What is this?" he wondered as it suddenly danced out of its circle and away from Itachi making the mist part where ever it danced to. Itachi watched a path unfold behind the ball of light and his mind came up that this thing was here as a guide, he was expected it would seem.
The silent raven soon took to pacing after the ball and he sort of enjoyed how it danced so care-free through the air as it lead the way. A clearing was outline in the fading mist as Itachi stopped just inside it, a small home sized caravan sat in the clearing, its colors looking exotic and beautiful. The ball of light danced right through the open doorway into the home that was shadowed with thick purple curtains parted open.
Itachi narrowed his eyes as he paced towards the house on wheels and stopped just outside, the scent of incense hitting him hard and making him dizzy, "Itachi dear, come in!" a female voice called to him, sounding... sounding just like his mother had when she called sweetly to him. The Uchiha shook the familiarity off as he cautiously entered the place; his sight was met with soft plush pillows everywhere and all in the vibrantest of colors.
The woman he sought lay in the midst of the sea of color she looked a dancer and quiet young at that. The dancer looked to be a young woman of maybe twenty with eyes as bright as polished emerald and midnight black hair that tumbled nearly to her knees in wild waves. The bright green and gold silken garments she wore rippled as she shifted on the pillows, showing as much as they concealed.
"It's nice to finally meet you, Uchiha-kun. I've been waiting a long time you know... nearly eight years." she said almost scolding toward him with a playful smile upon her young looking face. Itachi attempted to keep his calm together, eight years? She had been waiting for him ever since he left his brother and village behind him? That was just creepy...
"So you are the woman they speak of that performs magic... why did you wait for me?" he said after the moments of silence. The woman continued her bright, motherly smile, "I am indeed the one you seek, Itachi dear." she said, before bring a long pipe to her lips and sucking lightly on it. A small cloud escaped her lips as she drew breath once again, "Because I knew you would come on your own, to me." she said with amusement.
Itachi narrowed his garnet orbs, this woman had succubus written all over her, he resisted the urge to cough as the smoke invaded his breathing space and slowly began breaking him without his knowledge. The woman got to her feet and softly padded towards the other, his senses picking her up but his mind not working as it usually was, "So you are the one fate has deem to be my end?" she breathed as she placed her small hands on his chest, "I must say, a demi-god such as yourself, with such beauty and grace should not be used as you are now by fools who seek to rule the world."
Itachi attempted to back away from her hands but found her hands leading him gently towards the batch of pillows litter on the floor. Itachi cursed the woman already, as he staggered to the plush bed and fell to it, dragging the woman with him, "Oh!" she cried as she landed nicely on his chest, her clothes letting her feel his well trained muscles, "Why don't you stay here with me, forget what fate wills of you and live in peace once again?" she asked as she rubbed herself up against his form to get higher up to his face. "I would love to have such a beautiful man all to myself out here in the nothingness the deadly mist makes." she breathed into his ear.
Itachi groggily glared at her, his mind getting foggier as time passed, "I... will not stay with you, witch. I have come her with... a purpose and... I shall fulfill it by ending your life." he said as he managed to push her body off his and sit up away from her. The woman's brows knitted together at being rejected, "And how will you do that Itachi dear? Your jutsus will not work in your state and you have no weapons, you couldn't kill anything as you are now." she sneered slightly as she attempted to crawl back on him.
Itachi surprised her by grabbing her throat in a weakened iron grip, "No matter my status I can kill you." he said in a daze, head spinning before he closed his eyes, damn he was sure to pass out. Two small hands held his wrist, a tingle running through his body from her touch, "Fine then, Uchiha!" she snapped, no longer being nice, she wouldn't let herself be killed by this man, "I know well my death this day but as I die this day, you shall suffer for the rest of your long life!" she seethed, cursing him as she threw his hand off in a fit.
Itachi's eyes widened at what she'd said, long life?! Surely her long was meant in sarcasm? He could not live until he died of age, Itachi was seeking death himself! Why was it avoiding him so? "From this day forward, you Uchiha Itachi, shall suffer through nightmares you thought not possible! You will be forced to live in this world until death grants mercy on you! I hope you enjoy you brother's torture, I've foreseen he will enjoy it greatly." she said, Itachi backed away from her in shock.
Had she just cursed him? His anger spilt over at the thought of her making his life a living hell, "Die now, witch." he said and cast the flames of darkness upon her form. A high pitched wail came from the bundle on the floor as it withered in agony. Itachi's body jerked suddenly when little balls of light suddenly flew into him, the orbs had been dancing around the ceiling thus far but now the rainbow colored orbs had struck him hard and knocked the air firmly from his chest.
With the curse set firmly in place, the woman's screams died away and nothing was left behind in her place but a slight burn mark on the wooden floor she'd withered on. Itachi sucked in a shaky breath; well she was dead... but at a high price. The Uchiha's sight wavered as he lay in the midst of the pillows before the intoxication swallowed him whole and he was stolen to a land of nightmares of the future.
There's the first little chapter. So let me know what you guys think, is it worth reading more of? I've always sort of wanted to do an Mpreg fic and this was the best idea I came up with. :p~ though... that part will come way later after I ruin Itachi's life completely... -blinks- uh yeah... review? :D
