Itachi and OC
A usual walk turned into a lifetime change for Itachi Uchiha. It was by fate that he met her, the one who he now calls his closest friend.
-Flashback-
It happened one year ago, when he was taking his usual walk alone through the forest. It was there that he saw a girl just as old as himself, with long silky black hair and velvet cream colored skin under attack by a pair of ninja, presumably assassins. The girl was helpless as she possessed no skills as a ninja and all she could do was run away from them but at that moment, it seemed that her chances were gone. She was severely injured; many cuts from the thrown shuriken of the assassins and a broken ankle kept her from getting away from them. When Itachi first laid eyes on her, it was the only time when he ever felt a certain emotion, care. Aside from sparing his brother, he never cared about anyone. This defenseless girl, the pure fear and despair he could see from her eyes was enough for him. One of the assassins raised his kunai to finish her when a figure suddenly appeared in front of him and gave him a devastating kick to the stomach, sending him flying into a tree.
"You there, you'll die for that!" screamed all of them.
Itachi kept his emotionless expression and kept perfectly calm. The ninja charged at him, throwing shuriken and kunai at him. He effortlessly dodged them and unleashed a fire jutsu, blasting them all into one spot. He then used Amaterasu, setting them all ablaze until they succumbed to the flames. He deactivated his Mangekyo Sharingan and collapsed to his knees, panting heavily. He could barely see anything through his eyes, he could barely even make out the girl, who was looking at him in a very scared manner. He smiled.
"It's alright, I am not here to harm you," he said with comfort in his voice.
The girl kept her gaze on him and crawled towards him. He helped her up and she wondered why he couldn't look at her when in fact, he was but could barely see.
"What's your name?" she asked.
"I am Itachi Uchiha, and you are?" he replied.
"Nishi Shinorame," she replied.
He smiled again.
"What's wrong Itachi, is there something wrong with me?" she asked pointing at his eyes.
"No, it's the effects of the Mangekyo Sharingan, you know what that is right?" he asked.
He could see her nod intently and she put her hands over his eyes. He felt his eyes being repaired and the pain that was engulfing him was dissipating. When he opened his eyes again, he could see clearer than anytime in his life. He looked at her and noticed her exceptional beauty. He had never seen someone so beautiful before.
"You're a medical ninja huh?" he asked.
She nodded again. He lifted her onto his back, making her blush.
"Wha-What are you doing?" she stuttered.
"Taking you to my home, to recover from your injuries," he said sternly as he leaped away with her.
