DISCLAIMER: The characters of Naruto belong to Masashi Kishimoto.
Don't sue me.
I know I suck at writing, but the idea popped up in my head while I was so insanely sick today and I had to write it. I'm not even half-way through Naruto, so characters may be very OOC!
Itachi and Kisame were walking through a desert wasteland; both wondering why Leader-sama had sent them on this mission without warning them to bring more water.
"Itachi, how much water do we have left?" whined Kisame.
'Oh God, this is gonna be a long mission.' thought Itachi as he smacked the back of his partner's head.
"Ow! I'll take that as a 'shut up'."
Our favorite raven-haired Akatsuki member sighed as he enjoyed the newfound silence. Unfortunately; it didn't last long. "Itachi! Look; there's something besides sand!" Fishboy yelled. Couldn't he be a little more mature?
But sure enough, there was a dark lump lying up ahead. He had no idea why Kisame would get so excited over a lump. It couldn't be anything more useful than a rock. Nevertheless; curiosity won out and Itachi flashed to where it lay.
"Hey, wait up!" screamed Kisame. But annoyance didn't even register for Itachi as he saw that the unimportant lump was actually a girl curled up in the sand. He also didn't realize that Kisame had appeared beside him and yelled "HOLEY SHIZZNIT! Is she dead?!"
The girl was pale and thin with long black hair and a nice facial structure. The only problem with it was that it was twisted with pain. With her features, she looked as if she could have been Itachi's sister! A really…pretty…sister. 'Pull yourself together! Since when do you notice girls?'
Just then, Itachi's cell phone rang. (Yes; I know they don't have cell phones. But this is my story!)
Itachi: "Hello Leader-sama. Why didn't you call Kisame's cell? You know I'm low on minutes."
(Hehe! I LOVE the humor!)
Pein: "BECAUSE KISAME'S CELL ISN'T ON DAMMIT! SHOW RESPECT FOR YOUR LEADER!" (Pein is really uptight)
Itachi: 'If I had it my way, you wouldn't BE the leader!' "My apologies Leader-sama; now may I ask why you called during the mission you so kindly bestowed upon us?
Pein: "Well; I changed my mind. I'm not mad at that guy anymore, so you can come back now!"
(As you can see; I also made Pein very STUPID!)
Itachi: "Thank you Leader-sama. One more thing; we found a girl out here in the desert that you forgot to tell us about. Should we bring her in? You did mention Konan had been complaining about being the only girl."
Pein: "Is she prettier than Konan? She wouldn't like that."
Itachi: "Leader; you know I don't pay attention to pretty."
Pein: "…Alright, bring her in. If Konan doesn't like her we can just kill her off. Bye!"
A twinge of guilt came over Itachi at the careless mention of the girl's death. 'WTF?! Why would I care about her death? You're going soft Itachi…' Kisame piped up with a question about what Pein had said and asked AGAIN how much water was left.
"The mission's off and we're bringing the girl back." Itachi looked at Kisame expectantly…and Kisame looked back. Then Kisame said, "Well I'm not gonna carry her. I'm already tired and you won't tell me how much water is left!"
He…was going…to fucking KILL his partner if he didn't show him the proper respect he deserved as an Uchiha! The only reason he didn't now was because he had killed a few other people Pein hadn't hated and he didn't want to listen to him bitch about it anymore. So he picked up the girl and cradled her against his chest since she wouldn't come out of the fetal position. Maybe she had wounded her stomach; she had her arms wrapped around it too tightly to be natural. But there was no blood so…
They had almost gotten back to the Akatsuki lair when the girl arched her back and let out a small shriek. This caused her to be dropped and the Akatsuki members stared in shock at her as she writhed in agony on the ground. Itachi was the first to react after she stopped moving as Kisame stood there like an idiot.
The girl let out another groan and Itachi swore he saw a hint of a fang at the corner of her mouth. He dropped to his knees and pulled back her lip to see if he had been hallucinating, only to find that there was indeed a stubby, sharpened tooth as her incisor. He slowly ran his thumb over it to see if it was natural and as he did so the tooth actually elongated and sliced it open!
As soon as a drop hit the girl's tongue, her hand shot up to grab his wrist and her full lips closed over the digit. Itachi tried to pull his hand away, but he found that he couldn't get her to release her grip. A girl was stronger than him! A slight panic set in as her grip actually tightened and he heard a slight crack from his wrist. Soon he felt the pain and realized that she had broken his wrist!
The girl finally let go of her stomach and released his hand just as Kisame came out of his catatonic stupor. "SHIT man! Why'd you let her do that?" Itachi was glad his partner was too stupid to notice that the girl had overpowered him because he would have never heard the end of it otherwise. But he also couldn't come up with an answer to the question so he ignored the pain in his wrist and single-handedly swung the girl up into his arms.
What was she? 'Vampire' would have been his first guess if he hadn't seen the girl out in plain daylight and felt her pulse when his hand supported her neck while she was curled up. Was she a demon? What kind of demon acted like a vampire and let itself lay helpless in the desert? If she was a demon, wouldn't she have been strong enough to be on constant guard despite an obvious bloodlust? Maybe stupid Leader would know.
