Hell yeah. I'm back. xD But I never really was gone. Does anyone here know who I am? Whatever.
I do not own Naruto. I do own Minori. Aiko belongs to xXNarutoGurlXx.
"Minori, we're leaving for Kirigakure tomorrow."
"But-"
"We're leaving tomorrow."
"...Hai, Itachi-san."
I turned to leave Itachi-san's room, trying my hardest not to look worried. But how could I? Kiri was where I used to live, and where I murdered all those people. The first person I wanted dead was long gone, I killed him in the chunnin exams. But, one person was still alive. There was one person I had to kill.
I noticed Kisame walking down the hall of the house. I glared at him, yet he smirked, his ugly eyes flashing at the metal bands around my neck, wrists and ankles. Itachi-san had learned hot to use his chakra to use these as shackles. He put them on me himself. One bad move, and I would be suffering punishment. I remember how Itachi-san had whipped me, instead of using his sharigan.
Throwing open the door, I stepped outside, the cool air blowing into my face. It was relaxing.
Itachi-san wasn't as cruel as he seemed. He let me have my own garden and gave me the money to care for it.
My koi swam in little streams that ran under bridges, through rocks and into little waterfalls. I had a hard time keeping Kisame from eating them, though. But whenever a fish went missing, I told Itachi-san and he scolded Kisame. Itachi-san took good care of me.
I took off my sandals and fishnet socks, and stepped into the cool water. The koi swam around my ankles, and I laughed. Following it upwards, I pushed aside some bamboo.
There before me lay a hot spring. I took off my clothes and slipped in, not worrying about perverts who would peek in, because I had set up traps all around. I sighed and slid in deeper, letting the steamy water relax me. And with everything going on, I needed the relaxation.
"Wah!" I woke up, about an hour later. I looked at my fingers, all pruned up.
"You'll get a cold if you fall asleep in the water."
I half jumped up, and held out a kunai, only to find my friend Aiko sitting next to me. Her purple hair floated on the water. Her clothes- a black shirt connected to a shirt by fishnet- were laying next to my clothes. "You baka. How could I get a COLD in a HOT spring?"
Aiko pondered my statement and laughed. "You got me. So, have you heard about our latest trip?" She asked, and I sighed.
"Yeah. Back to our home village, where we were banished. I for my killing spree-and the killing of mizukage- and your for your 'relationship' with Itachi-san." I had only stated what we knew of each other. We didn't share many things, like our reasons for doing what we did.
"Don't remind me." Aiko sighed, and I groaned.
"So. Have you told Itachi-san about your little crush on him?" I smirked. She wouldn't admit it, but I knew. I knew who she was in love with, but she had no idea who I was in love with. But-
"And have you told Kisame about your sexual lust towards him?" I moaned and playfully splashed her. "You know who I love! And it's not Kisame."
She shook her head. "No, you haven't told me. And I want to know." I wagged my finger at her. "In time." I laughed, and she splashed water at me. "But when?"
I shrugged, and looked up into the sky. "You'll know when we see him again." She shook her head, and I continued to stare at the sky, thinking of the one person who could save me.
"Don't you ever take those off?" Aiko asked, indicating my bindings. Yet for some reason, she was staring at my seal, the one that bound the Furaki inside me, the ten tail.
"You know Itachi doesn't trust me." I sighed sadly.
"That's because you give him reasons not to. You have to be completely loyal to him."
"Even when we go back to Kiri?"
"Even when we got back to Kiri."
I put my hand over my eyes. "Doesn't sound like fun."
"It isn't supposed to be."
I guess I should of known that my life wouldn't be fun ever since I learned that the Furaki was inside me. But, I was naive. Life for the vessel of a demon would never be fun.
So? How did you like it? It was just the beginning, but it will pick up, I promise! Usually I end my stories with a cliffie, but... I hop you enjoyed it. Please review! And thanks for xXNarutoGurlXx for letting me use Aiko!
