Chapter 1
Suri knew she would probably get in trouble going out of the village without permission. But I must see him, thought she. Itachi Uchiha, the man she was so curious to see ever since she was 10 and she did see Itachi a couple of times before walking in the village. She heard about him killing his clan and how he let his younger brother, Sasuke, live. That was 4 years ago. I'm 15, I can handle myself.
She then thought of other rouge ninjas, if she had to fight them and get hurt she brought a little first-aid kit. As she jumped through the trees she felt a presence below her somewhere. Suri jumped down and walked on further into the forest. A few minutes later she came across a man sitting under a tree. Walking cautiously forward, a kunai at the ready, she approached him and saw that he wore a robe with red clouds on it.
The man turned his raven colored head toward her and she stood still looking into the eyes of the Sharingan. She gasped for she knew who the man was, "Itachi?" She slowly came up to him, telling him,"Don't worry. I'm not going to harm you in any way." Itachi deactivated his Sharingan and relaxed against the tree again. Suri came to sit beside him.
Itachi couldn't stop looking at the young girl with her beautiful brown eyes and short brown or black hair. Her eyes reminded him of chocolate which reminded him of his favorite sweet treat. Suri looked into Itachi's eyes and saw loneliness in the dark gray depths of them. She then sensed a wound on Itachi's body. "Um, Itachi, I sense a wound on you. Could I heal it for you?"
He looked back at her, amazed at the skill she had for sensing chakra flow from wounds. He grabbed her upper arm and made her sit her on her knees in front of him. Itachi moved the top of his robe over so Suri could see the little gash on his cheek. Oh the robe was hiding it, thought she. She stretched her hands over the bloody scratch and formed the green chakra over it, killing the germs or foreign substances.
In a minute the cut was gone. Itachi reached his hand out to touch his cheek. All he felt was his smooth unscratched skin. He gave her a little smirk and said,"Thank you. You're quite skilled at Medical Ninjutsu. " Suri blushed and said,"Your welcome and thank you."
Hmmm.. not much of a talker is she, thought Itachi. "What brings you out of the Leaf village this late at night?" Suri stuttered,"Well... I heard from Sasuke that you were here and decided to find you. Four years ago, I always went to the Uchihas to talk and I would see you with Sasuke, laughing and talking with him." Itachi nodded with understanding. "I think I have seen you a couple of times before. By the way, what is your name," asked Itachi.
"Suri Taichi." Itachi tried out her name and found that he loved the way her name sounded on his lips. His heart beat a bit faster as he quickly looked at her body. She had curves even though she was not yet a woman. Suri blushed as she heard Itachi say her name over and over.
Itachi then asked,"Suri, would you like to sit next to me?" Suri then said in her mind, an opportunity to be with Itachi! Don't lose it! She got up and sat down beside him. They were shoulder to shoulder and silent.
"So you have heard about what I done. Are you not afraid to be near me," asked Itachi. "At first I was, but then I knew who you were so my fear went away." For some reason, Suri felt protected by this strong body sitting beside her. "Hm. Do you know anything else besides your medical ninjutsu?" "I can do ninjustsu and some taijutsu, but I'm the best in genjutsu. They called me the genjutsu princess."
A genjutsu princess, huh? "I guess that means I'm a prince of genjutsu." Suri smiled at him. Itachi felt his blood turn hot, felt it running through his viens. Why is she effecting me this way?
Just looking at Itachi made her blush and made her feel nervous. What is this feeling? Itachi read her mind, knew what she was thinking. Her sex hormones was raging out of control as his was. Suri felt like she couldn't breathe and neither could Itachi.
Gulping and stuttering, Suri tried to say,"I-Itachi, are you feeling alright? Because I don't feel so good." Surprisingly Itachi took her hand and put it on his heart. Suri's heart stopped as she felt Itachi's hard chest underneath her palm and thought she felt his heart beat the same rhythm as hers. He finally spoke,"Does this answer your question?" She smiled, blushed and answered,"Yes."
Without thinking, Itachi caressed her jawline and up to her ear. Suri shivered from the inside out at his touch so gentle and calm. Itachi looked at Suri's slightly parted lips. He wanted to kiss those warm plumb and pink skins that concealed her mouth. But he couldn't because he was a criminal and she was supposed to be in the village at this hour at night.
Itachi decided that it was his time to part. "Suri, you should be at your village. I must be going too." He lightly kissed the corner of her mouth and stood. Suri quickly got up and asked,"Wait! Will I see you again?" Itachi turned to her and said,"I honestly don't know. Just maybe you might see me again."
He hoped that they would meet again soon. Suri turned to go her way to her village and said,"Bye, Itachi." Itachi looked back at her gave her a little smile and jumped into the trees. You're too young to understand the meaning of love between a man and a woman, Suri. Maybe when you are older will you then be my... lover.
As she jumped from branch to branch she soon reached the entrance to Konoha. She went through the guarding posts and was home free... till she heard an old voice from behind her. "And where have you been?" She turned and it was the 3rd Hokage. "Uumm.."
"You've been outside without permission. I'm sorry but you are now considered a rouge ninja." "But my Hokage...", said Suri as she tried to make him change his mind. "I have to follow the rules of the Kages, my dear. I'm sorry," he said sadly. Suri bowed and went home to tell her family the news and to pack some of her things. After packing she headed to the Hokage's office and told him that she was leaving now.
Now I wonder where I should go? An idea came to her. Maybe I should join the Akatsuki now that I'm not loyal to the village anymore. But what if they don't except me and can't find nowhere else to go? Man this is going to become complicated, Suri said grumpily.
