Summary: [ItachixOC] He was a young prodigy, the pride of the notorious Uchiha clan. However, perfection had its limits and often led to numerous complications. Although life was never simple for Uchiha Itachi, he had no intentions of being defeated – especially not by her. Based on the events of Itachi's childhood.

Author's Memo: I had originally intended to post this much, much earlier. However, I couldn't seem to find myself being able to, that is, until now. Forgive me. The story may be quite perplexing, after all, I'm only improvising as of yet (brainstorming isn't exactly my expertise). Hopefully, I will have everything sorted out soon. Hopefully.
Enjoy anyways :]

Si deus me relinquit,
Ego deum relinquo.
Scroll 00: Prologue
She dashed into the silent streets, masked by the night's cloak of darkness.
Without a pause, or a moment's hesitation; without once staring to the left or right; without once raising her head to the sky above or the ground below, but fixated on the sight before with absolute resolution, the female muttered not a word nor relaxed a muscle.
She only ran.
The soft padding of her soles were barely noticeable, if not, inexistent. She herself would have been considered the same if not for the rare glimpse of her faint silhouette underneath the pale illumination of the moon. Her speed was undeniably swift and allowed not a second to spare a moment of contemplation.
Solus oppressus nigram clavem habere potest,
Omnias ianuas praecludo
Sic omnias precationes obsigno.
She continued to run. Pass countless houses and their sleeping inhabitants, however, always within the proximity of the shadows. It was her camouflage; her shield against being seen and worst of all, discovered. Although she could leap onto the roofs above which ensured a faster route, she did not dare play with her chances of death. Yet. Mistakes could be fatal hence, she preferred the streets of Konoha where the ground provided a far more advantageous cover than above.
Turtle over rabbit...'
She noticed her target was nearing; it would be only seconds before she reached the Hokage Tower.
Her ultimate desire was waiting from within.
Sed
qui me defendet?
Ab me terribilissimo ipse.
