Chained By Blood

A Sasuke&OC&Itachi Story

Disclaimer: I do not own Naruto.

For those of you who hate having OC's in a fanfic, I suggest you not read this one...cause I would very much appreciate it if you commented, without flaming my story. Thanx! ... Oh, and by the way, anyone who thinks that this is a rip off of the Blood Bond story, is wrong! . I wrote this story a long time ago, and only recently read that story. Anyway...enjoy and review!!

Chapter 1

She panted as she leapt from branch to branch, trying to escape her fate if caught. She landed on a dead branch; hearing it crackle underneath her, she tried to jump to another but she was too late.

She fell from an at least 25-foot drop with a snap, leaves and smaller branches slitting her as she fell…then she landed with a groan. She felt blood seep from all over her body where the cuts and scrapes had sliced her skin. She tried to stand, but a flash of pain whipped through her leg. It was broken; and she was doomed. She felt them nearing; doing the only thing she could at the moment, she used a genjutsu to seemingly walk into a tree as three flashes of black and red swished by. After their chakra signatures faded away, she slowly released the genjutsu.

She reached into the pocket of the Akatsuki cloak she had modified to her liking and pulled out a piece of crumpled paper. Written on it was one word:

"Konoha"

Suddenly she jolted to the right just in time to dodge a shuriken. "Jinx! Just come back! We can't risk you dying!" one of the three shinobi yelled from afar as they dashed her way.

"No… I… had to leave…" the pain was searing through her body.

"Look Jinx-chan, we don't need to do this, you've been with the Akatsuki for years, now just come back with us peacefully and-"

"NO! Didn't you hear me the first time?! I'm not going back…not yet," she quickly stood, wincing at the pain. Her hands reached into two specially made pockets in her Akatsuki cloak. She gave a slight smirk at the fear in their eyes as she pulled out metal claws that she herself modified already on her hands. "You know, anyone who's ever seen these have never lived to tell."

"Oh man, this just isn't our day," the shortest of the three Akatsuki members said, for they knew that they had no chance against her.

She smirked, "That's right…" then suddenly her eyes turned to a glare that penetrated them like a dagger, instilling fear in the panicking ninja.

"Oh…no…"

The Leader was silent as the young man knelt down on the pillow on the floor before him. His dark voice echoed, "Itachi…why would Mizuki run away?"

Itachi hesitated before giving his answer, "I…don't know." He frowned, truly displeasured at her actions.

"She's your responsibility, Itachi."

"I know…"

The dark man growled under his breath, "We need to find her…you know what could happen to you if she-"

"She won't."

"I should've expected this from her…If we can't find her within a month tops, then we'll go back to apprehending the Kyuubi in Konoha. We don't have time to waste on her, but at the same time, she knows our secrets and is your only weakness. We've sent three members after her already."

'There's no way they'll ever be able to detain her, but then again, she'll return on her own.' After all, he knew her better than anyone. "They're dead…let me handle this myself, it won't take a week. I already know where she is…I always know."

"Kisame should be back within a few days from his mission, he'll help you track her down."

Itachi nodded, even though he really didn't need Kisame's help.

Now that I've got you hung, you must continue...to find out just who our mysterious runaway is. Although, it's only fair to give you a preview of the next chapter...

In the Next Chapter: Beaten and half-dead, our mysterious Mizuki wanders near the Konoha Gates, only to be discovered by a certain ill-tempered Uchiha.
