I hid in the shadows, my black fur blending in perfectly, watching as my prey ate some grass. I truly hated having to kill like this. There was no art in killing this way. I longed to feel cool metal steel in my hands again, but I resigned myself to this temporary fate of mine as a wolf.
I looked again to my prey, tensing my muscles ready to pounce, but at the last second I held myself back. Where my prey was just eating stood a cloaked figure; holding the rabbit in its hands. I watched as it reached up to its hood and pulled it down. Long flowing pink hair flowed down to its waist. The pale hand reached to the clasp in the front, swiftly undoing it and let it fall to the ground. If I were in my original form and if I was subject to certain, unbecoming actions, I would have let my mouth hang ajar.
She had pale, flawless skin. Her hair, as I have already mentioned, was pink and flowed like water to her waist. She had a small waist, truly she was small overall, but her waist was noticeably small. She had great breasts, they weren't necessarily big, but on her they looked huge, though, she showed no sign of them bothering her. She would be at least a foot smaller than myself, I mused.
She was wearing a black corset with crimson red stitching. Her tights went down to her knees. The ends were finished in lace, which had a few randomly placed red strings. She had no shoes. On her left ankle she wore two black cords, each had a charm. One had a simple orange swirl and the other was the Uchiha fan. I wondered who this was, to have the audacity to wear my symbol when they didn't know me. I narrowed my eyes and continued my examination.
On her left ankle was a simple silver chain with five charms. There was a silver 'x', a silly pig charm, a silver kanji symbol for love, a childish dog charm, and, oddly, a random bowl charm. On each wrist was a velvet ribbon of deep maroon color. She had nothing on her neck. I looked down to her waist, to see if there was anything special about her belt, only to realize it wasn't a belt. It was her hitae-ate(sp?). She was a Konoha nin, I mean missing-nin, I mentally corrected as I noticed the slash through the symbol.
I hesitated for just a moment before walking from the bushes. Her head snapped to me as she pulled a beautiful katana I hadn't noticed before. She didn't relax, even as she realized I was 'just' a wolf. I walked forward and when I was only a couple of feet away, I dropped to the ground and rolled over onto my back, leaving my neck open.
We stayed in the tense silence for what seemed hours. Finally, she re-sheathed her katana. I rolled over and got into a sitting position. We stared at each other as she got into a squatting position. She smiled and started stroking the fur on my side, it was surprisingly soothing.
"Well, aren't you beautiful? Amazing eyes." I continued staring. Her voice was smoothing. I watched as she stood, dropped the rabbit in front of me, put her cloak on, then leave. I stared after her before following her previous path. When she looked back at me, all she did was smile and continued walking. As we continued walking in silence, I had a strangely amusing thought:
I, Itachi Uchiha, s-class criminal, was following a pink haired woman like a dog that needed protection.
A/N: ok, just a little weird. Anyways, hope you enjoyed it!!
