Partners in Crime
Characters: Sasori, Itachi
Rated: T for mild violence
If one were to ask someone if they personally knew of a criminal with elegant black-hair and bloodshot eyes, they wouldn't know anything. Even if they did know, they would likely be much too distressed to speak of such a man. That is because Uchiha Itachi always makes sure that his targets were either dead or silenced.
The raven haired man had a monotone voice and always maintained a cool and calm appearance; so calm, in fact, that even if he were to be stabbed in the chest with a lightning-fused sword *coughcoughsasukecough*, he would remain unfazed.
… On the other hand, his partner was more of an evil, sadistic man.
Akasuna Sasori had deceivingly sweet chocolate brown eyes and scruffy scarlet hair. His commonly visible smirk only added to his charm. However, any emotions he seemed to have were completely fake, for Sasori was a puppet in a human body. Literally. The only difference was that he was not the one being manipulated… for it was him whom manipulated others.
The two were extremely dangerous, S-Ranked criminals in a notorious organization made up of young adult mass-murderers known as the Akatsuki. You could find the pair's (along with the rest of Akatsuki's) portrait photo in any and every bingo book you came across. (A.N. How people managed to get their photos taken is unknown and completely irrelevant to what I'm trying to say. Anyways…)
"Akasuna, you can sense them too, correct?" Itachi murmured as he continued to silently trek ahead of his partner.
"Yeah, yeah. It's not like a few ants will do us any harm," he mumbled, following Itachi with barely audible footsteps.
Only seconds after being mentioned, a voice called out. "HOLD IT RIGHT THERE!" The two criminals whipped around. They were completely surrounded by the Anbu; yet, the two remained stoic and poised as they scanned the armed soldiers around them.
"I'd rather not dirty my hands, but it seems there is some filth in need of cleaning, Akasuna," Itachi said, his voice remaining composed despite the seemingly hopeless situation.
"For once, I can agree with you, Uchiha," Sasori purred with a visible smirk, sending chills down their followers' spines.
Of course, even the famous Anbu Black-Ops from the Hidden Leaf Village known for their high mission success rate were no match for the two, who were much more experienced and powerful. When the battle royale was had approached its conclusion, Anbus were scattered all around, unable to talk, move, or breathe. In other words, they were all dead: whereas the two criminals casually left the battlefield unscratched, but tainted with the blood of numerous others.
