Disclaimer: I don't own the Anime/Manga Naruto. I do how ever own the idea for this FanFiction.
Please Read and Review! The fate of this FanFict lies in YOUR hands! Seriously. If I don't get alot of good reviews on people wanting to me keep it well... yeah, you can say bye-bye to this FanFict being a long story. I'm mean, I know. Sorry.
From, Somnia.
Uchiha Itachi was many things.
" N-no! Please! I-I-I'll do anything, I promise! J-just let her go! " A man in his late 30's said as sobs choked his throat, making his words come out stuttered.
" Ah-ah-ah. " A long tall dark blue-ish figure 'tsked' while flexing his right index finger left to right, left to right in front of the man's face. " Stop your whining. It's getting you no where. " He grinned, his sharp white teeth semi-glowing in the darkness. Long dark amber hair was held in his grasp. The hair belonging to a woman in her early 30's, whimpering from the blue-ish figure pulling her hair. The figure lifted his hand a little higher making the pudgy woman's head jerk up and cry out pain.
" P-please! She h-has nothing to do w-with i-it! With this! " The man shook his head, making his greasy hair damped from sweat flowing around his forehead in the small breeze he created. " Its my fault! D-don't make her suffer for my mistakes! Punish me! I'm the one who should suffer, not her! "
" Yes, it is your fault. " Sharp teeth glowed brighter from the sadistic grin becoming wider. " And since it is, what better way to make you suffer by seeing your lovely wife here killed right before your very eyes? "
He was handsome, a genius, a thinker, envied by many, he was perfect. He was also a killer, a murderer, feared by most and an S-class missing/wanted-nin in the Bingo books, and in the Five Great Nations.
" NO! PLEASE! " The man was now on his knee's in a bow. Tears continuously fell to floor from his eyes. " Take my life instead! She doesn't deserve this! " His forehead now on the hard wooden floor. " Please-- "
" P-p-please. " The women choked out. " T-take m-my life i-i-if it me-means he'll l-live. " She sobbed out as she closed her eyes, hoping it would stop her tears, and also hoping to stop the world of her vision coming to a pitiful end.
Her husbands head shot up. " Don't even say that! You shouldn't suffer for my-- "
But despite being called a demon, a monster, a cruel heartless being, and even the devil himself, Uchiha Itachi was human.
Suddenly a whooshing noise was heard from the air being cut at a fast speed. The next thing that was heard was a loud thud, then the object that made the thudding noise was rolling on the ground.
The man's green eyes widened when the head of his beloved wife came rolling right in front of his line of vision. Her head stopped rolling right infront of his lowered face, her eyes opened up from the inpact, staring blankly straight at her husbands horrid face, her mouth slightly gaped. His breathing came out as pants from shock before he screamed at the top of his lungs. The body of his wife fell on her stomach in front of her killer.
" Sorry, but it was a request from the little Missy. And I always take requests from the ladies. No matter how fat and ugly they are. " Kisame let the few strands of amber hair fall from his fingers. Sighing, Kisame jerked his karambit knife in front of him, making the blood on the knife splatter on to the man's face. " I was hoping to use the Samehade, but that wouldn't of been to much fun. Besides, " opening his coat slightly, Kisame put the knife in its rightful pouch. " I didn't want to let Samehade feel the shame of taking down such a worthless excuse of a human being. " He snorted.
And because Uchiha Itachi was a human, he had to see the flaws in every thing in order so he himself wouldn't be flawed.
" Now then. " Kisame stepped on the dead woman's back to reach the pitiful excuse of a man in front of him. From the impact and weight of Kisame's foot on the woman's back, blood shot out of the hole that use to be her neck. " Since we got that out of the way, lets get down to business, shall we? " Kisame kicked the head to his left before crouching in front of the man.
" M-m-monster! " the man yelled out through his tears, his eyes closed tight so he could no longer see his dead wifes head.
" Yeah, yeah, yeah. You're not the first one to call me that. " Kisame grunted out. " But aren't you the monster here? "
Itachi finally got up from his semi-comfortable chair and walked next to Kisame, looking down at the man. " Its your fault that you tried to deceive usby leaking information to Konoha. If you have never tried to do that in the first place, your wife would still be alive, and we wouldn't be here. " He stated in a mono-tone voice.
Being the genius Uchiha Itachi is, he over thought every thing. He never once over thought a single thing, because in his point of view, every thing was flawed in its own way.
" And as you can plainly see, me and my partner don't like to be deceived, nor does our organization. " Kisame's sadistic grin came back. " But since you're the only one who can get special information for us, we've decided to spare your life. "
" Understand that this is a once in a life time thing. If we even think for a second that some one is trying to betray or deceive us, we'll kill them in an instant. " Itachi blinked once. " Let your wifes death be a warning. The next warning won't be so peaceful. "
" 'Peaceful'? PEACEFUL?! " The unknown man barked out, mad with laughter. " How in the hell could you stand there and call her death 'peaceful'?! " His laughter become louder.
At this Kisame joined in with his laughter, making the man stop his laughter in a split second. " You're such a fool. If I wanted her to have a painful death, I could of killed her with my Samehade. " His laughter died down to a sadistic chuckle. " If I used Samehade, she would of had a very slow... and painful death. A death so pain, her voice box would of busted from screaming so much, but her silence wouldn't mean she was no longer in any way, or that much closer to death for that matter. "
So since Uchiha Itachi thought every thing was flawed in its own way, he never liked anything. He never held any thing with respect, or thought things with value. And he really didn't like sayings.
" But since my partner here doesn't like senseless killings and deaths, I decided to do the nice thing and let her have a painless death. " Kisames' sharp teeth shoned brightly in the small amount of light the moon gave through a window.
" If he doesn't like senseless killings, then why kill her? Her death was sense-- "
In an instant, Itachi had the man pinned against a wall with his hand gripping his neck tightly. " Apparently you weren't listenng to me. Her death was a warning, so it wasn't senseless. " Itachi added more force to his grip.
The man continued to claw at Itachis' hand, trying his best to make him loosen his grip on his neck. Slowly, the man stopped his struggle and started chuckling... or chuckle as best as he could. " Go ahead and kill me. " He spat out. " Might as well. If you don't, I will just end up telling every thing I know about you Akatsuki to Konoha. "
Because Uchiha Itachi was always able to find something wrong with them. Such as 'Sticks and stones may break my bones, but words will never harm me', Uchiha Itachi was able to prove that saying wrong with a single word. The same with 'Early to bed, early to rise, because the early bird catches the worm', he thought it would be better to get the 'worm' way before any one decided to 'get it'.
Itachi did nothing but stare at the man, while Kisame laughed loudly then smirked. " Boy, you really are a dumb ass who doesn't listen, huh? " Kisame got up from his crouching position and dusted the front of his coat off. " If you were listening to me, you would of heard me say we were letting you live because only you can get us some special information. And if you were listening to my partner, then you would of heard him say the next warning won't be so peaceful. "
The man coughed up blood while still laughing. " The only thing you could do to me now is by taking my life. "
" Please don't take us as fools. " Itachi said calmly. " Taking your death would have no meaning other then the fact that we would be doing the world a favor by getting rid of a piece of trash. " His grip tightened while his eyes narrowed. " And next time, listen to our words. Your death wouldn't be considered a warning. "
" Dumb ass. " Kisame chuckled in the back ground.
" Then what else can you do? Burn down my house? My shop? Break every bone in my body? GO AHEAD! I DON'T CARE ANY MORE! " He shouted, causing blood to shoot from his mouth onto Itachi's face.
Kisame chuckled again in the back ground. " Ahhh-ha-ha-ha... dumb ass. " He backed few feet away from them.
And even though Uchiha Itachi was one that didn't have 'emotions', he him self hated one particular saying with a passion more then the other idiotic sayings he's ever heard...
" As I've said before, Uron... don't take us as fools. We know of your children. " Itachi stated as he wiped away Uron's blood from his cheek with his free hand.
Uron's eyes widened at those last five simple words Itachi said.
" We know that you have been 'unfaithful' to your wife. Oh my apologizes, I mean you wereunfaithful to your wife. " Itachi stated once again in a bored-tone.
" H...how did y-you know a-about t-them? " Uron asked dumb-founded.
" As cliche' as this sounds, we have our ways. " Kisame said in the back ground with a grin and shake of the head.
" I was never unfaithful to my wife! I love her with every fiber of my being! But she was unable to have kids and I really needed to-- "
Itachi pressed Uron against the wall harder, his hand tightening. " You don't have to try and preach your pathetic excuses to us so you can seem like a good guy. We don't care what or who you did. "
Uron gritted his teeth.
" But back to my current sentence, we know where your children are, and we can get to them in less then 2 minutes. That means they'll be 2 minutes away from their death. " His sentence came swiftly, as if he was talking about doing such a normal thing like saying how long it'll take to make tea. Not threatening to kill innocent children.
" NO! You already took my wife away from me, don't take my children too! Please! I'll do anything you want, just leave them out of this! " Uron choked out as more blood shot out of his mouth.
Because the saying it self proved it had many flaws...Uchiha Itachi dealt with its flaws first hand...
Kisame walked back towards Itachi and Uron with a smug grin on his features. " Do you promise to be a good little boy and do every thing and any thing the Akatsuki ask you to do? And not be an idiot and try to tell Konoha of our plans? " Kisame asked for Itachi since he knew Itachi doesn't like to talk all that much. He knows he only likes to talk to make a point, or if he really needs to.
" Yes, yes! I promise! Just don't hurt them! " And with that, Itachi dropped Uron by releasing his hold on his throat. Uron fell down to the ground with a hard 'thud'. Once he hit the hard ground, Uron immediately wrapped his hand around his neck, in an attempt to stop some of the throbbing pain he felt from where Itachi was gripping it tightly, and to also to stop from sobbing once his wife's head came back into view.
Kisame crouched in front on the semi-sobbing man, his grin still ever present. " Good boy. Oh, and don't try to pull anything stupid. We have some one watching over them as we speak. So if you try to move them out of the village so they can be in a... 'safer place', don't. You'll only make things worse for you and your brats. And if you don't trust our threat, if you think we're bluffing, then go ahead and try to flee with them. We'll just slowly kill them off... one by one, " his words came a little above a mocking whisper. " until you know for sure that we're not joking around here. "
" I said I'd do anything! " The man spat out. " Just don't threaten them again. " He said through gritted teeth. " I already lost the love of my life, I cannot bare to lose my children too. "
" Then don't give us a reason to 'threaten' them again. " Itachi said in a mono-tone. " Its as simple as that. "
" And you know what they say always, buddy-boy. " Kisame grunted as he got up from his crouching position. " ' It's better to have loved and lost, then to have never loved at all. ' "
Itachi's left eye twitch slightly, though it looked as if his eye never moved at all. " Lets go, Kisame. " Itachi turned on his heels swiftly with grace, his cloak making an almost whipping noise by the sudden movement as he started to walk towards the half broken door, with Kisame following him behind him shortly. With a quick pause, Itachi turned his head to the right slightly so Uron can hear him. " Have the information we need by night fall in 3 days-- "
Urons' eyes widened. " 3 Days?! Are you kidding me?! That's impossible! No one would be able to even get there from here in 3 days, let alone-- "
" Just for interrupting me, and being pathetic, I want you to have the information ready in 2 days. And for each day that passes, we will start to kill your children off. Starting with the youngest. Understand? " Itachi said in his normal bored tone of voice, yet Uron heard the deadly threat in his voice. " Oh, and don't try to go to Konoha for help again like you did last time. If you even set a single step in the direction of where Konoha is, or look in its direction, the person we have tracking you will inform the little spy that's watching your children through nanocommunication, and the little spy will have to kill your children for you being a fool. " With his last threat said, Itachi continued walked out of the blooded house.
" F-Fine... 2-2 days it i-is. " Uron said through tightly clenched teeth.
" If you said 3 days is impossible for you to get the information, then you better start now if you plan on finishing in 2 days. " Kisame's bright teeth shining from the moons reflection. " And don't worry, " Kisame waved his hand sheepishly as he started to follow Itachi. " I have faith in you. " Pure sarcasm was dripping off every word, making Kisame bark out in laughter.
After a few moments passed as the 2 missing-nin started leaving the small darkened village in silence, Kisame thought of a question.
" Hey so do you think he's actually going to stick to his word this time? He did make a promise like that last time. "
" Wither he does or not, doesn't concern me. If he wants to be foolish and risk his children's life, then so be it. We'll get our information another way. "
" Yeah, yeah. " Kisame rotated his left shoulder blade, earning a few pops and cracks. " But why did we have to go through all of that trouble anyways? I mean, we already killed the brats, so why did we have to tell him they were alive, and in order to stay alive he needed to get the information A.S.A.P? And also that he was the only one to get the information? "
" What better way to get revenge for betraying us, by making the one who betrayed you do every thing in their power to save what's precious to them? Once he's done getting the information, and its in our hands, we'll kill him. That way, we'll have the information, and he'll have paid dearly for his betrayal towards our organization. " Itachi picked up his pace as they started to enter a thick forest. " And for your other question, it was best to let him think that he's the only one who can help us with our little 'problem'. Think of it as a... test, to see if he'll try to use that against us or not. "
" Sheesh, and here I thought you didn't like pointless killing. " Kisame said with a sigh as he too, picked up his pace.
" I don't like pointless killings. How ever, to make a point isn't pointless. " Itachi stated in a mono-tone. " Besides, what are you complaining about? I thought you liked 'fresh meat' ((A/N: I know that sounded bad, but I meant it in a killing way, not in a... pedophile way. xD )). "
" I do. But I was just wondering what the point was. " He sighed again. " Anyways, what if he goes to check on his brats and finds them dead? "
" Once again, wither he does or not, doesn't concern me. If he does, then the spy we have watching over the house will kill him in an instant, and we'll still get our information from our other source. If he stays away from the house, then we'll still get our information from him, but it'll be that much sweeter to get. " Itachi jumped up onto a tree branch in a crouching position with little effort.
Kisame then jumped on the same branch shortly after Itachi landed on it.
" And why the hell are you asking so many questions? Didn't Deidara fill you in on our mission briefing? "
" Yeah well... I tuned him out. You know how his voice gets. And I really can't stand all of his 'Yeah's and 'Un's at the end of each of his sentences. So basically I was just going along with what ever you said and did. "
Itachi scoffed silently. " Smart... " He then stood up straight as he closed his eyes to give his blurred vision and aching eyes a short rest in the sweet/relieving darkness behind his eye lids.
" You know, " Kisames' voice interrupted Itachi's little rest. " I always wanted to say that. "
Though he knew Kisame knew he didn't care, he went ahead and asked anyway. " Say what? " Itachis' voice held boredom mixed with annoyance. His eyes opening once again.
" 'Its better to have loved and lost, then to have never loved at all.' As stupid as it sounds, I always wanted to say that to a broken man. " Kisames' grin returned.
Itachi's eye twitched again, and once again, Kisame wasn't able to tell. " Hn. Lets go. " With that, Itachi sped off at a little bit slower then his highest speed with Kisame following behind him.
Yes... The saying is 'stupid'. Is it really better to have loved and lost, then to have never loved before? The answer: No, it isn't. Because in reality, if you lose the one you love, you'll fall into a state of sadness. Then the sadness will turn to depression, and depression will turn into bitterness, and bitterness will turn into anger, and anger will turn into hatred. You'll end up hating the person you once loved. Hate them for leaving you. Hate them for leaving you alone in the world. Hate them for breaking you. Hate them for making you weak. Hate them for putting you into sadness, depression, bitterness, anger, and hate. Hate them... for making you hate them, when you loved them so much, once upon a time ago. So... is it really better to have loved and lost, then to have never loved before? The answer:
" ...No... "
" Did you just say something? " Kisame's loud voice was heard behind Itachi.
Itachi sighed in annoyance with a slight shake of his head.
The reason, or better yet, the Person why Uchiha Itachi actually dealt with the sayings flaws, dealt with the flaws way worse then any other man before, was because of none other then, Hyuuga Hinata.
AN: Please read if you are a fan of my other 2 FanFicts! I know I haven't posted a chapter for my FanFicts Open Up and Lotus Patch (Which are both HinaxSasu Ficts by the way, for those who haven't read my other FanFicts and are only ItacxHina fans). I still haven't even started on a chapter for either story because I've been so busy playing MapleStory with my brother and his friends, so I feel real bad about that, so that's why I'm posting this. I originally wanted to save this story until I finish Lotus Patch so I wouldn't have to worry about updating it and blah, blah, blah, but I thought I should put something out for all of you guys and stuff. Now... Since this story will be my third one, I'm not sure when I'll be getting around to updating it. How ever! I do have a little bit of the chapter written, so the next chapter for this one might be out sooner then the others. Sorry all of you Open Up/Lotus Patch fans!
AN2: I know this chapter doesn't seem interesting at all, but I promise, in the later chapters, it will (Hopefully it will be interesting to you all). If I get alot of good reviews for this story and keep it, well, I have so much good ideas in my head right now! I'm sure the story will keep you all on your toes! So I hope people do want me to keep it.
Ok! So anyways, I know there wasn't any Hinata (cough except for her name being mentioned cough) in this chapter, but I promise, she'll be in the next one!
Anyways, I came up with this idea for the FanFict from a Samurai X AMV. The line 'Is it really better to have loved and lost, then to have never loved before?' came from the AMV 'Samurai X Trust' (Awesome AMV by the way, if you're a Rurouni Kenshin/Samurai X fan, watch it). When I read it, I was like 'Oh snap... that's a good question.' Because Itachi's 'opinion' I had added in the FanFict, was actually my response to the question, and then I thought, 'Hmm... That would be a good plot for a ItacxHina FanFict! So... yeah. xD
Anyways, please tell me what you think about it so far. If I get alot of reviews, then I'll most likely make this FanFict a 'Long' story. If not, then I'll most likely just turn this into a 'Long One Shot', which would be about... 2 or 3 chapters long. Maybe more. Depends on how I put every thing together.
