Chapter 2: Pain and Spilled Blood

Itsuka slowly opened her eyes she was laying on her bed and she was feeling a little bit better after talking with her brother. She was still feeling depressed after the loss of her first child but of course who could blame her. Married or not it was painful to lose a life growing inside of you.

'I wish this wouldn't have happened to me.' She thought and started to cry in silence.

She felt her tears fell down her cheeks and then unto the bed. Itachi walked back inside her room to check up on her. He saw her crying so he decided to leave her alone until she was done with her mourning.

'Imoto-chan I wish I could help you right now but I don't know how to do so.' He thought when he came across Deidara.

Itachi simply walked past the clay artist and said no words. Deidara simply shrugged and looked in the direction where Itachi came from he figured that it was the room where his twin was being kept.

'I hear she is very popular with the men in her village perhaps a bit to popular by normal standards according to Itachi-danna.' Deidara thought with a grin.

Itsuka walked out of her room and looked at Deidara with a serious face she wasn't in the mood for banter and her eyes communicated her thoughts clearly. Deidara gulped upon seeing her intense onyx eyes but he didn't say anything the last thing he wanted was to have the life choked out of him since he had heard she used her hair as whips and she could control it with her mind so at the slightest misstep with her it could mean your death.

"Are you feeling better Uchiha-chan?" He asked just to be on the safe side.

Itsuka didn't remove her sights from him she simply answered with a half smile and walked past him as she did so she bumped with his arm. Deidara turned around around and looked at Itsuka as she closed her eyes in which he saw the tears that still had not fallen.

"I'm a bit better thanks for asking." She finally replied and left.

Deidara felt his cheeks burn again at her presence he didn't know why but she was having a very alluring effect on him without even noticing. He gulped as he kept staring at her backside which she somehow noticed and turned around looking at him annoyed.

"Quit staring at me I have enough of that in Konohagakure." She whispered looking at him with her carmine red eyes.

Deidara gulped at the sight of her sharingan staring at him willing to kill him at any moment. She smirked and walked away not knowing that Deidara was about to flare up brighter than a firework's display.

'What's with men these days.' She thought with a sigh.

Itsuka walked around the halls of the Akatsuki when she saw her brother talking with Kisame.

"Oniisan why did you peek into my room if you were not going to get in, I found that annoying." She said with a sad face.

Itachi motioned Kisame to leave and turned to his sister and looked at her seriously. Itsuka looked at him without blinking she remained staring at him with her sharingan eyes.

"Deactivate your sharingan you do not need to use it here." He said looking at her.

"Why don't you deactivate yours you are the one that is more at risk to end up blind." She replied as her eyes slowly returned to their normal onyx color.

Itachi closed his eyes and sighed in defeat this always happened she had a great way with words and she used it to her very advantage. Itsuka smiled and removed her brother's forehead protector and planted a soft kiss upon his forehead making him smile a bit at the gesture that he had almost forgotten.

"You still have lips as soft as silk imoto-chan." Itachi whispered as she smiled at him.

"Oniichan I guess your right maybe that's why I'm so popular in Konohagakure." She replied.

Then Itsuka walked away and decided to explore the place when she came across one of the members but she had not seen this one before. He had a body resembling a Venus fly trap and his face had two sides to it. One black and the other light she wasn't surprised by his appearance, after all having seen Kisame who resembled a shark more than a human.

"Who are you miss?" Asked the person.

"My name is Uchiha Itsuka I'm Itachi's twin sister." Itsuka replied.

"I'm Zetsu." His light side said and left.

Itsuka quirked an eyebrow Zetsu was not even weird he was downright creepy.

'What will I come across now people with demon wings.' She thought.

As she kept walking she started to hear whispers calling out to her. She immediately guessed it as the bijuu wanting to speak up. So she walked in the direction that the whispers came from and saw a sealed door when she touched it her hand went right through it.

"What are you doing here Uchiha-san?"

Itsuka turned around and saw Pein she looked at him as he would normally look at somebody in her own rank not above.

"They called me they need someone to talk to it seems." She replied looking at the door.

"The only way to to open this door is by spilling blood from the palm of your hand or wrist into that small pedestal." Pein explained and slit his wrist he then let the blood fall on the pedestal.

Itsuka looked at him surprised he had a cold and calculating manner and it disturbed her a bit but not enough to scare her which was an almost impossible task the only time she felt genuinely scared it was when Itachi destroyed the whole Uchiha clan and then did what he did to her. After that Itsuka didn't get scared except in the presence of her brother for fear he would harm her again.

"Pein-sama you're bleeding to much." Itsuka said looking at him with concern.

"It will be alright now you have to get in." He replied holding his wrist tightly.

Itsuka nodded and walked inside the room she saw different seals representing the bijuu. At first glance she noted Shukaku.

"I was wondering how you were after being extracted from your host." Itsuka said looking at his seal.

"I feel miserable my lady." He replied.

"You were very used to Gaara's smug attitude I take, even though he died when they took you away from his body he was brought back to life by Chiyo." Itsuka said touching the seal.

Shukaku growled bit upon hearing this but he spoke again.

"My lady you seem to lack your demon energy was Izuna taken away from you?"

"No Izuna left on his own he went back to his home although it appears that he left me his power of healing."

"He wasn't an actual bijuu, rather a protective spirit." Shukaku said randomly.

"I just hope that I never have to see the Kyuubi here because I know I'll be crying to no end." She said thinking of Naruto's safety.

"Lady Itsuka you should leave before Pein bleeds to death." Shukaku said making her laugh.

"Alright sleep tight Shukaku I just hope you don't get the urge to talk when I'm sleeping or you'll regret it." Said Itsuka and left once stepping out of the door she saw Pein.

She walked to him and then took his wrist in her hand and brought it up to her lips. Pein looked at her and saw amazed as the wound healed.

"There you go Pein-sama arigato for opening the door." Itsuka said with a gentle smile and then left.

Pein didn't say anything he just looked in the direction Itsuka had disappeared into and smiled to himself. But he had better things to do than think about women right now what mattered to him was that the bijuu were kept quiet for extended periods of time. And she had just shut up Shukaku the most talkative of the bijuu which was a tremendous plus.

'Boy, what are people here semi suicidal?' Itsuka thought with a questioning look haunting her onyx eyes.

As she meditated on this thoughts her mind drifted to Kakashi and her greatest mistake sleeping with him and get pregnant. She would have wanted to keep the child but it wasn't possible that bitch Anko hit her straight in the stomach causing her to start bleeding and consequently lose her unborn.


'I'll kill her I'll burn her to a cinder or rip her to pieces with my hair.' She thought with scowl when none other than Anko walked in.

"What do you want Anko didn't you cause me enough pain already." Itsuka said darkly.

"Yeah I did after all who told you to sleep with a married man specifically my husband." Anko replied calmly as Itsuka started to issue orders to her hair.

Anko noticed the erratic movements of the hair and her eyes went wide open in fear. Itsuka grabbed her with her hair and lifted her to the ceiling directly above her.

"Let me go Itsuka this is not funny."

"Eye for an eye and tooth for a tooth Anko, and in this case your life for my child's." Itsuka replied.

At that moment Tsunade walked in and saw the death spectacle that was to unfold and put a stop to it.

"Itsuka stop this madness you'll only get yourself into trouble."

"My child was killed by her and I'm supposed to sit here here and do nothing." Itsuka screamed as Anko was dropped to the floor.

Tsunade looked at Itsuka sternly to which the young Uchiha simply smirked and then laid back on the bed. She was really angry but that didn't stop her from obeying her Hokage. Anko looked at Itsuka and then left hastily this was not going to stay like this.

"What happened Itsuka you don't usually lose your cool like this?" Tsunade asked placing a hand on Itsuka's forehead.


Itsuka shook her head distraught she was still wondering what possessed her to act in such a fashion and in the hospital where everybody could see the blood and gore. She walked towards the room she was staying in, as she reached the door she saw Itachi leaning against the wall.

"You are very quiet usually you sing or hum when you walk." Itachi said without looking.

"Everything changes oniichan to sadly for me everything changed for the worst when Kakashi impregnated me." She replied as tears streamed down her cheeks.

Itachi looked at his sister and brought her close to his chest so she could cry freely. When they were younger this was a great way to comfort her and it still seemed to have the same effect because she knew no matter how hard she cried her brother would never make fun of her this would make her feel safe and she would pretty much stop crying afterwards.

"Imoto you have been under too much emotional stress and you don't want to talk to me about the things that happened after you lost your child." Itachi whispered,

"Fine I tried to kill Anko in the hospital." Itsuka replied taking that of her chest.

At that moment Deidara walked by and saw the adorable sibling scene. He said nothing he just walked past but he tripped with the train of her kimono this caused him to fall flat on his face.

"Deidara-san daijobu?" Itsuka asked helping him up.

As he stood up Deidara couldn't help but to steal a glance at her breasts which made his cheeks heat up as Itsuka looked at him with a worried expression. She placed a hand on his forehead making his body temperature rise even higher.

"You seem to have a fever Deidara-san." Itsuka noted and removed her hand carefuly as his cheeks returned to their normal color.

"Hai I got caught in the rain un." He replied vaguely.

Itsuka looked at him with a small smile and sent him on his way. Once he was out of earshot Itachi spoke up.

"He has a crush on you Itsuka I've been noticing that." Itachi said with a small smile.

"Huh are you sure he just seems normal to me." Itsuka said in a playful tone.

"Don't play dumb with me Uchiha Itsuka." Itachi said and poked her forehead.

Itsuka made a face and then shook her head with a smile. Itachi let out a small laugh and gave his sister a pinch on her cheek.
