Chapter Two:
The girl with forest green locks ran through the sea of trees. She had a smirk upon her face as she ran way from the Akatsuki that were tailing her. Why are they after me? she thought.
Itachi could see the girls cloak flapping behind her. His ears could pick up the sounds from it as well. Which was a good thing for them because all they had to do was keep an ear out for her. Bits of her dark forest green hair was flowing as the wind took it. Itachi saw the girl making an effort to lose them. Because all of a sudden, she just disappeared. Itachi slightly growled as he cursed, "Where's that wench..." Cold ice dripped from Itachi's voice.
Up in the trees as she began to jump across branch to branch, she looked back. She didn't see them tailing her anymore. Which meant that they either gave up. Or they were thinking of the plan to capture her. She stopped for a moment and let her digits touch the tree bark. It was rough and bumpy as her smooth skin touched it. She pressed her finger tips more into the bark of the tree, to the point where she saw blood dripping down the tree. She could feel the warm liquid flow down and spider web down her palm. She only gave a creepy smile to the blood dripping down. "I don't sense them..." she whispered to herself in that hazy tone.
Itachi, Kisame, and Deidara walked on the forest floor. Everything was silent, not even the steps of the small Akatsuki group could be heard. Their feet had lightly tapped onto the grass. Kisame began to sniff the air slightly as a tangy scent came to his nose. "I can smell blood." He said.
"Where..." Itachi asked tonelessly.
The shark hybrid took another good wiff of the air. He closed his shark like optics, and then looked up. "It's coming from up there." His blue finger pointed up into the trees.
"Good, then we can get this brat, yeah?" Deidara said with a grin plastered on his face.
The girl clutched on to the cloak, like if she were clutching on to her heart. She took in deep breaths trying to catch her air. Not only did she suffer from a mental illness, but she also suffered from aphysical illness. It wasn't lung cancer, but it was something as simple as asthma. Remembering what the doctors said, 'Exercise helps build up your lungs' that was bullshit for her. She took in another deep breath as she finally was able to gain her normal breathing. She couldn't run fast for very long distances. It was too much for her. She sensed something, their chakra. She furrowed her eyebrows, "How troublesome..." she muttered. Her hazy tone was low and deep yet it held a feminine tonein it as well.
The cloaks of black and red clouds stuck out like sore thumbs up in the trees. The hues of green and brown did not blend with the colors of the Akatsuki cloaks. The troubled girl sort of had an advantage of blending. Her hair was the color of the leaves that looked in the shade... which was a pretty dark green. "Some where around here." Kisame spoke, "The blood is still there, but it isn't as strong."
Itachi nodded his head and his sharingan eyes of crimson scanned the area. He smirked when he spotted the girl. "There she is, about time." Itachi spoke annoyed and in that obviously pissed off tone.
The girl just stood there, staring at the Akatsuki. She wasn't running away, not yet. She just stood there, "What do you want me to do..." she whispered to herself.
Was this girl actually talking to herself? Itachi slightly raised an eyebrow. There was a silence creeping in the air. The girl with dark green forest hair nodded her head. She closed her calming emerald optics, then opened them. They held a crazy maniac killer look in them. The look of a truely mentally challenged person. She went forward with her charge, black cloak flapping in the wind. Her hand was out and she swiped at the blonde. He jumped back on to another tree branch. "Ha!" Deidara spoke.
The girl smirked, "Look again..." Her voice was in a dangerous tone.
"Ah... what's this, yeah?" Deidara spoke and he touched his stomach and felt a small trickle of his blood on the stomach of his Akatsuki cloak. He could also see a bit of a darker spot as well.
Itachi looked at her, No wonder... he thought.
The shark hybrid looked at her. He smirked as he took out the sword Samehada. "Kisame-san, go easy. Rei does want her alive..."
He nodded his head slightly. That toothy smirk upon his face. He lunged forward and started running after the girl. Who jump up to dodge his attack. But she found it hard to do so. That sword was rather large, and the girl wasn't that fast enough to dodge that attack. But after she could take in more of Kisame's movements, she could dodge easier. "Behind me!" She shouted hazily.
The elder Uchiha had came up behind her with a kunai in his hand. He went to stab it in her arm. But the girl with forest green locks twisted her body strangely and dodged the kunai attack. Itachi's crimson eyes slightly widened in surprise. But of course, that stone face hid that surprised feature pretty well. She performed a couple of hand signs as her fist began to glow a black aura around it. Then it wrapped around her fist turning into a shining black ice. "Ice fist!"
She went to attack the Uchiha's side, but with his speed he dodged her attack. Then he looked behind him and saw the girl right behind him, like a shadow. He saw that look on her face... that made him a bit doubtful and scared inside. But he didn't show it... because he didn't have the ability to show fear, just the cold face. Itachi felt a sharp pain on his side as he was sent flying into a tree. Something told him that, she was holding back... a lot. Deidara saw this chance to jump in. The clay master molded a clay spider and he sent them flying at the girl. He made the hand sign to send the spider into an explosive bomb, and blow the girl back to knock her out. But all of a sudden they were sent back to him with a thing of black ice heading his way. Deidara had seen the damage caused to Itachi when he got hit with that black ice fist. So, Deidara jumped up and dodged it. "Whoa! what the hell, yeah?"
Deidara was slightly frightened when in a blink of an eye... she was there right behind him! He jumped forward like a scurrying mouse getting away from a cat as she went to go attack him. "Dammit Kisame, attack the brat, un!" He retorted.
"Fuck, keep your pants on!" Kisame rolled his eyes.
The shark hybrid lunged towards her again, and went to attack the girl. She barely dodged it again. But soon enough she began to make swift movement just enough to make her look like she was invisible. Kisame glanced over to Itachi, who was obviously building up enough strength to capture her. That blow must have really gotten to Itachi-san... Kisame thought.
He wasn't paying attention, so a fist flew in his face, and an elbow jabbed into his stomach. He could feel the pain curling up in his insides. He narrowed his eyes in the mind streaking pain. Just like the Uchiha, he met the same fate. His back slammed into a tree. He was knocked out from the impact of the blow. His head lolled down.
Deidara began to grow worried. Itachi was over there gathering his strength, the shark hybrid was passed out... and here the clay master was standing in front of some psychotic brat. The girl licked her lips hungrily. Her slick tongue leaving a moist wet trail on her lips. She was thirsty for that red tangy blood. She wanted it to spill all over that face of hers. She was going to make Deidara her pray for that. "Itachi-san, hurry up... yeah?" He shouted a bit desperately.
Uchiha Itachi had his teeth clenched. So... this girl was really that strong. There was no doubt about that. But the girl was holding back, and so was he. Itachi might even have to use...it
Though, the elder Uchiha was skeptical about using it thought. It would take too much from his body... and further advance his vision being destroyed. He watched as Deidara sent another wave of this clay spiders. Some had latched onto the girls leg. She gave out this ear splitting shriek. Deidara was about to make the hand sign to make them explode. "Deidara-san, stop!" The Uchiha scolded.
That blue eye of Deidara looked to Itachi. Who was know standing tall and proud. The Uchiha continued to scold, "We want her alive. If you blow off a limb, she'll die from blood loss by the time we go back to the Akatsuki headquarters."
Deidara pouted, and made the spiders unlatch from the girl. Itachi jumped up onto the branch. He stood vertically across from the girl. The leaves began to rustle in the gentle breeze that was partaking in this later after noon now. Just from the little light that was able to escape into this dim forest, you could tell that the sun was setting over the horizon. Those orange hues mixed in the blue was clearly seen in the sky. Purples were also splashed into the array of colors. Itachi was building up strength to use his attack on the girl. But would it work, of course it would. The wind began to gently blow, taking the girls hair and black cloak into the wind. The leaves could be heard rustling more as the wind began to give off a more powerful blow. Itachi's black locks were slightly taken into the wind as his bangs were. That cloak of black and red clouds made the same flapping sound as the girls black cloak. "Well..." she spoke hazily.
The elder Uchiha could tell she began to grow impatient just standing there. She knew he was stalling as well. Because if he really wanted her dead, well... he would just come straight for her. Of course, hopefully with a tactic in mind. Someone would have to be stupid to just charge in like that. Just a bit more. Itachi thought.
I wonder what he's doing... the girl with forest green hair thought.
As she stood on the tree branch, her crazed glare was on Itachi's stone like gaze. Both stood there evenly just staring at each other from the distance they were in. Itachi's figure was taller than hers and more brooding as well. The girl slightly bit her lip to puncture it. She was in need of more blood shed, so she bit her lip. The red substance began to dribble down her chin. The drops would build up at the end and drip on to the branch she stood on. There was a small drip sound. After a couple more moments of that deadly silence, Uchiha Itachi made his attack. With on swift movement he had the girl pinned to the tree she was standing on. His cold gaze was now locked with those emerald oculus that held such a crazed look. With that, she was knocked out. Consumed into the darkness of the Tsukiyomi attack.
An: Ok, this chapter is out. If Tsukiyomi isn't spelled right I'm sorry. It's the way I found it spelt on a wallpaper I saw. So I spell it like that anyway, please reveiw.
