BOOM! Thunder bellowed overhead and rain slammed against the roof like a taiko drummer. You open a sleepy eye to stare blankly at the ceiling. Then your vision moved to the clock. 4:00 A.M. You sighed and rolled over on the bed. You were wrapped up in blankets like a cocoon. Over on the couch a jounin was in a deep slumber his mask still covering his face. Your white hair fell lazily in your face and you brushed it behind your ears. Sleep still grasped your consciousness as you struggled to stay awake. Then with one last ounce of determination you pulled yourself up and yawned. Kakashi didn't stir as your bare feet touched the hard wood floor. A chill went up your spine but you stood up. The wood creaked loudly and you quickly looked at Kakashi. He didn't move. A smirk played from under your mask as you now glided silently over the floor. You got dressed and slipped your feet into your sandals. Your eyes searched through the darkness for your sword. You couldn't see it.
What the hell
You whisper as you walked to another room. Clumsily you hit an object
and a bang seemed to echo and drag on in the silence. Kakashi still
didn't move. A sigh escaped your lips and Kakashi jolted up from the
couch. You made a hand seal and disappeared.
"Damn that was
close..." You whispered while you took a step on the rooftops
and slipped falling on your butt. You sit there in the rain letting
it drench your clothes. Then you lie back and stare up into the
darkness.
"What are you doing out here?" A voice asked.
You looked up and saw Kakashi looming over you.
"Getting some
fresh air." You replied
"Your gonna catch a
cold..."
"Your point?"
"You'll be sick."
He said.
"Being sick doesn't matter, besides I love the
rain."
"Why?"
"You ask to many questions."
You snapped losing your nice attitude. He raised an eyebrow but
backed away as your eyes glinted with an icy stare. He went inside as
drops hit your face and rolled down your skin.
"I like the
rain... Because no one can see me cry..." You whispered and
closed your eyes. Falling into a deep sleep.
~Flashback~
It
was a sunny day in Konoha. Birds were chirping and the sakura petals
were dancing in the air. It was the festival and everyone was there.
A young girl with short white hair looked around timidly. Her yellow
eyes couldn't catch sight of anyone. She wore a beautiful black
kimono with silver and royal blue petals. Her sandals clicked against
the ground as she scanned the area.
"Mitsukai there you are"
A male voice called. Her body spun around and a smile lit up on her
face. A dark haired boy with a black sweatshirt with Uchiha symbol
stood behind Mitsukai.
"I knew you'd make it." She said
giving the boy a hug. He said nothing but returned the hug.
"Oi! Itachi!" Mitsukai's brother yelled. "I still find it creepy that you love my little sister so keep it all to a minimum while I'm around so I don't feel like punching you!" Just because her brother had said that Itachi lifted Mitsukai's chin and began kissing her slowly but sweetly his tongue asked for entrance into the girls' mouth and she complied easily. After a few seconds he began to pull away they watched the rest of the festival and then Itachi took Mitsukai up to a little park that had a sakura tree they talked and hugged and just sat there for a few hours then he took her home. Mitsukai invited Itachi in and it was already late so he slept over. As Mitsudai crawled into bed she heard a knock on her door.
"Yes?" She asked timidly.
The door opened to
reveal a half naked Itachi she was able to easily see his muscles on
his stomach and arms. Mitsukai lifted up an arm that was holding her
blankets completely forgetting she was only in her underwear. Itachi
received a small nosebleed but walked towards her and got into her
bed she hugged him close, his back pressing against her chest and
with that they fell asleep.
~End Flashback~
you opened your
eyes it had stopped raining, and the clouds were moving away to
reveal the sun who had finally won the fight. You sat up your clothes
sticking to your body; you looked around and saw people in the
streets putting their umbrellas away. You saw the team that had
brought you to he village. Uzimaki Naruto... His charka is
amazing... Haruno Sakura, She's pathetic if you ask me... But does
have good potential in genjutsu... Uchiha Sasuke... I wonder if you
can lead me to 'him'. You thought. You had only met these
three yesterday, but you could tell allot of things just by looking
at someone. You stood up making the seal for the horse and tiger.
Flames circled your body and you were dry.
"I can't believe
you stayed out in the rain." You turned around to see the silver
haired jounin staring at you.
"Do you have to stare?"
You ask
"No, no. Anyways As soon as you eat Tsunade wanted to
see you." Kakashi said still standing there. You raised an
eyebrow at him.
"I must stay with you since it's Tsunade's orders." He said.
You gave an irritated sigh.
"Find a place to
eat. I'll find you later." He said with a smile under his
mask.
You smiled as he left and jumped into the street. Again
people stared at you. You ignored them dashed forward to find a good
place to get some breakfast. Your stomach growled angry with you. Man
I hate this! I haven't eaten in days... That stupid guy led me all
the way back to Konoha and now I need to start my search all over
again. You thought. You found a nice little spot close to the
gates of Konoha. Sitting on one of the stools you waited patiently as
the waiter came to you.
"What will it be missy?" He
asked
"Herbal Tea, and miso soup." You answer,
"You
must be on a diet right cutie?" You narrowed your eyes on him
and seemed to growl. This guy sure knew how to insult a woman.
"Give
me what I order, or I'll slit your throat." You said coldly. He
backed away and quickly got you your order. You took a sip of the tea
and began eating your soup.
"It's that assassin woman that we
caught yesterday." You heard an annoying voice say. You didn't
even need to turn to look. You new it was Naruto.
"Naruto, we
didn't catch her... She kind of just went with us willingly."
Sakura said
"Yeah bonehead... Now let's go to the training
grounds." Sasuke said emotionlessly. He's starting to act
like him now... You thought and looked with sad eyes in your
soup.
"Oi! I'm sure there was a reason let me go ask!" You look up to see the blonde running towards you.
"Oi! Little boy!" You yelled to Naruto.
"Hey I'm not a little boy and I came here to ask you something!"
You sighed at his retort and nodded. "What?" You asked lazily.
"Why did I willingly come here?" you sighed.
"Ye-Yeah…" Naruto replied as he stopped in front of your table. You lift up an arm and put it on his shoulder.
"I came to make one man suffer…" I stated.
"Oi! Baka! Get over
here!" Sasuke yelled. If I don't leave soon I might end up
hurting Sasuke. You flipped a gold coin on the table and got
up.
"Going somewhere?" You turned and saw Kakashi. "I
thought I told you to wait here and not leave."
"Oopsy,
I guess I forgot." You said with an innocent smile. Kakashi
sighed and grabbed your arm pulling you all the way to Tsunade's
office.
"Did she give you any trouble Kakashi?" Tsunade
asked as soon as they stepped through the door.
"No."
Kakashi answered.
"Good, now you may leave and go train your
team. I'd like to ask Kutsuu more questions." Kakashi nodded and
left. You looked at the woman and sat down without being asked.
"We'll start where we left off. Now tell me what you know about
Itachi. He's visited our village and caused some trouble here."
"So
he has been here... I guess me coming back wasn't a waste after all."
You said staring up at the ceiling ignoring the Hokage's stare.
"What
do you mean by that?"
"Well, I'm searching for
Itachi-kun..." You replied,
"Why are you searching for
him? Are you planning on killing him?" She questioned
"You
sure ask allot of questions. But I'll answer these two for you. No I
am not planning on killing Itachi. I am searching for him because he
made me suffer and I shall return the favor." You said in
anything other then a nice and gentle tone. You stood up straight
seeing that Tsunade had your blade. Walking forward you snatched it
up and made a hand seal being the Hokage could stop you, you
disappeared into the air and reappeared on one of the many rooftop of
Konoha. You reached the gates and looked back. If Itachi didn't
leave that long ago there is still time. I can still catch him.
You thought jumping the gate and zigzagging around the trees.
The
wind whipped your hair back you had to leave. Your inner demon was
starting to bubble. You couldn't be the nice person you once were.
Mitsukai... Why are you running? Are you scared? Your pathetic,
I always have to do all the fighting, you just run away like the
coward you are! An evil voice echoed in your mind. You're
not going to find him! He doesn't care for you anymore. That's why he
hurt you and abandoned you there. That's why you became an
assassin!
I became an assassin so I could prove to him
I'm not weak. He called me that, and insulted me. I will prove him
wrong and make him pay for it. He may have been stronger then me
then. But not now! You shouted in your mind. The demon was quiet
and you continued your run. You crossed the place were Kakashi's team
had found you. The bodies were half eaten by animals, a smile came
across under your mask.
~At the AKASUKI base~
"There's
been word all over the villages of an assassin. She's been
slaughtering millions of ninjas making the villages weak, and she's
been spotted leaving Konoha." A dark voice explained. "Itachi,
Kisame you two will go and get this 'Assassin'. I want to see her for
myself." In the shadows two people moved into the light. One was
Uchiha Itachi the other was Hoshigaki Kisame. They left without a
word to find this assassin.
