Chapter 2: If You Say Kill, Then I Kill

'You said if you could fly

You would leave all this far behind you

And soar off to the sky

So blue, so blue, that sky so blue

The sadness and pain that you've learnt me to feel

Are holding me tight

My prayers echo through night

If only I could tell these feelings to you with my words

But they choke me down so much it hurts

As you awake

From your dreamy state in to this world

So cruel and cold

You want to spread your wings and take off for a flight

You said if you could fly

You would leave all this far behind you

And soar off to the sky

So blue, so blue, that sky so blue

If there's a place for us, you'd take me with you

So blue, so blue, that sky so blue'

My voice carried off into the forest as we continued to walk.

It had been 2 months and we had been travelling around.

We didn't stop in any towns or any secret bases just wondered around.

Although I know he would never admit it, me and Tobi-sama had gained a fairly close relationship.

'Were did you here that song from?' he asked me as we walked making me grin.

'Kaa-chan sang it about a dream I had.' I smiled making him look at me quizzically… well at least I thought he was.

'What was this dream about?' he asked.

I smiled softly as I looked at the beautiful clear sky.

The sky I had been dreaming off for years. Even after seeing it every day for 2 months I still believed it was the most beautiful thing I had ever seen.

'I have it almost every night. The same dream. I'm staring up at the most beautiful blue sky and a man sits beside me. He has miss matched eyes and the most serene smile on his face. soon everything turns dark and I find myself locked in a cage. Every things dark, I'm cold and scared…..trapped….I look up to see the same man opening my cage and setting me free. When I step out I fall, as I look up I can't help but smile at the sky the same as the one from the beginning. The man then appears again in my dream as he catches me before I hit the earth. I use to be scared every time I fell, but now I know that my savior will always catch me.' I smiled fondly as I vivid picture floats in my mind.

Tobi-sama listens intently before he stands up grunting.

'It's time to move'

'Hai Tobi-Sama!'

2 yrs later (11 years old)

'Hekikū'

'Hai Tobi-sama.'

'I have a mission for you, this will be a test of your skill's do not make me remind you about the consequences if you fail.'

'Of course Tobi-sama!' I smiled as I stood up and followed after him.

It was extremely dark out, the only thing giving us light was the stars and moon.

I didn't really care what it is we did or were we go as long as I was by Tobi-sama's side.

We didn't go very far before the Towering walls of a village made their way into my sight. My eyes visibly widen once I had comprehended were we were.

'Tobi-sama why are we heading towards Konohagakure?'

'Because tonight you will help me eliminate the Uchiha clan. This is your mission.'

I stopped suddenly Frowning in confuion.

'is something wrong Hekikū?' his dark voice dared me to disobey him.

'Tobi-sama what do you mean by Eliminate?' I asked.

His words puzzled me. I had been on many missions before and never had he used such a term.

'I mean we will slaughter ever man, woman and child weather they are Shinobi or not. Do you have an issue with this?'

Again my eyebrows furrowed in confusion.

'Why would I have a problem with that? If Tobi-sama says to kill then I shall kill.' I said.

My Blue eyes met is eyes and there was a flash of something behind the usual cold iris.

Though what it was I did not know.

'Tobi-sama this clan is it the same one that-'

'Come Hekikū it is almost time to begin.'

If Tobi-sama didn't want to answer then I suppose that I was not meant to know.

'So you have come.'

A voice interrupted the peaceful silence.

I turned to see a boy not much older than me maybe about 12 or 13.

He had long black hair tied into a low ponytail and he wore a uniform that I was familiar with.

Instinctively I drew the katana on my back and flashed between the intruder and Tobi-sama.

Before the boy could blink I was bringing it down onto him.

'Hekikū stop.'

At those two words my muscles stopped halting the katana right over the boy's face.

'Hekikū this boy will be joining our cause his name is Uchiha Itachi. I expect you to be civil with him.' Tobi-sama spoke making my eye twitch slightly.

Quickly I replace my katana into its sheath and gave the boy a look over.

'Well if Tobi-sama has taken the time to meet you then you must be of some importance.'

I spoke as I stroked my chin in thought.

'My name is Uzumaki Hekikū.' I said nodding my head in his direction.

'Hekikū come it is time for your mission.'

'Hai Tobi-sama!' I grinned as I ran after him. Uchiha-san follow right next to me.

'Ne are you exited Uchiha-san! I am, this will be my first big mission for Tobi-sama! I can't wait!' I grinned trying to get to know this boy that Tobi-sama deemed worthy.

I could feel the cold glare coming from him making me look at him.

'How could you be exited to slaughter so many people?' Uchiha-san asked making me frown.

Puzzled I looked at the boy not understanding what he could mean.

'Ne? What's wrong with slaughtering? I do it all the time?...'

I saw his dark eyes widen as he looked towards me.

'Do you not feel remorse from killing innocent women and children?'

Again I was stumped.

'There is no such thing as innocent. I don't understand…. There is nothing wrong with what I do… right Tobi-sama?!' I said as I looked at the back of said man's head.

'There is much wrong with what you do Hekikū in the eyes of the world you would be considered a monster.' He chuckled darkly.

'But if it's for Tobi-sama then I don't care plus humans a gross, their all icky.' I said distastefully as I stuck my tongue out.

'Itachi-san Hekikū has not grown up the same way you have. She has been raise surrounded by murder. Now enough talk we are here.'

'Hekikū.'

'Hai!'

I already knew what he wanted me to do so without hesitation I wrapped my arms around his neck pressing my small body to Tobi-sama's back.

I had never seen so much blood as I did that night.

Children cried as I cut them down with my katana, woman screamed as I though a kunai into their head, and men charged angrily before they were beheaded from my blade.

I didn't make them suffer I preferred to give a clean and simple death with a small "thank you for your life". I understood that lives were precious but I did not understand why people found death so disturbing. It's just the next step in your journey.

Death is only the beginning dear Aoi tori (Blue bird)

I did not know much of my mother but her words of wisdom always stuck with me.

'Hekikū lets go.'

'Hai.'

Again I held onto Tobi-sama as he used Kumui to bring us back out of the village.

As I got down from Tobi-sama I was shocked to feel a large warm hand being placed on my hair.

'You did well Chīsana Aoi Tori (Little Blue Bird).'

I swore right then that no matter what I would always be there for Tobi-sama no matter what.
