You came to a halt ignoring the dry blood your sandals had kicked up with the dirt it clung to as you stopped. Now I need to get more information on where the Akasuki base is.... A few more jobs and I'll be able to pay that guy to tell me where to find it... You thought boredly flicking your hair in the ponytail. It was unusually quiet. The birds were silent and the annoying mosquitoes weren't near you. Your yellow eyes looked around for any sign of movement your ears listening for the slightest sound that would give the location of whatever was there. To your disappointment you didn't see or hear anything.
"Awe.... And I wanted some entertainment..." You whispered.
A snap echoed in your eardrums, which caught your attention immediately. A raccoon scurried away. Away from what? You got your answer as an ANBU from Konoha stepped out from behind a tree. You stared at his mask it resembled a duck to you. It was an ugly mask, which really bugged you. You had learned since becoming an assassin to live with grace and elegance. The mask this ANBU wore was against what you had learned. Ladrinne the woman who taught you who to fight... She would hate to see that mask... Let's kill this man and destroy that ugly creation... The demon spoke in your mind. You were taken by surprise. Never before had the demon wanted to destroy anything by the means of ugliness. It's just an excuse... She wants to kill... You concluded. The ANBU just stared at you.
"I never thought I'd see you again Mitsukai...." A voice spoke from under the mask. You immediately recognized it has an old friend. The ANBU pulled off her mask to reveal a blonde haired blue-eyed female. She stared at you with hate and disgust. "Who would have thought the defenseless Mitsukai would turn out to be a legendary assassin.... If I kill you... I'll be famous..." Her voice was cruel sounding that could make little kids cry to their mothers.
"Ameshia.... You were always a fool... We use to be such good friends.... What happened?" You asked brushing off the fact she said she'd try and kill you.
"You left... You became a murderer... I cannot forgive that. Itachi-kun left... Then you... I'll have to kill you both..." The ANBU known as Ameshia said.
"You can try..."
"I have a feeling I'll win this battle..."
"And I have a feeling you'll die. Let's see who's right." You said pulling your kantana from the hilt on your back. You stood in a fighting stance waiting for Ameshia to make the next move.
"You going to attack?" She asked,
"I already have." You replied yawning. She raised an eyebrow but soon a sharp pain filled her side. "The nervous system is very slow..." Ameshia was on the ground squirming in pain as blood oozed from a wound on her side. You had moved so quickly she couldn't catch your movement. "Now please pick yourself up so I can have some fun now."
The ANBU female slowly stood up her right hand clutching her side desperately to keep the blood in her. It was a failing attempt. She now stood up still hunched over a bit. You frowned under your mask in disappointment. Charging forward so now you were visible to her eyes you kicked her where you had stabbed her. She shreiked in pain and toppled onto the ground. Then swung your sword so it stopped touching her throat.
"Go ahead kill me..." Ameshia spat.
"Those are your last word you know...." You said,
"Go to hell..." She muttered,
"I am already there." You said and with that you slit her throat ending your old friend's life. You tore a piece of cloth from her sleeve and wipped the blood from your blade. It was a waste of energy to fight her.
The sight of blood.... The scent of the luscious liquid that spills from a human's body... I love it! The demon growled in your mind. I knew it was only an excuse... You thought and put your kantana away. You sauntered away towards the closest village to see if you could find any information on where AKUSUKI could be.
~The village~
you walked through the empty streets; no one was around not a soul in the shops. You growled in frustration. Where the hell is everyone!?? You thought looking on both sides of you. The scent of rotten flesh fills this village... We should stay here awhile.... Your demon said to you. "Rotten flesh..." You whispered and walked forward looking signs of dry blood or even battle.
"I can't even sense anything.... No chakra... No signs of fighting.... No blood.... Nothing. What happened here?" You said to yourself only to have a voice answer.
"Like what I did?" You whipped your body around to see a pair of cold heartless crimson eyes staring at you.
"Itachi!" You said startled. I could I have not sensed his Chakra.... You quickly regained your composure. "How did you do this?" The Uchiha didn't reply. He just held his stare as if unbelieving that it was you.
"So this is the Dangerous Assassin?" A new voice mocked. You averted your gaze to a shark hybrid like ninja. I don't like this.... We should escape while we can... You were now surprised in your own mind. Your demon actually said to retreat it was a first for you. No! I finally found him... I'm not running away! You thought stubbornly.
"I'd shut your trap if I were you shark boy... Before I turn you into Sushi." You snapped at Kisame. Itachi smirked and Kisame grew angry with you. You pulled your sword from your back again and held it ready. You were planning on using strong and fast attacks to not kill Itachi but rather making him suffer through pain like he had done to you. Kisame pulled out his blade ready to fight. Itachi merely held a hand in front of his partner.
"What are you doing?" Kisame asked
"I'm gonna fight this one alone...." Itachi answer bluntly. His black and red cloak billowed in an eerie breeze. You didn't like it, and now was wishing you had taken your demon's advice.
"Itachi... Your gonna pay for what you did..." You said disappearing. He made no motion to look around. You appeared behind him and he disappeared before you could wound him with your katana. Your eyes widened with surprise you landed on the ground and looked around nervously. You turned around to look behind you only to receive a hard kick in the stomach knocking the wind right out of you. Your legs gave out as you fell on your back gasping for air.
"Pathetic... Like you always were..." Itachi said. Kisame was nervous, He saw how fast you moved and to say the truth he wouldn't have been able to over come your speed. You finally caught your breath but Itachi hit you over the head knocking you out.

~Dream~
everything was a blur. The sound of a heart pounding filled a young girl's ears. She dashed through crowds of people just walking through the many streets of Konoha. No one seemed to really pay much attention to the silver haired teen as her yellow eyes flittered to one face to another. An ignorant woman stuck out her foot for some entertainment and tripped her. Falling to the ground the teenage girl scraped her arms and knees. Slowly she pushed herself up on her knees and stared up at the woman who had tripped her. Long black hair ran down to her shoulders, parted slightly so it covered her left eye. However the one showing was a dark lavender. All the girl did was laugh while everyone else walked by, not one person said a word or even glanced. The younger Mitsukai did not make a face or say anything instead she shakily pulled herself up. Everyone knew she was not a fighter, nor a ninja for that matter. Just a sick girl who some pitied.
'Where are you...' She thought as she darted around the village. 'I guess I should try his house... but I rarely see him there. He's usually at the training field but he wasn't there today....' Eyes widened as she slowed down to a halt. She retreated back a few steps staring at what laid before her eyes. Bodies lay strewn across the ground all of them from the Uchiha clan. Mitsukai's legs were trembling as her eyes stared at the blood that stained the ground. 'What happened here?!.... Itachi!' She maneuvered her way slowly through the mess and finally reached the door. A voice entered her ears. Then another. 'Sasuke... and Itachi...' She dared not open the door just stood there staring and listening. Only a minute into the conversation, the silver haired teen was backing up and getting ready to run. The door swung open and Itachi stepped out. The crimson eyes of the sharingan flickered over to her.
"Itachi...." She whispered too scared to speak any louder.
Had not anyone heard or sensed what was going on? The elder Uchiha stepped towards her and she took a step back.
"W-w-why?"
The Uchiha stopped walking and just stared. She could not see anything in his eyes, but knew she had to get out of there. Escape. That was a good plan but there was no way to outclass a leader of an ANBU squad. Itachi was silent. Mitsukai blinked and he was gone, her head swerved from side to side looking for him. More blood hit the ground as the girl fell down. She looked up and stared into the Uchiha's eyes once more. Terrified. Her hand grasped her arm trying to stop of the flow of blood.
"You're pathetic... Nothing but a weakling."
His words cut through her soul tearing it apart. This was not the Itachi she knew, the one who nice and caring, the one who sat around and talked with her when his missions were over, and definitely not the one she danced with at the festival. It had to be someone else. It just had to be. Her mind could not wrap around the fact that Itachi was evil, a murderer nonetheless.
"What's wrong with you..."
Mitsukai's eyes were sore, hot tears filled them and streamed down her face.
"I'm fine.... In fact I feel stronger." There was a pause and it felt like eternity. 'What is he doing?' "Your a disgrace to this village... Why don't you do yourself a favor and just get yourself killed...."
With that said the black haired teenager began to walk off.
"Itachi!"
The teen called out. Slowly she pushed herself up and darted after him determined to do something. She had to be sure he was really like this. That she wasn't imaging it, that he really was heartless. That was all it took. In an instant she was sent to the ground all cut up and in more tears. 'What happened...?' She thought her eyes closed.
"Mangekyo Sharingan..."
Itachi spoke in a low voice, as he answered the question in her thoughts. With that Mitsukai listened to the footsteps leading off till her mind was covered in darkness.

~Dream End~
Eyes slowly opened and stared into the darkness. Where am I? After blinking a few times one would realize that they were staring up at the sky. The small dots of light were clear, now. Soon sound flooded back to your ears as you noted that you were lying down. Slowly you sat up only to realize you hadn't even moved. What the hell... Neko... What's going on? You now questioned your demon. Bout time you woke up... Dreaming about the past huh? While you were knocked out I transferred some of my chakra out into a solid form of a two-tailed cat. I've been watching Itachi and Kisame...Neko explained her words were acid. Not impressed by you getting knocked out without even a fight. You didn't like it either.
"Hey Itachi... I think she's awake now...."
A voice interrupted your chat with your demon. You closed your eyes hoping the Uchiha would still think you were asleep. However it was not the case. Though he did not saw anything you could feel the stare of those emotionless eyes.
"Maybe I was just seeing things.... Maybe she really is still knocked out...."
Kisame said giving up, as his partner did not reply to him. Instead he seemed to have stood up and began to walk away towards a light that shined through your eyelids. Opening one eye slightly so you could look through your eyelashes you stared over at a fire that was going. Now I wish I took your advice and retreated.... Maybe stayed at another village... By the way what happened to the village? It was a genjutsu... It never was there. When Itachi appeared I had figured it out.... Foolish of you to let your mind be tricked like that. If you could have you would have smacked the demon but that wasn't possible. Instead you sighed mentally. Well at least you believed it first.
You realized your eyes were open now and noticed Kisame standing over you. He seemed to be looking off at something else, and so did Itachi. They've spotted me.... That means they probably know what you're going to be used for.... What are you talking about? I'm gonna be used for what? You were starting to panic, usually you wouldn't let things like this get to you this much, but now it was different. Something was wrong and you knew it, no you could feel it and it was bad. Well I heard that Akasuki has kidnapped some demon vessels and the demon extracted from them. Thus the vessel dies... Your whole body froze, you couldn't even feel yourself breathe, maybe you didn't your mind wasn't in the right place at the moment. I'm... Going to die...
