Chapter 3: Battle for freedom

It was raining cats and dogs today. I was bored out of my mind on how today was going. I had nothing to do and yet it felt as if I was waiting for something. Of course it was almost always raining here in the village hidden in the mist. I had been captured by anbus who accused me of being Orochimaru's partner. Not that they were wrong or anything and the only reason I was caught was because the curse mark was acting out and I couldn't even move. I don't like Orochimaru but I can't get away no matter how much I want to. I had no idea where I was but I was definitely out of the village. I was probably in a facility on the outskirts. I really don't like interrogation but that what I was probably going to go through. There was no chakra around me which meant that I couldn't use and could not tell if I was alone. They must have used some sort of jutsu. I had no choice but to wait for chance to break out. Suddenly I heard screaming. I was blindfolded so I couldn't see anything. A loud explosion almost took my hearing away. Whoever was out there was no ordinary ninja cause in a few minutes the screaming died down.

"I really don't know what the leader is thinking. Why would he want someone who can't even win from some lame hidden mist anbus?" Said a gruff voice followed but a cool and calm one.

"You really over did it Kisame there was no need to use such chakra consuming jutsus and as to answer your question, I have heard that the konoichi has information about Orochimaru."

"Ok thats fine but there is really no need to have any information about Orochimaru because we can still kill him without it. This mission was nothing but a waste of time. We travelled all the way for a weak konoichi. This is not a real Akatsuki mission it's pointless and easy."

"If that is how you feel then why don't you simply confront the leader and DEMAND a reason for sending us at this mission."

After that the man with the gruff voice didn't say anything but I kept thinking about one word that was used in the conversation. Akatsuki!

Thousands of thoughts raced through my head. This was so bad. What were the Akatsuki doing here and who were they looking for. Of course it was me. I am a konoichi and I know about Orochimaru so it had to be me. What were they going to do with me I needed to get out or better yet hide and hope that they won't find me.

I didn't have to conceal my chakra but I slowly moved close to the wall and simply listened to the footsteps nearby.

"I don't think shes here Itachi. Either she ran away, shes not here or I accidentally killed her. Let's go back to base." yelled Kisame.

Wait Itachi as in Itachi Uchiha? This just keeps getting worse my only chance is that the famed Akatsuki ninja agrees and simply leaves otherwise there is no hope for me.

"You are too rash Kisame. I am certain she did not leave as I would have sensed her chakra and she is certainly in this facility as this is the kind of place anbus keep their prisoners. It is beyond doubt that she is in a cell as I cannot sense her chakra."

And with that all my hopes were shattered. I heard the door open but I didnt move at all. I suppose I was too scared. It's not easy to scare me. Even Orochimaru himself could never but the man who cut off his arm without a problem and killed his clan before that was someone who shook me to the bone. I could tell someone was approaching me. So which one was it the heartless killer or the psychopath? A pair of hands reached out and undid my blindfold. The blindfold fell down and I opened my eyes to see the famed Uchiha kneeling in front of me. His eyes seemed to stare into my soul and the look on his was so emotionless, it made my heart skip a beat. Despite the fact that I was scared enough to scream, I continued to stare at him and I could tell he was surprised. He gave a small smile and helped me up. It was my turn to look surprised. His smile disappeared as quickly as it came and he said in an emotionless voice,

"Take note that if you try to escape or cause us difficulty then this journey will not be as pleasant as it can be."

I showed no emotion and he undid a jutsu that stopped my hands from moving. I saw another Akatsuki come through the door. I figured that he was Kisame. I had no intention of being taken to the Akatsuki to be tortured to death. The moment Itachi undid the jutsu I quickly dispersed into black petals. The last thing I heard was Itachi, who whispered to himself,

"I was hoping that it wouldn't have to come to this."

I found myself out of the facility and without thinking of where to go I simply took off towards south. I saw crows following me and so I aimed at them and used Fire style phoenix blaze jutsu. Almost instantly the crows burned before they could hit the ground and I continued towards south. My heart raced as heard Itachi use his fire ball jutsu. A giant fireball came towards me and I used water style water dragon jutsu. Itachi's fireball disappeared completely as it came into contact with my water dragon. I sensed someone appear in front of me and I stopped in my tracks to see Kisame smirking as he took out his sword.

"Going somewhere little Shizunaki?"

I wanted to punch him and that's what I did only to realize that it was a water clone and that the real Kisame was right behind me. Immediately I turned around and used Lightning Style lightning blaster jutsu. Kisame jumped back before the blast hit him and cursed me. I ignored him and turned my attention to Itachi who to my surprise called Kisame and told him to stand down.

"Kisame let me take care of this."

"What? Forget it Itachi I can easily defeat her."

"I know you are planning to kill her and we cannot afford to do that. We were give strict orders to return with her."

"We can just kill her and lie. No one will know besides she doesn't have anything special."

"You might have not noticed but I have Kisame. She has not even begun fighting us and she used Fire, Water and then lightning type jutsus. While an average person has only two types of chakra natures, she seems to have more and that is quite rare. It would be of great benefit to have her in the Akatsuki."

Kisame only scoffed in return. I kept thinking of a strategy but there was nothing I could think of. I noticed that Itachi had activated his sharingan. I made a few hand signs and used earth style ground control jutsu. It seemed as if Itachi had read my mind. He quickly leaped off the ground and landed on a tree branch.

"I must admit I underestimated you Kiva Shizunaki. I truly didn't think you could also use Earth style jutsu. However such jutsus are meaningless before my sharingan."

"Let's just see about that Itachi."

Before I could do some hand signs Itachi's body began to swirl and it felt as if the ground was starting to collapse under my feet. I was caught in his genjutsu. Several crows headed for me but simply closed my eyes and calmed myself. I unleashed a burst of chakra that tore through the genjutsu.

"I am surprised that you broke through my Genjutsu so easily. Most people are unable to do that."

"Wait a little longer and I will give you more surprises."

"Unfortunately I don't have much time. I am giving you one last chance to silently follow us or I will have no choice but to go to extreme measures to subdue you."

"Sorry but I really don't want to get involved with you guys."

"Hm you're quite smug are you not….kiva?"

"Perhaps Wind style hurricane jutsu." I yelled as I jumped away from Itachi.

Itachi leapt from branch to branch until he came just above the small opening in the hurricane jutsu. The wind was swirling around him with great force and he began to destroy any object that came near him. He looked at me as I stood in the middle of the hurricane and launched a fire ball at me. I used the fire ball jutsu as well and he showed even more surprise. Although the jutsu didn't hit me, the collision was strong enough to stop my hurricane jutsu. Before I could attack again a giant snake suddenly grabbed me and pulled me to the top of a cliff. It had grabbed so roughly that I could hardly breathe.

"Hello Kiva. It seems you have attracted some unwanted attention."

"koga!" I hissed.

"Lord Orochimaru wants you back so I decided to come and get you." Continued Koga

"Oh what's this Akatsuki? What could Akatsuki want with you? Care to explain?"

"Oh this is just great. Can I at least kill this guy Itachi?" yelled Kisame.

Itachi remained silent and kept staring at Koga with a hint of annoyance on his face. Now there was no chance of freedom. Whoever wins it was over for me. I started breathing heavily as I tried to gasp for air.

The snake was cut into half by Itachi. I landed on the ground next to him and continued gasping for air. I slightly shivered under his gaze. It seemed as if he was looking at me out of pity. Before I could say anything, intense pain stabbed itself into my neck and collar bone. I placed my hand over the cursed mark and grabbed my shoulder tightly. I guessed that Itachi knew that I was in extreme pain because he bent down and placed his hand over mine to put more pressure on my neck. At this koga flared up and ran towards Itachi.
