Disclaimer: I do not own any of the Naruto Characters, go get them from Masashi Kishimoto if you want them. The only character I own is Fukiko Namikaze.
Okay, I'm so sorry for the sudden freeze of the writing. I know is said it would be a weekly update! *bows head and apologizes* ):I was trying to study for my finals but my conscience got the better of me and I finally did the second chapter. I'm really really really sorry!
Anywho, without further adieu, Chapter 2! :)
"So, what do you say?" Itachi repeated.
"No." Fukiko replied.
"And your reason?"
"I said no and I mean no, now get out of here I'm busy." Fukiko looked away, obviously trying to avoid the question. In fact, deep down in her heart she knew the reason why she wouldn't accept such an offer.-He was an Uchiha, Madara was an Uchiha too.
Itachi knew this was coming, he already saw through her that she was the type who couldn't trust people easily.
"No, I'm staying here till I get an answer." He firmly stated.
"Argh hell, why are all you Uchihas so obnoxious!"Fukiko could sense her immaturity kicking up.
"Oh. So have you met a true Uchiha?" Itachi questioned, a little taken aback by her answer.
"Get out, I don't want to say anything to someone whom I just met."
And so, Itachi left, but that was not the end of it.
"Heck, the Uchiha's a wimp. I told him to get out and he just did. Lacks determination, weak. And he's just one year older than me."
Oh how wrong Itachi proved her to be, well, except for the age part at least.
Itachi returned two days later, repeating the same question to her.
"What are you doing here. Didn't I give you my answer already?" She yelled coldly.
"There's no need to shout. I'm here again to give you my reason for asking you to aid me in the ANBU, in exchange, you tell me why you harbor such dislikeness to the Uchihas. Fair deal?" Itachi replied calmly.
A long awkward pause...
"Deal." she agreed.
"Okay, I'm done with my story. Your turn." Itachi proceeded.
Fukiko started by talking about Tobi or rather, Madara and told him everything she saw. She didn't know why but she felt like she could trust this guy. Itachi Uchiha... Maybe he would be the one who would bring her out from the dark, into the light.
When she was done, she realized that Itachi was pretty emotionless. Through all these talk, he remained calm and had no reaction even though she was talking about one of his clan members.
"Madara...huh. That guy was said to be someone who founded this village together with the First Hokage. Logically speaking, he should have been dead by now, but..."
"But...?" Fukiko enquired.
"No, its nothing. About the job.." Itachi tried.
"Give me 3 days. I'll think it through." Fukiko smiled replying. It had been a long time since she had smiled, and she didn't know why she was smiling as well.
"I look forward to a favourable answer." Itachi nodded and left.
Days later, Fukiko stepped into the Third Hokage's office, requesting to speak with Itachi.
"Oh Fukiko, its been a long time. How are you doing?" The Third Hokage asked warmly.
"I'm fine. I see the number of white strands on your hair has not reduced at all." She smirked in return.
"Oh, you're here. I thought you would've skipped town." a voice was heard.
"Itachi." The Hokage greeted the masked-man.
"Do I look the type? Unless you want me to change my mind about some stuff?" She raised her eyebrow.
"We'll have this outside." He nodded to the door.
Lousy chapter i know. Please tell me where i need to change in your reviews! And I'm sorry for making Itachi out of character! ): Constructive criticism is always welcomed! :)
