Chapter 4: Red Clouds
Before I go got mad at me because I made him nice. So if you want to get mad at me also go right ahead.
Itachi's P.O.V.
-Village Hidden in the Mist-
Rena was asleep by the time we reached the village. She made a fuss when we left our home village that she was too heavy to carry. I just starting laughing and picked her up anyway. I told her that she wasn't that heavy to carry.
I stopped right when I got to the bridge that led to the village. I knew this wasn't the safest place for Rena since Zabuza lived here but my dad isn't exactly on good terms with the leader here so he wouldn't bother us here.
And plus I'm not about to let her roam out of my sights in a village that crawling with idiots. I didn't want to wake Rena up, so I just kept on walking. As I was walking along I noticed two people coming in the opposite direction.
I couldn't see their faces but they were wearing long cloaks with red clouds on them. As they passed by them I sensed that they weren't natural like other ninja. I avoided contact and just kept walking forward. I felt Rena stir on my back.
"Itachi…" She whispered trying to fight a yawn back.
"Yes." I answered back.
"Can I walk now?" She was fully awake now and looking at me. I only nodded and let her get down off of my back. She stretched her arms out in front of her and sighed. "Man that felt like forever!"
"Rena." I said trying not to laugh. "It took only 20 minutes!" She started blushing when I said this.
"Well to me it feels like 2 hours." She said as she folded her arms and turned away jutting out her lip.
I gently grabbed her wrists and pulled her along toward the gate of the village. When we were inside Rena gasped at how many people there were. I only smiled at her reaction. To make sure I wouldn't lose her in the crowd I made her walk in front of me while still holding onto her hand.
When I first meet Rena she had told me of her parents and how they would never let her out of the village. She always wanted to get out and explore the world. We checked into one of the hotels and got a room for the next few weeks.
"Itachi!" She looked all over for him. She found a note by the bed that said, 'Gone out for awhile. Be back in a little while. And DON'T leave the room! Love, Itachi.'
"Oh come on! Why can't I leave?" She sat on the bed and pouted.
-The Market-
I was walking around when I noticed the two guys again with the red clouds on them. Apparently they saw me and turned towards me. I only turned around and headed for an alley way. When I reached the end of the alley way I turned on my heel and looked straight at them.
"What the hell do you want?" I asked in a threatening way.
"What's the matter Itachi?" The big one asked.
"How do you know my name?"
"Can't tell you." He stated, "But we would like to know if you would like to join us?"
"Us?"
"We call ourselves the Akatsuki. We are a powerful group of villains." He looked up as he said this and it started raining.
Notes: I feel like I rushed this chapter. But if you enjoyed it then okay I'm glad you did. ) I might work on chapter 5 today but it depends because I'll be gone for a week and must start packing. But thanks for reading my story!
