Hikaru's POV
Time passed quickly. It's been a month since I first joined Akatsuki. Everyday was the same. Risu and her gang come to me fist thing in the mornings trying to persuade to join the Itachi Fanclub. Then Itachi would come to tell them to get lost and then take me down for breakfast. After breakfast, we would then go to the dining room and have a meeting with the 'members' of Akatsuki. Kanguma would tell us the schedule for the day and what mission they would have to take, of course there was none for me. When the meeting is finished, Itachi and me would go to the nearby lake and train, but to tell the truth, I was the only one training. Itachi would just sit under a tree, watch and tell me what areas I needed to improve on. When it's about 12'o clock, we would have lunch by lake with the food we took from the kitchen in the morning. About 3'o clock in the afternoon, we would come back and I would have some free time. But, it's not like I get to do anything I want. Risu and her gang would come back to me and brag about how great her Itachi-sama is and tell me to stay away from him. And every Tuesday, they would drag me out to the field and have me participate in their ridicules meeting against my will. They would get all their members to drag me to the place and question me about what I did with Itachi the whole week. To then, I seemed like to be the perfect person to get in formations of him. At 6:30, Itachi would come and get me to have dinner. If I was with the girls, he would have to deal with them while I slip away to my room and have five minutes to myself. After dinner, the gang would come back again to bother me until I get so bored and fell asleep.
When I thought the situation I was in couldn't get any worse, I was wrong. It could, and it did.
The sun was beaming through the window and birds were chirping. Another two minutes and Risu and them would come.
Knock, knock.
Can they leave me alone! "Go away Risu! How many times do I have to say? IDON'T WANT TO JOIN THAT CLUB!" I yelled. It's my usual routine, even though it never worked.
"What are you yelling at? Can't you be quieter first thing in the morning?" To my surprise, Itachi's voice appeared.
"Itachi? What are you doing here? Isn't it 15 minutes too early for you to show up? What are you doing here?"
"I am here to-"
"Ara, Itachi-sama? What bring you here early in the morning?" Risu suddenly popped up outside of my room, cutting Itachi off. "Let me guess. Are you here to tell me that you agreed that you would take me on a date? Ohhh, I am so happy! Let go to my room and take! This isn't an ideal place to," Risu said while sending a glace to me. It probably meant something like 'How dare you hook up with my Itachi-sama first thing in the morning?'.
"Get lost. I am not here to talk to you," it was Itachi's job to tell the girls to get lost after they piss me off, but today, it was a earlier than usual. But then again, I am glad it is. Hearing the order, the gang immediately ran off.
"Do they always come at this time?" Seeing the girls ran off, Itachi asked me.
"Why you ask? Yeah. They always come at 6:45 sharp, never a minute late. And you always come at 7:00 to tell them to get lost. Hey, what are you here for anyways? You didn't tell me yet."
"Kanguma sent me to tell you that he want both of us in the dining room at seven. He said he have an important issue that he have to talk to us about."
"What time is now?"
"6:52."
"What? I have to get dress in five minutes? Get out Itachi, I have to change!" I jumped up from my bed and rushed around trying to find my clothes.
"No need. I'll wait here."
"What!Get out! Are you expecting me to let you stay here and watch me change my clothes? Get out!" I yelled with my face red because of embarrassment.
"Fine," Itachi stood up from where he was sitting and walked out of the room. As soon as he was out of the room, I closed the door, and got changed quickly.
"Himuro-san and, Itachi. You are finally here. Come and take a seat," Kanguma smiled and nodded us toward our usual spot. "You are a bit late, but I hear for Saruto that Risu and her two friends were visiting you," -Yeah right about Risu and them were just visiting- "so I'll make this late doesn't count. But if you were t-"
"Just get to the point," Itachi interrupted Kanguma impatiently.
"Oh yes, yes. The issue that I wanted to talk to you about is you next mission." –Mission? Yes! I can finally escape from Risa and them for few days!- "According to our spy in the Sunagakure no Sato, the Fujin no Sho has been found."
"Fujin no Sho?"
"Yes, Fujin no Sho. Don't you know what it is?" Kanguma was surprised to hear me mention the makimono as if I didn't know what it is.
"Of course I know what it is," I immediately responded.
Flashback
"Onii-chan, what is Fujin no Sho?"
"Oya? Where did you get the name of that from?"
"I was reading this book that I found on the bookshelf, and the book mentioned it in the first chapter. It says: Fujin no Sho is the holy makimono that Fujin left behind when he died. It contains all of the knowledge of the Fujin. If a person read the makimono, he will be able to control the wind. But onii-chan, how can a person know how to control the wind only by reading the makimono?"
"Hikaru, Fujin no Sho tells a person how to feel the wind and see the wind. It's not hard. You know that I can control fire, right?"
"Yes."
"I can because I read the Hokami no Sho."
"But onii-chan, but you said I can control water!"
"Yes, you will be able to. When you are older, I will give you Suijin no Sho and you will be able to."
"Suijin no Sho? But I have never seen it. Where is it?"
"You want to know?"
"Yes!"
"It's in here."
"But that's only a necklace."
"This necklace opens a portal to a secret area and that's where I put the Hokami and Suijin no Sho."
"But how come you have them? I thought there were only five of those holy makimonos in the world."
"They were handed down to me from my parents. One of my parent's family was master of fire, so they had the Hokami no Sho, and the other one was master on water, so they had Suijin no Sho. I chose fire so I only know how to control fire, so I let you to control the other one."
"Honto, onii-chan?"
"Honto."
End of Flashback
"Then there would be no need for me to explain. Now for your mission. Your mission is to bring back the Fujin no Sho from the Kazegake family. There is no time limit to this mission, so take as long as you want. If this mission successes, then we will have two of the five Holy Makimons!" –Seems like that no one here know that I have the two of the other three- "Oh yes, Itachi, if you two are being hunted down by suna-nins, use that plan that Saruto came up with. It's a stupid idea, but there is no way that you can be caught. Got it?"
"Yes. But that plan is a bit…" For the first time, Itachi seemed unsure of something. What is this plan that even Itachi is unsure whether to use or not?
"I know, I know. I am aware of the fact that it is … But think of the positive side, there is no way that they will catch you!"
"Fine," Itachi seemed very bothered by the plan.
"Now go! Get the Fujin no Sho!" Kanguma ordered us to start the mission.
"Ryoukai," Itachi and me answered at the same time and walked out of the room.
