Thanks for the reviews everyone, I appreciate it ^~^ I've been busy on projects, assignments and school activites, so, I don't really have time to update ^~^ or write. I try, though. And, yes, in the manga it's a fake.

Sorry for the wrong spellings or wrong grammars ^~^

Konan's POV

"Do you really expect me to believe you ?" I said, coldly. "Why would you want to help me, least of all, Itachi ?" I had long since known that not all in this group had been... fond of Itachi. I understood them, he was hard to comunicate with and rarely talks.

Zetsu's dark side snickered. "We would like to see that boy suffer." His white side silenced the other. "We just want to be of assistance, it's your decision wether you choose to accept our help or not."

I was silent. There is a possibility that Zetsu could be leading me on, or that there might be a possibility that he really does know someone who could train Itachi. I mentally sighed, my life is getting harder.

"The clock is ticking, Konan." Zetsu's dark side, warned while snickering. I glared at them. "What do you want in return ?"

"Nothing." Zetsu's white side said before the dark side could answer.

I thought for a minute. I did not have enough time, and here was someone who was offering help. I had to accept it, given the circumstances. "Fine." I told him.

"Good choice." Zetsu smirked then handed me a map. "The 'x' there indicates that person's location. I must warn you he can be..." "A complete bastard." "Hard to manage."

I nodded and snatched the map from his hands. Whoever this person is, he or she has the power to help Itachi. As I walk away from Zetsu, I noticed how mocking both his eyes were and I thought that had I made the right choice or the wrong ?

Itachi's POV

Konan had... informed me that we are traveling to some place to get me my mentor. I had protested. Of course, a ninja of my high stanards should not need a mentor. Most of all, let anyone know of my condition. I do not take being looked down lightly.

Still, we are now traveling towards a place -Konan says- that is filled with Ice. I hated the thought of that. And the fact that, Konan would be supporting me physically in mostly anything I do. And I resent thinking that she might have to carry me there.

After our things were unpacked we headed off towards the said place and arrived in 2 days. And luckily Konan did not need to help me that much and I was fine on walking by myself. But, I can only run in wide places and not forest's.

It was... unexpectedly cold. I somehow felt like Konan had been keeping something from me. However, I had no way of knowing, due to my -hateful- inability.

"Konan, have we arrived yet ? Why is it cold ?" I asked her, coldly. I hreceived no answer. And after a few moments of silence, I heard her gasp. I lifted my head, only to be struck by the resentful truth of darkness.

"Itachi, I will require you to follow my instructions, alright ?" She asked me. I felt a first offense, it sounded as if she was treating me like a child. Well, I am very much more capable than one, Konan. I allowed her to hold me by the arm-only because she was persistent- and lead me foreward. There were loud noises, and a cool wind was slapping my face, and not in a good way, it dosen't help that the ground was rough and hard to walk on. The noise became louder and louder as we advanced, Konan shivered and gripped my arm tighter. Then it hit on me, the -extremely-cold air, the hard to walk on ground.

"We are not in a blizzard, are we Konan ?" I asked her, in a harsh tone. She stiffened, not that she wasn't already stiff enough. "Yes, it appears so." She said simply.

I thought of arguing with her, but then decided against it. Whoever is here must be knowledgable and hard to negotiate with, or in other words, someone special. "Itachi, do not let go. I can see something not far from here." Konan said, then her dragging became rougher and rushed. Before I knew it, we were already running. "Oh, shit." I heard her say, then she pushed me aside. The blizzards noise was too loud and irritating for me to hear anything.

"Konan !?" I shouted. Not because I worried for her, though, only because she is the only one now that can see to where deirection we need to go. I waited, she did not come back. I decided to go ahead, even if I could not do anything at this moment, I could not use my other senses because of the blizzard and piles of snow. I wrapped my hands around myself. 'This is going to be difficult.'

First, I need to get myself out of the blizzard. I will find her later. I tried reaching out to whatever source of balance I could find. There was none. I thought of another way, I used my fire justsu and burned the rooad infront of me. Then, I knelt down and touched the ground, it was soil and not snow. I followed it, until I reached the end of the path, to where I can feel snow. I repeatedly did this, until I had reached to what I conducted and image in my made, was a cave. I entered it and leaned myself against the wall. I was freezing, how do I expect to find Konan, if I, myself cannot even see, cannot even find a decent shelter.

After I warmed myself enough, I stood up and ran out of the cave. I had to survive. Now that I cannot let Madara have his way. I did the same technique over and over, until I felt my chakra lessen to the point that I might collapse. And still, I had not reached my destination nor find Konan.

I thought of giving up... 'No !' I mentally scolded myself. I had been in much worst situations than this. This is nothing comapred to the hell I had lived in years.

I straightened myself. This is ice, but it can melt in fire. And I won't stop the fire unless I melt away the ice that blocks my path.
