Author's Note: Hi Guys! I am back from the dead! I just managed to survive all 11 exams even though I only have 6 subjects… stupid practicals and multiple exams. Any way well I don't have much of an excuse because I finished on Wednesday but hey I have 'exam hangover' as my mum so kindly put it. Any way I just found out that my parents are supportive of this Fanfiction thing so I'm not complaining. Just so that people know…Kisa may be my OC but she is nothing like me even though she may have some of the same physical traits, I am not sticking myself into the story although that would be cool.
You know the drill, I don't own Naruto. And before I go on *SPOILER ALLERT!* I would just like to thank my friends for reminding me constantly that Tobi is Obito … after I had my head chewed my head off by my Tae-Quan-Do instructor since I believed that he was too cute and nice to be evil.
********************************############################*****************
Normal Point of view:
"Get ready Uchiha! Prepare to be shown what happens when you take others food!" Kisa shouted from her place on top of a boulder.
The male facing her just watched as she silently fumed over her lost dinner. She hopped down from her position and stormed over to Itachi all the while pushing up her sleeves on her cloak. She reached him and jabbed him in the chest, standing on her tippy-toes to trying appear more intimidating. It wasn't working. Itachi smirked, stepped aside and watched as Kisa wobbled and met the ground head first with a thud. The now mud covered teenager rolled over and was hesitant to grab the out stretched hand that was offered to her. She took it and was jolted forward and in to the arms of the said male. Squirming, she managed to push him off and dart to the other side of the training field, panting and glaring. If looks could kill, Itachi would be dead millions of times over if she could compete with the famous Uchiha glare.
"This is for real 'Tachi."
Kisa wiped the drying mud off her cloak before unbuttoning it and chucking it on the rock she had been previously standing on. The two watched each other. Grey eyes locked on red.
"DIE!" Kisa charged forward with a battle cry fist withdrawing ready for the first punch. Her fist connected and a large cloud of smoke surrounded her opponent. A clone. When did he do that? She whipped around only to have a kunai come sweeping across in front of her. She leaned back as it took whips of her hair with it.
"That was a close one. Now I will have to trim this! You know how long it takes to get this thing even." But she was shouting into thin air. He had disappeared again. Damn it.
The earth trembled beneath her as a tree burst from the ground. She cartwheeled out of the way and narrowly dodged the senbon needles that were shot from each of the trunks. She reeled back as Itachi materialised to her side. He breathed in and sent fire after her. She ran backwards scrambling to get away from the now blackening fire. Shit, her pants had caught fire. She reached down careful not to touch the flame and ripped part of her pants to remove it.
She grabbed a nearby tree and started to suck the life out of the poor vegetation. The tree stood no chance as it wrinkled, dried and collapsed in a messy heap. The weasel just watched, slightly horrified, as this girl held a green orb before swallowing it whole and sucking her fingers as if it was a delicious meal. She was covered in a green light as all her cuts healed over. Calculating features graced Itachi's face as he assessed her new ability.
Itachi's Point of view:
What was that. Eyes narrowed as I watched a feint green glow surround her before disappearing. My eyes shifted from her form to the more than dead tree that was not even half the size of her. Interesting. It seems that she can eat the 'souls' of not only 'living' creatures. So if eating trees means she heals, I wonder what eating animal's means.
"Getting off your high horse Uchiha?" Raising an eyebrow my haunting gaze travelled back to her own glowing eyes.
"I said are you going to get off your high horse Uchiha, or do I need to pull you down?!"
Then she did a stupid thing. Frontal attacks will never work.
Kisa's Point of view (a few seconds before):
I hobbled over a nearby tree and placed my hand on it. That same creature that introduced me to Hysteria hummed away happily as it used my body to suck the life force out of the defenceless tree. It took control of my body for a second eagerly watching as it swiftly pulled out the green orb and swallowed it whole. It licked my fingers savouring the wonderful taste of the green chlorophyll and cellulose. I gained back control and mentally spat the green thing out. A wonderful feeling swept over me as I glanced down to see a green light surrounding me. It stopped and I raised my head to face Itachi.
"Getting off your high horse Uchiha?" Taunting was not going to work but it would do some good. He met my gaze and raised an elegant eyebrow in slight distaste.
"I said are you going to get off your high horse Uchiha, or do I need to pull you down?!" I shouted to him. No response. THAT'S IT! I am going to drag him down tooth and nail if it is the last thing I do. I charged forward preparing myself for a counter attack that might happen.
Normal Point of view:
Punch after punch Itachi kept blocking, not attempting to make his own. All the while they were moving back towards the trees, Kisa driving the two of them with her barrage of slashes, kicks and punches. They reached the edge of the forest and Itachi disappeared. She turned 360 degrees searching for him.
Up, down, left, right.
Up, down, left, right.
Up down left right.
Updownleftright.
UPDOWNLEFTRIGHT!
She stopped her search. She blinked, she was standing in darkness and clouds peeled away to reveal a red sky. She looked around her. No! When? How?
She felt the jutsu being pulled off her. Panting and falling to the ground with her knees and hands to support her upper half. A shadow loomed over her and a hand forced her face up.
"I believe you owe me lunch."
"How? When?"
"When you were busy taunting me."
"You mean."
"Yes. The second you glared at me."
She hauled herself off the ground and trudged towards her discarded cloak huffing all the way.
"Be out in 15 minutes and wear something more decent." It was an obvious statement considering that her clothes were now either ashes or pieces of torn material.
She sauntered back into the base ignoring the stares she got from Kisame and Deidara on her way to the room.
...*****...
Kisa's Point of View:
I stared in horror at the note on my bed.
'Kisa, there is shopping for your little "date" in the cupboard. Love Konan'
My eyes forced themselves over to the over flowing wardrobe. I gulped. Konan, why must you pry into my life so much. It wasn't even a date. It was just a bet that I lost, again, right?
I shut my eyes and inched slowly towards the tower of doom and stuck my hand out trying to keep my body as far away from it as possible. My hand sifted through the piles of clothes before finding another pair of black pants and shirt. I walked to the door and peeped my head out, coast clear. I tippy-toed to the bathroom…
"Where do you think you're going with that? Hmmmm? Care to explain why."
I turned around to an annoyed Konan.
"Hi" I squeaked out feeling very very small.
"You are not going out with just that on." She grabbed my hand and so began the half an hour of torture.
...*****...
Itachi's Point of View:
I have been waiting for that girl for over 45 minutes now. She's never late. I heard a crash and a female scream coming from her direction. Foolish girl. I walked in that direction. Opened the door and was surprised to see Konan pinning Kisa to the floor as she wrestled her into a kimono, a plain one in the Akatsuki colours.
After a few seconds they both realised that I was standing there watching the very entertaining scene. Konan released her hold on the reddening Kisa and stepped outside, all the while giving me a look I couldn't quite comprehend. Women.
...*****...
Kisa's Point of view (a few hours later, after the outing):
WHY ME! Gosh, every shop! Stupid Itachi and his dango. We go to the food stall, the markets and the weapons shop and every single one of them asked if we were a couple! GET IT INTO YOUR HEADS PEOPLE WE ARE NOT DATING! The glares I received from girls were disturbing as I was almost forced to punch one of the most sleazy girls for trying to hit on Itachi!
I am going to bed. Missions start again tomorrow and there is no way I will be able to survive humiliation.
Goodnight!
Itachi's Point of View:
I stared as Kisa trudged her way down the corridor to her room and slammed the door shut, just missing her Kimono. I felt sorry for the girl, she had spent almost the whole time trying to dodge glares coming her way. There was one point where I had to step in and had to glare at them to make sure that there weren't any fights. I am sure that Kisa would be able to look after herself but it wasn't her I was worried about. When we were eating she had smiled and cheerfully munched on her dango. I am pretty sure that food is the only thing that motivates her to protect something, when I tried to take one of her sticks but she guarded it like a dog would a bone.
I watched as Kisame and Hidan swayed and hobbled their way down the hallway towards the kitchen. I walked towards my own room. Something itched at the back of my throat, I coughed into my hand and blood spilled out.
...I...I would have to tell her soon...but not too soon.

Authors note: Yes I know it was short but I needed something to get myself back into the swing of things. Thank you once again to those who have constantly supported me throughout writing this. A big big big special thank you to my nee-chan (as I like to call her) who gives me my inspiration for most of the chapters, letting me read it to her even when she isn't even in the mood, though sometimes I think I irritate her to no end. BUT ONCE AGAIN THANK YOU AND I LOOK FORWARD TO SEEING YOU GUYS IN CHAPTER 9.
Love PUP!
