Ch. 10
"Blaaaake!" Ruby shouted
"Blaake!" Yang shouted
"Blaaaake!" Nanami shouted
"Blaaaaake! Where are you?!" Ruby sighed and turned back to look at Itachi, and Weiss but mainly Weiss "You two aren't really helping."
Itachi knew Weiss was about to make a remark so he spoke before she could say anything. "Yelling her name out will only make it harder to locate her."
"Huh?" Both Nanami and Ruby tilted their head in confusion
"Blake made the choice to leave because she was upset and scared."
"So you're saying..." Yang started slowly
"She may not want to be found at this moment, and shouting her name will only let her know we are nearby, giving her a chance to flee before we see her." He stated as they kept walking
"So what do you think we should do?" Ruby asked
"I say we split up!" Nanami said
Itachi nodded. "If we split up individually or into teams of two we can cover more ground."
"We would be left at an odd number, there are only Five of us." Yang stated
"There are Six if we include our friend behind us." Itachi said
"I think that's a great idea!"
They all turned around seeing the orange haired girl from the other day.
"Ahh! Penny, where did you come from?!" Ruby asked
Penny waved. "Hey guys, what are you up to?"
"Uh..."
"We are looking for our friend Blake." Yang answered
"Ooh! You mean the Faunus girl!" Penny said
"Wait, how did you know that?" Ruby questioned
"Uh, that cat ears." She pointed at the top of her head
"What cat ears?" Yang said raising a brow "She wears a... bow..."
Everyone was quiet as a tumbleweed rolled right pass them.
"She does like tuna a lot." Ruby whispered
"Wait, none of you actually noticed before?" Nanami questioned as the girls shook their head "So Itachi and I are the only ones who knew, wow."
"Wait, you knew?" Weiss asked Itachi
Itachi nodded. "I did."
"Why didn't you say something sooner?"
"It was not my secret to tell." Itachi answered
"She hid her ears for a reason." Nanami stated and crossed her arms "She's the one who gets to decide when she wanted to reveal it."
"So, where is she?" Penny asked
Nanami almost fell to the floor. "What part of 'looking for her' did you not understand?"
"We don't know, she's been missing since Friday." Ruby answered
Penny gasped as she walked up to Ruby and held her arms. "That's terrible! Well don't you worry Ruby, my friend!" Penny stepped back placing her hands on her hips "I won't rest until we find your teammate!"
"That's really nice of you Penny, but we're okay." Ruby nodded before facing the others "Right guys?" But they had disappeared, the tumbleweed passing by again
"Should we have really left her?" Itachi asked
"She'll be fine." Weiss said
"Yeah, and Penny kind of weirds me out." Yang replied
"So do we split up?" Nanami asked as they looked at one another and nodded "Good, then I'll go with Yang, and Itachi goes with Weiss!"
"Wouldn't it be better for us to stick to our teams?" Weiss questioned they fell on deaf ears as the two girls were already walking away. "Your partner seems to do what she wants." Weiss looked back at Itachi who had been halfway down the block "Hey, wait up!"
It was later in the day, the sun was slowly getting low and they had just exited yet another shop hoping that Blake had passed by or they had seen her, but nothing. Itachi knew exactly where she was, but Blake was still thinking over some things and from what Sun had messaged him they would be at the docks tonight.
"Where could she have gone..." He heard Weiss whisper
They were passing by a dark alleyway, when Itachi stopped and narrowed his eyes. Weiss rose a brow as Itachi walked into the alleyway. Weiss was going to speak up when Itachi placed a hand over her mouth and held a finger over his, motioning her to stay silent. Weiss slowly nodded as they walked in further, her hand on her weapon as they then heard struggling coming from a corner, they heard muffled noises of someones screams.
Itachi had moved ahead of her as he rounded a corner. Weiss turned the corner and what she saw made her eyes widen. There was a man, pinning a female dog Faunus to the wall, his hand holding the girls hands above her head as his other covered her mouth, her blouse had been ripped open and his leg was in between hers slowly moving it up, lifting the skirt in the process, his body pushing onto hers. Weiss could clearly see the tears pouring down the girls face, she was screaming for help, yet Weiss could not move, she was frozen in place.
Itachi neared the man and took hold of his wrist. "I recommend you let her go."
The man whipped his head looking at Itachi. "Who the he-"
The man didn't have time to finish as Itachi broke his wrist. The man screamed in pain and tried punching Itachi with his other, but Itachi threw the man into the brick wall behind him.
"Please go with my friend, she will help you." Itachi told the Faunus girl as he motioned towards Weiss "Weiss, call the police." Itachi didn't hear a reply as he looked at her and saw she was frozen "Weiss!" Weiss blinked a few times, eyes still wide as she slowly faced him. "Help the girl and call the police." Weiss nodded as she took her scroll out.
Itachi caught the punch directed at him from the man as he looked at him, eyes narrowed as he punched the man in the gut making him kneel to the ground as he spat some blood.
"Stay down." Itachi ordered the man
The man looked up at him anger in his eyes as he stood up pulling his hidden knife out from his pocket as he thrust forward at Itachi, but Itachi had caught his arm and shoved him up onto the wall.
"Drop it or I break your arm."
The man attempted to struggle, but once Itachi began adding pressure on the arm he dropped it. Itachi held the man on the wall by the neck, his eyes bleed red turning into his Sharingan.
The mans eyes widened. "Y-You'r-"
The sharingan began to spin. "Feel the pain you've caused others."
"N-no! Noooo!"
Weiss had called the police as she was told, and was now waiting for them to arrive as she watched Itachi, she didn't know what was going on or what he had told the man to start screaming as they were not facing her direction or speaking loud enough for her to hear. All she heard was the mans screams as Itachi let him drop to the floor. Itachi turned to face Weiss, Onyx meeting blue before he looked at the girl standing behind her.
He walked over to the two. "You don't have to wo-" he hadn't finished as the girl had embraced him in a tight hug and cried into his shirt. Itachi softly sighed and held the scared girl "It's okay now." He whispered "He won't hurt you or anyone else anymore."
The man was still screaming by the time the police had arrived, until they put him to sleep to stop his screaming. The officers helped the Faunus girl who wore Itachi's jacket covering her exposed chest after they had questioned her about the events that had happened.
Itachi and Weiss were waiting as a detective walked up to them.
"You and your girlfriend here just helped us with a big bounty."
"G-g-girlfriend?!" Weiss questioned a blush appearing on her face "We aren't dating?!"
The detective rose a brow. "Either way, we need one of you to come to the station and collect the bounty."
"What was he wanted for, Detective?" Itachi questioned but he already knew the answer, he had recognized the man the instant he saw his face, but he wanted Weiss to know, for her to open her eyes.
"The bastard would kidnap Faunus around your ages, rape them and tear off their appendages before throwing them in some alley to be discovered after the deed was done." The detective shook his head "Red Hood and Reaper had locked him up, but he had escaped during transit to a bigger facility, ever since those two disappeared or went rogue as some say, criminal activity has been on the up rise." The detective sighed and walked away.
"Itachi..."
"There are victims on both sides." Itachi said as she looked up at him "You can't group all Faunus or Human into a single category." Itachi glanced at her "One person cannot represent a whole group or race." Weiss looked down.
Itachi began walking away as Weiss grabbed onto his sleeve. "Do you think we'll be able to find her?"
Itachi patted her head. "Of course we will, now let's go meet up with one of the other two groups."
Itachi had heard the explosion and the instant he did he bolted to the docks, leaving Weiss with Yang and Nanami. He was on top of a container, next to him his clone in the Reaper outfit as they saw the fighting, they jumped down and evaded various bullets as they swiftly took down the closest two White Fang members.
The two were heading for Torchwick who was about to shoot Blake at point blank range as a kunai with a paper tag landed next to Torchwicks foot.
"What the...?"
The paper started to burn as two kunai flew passed Blake but then started to circle around her as wires wrapped her and she felt as if she were being pulled. She heard an explosion where she once was and the next thing she felt was a pair of arms holding her as she looked up and saw Itachi and next to him was Reaper.
"Itachi." Blake said
They then jumped to the side as a volley of dust bullets shot where they once stood. Torchwick managed to escape the explosion on time as he dusted himself off as he and the others looked at the new arrival.
"What took you so long Red?!" Torchwick said
"I'm here aren't I?" Red Hood said never taking his sight off Reaper "It's nice to see you, Reaper!"
"I can't say the same."
Sun looked at the two as he rubbed his eyes and looked at them again before jumping to the side evading a shot.
"I'll take care of Red Hood." Reaper said Katana in hand
Itachi nodded. "You don't have much time left before the..." Itachi glanced at Blake as he untied her "..."Aura" keeping you here runs out." Itachi whispered.
"Both our drawbacks are going to hit you hard."
"I know." Itachi replied as he ran towards the White Fang goons and Blake split off from him to handle the others.
Reaper tilted his head, the bullet missing his head completely as he began running towards Red Hood as he sliced through any bullets that came his way. The only ones he made sure to avoid were the dust bullets. He jumped to the side when Red Hood came crashing down, he was swung at his side but was blocked using the handgun.
"You didn't think it was going to be easy, did you?"
Red Hood took hold of his second gun and fired but reaper jumped over him. Reaper thrust his sword attempting to pierce him but Red Hood once again used his hand gun to block the attack and redirect it to the side as he pointed his gun at Reaper who twisted in mid air.
The two kept attacking the other without letting up, but none were hitting. Red Hood placed his guns back in his holsters as he grabbed the crowbar on his back.
"Let's talk."
Reaper swung down only for it to be blocked by the crowbar but he kept adding pressure. Red Hood was going down as he let himself fall back before bringing his knees up then kicking Reaper away before he stood up. The two ran across from each other, swinging their weapons before Red Hood used his arm to block the sword, blood gushing out as he grabbed Reapers arm and swung the crowbar hitting him and sending him crashing into a container before he had disappeared in a cloud of smoke.
Itachi had been cornered by some White Fang goons, each pointing their guns at him as several lay behind them, unconscious.
"What the hell is he?!" One of them shouted
Itachi had lead them to a dead end as they all began shooting but he easily maneuvered evading every single bullet, but then he felt exhausted as he fell to a knee. The goons smirked but it disappeared when they saw black flames beginning to emit from Itachi's body.
Itachi stood back up straight, eyes closed. "Did you actually believe you had cornered me?" He asked
The tone of his voice had changed as he took a step forward. The White Fang members began sweating as the area around them began to get really hot. They had noticed that with each step Itachi took a foot print of black flames was left behind.
"You were lead here by me." Itachi opened his eyes, his pupils had black flames "Now surrender while I still allow it." The goons pointed their guns at Itachi who sighed in return "I did give you chance..."
Torchwick tsked as he ran behind some containers and saw some of the goons.
"Go over there and take care of th-"
His eyes widened when they all fell to the floor revealing Itachi in the middle, the black flames that were emitting from his person were beginning to disappear along with any other flames left by his movements.
Itachi looked at him. "Oh? You came to me to be defeated." Itachi turned to fully face him "I applaud your attitude."
"You're quite the monster kid, why don't you join me?" Torchwick asked, Itachi rose a brow as Red Hood jumped down next to Torchwick holding his arm which was now wrapped with a cloth.
"Is now really the time to be recruiting?" Red Hood asked grabbing Torchwick by the collar and leaped away
Itachi jumped to follow but both Torchwick and Red Hood shot at him. Itachi grabbed his blade and blocked with the flat as the shots exploded and he was sent crashing into some containers.
Itachi looked at the two air ships making their getaway as Blake had jumped onto the container. Blake gripped her sword but dropped it when she looked down and saw Itachi sprawled in the container. She jumped down and ran towards him ignoring the bodies of the White Fang member as she kneeled down next to him and looked him over.
"Are you okay?!" She asked him worriedly "What happened?!"
"I'm fine." Itachi replied as he moved to get up
"Don't move, you might be hurt and you just don't realize it yet." Blake said as she grabbed his arms and tried to make him stay put and Itachi chuckled "What's so funny, you could be seriously injured?!"
Itachi looked up at her kitty ears. "I like the ears, they're quite cute."
Her eyes widened as her cheeks felt hot. She looked away but once she did he stood up and ignored her protest to not move.
"I've been through much worse, Blake." Itachi stated as he walked up to Ruby who had shown up shortly after and the other two who were sitting on some crates as he joined them
She has pawns
Itachi looked up into the sky in the direction Torchwick and Red Hood flew off to.
The police had arrived, they questioned them before taking the White Fang members into custody. The paramedics had checked everyone and Blake had made sure that Itachi would cooperate with them. She was relieved when they stated he was okay and had no injuries other than some light burns on his body which would heal in time with his Aura, which got her an "I told you so" look from Itachi.
And now Itachi watched as Weiss and Blake stood in front of the other.
"Weiss, I want you to know that I'm no longer associated with the White Fang." Blake started "Back when I was with-"
"Stop, do you have any idea how long we've been searching for you?" Weiss cut Blake off "Twelve hours, that means I've had twelve hours to think about this, and in that twelve hours I've decided..." Everyone looked at the two "I don't care!"
"You don't care?" Blake questioned
"You said you're not one of them anymore, right?" Weiss said
Blake instantly spoke "No, I haven't been since I was youn-"
"Upupupup, I don't want to hear it!" Weiss cut her off once again "All I want to know, is that next time something this big comes up you'll come to your teammates, and not some..." They looked at Sun "someone else."
Blake wiped a tear. "Of course."
Itachi and Sun got off the crates and walked closer to the group.
"Yeah! Team RWBY is back! together!" Ruby cheered
"I'm still not quite sure how I feel about you!" Weiss pointed at Sun who laughed nervously then glared at Itachi "And I'm mad at you!"
"Hey, wait a minute, where's Penny?" Ruby asked
"Her Father picked her up." Itachi answered as he then looked around "Where's Nanami?"
"Her sister called her about something so she split ways before coming here." Yang answered as Itachi nodded "Wait, why are you mad at him?" Yang looked at Weiss.
"He left us and came straight here without back up!" Weiss stated as she crossed her arms "I swear, you're always looking for trouble."
"Seems to me like she was worried." Sun whispered to Itachi
"Quiet you!" Weiss huffed and crossed her arms "Why would I worry about him?"
"I never stated it was him that you were worried about." Sun smirked
Weiss looked away hoping no one would notice the pink on her cheeks. "As if."
The semester had ended and Itachi was currently in the city of Atlas or more precise he had been in Atlas for the past week. He watched as Wendy, a woman of shorter stature and very young appearance, looked over the weapons or as she called them "Her babies". She had already inspected the Executioners and was now looking at the other one.
"This one is barely used." She said as she turned to look at him "Are you picking favorites?"
"No, my partner at Beacon is the one who uses it, but she still has some way before she can use its full power." Itachi answered
"You're letting someone else use my baby?!" She questioned
"She can wield it better than her sister could." Itachi said leaning on the table where the weapons were placed on
Wendy sighed. "How about the helmet?"
"It's working fine."
"You need to bring it so I can add some touches to it."
"It's good enough."
"Our deal was, I make you these weapons, and you make sure you bring them here for me to work on them." She glared at him but it didn't faze him "And yet here you're without the helmet."
Itachi rubbed his temples. "Fine, I'll bring it in." Wendy smirked "But remember, no one finds out."
She crossed her arms and huffed. "Of course I know, my ass could get in huge trouble because of this." She looked at him and sighed "So this new partner of yours, I thought you would've brought them along."
"She and her sister went to Menagerie to visit their family."
"She your girlfriend?"
"No." He replied immediately
"Wow, no second thought huh?"
"She reminds me of an old friend, and if I didn't know any better I'd probably think they could have been related."
Wendy nodded. "You know those books you write..." Itachi rose a brow "...I didn't know you were a closet pervert." Itachi's eye slightly twitched at her comment but before he had the chance to reply she spoke again "How many of those do you have let to write?"
"Two." Itachi answered
"Have you ever thought of writing a different type of story?" She asked noticing the slight tilt in his head "Like action, mystery, or even tragedy?"
Itachi looked down for a few seconds before reaching into his jacket and pulling out a parcel and placed it in front of her. She grabbed the parcel and opened it taking out a large stack of papers.
"What's it about?" She asked skimming through the pages
"A boy who sacrificed himself for peace." Itachi replied
"So a tragedy."
"I wanted you to to take a look at it, and if you think it's good, then you can take it to the publishers."
She sighed. "You know they want to meet you and arrange a signing for the other books, right?" Itachi nodded "But of course, you don't want anyone to know it's you, so you leave it to me to figure it out." She sighed. "So, what's the title?"
"Self-sacrifice."
Next Day
Itachi had retrieved the weapons from Wendy and was on board a private airship "provided" by the Schnee Dust Company, heading back towards Vale when his scroll rung.
"I didn't think the head master of Beacon would be one to call a student during break." Itachi said
I don't but if I may ask where are you exactly?
"On my way back to Vale from Atlas."
So you are not going to pass by Argus... the line was silent for a few seconds before he continued There is a favor I wish to ask.
"A favor?"
Well more like a job, you see there have been reports of missing children being taken off the streets over the past three weeks, a few hunters and the local authorities have tried to find the missing children, but none were successful.
Itachi narrowed his eyes. "I'll find the children."
Thank you, Mr. Uchiha, I assure you, there will be a rew-
"Keep the reward." Itachi said as he walked up to the pilot "My reward will be having rescued the children."
I'll send you all the information that has been given to me. Ozpin said as Itachi felt the scroll vibrate and began reading through the Intel. I will be awaiting your call.
"Hn." Itachi hung up on the call "Head towards Argus." The pilot didn't question anything as he change the course of the ship.
Sundown
Itachi was walking around Argus, the streets were filled with people making their way home or enjoying a nice stroll. The information given to him was that younger children were being abducted during night hours. When Itachi had arrived, he rented a room for a couple of days, where he stashed his weapons inside of a scroll and hid it.
Itachi had moved to a different side of the town as the streets were emptier, he had been traveling from rooftop to rooftop to get a better view before he jumped down into an alleyway and in a poof of smoke, his appearance had changed to that of a Four year old version of himself in his black shirt and white shorts he wore when he was a kid. Itachi walked out of the alleyway and onto the dark streets for a few minutes when he felt as if he was being watched. Itachi sat down leaning on a wall and pulled his knees towards his face and was pretending to sob.
After a few seconds he heard a vehicle pull up to where he was as someone had exited the vehicle.
"Hey little guy, what are you doing out here by yourself?"
Itachi looked up at the woman, she was an officer with light green hair and her partner with light brown hair was in the vehicle watching. "I'm lost." He replied, he was going to reveal himself but the way her partner was looking around the area in alert made him continue his act.
"It's okay little guy, how about you come with us back to the station, and we'll try to find and contact your parents." The female officer said as Itachi stood up and the officer grabbed his hand and opened the door for him to get in "Here's a lollipop."
Itachi accepted the lollipop from the officer as she sat in the front seat. Itachi didn't eat the lollipop instead he looked around at the buildings. He narrowed his eyes. He had been on the rooftops getting a good layout of the city and he knew that they were headed the opposite direction of the police station.
"This one is adorable." Itachi heard the brown haired officer whisper
"How much do you think he'll go for?" the green haired officer asked
"He's quite young and is better looking than the others." She whispered as she looked at the rear view mirror and saw that Itachi wasn't eating the lollipop "He's not eating it."
The green haired officer looked back at him and smiled. "You don't like the lollipop?"
"What I don't like is you two kidnapping defenseless children." Itachi replied his Sharingan flaring to life as the officer froze in her seat.
"What the-" The brown haired officer looked at him in the rear view mirror only to feel paralyzed and her own body betraying her as they came to a stop.
"Now, tell me, where are the other children and who else is involved in this."
The green haired officer began to talk. "Underground facility outside of Argus..."
"...there are two other officers involved, and are at the facility with the other children." the brown haired finished
"For what?"
"They are to be redesigned and sold to the highest bidder."
Itachi narrowed his eyes. 'Redesigned?' Itachi placed the lollipop in his pocket as the two woman faced forward as he let them out of the genjutsu.
"Huh?" The green haired officer said looking around "Why have we stopped?"
"I-I don't know." The brown haired officer looked back and saw Itachi leaning on the door asleep "Something isn't right."
Her partner waved it off. "Maybe it's just our imagination."
The Next Day
Itachi was in a large room with the other children, all of them were young, all of them different, both human and different types of faunus. Itachi had feighned sleeping and made mental notes of how long they had driven and which direction they had gone, southwest.
He had been blindfolded when entering the facility and had removed it when they had dumped him in the room hours ago. Now he tried to keep the children calm, letting them know that everything would be okay and that help would come.
After a few hours a new figure came into the room. A woman with purple hair brought in a cart with food and was distributing it evenly among the children. As she was getting to Itachi a little boy clamped onto her leg and began crying.
"I want my mommy!"
"Let go you little shit!"
She was about to punch the young boy, but Itachi had protected the little boy by taking the brunt of the punch. The little boy looked at Itachi eyes widened. "It's okay." Itachi said "You'll see your mommy soon." Itachi could take this whole place down if he wanted to, but there was more to it, he was waiting and enduring until the bidders were here to take them all down at once. It wouldn't do any good if all of those involved in this illegal activity were not caught.
"Stop giving them hope!" The woman grabbed Itachi by the shirt and pulled him up to her level "How about I teach you a lesson in front of everyone." The woman tossed him towards the wall "Get up, take your shirt off and place your hands on the wall."
Itachi did as asked. He removed his shirt, he placed his hands on the wall and the next thing he felt was being struck on his back by a whip. It didn't stop until he was struck nine more times, the woman laughed as Itachi took every lashing without making a sound.
"Quite the tough one aren't you, but looks like I'll have to stop here." The woman said placing her whip on her hip "Don't want to damage the goods before they go on sale." she looked around at the frightened eyes of the children "Let this be a lesson to you all, no one is coming to save you, all of you will never see your parents again, you will be instructed and you will obey any and every order given to you." She grabbed the cart and made her way out of the room but not before looking at Itachi "Don't think that's all you're getting, I'm going to let it heal first then we'll go at it again."She grinned and left.
Itachi put his shirt back on as his back stung. It didn't break his skin so there wouldn't be any scars, but he will have to deal with the stinging for a while, but it was easily bearable. He had been suppressing his aura so that the woman would not realize he wasn't as defenseless as she thought. He would not let his aura heal the bruising to not raise any suspicion when she would come back to give him more lashings. He walked up to the little boy and smiled at him as he patted his head.
Two Days Later
It was their third day here, and just like the woman said, she had returned couple more times and lashed at his bare skin with her whip. His back begun to sting more than before but like before, his back was only red and left without a scar, and now today was the day of the auctions. He could finally return these children back to their families.
Outside of the Facility
The two female officers from before were making their way to the facility when they spotted a hooded figure walking on the path towards the same direction. They pulled up next to him as the driver rolled down her window.
"You lost there p-"
She didn't finish her sentence as the figure reached into the vehicle slamming her face into the steering wheel before shooting her partner with a paralyzing bullet. The green haired woman's eyes widened as she stared at the red helmet.
"You two have been doing some bad stuff." Red Hood opened the door pulling the brown haired officer from the vehicle before placing hand cuffs on her and tossing her into the back where he found a lollipop on the floor, he undid the wrapper and gave it to the tied up officer before getting in the driver seat "So, Mrs. Officer you're going to get me in."
"Y-You..."
Red Hood placed his pistol on her forehead "Don't do anything stupid."
With Itachi
Lights above the room began to shine brighter as the floor beneath them moved down as they were not surrounded by concrete walls anymore, but instead by glass and on the other side of the glass rich men and woman sitting down in luxurious chairs as they sipped on fine wine, their faces obscured by masks.
Their eyes were on the children as Itachi could feel most of their gazes on him. Then he heard someone shout and point at him. "300,000 Lien for him with those cat ears!" The woman had moved her finger to a cat Faunus with black hair
"700,000 lien for that boy with that girls dog ears!" A man shouted
Itachi balled his hands into fists. When they meant by redesign, they meant to remove appendages of the Faunus and add them to another. The bets kept getting higher as Itachi had enough. He undid his transformation as he stood in the middle, in his Reaper outfit and mask. Everyone gasped as kunai flew across the room stabbing into certain points in the glass.
"Can't break through these, punk." An older woman said but everyone's eyes widened when cracks started to form on the glass and it shattered. "No!"
Itachis' Susanoo formed around him and the children keeping them safe inside it as took hold of the bidders as he turned to them to face him as he looked at each of the bidders in the eyes trapping them in an individual genjutsu before tossing them at a wall.
Itachi narrowed his eyes as he thought this was too easy and wondered where all the security was, but his question was answered when a hole was blown up into the wall and in came Red Hood.
The two stared each other down, Itachi looked passed him and saw the unconscious, not dead, bodies of the body guards and security on the ground.
"Seems you have it under control kid." Red Hood said looking at the spectral figure surrounding him and the kids "Ah, so that's who you're..."
Itachi narrowed his eyes as Red Hood placed a finger on his helmet and started talking with someone.
"I'm busy, what do you want?" "Cinder?" "I remember, what the hell does she want with me?" "I'm bu-" "...I'll be back, before noon tomorrow." Red Hood had been looking at Itachi the whole time as he spoke "We'll meet again, kid."
And with that Red Hood dropped a smoke pellet on the ground, white smoke covering his form as the smoke grew in size and when it disappeared so had he. Itachi panted heavily as he fell to a knee, sweat running down his face as he removed his mask and faced the ground as he covered his mouth and coughed as blood soaked his hand and it splattered on the ground and his Susanoo faded.
Itachi slowly walked towards one of the bidders as he grabbed their phone from their pocket and began to dial a number.
Hello?
"Ozpin...I have the children, can you trace this phone?"
I can, but tell me, are the kids and yourself okay?
"The kids are fine, they are safe."
And yourself?
"Just trace the phone, call the authorities or the Atlesian base at Argus, some hunters as well, I'm sure there will be Grimm lurking around, and there are a lot of casualties, southwest of Argus, underground facility."
Mr. Uchiha are you okay? Do you need any medical attention...Mr. Uchiha? Mr. Uchiha? Itachi?!
Itachi had dropped the phone and made his way back to the children as he gathered them together. "Help is...on the...way." Itachi said as he felt a small hand grab onto his.
"Are you okay?" The small child asked
Itachi nodded. "I just need to rest a little, but don't worry, I'll be fine." Itachi sat down on the ground as the children all sat close to him and they waited. 'I didn't think it would be this much of a drawback...I need to get the pills from the room...'
Somewhere Else
"Where is he?"
Torchwick looked at the black haired girl.
"Care to be more specific?"
"I believe you know who I speak of, Roman."
"He said he had business to take care of."
"And you just let him go?"
"If you're looking for him, why not just call the guy?"
"I have my reasons, now call him back from wherever he is."
Torchwick sighed. "Fine, but don't blame me if he puts a bullet in you." Torchwick grabbed his phone and dialed
I'm busy, what do you want?
"Cinder needs you to come back immediately."
Cinder?
"Ah yes, you two have never really been formally introduced." Torchwick said as he adjusted his hat "Remember the girl with the flames piloti-"
I remember, what the hell does she want with me?
Cinder walked up to Torchwick and grabbed his phone. "I have a job that will need of your assistance."
I'm bu-
"It involves your ex-partner."
...I'll be back, before noon tomorrow.
"Excellent." Cinder said as she hung up "Now was that so hard?"
I apologize about the delay, it was supposed to be up last weekend but I had some errands to run and a family members birthday party to attend. As well as some things to change and add or remove in this chapter. This chapter would have been uploaded earlier today but...I was playing Jump Force all day...lol. We got a sneak peak of Itachi's semblance! It was suppose to be shadows at first but decided with flames. It was also suppose to be a bit different and more original, but this transformation is I would say identical to a power from a different anime character, but will have it's differences and drawbacks. Tell me what you think about his semblance and what he will be able to do with it.
Author Facts- I like throwing in cameos, elements and other things from different anime or shows in my stories. Which I'm sure some of you have noticed.
Question Time!- Even though it was only a glimpse, do you think Itachi should start using his semblance more or not?
The Real Hell Fire- Thank you!
GunBlade2018- Hello! Thank you and I try to keep him sort of the same, but with now living in Remnant and not having to worry about everyone trying to kill him, he will have some changes, such as opening up more to the girls and his friends.
Neema Amiry- Thank you.
K1NG and J0K3R- Thank you. And it's true, there are many stories where boom they are instantly falling for one another after the first chapter or two. Right now we can see it's mostly the girls who are showing romantic affection, but Itachi will end up reciprocating in small ways. He does use kunai depending on the situation he finds himself in. if you mean seals for sealing, than he does use them, for certain things such as privacy, or to keep his items stored. Seals as in using Ninjutsu, he is currently still hiding the fact that he is not of Remnant, because to me it still seems to early for everyone to find out about the multiverse. The disease will bring worries, which is why he is trying to keep it under wraps, but a certain Faunus of ours is beginning to notice. Him being reaper will bring in questions mostly from Blake, because out of everyone she is the one closest to Reaper. Him using Jiraiya's name as a cover will be kept under wraps until later on, but won't bring much drama than a few mad blushing faces from some girls and smirks from others and so on lol.
Shadow-Shinobi666- Thank you.
Mr. Haziq- She has her good moments lol No one would think twice about Itachi's partner sitting on his bed, but they would if some other girl was found in his bed.
keybladelight- I wouldn't say he's flirting with them just yet, but he is trying to comfort them. It won't be the last time we hear him say Kakashi's words. Them finding about his past will still be a good while from now, but they will! They all will. His sickness is growing and he will have to be careful about how he uses his chakra.
razmire- Yeah, it would be difficult to explain to the others how he can turn into multiple crows and Ozpins suspicion of him and who he really is would grow. Velvet actually has something similar, but instead of copying their semblance, she copies their fighting style, such as it's show during Beacons fall, where he uses her weapon to duplicate others weapons, but uses her semblance to be able to use those weapons as if they were her own. It is difficult, and I did think of one, which you'll have already seen before reading this reply, even if it is only a small glimpse. The Sharingan is a Kekkei Genkai, but I understand what you meant.
That one Kitsune- Thank you! Here it is! Will he? Who knows? *Looks away and Whistles* I already have planned out what will happen at that time, so you just have to wait and see. Yes I did! MAMA ROSE IS BEAUTIFUL! SUMMER ROSE HAS MADE MY WAIFU LIST!
Hamilton406- They would be a deadly team, but we want to give the villains an actual chance to do evil. Ah, what am I saying? They don't stand a chance against Itachi! Well, unless they had a Kekkei Genkai user on their side that was strong enough to actually fight against Itachi or at the least hold him back for a couple minutes or seconds.
Greer123- I am, Thank you.
