Chapter 13: Akido and Kenta

Angel growled lightly when the sunlight streaming into her face woke her. She immediately went to a mirror to check her neck. Sure enough there were purple-black fingers wrapped around the pale curve of her neck. She glared at them. 'Stupid man.' She ran a brush through her thick, tangled hair and walked to kitchen. 'Food…' She licked her lips when she saw all the food laid out before her. Mikoto smiled at her gently. "Feeling better?" Angel just shook her head and frowned. "Hmm, well, they do look worse this morning." Angel grimaced. 'I know…' She quickly scooped up some food and began to eat it. After a couple of minutes she left, headed to the back yard, and just stood on the porch; letting the wind blow through her hair.

She smiled briefly but it froze as she noticed a dark shadow at the edge forest move back into the fringe of trees. She moved quicker than she remembered she could, and was soon running after the shadowy figure. He/she was fast but she caught up to him/her rather quickly. She tackled him/her towards the ground, discovering in the process that it was in fact a guy. She used a transportation jutsu as they fell so they both landed on the wood floors of the Uchiha mansion. "Umph." The deep grunt of pain from her 'prisoner' confirmed her conclusion that it most certainly was a man. "Why were you lurking in the forest?" She was angry when her voice cracked. He sat up, his hood falling back to reveal long silver hair in a long ponytail. He turned to her, his only visible yellow eye stunning her into silence. 'Yellow…an interesting eye color…he also has yellow eyes…' "I wished to speak with the girl whom wishes to defy my former…master." 'Well…it seems he doesn't like the creepy snake any more than I do…excellent…' "About what, exactly?"

A smirk curled the corner of his lips. "Getting rid of him, of course." She was glad they were in a room with no windows even as an answering smirk twisted her lips. "Of course." She was proud that her voice didn't crack (this time). He stood and helped her up before removing his dark cloak. His shirt was a black v-neck, his pants looked like leather (also black), and his black shinobi sandals had a band of white at the top. He was also wearing a white belt and black fingerless gloves. The slashed, and yellow, music note hitai-ate caught her attention especially since the ends were so long and fluttered around his shoulders in the little breezes he created with his movement. She was also distracted by his long hair. Her fingers twitched slightly. 'I want to play with his hair so badly! Almost more than I want to play with Itachi's. It looks so soft!' He raised an eyebrow at her staring. "What exactly has caught your attention besides how handsome I am?" She rolled her eyes at his obviously overinflated ego before pointing at her head. He blinked at her, a blank look on his face. "What? My hair?"

She merely nodded as an answer. "Why, because it's silver?" She tapped her chin, trying to find a way to say it without actually having to say it. And Itachi walks by, then backtracks and walks in. '…crap…this is just great…' Itachi's eyes narrowed at the interesting man in front of her. "Who is this?" Angel's new partner in crime just smiled. "I am Akido Itou and her new partner." Itachi glanced at her. "Partner?" She pointed at her throat and murmured, "To kill him." She twitched angrily; her voice had cracked again. "You can't kill him with us?" Angel assumed that the 'us' meant him and Sakura but she didn't get the chance to respond. "I was one of Orochimaru's underlings before I defected and escaped." '…the slash…' "You expect us to trust someone who used to take orders from him?" Angel interrupted before anyone could say anything else. "Used to, Itachi. Used to." She turned towards the silver haired male just as his head shot up. "Kenta, get out here."

They turned to see another man leave the shadows. Shaggy black hair with a dark green streak over his left eye, wearing a black shirt, dark green leather pants, and black shinobi sandals. Akido swept an arm out in her direction. "This is our new partner in crime." He then sent her a sheepish look. "I never did catch your name." She smiled gently. "Sukoshi, you can call me Angel though." Kenta frowned and moved to stand in front of her. "May I?" He motioned to her neck. She nodded and tilted her head back. He placed his hands gently around her throat. She felt the slightly warm chakra slid over her neck soothingly. She sighed. 'His chakra isn't cool like Sakura's…how interesting. I thought all medical chakra was cool.' He dropped his hands after a minute. "Better?" She smiled brightly. "Yes, much better. Thank you."

"It wasn't a problem Sukoshi." Akido nodded. "You look much better with those nasty bruises on your neck gone." She laughed. "Thanks for the compliment, oh Charming One." 'I'm just glad the pain is gone.' "So Akido, how long have you and Kenta known one another?" His yellow eye blinked at her before he grinned. "About four months now after he fell right into my lap. Literally." Her mouth twitched into a smile in amusement. "Kenta…where are you from?" She turned her curious gaze to him when she realized the others had stopped moving; like they were frozen. "So I was right. You are from the future like I am." She nodded. "So is my friend Sakura, who's also medic." He smiled briefly but it was gone once the other two men started to move. "Kenta doesn't talk much, about anything, much less his past so you shouldn't waste your breath asking him." 'Akido sounds disappointed by that…poor baby.' She shared a smile with Kenta, after all, he had revealed quite a bit of his past to her; it just happened to be everyone else's future.

Dude, the flip is dis? Dx …'cuz I dunno…enjoy? :D
