Chapter 25:
Kayoko jumped back to camp and landed softly onto the ground.
"Oi, I forgot to...Huh? Where the heck did they go..." Kayoko said as she noticed the empty camping-site.
Then all of a sudden she heard a melody enter her ears. She recognised the melody vaguely and knew it wasn't one of Kuchinabi's, so she followed the trail of sound, conceiling her presence along the way.
She stopped behind a tree to be out of sight and carefully looked at the open spot up ahead. There in the middle of a whole bunch of leaves, that were dancing around in the air, stood Itachi playing Kuchinabi's flute. As he stopped playing the leaves stopped dancing and started falling back down to the ground.
"Ah! That was so cool Itachi!" Kuchinabi exclaimed as she tightly embraced Itachi.
"Thank you very much, however do not grab me from behind like that..." Itachi said as he put Kuchinabi off him.
"Why not...It's not like anyone else is here..." Kuchinabi said and clinged back onto Itachi.
"Then how about I rephrase..." Itachi said.
"Hm, what?" Kuchinabi asked.
"If I say I don't want this, then I don't want this, continue doing it and I will definetely kill you when this mission is over..." Itachi stated.
Kuchinabi let go of him and slowly took a step or two back. Kayoko, who had been watching all of this, smirked as she continued looking at what was going on.
"Then...When do you want it? Or don't you just want it to be done by me...?" Kuchinabi asked.
"Not right now...Anyway, As promised I'll teach you the song and..." Itachi narrowed his eyes at a nearby tree.
"Kayoko...Hurry up and show yourself, you aren't interrupting..." Itachi said and Kayoko realised she was obviously detected.
"Ah...Ano...Ohio Itachi, Yeah I didn't want to interrupt anything so..." Kayoko said scratching the back of her head.
"What do you want?" Itachi asked.
"Well there was something so I came back to camp, but then I heard music being played and I was curious. But honestly Itachi, I didn't expect you to be such a sissy to play the flute." Kayoko said.
"Just for your information, I don't play it on a regular...I just needed to play a certain song thought to me by a certain someone." Itachi said as he walked past Kayoko.
"Still, Flutes are for sissies and girls." Kayoko stated grinning.
"You found the song familiar and that's what brought you here, isn't it?" Itachi asked.
"... Yeah so?" Kayoko asked.
"Then I assume you've figured out what that song was..." Itachi said and kept on walking.
"Hey hold on one second!" Kayoko said as she quickly went after Itachi.
"What song was it?" Kayoko asked as she caught up with Itachi and pulled his sleeve.
"If you haven't figured out, then there is no reason for me to tell you since you have forgotten it." Itachi stated.
"Got damn your annoying! Just tell what so freaking special about the damn song!" Kayoko yelled at him.
"That song..." Itachi said and kept on walking.
"Don't freaking leave without answering, you bastard!" Kayoko yelled.
"That song...is the Uchiha clan's song, thought to me by my mother..." Itachi stated.
Kayoko's arms dropped down and blankly stared out of shock at Itachi's back, while Itachi threw the flute with precision to Kuchinabi's hands.
"Sorry, Kuchinabi...Looks like I'll teach you another time." Itachi said and kept on walking.
"Why the hell...Would Itachi play such a song...?" That was the only question continuesly running trough Kayoko's mind. She grabbed her composure, her eyes showing some anger now as she ran after Itachi.
"Why..." Kayoko said as she jumped in front of Itachi, blocking his path.
"Why would I, who slayed the entire clan like they were animals, play a song I should despise since it's a song from our clan, eh?" Itachi spelled out Kayoko's question. Kayoko looked up to his eyes as it slowly started to rain.
"The answer is simple and obvious Kayoko..." Itachi said as he walked up to her and pulled her closer.
"It's to remember..." Itachi whispered in her ear before letting go off her and continue on walking.
"Remember what? How you killed all of them? What kind of rush it gave you! WHAT!" Kayoko yelled as she turned around.
"What comes to your mind first when I say Uchiha clan? That's your answer..." Itachi said as he stopped walking. Just then a falcon landed on Itachi's shoulder.
"So here you guys are...Damn sharkface is getting impatient for Kayoko-san to come so..." Dorimaru stated and then noticed Itachi staring at Kayoko, who had sunken away in her trail of thoughts.
"The first thing I think about is all the great people and times I had there...only ending with the death of them all...But the first thing is definetely...Itachi can't be thinking of that! He...He just can't be thinking about...all of his victims...It's just..." Kayoko thought and started to shiver from the cold rain that had dripped trough the opening on top of her robe.
"Dorimaru, take Kuchinabi and go back to camp..." Itachi stated. Dorimaru nodded, flew off Itachi and passed Kayoko and then transformed into his human form as he landed in front of Kuchinabi.
"Then, Let's go..." Dorimaru said and Kuchinabi nodded.
"Why..." Kayoko said as soon as Dorimaru and Kuchinabi were out of sigh.
"It keeps me going..." Itachi said as he walked over to her.
"Just exactly hat is your purpose or what did you have in mind when you killed everyone..." Kayoko said.
"If I explained it to you right now, you wouldn't believe it or understand it...As for the reason why I played that song...I tell you one thing..." Itachi said and looked up to the sky. Kayoko looked up to him as he continued staring at the darkened sky.
"The number one person who I had the most trouble killing was my mother...It was neccesary but it was still hard..." Itachi said.
"So...You wanted to remember your mom?" Kayoko asked somewhat in disbelief.
"Yeah...And what my orignal purpose was..." Itachi said and slightly raised a smile.
"...You really are an idiot, you know that?" Kayoko said as she pushed herself against Itachi. Itachi looked back down to her and saw her slightly smiling.
"My original purpose will develop on his own so if you think I should've stayed in Konoha for that then you are mistaken..." Itachi stated.
"After all this time...You still won't let me know what goes on in your heart and mind, do you...?" Kayoko asked as Itachi layed an arm around her.
"Kayoko..." Itachi said and Kayoko slightly titled her head up to look at Itachi. Itachi then grabbed her up with one arm and looked at her with his sharingan eyes.
"There are only four of us left and I am the one who carries appearently a fate that I do not even understand yet, so there is no time for this kind of thing." Itachi said.
"Four of us?" Kayoko asked confused.
"I unlocked a new power in that last battle, I don't know if I can teach you or if you can aquire it, but you must also grow stronger." Itachi stated.
"You said four of us, what do you..." Kayoko said as she stared into Itachi's eyes.
"Ah...Looks like I said something that's incorrect...It doesn't matter...Don't worry about me or what happened...Grow stronger and then maybe one day..." Itachi said.
"One day...what?" Kayoko asked. Itachi smiled at Kayoko, dropped her back down and then started walking off.
"I believe I just remembered something else as well...I also believe Kisame is waiting for you, Tomorrow we're heading for Arashi-sama's place..." Itachi said smirking as he walked back to camp.
"Huh? Are you already recovered then?" Kayoko asked as she ran after Itachi.
"Yeah, I believe that rain did miracles for me." Itachi said smirking as the sun slowly came back out.
"See! You are an idiot! rain can't heal you!" Kayoko yelled and whacked him around the head.
"You'd be surprised what I've come to realise lately..." Itachi stated as he rubbed his soar head.
"Tsch...Anyway I'll get stronger and then one day I can even kick your ass." Kayoko said and stuck her tongue out at Itachi.
"Just try to keep up with me, little girl." Itachi said smirking.
"Oi! I'm older then you!" Kayoko pointed out.
"You're still smaller then me so I can call you little girl..." Itachi pointed out.
"No you can't! What the heck says little girl to you about this body huh!" Kayoko said and pointed out every feminine body part of hers. Itachi let out a sigh and shook his head.
"Maybe it's because I'm still pretty young but I wonder if I'll ever understand you woman..." Itachi said as he walked past her.
"Hah! See! You called me a woman! Take that mister wise-guy!" Kayoko said pointing at Itachi.
"...Talk about mood swings...I wonder if..." Itachi thought.
"...Dorimaru...Come here, I want to use Tsukuyomi on you..." Itachi called out as he reached camp with hyper-active somewhat angered Kayoko.
"Huh? Why that?" Dorimaru asked.
"...I don't want to explain..." As he looked at Kayoko from the corner of his eyes, who was now bragging against Kuchinabi that Itachi called her a woman.
"Ah I see...Fine." Dorimaru said.
"Let's hurry..." Itachi said as he noticed Kuchinabi's reaction to Kayoko's statements and acting. A few seconds later the two of them found themselves in the world of Tsukuyomi.
"So what are we going to do here?" Dorimaru asked. He then noticed two Itachi's standing around him.
"We'll train here for the time being...Since I can be at two places at the same time here, I can also do something else." Itachi stated.
"Ah phew...I was scared you were going to let me train two against one." Dorimaru stated.
"Well I can always add more when the training becomes to easy...Now just start training...I'll be back when I'm done with something." Itachi said and started walking off.
"Hmm...Come to think of it...she never told me how to get to her when I'm using this technique...so..." Itachi pondered as he walked trough the red void, hearing sounds of battle in the distance.
"Ow wait...Since I control everything here...I probably also control the entrance to that forest of hers or whatever..." Itachi said and closed his eyes to focus. When he reopend them, there stood a large door in front of him.
"...That was pretty easy..." Itachi said as he opend the door. On the other side was a beautifull dark forest, shining in the moon light.
"Well...Let's see then." Itachi said and walked trough the forest. He soon reached an open spot, the same open spot as he was in his 'dream' the night before.
"I didn't expect to see you so soon, my dear Itachi." The woman's voice echoed trough the area.
"Well there are some things I needed to discuss with you..." Itachi said.
"Ow, and what might that be?" The woman asked as she turned around. She was smiling at him and Itachi must say that it was quite a beautifull smile. Then again the entire scenery pretty much made the woman look amazing. He figured that it was obviously her doing, but he didn't really care about that.
"You are the goddess of the moon, aren't you? Tsukuyomi..." Itachi stated.
"Hm, I wondered when you'd call me by my name...It sounds so good." Tsukuyomi said smiling even more tempting.
"...Then I assume you control the moon and such..." Itachi stated. The woman flashed away and then reappeared in front of Itachi, pushing her body against his.
"You know, I control a lot more then just that." She said as she run a finger over Itachi's face.
"...I believe that I sometime ago heard someone say that the moon has influence on a woman's periodes...Is that right?" Itachi asked, ignoring her previous statement.
"Yeah it does." She said smiling innocently at Itachi again.
"THEN WHY THE HELL DID YOU NEED TO MAKE KAYOKO HAVE HERS RIGHT NOW!" Itachi shouted, litterally knocking Tsukuyomi back by the sound.
"...Haha, Sorry couldn't help it...Thing must resolve normally you know." Tsukuyomi said as she got up.
"...and please don't tell me it just so happens that Kuchinabi also has hers now..." Itachi said mostly to himself.
"Yes she is, what you don't like it when woman are getting ready to mate?" She said, giving Itachi a naughty leer.
"If they were less trouble I wouldn't care..." Itachi stated somewhat annoyed.
"Is that all you came to ask?" Tsukuyomi asked.
"Hm...No that's not all..." Itachi stated.
"Ow...you want more? That's fine...I...can...make...all...your...dreams...come...true..." Tsukuyomi stated as she suddenly appeared behind Itachi, laying her arms around his neck.
"...Then let's fight in order to train me." Itachi stated. Tsukuyomi looked surprised at him. She suspected some other things but never that he wanted to fight her.
"Hmph, If that's what my dear wants..." Tsukuyomi said as she flashed and reappeared in front of Itachi.
"Then that's what my dear gets." Tsukuyomi said as she began to glow with chakra.
"I have no desire to kill you and I assume you have no desire to kill me...but please do not hold back...And I'm not really your dear..." Itachi stated.
"Don't worry, I will never kill someone as cute as you..." Tsukuyomi said and gave Itachi a wink.
"Please be careful...I don't want to kill you accidently so I will hold back the largest part of my power...But still unleash enough for your pleasures, my darling." Tsukuyomi warned Itachi.
"Then...Let's go..." Itachi said and rushed towards Tsukuyomi.
"You're a fool to go directly from the front my dear!" Tsukuyomi exclaimed as she unleashed a wave of chakra towards Itachi.
"You're a fool to believe I would go directly." Itachi said smirking as his Kage Bunshin popped off and he appeared behind Tsukuyomi. He went for a kick towards her head, but Tsukuyomi just smiled as she disappeared.
Itachi thus missed her, only to find out she appeared behind him and grabbed his leg. He quickly dropped his hands down to the ground as he raised his other leg to kick Tsukuyomi away. Tsukuyomi caught this leg as well but Itachi just smirked as he saw his change.
He partly jumped up with his hands and reached towards Tsukuyomi's legs, in order to take her down. However, He never was even able to touch them as Tsukuyomi threw him up in the air.
"Amazing...She's an opponent unlike any other...As expected from a goddess." Itachi thought smiling. Itachi flashed trough the seals as he drifted further up in to the sky.
"Katon..." Itachi said and the same word echoed trough the entire area by Tsukuyomi's voice.
"Yomikakyou no Jutsu!" Echoed trough the entire area as two gigantic fireballs were on a collision course, one red the other white. Itachi landed as the two fireballs collided and exploded, leaving a smiling Tsukuyomi in it's light and a serious looking Itachi.
"Interesting..." Itachi said.
"Impressed?" Tsukuyomi asked smiling.
"Hardly." Itachi replied smiling back at her.
Itachi ran back at her and this time Tsukuyomi decided close range combat would be fun. After exchanging a couple of punches and kicks, Tsukuyomi stopped a kick from Itachi and they jumped away from each other.
"You understand, don't you my dear? It's not that you are able to read my movements but I'm letting you read them." Tsukuyomi said.
"It's obvious...If you are able to disappear and reappear behind me from a distance in an instant, then I wouldn't be able to see your movements if you really didn't want me to see." Itachi stated. Tsukuyomi raised a smile at Itachi and Itachi smirked back at her.
"As expected of my goddess..." Itachi said smirking as he ran towards her.
"My... goddess..." Tsukuyomi said with wide eyes. She didn't realise Itachi was close to her and with a crushing kick to her head, he send Tsukuyomi flying trugh the forest.
"However, even a goddess shouldn't drop her guard..." Itachi said as he looked to his side to see the path of destruction he somewhat had created.
"She's gone! crap...!" Itachi thought as his eyes widened and he spinned around. However, what he found was not an enraged goddess.Nor a kunai chakra, punch or kick thrown at him. He was tightly embraced in a hug by the moon goddess.
"Awww! You called me your goddess! Your so sweet!" Tsukuyomi exclaimed as she hugged Itachi even tighter.
"What are you doing!" Itachi managed to brind out as the air was litterally squeezed out of him.
"I'm going to love you forever and ever and ever! No matter what my sister says, you're mine until the end of time!" Tsukuyomi said and then tried to kiss Itachi.
"Ah! Get away from me!" Itachi exclaimed as he managed to get out of her grasp and started running for his life.
"Why are you running?" Tsukuyomi as she chased Itachi.
"Because I'm being chased by a goddess that has lost it..." Itachi said mostly to himself but Tsukuyomi heard it anyway.
"I have not lost it! I just wanna love you and hold you and..." Tsukuyomi said.
"Are you retarded! We are supposed to fight eachother to train my skills!" Itachi exclaimed.
"Gotcha..." Tsukuyomi said as she again embraced Itachi from behind.
"...Damn I forgot a second about that rediculous speed..." Itachi muttered, cursing himself for his forgetfullness.
"Hmm...You know I can keep you here forever and ever..." Tsukuyomi said as she pressed her cheek against his.
"...I'd kill myself." Itachi stated.
"Aw...That's not nice..." Tsukuyomi said.
"...It's not supposed to be nice." Itachi stated with twitching eyes.
"But you know I could atleast hold you here untill I'm bored...After all I'm your goddess, right?" Tsukuyomi asked smiling.
"Not exactly..." Itachi stated.
"Hm, but you said so yourself." Tsukuyomi replied.
"That was to get you off guard..." Itachi stated.
"Well even so, I don't feel like fighting you anymore...So how about I create a nice dinner for the two of us so we can get to know eachother a bit better?" Tsukuyomi asked as she leered at Itachi.
"...You do realise I'm only here because of a chakra link and my use of your technique...If I stop that technique I'll be back in the real world..." Itachi stated.
"So basically your saying 'If you want to spend time with me it must be training or else I'll leave right now', eh?" Tsukuyomi asked.
"Yeah..." Itachi replied.
"Your so cu----te. Then let's continue training, ne?" Tsukuyomi asked smiling.
"...Now I know why people stop believing in gods and goddesses...they are weird..." Itachi said shaking his head.
"Well you want to train or not?" Tsukuyomi asked as she finally let go off Itachi.
"...Yes." Itachi replied and readied himself for combat again. A whole lot later, the training was ended when Itachi was thrown against a tree pretty damn hard.
"Itachi! Are you ok?" Tsukuyomi said as she caught Itachi, who was falling down.
"Hehe...Thank you for training with me. But I think that will be all as I'm losing control over the jutsu." Itachi said smiling.
"Don't worry, I'll lend you some of my strength...It will be mixed with your chakra so when you are back in your body, mix some chakra and you'll be just ok." Tsukuyomi said smiling warmly at him.
"Amazing...Then, till next time." Itachi said. Tsukuyomi bend over to try and kiss Itachi but he was already back to the real world.
"Damn, just you wait my dear, next time I'll definetely kiss you." Tsukuyomi said smiling.
Itachi then regained consiousness in the real world. He was breathing heavy, as he knew that it probably strained his body a lot.
"Geez, you two finally out of it? It took you fifteen minutes Itachi! How long have you been there!" Kayoko exclaimed. Itachi looked up and saw Dorimaru also breathing quite heavy, but no where near as heavy as Itachi.
"I don't know, long enough to mentally train myself." Itachi stated.
"You got that right...I feel like I've trained for hours." Dorimaru stated.
"Hours? Itachi what the hell were you doing to lose control over it that much?" Kayoko asked.
"...Nothing of interest to you." Itachi stated.
"Hm...Is that so?" Kayoko asked.
"More importantly...Kuchinabi, do you also like chocolate?" Itachi asked.
"Huh? Well yeah! I do!" Kuchinabi said smiling.
"Pure, White or Milk?" Itachi asked.
"Milk." She said smiling.
"Ano...Itachi..." Kayoko said and looked at him questioningly.
"Don't worry Kayoko...I remember what you like..." Itachi whispered in her ear and then gave her a small only slightly noticeble kiss on her cheek.
"Then...I'll be back." Itachi said and jumped off. Kayoko slightly blushed as she somewhat stared at the place where Itachi was standing before.
"I don't know what he was doing in the Tsukuyomi world but Itachi-san seems different, doesn't he?" Dorimaru stated.
"That chakra was a bit weird, wasn't it?" Kisame asked in reply.
"Maybe Itachi-kun has discovered some new powers to his sharingan! He's so amazing!" Kuchinabi said cheerful.
"A power that makes Itachi do something like that...? What the hell happened to him?" Kayoko wondered as remembered the small kiss Itachi gave her moments ago.
Meanwhile Itachi was jumping trough the forest, heading for the nearest town.
"What the hell was I thinking...Even trying to give Kayoko a kiss...Well I guess... it was a side effect to recovering my chakra by molding it with hers...However, such an ability...It's not just my chakra, but my entire body feels revived." Itachi thought and then smirked.
"Now to figure out a way to enter the world of Tsukuyomi without using Tsukuyomi on someone else and I could have an interesting advantage in any battle. Though I hope those side effects won't get too out of control...Then again I wonder how Kayoko would look when we are in the middle of a serious battle or training, I use Tsukuyomi's chakra to recover and then all of sudden start kissing and hugging her." Itachi thought smirking as he soon reached the edge of the town.
"A border town...To be exact, you have to go past this town to reach the country of lightning...Security is pretty tight around these places, last time we were lucky to be able to cross the border unnoticed...A guy in a dark robe attracts too much attention so I'd better hide my robe and forehead protector here..." Itachi stated as he took the before mentioned items and hid them in the tree.
"Let's get this over with then..." Itachi said, dropped down from the tree and entered the town.
