Chapter 35- Randomness saves the day.
Itachi paced around his room slowly. He had been doing this for about half an hour now, trying to think of a plan. However, one thing this story has taught me is that plans don't usually work, and it's best never to even think of them in the first place. Why doesn't Itachi know this? We'll never know.
So, here was Itachi thinking of a plan, but all the while forgetting it wouldn't work when Madara walked into his room looking rather disturbed. Why would he be disturbed? He had just watched Mizuke eat a starfish. Nuff said.
Itachi turned to glare at him with his trademark Uchiha glare, only to receive the same trademark Uchiha glare from Madara. They stood like this for a while until, "Tic-Toc-Tic-Toc- BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM"
Both Uchiha's jumped out of the way from the massive explosion that threatened to destroy the entire Akatsuki base. Then they ran out into the hall to see what had happened.
"Beep- This is a recorded message and chances are that if someone in hearing this I, Mizuke Kagamine am not here, I am also willing to bet that Uchiha Madara is listening. Well, if you are I think you're a horrible person and I hope you die a horrible and painful death. Also, did you really think I would leave the Akatsuki base completely unprotected? If you do not bring me back soon a series of explosions will go off that will destroy the entire mountain and set the entire forest all around on fire. Beep."
The message ended and everyone gathered around looked at least slightly shocked. After the shock wore off everyone turned to glare at Madara, since it was his fault you were gone.

You sat with your fire and awesome pile of random sea creatures you had caught. Looking at your make-shift calendar you gasped. Today was the day you had set the recorded explosion and message to go off. If you had been at the base you would have programmed it for a few days from now but nooo by now the base had probably already exploded. Shrugging you tended to your fire and put some clams to roast.

Madara looked around as he received various glares and threats from every member in the Akatsuki. He resisted the urge to smack himself in the face and went to go get Mizuke; she was the one who could stop the explosions.

"Yeesssss, my clams are ready." you said happily. You were really hungry and you really needed this meal to fill you up. Picking the clam up you got out your make-shift coral spoon and you were about to dig in when, "Mizuke, you are coming with me."
Looking at Madara you yelled, "Noooo!!! Five more minutes, let me eat!!!!" Madara ignored your comment and picked you up, making you drop your clam. Sighing you let your hopes of getting food down and waited to see where Madara would teleport you to.
Everything went black and then you were standing in the middle of the Akatsuki base. Itachi saw you and your first reaction was to run over to Itachi, which you did. You gave him a huge hug, which he returned slightly.
However, the happy moment was ruined by, "Come on, deactivate the bombs." Turning around to glare at Madara you said, "Hehe, only if you make the blood seal go away, seriously I look like a retard with a freaking red stripe going down my face." He narrowed his eyes at you and then said, "No, you will get rid of the bombs or-"
"Or what!? You'll take away my food, well you can't get rid of every single fish in the ocean. Or maybe you'll put me in the illusion again, well I don't care. I will never ever help you." you interrupted angrily.
Suddenly you felt yourself being thrown across the room and into a wall. You hissed in pain as you got up, your arm hurt a lot. Normally, such a little throw would have no effect on you, but you were far from normal right now. The blood seal had weakened you greatly and you guessed that a piece of paper could be stronger then you right now.
Madara glared at you from across the room and then he said in a deadly deep voice, "Do you want me to continue what I began five days ago, we both know I could." He was referring to the creepy little kiss. Everyone looked at you confused, since they had no idea what Madara had meant.
You looked at Itachi and then at Madara. After sighing you said in monotone, "Fine, I'll de-activate the bombs." Smirking, Madara left the room and you went to go find the remaining bombs. They were all hidden in various parts of the base only accessible by earth bending.
Just when you were finishing with the last bomb Itachi walked up to you and said, "What did he do to you?" You gave him a sad smile and said, "Nothing yet." Itachi walked up to you and traced the red blood seal on your left cheek. You said nothing, but finished de-activating the last bomb.
Then you looked up and Itachi and said, "I guess I have to get back to Madara now, if I stay anymore my fire will go out and my clams will get cold." If Itachi looked confused at your statement he didn't show it but instead he said, "Don't go back, I wont let him get you again."
You smiled as how sweet that sounded but then said, "Its okay, I got a plan." Uh-oh. A plan!! Are you insane!? Do you not get the moral of the story!!? Sigh, it's your problem not mine. Itachi continued with, "I found this in the garbage pile that was in Orochimaru's old room." Then he gave you a bracelet that had the kanji for 'Invisibility' on it."
Your eyes widened and you wondered if it actually made you invisible. As if reading your mind Itachi said, "It doesn't make you invisible, but it hides any trace of chakra, meaning if you ran away no one could find you using any chakra seeking techniques."
Mouthing a 'wow' you put the bracelet on and Itachi nodded when he felt your chakra disappear. Then you turned to Itachi to say something, but then you felt yourself being embraced in a gentle hug. Smiling you returned the hug and you heard Itachi say, "Run Mizuke, run far away from Madara, if luck is on our side we may see each other again in a couple of years." Not quite understanding what Itachi meant you said, "Aren't you coming with me?" Itachi shook his head and then turned around and disappeared.

You looked at the spot where Itachi had been for the longest time, until you realized you had to get away from Madara while you could. Sighing sadly you turned around and ran toward the exit of the Akatsuki base. When you made it there you turned to run straight toward Konoha. You had to tell the Hokage what was going to happen so he could get a counter weapon for Madara. It was unlikely anything could get Madara but it was worth a shot.

Madara paced the halls of the Akatsuki base, he knew Mizuke could not have escaped because he had not felt her chakra leave. However, he didn't feel her chakra at all, and Itachi's was far away but alone. Narrowing his eyes Madara activated the Sharingan to see where she could be. After about five minutes of looking he swore under his breath. She was gone.
ItachiItachiItachi
You looked at Konoha's gates for what seemed like the millionth time. Quickly changing your appearance you walked into town calmly. No one seemed to suspect you, and everything around you was normal.
Now, how could you see the Hokage again? Security was probably extremely strong after your little stunt a month back. So, you just sat against the wall of a building beside the Hokage's office and waited. He would have to come out eventually and then you would talk to him.
It was midnight. Mid freaking night. The Hokage still had not come out of his office and you were getting pretty sleepy. Finally, you saw the doors open and the Hokage walked out alone. Jumping up you ran over to him and made your disguise go away. He sighed and then said, "We meet again."
You smiled a bit but then you said, "I'm going to get straight to the point. Madara, he is our common enemy and a huge problem. As you know he wants to destroy Konoha using me and I know a way to destroy him." The Hokage narrowed his eyes at you and then said, "Why should I trust you?"
Smirking you said, "You shouldn't, I said nothing of trust, I just said we could help each other." He nodded and then said, "Let's go somewhere else to discuss this." You gave him a wide smile and followed him as he led you to a secret room you had never even heard of.
"So you're saying you want me to get rid of the blood curse Madara put on you in return for you helping us defeat him." the Hokage said uncertainly. You nodded and said, "With the blood curse I will be of no help, I'll just be a puppet at his disposal."
The Hokage thought for a moment and then he said, "How do I know you won't betray me." You scoffed and then said, "Pfft, do you really think I would come to you if there was any other thing I could do to get rid of Madara? I need your help, or I'll be stuck with this creepy red stripe forever."
He was silent for another moment and then he said, "The only way to get rid of a blood curse placed by an Uchiha as strong as Madara is to make him remove it, im sorry." You looked unfazed and then you said, "I already knew that, is there anything you can use to over power the blood curse?"
Another minute of silence and then, "Aside from death the only thing you can do is get an even stronger blood curse that will make you do the opposite of the first one." That got you thinking, death was the only way. Sighing you got up and said, "I guess I'll see you tomorrow then." The Hokage narrowed his eyes at you and said, "Where are you going." Giving him a wide grin you said, "To die of course."

So, what was a good way to kill yourself and come back to life? Nothing bloody would work but it would have to be something quiet. After finding a good spot to sit down you made a clone of yourself. Your idea was to choke the clone while the clone choked you to kill you both at the same time. Then you would get a battery to shock you back to life.
Putting the battery down and wiring yourself up to it you set the shock timer for a minute from now. Standing in front of your clone you both began to choke each other. Your vision was getting blurry and you couldn't breath, that was the same for the other clone. Suddenly, everything went black and you could no longer feel your body. However, a second later you took a deep breath and screamed when you left yourself being shocked by the battery.
Ripping the wire off yourself you ran over to a stream to see if the blood curse was gone or not. You were happy to see it was gone, but there was blood dripping from your eye. After wiping it off you saw there was no trace of the blood curse and you happily went to go find yourself a place to sleep. You couldn't wait for morning to come so you could tell Hokage how you killed yourself.
ItachiItachiItachi
Man, you wished you had a camera right now. The look on the Hokage's face when he saw you was priceless. He looked like he had just seen a ghost and his mouth hung open when he saw that the blood curse was gone. You gave him a wide smirk and rushed over to see him.
He invited you in and you told him how you shocked yourself back to life. He looked surprised and then he asked you, "How did you know an electric shock would bring you back to life?" You shrugged and then said you had seen a bunch of boys kill a rat and then revive it by shocking it back in the academy. He nodded and then you said, "Well since the blood curse is gone I guess I'm going to go find Itachi. I just wanted to drop in and say good bye."
The Hokage nodded and you walked out of his office happily but not before saying, "I was bluffing, I have no idea how to kill Madara by the way."

Itachi was walking through the forest silently. He had no idea where to go, but he didn't care. It was all silent around him and he was feeling rather bored. He usually had to deal with a hyper Mizuke or an over talkative Sasuke, but there it was nothing. After a few days he got used to the silence and that's why he was so surprised when a bunny flew out of no where and smacked him on the face. Yes, a bunny.
ItachiItachiItachi
"Stupid Itachi, why the hell did he have to wander so deep in the forest!?" you grumbled as you walked after Itachi's chakra. Then you saw a cute little bunny jumping around and you got an evil idea, so you caught the bunny. Since your chakra was now untraceable you bet Itachi had no idea you were only a few hundred feet behind him.
Running as silently as you could you found a good place to watch Itachi and when he walked close to you, you threw the poor bunny at him as hard as you could. Itachi looked so surprised but then he narrowed his eyes and drew a kunai. You giggled happily and jumped down from the tree you were sitting on.
Meanwhile, the bunny got up off the ground, shook itself and then ran off away from the crazy female that threw him. You walked over to Itachi and gave him a wide grin while pointing to your eyes.
His eyes widened slightly and before he could ask how you got rid of the blood curse you said, "Guess what!? I killed myself." He raised an eyebrow at you and you explained what had happened over the last few days. At the end of your story Itachi got up, grabbed the sides of your face with his hands and gave you a rough kiss.
You stared at him in shock until he finally said, "Don't you ever try to do that again." You nodded and gave him a little kiss on the cheek. Then you and Itachi made a small camp and went to sleep. It had been a long day and you had a feeling tomorrow was going to be an even longer one.
