chpt 2
Itachi walked along, wondering where they were heading, the pain had all blended together in a pounding dull ache, which he struggled to ignore. Just when he began to ask where they were, the ninja came to a halt "here we are..." He opened the door, and gave Itachi a nudge in the back with his hand to get him to move.
He took a look at the people regarding him, and felt sick.
--------
The Hokage looked up, two other ninja beside him. One was Kakashi, who had found the dangerous ninja, and the other was a medical nin-worker, trained in combat and medicne. He frowned as he felt kakashi twitching beside him, it was obvious none of them trusted him, even the medic nin was giving off an angry presence.
But Itachi seemed unable to even speak, as the ninja sheparded him in he just stood there with hands behind his back, staring at the floor. He was limping the Hoakge noticed, and seemed very silent. The ninja folded his arms and stood behind the man. "Hoi....you" Kakashi siad, getting his attention. He at last looked up, his red eyes, colour of the sharingan, seeming a little off focus "uh..."
The Hokage regarded him "You were out in those woods, correct?" Itachi nodded, but all his attention was focused on the two behind the hokage. He could feel his heart pounding eerily in his head, his words seemed to stick in his throat, so in the end he only nodded. "Hmn....you dont remember anything of how you got there..who you are..?" Again just a shake of the head, he was staring at the floor now, his face was a little red, althought it was hard to tell behind the high collar of his robes.
The Hokage sighed again, this was proving hard, getting a single answer from him. Kakashi folded his arms, glaring full force at Itachi. "Nothing of your past? Relations..." The Hokage questioned again, again he shook his head, his head was spinning now. "Itachi? Itachi?!" a voice said, somewhere in the distance it seemed, he raised a hand to his chest, unable to breath, panic spreading like wildfire throughout his body.
He gave a strangled little cry and his eyes clsoed, legs buckled, dark hair fanning around his face as he collapsed. The Hokage Lept up from his chair, the two behind him starting slightly also. The ninja who'd brought him there stepped forward and deftly caught itachi in one arm, lowering the shaken ninja to the floor. "What happened?" the Hokage asked, hurrying over, followed by the medic nin.
The medic knelt by Itachi, giving him a brief check over "appears to be a panic attack sir, he wasnt able to breath and collapsed.." Kakashi uttered a "hmph!" and vanished in a puff of smoke and the Hokage sighed. "Return him to the hospital..." As the medic nin vanished, carrying Itachi over his shoulder, the Hokage sighed and shook his head "hes still very weak from whatevers happened, no doubt its shock too...being faced with a past he doesnt know...but the entire village does..." the other ninja nodded, what was going to happen to Itachi here?
------
He awoke back in the hospital, this time in a soft bed, with a quilt dragged up around his shoulders. He coughed weakly and sat up, trying to remember what had happened. All he could recall was the hokage asking him questions, seeing the glare of utter hatred from the maksed man behind the Hoakge, then there'd been a sharp pain in his chest, and it had all gone black.
He hugged his knees to his chets, shivering for some reason. -who am i? I must have done something...something bad....all i could see was hatred...who am i?- he rested his head on his knees, uttering a small cry, feeling tears soaking his colalr -why am i? crying? i dont know what i am..what ive done?-
The shock had begun to set in, he felt sick again, and shivering a little more, -what am ?- he began to wonder...It was then he felt a tug on his sleve, followed by "hey, mister!"
------
Konohamaru was bored, he'd snuck into the hospital for a dare, getting past all the nurses and doctors. But now he was lost, and hungry. He was just about to attempt to climb down a tree outside a window when he saw someone he thought he recognised. From outside the door, it looked like naruto's teammate sasuke, but upon further staring this person looked older, and wore bizzare high collared robes.
He sat hunched on the bed, body tucked up, arms wrapped around his knees, as he approached, konohamaru heard a muffled cry from behind the hair. -why is he sad?- he wondered, tugging on one of the billowy sleaves "hey!"
------
Itachi jerked his head up from where it'd been resting on his knees, strands of dark hair clung to his damp face, as he looked down at a small child with goggles on his forehead. "hey mister.." he repeated "you look familiar...." he blinked "uhm.." he felt the familiar tightening in his chest. "Whats your name?" the amaiable kid plopped up onto the bed beside him, he buried his face in the collar "Itachi.." he managed at last.
Konohamru nodded, having established the mans name "im Konohamaru!" he chirps, leaning forward and lifting a few bits of hair away to see the piercing gaze "ooh...your eyes are strange.." itachi blinked "y-yeah...i cant rememebr why.." Konohamru blinekd "you forgot something?"
Itachi nodded "I just woke up in this place..i dont know who i am, what ive done..." he shivers "but i think its bad...people hate me.." Konohamru tugged the sleave again "its prolly nto so bad, didja bump ya head?" he nodded "thats what the dctor said.." konohamaru smiled "then u just gotta wander around and try see things in case they help you un-forget!" Itachi blinked "you mean? go out there?" Konohamaru nodded "yeah, come wiv me mister, ill show ya around!"
Itachi reluctantly allowed himself to be pulled along the street by konohamaru, he was still in a bit of a daze and didn't hear the other kids running up to them as they approached an old warehouse which kono had said was his gangs hideout.
"HEY! KONOHAMARU!" they all skidded up, taking in the silent stranger whose sleave kono was clutching, "whoosis?" Itachi blinked from behidn his hair as he heard kono speak "this is Itachi, hes kinda lost his memories so im gonna show him konoha see if he can rememebr 'em!"
The others blinked and all offered to tag along too. So it was This odd Bunch, Itachi with seveal little kids walking down the street, konohamru stopping every few metres to point something out or wave to a person, that met the hoakges gaze as he walked down the street. -ah it seems the little leaves have caught this one up..maybe they'll help him..- he sighed, walking back towards his office -i have to inform sasuke about this....when he gets back..-
For he himself had sent sasuke off with a bunch of jounins for extra training, a feeling of foreboding had been building up, and now he saw it was Itachi's arrival that had been the cause of it.
