Recap: 'Damn stupid drunks'

'So there's a tournament for a special weapon, huh? Maybe I can spare a few more days in the desolate town…'

I chuckled under my cloak.

'It's been a long time since I've had a worthy challenge and this tournament might just be the place for such.'

"Hey you, stop!" called a familiar voice, one I haven't heard in years…

…………………………………………………………………………………………………………………

Chapter 4: She's not with me…yet

I knew who the voice belonged to and I knew that it would anger him more if I were to disobey him and keep on walking.

So I did.

"Hey you!" I screamed, "Stop."

'Itachi knows that person'

'Itachi knows that person.'

'This could be my way to Itachi.'

'I will not fail.'

'I will kill him, and anyone that gets in my way.'

'He must DIE'

Naruto ran out in front of me yelling and waving his hands.

"What are you doing Sasuke-teme?"

'What am I doing?'

'I don't care. I will not fail'

…………………………………………………………………………………………………………………

"Oh shit." I breathed.

'This can't be good Sasuke's eyes just went red. I can't stop him. Damn I wish Sakura was here, she stopped him once. Whatever is about to happen, something tells me someone's going to get hurt, badly. '

"Come on Sasuke Bastard let's go train or something…" I tried but nothing got through his damn thick, self-centered head!

"You in the cloak stop," he said in a voice that could trigger another ice age. I froze where I was, even though he wasn't talking to me I was too over come with fright to move.

The cloaked person finally stopped but did not turn around.

"How does Itachi know you." Sasuke asked a cold death dripping from his every word.

The person turned slowly, not saying a word.

Even though I couldn't see their eyes under their hood I knew they were looking directly at us. They just stood there and stared sending eerie shivers up and down my spine.

"Well!" screamed Sasuke trembling from anger and impatience. Neither seemed to faze the cloaked body standing about 10 feet before us.

Then slowly the figure raised one hand and pointed to a rooftop with out averting their stare from us.

Following the black gloved finger's direction there on a rooftop sat non other than Itachi, wearing his Akatzuki uniform and a smug smirk on his face.

"Why my deer brother it's been a long time now hasn't it?"

"Itachi"

"Unfortunately I cannot stay to play." Itachi said as he jumped from the roof landing perfectly on his feet before the cloaked person.

'Damn. Nothing good can come from this.'

"Fight me." Sasuke taunted. "That's why you're here."

"Not everything is about you little brother." Itachi smiled

'The smug Bastard Sasuke better kill him or I'm going to.'

"Actually," Itachi turned to the cloaked figure, "I came for other reasons."

"So they're with you. I'll kill you both then!" Sasuke spat.

"Oh no, no little brother she's not with me…yet."

"And as for you killing her, well you couldn't even come close."

Suddenly a botch ANBU appeared around Itachi.

"Well, it seems that I have warn out my welcome. Until we meet next, Nightshade." And with that he disappeared and the ANBU with him.

Sasuke still trembled with hatred.

"So you are some sort of tough shit huh? Someone I, a protegee could never defeat? We'll see about that!" he scream as he charged toward the person.

But before he even got within striking distance the person vanished leaving only their cloak on the ground. Sasuke look around.

Then above him appeared the figure spinning and flipping through the air as if they wings. They landed gracefully on the ground several yards ahead of Sasuke.

My jaw dropped this person, who had several minuets before knocked a huge guy along with all his mate across the ramen bar with one punch and just now had dodged Sasuke's attack with ease, was a girl. And not just any girl, this girl was hot!

She stood there tall with slim, long legs, and was very curvy. She still wore a hood so it was impossible to see her face and hair. She also wore a pair of long, knee-high, black leather boots with straps going this way and that to secure them to their owner. Above that she wore a short, pleated black skirt that stretched from her lower hips to her mid-thighs, just covering enough for public decency. Across the top of the skirt were two black, big buckled belts. Her shirt was too, black. It too was short, stopping at her mid-belly. This shirt was made of silk like material and rippled as she breathed. It also connected to her mysterious hood. Gracing her lovely arms were long slender black gloves. They continued from her fingers nearly to her shoulders. Again buckles were every which way holding them in place.

She was in obvious good shape for her muscles were well formed and had great tone. Scares danced across her body showing that fighting had long been apart of her life. What also could be seen were two tattoos. One on her left shoulder was a black nightshade flower. The other was on her left hip, but was mostly concealed by her low-rider black skirt. From what I could see it was the top of a tree with pinkish flowers but no leaves…

'Wow that's weird. I wonder what trees have pink flowers and no leaves? Damn that girl's hot. I wonder if that's why Itachi said 'she' not with me…yet'? Weirdo.'

Looked to Sasuke who seemed as though he was not shocked at all. He was still angry and this meant that he would probably take it out on somebody namely that girl. But something told me she could hold her own against him, and more!

Sasuke charged again and again the girl jumped and dodged the attack. They danced this dance of run and jump several times before the girl got bored of it. This time when Sasuke charged she didn't jump instead she kicked. Her fearsome kick connected with Sasuke's stomach and sent him flying into a building wall.

When he looked up I saw some blood trickle out of the side of his mouth and that his eyes had gone back to their natural shade of onyx.

'He lost?'

'But he like never loses. And with only one kick?'

I looked back up to the girl, but she was gone.

'Who was she? How did she get so powerful? And since when has Sasuke been such a woss? One thing's for sure, I am never letting him live this down!'
