Chapter 3: Itachi to the Rescue

Kira walked along the dirt path. Her eyes fixed on the figures coming towards here. Kakashi and Iruka held pieces of wood and paint in their hands. Kira stopped and stared at both teachers and laughed.

"Um… you guys. The house is already fixed up. All I need is some furniture," Kira chuckled.

"Wha…" Both of them said as their mouths dropped open.

Kira started walking again, but soon fell quiet at the thought of Itachi being a missing-nin. Her eyes gazed at the ground and a big sigh slipped out of her mouth. Eyes peered at her from the forest close by. A cold chill went down her spin as she looked around for the thing that was causing an uneasy feeling.

Kira walked into the woods only to find nothing. Her feeling was stronger now, but what was causing it wasn't there. Kira walked deeper into the woods. She heard twigs snapping and stopped.

Itachi walked through the same woods Kira was walking through. He saw smoke near the center and decided to check it out. He jumped and landed on a nearby tree branch. He jumped from tree branch to tree branch but found nothing.

The sound of twigs snapping stopped and Kira let out a whimper as she fell to the ground. Her eyesight was blur as she deciphered a figure of a man, but soon fell into darkness.

Itachi looked at the ground from a tree. He saw a mysterious man carrying Kira's unconscious form. He clenched his fist in anger and soon disappeared.

Kira woke up as her semi-conscious body was thrown into a cell room. She sat up after rubbing her head and looked around. There was a bed near a bared window. There was no hope of escape for her now.

A man walked up to her cell and unlocked it. He walked in and sat next to Kira. Kira was confused and her head hurt really badly.

"Where am I? Who are you?" She asked rubbing her head.

"I am Asako, and you are my prisoner Shimo!" Asako said moving closer to the now frightened Kira.

Kira went to reach for a shuriken, but they weren't there. Then she went for her Kunai, which weren't there too.

"Where are my weapons?" She asked.

"Oh, don't worry I have them!"

Asako grabbed Kira and quickly laid her on the bed. He laid on top of her screaming form and brushed his lips against hers. He licked her lips with his tongue and then forced her lips to part. Asako played with her tongue then began to move deeper. He then slid his tongue down her throat. Now and then he would play with her tongue. He would repeat himself over and over again.

Kira tried everything to get Asako off of her. After a while she became too scared to move. Asako took off her shirt and began to kiss her neck. Kira once again screamed.

Itachi ran, following the screams. He found out that the leader of the bandits was still alive. He jumped from the tree he was standing on and killed the men who were guarding the prison with a fire attack.

He walked inside and looked around. He heard Asako's moans and now moved faster. Itachi walked in front of the opened cell unnoticed. He stood in front of the doorway and pulled out one of his Kunai. He cocked his arm back with the kunai placed in between his index finger and his middle finger.

He thrusted his arm forward and let go of the Kunai which stabbed Asako in his back. Asako screamed in pain and rolled off of the topless Kira. Itachi took off his coat and placed it around Kira's body.

Asako stood up anger in his eyes as he took out some shuriken. He cocked his arm back but soon dropped them as he fell to the ground lifeless. Itachi held a sword in his hands. Blood slipped down the side of it.

"You love being kidnapped and raped, huh? I mean this is the second time I had to save you from another man's grasp." Itachi turned around no emotion left in his eyes as he picked Kira up and walked her to his house once again.

"I'm… I'm sorry." She said letting tears slip from her eyes, "I don't know what happened. I was so scared I couldn't move."

Itachi stared at her his eyes softened a little. Her eyes gazed at the ground below her. She wondered why he was keeping her alive. He was a missing-nin after all.

Itachi was wondering the same thing. Something inside him didn't want to kill her just like his brother. He stopped on his doorstep and faced Kira.

His head slowly came closer to hers for a kiss, but was stopped by a light touch of her finger.

"I can't do this. I can't fall in love with you. I'm going to have to kill you and you know it, yet you still want me. Why? Why can't you hate me? Why can't you just kill me? I mean you're a missing-nin and I'm a jounin. And I was almost raped."

"I can't help it. I can't hate you. There is something about you that keeps me bound to you. I may be a missing-nin, but I choose who I want to kill and I really don't want to kill you. You were almost raped because of me. If you hadn't met me this would have never happened, but if you didn't meet me I would have never fallen in love with such a beautiful woman." Itachi said grabbing her wrist firmly.

"I…Itachi…" Kira's eyes softened as she brush her lips against his, "You must hate me!"

With that Kira walked off, Itachi stood on his doorstep and watched her as she left. His hands turned into fists as he punched a hole in his wall. He walked inside and lay on his couch. He stared at the roof above him and went into deep thought

Kira looked at the trees. Her ears listened to the wildlife that prospered there. She soon found a tree with a branch long enough for her to lie down. She laid on the branch and stared into the night sky. She too went into deep thought.

'I… I love him, but I can't. I must hate him. I would have to kill him, and I too would end up dead if anyone found out. Oh, great star, why do I have to be put with this burden? Why did you choose me? Why?' Kira's eyes widened, 'That's it! I can change him! There must be a way to change him so that he would stop killing innocent people and kill the criminals only, but will the people here accept him, let alone me for being with this mass murderer… This is my decision and if they don't like it then they can kill me.'

Kira jumped from the tree branch and ran for Itachi's house. Kira sniffed the air. There was a fire not far from here. Itachi ran through her head as she bolted for her destination. Kira came to the clearing only to find a blazing fire.

"Itachi!" She yelled, unable to get an answer.

She heard noises in the brush. She pulled out a few kunai and threw them. A shriek of pain came from the brush as a man fell out. He grabbed the kunai and pulled it out of his body. The man was too weak to stand let alone move. Kira had pierced his legs and his stomach.

"Where's Itachi!" Kira asked as she grabbed the man by his collar.

"Why do you want to know?" The man smiled, Blood trickling down the side of his mouth.

"Tell me where he is, and I won't kill you!" Kira grabbed her sword and pointed it at the man's throat.

"Psh. Like that'll make me talk."

Kira put more pressure on the man's throat; the sword slightly pierced his skin, "Tell me!"

"He…he was taken to headquarters." He said.

"And where's that at!"

"The cave over there! Please don't kill me!" The man said pointing his finger towards a waterfall.

"That's a waterfall!"

"There's a hidden cave behind it!"

Kira let go of the man's collar and the man fell to the ground with a loud thump. Kira walked to the waterfall. Two men stood at the entrance.

"Hello boys! I'm kinda lost can you help me!" Kira walked up to them.

A smile crossed their faces as Kira came closer to them. She secretly took out two kunai, and when she was close enough she threw them and killed the men.

"I'm looking for Itachi! He wouldn't by chance be in this cave would he!"

One of the men nodded their head as they both fell dead. Kira took her kunai out and licked the blood off of it. She walked past the waterfall and into the cave.

No one else was there. Kira walked deeper into the cave following the light. When she got to a huge room in the cave she saw around 30 men standing around and cheering. In the center of the room was Itachi. His eyes were filled with anger.

Kira pulled out ten kunai and threw them. Each hit someone and that person fell down dead. She then took out her Shuriken one at a time and threw them. They too hit someone and that person fell down dead.

Kira then pulled out her sword when she was out of shuriken and kunai and went for everyone else with a full throttle charge. Everyone went for Kira slicing her body, but they ended up getting killed. Kira killed everyone in the cave.

She walked up to the shocked Itachi and untied him. "I've been thinking, and well, I went to see you and noticed your house was on fire and ended up killing someone to find out where your were." Kira smiled as she helped the injured Itachi to her place.

Surprisingly there was furniture in her house. Kira was shocked at the stuff in her house. On a coffee table there was a note she picked it up and read:

Hey Kira,

Just a little welcoming gift from us. Hope you like the furniture cause it was a killer to get. Well have fun and a good sleep in your new house. We figured there was someone you liked here since you've been happier than ver so we got you an extra special bed.

Your friends,

Iruka, Kakashi, and Karma

Kira smiled as she put the letter down and helped Itachi up the stairs. She opened the door to her room to find a queen-size bed. Kira laid Itachi on it and left to get some bandages. She dressed his wounds and then her own.

"So what did you think about!" Itachi asked as his wounds were being dressed.

"I thought about you of course and why I should stay with you!" She said smiling.

"Oh, really!" Itachi said, arching a brow.

Itachi stared at the somewhat cheerful Kira. He often wondered why she wasn't scared of him. Everyone else was, but she was different. He stared deep into her bluish-gray eyes.

Kira stared into the red eyes of Itachi and smiled. Red and black are her favorite colors and he was wearing them.

"You want to know why I'm not scared of you don't you?" Kira said her smile gone.

"Huh? Oh, yeah I do," Itachi frowned.

"Maybe it's because I too am a killer. I killed the man that killed my mother and I killed the all those people. It seems we are one and the same," Kira somewhat smiled.

'I forgot how long it's been since I killed. I forgot about how much enjoyed killing the man that killed mother. Now I killed again, this time I couldn't control myself. I killed those men over joy rather than to save Itachi. I couldn't stop myself, something wanted me to kill them, all of them, but…' Kira thought to herself.

"You enjoyed it, huh?"

"What?"

"You enjoyed killing them? Your eyes looked like they enjoyed seeing them all die." Kira's eyes widened in shock.

"Insanely enough I did. I forgot how long it's been since I killed. It helped me with my anger though. I was angry at them. They burnt your house and captured you. I got so angry I released it on them." Kira's eyes softened as she brushed her lips against Itachi's, "We are almost one and the same."

"Yeah, I guess you're right," Itachi frowned.

"I just don't want to go back to that. Killing only reminds me of my past and my past brings me great pain."

Itachi roughly kissed Kira, "Let me help you take that pain away."
