Chapter 13: Brief S-rank fighting
As Phire reached the hotel, she saw Itachi.
'Hey,' she muttered, going into the room. Itachi went in after her, and looked at her; she wasn't sweating even one bit.
'I thought you were going to go on missions,' Itachi told her. She shook her head.
'Not right now; I have to help Team 7 train,' Phire told him. Itachi raised an eyebrow, his brother's team, huh?
'Your helping my brother?' Itachi asked. She changed her t-shirt into a tank top, and looked at him weird when she turned around to see that he was still there.
'You're still here, Itachi? I'm changing, you know,' Phire told him. He blinked and then turned around.
'I won't look,' he said, waiting. She changed into shorts, and then lay down on the bed.
'You can look now,' Phire said. He turned around, and he sat on the bed. He took off his Akatsuki attire and changed into shorts for the night, shirtless. Phire didn't look, but Itachi didn't care whether she did or not.
'Exactly what did you teach?' Itachi asked. Phire told and explained it to him.
'Oh, like this?' Itachi asked, climbing out of the window, around 100 feet with ease into the air. She nodded, and when he climbed down, he tripped when he went inside and since Phire was standing near the window, fell down on her. They both raised their eyebrows at the same time, and he got off after a few minutes.
'Um, that never happened,' Phire said, blushing a little. As they went into bed, she looked to the window and had her back towards Itachi. His back faced hers as well.
'Phire,' he muttered, 'do you know any demons or biju?' Phire sighed, and then turned around, and turned Itachi around.
'Can you keep a secret?' she asked him. He didn't react, but was wondering what was wrong. She took her headband out, and transformed into a demon; why, she had claws, thick, dense fangs, demon-like eyes, and she was a little taller, and much stronger. Itachi raised both of his eyebrows.
'I'm no ninja; I'm actually…' Phire sighed, and turned around. 'I think you wouldn't want me as a friend anymore.' Itachi thought the opposite, though; he wanted her even more now, so he could get the new sharingan with ease now. He turned her around, and just looked at her without saying anything.
'No, it's okay, I still want you,' he told her. Phire sighed, and sat up.
'I don't know how to tie my hair; it's been a long time since I have tied up my hair,' she told him. He sat up on his knees went behind her, and took the forehead protector from her and tied her hair for her. She waited patiently, as he himself had trouble tying her whole hair; Itachi didn't even know how to, so it was nearly as hard as for Phire, but finally, somehow, did.
'Phire,' he told her, as he kept his hands on her shoulders, 'you have to join Akatsuki.' Phire closed her eyes, and then shook her head.
'No,' she told him, now facing him after turning around. He narrowed his eyes at her.
'I'm not taking "no" as an answer,' he told her. 'Besides, we need more members; we've already lost 2.'
'I don't give a shit about that stupid organization,' she growled, getting off of bed and going near the window. 'I don't know the leader personally, but even then, I'm definitely not joining.' Itachi was losing patience, and he forcefully grabbed her in a hug and threw her onto the bed, only for her to quickly jump up and pin Itachi to the wall with kunais. She then moved away quickly and threw a kunai at the real Itachi; the one pinned was the exploding clone.
'Phire, you better cooperate with me,' Itachi growled, using Mangekyou sharingan. She closed her eyes in time, but then opened them, using her kekkei genkai that she created, which was called "Chimanako", which means "bloodshot eyes". Her irises were the shape of blazing fires, and her pupils were faded. Itachi felt as though he were drowning in his own blood, so he got away quickly and then kicked her right in the stomach, only to get hurt by the exploding clone; she was right behind him, and choked him from behind.
'You don't need the likes of me in that organization, Uchiha Itachi,' she growled, throwing him onto the ground. The clone exploded, and the real one came out, facing the real Phire.
'Well too bad. I'm not taking "no" as an answer,' he repeated, grabbing her wrist with even more strength and throwing her onto the ground. She landed on her hand, and sprung up, punching Itachi right in the stomach, and then landed on the bed. They continued fighting, until they heard a knock on the door. Itachi quickly put his Akatsuki uniform on, as well as his regular clothes, and Phire did as well.
'You ordered pizza, Mr.Uchiha?' the room service person asked, knocking on the door. Itachi had a kunai to Phire's throat and vice versa at the same time, and they both stopped. Itachi used his sharingan when he opened the door to hypnotize the guy into leaving. Itachi threw the pizza on the table (there was a small table) and then they continued fighting again. After another hour of fighting, there was knocking on the door again.
'Mr.Uchiha, did you order Pepsi?' another room service person asked, knocking on the door. Itachi sighed, and then did pretty much the same thing.
'Did you order anything else, Itachi?' Phire growled. Itachi shook his head, and the fighting continued. Finally, around 1 a.m., a kunai broke through the window, and the two stopped fighting.
'What the hell?' Phire growled. She then, along with Itachi, deactivated the kunai bomb, and they looked to see where it came from.
'If it came from 45 degrees west,' Phire muttered, 'then we should go 55 degrees east.' Itachi raised an eyebrow; how did she calculate such a thing within a few seconds?
'Fine, but you're still'- Phire glared at him and interrupted him, by saying:
'I'm not joining Akatsuki, case closed, now let's go already,' Phire growled, already outside. Itachi was really losing patience, and followed her.
'She's much tougher than I thought; she could most probably kill Tsunade,' he thought, catching up to her incredible speed. Sasuke was in bed, as he couldn't sleep, and when he got up, he saw two figures "flying" across the horizon.
'What the,' Sasuke thought as he got out of bed, put his forehead protector on, and secretly went outside. He followed them, only until a bunch of shinobi appeared and when Sasuke fought them, he lost track of the two figures.
'Chikushou,' he thought as he just looked to the sky. He felt a drop of cold rain, but Sasuke didn't catch a cold after a huge thunderstorm appeared.
As Phire and Itachi were close to Hidden Sound, Phire stopped, and Itachi looked at her.
'Nani?' he asked, grabbing her wrist. She got out of his grasp and hid, grabbing Itachi with her.
'Orochimaru,' she whispered. He raised an eyebrow; he wasn't that strong even though he was one of the legendary sannin.
'So?' he asked her. Phire shook her head, and they got out of hiding.
'It was him,' Phire told him. Itachi thought for a moment, and remembered that there was a sharingan like mark on the kunai, indicating a strange type of curse seal, and he remembered that it was similar to Orochimaru's.
'He either is still after me, which is a pity, or he knows about your whereabouts,' Itachi told Phire. She agreed with the second thing that Itachi said.
'He probably wants my power; how pathetic, even for a sannin,' Phire muttered. They reached the "gates" to Hidden Sound, only to be greeted by sound ninja. Phire quickly burned them alive, along with Itachi using katon, goukakyuu no jutsu. She used one of her sword's abilities, or else Kasai no dakegi (fire strike), and Itachi used Katon, Ryuka no jutsu this time.
'You two fell right for the trap,' a voice appeared, "slithering" into the air. Phire and Itachi did know it was a trap, and they were going to counter it.
'Orochimaru,' Phire said, not looking at him. He was about 35 feet away, and she looked exactly in the opposite direction on purpose.
'Oh, so you do know me,' Orochimaru chuckled, 'I must be famous in the demon world.' Phire looked at him from a slight angle glance.
'How did you know?' Phire asked. 'Oh let me guess; Kabuto was spying on me when I was in Konoha teaching Team 7, am I right? It was Kabuto, wasn't it?' Orochimaru laughed a little in an evil like way.
'I'm not surprised that you knew he was there; just what I would expect from a great demon warrior like you, Ranpu Phire,' Orochimaru "complimented". Phire rolled her eyes, and Itachi glared at Orochimaru.
'Oh, it's you,' Orochimaru had an angry face, and grunted when he saw Itachi. Itachi had secretly put kunais in his hand.
'Orochimaru, I haven't seen you ever since you left Akatsuki,' Itachi said. Phire then made Orochimaru taste dirt in his face by pushing him from behind, and then Itachi and Phire ran.
'The demon is clever, even as a ninja,' Orochimaru thought, angrier than before.
'I told you I would do it very arbitrarily yet perfectly,' Phire told Itachi. Itachi just continued running, not caring.
'Whatever, let's just get back; and besides, I'm not through with you either,' Itachi told her. She suddenly stopped, and Itachi quickly threw his kunais at her, making the clone explode. Phire killed the Itachi clone, and then the two started fighting again.
'You know, I'm hungry,' Phire said after 30 minutes of fighting. Itachi raised an eyebrow, and then put his shurikan away.
'We have the pizza, c'mon then,' Itachi muttered, running. Phire followed, and when they reached the place, it was quiet; too quiet.
'I expected a raid, but,' Phire muttered, opening the box of pizza. Only 3 slices were left! Phire sweat dropped.
'The thieves were thieves of food, how not expected,' Phire added in. Itachi noticed that the Pepsi was still full, or as it seemed.
'The Pepsi is going to explode, c'mon,' Itachi grabbed Phire's wrist, as they moved away from the exploding Pepsi. The drink landed everywhere, even on the two bewildered ninjas.
'I bet I know who would do this,' Phire muttered, throwing a kunai right at the hiding Chouji; he hid in the bathroom!
'Ah! Phire-sensei!' he yelled, scared. Ino and Shikamaru came out as well, and so did Naruto.
'Phire, I was wondering when you were going to do that,' Itachi muttered, glaring at the 3 genin and 1 Chuunin.
'You're Sasuke's brother!' Naruto yelled, getting a rasengan attack charged. Chouji was about to do something, but he tripped, and then Shikamaru just sighed, and Ino missed Itachi when she tried to do the Shintenshin no jutsu (Art of the Valentine), and Naruto was about to attack Itachi, but Itachi used Mangekyou sharingan, knocking out Naruto badly.
'How troublesome,' Shikamaru muttered. Phire glared at him, and then when she used Chimanako, they all were officially knocked out for a whole night.
'They won't remember a thing,' Phire told Itachi, teleporting them back to their homes. Itachi sighed, and sat on the bed, thinking.
'I don't care about that,' Itachi told her. She sat next to him.
'If they remembered what happened this morning, they'd obviously report it to Tsunade-sama,' Phire told him, 'and I already have her trust.' Itachi nodded.
'Good point; then my brother would probably try to kill me, just ending up in his defeat again, which I could care less about,' Itachi added in. She nodded.
'I'm guessing we should sleep, then,' Phire told him, but he pushed her against the wall, and put his hands against the wall, so she couldn't escape.
'What?' she growled. He glared at her.
'Your joining Akatsuki no matter what,' he muttered, struggling to keep her in place. When he did let go, she threw him onto his stomach to the ground and jumped over him, a kunai at his throat, but then threw it at the real Itachi, and quickly got off of the exploding clone.
'I'm not going to'- Phire stopped immediately when she couldn't talk any longer, just sighed, and put her arms around Itachi and continued.
' I didn't realize that he would go this far just for me to join,' she thought as she moved down to the bed and laid down on it, still holding him. Around 30 minutes later, Itachi stopped, and noticed that Phire fell asleep.
'I told you that you were going to join no matter what… I just enforced it,' Itachi thought, lying next to Phire, putting his arm around her waist, pulling her somewhat closer to him like a teddy bear, and sleeping.
