Michiru opened her eyes and felt herself tied up and tried to move around. She was on a bed in a cabin somewhere in the woods. The ropes were tight against her legs and wrists and she noticed that the ropes were blue. Charka ropes, she thought remembering what she learned about them from her sources. She looked up to see Itachi staring at her intensely and she gave him an evil glare of hate which he ignored as he continued to stare at her.

"Let me go you stupid Baka!" she yelled at him.

"Why should I let a little wench like you go? I don't even know why you're still living!" Itachi yelled back.

Michiru struggled to get out of the charka ropes again and pulled on them. She felt the ropes digging tighter into her and soon she felt blood running down her sides. Itachi grabbed her and release the charka rope on her before she sliced herself in half. She forgotten about how the charka ropes could do that and fell into his arms. Itachi held her, but had a look of amazement on his face. This feeling that sparked inside him was unknown and he was afraid of it. He dropped her on the ground and turned to Kisame.

"Take care of the wounds now!" he ordered.

"Why don't you let her die already? She seems willing to," Kisame said which got a blow to the head from Itachi.

"You will do as I say or I'll end your pathetic life right now Kisame!" he threaten.

Kisame grunted but went over to Michiru and began to work on her. He looked at her beasts and went to rub them with his hands. Might as well get something out of it, he thought. He felt another blow on the head and went back to work before Itachi made his threat come true.

Itachi walked off into the woods away from the cabin to get away from the feeling he felt inside the cabin. It was the same as before when he was about to kill her for the second time. He punched a tree to see it shatter into pieces of wood and fall on the ground. He never felt the feeling before, not even when he looked at Sasuke and felt something for him as well. Hn… Like he cares about that little weakling. He stopped walking when he came upon a cliff and looked up at the stars high in the sky. There was no moon tonight so the stars gave off their light more brightly in order to help the land see. The cliff was facing an ocean so they were far away form the village of Konoha. It was peaceful there and he liked it, though most wouldn't think he would care about the beauty of the world. Itachi was a killer, but he can still like nature too. The wind blew from afar and he heard something coming upon the wind.

All along the high roads,

Heading towards the sea,

There I'll be waiting,

In the town of Terra!

Look this way and that way,

Listen to the music,

There I'll be waiting,

In the town of Terra!

The King will bow to me,

His white wings simmering,

There I'll be waiting,

In the town of Terra!

I'm his bride-to-be,

Though I'm far away,

There I'll be waiting,

In the town of Terra!

There I'll be waiting,

In the town of Terra!

Itachi heard a rustle in the bushes behind him and drew his sword out of its sheath. He stopped in mid swing as Michiru appeared out of the bushes.

"I see you never change… Don't worry I won't run. I'll never get back to Konoha from here," Michiru said with a stern look on her face. She walked right pass him and stopped on the edge of the cliff. "Strange… You and your brother are very much alike."

"We are nothing alike," Itachi said as he sheathed his sword. "Was that you singing?"

"Yes. It's an old song from my town because it was destroyed," Michiru said never letting her glaze move away from the stars.

"I don't get you. One moment you're cursing me out and the next you're talking like we are old friends," Itachi said. "What are you anyway? You don't even use charka to fight."

"I am someone who is fated to be alone for all her life. One who lets her fate twist around others and then let them break apart till there is nothing left of her. To die alone, to be alone, to live alone. That is who I am. I am a Silverfayt till death brings it to an end. The power I use is called Mana, like Charka we can die once it is gone, but the difference between the two is that once Mana is used, it stays used," Michiru said.

"So that is why I found you crying. You love my brother, but you know you cannot stay with him," Itachi said in understanding.

"The destiny of a Silver Rose is never kind. Even the slightest touch can ruin its beauty," Michiru said.

Itachi felt the feeling inside of him again and without knowing he put his hands around her. She didn't move from her place and Itachi turned her around and looked into her eyes. He held her close and placed his lips upon his and kissed her. He realized then what the feeling was inside his heart. A feeling that has never been there before. The feeling of love. And if Sasuke ever tried to take Michiru away from him, from this feeling, he would kill him.

Note: Wow! The feud between Itachi and Sasuke grows as now they both are in love with the same person. Michiru is confuse about what her heart wants, but she tries to denies it as well. And what happen to Snowfire Fox? Is that Naruto she is running off with? Next time on One Silver Rose, Chapter 13: Confusion of the Heart! R&R for I'm not posting it till I get two reviews.
