The Avenger's Attempt
"But I don't wanna stay here", I whine.
"Too bad", Itachi says.
I gaze, annoyed, at the hotel room they're imprisoning me in.
"It's beige and pink, it's ugly", I complain.
"Good", Kisame says.
"How is ugly good? 'Cause look at you; you don't even have a girlfriend".
"Kisame we need to go", Itachi says.
"Whatever", I mutter.
I lie down on the uncomfortable bed and close my eyes. I imagine Deidei is with me. We'd be holding hands and talking. Itachi would be dead and Kisame would be roasting over a hot fire. Yummy! In fact, Itachi would be buried right underneath where Deidara and I would be sitting. Ah, dreams, is there anything better?
But the dream shifts and I'm walking down a hallway that's filling up with water. I'm wearing next-to-nothing and shivering. The water rises higher and higher and I can't breathe. Where's Deidara? Anyone? My lungs gasp for air. I spy a door that seems to be protected from the rising water. I swim to it and walk inside. Snakes slither up and down the walls, they go across the floor. Up and down my body they crawl. I start to scream, but I don't have a voice. Then I feel hands circle my waist, but they aren't Deidara's. I stare up into his reptilian eyes and feel as though I'm seven again. Then he leans closer to me and whispers in my ear.
"You are mine".
I jolt upright, the pillow silencing my screams of terror. Itachi and Kisame are back. Kisame is sleeping on the other bed and Itachi's watching me. His crimson pools make me shiver.
"What were you dreaming about?" he asks.
"N-nothing", I gasp.
"You were screaming".
"I was dreaming of you".
"Liar", he hisses.
"Did I happen to mention I hate you?"
"I heard you", he says suddenly.
"Heard what?"
"You… and Hidan".
I freeze pursing my lips in distaste at the memory of last night.
"Nothing happened".
"Then why did you run crying from his room?"
"Because he was being an asshole".
"I doubt that was the reason. Tell me", he demands.
"Like I'd tell you".
"I never said anything about you telling me willingly".
I back up against the headboard of the bed and wrap my arms around my knees.
"Go to Hell, Itachi", I say.
He stands up and moves gracefully toward me. I glare at him, praying for the ground to open up and swallow him. But he comes nearer and nearer and my fear grows.
"What are you doing?" I ask.
"This", he says, "Mangekyo Sharingan".
The room transforms into a black and white world.
"Relive last night for only me to see", Itachi says from somewhere above.
"So! You are mine! You belong to me!" Hidan yells.
I feel the pain of the cuts, the kiss, and the blood. So much blood; so much red. I cry out, scream for him to stop, but to no avail. When we reach the part where I run out of the room, the black and white world dissipates.
Itachi's standing in the corner, his usual glare on his face. I return the glare through blurry eyes.
"So that's what happened", he says.
"Yeah, that's what happened ", I say.
"That wasn't even a full Mangekyo Sharingan I used on you", he says.
"Whatever", I mutter, turning over and going back to sleep.
When I wake up, Itachi and Kisame are gone and there's a note on the table.
Don't Leave
"Like I could", I mutter.
I sit down on the bed and sigh. Now what am I going to do? I pull out a kunai and start flipping it in one hand. This kunai is like a metaphor for my life; sharp, dangerous, precise, and yet it had it's blunt side too. I give a small yelp as I accidentally cut my palm open. I am leaning forward to suck the blood up when I remember something Hidan had said,
"We're blood-bonded now. Jashin smiles upon us".
What WAS a blood-bond? I stared at the cut and about cut myself again in shock. It was already healing.
"What the Fuck!?" I screamed.
"Now what's wrong?" Itachi sighed.
I was momentarily shocked by their reappearance, but then remembered the real reason I was shocked.
"What's a blood-bond?" I asked Itachi.
"A what?"
"Blood-bond. What is it?"
He frowned for a second before answering, "A blood-bond is a sign of marriage, union, or sometimes ownership in some religions; mostly the violent ones. It grants each recipient the others' abilities to some extent. Why?"
"THE BASTARD BLOOD-BONDED ME!" I yell.
"Who?" Kisame asked, confused.
Itachi's frown deepens, but then his eyes flash.
"We need to move now", he commands.
"Why?" I ask.
"ANBU Black Ops, close by", Itachi says.
"What did you DO?!"
"We'll talk on the way", he says, "Hurry now!"
I quickly grab my bag and follow them out the window (classic Akatsuki style). We run at shinobi speed out of Konoha.
"We're here for two days and we're already in trouble?!" I say.
"We met some acquaintances of Itachi's", Kisame says.
"Oh, that explains it".
We continue running awhile until we reach a small gambling town.
"Don't tell me you're gambling? I'm underage you know", I say.
"Our objective is here", Itachi says.
"And anyway, there's a height limit too, Shortie", Kisame smirks.
I punch Kisame on the back of the head and a huge lump forms.
"The Kyubi dude? Whoop-de-do".
"We'll stay here for the night", Itachi says.
We chose some random hotel that's supposedly "near our target". We pay and receive our room.
"Now what?" I ask.
"You're staying with us this time. We need to lure his protector away from him".
"Protector?"
"Lord Jiraiya; one of the Three Great Sannin".
I shudder at the mention on the Great Three, but listen to the plan anyway.
Later On After Hearing Stupid Itachi's Perverted Plan:
"No way. I won't do it".
"Yes, you will", Itachi says.
"I am NOT flirting with some old pervert, Itachi", I argue.
"Would rather I use some innocent female walking down the street?"
"Yes".
"You've changed. You would've done anything to save an innocent in the past".
"That was then. This is now. And I joined the bad guys, remember?"
He says nothing, but continues glaring at me.
"Stop it, will ya?"
"Continuing the plan", Kisame says, "We get the kid and take him back to the base. Kill anyone who gets in our way".
"That's the plan", Itachi agrees.
"Hurray", I say with fake enthusiasm.
The Next Day:
Itachi does this fancy genjutsu on some poor girl walking down the street. I almost feel sorry for her. Glad, it's not me. When we set her loose on the white-haired old man, his eyes boggle out of his head. This old man is a SUPER PERV! Ew. The Kyubi kid goes back into his hotel room and mold chakra for a while.
I'm getting super impatient.
"Now?" I ask for the bazillionth time.
"No", Itachi replies.
Ten minutes later:
"Now?"
"No".
Twenty minutes later:
"Now?"
"Yes".
"".
"I said yes".
"Oh yeah, I heard you". sweat drop
We move on in the hotel room. Itachi knocks on the door. We hear some complaints from the inside of the room, but the Kyubi kid comes out. His eyes go wide in shock.
"Maybe we should cut his legs off so he doesn't run", Kisame suggests.
"Good idea, Fish Stick!" thumbs up
The Kyubi kid is almost shaking from fear, I can feel it. But before Kisame can even swing Samehade, Itachi stops.
"Itachi Uchiha", we hear from the end of the hall.
I turn around and it's like there's a mini Itachi standing there. He has long blue-black hair and the Sharingan eyes.
"Two Sharingan in one day? Who is he?" Kisame asks.
"Wait! I missed a Sharingan! Assholes!"
I clobber Fish Stick on the head and take a closer look at Itachi's mini-me.
"Yeah, Weasel, who is he?"
"My little brother, Sasuke", he answers.
"Oh My Gawd! Itachi he's even more emo then you! I bet he even writes… poetry!"
I hide under Itachi's cloak until he pushes me out.
"Meanie", I say.
The Sasuke kid gives some sort of a speech, but I don't notice because I'm looking at his hands. These weird lightning-like tendrils of energy surround his hands. He starts running toward us at an amazing speed. I start to move forward to block him, but Itachi puts his arm in front of me. He grabs Sasuke's hand and redirects the jutsu.
"Chidori One Thousand Birds?"
Itachi snaps his wrist and Sasuke cries out in pain. Itachi then proceeds to beat him up. Sasuke falls to the ground. The Kyubi kid starts gathering weird demonic chakra. Kisame swings Samehade, which sucks up the chakra.
"Maybe we should cut off his arms instead", Kisame suggests.
He moves to cut the Kyubi kid's arms "into ribbons", but a toad appears out of nowhere and blocks the sword. The pervy old man appears, holding the woman over his shoulder, and I don't envy her one bit.
"A man like me isn't wired to just blindly follow a woman like a dog! When you get to my level the woman are the ones who writhe at my charm!"
OMG! OO What the Fuck.
"What a horn-dog", I say.
The somewhat deflates the perv's ego, but not much.
"No, he's mine", Sasuke says.
"I'm not interested in you", Itachi says.
Ew, harsh. The kid runs up to Itachi, but gets kicked back. The kid is spurting blood all over the place. RASPBERRY JAM! IT'S STAINING THE WALLS! Itachi walks up to him slowly and pushes him up against a wall.
"You lack hatred", he whispers.
He uses the Mangekyo Sharingan on the kid and I flinch. I definitely feel sorry for this Sasuke kid at the moment.
"Wait a minute!" the horn-dog (Jiraiya: I have a name you know! Rayne: what you ARE a horn-dog) says.
Then all of a sudden we're surrounded by this weird pink stuff.
"You've just been swallowed by the rock-dwelling toad of Mount Myoboku!"
EW! TOAD STOMACH!
Itachi and Kisame start running and I follow suit.
"We're not going to make it!" I shout.
Then Itachi does this weird thing with his eyes and the wall erupts in flames. We jump out the window (Akatsuki style) and go back to the hotel.
"We're leaving?" I whine.
"Yes", Itachi answers.
We leave the hotel and run into the forest. I'm not happy about camping out in the forest, oh well.
After I'm sure Itachi and Kisame are asleep, I slip away into the forest. There is ABSOFRICKENLUTELY no way I am sleeping anywhere near Itachi. I run about a mile or two away from camp and lay down. It's not a bed, but it's not nails. I fall asleep reasonably quickly.
I wake up all of a sudden when I hear a rustle in the leaves. Who- what is there? The rustle grows louder and my heart beats faster. The sound stops and my heart pounds. A snake slips out of a bush and snaps up a mouse. I let out a sigh of relief. Just a snake.
"Mizuka, you look beautiful", a voice says.
"No", I gasp.
"Yes, Mizuka, I've come to claim you", Orochimaru says.
Rayne Says (otherwise known as A/N): OMG!! A cliffie! I am sooooo evil! Don't worry, just go to the next chapter
