Sasuke approached her figure, she was sitting with her back against the same tree, but what surprised him was that her blindfold was lying in her lap. Her beautiful hazel eyes stared at the stars above them. "We should head back." He said as he leaned his shoulder against the same tree.
"Have you decided what you will do with this new information?" She asked, never looking at him. She wanted to have a normal conversation with him and with her blindfold off, she would have his answer before he even spoke it.
"I need to speak with Itachi, is that something that you could arrange?" He asked and she had to think about it. She had informants all over the country, but she wasn't sure if she would be able to get him a meeting with his brother; who was in a secret organization that most people chose to ignore.
"I can attempt it, but I cannot make any promises." That answer seemed to please Sasuke, for he nodded his head.
"We need to head back, any longer and Orochimaru might become suspicious with both of us gone." He said and she groaned. She truly hated being in those hideouts. The hideouts and the blindfold, she felt like she was suffocating most of the time.
The road back to the hideout was quiet, she focused on their next move while she was sure that Sasuke was thinking about all of the information that they had gathered still. When they arrived back, the first place they headed to was the main room within the compound; Orochimaru would most likely be in there waiting for them. As they entered the room, her assumption was proven correct with Orochimaru standing in the middle of the room; Kabuto standing to his right.
"You went to Konoha." It wasn't a question, he had ways of finding out information. "Why was it necessary to go there?" He asked as he glanced between her and Sasuke.
"It was just a fact-finding mission, nothing to concern yourself with." Sasuke said and made his way out of the room. Mya was about to follow him when Orochimaru grabbed her wrist and pulled her back.
"Was that truly all it was, Mya?" He whispered in her ear. She wanted to pull away from him, follow Sasuke out of the room but her body refused to move. She watched as Sasuke left the room and she was left alone with Orochimaru and Kabuto.
"Exactly what he told you, Lord Orochimaru. We went to gather information. That is all." She said quietly, hearing Kabuto walking up towards the two of them.
"Did you find any useful information?" He asked, tightening his grip on her elbow.
"Nothing that would benefit you, Lord Orochimaru." She winced as his grip tightened on her elbow. If he continued to squeeze, he would end up breaking her elbow. Sasuke might be strong enough to beat Orochimaru, but she was not on his level; especially not with her eyes covered.
"You can leave." He released her elbow and she was finally allowed to walk out of the room. Sasuke stood next to the door with his back against the wall. Grabbing her upper arm, he forced her to follow him into his room.
"What the hell happened?" He asked and released her elbow.
"Orochimaru testing out my loyalty. He probably already knows that I'm helping you, but I don't think he wants to push anything that would anger you." She said as she rubbed her elbow. Now she would likely have a bruise on her forearm and on her elbow.
"We will need to deal with him soon. He is getting weaker, so it shouldn't be hard to deal with him. First, we need to find a way to reach Itachi and meet him. I also need to get the rest of the team together. You will get information on Itachi and I will get the other three." He said and she was about to leave to get some sleep when he grabbed her elbow, the one that wasn't hurting. "Do not die, I will not come for you."
She smiled and leaned forward, kissing his cheek. "I wouldn't dream about it." She said with a smile on her face, he never said he cared about her but the remarks like that showed he did, well in his own unique way.
For weeks, Mya has been looking for information. She had met up with informants and made as much noise as she could. She figured she would have either found Itachi or he would have found her. Sasuke had already begun his new journey.
She had heard the rumor about Orochimaru being dead, which she knew wasn't as much a rumor but the truth. Now Sasuke had most likely already gotten his new team together. She really needed to find Itachi before Sasuke went and did something reckless.
She grumbled to herself as she made her way back to her hotel room, another lead had gone down the drain. Stepping into her room, she placed her blindfold onto the table and made her way to her bed. She was exhausted, she had spent the last 20 hours looking for information.
She had laid down, ready to let her body relax and start fresh after eight hours of sleep, when a murderous intent forced her body to go rigid. Jerking up, she walked back towards her table and grabbed a weapon. "Why have you been looking for me?" Someone said from the shadows of her room.
Smiling, she placed the weapon back onto the table and laid her hands on her hips. "Itachi Uchiha, it is about time I found you. We need to talk."
"I do not believe I need to speak with my little brother's pet." She growled at his statement. "Why are you attempting to speak with me?" He asked again.
"I've found information about what happened with the massacre. Sasuke knows about it. He wants to speak with you about it." She said, but before she could continue, Itachi had her pinned to the wall. His hand around her throat and a kunai pressed into her rib cage.
"If I plunge this kunai here, it would go directly into your heart. If I squeezed a little harder, you would die from asphyxiation. The wrong answer from you and I end your life here." He stood so close to her that she could feel his breath on her face as he spoke. "What have you told him?"
"I told him about Danzō and how he gave you a choice." At those words he tightened his grip on her throat.
"I didn't like that answer." He said as she reached up and wrapped her hand around his wrist.
"Why must he kill you!?" She was practically screaming at this point. "He may not come back from that. If he finds out he killed you and then is able to verify the information, I provided, I don't think he will ever be the same!" She yelled and felt as his grip loosened around her neck.
"You care for him?" He asked and she nodded. "As long as you are by his side, then he should be able to come back. This is my punishment; it is fitting of my crime." He was speaking in a whisper; she barely heard the last part.
"Please, don't do this to him. Don't make him do this." She cried. She wasn't sure if she could bring him back, not after he feels like he has lost every single person in the world. Not after he has lost his reason for living.
"When you wake up, be sure to run to his side." His eyes began to spin, and darkness began to overtake her vision. "We will be at the Uchiha hideout. Find him first." That was the last thing she heard before she lost consciousnesses.
Mya awoke with the worst headache she had ever felt in her life. The pounding at her door had awoken her. "You either need to vacate the room or pay for another day." Gripping her head, she opened the door to find the woman who owned the hotel. She still had two more days in this room and that was when it hit her. Itachi had used his eyes on her, she has been unconscious on the floor of her hotel room for two days.
Grabbing her things from the table, she quickly out the blindfold on and made her way to the Uchiha hideout; hoping she wasn't too late. When she arrived, she found Karin, Suigetsu, and Jugo standing far from where the Uchiha hideout was. "What is going on?!" She yelled as she landed in front of the three attempting to catch her breath. She has run non-stop for the last three hours, hoping to make it in time.
"Mya?" Karin asked surprised to see the young girl. "What are you doing here, Sasuke said you were assigned another job." She said, but the sound of a large lightening attack is what caught Mya's attention.
"Is he fighting Itachi right now?" Jugo nodded at her question and she attempted to make her way over to the fight before it was too late; but was stopped when Suigetsu slashed his sword at her; forcing her to dodge.
"Sasuke said that no one was to interfere." Suigetsu stated as he got into his fighting stance. She attempted to run past him again, but he swung his sword down at her and forced her to jump back.
"If Sasuke does this, he may not come back from it. Please, Suigetsu let me help him. Save him from the darkness that is within him." She begged, but Suigetsu did not budge. Standing up straight, she focused on his eyes. "I'm sorry to do this." Suigetsu gripped his head, falling to his knees as she quickly ran past him and to the fighting.
When she reached the battlefield, she fell to the knees next to Itachi first. Laying two fingers on his neck, she frowned when she couldn't find a pulse. Sasuke laid next to his brother and she crawled over to him to check his pulse, smiling when she found one. Laying his head in her lap, she ran her fingers through his hair.
"You must be Mya; I've heard such good things." Above the group, looking down at them, stood a man with a mask covering his face. "I believe it would be safe to assume that if I took Sasuke, you would be coming with us." She nodded at his statement. "Very well."
