Itachi's eyes wandered around the huge mansion he was in, how did Blake manage to be so unanimous to her friends if she had family as politically powerful as this? Not to mention the craftsmanship of this very table was breathtaking.

The Uchiha continued to marvel at all those little things as his held the teacup in his hands. He barely noticed the other people talking as he enjoyed the nice warm drink. The entire world around him was almost perfect again if only there wasn't the continuous chatter from Sun. He just finished embarrassing himself and quickly tried to shift the attention away from him. "So what about you Itachi?"

"What about me?" Itachi answered in a slightly annoyed tone. It would probably be best to make himself as antisocial as possible to avoid unnecessary conversation.

Unfortunately Blake's father seemed very interested in Itachi. "I saw you an you're other teammates on television. You were those who had no aura but uncommon abilities. Is that true?"

"It's true." Was Itachi's simple answer.

Unsatisfied Blake's mother wanted to dig deeper. "Now don't be so shy, what is this uncommon ability of yours?"

Itachi noticed how everyone in the room was looking at him, he was now the center of attention and he didn't like it. That's what he gets for keeping his powers so secretive all this time, it only spiked there curiosity.

The Uchiha put down his teacup and activated his sharing. "My eyes have to ability to analyze and even copy fighting styles, plus if people look directly into my eyes they are trapped in my illusions."

"That can't be all. You guys were amazing in the festival and you did so much more like breathing fire." Sun answered while being exited to learn more about Itachi's abilities.

The Uchiha sighed and showed changed the pattern in his eyes. The Mangekyou wasn't the reason he could breath fire but it would be annoying and to mind blowing for them to learn about jutsu. "My eyes have the ability to evolve and grant me more power."

Even Blake was now intrigued by this conversation. "How do you evolve your eyes?"

Itachi let out a long sigh. "Traumatic experiences."

The room fell silent or a moment. He could basically already hear them saying apologies and that they all were so sorry about this, but he really didn't need to hear or want to hear them. So he continued talking to make this as uncomfortable as possible for everyone in the room.

"The first death I witnessed was at the age of around eight, a man who was killed by my father. The next were two of my friends at the age of twelve. A couple of years later I witnessed my best friend, my neighbor and my parents slaughtered before me. I was so close to them I could feel there blood splatter onto my face. Shortly after that I joined to Akatsuki who were all broken in similar ways."

The room felt cold and was absolutely silent while Itachi simply took another sip from his tea. "This is very delicious tea."

A loud knock was heard throughout the room and Ghira immediately got up from his seat. "I forget about the meeting, I should probably go."

as Ghira quickly walked out of the room Blake turned to her mother. "Who is at the door?"

"Oh just some members of the white fang." She answered with a simple smile.

Naturally the two students immediately got of her feet and bolted towards the door. Kali followed her daughter.

Itachi however simply enjoyed the little tea time he had. Whatever the white fang wanted was not his concern. It was kisame's Job do infiltrate the white fang and father Information, not his.

Now that he thought about it he remembered that he was supposed to deliver something to the smuggler in this town. Night time would probably be best in this situation.

In the middle of the night, near a desolate road that no merchant or Wanderer even dared to go was a small group seated around a little camp fire. The group was Listening to the huntsman Qrow who told them about the threat that loomed over Remnant, sibling gods of light and darkness and about the maidens.

The huntsman ended his story and watched as the kids let all this information sink in, the two Akatsuki members however were only interested in the part with the two gods. If there were god like entities in this world then maybe that creature that summoned them into this world was one of them.

Jaune looked up at the huntsman. "So that is what you wanted with Pyrrha? To make here into one of these maidens?"

Qrow shook his head. "No kid, we told her everything and gave her a choice."

"Take the power or let the power be taken by the villains. Sounds more like a ultimatum then a choice." Konan simply answered. The two Akatsuki members were aware of the existence of maidens and there power but they were holding back information after information from them at every possible turn. Something like that surly hurt any form of trust.

Qrow had no answer to this. "Look, we made mistakes but you guys should understand. You two did things for the better and the worse."

Nagato narrowed his eyes. "We saved Amber the best way we could and fought for your kingdom. The only thing we regret is that Hidan sacrificed himself."

Ruby flinched a bit at the mention of the immortal and held on to the necklace Hidan gave her, the only thing of him she could truly hold on. Nora however had another question. "You said you helped Amber, wasn't she the girl who was the last maiden?"

Nagato nodded. "Do you remember Sasori's puppet Minerva? Don't you think it's odd how self aware she is, how uncommonly human she appears from time to time?"

Ren's eyes slightly widened. "Don't tell me you put her consciousness into a Maschine."

The paper angel answered this question. "It was sadly the only thing we could do to improve her life. Sasori was working with her day and night until she was truly comfortable in her new body."

"We are thankful for what you did but don't act like you and your group never made a mistake." Qrow said with a hint of rage in his voice.

Nagato crossed his arms. "And what exactly did we do that was so bad?"

"Murdering the whit fang members at the docks, showing everyone that huntsman are completely capable of killing and even influencing other students. During the fight with that Fanus that work for Salem, Ruby could've easily cut off his tail and make him unable to fight. Instead she was aiming for his head with the intent to kill. The Ruby I know would never step so low." Qrow said clearly angry.

Ruby was looked at the ground in shame simply because she knew he was right. She wanted to kill and the worst part is she wasn't completely sure if she would've regretted it or not.

Ren stood up and tried to calm down the situation. "How about we all take a rest for now? We have a long walk ahead of us and I don't believe being tired is going to help us."

The two Akatsuki members also stood up. Konan grabbed one sleeping-bag. "I wish you all a good night."

They were just about to look for a secluded corner before Nora spoke. "Wait you two, you only have one bag with you."

konan turned around with a smile. "Don't worry, we don't mind sharing."

"Oh don't be ridiculous, we have a spare one you could use." Nora proudly said while holding up another sleeping-bag.

Nagato and Konan turned to Qrow who only smirked. "Bad luck."

At night the Uchiha walked around the docks of this wonderful tropical island. Even during the night the weather was mostly pleasing. Not as hot during the day but comfortable warm.

Itachi enjoyed this temperature for a little while longer before resuming at the task at hand. It wasn't hard to spot the lurking Fanus in the night with the help of his Sharingan.

As he approached he managed to fully see this Fanus. A male rat like Fanus who was wearing nothing but old black rags. He was leaning against the wall with a smirk. "A human on the island of Fanus. If you aren't a smuggler I'd eat the next garbage bin."

"I'm only here to tell the smugglers that the deal is sealed." Itachi answered quit bluntly.

The smuggler chuckled. "To think that old racist barkeeper made a deal with a Fanus. Whatever, he'd probably marry his sister of to a Fanus if it made him any kind of profit."

"What exactly did you agree with him?" Itachi asked out of curiosity.

"A constant supply of special Fanus made liquor. In exchange he will give me a hideout on the mainland." The rat said while scratching his nose.

Itachi crossed his arms. "A hideout?"

The smuggler laughed. "Trust me, you should do the same. What Adam did in the city of Vale was just the beginning. My information tells me that he is hellbent on destroying every major kingdom. I wouldn't be surprised if there leader didn't give him her throne, especially ever since Adam has this bodyguard. The iron grip shark."

"Kisame." Itachi said to himself.

"With that kind of monster in his ranks it's clear that he doesn't want equality. He plans to purge every last human and Fanus that doesn't agree with him." The smuggler said.

Itachi Smirked. "Trust me, i won't be purged easily."

The rat was laughing loud. "We will see, especially since I saw white fang members running around in this area. They won't take kindly to you here."

With those words the smuggler went on his way to prepare for his departure. Itachi however decided to stay here for a while. He wanted to see if he couldn't interrogate one of Adam's little pawns.
