Kagome x Itachi

Warning: None

Tainted

He had been her irritation since the day they had met in the ninja academy, the thorn in her side with his perfect nature and his perfect skill at being a ninja, there was no comparison to him and that irritated her even more. He was the prodigy of his clan and she seemed to be the embarrassment of her own, with her lack of notable skill in anything to do with being a ninja. On one or more occasion she simply wanted to give up and every time she went to toss in the towel he was there, annoying her with his advice on this and that, making her strive to perfect her skills. His unwanted help caused the girl to improve and start earning the respect of her clan's head, soon they were both graduating early and passing the genin. They were the perfect team, and their friendship was approved by both clans, her hate turned into love as they both completed mission's for the village and ranking a hundred percent completion on all of them. They grew up together, everything was perfect in every sense of the word until that fateful night, the night he chose to slaughter his entire clan.

Her heart thundered in her chest as she ran towards the Uchiha compound, dread filling her body as she rounded a corner. She knew something was wrong, she had the same feeling for the past week. He had been acting odd since he had been recruited into the ANBU and now...now she knew something happened and he was involved with it. Feet silent as they hit the ground and bounced off, propelling herself forward towards the compound. Another corner and she was stopped in her tracks at the stench of blood that covered the air and ground. Her nose was sensitive like that of a dog's along with her hearing and sight, a genetic trait thanks to her bloodline, it was similar to that of the Inuzuka but at the same time even greater.

Hesitant steps into the compound had her heart sinking to the floor, blood coated building's and the ground along with bodies of young and old, members of the Uchiha all cut down without a standing chance. A hand covered her mouth as wide blue eyes filled with tears for those that could no longer shed them, it was in that moment the traitor appeared before her. Not even an ounce of blood on his clothing or hands, a move she had seen first hand on their own missions, angry red eyes pinned her to her spot as he looked through her. "You are an idiot for coming here" He stated watching the only true friend he had left alive, the pain in her face was enough to question his actions, but he had no other choice in this matter. Fate had been sealed and the gear's of time were in motion. "A..a fool Itachi? Am I a fool? What does that make you? Murder, traitor, I will take being a fool over that you monster!" She shouted at the male, tear's sliding down pale cheeks as she moved to ready a weapon against him, but he had always been faster than her, always had been better.

His hand wrapped painfully around her wrist, almost to the point of breaking it as his eyes stared into those betrayed blue eyes, her true ability still lying under the surface. One day it would be greater than his own bloodline limit, but she needed to be broken first. Beaten down to nothing for it to activate and she would be the greatest weapon of all, something that would destroy the village if left tainted. "Burn that hatred for me, Kagome, let it fester like a sore and then maybe one day you will be able to kill me." In an instant, he snapped her wrist like it was a tree branch. Pain rushed up against her arm and stilled the scream in her throat as his lips pressed against her own in a chaste brush, tasting her sweetness and she tasted the taint.

"Maybe one day you won't be so weak."

And like the wind he was gone from sight, leaving a broken girl behind cradling her wrist among a sea of the dead, her head lifting to the sky as a scream was let out to the moon that hid behind the clouds. The scream in it's pain would alert the ANBU to the massacre and her current state, a small cry to the right caught her attention, blue eye's snapping to the door of the main house as a small figure crawled out of the shadows. Another pained sob echoed from her chest as she took in the sight of the only one to live, he spared only one.

"Sasuke"
