Disclaimer: I do not own Naruto
Last Time on Someone Like Me
"What's his name?" I said opening my own scroll for the information.
"Naruto Uzumaki." Itachi said looking at me like I should have known that information already.
Well shit.
~~~~~~~~~~Start of Chapter~~~~~~~~~~
Third Person POV:
It had two days since their mission, and the three had been traveling nonstop. Misayo was in front of the group, Itachi close behind, and Kisame bringing up thee the rear. When Misayo suddenly stopped.
"Hey Itachi, we're near a town. Can we stop at an inn?" Misayo asked looking at the raven.
"No"
"But, we don't have to be there for at least three days, and we are a half a day away."
"No"
"What if I say please?"
"No"
"Look here asshole-"
"Itachi, I'm hungry, in more ways than one, if you catch my drift. And, Misayo most likely has to rest." Kisame said halting what Misayo was going say.
"Fine." Itachi said as he took the lead. Misayo followed him, giving the stink eye the rest of the way to the small town. Once they got there they found a small inn, in which Itachi rented two rooms. One room had two queen size bed, while the other had only one, also rented something else that neither Misayo or Kisame heard. The room with two beds were on the fifth floor (which was the top floor) while the other was on the first floor.
"Thanks for getting me my own room. And, here I thought you were going to make me sleep in the same room as you two brutes." Misayo said as she reached for the room key for the one bed room. But a pale hand beat her to it.
"I don't think so. Kisame is getting that room. Or did you not understand what he needed to do?" Itachi said as he threw the key towards the shark-man. "Oh, and Kisame let's not have a repeat of the last time we stayed at an inn." With that said Kisame left the two standing at the front desk.
"Why does he get his own room?" Misayo said as she watched Itachi pick up the remaining keys and headed towards the stairs.
"Hn"
"How come when he asked to stop you agree, but when I asked, not even two minutes before you refused?"
"Hn."
"Are you going answer me?"
"Hn
"So, we're back to that response are we?"
"Hn"
"And here I thought we were past this."
"Hn"
"And another thing, what happened last time you guys stayed at an inn?"
"Kisame has this thing about sleeping with hookers and not paying them."
"So, what happened?" By this point the pair had gotten to their door and Itachi was unlocking it.
"Nothing that concerns you. And, as to why Kisame got the other room was so he can be with his lady friend." Itachi said as he put his bag on the bed closest to the door.
"So why not get three rooms?" Misayo asked as she placed her bag on the bed next towards the window.
"In case you forgot, Leader-sama said to keep you safe. The safest place for you is by my side."
"I'm not some ch-" Misayo started before a knock on the door was heard. "did you order room service?"
"How could I? I've been talking to you the whole time." Itachi said as he opened the door. On the other side of the door was a hotel worker, he was rolling in a room divider. Itachi gave him a tip so larger that it would have made Kakuzu cringe.
"What's that for?" Misayo asked when she looked at the device that Itachi had put between their beds.
"I thought that was obvious."
"What, it's not like you haven't seen me in my underwear before." (If you haven't gotten it before now before now the two were childhood friends. All the little misadventures that I mention will either be shown in a flash back, or I will a one shot for it.)
"We were seven at the time. A lot has changed since then." Itachi said as he laid down.
"Indeed, things have changed." Misayo said as she grabbed the scroll with her weapon, and ran out of the room.
~~~~~~~~~~Line Break~~~~~~~~~~
Two hours, and a few bowls of ramen later Misayo was headed back towards the inn when she spotted a very blue man fighting off five men with his very large sword.
Damn it Kisame, if those men don't kill you, I will! Misayo thought as she reached for her scroll. There was a poof of smoke and a shiny black bow, with white lily flowers on it. (Another reason Konan gave her the codename Ran back in chapter 5) She was also holding a matching quiver. (The thing that holds the arrows) She loaded one of the arrows and took out the guy sneaking up behind Kisame.
"Where the hell did that come from?" One of the men asked as the group looked at Misayo.
"Five, sorry six, against one isn't a fair fight. How about I even the odds a little?" Misayo said as she reloaded the bow. As she was about to shot her second arrow, when a kunai was thrown at her from behind, cutting the bowstring.
"Are you fucking kidding me! Do you know how much that is going to cost me to replace that?" Misayo yelled as she threw a hidden kunai at the the man who cut her bowstring. The man blocked the kunai, or so he thought. The kunai came back and stick it's self in the man's neck. Misayo was so distracted that that she hadn't noticed that another ten men had joined the fight. Two of said men came up behind here and grabbed her and threw her on her back. One man held down her arms, while the second man was on top of her. He leaned to her ear. "That man you killed with your arrow was my little brother, so I'm going to enjoy this." He then ripped her cloak off.
No Misayo thought
He to ripped off her chest bindings.
Not again
He reached for her pants when he suddenly stopped and fell on Misayo, with out a head. A moment later her hands were free. The next thing she knew the man was removed from her and someone was helping her up. Something was put around her now bear shoulders. Once she snapped out of it she realized the person who had saved her was none other the Uchiha she had left back in the room.
"Itachi?"
"What did I tell you about leaving my side?" He said as the bent down and picked up her torn cloak. Upon hearing his words she passed out.
(This is where I was going to end it, but I deiced just to get the reason why they were late all in one chapter.)
~~~~~~~~~~Break Line~~~~~~~~~~
When Misayo woke up, she was back in hotel room. The room was in darkness. Sitting up, she put on her glasses and looked around and noticed that neither Itachi or Kisame were in sight. She laid back down and try to think how she ended up here.
All right think, what happened? Everything is foggy, I can't remember when I fell asleep. What was the last thing I was doing? The last thing I remember, I was getting some ramen and was headed back towards the inn, then, then, then nothing. Where are Itachi and Kisame anyway? Kisame! He was being attacked. I jumped in to help and was useless. At least I didn't cry out to be saved like someone I know. But, that doesn't change the fact that I needed to be saved, and by Itachi no less. What I can't figure out is why Kisame was fighting in the first place.
Once that thought crossed my mind, the door opened with Itachi and Kisame holding some sort of fast food bag.
I'm not ready to face them. Misayo thought as she closed her eyes to act like she never woke up.
"She awake yet?" a gruff voice that could only belong to Kisame asked. Misayo didn't hear the footsteps that belong to Itachi. But she knew that he went past the room divider, because Misayo could faintly smell the forest cologne he uses, mixed with ash and sulfur. She didn't need her eyes opened to know that he had his Sharingan activated.
"No." he lied to the blue skinned man.
"Well, she's been out for over a week. When will she wake up?"
A week!
"Well, if you would have just paid the woman, we wouldn't be in this mess to begin with." Misayo heard Itachi say. Was that a hint of anger in his voice?
"I didn't ask for her help. I could have handle them all, even the ones who were hiding. Now, because of her, not only have we missed our window, we are considered heroes here. I hate it!"
Heroes?
"This is actually better. Not only is Konoha in pieces, but they are stretched thin. It will be easier to get in and out without being seen."
Yep, he's pissed! Nothing else was said before Kisame left the room.
"You can stop pretending to be asleep now, he's gone." Itachi said as he handed over the bag with the food inside. Sitting up, Misayo took a look inside and saw two greasy hamburgers, a large order of fries, and two sticks of dango.
"How did you know I was awake?" Misayo asked crossing her arms.
"You're wearing glasses."
"Oh. What, no drink?" She joked. Itachi pointed to the night stand, where a drink was residing. "Gee, thanks. And FYI maybe it wasn't him I was trying to avoid." Misayo said as she finished off one of hamburgers in four bites. (Don't say this can't be done, because not only have I've seen it, I've done. Don't judge I hadn't eaten for a day and a half because I had to some medical tests)
"Well, you're stuck with me." Itachi said as he stole a stick of dango.
"HEY!" She yelled. "What did Kisame mean that you're heroes here?" Misayo asked the biggest question that was bugging her.
"Well, the guys who were fighting with Kisame were some thugs that had over run the village. Once they were dead we, as in all of us, are considered heroes."
"Doesn't anyone in this village own a bingo book?"
"It's not a shinobi village. That's how they took power."
"Of course it is"
"Anyways get some rest. We will be leaving at dawn." With that said Itachi returned to his side of the room, turned off the lights, and went to bed.
At that moment Misayo realized she had to really go to the bathroom. As she went to get up, she discovered that her legs were like jelly, and it took a few tries to stand.
"Misayo, what are you doing?" Itachi said as he sat up and turned towards the bathroom door, which was in between the beds. (The room divider had to be pushed aside to open the bathroom door.)
"Trying to do the funky chicken. What does it look like? I'm headed towards the bathroom." As she got near the door, Itachi scooted down on his bed and moved the divider with his foot.
"I didn't need your help!" Misayo yelled
"Something tells me you aren't talking about the divider." Itachi said he sat up and looked at the girl.
"I could have handled it. I didn't need saving. I would have figured it out. I'm not helpless!"
"No one said you were. I would like to know why in hell were you just wearing chest bindings under your cloak?" Itachi asked with anger seeping into his voice. At that moment I realized that I was wearing an very large plain black t-shirt.
"It was very hot under the cloak."
"It was hot? And here I thought you had some brains." Itachi said as he got off his bed and stalked up to her, and grabbed my shoulders. "Do you know what the difference between us is?"
"You became genin at age seven, and ANBU captain by age 13. You have a brother and I have a sister. You have a Sharingan and I don't."
"No you smart ass. You are a female, and I am a male. That means I can wear mesh shirt under the cloak, but you can't. Wither you like it or not Leader-sama told me to protect you. I don't don't know why, and I don't care, but you're not making my job any easier when you dress like like that!" Itachi said he yelled at her.
"Let go of me!" Misayo yelled as she tried to free herself from Itachi's grip. Seeing unexplained fear in her eyes, he let go and she fled into the bathroom. After ten minutes, and a few deep breaths later, she came out. Itachi had laid back down with his back facing the divider. When she got to her bed, Misayo found her cloak laying on it. The rips had been sown and there was also a small Lilly sown on the sleeve. Nothing else was said as Misayo let her self come to the sweet darkness.
~~~~~~~~~~Break Line~~~~~~~~~~
Misayo had woken up by a crow pecking her hand lightly. In his mouth was her glasses. She looked at the crow, it was normal if you overlooked the fact that he had a Sharingan in his left eye.
"Hello Tenshi. I've missed you." Misayo said as she sat up and noticed that she was alone with the bird. The little crow flew up and landed on her shoulder where a bruise was forming.
"Hi Hun. I've missed you too. You grew up nicely. You have everything Itachi wants in a girl."
"Is he still mad at me?"
"Yeah, but he wanted me to wake you so we can leave soon." Tenshi said as rubbed his rubbed her cheek with his beak, as if to comfort her. "Did he do that?" the bird asked lifting his wing pointing to the fading buses on her writs.
"No, some bandits did that a week ago."
"What about the one I'm standing on?"
"Where is he anyways."
"I'm going to take you answer, or lack there of, as a yes. As to where Itachi is, he's in the lobby. He's waiting for you there."
"That eye lets you see things you shouldn't. You know, you're almost as smart as Kaiko." Misayo said as removed the crow from her shoulder, and placed him on the bed.
"Who's Kaiko?" Tenshi asked as he watch Misayo walk towards the bathroom.
"She's my summon. She's a bird just like you."
"She is. What type? I would love to meet her. If's she's as smart as you claim, I wouldn't mind have her watch my hatch-lings. If you catch my drift. Can you summon her?" Tenshi said as flew around her head.
"Calm down Crowsanova. (it's a play on the word Casanova) I've got to get ready and you will be leaving in three … two … one." right after she said one the bird went poof, and Misayo was alone in the room. After a quick shower, Misayo packed everything, and then some. She was dressed in black ninja pants, an over large t-shirt, and her fixed Akatsuki cloak. She had her long hair in a pony tail. After looking herself in the mirror, she then headed out to meet the the boys, or at least Itachi.
Once she had gotten there she saw Itachi sitting in at a table at the built in cafe. He was reading the same book he was back at the base.
"Hey Itachi." Misayo said as she sat down across from him.
"Hn" Itachi said not even looking up.
Deja vu much.
"Well I wanted to thank you for sending Tenshi to wake me. He's gotten big."
"Is that all?"
"No, I wanted to also thank you for what you've done for me in this past week. Everything from fixing my cloak, to saving me. And I'll have you know that I have thought over what you said last night, and that will no longer be a problem. I will always wear a t-shirt under it." To prove her point, Misayo undid her cloak and showed the teen. "Happy now? I didn't have any on me so I have to make do with the one I woke up in." Misayo said as she sat back down.
"Can we get out of here already?" a voice said behind them. The voice belonged to the one, the only, Kisame.
"Sure." Itachi said as he stood up and walked out of the cafe. Misayo followed his actions, only pausing to re-close her cloak. When she stood, Kisame saw the shirt she was wearing.
"You look good in my clothes." The blue man said as he walked behind Misayo.
"Oh st-" What ever Misayo was going to say, died on her toung. When she got outside, Misayo saw a huge golden statue of the three of them. Itachi was on the left his hand up doing what looked like the fireball jutsu, his back was to Misayo. Misayo was in the middle with her bow drawn, she was leaning on Itachi, and her arrow was pointed at Kisame. Kisame, who was on the right, had his sword in the air, ready to strick, the bindings on the sword coming off of it. (I just described the statue, not the real people.)
"A statue, really?" Misayo said as she pulled out of her camera and took a picture of it. "This is a real work of art."
"Work of art? Are you related to Sasori, or maybe Deidara?" Kisame asked as he looked at the girl.
"Not that I know of." Misayo said as she pulled out a scroll. From the scroll, she unsealed a tripod for her camera. After setting it up, She took looked at the boys, who were staring at her. "What? I wanted us to take a picture in front of it." Kisame didn't say anything he just went and stood in front of himself.
"Not happening" Itachi said looking at the girl.
"Please." The girl asked giving him puppy dog eyes.
"You forget, if I didn't cave to that when we were children, what makes you think I'll cave now?" Itachi asked as he raised an eyebrow.
"It was worth a try. Look take the stupid picture, or I'll" the rest was un heard by everyone else, not even Kisame, with his ninja hearing. What ever Misayo told Itachi, it made him do pale, ever so slightly. He then stood in front of himself. Misayo took her spot, after setting the timer.
"Alright boys, cheese in three … two … one cheese!" Misayo said as she closed her eyes, and brought both of her fists to chin. Kisame had a big shit eating grin, while Itachi just stood looking at the ca mera.
"As much as I like this thing, it has got to go." Misayo said as she put away the tripod. She went into a different scroll and pulled out her bow and arrows. The trio walked a ways out of town before Misayo took aim, and fired the arrow. As quick as she would have loaded the next arrow, Misayo pulled out her camera and took of the statue exploding.
"Are you sure you're not related to Deidara?" Kisame said taking a look at the scene.
"He wishes." was the only reply before they took off towards Konoha.
~~~~~~~~~~End of Chapter~~~~~~~~~~
To clear some things up. Itachi and Misayo were childhood friends. I will get more into that later.
The crow that woke Misayo has Shisui's Sharingan in the left eye. The same one that he stores within Naruto. It isn't named so I named it. His name means angel.
I can't think of anything else, if there's something I missed, or you're confused on either leave a review or send me a PM and I will get back to you.
