Ch 2- Setting the plan into action

"Konan what is it?" Pein turned around to face the blue haired kunoichi.

Konan stood her ground, not showing any sign of nervousness. "Well Itachi is irritated and I think it would be good for him to go out on a mission."

"What mission did you have in mind?"

"Well I thought he could go assassinate the leader of the resistance against the Akatsuki. They haven't gotten very strong, so I think Itachi could handle it alone."

"Hmm that seems like a good idea. Send him off Konan; that is all."

"Hai Pein," Konan smirked, shutting the door from the office. "Baka."

Konan walked on down the hallway, heading for Itachi's room. Knocking on the door, Itachi silently answered and immediately came out once he saw Konan there.

They walked down the hallway sneakily and unnoticed, all for Itachi's real mission. The two opened a wooden door, entering an empty room, covered in dust.

"Alright Pein was easily fooled into 'sending' you on a mission I already accomplished; now we just need to transform you into a cat." Konan shut the door, locking it and turning to face Itachi. "Now, Deidara promised not to tell anyone about the mission and to not sabotage you in the name of love."

Itachi sighed sitting on a chair in the abandoned room; it is one of the spares, trying to relax himself. The room is ways away from the rest, so they will not be heard; or discovered down there.

"Good relaxing will make this run smoother. Are you a hundred percent positive that you want to do this? If you do this I can't be undone."

Itachi stayed silent putting all his concentration on this matter. "Hai, if this will help me get closer to Kisame then... I want to do it."

Konan smiled and nodded her head. "Alright this requires silence. Also it will hurt... a lot." A serious look on her face

Itachi stayed emotionless and nodded his head in an understanding way. Konan cracked her fingers and started making the necessary hand signs for the jutsu to work effectively.

Creating the necessary hand signs for the jutsu Konan says, "Neko Henshin no Jutsu [cat transformation]" Konan placed her glowing hand gently on to Itachi's bare forehead.

Once the jutsu began to affect Itachi's form, he screamed bloody murder. He clutched his forehead, clawing at the pain. His skeleton taking a new shape as he doubles over in pain. His normal human ears shift and point outward, becoming cat ears. Itachi's raven hair spreads over his flesh turning into fur. His onyx eyes turn to a bright yellow transforming into a more cat-like form.

Once the jutsu is done, Konan hunched over panting. That jutsu takes a lot out of her. She looked at the floor to see a small, adorable kitten standing there where Itachi was sitting.

The kitten has all black fur that is so soft and smooth, though the fur extends a bit more in front of his eyes. His eyes are bright yellow and have that cat look to them. The kitten's ears were soft and twitched at the noises. A long tail swayed through the air back and forth.

"I-tachi?" She questioned, holding her hand out to pet him. When her hand was close enough, the kitten licked her fingers, causing her to giggle. "Seems like the jutsu is a success. Aren't you a little cutie?"

Konan picked up the small kitten, cradling him in her arms lovingly. "Kisame is going to love you Itachi!"

Itachi mewed happily, purring softly as Konan pet behind his ears. She carried him carefully as she unlocked the door and snuck out of the base. 'I think I'm going to enjoy this mission' Itachi smirked awaiting the next the seven days to end.

Once far enough away she gently put him down smiling. "Alright remember the plan? You act tired and cute, get Kisame to take you back to the base, and get him to love you. Kisame should be coming up soon. If he doesn't take you to the base come back anyway and we'll think of a plan B."

Itachi nodded his little furry head and walked, more like stalked off, excited for the plan to come into action.

~With Kisame~

"That was such a troublesome mission. I only got to kill a few victims. Ah well I still got it done and I did not spend too much." Kisame sighed shifting so that Samehada was not digging into his back.

He groaned tired and hungry but kept walking on, thinking of the most random things. He was not looking where his feet where walking, suddenly he trips over something.

"Ugh, what the hell-" Kisame sat up and looked over at the ground to see that he tripped over a small kitten. "Oh you power thing, did I hurt you?"

He picked up the kitten petting his delicate fur. 'Let's see a huge shark falling on a small kitten, oh I'm just peachy- nya~ I like that' Itachi let out a cute meow as Kisame continued petting him. 'I really like this jutsu.'

"Come on little guy, I'm taking you back to the hideout." Kisame smiled getting up and heading back to the Akatsuki lair.

'Victory!' Itachi smirked and snuggled closer to the large shark, planning his next move for tomorrow.
