Healing A Lonely Murderer

An Itachi Love Story

My POV

Itachi just stood there, waiting for you to make your attack. You stared right back at him, making sure not to stare directly into his eyes. 1. He could put you in an illusion and 2. You could get lost in them. Your posture made it look like you were waiting for him to start, but you were really thinking of how you were going to kill him. Your kitten, I mean white and black leopard had a scared look on his face. Your eyes widened.

"Wow. He's THAT dangerous? Let me see for myself." Mickey nodded. Since Mickey is an animal, he can sense how much chakra someone has, no matter how much they're trying to hide it. He's also a very good tracker. Which helped you big time when you purposely tried to piss Naruto off. Maybe I'll tell that story another time. He can also warn you if your fighting an opponent who's gonna leave you with more than a few cuts and bruises. You closed your eyes for a second and reopened them, showing your Kekkei Genkai. The iris of your eyes turning a dazzling royal purple and the pupil the color of the deep blue depths of the ocean. An evil smirk added to the ecstatic eyes.

"Can we hurry this up? I have a 5 o clock appointment with my Nail Salon." A chuckle escaped your throat and you mentally patted your back for that one. Itachi just glared and got in a fighting stance. His black bangs spilling around the sides of his face. Mickey disappeared and a few seconds later Kisame screamed. Chuckling, you made a few super fast hand signs [learned it from Kakashi and lifted your hands up. Immediately the ground around you lifted up, pausing for a second before making itself into dagger shaped rocks. With the flick of your index finger, the fake daggers sped forwards to attack Itachi. [If you haven't found out yet. Your clan's secret is the power to control your environment. You just happen to have a fighting cat that can turn into a leopard too. Along with the flying daggers, was a large black shuriken that you snuck in there. Surprisingly, Itachi just stood there as the daggers forced him to the ground. Then you made your hands into a fist and yelled "Rock Prison!" The ground on top of Itachi now compressed.

You ran up to the pile of rocks and built some chakra into your hands and punched one of the rocks making the whole pile and the ground tear slightly in half. Very much like Sakura did when she opened the entrance to the Akatsuki. You step back admiring your work until you felt hot breathing on the back your neck and a cold kunai to your throat. A gasp escaped your throat.

"Nice try" the deep males voice answered to your heavy breathing. Itachi thought it was over but that Mayu was a shadow clone. The real you never left the tree with the kunai lodged in its bark. The fake Mayu proofed and 20 other Mayu's appeared, surrounding Itachi. He made a slightly amused look but then brought back his emotions. "I see. You control earth."

"Mmhmm. And more, but I wouldn't give it away now would I?" one of the fake Mayu's said with that same smirk plastered on her face. Unlike of the dumber ninjas, you knew never to give away your secrets. Itachi smirked back and threw a kunai into the tree you were hiding and hit your shoulder. Wincing, you pulled it out and jumped down from the tree. "Your too smart for your own good."

"Hm." He answered as he took his hand out of his coat, but you knew all too much about the Uchiha from his heartthrob of a brother and didn't look into his fingers, also avoiding his eyes. [You could get trapped into an illusion simply from looking into his eyes and his hands

"Your gonna have to try better than that" and you disappeared. Suddenly you were 50 feet into the air [That's pretty high and took the 2 kunai from your hair, allowing your long brown/red hair to let loose. A purple glow started to surround you and a thick gust of wind moved about. A fog started to cloud the forest in a hazy kind of way and the sky turned deep purple. Trees started to pull from its roots and Mickey became fiercer in his fight with Kisame. Water rose from nearby lakes in pointy droplets and turned to ice when you made the temperature freezing point and threw them at Itachi. He dodged them all but 2. Which he pulled out and tried his best to get in close range to you.

Mayu's POV:

i Boy am I stupid. I'm using up waay too much chakra at once. At this rate I'll pass out and that bastard would win anyway. /i Well, I kept the fighting and the attacks going for another 5 minutes until I felt arms sling around my waist. I gasped at the contact and lost some of my concentration, making it easier for the weasel to hit my pressure points and knock me out. Everything went black as I sighed and fell into something very warm.

Itachi's POV:

She put up a great fight, but I could tell she was using too much chakra. I made a clone and made it occupy her while I snuck up behind her and knocked her out. i Oh great, now I'm going to have to carry her. /i We dropped to the ground with her in my arms and I landed on my feet. I slung her over my shoulder and knocked her kitty out too. He was about to kill the tired and bleeding Kisame anyway.

"Alright. Let's go back. No point in going to the village anyway when we got a surprise for Leader." I sighed and said in my usual cold tone.

"But Itachi-sama! That thing is a girl…and her kitty almost killed me!" Kisame started to complain with me again. Ugh.

"She's a very strong opponent and will do very few in the Akatsuki" and with that being said I started back to the hideout.

Mayu's POV:

I woke up to realize I'm was in a bed. A very comfortable one too. Not being the morning person, I turned and huggled the pillow ro my chest and hoped for the sun to go back down. At first I thought I was in my room, but then I opened my eyes again and looked around. i My room doesn't have black and red walls…/i I thought stupidly. A few more seconds and all the memories of the fight came flooding back to me and I started screaming.

"WHERE. THE. FUCK. AM I? SOMEONE BETTER TELL ME RIGHT NOW OR I'LL…" I was cut off by that dark voice I didn't want to hear at the moment.

"Shut up. Your in Akatsuki." He said as he walked into the room. I took a deep breath and started again.

"WHO ARE YOU FUCKING TELLING TO SHUT UP? FIRST YOU BEAT ME AND BRING ME BACK TO YOUR LITTLE HIDEOUT." Screaming and mad at the same time. But then I stop as I realize something. It's really cold in here but Itachi's not shivering. Weird. As I get up I look down. i I'M IN MY UNDERWEAR/i My arms folded over my boobs, trying to cover what the bra wasn't.

"I WANT ANSWERS NOW!!! WHY AM I IN MY UNDERWEAR? DID ONE OF YOU BASTARDS MOLEST ME?!?!" I took a deep breath in order to continue, but Itachi stopped me by picking me up by my neck. His crimson eyes bore painfully into mine as I held his wrist in an effort to release me. He didn't budge.

"You should watch your tone with me. I can kill you right here. Right now." He said quite evilly, but serious. His lips barely moved when he talked, and when he finished, he returned to the crazy glued frown on his face. I'd admit it, I was a little scared of him too. My feet dangled loosely in the air and I gasped as I started to lose air. He let me go. I landed on my feet and checked my neck for any injuries. He spoke up: "I bandaged your wounds."

I threw my hands up in the air and rolled my eyes in an annoying fashion. "Above all people. It HAD to be you?" I said as I started to get irritated and I was starting to hate this guy anyway.

Itachi: smirks "Oh, if that's how you feel, then I could of let the other guys here bandage you."

Me: I shivered a little. Were the people here that creepy? Gosh. "Okay, fine. Turn around or get out."

Itachi: "I've already seen you in your underwear." He smirked but surprisingly kept his eyes in contact with yours without going down your body.

I had a disgusted look on my face and I pushed him out the door and locked it. He could of easily overpowered it but he played along. I took off the carefully wrapped bandages and made my hand glow green as I started to heal my wounds. 5 minutes later I was done and I saw my clothes – surprisingly clean- sitting in a chair. LUCKY ME! When I was done, I started to get bored and I observed the room. Normal guy room with a bathroom attachment. Etc. Etc. But then I realized, I was kidnapped.

Me: "Itachi!" I yelled angrily.

Ita [yes, I will start calling him that occasionally- he walked in and as if he read my mind. "You're not leaving. Your joining the Akatsuki if Leader approves." He said while walking into the room you were in. The realization hit me hard. I'll probably never see Konoha again! But then again, I'm a traveler and I've only stayed in Konoha for 2 or 3 years. [She had different guardians throughout her life and had to move a lot.

Me: "No…" I sat on the bed and burying my face in my hands. Trying to make myself cry, I couldn't. The only person who I would really miss would be Kakashi, because he was my sensei for a year or maybe less than that. My guardian beat me like I was some toy and the others…I don't want to talk about.

Ita: he came closer to me. "You shouldn't cry over Konoha. I'm guessing your pet was your best friend anyway." He said a little less cold. I stopped crying and looked up, mentally slapping myself. THAT'S RIGHT. MICKEY! I stood up and looked in the mirror that was above the dresser of the room.

Me: "I'm guessing this is your room?" I asked the bastard behind me.

Itachi: "No, it's the guest room. No one goes into my room." He answered.

Me: "Oh really?" I said sarcastically. The other members must really be afraid of him.

Itachi: "Really." He said and I was about to walk out the door. I tucked some of my long red hair behind my ears. Well act least it looked red from the lighting. Pretty good. As always.

Me: "Where is he exactly?" I asked him and just then Mickey ran in through the door and hid behind my feet, looking like he just saw a ghost. I brought him to my face. "Mick, what happened?" I asked worriedly. Just then a man or should I say plant walked in. I screamed and hid behind Itachi still holding the shivering kitten.

Itachi: he was shocked by my action but he shrugged it off. "Zetzu, you can't eat the cat. Or the girl." He said annoyingly, putting a hand on my back and pushing me forward to greet the monster. Zetzu looked very sad now.

Me: looking back towards Itachi- "I have a name ya know…" and then to the monster - "H-Hi Zetzu." I waved shyly, still slightly afraid of him. Zetzu looked me up and down and whined to Itachi with a 'Why?' look on his face. If I was in my right state of mind, I would of punched him in the stomach for looking at me that way. But I was way too scared of him. Then Itachi made the meanest glare and I shivered a little.

Me: "I think I'm gonna take a walk." I said and with that I picked Mickey up in my arms and walked out the door. The hallway was a shade a red too. With a white roof and wooden floors. As soon as I was in the hallway, I knew I was lost. Anyone who saw me could tell that I had no idea where I was going. I started a mindless walk down the hallway. But then I saw a blonde guy 4 inches taller than me, in a long Akatsuki cloak. Talk about a hottie. He had green eyes just like my mothers and long blonde hair that was put in a high ponytail with some hair falling out of it. I almost wanted to pull the long blonde bangs that fell over his left eye.

Me: "Hey! I'm Mayu. And this is Mickey. Who are you?" The blonde looked at me for a moment and it seemed like he was debating on what to do. I tilted my head to the side. He looked at my cat and then he flinched when Mickey glared at him.

Blonde: "I'm Deidara, yeah. Are you in the Akatsuki, un?" said the hottie. Mickey, who was still in my arms, growled. I scratched behind his eyes to distract him from attempting to kill Dei.

Me: "Yeah, I guess so! And I also kinda don't know where I'm going…" then I thought about it for a moment. I should probably go see leader. "Can you show me to where 'Leader' is?" Mickey, who was too distracted to care about Deidara disappeared from my arms. That was normal. Mickey has a place for himself in some other world. Deidara grinned and nodded.

Deidara's Pov:

Some hot red-haired girl asked me to help her. How could I turn her down? But what's a chick like this doing in a house full of murderers, un? I hope she survives the week. It's gonna take a while before she gets used to us. Hmm, I wonder if she has a bf… But one thing I know for sure. She's hot. Yeah. And I don't think the cat likes me. [Dei-kun doesn't use yeah and un's that much when he's thinking. And for all the people that don't know. He is in fact, a guy. And this is an ITACHI love story, NOT Dei.

Me: "I have a mission to do, un. But do you wanna meet my partner, Sasori no Danna, yeah?"

Mayu: "Sure! I think this will the start of a beautiful friendship, Dei." She said happily. I smiled at her. She's so cute and she already made a nickname for me, un.We kept walking until we reached Danna's room.

Mayu's POV:

Dei: "Sasori no Danna! We have a new member." He said as he knocked on a door. "Fine." The voice from inside the room said. I wonder what he looks like. Just then the door opened and a red head stepped out. Oh yeah, another hottie. Why am I so lucky? This guy had messy red hair, kinda reminded me of that Gaara kid, but this dude had brown eyes and looked around 18 or 19.

Sasori: "Hey. I'm Sasori." He said boredly as he waved at me. I smiled and waved back. "I'm Mayu. Nice to meet you, Sasori!" he looked kinda surprised at my kindness. Sasori walked out of his room and walked down the hallway.

Dei: "Come on, hm. His office is this way." He said when Sasori was gone. I nodded as I followed him.

Me: "What is he like?" I asked as we started walking.

Dei: "Hmm. Red hair, red eyes, piercings, kinda mean and likes to hide in the shadows, un."

Me: "Oh great. Another weasel." I joked. We both started laughing and then we reached a big door. He patted my back and opened the door, pushing me inside. I looked inside the room. It was dark in here. I made out a chair and a desk though. Deciding that I should give Leader some respect so he won't kill me, I said, "Um, Leader-sama? Itachi said I should come here…". A man with orange hair, hypnotic red eyes and 6 piercings on his nose appeared in the chair. He looked at me for a second and then spoke.

Leader: "Ah, you must be Mayu. Do you want to join our little organization?" knowing I didn't have a choice, I just nodded. "Good. My name is Pein. I heard that you already fought Itachi, so you don't need to fight anyone to get in. Every member gets a cloak and a ring and you'll get yours later. You rooms being decorated so for tonight you have to share a room with someone." Great. I'm scared of most of these guys anyway. I was feeling pretty brave so I asked him.

Me: "What can I call you, Leader? Leader-sama?" It looked like he never was asked this question before. He pondered for a moment.

Leader: "Leader-sama or Pein." I was happy that I could call him Pein. Felt pretty special. [fyi, I dnt like Konan so she doesn't exist in this story. "That is all." I turned and walked outside the door to see the one and only Itachi leaning against the wall. I could never get enough of how pretty his eyes are. Loll, I bet the bastard knew he was sexy. I smiled and ran to him.

Me: in front of him- "Itachi! Guess what? I'm in the Akatsuki now!" I said happily. I couldn't stop smiling. I don't know what it was about this place, but it seemed like we were gonna have a FUN time. He didn't look too surprised. "AND, here's the best part. I'm sleeping in your room tonight!" Now this shocked him. His eyebrow rose is question, but then he brought it back down and he sighed. I wanted to mess with him so I poked him in the stomach, trying to find his tickle spot. I also got a feel of his toned stomach. HEHE!

Itachi: "What are you doing?" about to grab my hand when I found it. His sides were ticklish. He made a sound and bit his lip to stop from smiling. "Smile for me Itachi!" I said. I finally made him smirk after a few more seconds. Then I stopped and got ready to run while he getting his breath back. But he grabbed my arm before I could sprint. He knew that if he let me run, I would easily outrun him.

Itachi: "I'm pant gonna get you pant for that." He said smirking a little bit more. I smiled back. He regained his composure. "Let's go." He said as he started walking down the hallway.

Me: "Where are we going?" I asked. Almost TOO curious.

Itachi: "To meet the other members. You wouldn't want them to think you're an intruder and kill you in your sleep, would you?" I shivered as I was beginning to think that he was trying to scare me.

Me: "Your just trying to scare me, Itachi. But I'm too smart for that." I smirked.

Itachi: "Hm. Since when?" he smirked as he started to walk down the hallway, with me beside him.

Me: "Since I became a Medic Nin, When I was 10." I boasted. I wanted to make the guy jealous.

Itachi: "Hm. You can heal?" sounding a little bit interested

Me: "Mmhmm. Good thing you guys have me. Cause when I kick all your asses, your gonna need me so you don't die." I smiled sweetly.

Itachi: "Oh, so you think you can beat me?" he said slightly amused.

Me: "I would of beat you last night if you didn't hug me." I smiled and nudged him in the ribs. He opened his mouth to protest but we reached the living room with a lot of guys in there. It was a normal room with a flat screen TV [must of stole it and several couches. 3 guys were sitting on the couches while Fish Boy was standing up. Hmm, lets see who I can flatter.

Me: "Hey! I'm Mayu Yamanashi!" I said sweetly. Let's see how I'm gonna make my first impression. Fish boy was standing up and he spoke up.

Kisame: "Ah, so she has a name." he muttered. I wasted no time at all disappearing and reappearing to pick Kisame up by the collar and slam him against the wall. [She didn't actually disappear but she moves so fast that if your not paying attention, it looks like she disappeared

Me: practically invading this personal space. "One more smart comment like that and I'll make you into sushi, fish boy." I said meanly followed by a glare. Then, I let him go, dropping him to the ground and leaving him with his mouth agape. Then I turned around to meet everyone's surprised faces. "Anyone else want to introduce themselves?" I asked sweetly, like nothing happened. Heh, I think I made a good first impression. 'Mess with me, and I kill you.'

Zetzu: looking up from the TV- "I'm Zetzu, sorry about earlier…" he said apologetically.

Me: "It's okay. And who are you?" I asked pointed to a guy with white hair and pink eyes. Not hot but he was okay. I just don't see why he doesn't wear a fishnet shirt underneath this cloak. Oh well.

White-eyed guy: "I'm Hidan. Nice to meet you." Then another guy spoke up.

Masked guy: "Kakuzu."

Guy with orange mask: "TOBI IS A GOOD BOY." I twitched a little. He gave a warm hug and I couldn't help but hug back. He was cute, but baby-cute. And I haven't hugged anyone all day. He let go and I ruffled his hair. Itachi had an odd look on his face.

Itachi: "Mentally unstable…" he mumbled. I ignored it, knowing that he was right.

Hidan: "Deidara and Sasori are on a mission, so they'll meet you later."

Me: "Saw then already. Okay, here are the rules." I said while plopping myself in a chair.

Guys: "Rules?"

Me: "Don't ask questions…Rule Number 1: Whistling at me or doing anything in a perverted way, will result in punishment." I made a gesture at Kisame to show my point. They seemed to get it. "Rule Number 2: I.am.not.your.bitch. This means I will not be your cooking and cleaning lady. But since it looks like your kitchen needs some…order.[glancing at the dirty kitchen I'll do the cooking."

Itachi: "Any other rules Ms. Mayu?" he said sarcastically.

Me: acting like a teacher "No, that will be all, but more might be added if I feel like it." I got up and walked towards Itachi. Putting one hand on my hip, I asked him, "Where am I gonna sleep tonight?" running my hand through my hair. What? It's a habit.

Itachi: "My room. Come on." He said as he walked away.

The rest of the guys looked surprised and angered for some reason. Haha, I bet they wish that they could spend the night with me. Losers. I took my finger and pointed it to my butt, making a sizzling sound. They just stared at my butt. Perverts. Sighing, I saw Itachi walking away and I ran to meet him. But then I stopped. 'I should toy with him' I thought and I decided not to move. He stopped to and looked at me with a raised eyebrow. I just stood my ground and once again, putting a hand on my hip. Frustrated, he grabbed my hand and pulled me roughly. Which was really all I wanted. I smiled as I began to swing his arm like a little kid. He looked back at me with a questionable face and smirked.
