Note: W00t! Update xD However short it is xP
"How is he?"
A voice. Itachi perked, or tried to. Somehow, something was constricting his movement…. The ANBU tried to look around. Nothing, just an eternal inky blackness that stretched on for eons.
"He isn't responding. I'm worried, frankly." Another voice. Female. Who could it be?
"He'll pull out of it eventually, Poppy." The other voice. Male. Old. Reedy. Dumbledore.
"Yes Headmaster." The voice known as Poppy must've left the room, because Itachi heard the doors close. Dumbledore shuffled about, making the floorboards creak. "Itachi, you may not be able to hear me, but you have done your duty. Harry Potter is safe."
That's good.
"I must say, we were all quite surprised to find you there. You killed the Dementor." Dumbledore continued. "It is a rare feat here, I'm surprised they haven't taken to idolizing you yet." A chuckle. "Rest assured, we look forward to your rising soon."
I am awake.
Itachi's arm twitched. Dumbledore smiled. He was awake then, or on a certain degree. The old man watched the calm breathing of the young ANBU. He was alive. Turning, Dumbledore left the room.
It was around teatime the ANBU finally awoke. Poppy had leapt back in amazement and fright as the young boy suddenly shot up like a thunderbolt and activated 'those red eyes'. After scanning the room, the boy's eyes returned to a normal color, and Itachi promptly asked Poppy 'to get the Headmaster'.
"Will I have to fight more of those things?" Itachi hissed in Japanese as Dumbledore entered the room. "Those are inhuman! Unnatural!"
"Those were the terms." Dumbledore replied. "I assure you that that thing you fought was not supposed to be there. I will be paying Konoha extra for that."
Itachi grumbled something under his breath. "Fine." He replied. "What is my duty when the boy goes to school?"
"To guard him, of course. You'll be working undercover." Dumbledore replied.
"Undercover?" Itachi asked, peering at Dumbledore.
"I hope you'll be up tomorrow, because you are going to Diagon Alley." Dumbledore smiled as he passed an envelope to the Uchiha. "Here is your list of school supplies."
Itachi took it.
Undercover, huh…?
The day after, Itachi was awake at the crack of dawn. He just got out of the bath when the mirror apparently talked.
"Dumbledore said you should wear those." The mirror spoke. Itachi whirled around, hand scrambling for a nonexistent sword.
"For the love of GOD!" Itachi exclaimed, slipping back into Japanese. The mirror simply huffed. "You're welcome." It said moodily. "The clothes are on the bed. Dumbledore said the instructions to get to Diagon Alley are in that envelope, which you haven't opened."
Itachi deactivated the Sharingan. He leered at the mirror suspiciously before snatching up the bundle of robes on his bed.
