A/N: I just corrected some typographical errors... And that one thing about Mizuki's bloodline; Instead of being able to read minds, whenever her bloodline is activated, she hears every thought in the heads of those around her... How different is that, you ask? Well, she won't have control over that power and don't you think it would be annoying to hear random thoughts of just passers-by in your head...
You ask why I'm doing this? Why now? Well, I've been said that Mizuki is close (if not already) Mary-Sue... So if you have any suggestions how I can save my character from Mary-Sue-ness...
.:Beyond What My Eyes Can See:.
Chapter 3- Mission Accomplished
They were here for me; I just knew it. Why else would Itachi dare show himself to me? But this time, considering that he had captured Akane instead of me, my death wasn't what they came for. So, what did they want from me this time?
"Let go of her now!" I said, giving Itachi a look of utter hate; I could not bring myself to say his name for it caused me to reminisce or painful past.
"Shut up!" the shark-faced guy behind me ordered forcefully, moving his sword closer to my neck. "If you want to live, you'll leave us alone. We need Syrrine." He added threateningly.
"Her name is Utama Akane and she has nothing to do with what you're looking for." I told him, expressionless.
"Don't try to fool us, you idiot!" he retorted, disbelieving.
"She's not lying, Kisame." Itachi interrupted blankly.
"What?" the shark-faced person known as Kisame, inquired.
My lips curved into a small smirk; once again, I was mistaken for a weak and useless girl, which I was most certainly not. Even Akane looked stronger than me! I closed my eyes, giving Senji the order not to interfere then I activated the Eyes of Chaos, if Itachi wouldn't let go of her, I would make him do it instead.
"Well then, if she's what we came for, let's take her and go!" Kisame suggested quite arrogantly.
"Do you really think it's going to be that easy?" I retorted somewhat annoyed; he was underestimating me.
At that moment, after those words were said, I disappeared, or at least that's what it seemed like but it wasn't what really did happen. In reality, I just used a quick paralyzing jutsu on Kisame using my doujutsu thus giving time the chance to slip away from his clutches. I did all those at my full speed therefore seeming like I had dispersed into nothing. By the time, his body regained the ability to move, I was already right in front of him, his wrist tight within my grasp.
"Who's the idiot now?" I muttered and using the special power of my bloodline to hear, possess, control, torture and fool one's mind, I made him think that Itachi was a very sexy, naked girl, who wanted to 'play' with him.
'Ugh...I cannot maintain my Eyes of Chaos for much longer but I must; it's for Akane!' I thought as I almost lost control over my bloodline.
I felt my burning fever gradually return to me and it became worse than ever before. I would have a hard time beating him this time around bearing in mind my awful condition but that didn't stop me from saving my best friend.
I simply watched with slight amusement as Itachi attempted to keep Kisame away from his 'sexy' self. He was still as skillful as before and possibly even better. Well, he's not the only one who's gotten stronger; if it wasn't for the poison, I could've easily beaten him without any problem but with Akane and my slight weakness to his advantage, I might be forced to do something I would regret in the near future.
"Let go of her now, Itachi!" I finally told him after he knocked Kisame out.
I closed my eyes and deactivated the Eyes of Chaos, after discovering that continuous use of it would worsen the ill situation even further. I tried to think of something that would actually work against Itachi's Sharingan; using genjutsu would be useless without my Eyes of Chaos to render his doujutsu ineffective; and using ninjutsu could work but he might use Akane against me, which I could not afford happening. My chakra was low because of the poison that seemed to use it all up and my speed was the only asset I could possibly use in this fight. So, taijutsu (hand to hand combat) was my only hope.
I stood into my fighting stance and soon after, I attacked the Uchiha. I was slightly annoyed; I barely hit him especially when I saw the fear in Akane's eyes. I also found it hard to hurt him but I didn't know why. I finally had a chance to kill him but why was I still holding back? Could it be possible that I still had a soft spot for him? I just hope not.
'So, this is the infamous Uchiha Itachi; it's no wonder Mizuki-chan fell for him, he's gorgeous! What's more, he's an awesome fighter but what's he doing to Mizuki? I know she's better than this! She had been waiting for this day; the day she kills the one who tried to end her life, she can't be worried about my sake, can she?' Akane thought anxiously.
Without warning, my eyesight dimmed and I lost my concentration, proving to be a good chance for Itachi to go into offense. He hit me directly unto my stomach, sending me flying toward the ground.
"MIZUKI-CHAN!" Akane yelled, struggling to break free from Itachi's arms but to no avail; his grip was much to strong.
Her voice enabled me to fight off the darkness consuming me giving me the chance to catch myself from falling. The austere necklace from three years ago shined in the sun as I back flipped myself back up. I pulled myself together; ignoring the surprised stare Itachi was giving me.
'She still has that necklace?' Itachi thought, getting quite distracted.
I noticed this and took it as an opportunity to charge back at him, getting my revenge as my fist made an impact upon his handsome face. But I knew that it wasn't the end; actually, the real battle had just begun.
(Kakashi's POV)
"Where are we going, Kakashi-sensei?" Haruno Sakura, a girl with light pink hair and green eyes asked me, curious.
"We're going to look for someone in the Hidden Flame Village." I answered calmly.
"Who're you looking for? Is this a mission?" Uzumaki Naruto, a blonde-haired genin with blue eyes questioned.
"This is not a mission but I need to see a girl named Aizawa Mizuki; it's her birthday today." I responded blankly.
'Is she Kakashi-sensei's girl friend?' both Naruto and Sakura thought.
"How old is she now?" Naruto inquired with utmost curiosity.
"As a matter of fact, she's only sixteen (16)." I simply answered.
"How do you know her sensei?" a very curious Sakura asked.
"I was once one of the Anbus that protected her." I said in response to her query.
"Who is she? Why would someone need all that protection?" Sakura stated. "She must be pretty weak." She added, confidently.
"On the contrary, she's even more powerful than you three (3) combined." I explained, remembering how talented Mizuki was even as a child.
"What?" the last member of Genin Team 7 (seven), Uchiha Sasuke; a boy with bluish black hair and deep black eyes suddenly reacted. "If she's so strong, why did she need protection?" he continued in complete disbelief.
"It's because she's the Aizawa clan's princess and during the peace signing between Konoha and her village, her safety was at high priority." I clarified, not wanting them to underestimate Mizuki's capabilities.
"Then why did you have to take us along with you?" Sasuke asked somewhat expressionless yet somewhat annoyed.
"Yeah! Sasuke's right! Why did you have to bring us too?" Sakura agreed, as always everything Sasuke suggests was true or correct.
"It's really none of your business, Sasuke-teme!" Naruto opposed, unlike Sakura, he always wanted Sasuke to be wrong.
"I have put in consideration that Mizuki can teach you guys something." I stated trying to avoid further conflicts between the three (3) genins.
"If she's a princess, how can she be stronger than us?" Sasuke asked still quite doubtful.
"She has a very special gift although she personally calls it a curse." I said, not wanting to elaborate more on the subject.
"What kind of gift?" Sakura questioned.
"She is the possessor of the Crest of Syrrine." I answered, straight to the point.
"What's that?" Naruto asked, clueless.
"You idiot! The Crest of Syrrine contains one of the 5 powerful elemental beasts!" Sakura stated, wanting to impress Sasuke with her vast knowledge.
"That's correct, Sakura. Out of those five beasts, Syrrine is said to be the strongest since living inside of it is both the element of light and darkness." I said.
"But, Kakashi-sensei, isn't the possessor supposed to be a guy?" Sakura asked inquired curiously.
"Yes, Mizuki's quite a special exception." I said in response to her inquiry. "For centuries, the possessors have all been part of the male population but for some strange reason, a girl was chosen." I continued, explaining well my point.
"What you're saying is that she didn't need the protection, the Crest did, right?" Sasuke concluded calmly.
(Back to Mizuki's (My) POV)
I sadly admit that I am not doing very well with my so-called 'revenge' against Itachi; on the contrary, I was getting my own butt kicked! With the poison running through my veins and Akane in his hands I never really stood a chance in the first place.
I took deep breaths, feeling extremely tired and sick as a matter of fact. No matter how much Akane wanted to help me, she was pretty helpless herself. I wished to save her so badly; she was always there for me and I wanted so much to return that favor.
Just then, I felt a quite familiar presence. Within a few moments I recognized him; it was none other than Hatake Kakashi, one of my former protectors. But what was he doing here? I gave him a questioning look, which he chose to ignore. I sighed, knowing he wanted an explanation as to why I was fighting Itachi.
"I'll kill you, you b'stard!" a young boy who sort of resembled Itachi quite well yelled, furious as he ran towards him in an attack.
"No! Stop! He still has Akane with him!" I interrupted causing this boy to halt his attack and look at me quizzically.
Then I noticed for the first time that this 'little version' of Itachi was with Kakashi as well as two more young genins; they were undoubtedly Kakashi's students. One of them caught my eyes the enraged one obviously hated Itachi as much as I did, however, I couldn't let him launch that attack for Akane might get hurt as well. This whole scenario seemed to distract Itachi slightly and I grabbed the risky opportunity to attack, which he countered by means of throwing Akane to me, leaving me no choice but to catch her. I caught her bridal style but the force had shaken my already dizzy brain, confusing me slightly.
Akane realized this and quickly grabbed smoke bombs. She made them explode right where we were before changing myself into her (henge no jutsu transforming technique) and vice versa. I felt as though my head and everything around me was spinning so I could not complain with my transformation, not that it was a bad idea but it was useless against Itachi's Sharingan. The fumes blinded everyone and as soon as most of it cleared out, Itachi swiftly grabbed who seemed to be Akane but was actually me.
"Come back with Mizuki-chan! I haven't cured the poison yet! Itachi...Wait!" I heard Akane yell gradually growing weak, almost a whisper as Itachi took me away.
Before completely blacking out, I heard a silent whisper from my handsome capturer, "Happy Birthday..." and then total darkness.
