Recap

"I-I'm sorry I apologize for my rudeness, I shouldn't have asked you something so personal." I disciplined my own self my shutting in embarrassment, why did I even say that? I bet he's gonna hit me for asking something so personal and not in even in my place to be said.

"Well I never-" he started to say but his sentence was cut short when a the door swung open without even a knock, there in the entrance stood an expressionless Itachi.

Forbidden

Chapter Six

"Haven't you heard of knocking dammit!" yelled Hidan who raised himself in a sitting position with an annoyed look on his face, but it didn't faze Itachi who just stood there staring at me.

"I'm here to retrieve the girl." Itachi told him but his eyes still resting on me. I decided to go ahead and get up any way, not wanting to be yelled at by Hidan after my inappropriate question. I made my way next to Itachi, feeling his eyes still on me.

He turned around once I was near and began making his way out the door with me following, but not before I turned back to now laid back Hidan one last time.

"Thanks for training me today H-Hidan, I appreciated it." I thanked him before walking off behind Itachi, not giving myself time to see his reaction but I hoped it was a good one. I followed Itachi down the hallway making sure to keep a little distance behind him, not really sure if he liked people close to him. He seemed like the person that didn't.

"If you don't mind me asking. What do you need me for?" I asked him after a moment of walking, he only ignored me as he continued to his destination like I hadn't said anything. I just decided to just keep quiet, not wanting to press on with the situation. Looking around at the walls I noticed we came to an unfamiliar hallway, one that barely had any doors like the other ones.

"Where are we going?" I said a little more nervous with my lack of knowledge of what was going on. I started to slow my pace when we turned down another familiar hallway, where was he taking? Finally deciding to stand my place, I stopped walking all together to which Itachi noticed and he turned to me.

"Come on, I don't have all day." Itachi said but I stood firmly in my place, refusing to move a muscle. I watched as Itachi turned his figure toward me, his eyes glaring fire at me.

"I-I'm not m-moving until you tell me whats going on." I tried to sound intimidating but with his eyes glaring at me like that I found it very difficult to do. Out of nowhere, a smirk formed onto his lips which only creeped me out more. Because the way he smirked reminded me of a snake.

"Oh little girl, you should really listen to people older than you. I mean, they do know best right. So why don't just stay quiet and follow me." his voice changing into a more slithery tone making me shutter on the inside. Oh no. I knew that voice.

"O-Orochimaru?" I stuttered with unknown fear in my voice, remembering this was the same guy who had big talking snakes for pets. I felt my feet starting to back away on their own, trying to create as much distance as I could before 'Itachi' could move. It was probably a justu like Hidan said where people could make a false person to fool someone. Well it certainly fooled me of course because I gazed in shock and horror as I watched pieces of 'Itachi's' body fade away until only the creepy snake guy stood their. Eyes averted on me with a certain look on his face. Desire.

"No need to be afraid child, I only want one thing. And that's your precious body." he smirked at me in his usual evil like tone, I continued to back away from him but I guess luck wasn't on my side when I lost my footing and I landed with a thud on the floor.

"W-why do you want m-my body?" I said trying to give me some time so I could think of an escape plan. I knew I was a bit far from Hidan's room and I knew that he would catch me before I reached there so I had to think of something else.

"Because your chakra is so powerful and you so young. If I took your body my chakra will mix with yours, making me even stronger and my life span will be even more long with your age. It was fate for us to be together, so why don't we get this over with so I could start my new powerful life." he said his tone scaring me more as I listened to his reason, coming to a last resort I did the one thing I'm used to doing so very often. I ran, and I ran fast.

"Get away from me!" I screamed, scrambling to my feet in one swift move and without a second thought I sprinted down the hallway, ignoring my sore muscles. I had to get away from him. This situation actually reminded me of all the other times I ran from somebody trying to kill but I never met someone who wanted my body that much. Not that much to take over it.

"Oh dear stupid child, you must know you can't run from me. I will have you." said the evil voice as Orochimaru himself appeared in front of me out of no where. Crap. Choosing to turn around, I dashed to my left onto another hallway but this time I headed for the doors but each one seemed to be lock. Just my luck.

Finally coming to an unlocked I opened and jumped inside, not daring to see how close that snake guy was before closing the door quickly behind me and lock it. I looked around the room trying to find out where I was, and to my shock. I found what seemed to be a dungeon room, I guess where they would hold intruders. There was shackles along the walls and I immediately recognized them as chakra chains which stole chakra from the person being shackled. I would know since I had them on before.

"Oh child, why don't you come out and talk to me." I heard the body shuttering voice say on the other side of the door making me look around quickly, trying to find something fight with. I looked at the shackles and an idea quickly formed into my head.

"Well if you're not gonna come out, then I'll just come in." and with that the door slammed open revealing a smirking creeper standing there on the other side.

"It's such a pity I have to kill you like this but you've left me no choice." he said in a fake pitiful voice only angering me a bit, I was not going to let him kill me a dungeon where I originally suppose to have died. I want to die fighting, I know I might not put up much of a fight but it would be nice to die trying.

"Well let's get this over, any last words my dear." he smirked with his hands reaching out towards me, I backed up a bit as I had trouble unlocked the shackles behind my back.

At last, I was able to get the shackles unlocked and without a second thought I latched them onto his wrist to which he immediately started pulling at them, not noticing what they were are first. I knew that the more you struggled the more chakra it took, and not even a minute later he was lying on the looking weak. Taking this to my advantage I dashed for the entrance, making sure to dodge his grabbing hands in the process.

"I'll get you, next day." his voice ghosted behind me, scaring me a bit more than I already was, but I decided to ignore it and continued my way down the hall without thinking. I memorized every turn I made until I suddenly came into a head and chest collision.

"Hey kid what's the hurry? You alright?" I heard the voice I was oh so happy to hear, I looked up happily at my savior and brother like friend Kisame. I immediately went behind his leg to check behind me, making sure Orochimaru wasn't planning to attack. Kisame of course took note of my sudden movements and scared look.

"What's wrong kid?" he asked me, picking me up into his arms as he watch my eyes never move from the spot intersecting the hallway. I fidgeted in my spot as my fear started to overtake me, his voice haunting my thoughts just like his pet did. Leaving me traumatized.

"Kid?" Kisame asked with a more stern tone in his voice that catched my attention for a short moment only for my eyes to go back to the hallway intersection. I swore I saw a shadow pass by when I looked back, but I was still to traumatized for me to think it was real. I soon found myself coming closer to the spot causing me to shake even more, I was trying to get away not get closer. Why couldn't I move back? But then I totally forgot that I was still in Kisame's arms so I had no say of how we moved but I just couldn't handle going in that direction.

"No. Don't go that way." I pleaded under my breath, tears suddenly arousing from my eyes without my command. I guess my real reaction was finally coming to me after the sudden attack. Kisame tightened his hold on me and I finally had the power to avert my eyes from the empty hallway and to his curious face.

"What happened? What did Hidan do!" Kisame said with anger starting to rise in his voice but I immediately shut down the thought with a slight shake of my head.

"O-Orochim-maru." I said weakly to busy choking on my sob to say his name clearly but I knew he understood me when his arm grip tightened even more around me, to the point I whimpered at the lose of blood circulation.

"What. Did. He. Do." Kisame growled under his voice making me shake at the new side of him, I brought my arms around his as I rested my head on his uncloaked shoulder instantly feeling my tears making a wet patch on it.

"He tried ... he tried to kill me ... so he could take my ... my body." I cried, my body shaking uncontrollably after the terrifying experience as my mind kept repeating every word and movement of what he did. I noticed Kisame was staying awfully quiet for my liking but I was to caught up in my sobs to see why until all of a sudden we started moving again.

"I want you to tell me everything that happened." Kisame demanded me as we made our way away from the hallway and down another, relief filling me over as we got away from that creep. Though I wasn't sure if I was stable enough to tell Kisame what happened, but I knew I could trust him to protect me. So I spilt every last detail of what happened as we made our way down a few somewhat familiar hallways.


"I can't believe he would pull a stunt like that. How desperate is this fucker." Kisame growled to his partner Itachi as we came to his bedroom door out of all places, Kisame told me to repeat the story once I had calmed down a bit so I was able to actually talk. Leading to where we were now.

"Sorry." Kisame apologized I guess for his foul word he just said but I just shook it off as I took a seat, more like climbed, in the chair at Itachi's desk as Itachi sat casually on his bed. His Akatsuki cloak laying next to him leaving him in his black shinobi wear.

"I don't know why he would pull this stunt so soon. When I first arrived here, it was about a week before he attacked me." Itachi said with his eyes averting over to me in observation over my lightly shaking body, I kept my head down and deciding on watching my thumbs wrestle instead to keep myself calm.

"You left Orochimaru in the prison room, right?" Itachi asked me making me snap my head up in alert at the sound of his name but I quickly nodded, realizing it was just a question.

"We have to report this to Leader, this is his second attempt at this." Itachi told him after a moment of silence due to the fact that I didn't know what to say exactly so I decided to just stay quiet. Trying to see what conclusion they came up with. Whatever made that monster stay away from me.

"Alright, me and you can stop by his office tonight when he isn't busy." Kisame told him in agreement before he made his way over to me, picking me back up in one swift move. I didn't know why Kisame enjoyed picking me up when I was capable of walking but I didn't complain since I liked being carried by him. I felt safe for some reason.

"Let's go get you some food in the mean while, kid. When's the last time you eaten anyway?" Kisame chuckled at the sound of my tummy rumbling when the food subject came up, I whimpered in response finally noticing how hungry I was until now. Well after a hectic with all these people wanting to kill me, I guess you could forget a few things.

"What do you wanna eat? I'm sure not breakfast since it's in the middle of the afternoon." I heard Kisame say and I noticed that we had made it into the kitchen before I even noticed. Kisame had set me down on the aisle counter before he began roaming through the cabinets to find something edible for me to eat. I didn't feel like macaroni for some reason, I was craving something different this time.

"Do you have ramen?" I asked quietly, feeling as if I was asking for too much. With a smirk forming on Kisame's face, he opened a specific cabinet and pulled out a pack of ramen soon after before getting out the cooking supplies.

"I guess you like ramen huh?" Kisame chuckled deeply, stirring the pasta contents so they didn't stick before turning around towards me. I simply nodded my head not feeling up for a conversation at the moment, not after what happened.

"I like fish, especially the spicy ones. It taste nice with sticks next to it." he said trying to lighten the mood with a rather unamusing joke, it did get a soft smile from me but it quickly went away in a matter of seconds. I just couldn't stop thinking about what Orochimaru said, why did he want my body so bad. What was so special about me, I am wanted by the majority of every village. That's one, but not a good one.

"Hey Kisame ... do you think Orochimaru will try to kill me again after you tell on him?" I asked feeling my nerves heighten up at his tense form as he turned off the stove in a quick motion, his hands now leaning on the counter with a tight grip.

"I hope not, he already did it once. Twice counting now and I'm sure he doesn't want to do it a third time unless he wants to get kicked out the Akatsuki." he assured while walking over to me, before placing his large hand on to of my head. Shuffling my hair into a more wildly fashion than before. I felt my insides warm up with a certain feeling I haven't felt before, it felt familiar though. Very familiar.

"Thanks Kisame ... for everything." I thanked him after a moment of silence, the only thing being heard is the boiling water on the stove. He patted my head in return with a short chuckle erupting from his voice.
