A: Been reading your reviews ^^ I really appreciate you guys telling what I should work on :3 anyways, chapter 3, really short DX If only I could make it longer… Please review :D
Trees swayed and leaves rustled as the calm wind blew through the forest. The soft light of the late afternoon shimmered through the dancing leaves nice and easily, barely touching the ground. The day was almost perfect for Itachi and Kisame who were ordered by the leader, along with the other members, to locate themselves and find a nearby village if there were any.
Kisame walked beside his partner. The former Kiri-nin had been wondering about many things lately. They left a light trail of footprints on the dirt road they've been walking on. Kisame remembered the last things he thought about when he was still "alive." "You do not know what kind of human you are until the very end. One realizes their true nature at the moment of death. That's the way to view death." Coming back to reality, Kisame smiled and thought to himself. I guess you were right after all, Itachi-san. And as if on queue, Itachi suddenly stopped and turned to Kisame with an activated sharingan. Before Kisame could even think, Itachi threw a kunai at him. Something shrieked as the kunai passed Kisame's head.(no it wasn't Kisame) The Kiri-nin stared at Itachi with surprise before he turned to look at what his partner caught.
"Is this what they were talking about?" Itachi asked, deactivating his Sharingan. The two approached a black shadowy creature which seemed to be squirming in agonizing pain caused by the kunai stuck to it's forehead. It gave off one final screech before turning into ashes.
What was that all about? Kisame stared at the ashes. Itachi walked towards it and bent down the ashes, just as he was about to pick up his kunai, something suddenly came out of the bushes in front of him. It was too late to dodge. The enemy was too fast. All he could do was defend himself with his arms. Itachi slightly flinched in pain as the enemy bit his right arm hard. He was slightly surprised, this thing's fast. Through all his years, he's never been caught like this. Moreover, how could he have not sensed it coming? Upon sight, Kisame performed eleven hand seals "Suiton: Amesuikōha" he slammed his palm onto the ground. Itachi struggled to break from the creature's hold when suddenly, a water shark attacked it. Itachi managed to break free as the enemy turned to ash like what happened to the other one. He dashed towards Kisame, tightly gripping his bleeding arm. Five more appeared, circling the two like sharks. "The irony" Kisame chuckled. Itachi reactivated his Sharingan. They both looked at the surrounding enemies, shifting their eyes from one creature to another. Itachi drew out another kunai with his left hand. "This is going to be fun." Kisame looked at Itachi. "Don't you think so, Itachi-san?" He smirked. Itachi gave him a nod before finally attacking. Kisame handled 3 while Itachi handled two.
Kisame, without Samehada, had to fight with only his jutsus and brute strength. He jumped from one place to another as his enemies attacked consecutively. He punched their vulnerable spots and threw them to a tree. Itachi swayed from side to side as he dodged his enemy's attacks. None of them were winning, nor loosing. Both sides were too fast for each other. Not one of them laid a single hand. The battle came to no end. The enemies would just keep coming back once their down. Itachi and Kisame stopped fighting and stood side by side.
"Stubborn, are they." Itachi flinched, holding his still bleeding arm.
"You alr-" Kisame was cut off when their enemies suddenly started screeching.
They vanished in a blink of an eye. Kisame and Itachi heard something fall as the last one disappeared. They took a closer look and found a white scroll locked by a blue gemstone with gold lining. They nodded at each other before Itachi cautiously picked it up. They were about to open it when suddenly…
"STOP!" someone yelled. The two stared at the rustling bushes behind them. A girl appeared. She wore a black cloak that completely covered her body. Only the bottom half of her face was visible to the two because of her hood.
"That scroll isn't yours you know." She smiled, raising her right arm, holding a scroll exactly like the one Itachi held. Itachi blinked in surprised when he noticed that the scroll he was holding was gone.
"Those monsters attacked me three days ago." She looked at the scroll." They managed to steal this scroll from me. I've been after them ever since." She looked at the two. "If it weren't for you guys, I'd still be tracking them by now. Or worse…" Kisame tried to say something but strangely, he couldn't. He realizes and tries to look at Itachi but with no avail. Itachi couldn't move either. "Whats going on?" they both thought. The girl smiled and then bowed.
"You have my sincerest gratitude." She said before turning back. Kisame and Itachi still couldn't move. Soon, the place was filled with nothing but silence. Only the sound of her footsteps can be heard as she walked away. They watched her cautiously. Just as she was about to disappear into the bushes, she stopped. "I almost forgot…" She turned with a smile, slightly revealing her blue eyes and a couple strands of her golden hair." There's a village not so far from where you're staying. Just follow the river if you wanna get there." She looked back at where she was heading and continued walking. "Just make sure that anyone who goes there with company gets along with each other, Itachi-san. " The raven's eyes slightly widened upon hearing the girl say his name. The two watched as the girl disappeared.
"Itachi…"
"I know…" Itachi held his arm, completely healed.
"But how…" Pein denied, he approached the cliff, looking into the horizon. Konan stood beside him.
"Are you sure you were able to hit it on your first try?" Pein continued, slightly turning his head.
"Hai." Itachi calmly spoke.
"And the girl?" Pein closed his eyes, hoping for a good reply.
"We tried to follow her with our clones, but it was futile. She completely vanished right after we lost track of her.
"I see." He turned. "The two of you are dismissed." Kisame and Itachi gave a small nod before dashing away.
"Zetsu…" Pein called. Something popped out of the ground.
"Go find her."
"Hai." Zetsu closed and left where he came from.
"Pein…" Konan spoke worriedly as Pein walked past her.
"If she knows where we are and who we are, then she must know what's going." He responded.
Konan sighed and went after her partner.
