Chapter 2
Kagemi's POV
It was about midday and the sun was bright. I was walking through the woods, leaving the Otaku Village. I was full and happy. I rubbed Kagura between the ears. She was my servant. She was a white haired crystal blue eyed wolf demon. She had many abilities one of them being that she could shift sizes. Her height right now was 7 feet tall. She was a well built, muscular wolf. She has also been my best friend since the beginning of time. Literally.
We were just walking until we came to a Great Oak tree. It was gorgeous. I sat on one of its giant roots that had grown above the surface. Just then a strange wind blew through the trees. Leaves started falling like rain. I caught one and gripped it in my hand. Kagura whinned and disappeared into the trees. " a great change is coming…. I don't know how close the change is though…" I mumbled to myself. I dismissed the thought from my mind. I had many talents and abilities when it came to music and instruments, and my two favorite instruments were the violin and cello, but the instrument I wished to play now was simply, the leaf. I put the leaf I had in my hand to my mouth and blew. I began playing a melody that I learned a long time ago.
Itachi's POV
We were walking in the direction that leader had given us. " OH MAN! This sucks! We haven't had any leads yet and she could be miles away by now!" yelled Kisame. I gave him a glare that said 'shutup'. He immediately closed his mouth. We walked a few more minutes when all of a sudden I heard a tune that I had never heard before. I looked at kisame to see if he heard it but obviously he didn't. I focused my sharringan towards the direction I heard the sounds from and saw a massive amount of chakra that was about 600 meters away. "kisame, I think I found our girl." I said. he looked at me. " where is she?" he asked. I explained the plan.
After I explained the plan we got into position. Kisame was facing her about 100 meters away, and I was 150 meters away from behind her. I didn't get a look at her face, but somehow I knew it was the girl we were looking for. I climbed onto a tree branch, watched and listened to the song she was playing. It was mysterious and dark, but it was soothing. I waited for Kisame to make his move, which should be anytime now.
Kagemi's POV
I noticed that someone was near, I kept playing the song until I dodged a swing of a sword. I kept playing my song with my eyes closed, never even getting a glance at my opponent. The enemy kept up their swinging and I dodged every one of them with ease. "DAMN IT! WHY CANT I HIT HER!" the man yelled. That's when I sensed another person behind me and I dodged a kunai from the sound it made as it hit the tree behind me. I quickly knocked out the first opponent with a kick to the head as my song came to an end. I turned and opened my eyes. A strong wind blew my silvery hair around. In front of me stood a man with the sharringan. I watched his eyes widen. I saw him blush. My eyes missed nothing. He was handsome, even with a cloak hiding his face. I could tell he was powerful. "hello. Is there a reason you two are attacking me?" I asked.
Itachi's POV
As the girl turned around I saw just how gorgeous she really was. She had long silvery white hair that came to her knees. Her eyes were a deep mysterious violet that demanded anyone's attention. She wore I tight mid-thigh length kimono. It was a dark shade of purple. The part of the kimono that was supposed to go around her shoulders weren't there. It showed her pale creamy skin. Where her breasts started from her chest, on the sides, the sleeves that went past her hands, were attached to the torso part of the kimono by a few silver silk threads. Her kimono had silver roses on it. her hair held a violet-indigo rose. My eyes widened for a moment. I think I blushed a little Then she asked " hello. Is there a reason you two are attacking me?" I put my emotionless mask back on and said " is your name Kagemi Higorashi?" I asked. Realizing that I was secretly hoping she said yes. She eyed me for a minute. " yes I am." She stated. She stared at me, almost as if in wonder. I stared back. " then im going to have to ask you to come with me." I said bluntly. She cocked her head to the side a smirk forming on her soft lips. " alright." She said. she turned around and went to the tree where my kunai had pierced the tree. She stood 3 feet away and held out her hand, not touching anything but air. Then I saw the kunai wiggle and come out of the tree trunk smoothy. She took the kunai in one hand, while with the other she placed her hand over the hole and I saw her strange chakra, which was the colors black and violet, flow into the tree, healing the tree. She whipped around and sent the kunai zipping past my head, hitting the rock behind me. I didn't think she touched me, but then I felt a tickling sensation on my ear. I raised my hand to examine the wound and brought my hand in front of my face to see some blood on my fingers. How did she do that? I didn't even sense pain. all I could feel was it flying past my head. I thought. " simple. I have great aim." She said smiling evilly, as if reading my thoughts. Then I saw her bend over and tap Kisame on the forhead and rose up and walked towards me. she looked at me, raising her eyebrows. " what?" I asked. " aren't we going?" she asked. " what about him?" I asked. " he will be fine. He'll catch up with us later. We need to be going. Rain is coming." She said. I looked back at kisame. " alright, lets go." I said as we jumped into the forest. " kisame will enjoy the rain anyway." She stated. I rolled my eyes mentally. Of course she knew his name. it surprised me, but I didn't let it show.
We had been running in the forest for about a minute and a half when clouds accumulated and a downpour occurred. We ran for another 30 seconds when Kagemi just stopped. I stopped too and turned around. I saw her hair drenched as her violet eyes were staring up into the dark grey sky. " I didn't realize this was the change…." She murmured. " what do you mean?" I asked, confused. She blinked, as if remembering where she was and then said " nevermind." " well we need to get going, its raining pretty hard." I said underneath the tree. Its branches and leaves didn't help much. " and plus we cant have you catch a cold." I said. she just stared at me. then her eyebrows pinched together. " what is it?" I asked. "i…I don't want to walk…." She said, looking down. Then it was my turn for my eyes to pinch together. Then I sighed and walked over to her and bent down. " climb on." I said, looking over my shoulder at her. She smiled and climbed on. she placed her arms around my neck, snuggled into my back and whispered " thank you." She said. " your welcome." I replied, giving a slight blush. She seemed tired.
Kagemi's POV
I climbed onto the man's back. " thank you." I whispered. " your welcome." He replied. I saw him blush a bit. " What is your name?" I asked. " Itachi Uchiha." He said. " An Uchiha…" I whispered.
We ran for a few minutes. Then I spoke up. " you should know…" I started. " know what?" he asked quietly. I took a breath. " you should know that I wont judge you." I whispered. " judge me for what?" he asked. " I wont judge you for what you have done to your village." I said quietly. He didn't reply. I decided to leave it at that.
We ran for another 30 minutes before I sighed. " what?" he asked. " where are we going?" I asked. " why don't you just read my thoughts and find out?" he asked. " because I don't like to do that unless its necessary. Its ruins the thrill." I said hugging him tighter without realizing it. he smirked at this. " what?" I asked. " nothing…" he mumbled. He started slowing down until he was just walking. " where are we?" I asked. I climbed off and followed him through some trees until we came to a building. I Iooked at the sign. It read KOHATA HOTSPRING. " we don't need to catch a cold, so I figured we could come here for the night." Said itachi, as we quickly walked through the rain into the building. We went inside and went to the reception desk. There stood a women and a man. The woman looked up to see me. I was drenched. Then she looked up to see itachi. Her face turned completely red. My eyes narrowed. Then I saw the man look at me. he turned into a deep blush also. At this I smirked.
Itachi's POV
We walked up to the front desk and I saw the man look at Kagemi and blush. I also saw the woman looking at me too. " we need a two bed room." I said. the girl stared for a second until the guy nudged her and she scoped through the computer. " im sorry. Were completely full except for master suite with a king sized bed." She said. " that will be fine. And here is a list of things we need to be sent to our rooms" I said, handing her a piece of paper. I saw the woman continue blushing while staring at me until she looked down and then her face drained of color. I followed her gaze to see Kagemi glaring at her. I wondered…did she feel protective of me? I looked back to see the man. He almost…he looked like he was undressing her with his eyes. I shot him a deathly glare. He seemed to get this glare and just stared at his feet. Then I wondered. was I protective of her also?
We got to our room, which was on the top floor, and went inside. Kagemi went over to the bar and poured drinks. She brought me one of my favorites. Whiskey. " here." She said. I didn't take it. " you know the point of relaxing at a hot spring is to go to the hot spring and relax the natural way, not getting drunk." I spoke. She closed her eyes. " I guess your right." She said and then shattered the glass in her hand. I shot up " are you ok?" I asked removing the glass from her hand. " im fine." She said. I stopped looking at her hand. It was healed. " how did you do that?" I asked. " forget it." she said. I sighed, knowing she wasn't planning on telling me anytime soon, and grabbed some clothes from a bag that the hotel had supplied since we didn't bring any. I also got Kagemi a bag. I pulled a change of clothes and walked out the door, leaving Kagemi there.
