Thanks for the three alerts ^^
Two men in black cloaks with red clouds stood by a riverbank. Once of the men, a raven haired man known by the name Itachi Uchiha, watched as his partner, a blue skinned man that resembled a shark named Kisame Hoshigaki, collect fish. Kisame was using his water sharks to throw the fish they caught into a basket near the edge of the river.
"Kisame, twenty fish will be enough. We need no more than two a piece at most." Itachi calmly said. Kisame, undoing his jutsu so his sharks would return to normal, turned around to grin and nod at the younger man in agreement.
"You know, it's starting to get a bit annoying to eat fish everyday. I'm not complaining, but it would be nice to eat stuff outside fruit, vegetables and fish once in a while." Kisame commented as he picked up the basket of fish. Itachi looked as if he was going to ignore his partner as he turned his back on the water user, until he spoke up.
"There aren't many places we can go where people wont know who we are. Even if we leave our cloaks behind someone would surely recognize our faces. Knowledge of us seems to have gotten worse since our visit to Konohagakure two years ago." The Uchiha reminded the blue ninja. Kisame chuckled darkly and showed off his oddly sharp, shark like teeth, as he looked at the younger man.
"Ah, but that's what makes it fun. It gives me a reason to kill if someone wants to start a fight." The mist ninja laughed cruelly. As he laughed Itachi noticed that one of the still alive fish flopped out of the basket.
"Kisame, one fell." The fire user pointed out calmly. To this the shark like ninja grunted.
"Can't you pick it up? My hands are full." He asked, even though he was more than capable to bend down and pick up the live fish. Itachi didn't bother to point out that fact as he bend down to pick up the fish before it could make it back into the water.
However, the man never even got a chance to stroke the fish with his finger tips. The moment Itachi bent to pick up the fish a strange, small cloud of wind surrounded it. The wind proved to be surprisingly strong as it lifted the fish from the ground and carried it to the other side of the riverbed.
"What the hell is this?" Kisame asked as he noticed the fish floating across the river, Itachi thinking the same thing minus the swear. Both ninjas got their answer as the fish soon landed in the hands of a young girl.
"Huh? What's a little girl doing here?" Kisame asked but never gave Itachi a chance to answer. "Hey, little girl! It's not nice to steal from others, give the fish back." He called out with a wide, mean grin on his face. Kisame had no shame in who he killed and, if this girl wouldn't listen, there would be one less kid running around in the forest.
Chika Kotone was hungry, very hungry. So, when she spied two men fishing, she couldn't help but stay and watch them. With some luck one fish would attempt to escape and the young child could get something good to eat. Chika could remember her mother once telling her that stealing from strangers was a bad idea but, when struggling to survive, what else could she do? With all the experiments done to her, growing food wasn't one of them.
To her luck, one of the fish flopped out of the basket like she had hoped. Using her power over wind, one of the powers she developed in the experiments, she made it pick up the fish before the raven haired man could. Chika ignored the fact that both men watched as she controlled the wind to bring her the fish, allowing it to drop in her hands. When the child heard the scary blue man yell at her, she turned around and ran back the way she had come.
"Heh, well, if you want to do it the hard way, so be it." Kisame said darkly, dropping the fish as he pulled out a dagger and threw it her way. If it wasn't for the fact that a river divided the two Akatsuki members and the child, the mist ninja would have used Samehada.
With a small, frightened scream, the young child jumped behind a tree to dodge the dagger and kept on running. Kisame, narrowing his eyes in both annoyance and glee, ran after the kid. He didn't care how old the kid was or the reason to why she stole form him. No one messed with him and got away with it alive. After all he was more than willing to cut off Naruto's arm and legs two years. The boy was only twelve so why not go one step farther?
"Kisame, stop!" Itachi called out and his eyes widened slightly when the mist ninja ignored him. Never before had the older man ignored him; the mist ninja always listened to Itachi when he was told something so why did he now ignore him for a simple fish?
Finding no other choice, Itachi took after Kisame in a run. He had to get to his partner before the shark like man could harm the little girl. Not because he was still secretly good but because he had seen something with his Sharingan he thought Kisame should know about. There was something really odd about the child's chakra. In fact, Itachi couldn't see any chakra vains in her body at all. What the Uchiha saw was a milk white glow coming from her bloodstream and muscles. Itachi could sense the power as if it was chakra but, whatever it was, it was powerful.
Chika continued to run, using the power forced onto her to make her run faster than any normal child her age. She could hear the blue skin man following behind and it frightened her. She knew stealing could be very dangerous but this was the last thing the girl thought would happen for stealing a fish. Now the man was chasing her down and trying to kill her.
The six year old girl didn't mean to make the man angry but she was hungry and needed the food. In the last five days of living with the wolves, Chika went without food most of the time. The young child lived with six wolves, all of which shared any food that was brought into the cave. When the girl got food to herself, it was normally a small rabbit, bird and once even a rat. With her fire powers, Chika was able to cook the animals but it still wasn't a lot of food for someone like her. That was the whole reason she stole the fish in the first place.
Feeling something sharp zoom by her face, Chika gasped and nearly dropped the fish. Quickly running past a tree, the girl saw that a dagger was sticking in it. Realizing what happened, the Chika touched her face with one hand, while the other gripped the fish, when she felt something wet dripping down it. Without even slowing a little, the young child pulled her hand away to see blood on it.
"Please stop it! Leave me alone!" She screamed at the man that continued to run after her. She had no idea if the more normal looking man was following her since she couldn't hear or sense him nor did she have the bravery to look back.
"Come on, little girl, surrender the fish and I might let you live." The man called back mockingly. Whimpering, the girl knew no matter what she did now, he was going to kill her.
So, keeping her eyes on the scene in front of her, Chika threw her bloody hand that wasn't holding the fish behind her. Without much warning, a wave of fire suddenly rushed towards the man. The child could feel the heat lick her hand but it did not burn as she continued to run. She was trying to rush back to the cave since, she believed it was the one place she's be safe; even if the man followed, the wolves would protect her.
As the girl's fire rush towards Kisame, the mist ninja swore to himself before creating some hand seals. In seconds he summoned a wall of water that evaporated the fire. Although, at the same time, caused a screen of steam. Not being able to help himself, Kisame lowered his hands and chuckled darkly, showing off his sharp teeth again.
"For someone so young to send that kind of fire wave at me and as well as to have such speed..." he trailed off to laugh again. "She's powerful. This might be more fun than I thought." He said darkly before taking off after the girl again.
Even if he wouldn't show it on the outside, Itachi was starting to get really concerned and annoyed. All of this was happening simply because of one fish. Now his partner's love of fighting had gotten the best of him and Kisame had stopped listening to him to try to kill a little girl. Itachi knew most of the Akatsuki members either fought or killed for fun, and some did both, but a reason like this was quite immature and stupid in his book.
As he started to catch up to his partner and the little girl, Itachi was able to witness the fire attack she used on Kisame. That greatly impressed him. It wasn't very often that Itachi came across a ninja outside the Uchiha clan that could use fire jutsus. However this wasn't a ninja but a young child, so that was even more impressive. Yet, what interested the Uchiha was the fact that, with his Sharingan, he saw the milk white glow collect in her hand and grow more of a darker color. Itachi then knew the power could not be chakra since he knew, to activate element jutsus, a person had to make hand sings; this girl had made none. That made him remember the wind that helped the girl steal the fish in the first place.
'Quite interesting. She has good control over wind and fire as well as good speed at such a young age. She never made hand seals for the fire attack ether. I wonder; just who is this girl?' Itachi thought to himself as he continued to chase down Kisame. It looked like his partner was impressed too but, knowing him, Kisame would still try to harm the child.
"There is nowhere you can hide, girl! It's time to become a good little girl and accept your fate." The mist ninja called out and laughed as he began to catch up to the young thief. He saw her take sharp right turn which only made him snickered as he continued to follow.
'I got to get back to the cave! I got to get to Keoko and Michiko!' Chika thought of the two wolves that had originally brought her to the cave and taken her in. She knew that they'd protect her from the mean man chasing her.
Feeling herself starting to run out of energy, the child began to gasp for air. Her throat was becoming dryer and the more she ran, the harder it was to breath. So, knowing that she needed to make it back to the cave before she got too tired, Chika used her wind power to push against her back, helping her run even faster than her sore legs would allow her. Thankfully, the extra push was all she needed to reach the cave. Just to feel safe, though, Chika ran to the far end and put dropped the now dead fish on the ground. Yet, just because she was inside the cave, that did not stop the man from following.
Kisame came to a full stop at the entrance of the cave and glanced around, snickering evilly. The young girl had just trapped herself with him; there was no escape for her now. Continuing to laugh evilly, the mist ninja walked in and spotted the girl huddled in a corner of the cave.
"There is no way out for you now, kid. If you give up now, I just might go easy on you." he laughed cruelly and grinned sharply as he got closer and closer to the child. The girl could only whimpered before two, snarling wolves jumped protectively in front of her.
"Keoko, Michiko!" Chika gasped out their names, relieved that they were there to protect her. The tall, blue man stopped short to blink at the two wolves.
"Hmm, so you have some pets, do you? Oh well, that's not much of a problem." he smiled evilly and reached for a handle that was showing behind his left shoulder.
Itachi reached the cave the exact moment he heard a child's scream. He quickly entered to see two dead and bloody wolves laying on the cave floor. Kisame was holding Samehada in his hand so it was easy to tell what had happened. The fire ninja noticed that the mist ninja was staring ahead with surprise on his face. So, glancing over to see what was wrong, Itachi soon realized why Kisame looked the way he did.
The young child was screaming loudly, her head tilted upwards and a wild, white light coated around her body. The white glow was blowing wildly as if caught in a wind but the two Akatsuki members knew that wasn't wind. It was the power of her chakra; if it was chakra. Itachi still had doubts about that.
Chika had been terrified when she witnessed the cloaked man kill the two wolves that had given her a new home. While terrified she could only be glad that the four other wolves were still out hunting. If they were here it would have been safe to say, this man would have killed them as easily as he had killed Keoko and Michiko. Still, seeing two creatures that showed her love being killed, Chika lost control over her power and now it danced around her body. She screamed loudly in pained angry.
"Little girl." A new voice called out, seemingly gentler than the blue, shark like man that killed the wolves. Chika lowered her head to see the raven haired man from the river.
'So he did follow us after all.' She thought and glared into his eyes to tell him she was not afraid of him. Normally she would have been terrified out of her wits but right now she was just too mad to feel any fear.
However. the young child's glare soon softened and her eyes grew heavy. Itachi continued to stare into her eyes with his Sharingan, causing the girl to fall into a deep sleep. The young child soon fell on the cave ground, next to the dead bodies of the wolves. Itachi's Sharingan soon disappeared and was replaced by his normal eyes as he looked at his partner.
"Pick her up and lets bring her to the others. I'll get the fish." Itachi ordered and turned around, leaving the cave before Kisame could ask any questions.
Tsking, the mist ninja put his sword away and did as he was told. He picked the young child up and placed ther over his right shoulder. Without taking a second glance behind him, and forgetting about the stolen fish, Kisame left the cave to join his partner.
I want to mention I have not thought of a name for Chika's power but I can explain it is very similar to Chakra
