Soft chocking laughter passed through pale lips as the masked man lifted the S-class nin criminal up. The man screamed in pain as the sharp blade slid into the depths of his belly. Hiroki smiled darkly before twisting the blade around, loving the sound of bones breaking. It was perfect music to his ears, and he swore that he'd never grow tired of it. But perhaps he was sad in a way. He wouldn't have someone to love him, mainly because he killed all those who knew his real name. Yes he was an Uchila, but Hiroki wasn't his name. It was actually something different, but a desire to protect himself was there, so he had changed it. Now if he could just survive. The silver haired nin was cute though, not that it mattered. He was just another person Hiroki would eventually kill.
When he reached the lake, Hiroki stripped and slid into the water. He was sick of humanity, tired of living, and exhausted with the world in general. He gently removed his mask, staring down at the reflection that stared back at him from the water. Dark hair, dark skin, and dark eyes to match. He grinned darkly and watched as the familiar chocolate brown color gave way to the swirling red of the Shardigans'. The famous Copy-nin had been surprised to see him, not to mention Feline. The newest members of the ANBU had made a splash. Feline, Lupine, Kitsune, and Myshi. Feline was the male with the Shardigans', black hair and a general dislike for the world. Kitsune was different, he smelled like Feline, though he had blonde hair and blue eyes. Lupine was a male with long brown hair pulled back into a low ponytail. Myshi was a female, looked a lot like Lupine. Hiroki guessed that they were cousins. Not that he cared though.
Life in general sucked, and sucked bad. It wasn't like he really understood why though. It seemed that no matter where he went, bad things seemed to follow him. Sighing softly, he gently retied the mask over his face and redressed quickly. He had places to go to, things to deliver, and people to kill. Not that it mattered much. He was just a tool. Though Hiroki wasn't quite sure about that. Actually, the killer had a guilty pastime. He liked to play matchmaker with the members of the Akutsuki. It was fun, especially when he got to watch them have hot sex in front of him. Ahh, the perks of being able to become invisible.
So far he'd been able to get three pairings. Deidara and Sasori was the first one of the three. They were cute together. The Puppet Master and the Artist. It actually worked out well. Then there was Kakuzu and Hidan. It was an interesting pairing, considering that they were on the opposite sides for most things, but it seemed to be working out. Then there was his favorite, Kisame and Itachi. After all, it wasn't everyday that you got the see Uchila Itachi being screwed into a table. Or anything else that could hold their combined weight. Practically the hottest thing that he had ever seen. Maybe, if he was lucky, he could convince them to. . . . . . . . . . . hmm. That was a good idea. And with that thought in mind, Hiroki leapt to shore and turned towards the Akatsuki Hideout. He had a message to deliver.
Slipping through the door to the hideout, Hiroki managed to make it to Itachi's room. He had met the man before, so the former Leaf nin hoped that this would work. Moving silently, he gently touched the sleeping Akatsuki member's arm, shaking him awake. When Itachi's left eye snapped open, Hiroki jumped back, dodging the kunai to the throat.
"Who are you?" Hiroki said nothing, just reached back and untied his mask. The strangled noise from Itachi clearly said that he recognized the intruder.
"You. . . You are. . ."
"I am."
"What do you need, Uchila?"
"Hiroki is fine."
"Not your real name?"
"I'm a missing-nin now."
"What? But you love your village too much!"
"I was driven to the edge." Itachi nodded silently.
"What now?"
"Do you want to leave?"
"Huh?"
"Do you want to leave the Akatsuki? With Kisame?"
"How do you know. . .."
"Because I've been playing matchmaker with you guys."
"I wondered why he kept getting pushed onto me. . . Anyway, leave? Where would we go?"
" 保護者の隠された村"
"But that village doesn't exist."
"It does. I know where it is. I can take you there if you want."
Itachi stood up. "I don't know. I'll have to ask Kisame."
"Ask quickly. You can only get to it this week."
Dressing quickly Itachi made a move to bolt from the room, but Hiroki grabbed his arm.
"Go to Mt. Mikoto if you are coming with me and bring anyone else who wants to come." He let it go and watched as Sasuke's older brother disappeared from the room.
Maybe, just maybe, he could save these people.
