Hope you enjoy^^ And this time we have written tiny bits each^^)
Itachi walked into the Akatsuki- leader's office, looking at the man that was known as the "Leader". "You called?" Itachi said in a monotone. "Yes, I want you to go find someone" the leader got up from his chair and walked over to a small safe he had. The leader opened the safe, taking out a file. "This is Hiryuu Ki, she will replace Zetzu" the leader sat down again. "Everything you need is in the file. Dismissed" the leader said in a 'no-joking tone'. Not that Itachi was the person to make jokes.
******
Itachi left the room. 'Why do I get the boring jobs, like getting a new member?' he thought to himself, as he started on his journey. 'Why couldn't someone who wasn't that important go get this stupid girl? Why him?!" Itachi was starting to get pissed, and if anybody had been near him now, he would probably kill that person.
He could feel his own aura around him, glowing in a dangerous way that made him a little bit scared of his own powers.
Itachi had, for the most, calmed down, but he knew that he would be a jackass for the rest of the month, at least.
It wasn't something he could change, he never showed much emotion, but when he was a jackass, he got pissed so easily. He skidded to a halt, when he heard someone. It wasn't someone dangerous, at least not for him, but he was of the curious type. So he wanted to know.
"Who's there?" It was a girl's voice, and by asking she revealed her destination. Itachi was behind her in a second. "Don't move," he said calm. But the girl did, and she even dodged the kunais Itachi threw. He thought he recognized this girl then, and looked into the file he got from the leader.
He started to look through the file, surprised by the fact that everything seemed to fit with the girl in front of him. If only the picture had been in colors, and not black-white. "What's your name?" That made the girl look confused like hell. "What?" Itachi sighed, he hated to repeat himself. "What's your name?"
The girl looked at him, with her cold, icy blue eyes. "Reiu" Dang! It was the wrong girl anyway. 'But the leader doesn't know that' Itachi thought to himself, and smiled a little. He looked at the girl, she wasn't old, she was about twenty, maybe twenty two, if he was right. "Look, I don't know who you are, or what good it does to you to know my name.
But would you mind telling me why you wanted to know?" He hadn't prepared to anwer that question.
"You remind me of someone" he answered to soon. "Okay…" The girl looked at him skeptically. "What is yours?" the girl asked. "My what?" he asked her, starting to walk towards the base. "Your name" she walked after him. "Itachi" he said. "The Akatsuki Itachi! The Itachi that killed his whole clan? Uchiha Itachi?" he nodded stiffly. "Can I join?" he was slightly taken aback by the girls straightforwardness. "You need to talk to the leader, it's not easy. You have to be extremely good" he almost smiled. "I am extremely good" the girl said softly, almost seeming slightly bored. "Oh so?" he turned around, and the girl smiled at him. "Yes so" she said in a monotone. "May show me?" he looked at the girl skeptically. She performed a hand sign, and a gigantic water vortex showed up. He gaped, not in a million years would he expect THAT girl to be able to do such a powerful jutsu. "Follow me" he straightened up, and started walking towards the base again. She followed silently, looking at the man in front of her. 'So this is the Uchiha everyone is talking 'oh so greatly' about?' she was disappointed.
Itachi wondered how that girl actually could perform that jutsu; she had to be a genius. "So..." Reiu got cut off. A man came into their sight. "Itachi-san!" A man with a mask all over his face came towards them. Reiu looked with big eyes on the man, he only had one hole in the mask, to one of his eyes.
"Tobi…" Itachi's voice sounded normal, with a hint of anger. "Who's the girl?" Tobi went into the girls face. "Get away from me," she threatened. Tobi got quickly away from the girl, hiding behind Itachi. Reiu blinked and she was clearly surprised.
Itachi started to get pissed at Tobi. "Oh, Itachi-san, did you find the girl? Is this that girl?" He looked at Itachi, who actually seemed to have a hard time not punching Tobi. "No, I'm Reiu, probably not 'that' girl," Reiu answered. Tobi looked shocked over the fact that the girl spoke to him.
"Are you any good?" He leaned over Itachi's shoulder, looking suspicious at Reiu. Now Reiu could see that Itachi was mad, and she was sure as hell he would love to punch Tobi, but he wasn't like that. "Hell yes, I am!" Reiu looked at Tobi. "Oo, can you show me? Show me! Show me!" A big smock was heard, and Tobi suddenly lay on the ground; Itachi had punched him.
"Itachi-san, you're so mean!" Tobi cried out. Reiu smirked. "You didn't see that one coming, Tobi?" she asked and stared at him; he looked a little bit like a child. "Why are you so mean to me Itachi-san? Did Tobi do something wrong? Is Tobi a… Bad boy?" Reiu held out a hand for Tobi. Tobi grabbed her hand, and got up from the floor. "Itachi-san? Why did you come back without the girl? Leader-sama will be mad at you!" Tobi was talking really fast, and it took all of Reiu's self discipline to not start laughing again. "Well, I thought, since this girl is identical to the other girl, and this girl is good, that she can be a member, instead of that other girl" Itachi said, voice monotone as always. Itachi started walking, and signed for Reiu to follow him. Itachi walked into the leader's office, not bothering to knock. "It's the wrong girl" leader's voice said firmly. "I can explain. This is Reiu, I found her on my way to get the other girl. She asked if she could join us, and well… She is good" Itachi said slightly nervous. The leader sighed, "She can join, I know who she is, but you still have to find Ki!" the leader almost shouted. "I'm in? Awesome" Reiu said, grinning. "Do I have to go looking for that girl? What makes me have to go all the way across the continent to find one girl?" Itachi looked at leader. "Because that girl killed almost every shinobi in Kumogakure, with one single jutsu" leader said. Itachi turned to leave, "Fine, I'll go." He was surprised when leader said, "Take Kakuzu with you!" Itachi groaned, but walked out. "Tobi! Show Reiu around the hideout" Itachi barked, before walking off, looking for the money obsessed shinobi.
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Ki was for the moment in Sunagakure, not exactly the safest place for a missing-nin from Kumogakure, but she liked taking risks. She had dropped her headband, and was dressed like a civilian. She smiled at the small children she walked by, and winked at the boys that sent long glances at her. She was enjoying her life as a civilian, free from the ordinary pains like missions, and rules. Not that civilians didn't have rules, but no one would expect an ordinary young woman, to be able to run, at the same speed as lightning. It had been almost six years since she left Kumogakure, and now she was so fast, she could travel from Konohagakure to Sunagakure in less than an hour. She grinned at the thought of running, and started to slowly skip down the street, heading for a small ramen shop she had seen yesterday.
She didn't give a damn thought about what she had done, not really, she was more living right now. Ki looked hungry at the ramen shop, and heard that her stomach growled for food. Ki was now in a hurry to get a bowl of ramen, and when she was about to sit down, she fell.
Suddenly she faced the ground, and had dirt in her mouth. She rose quickly, brushing the dirt of herself. She sat on the chair this time, trying to be normal again, and trying not to laugh. "Can I help you miss?" Ki smiled and nodded. "I want today's menu," she said and smiled sweetly.
The man nodded and started on the thing he was good to; making ramen for hungry customers. Ki thought of how incredible stupid she must have looked to the others around her now, but she didn't know them, neither did they know her. "Here you go miss," Ki started to eat the ramen, thankfully.
She was so hungry, and she love ramen; this was almost perfect. As she ate she discovered one weird guy beside her, no, it was two. They didn't look at her, but they were suspicious to her. She hurried to finish her ramen, and paid. Then she hurried away from the shop, and just when she thought she had lost the two weird guys, they stood in front of her.
"What is this?" Ki thought of how she could get away from them, and running was the only way she could possible think of. "Ki, come with us." Ki froze and took a better look at the men. "Why should I?" They walked towards her, and she couldn't get her legs to move. "Who are you guys?" They skidded to a halt when they were almost beside her.
"We're from Akatsuki." 'What do they want with me then?' Ki asked herself, and tensed for a battle. "Itachi, can't you see she's scared?" Ki snorted. "I'm not!" She said and tried to look scary. "Why are you here anyway? What do you want with me?" Itachi sighed and looked seriously at Ki. "We want you to join Akatsuki." '
She laughed at that, "And why should I want to join that gang of yours?" she looked at them. "Because you either come with us, or we will have to force you!" the one with the name Itachi said. "Okey then, force me!" the girl laughed. "Let's see how long it will take for all the shinobi in this town to stop two scary and highly dangerous Akatsuki members from attacking a civilian?" She laughed. 'That girl looks exactly like Reiu; she even has the same stuck up attitude, if not even worse!' Itachi thought to himself.
"And how long do you think it will take for them to discover who you really are, Ki?" The other one spoke. Ki hadn't thought of that. "Well… I… Okay, you got a point there," she sighed and looked at them. "So, what do you say?" Itachi, again. "Why should I? It's not like I have to."
Itachi and Kakuzu saw that this was going to be harder than they both expected. "Well, Kakuzu here, likes money, and he usually gets it by being a bounty hunter from time to time. And you have a bounty on your head," Itachi said calm and firmly. And he knew that Ki would see what he meant. "Er, okay, I guess. I'll come with you, for now." She didn't even think through it.
"You'll take her back, Itachi. I'll go get some money." There was actually joy in Kakuzu's voice as he left Ki and Itachi. 'Damn it! Why me?!' Itachi thought to himself, wondering why he got to do all work, while the others had fun. He argued with himself, forgetting that Ki was there. After a while she touched his shoulder. Itachi then remembered he was a baby sitter for her.
"Oh, fucking fantastic!" he grumbled low and looked at Ki. "Let's go," he said, loosing a little bit of his monotone in his voice. "Why are you sulking, Itachi?" Something made suddenly sense. "You're Uchiha Itachi, aren't you?" Itachi nodded. "And I'm not sulking!" he answered and started to walk in the direction of the wood. "Right, you're not sulking," Ki said with a laugh, that...
made Itachi wish that Reiu was here, instead of Ki. "You're fast, Ki. I've read your file, so we can speed up a little," he said, and sped up before Ki knew it. But she could easily follow him; this was piece of cake for her. "Got any ideas why you want me?" Ki asked. Itachi shook his head.
Great, now he was giving her the silent treatment. "I know you can talk, and if you don't, I'm going to," Ki squealed with joy, and started to talk about everything she could think of. "It's a nice weather to… Look! A bird! So cute!" In the end Itachi couldn't handle it anymore. "I'll use mangekyo sharingan if I have to, Ki," he threatened her.
"Okey" Ki said and stopped, forcing Itachi to stop to. "What do you mean, 'Okey'" Itachi barked. "Okey use your mangekyo sharingan! I've always wanted to see how it works!" Itachi looked at her in shock, but followed her commands, using his mangekyo sharingan on her. She stood still, almost peace full, he couldn't feel her trying to fight it of like most would. He looked at her inside the genjutsu, she was giggling! Who laughs while being under one of his genjutsus? He lifted her up, and started running, not bothering to wake her up just yet.
****
It was night when they came back to the base, and he sighed as he released the genjutsu, and letting her wake up. Her red eyes opened, and she smiled. "That was awesome! I tried as hard as I could, but I couldn't break free! You really are strong Itachi-kun!" He gaped at the 'Itachi-kun' part, no one called Uchiha Itachi for Itachi-kun! He felt heat well up in his normally white cheeks. 'At least she knows a real shinobi when she sees one' he sighed. "Let's go to the leader" he walked towards the door, and was about to enter, when he noticed that Ki wasn't following. He turned around to look at her, and was surprised, the normally happy-go-cool girl was nervous! She walked with hesitating steps towards Itachi, and they entered together. "Ahhh, so you found her at least Itachi" leader said, looking at the girl standing in the background. "Hn" Itachi answered. "Ki, I'm glad you decided to join" he said standing up. "It's not like I was given a choice" she muttered under her breath. "What was that" the leader asked. "I said; Of course I wanted to join when the Uchiha Itachi was the one that came to ask me!" she shouted.
"Good, good," the leader said low. "Itachi, show around, she has to know everything. And, you can leave now." Itachi nodded and turned around to leave. WHY HIM?! He was getting all gloomy, but he showed everything Ki needed to know anything about, and he answered her questions, if they were not to stupid.
And many of them were, and that made him wonder if Reiu was just as stupid as Ki. "Itachi-kun, why are you sulking?" Ki looked at Itachi, and his expression was, now, filled with more anger and astonishment. "For the last time, I'm not sulk…"
"ITACHI-SAN!" Oh, God no! Tobi again! Tobi came, with Reiu, and he smiled big at Itachi.
He whispered low to him, "Please save me from her, she's scary!" Itachi laughed. "Reiu, scary? Yeah, I believe that," he said and looked at Reiu and Ki. 'They really do look a like. What's up with them?' he thought to himself. Both Reiu and Ki tensed, as if they were going to battle.
Itachi soon saw where this was going. He sighed and walked away. Like he was going to stand there and try to help one another. He paused and looked back at Tobi, who was like shining. He was so in to watch them fight. "Tobi, come here, and leave them alone," he barked and started to walk again. Tobi hurried after him, afraid for what would come if he didn't.
Reiu just looked at Ki, with cold eyes, showing no emotion. Ki was more relaxed, more sure that nobody, and especially not Reiu, would or could hurt her. After a long time of starring at each other, Ki sat down on the ground; not leaving Reiu's eyes for a moment. "Who are you?" she said, looking piercingly at Reiu. "Hiryuu Reiu," she answered cold. "And you?" No change in Reiu's voice, but Ki changed a little; she smiled big. "Hiryuu Ki," she said in a happy tone. 'What is she? An idiot?' Reiu thought to herself, actually forgetting all about Ki.
Suddenly Ki was behind her, and pulled a kunai towards her throat, much like that ninja she killed to escape her village, but this time; she was unprepared. "I came behind you this easily? I thought it would be slightly harder to come behind the infamous Reiu of Kiri?" Ki laughed, before pulling the kunai away from Reiu's throat. Reiu didn't react. 'How did that girl do it? No one came past my guard?' Reiu looked at Ki. She was now talking eagerly to Tobi, and they started to walk away. She grumbled but followed the two, not wanting to be alone in the base. Suddenly Ki walked straight on the door, "Ki-chan? Are you alright?" Tobi helped her up. "I'm fine!" Ki snapped. "Little bit snappy Ki?" Reiu said with sarcasm. Reiu was taken aback when Ki smiled, yet again! "I'm kind of clumsy!" Ki said and blushed. "Want to start over again? We didn't really get a good start, sorry!" Ki smiled and reach out her hand. Reiu sighted, "Sure why not?" she shook Ki's hand. "Aw, Reiu-san and Ki-chan are friends!" Tobi came over, pulling both girls into a gigantic group hug. "Tobi, let go of me, or I'll kill you!" Reiu shrieked. Tobi let go of the two girls immediately, and stepping back a few steps. "So Reiu, how long have you been a member of Akatsuki?" Ki asked, eager to know more about this strange organization. "Three days" Reiu muttered. "Oh cool, so you haven't been a member much longer than me! Then we will be the new bees together!" Ki squealed.
