A/N: So anything you hate so far? Anything you really want to see in the future? Sorry for any OOC-ness throughout this story :/
Oh, and don't expect big fight scenes from me lol, I'm more drama inclined
Disclaimer: I don't own any of the Uchiha's mentioned below, I just own Koori
Speaking with the devil himself
"So, you were waiting behind my door the entire night...in the dark?" I asked when he deemed I wouldn't scream my head off. What if I didn't return, would he have gotten bored then shuffled out of my room awkwardly? Geez, going through my thing's when I'm not here...hiding behind my door, he's either the world's creepyist stalker, or the best un-birthday surprise guest.
He ignored my question, I felt the air shift as he walked circles around me, voice shifting to a more serious tone that of 'Madara's' "Koori of the Yuki clan, you hold knowledge that you should not" when I snorted, he held me in place by the neck "tell me why I shouldn't split your throat right now, spy".
"I'm not a spy, I'm from a different world...this was a book series" I bit out as his gloved fingers tightened warningly, why is it no one ever believes me?...nevermind I wouldn't believe me either. "You wouldn't believe me" I reiterated, "Humor me" my eyes rolled as hard as they could, "fiiiine" this is the last time I'm explaining this shit, I ran my hand across the wall searching for the lightswitch, then limped to the bed and sat gingerly on the white sheets.
I got up again a second later "actually on second thought, I think we're going to need sake". The masked man gripped my arm. "SIT DOWN" I made an ugly face at him, grumpily sitting back down with a pout. He sat next to me crossing his arms at least sit on the other bed, I heaved a sigh.
"...I suppose I only know of this series because of my daughter" I mused smirking slightly, then grimaced looking at the floor.
"Daughter?" he asked masked face looking me up and down "how old are you?" I think I genuinely surprised him. "I was 28 when I…and this body is 15 now" I rubbed the back of my head "anyways my daughter was a huge fan of these books, so she basically forced me to read them along with her" I smiled fondly at the memories "she was 10" I shook my head anyways.
"The series was all about an enthusiastic blue eyed blond boy" he stiffened immediately "Minato?" I looked into his eye hole "iie, his son Uzumaki Naruto, the...uh prophecy kid" a dark aura surrounded him, I'm sure he was thinking along the lines of 'shit, I should've killed that baby when I had the chance' "the book shows his exploits as he grows older, and changed the hearts of his enemy's...but he's the least of your worries for at least...5 years?" I paused for a breath "but it doesn't only show his life, it also shows those of his closest friends, Sasuke, Sakura...Kakashi" he didn't even flinch, damn "and the plans of Akatsuki".
I shrugged "it's noble, wanting to change the world for the better, that's why I joined".
"But that's not whats important right now, whats important now is plans...your plans, and people who tattle" I said nodding.
"You seem to have a weasel in the group, you need to get rid of him...the sooner the better." "The Uchiha? A pathetic pacif-" I pointed at him eyes narrowing "stop that" he grabbed my hand and squeezed, air hissed between my teeth. " He managed to trick you till he died, or you just seriously didn't care that he made this organization's goal that much harder". "The Uchiha's were planning a coup, Danzo-sama couldn't let that happen so he ordered Itachi-san to kill his own clan...making it seem like the genius cracked...and you were there so you know the rest" I waved a hand "he's still loyal to Konoha, and always will be".
"How can I be sure your telling me the truth hn? You yourself could become the informant" he stated bluntly.
"I already tried" I sneered crossing my arms.
"Danzo's a friendly bastard, gave me free rent, free food, and tried manipulating me nicely, when that didn't work, he tortured me...trying to make me one of his root agents because of my bloodline" I glared at the wall "I apparently have a will of steel, I was only there for two months before they were publicly executing me for being a 'spy'" I grinned "but then the guard-" "-the guard that was in charge of you, incidentally took a plunge down the stairs, giving you the perfect opportunity to escape" the scarred man finished for me.
"…Yup" if you knew why did you have me explain the whole thing then? "Didn't you think it was too easy? How no one followed after you?" he rumbled.
I paused.
I refuse to believe.
I hit my fist to my palm "it was the easy button, I must've hit it accidentally on my way out".
That Akatsuki wanted me, before I wanted them.
He stared at me as if I was -I assume from his tone of voice- stupid "and how no one stopped you at the gate?"
It was my own idea to go to them...right?
"You planted spy's within Konoha...just to have someone with my blood limit" I leaned over my knees oh dear god, it was probably Zetsu too leading me by the arm to my death I shivered scratching the spot on my arm, he stood as I processed this, making way for the door. "Now I have a family matter to take care of" I whipped my head up "are you going to kill him?" "...perhaps" he answered. I got up to my feet, clasping my hands in front of me "Let me try talking to him first, please" I stood by him beside the door.
"You're going to warn him".
"Yes...I am".
I strolled through the hallways hands on the wall for support "Iiiiiitachi-san" I called, maybe if I annoyed him enough he would come to me. "Iiiita-" I flinched when I was tapped on the shoulder "yes?" I asked turning to face Itachi "did you need something?" His voice bored, I reached out and held his hands in mine "Can we talk somewhere private?"
If anyone passed by at that moment, it might've seemed like I was about to confess my feelings for him. Hell, Itachi probably thought I was too, why else would the new girl want to speak to him?...I watched as he put on his default face, and led us away from prying eyes.
We walked outside to a clearing, the trees surrounding us were shredded, and the ground was upturned this must be where they train. The moon was was blue and full, a cool breeze washed over us, calming my nerves slightly. He turned me with a raised eyebrow, I took a deep breath you can do this.
"You need to leave, now" I blurted quickly, his other eyebrow was now raised, but he remained silent "Ob-Madara's going to kill you" his whole body tensed, and his expression turned shocked.
He latched onto my arm, leading me deeper into the surrounding forest, I almost tripped over my feet a few times.
"Tell me what you know" the shadows of the trees eating up his frame, all but his red eyes.
I gripped his hand's once again, and squeezed my eyes shut, because if I'm holding his hand's there's less chance of him slitting my throat "he found out about you still being loyal to Konoha…" because of me "go back to Konoha, go back to your brother, explain it all to him".
"...how did you find out about this?"
I shook my head.
"It would take too long to explain, he only gave me 10 minutes to warn you".
"Why would you want to help me?" he asked quietly, I licked my dry lips "because…" my daughter "my sister loved you" I smiled fondly "she would kill me if she found out I let you die needlessly" he shook his head "I cannot go back, Konohagakure would go to ruin if the truth was revealed" he said sounding pained. "Then...then, shit I don't know! You're the genius here…just runaway and hide somewhere!" My throat tightened, I took a breath to calm "you have such little time left Itachi-san...you can't protect anyone if you're dead" I whispered. He was silent for a moment, the cogs in his brain turning. "Why are you here?" he asked, words escaped me, my eyes clenched tight why am I here? With Akatsuki? In this new dangerous life?…I've asked that question many times before "life screwed with my reality, I'm just returning the favor" I smiled a little too wide, showing a little too many teeth.
The silence between us thickened, he was thinking of the future, while I thought of the past.
"Come with me, you will die here" he spoke quietly, my eyes snapped opened in surprise. "...I know that, this is my punishment" I said letting go of his hands smiling.
"Good luck Itachi-san" I wished him.
"Good luck Koori-san" he replied.
...He disappeared, as if he evaporating into the air, but I knew that this wouldn't be the last words exchanged between us.
I turned to the path that would take me back to hidden base, gripping the ring in my hand almost painfully, the night was silent once more.
A couple days later Pein made up some bullshit lie of how Itachi was leaking information (maybe not so bullshit, just hasn't happened yet) and Kisame was left without a partner for the time being.
