Florence put an arm out to her side in a protective stance for her sister. The realisation of the danger they faced now becoming apparent. The man in front of her, Kisame as her sister whispered to her was now on the attack, his scaled sword out and ready to strike.

'Kisame.' The man behind her, the one from this morning. He stood behind her, his voice smooth and strong, stopping Kisame in his tracks. She could hear her sister hyperventilating from behind her.

'We need hostages, these two will do.' Kisame smiled sadistically, eyeing them up as he sheathed his sword. Itachi from behind, her sister once again whispered, he was obviously the leader of the two.

Florence turned to Itachi, defiance in her eyes and she locked eyes with the man in front of her. She was so attracted to him, but she pushed it down in anger. His eyes were dark, almost empty as he took in her defiance.

'What makes you think we'd come quietly!' she could feel her sister grip her arm behind her. 'Florence please! Just do as they say!'

'Yes Florence. Fighting us will only cause you death.' Itachi's voice remained calm, his eyes piercing into her as Kisame laughed behind her.

There was a squeal as her sister was pulled roughly from behind, gripped by Kisame uncomfortably. 'No please! Don't hurt my sister!' there was panic in her voice as she watched her sister grapple with the shark like man. 'Come without trouble and your sister will live. For now.' His smooth voice from behind once again.

"Itachi turned his back to her, kimono still tightly held around him he led them back through the village, leading to the village centre where they could only imagine what lay ahead for them.
