Chapter One: Bemused Vixen
The sound of a blade entangled with flesh mixed with desperate plea for being spared. "Why? Why must you do this, young girl?" A desperate elder cries in the ground covered in blood.
"Because it is my mission." She says icily. Thud. The elder's carcass lays there lifeless as the girl rob what's left in his affluent pocket and rips the blade from his rib. "I'm sorry." She says. The girl then walks off regretting what she saw.
"Well done, but you're still a worthless Shinobi ." A man with a deep voice says. The girl looks around sadly. This had to be the hundredth village they terrorized. She sighs looking at the place. Men, women, and children were on the ground mixed with blood. Dead innocent eyes virtually stare upon her in sadness. The place was depressing. Why did she always have to go through the same routine?
She puts the blade away and watches the man before her beat a woman holding a child. He pulls out his sword and finishes her off. The child runs away in great fear. It was a boy. At least two or three.
Without the adult male looking at her. She picks up the child and teleports to a far away village; handing the child to a loving family. Then teleports off.
"Lord Itachi, no lives have not been spared." She lied. The man grins at her and touches her chin. Indeed, it was no other person than Sasuke's older adult brother. The man grows cold hearted and impatient each time he ages. The girl respects him by handing him the goods she's stolen.
Itachi tells her to keep the garbage and signals her to come with him. She obeys. She walks pass the grim site of cold corpses. Her eyes lowers at what she has done. The girl detested looking into their orbs. She responds quietly. "Those people. I felt their pain." She says gripping her heart. Itachi raises a brow and says nothing. He keeps on walking. "Is it o.k if I take a break from-- killing?"
"You are an assassin." He says coldly.
"And what do assassins do?" He asks in a deep voice.
"A murderer who kills a prominent political figure. By using treacherous surprise attack and often is hired to do the deed." She says in dictionary terms. "I know, master. And I respect your wishes. But, we can't live on like this. I mean look at you- you're falling apart. Sooner or later you'll go insane again." She says.
Itachi ignores her. To heed the importance of her urge to make him stop. He loathe the fact that she does this. Just a sign of her lambast talking, makes him tune out. He hated the fact she had good in her. It disgusted him. The man tells her to shut up and keep on walking. The girl went silent.
Itachi puts back on his basket hat. The tags that were around it hung loose and painted half his face with shadows. The soft pitter patters of the sharp grass could be heard a couple of square meters away. Luckily, he sent her home without a word.
The door creeks with an echoe, then ends with a hard slam. The girl sighs. It was a relief he was gone. She runs up the stairs of the dark place and decides to take a shower to wash the dried blood off of her.
Meanwhile, Itachi takes a short stroll down the grassy terrain. He wanted to cut something. To make someone bleed, so his rank could go up. But, it was limited. He has already achieved his goal in becoming a Rank S Hidden Nin. yet, he strives in greed to get stronger.
Itachi closes his crimson eyes. The quiet has kept him quite tranquil. The wind blows gently against the strands of his black hair. Perhaps meditating had some use for restoring his minimally lost chakra.
So, that's where he's been hiding. Sasuke says in his head. He wears his black attire with bandages on his right arm.
The suns rays beat upon his hidden face in the bushes of the trees. Itachi was all alone. After two years of running away, he was going to make this work. Shink. He pulls out his kunai knife; waiting for his older brother to make the wrong move. Any second now, if he does this right, he could hit his pulse on the left side of his neck. I have you now. Sasuke thought icily. Say goodnight. He arches his right hand back. His steady eyes in motion for the right target. Just when he's about to launch his weapon, a girl runs out of the building. He frowns.
She had long black hair that shined red in the sunset. She wore a Chinese theme sleeveless/turtleneckless/strapless maroon and gold dress that had a slit to its side to reveal her soft, creamy thigh. Red nail polish on her delicate fingers and toes, long beauteous eyelashes that accented her pretty cherry syrupy orbs and red eye shadow to bring the sunlight out. Her luscious lips were to die for. They sheened a soft, natural pink with a shade of red lipgloss that brought out a healthy shine. Not to mention the velvety material she wore to accent her perfect curves. She's grown to be an attractive young lady. Her hair dangles down softly to her mid kneecap and was held in a yin-yang headband.
She breathes at a rapid pace to catch her breath. The steam of the shower was overbearing. For she couldn't stand anything hot because of her ice chakra. She stops to see Itachi glaring. He opens his mouth to reply surly. "Naomi. What are you in a hurry for?" The girl responds at him by looking up. For, that was her name.
"My skin felt like it was melting. Why do you pay so much for hot water? It's stupid." Her skin's a bit pink from the heated water touching flawless pores. Itachi's eyes narrows.
"I thought it was something important." He says as his voice deepens.
"Guess not."
"..." Itachi grows silent. The gentle wind brushes against his face.
"Never mind." She says softly.
He stood there for five minutes. He's made not a sound, but passively admire the soft breeze.
Naomi breaks the silence; asking Itachi a question. "Lord Itachi, you said you have a brother, yes?" He raises a brow.
"I've told you over a hundred times. Why must you vex with those insignificant words?" He answers.
"You say he's taken down eight of the Missing Ninjas. I'd just thought maybe you should tell me the explanation of your rivalry with him."
Itachi folds his arms under his black and red robe. "I am surprised you asked me after all of the years. But, to make it short before you annoy me..." He says with narrow eyes. "Let's just say it's based on a more of a test."
"A- a test?" She asks profoundly. His eyes sharpened at her.
"Yes, a test. Now, are you going to quit piffling in a bothersome way. Or ire me with the disdain of your futile questions?"
"Sorry. I'll stop."
SS-ssss. Naomi looks around. Her orbs were racing around quickly. Itachi studies her.
"What's wrong with you?" Itachi asks.
"I heard something. Behind those trees." She pointed.
"You idiot. If you could hear it. So could I." He says to her. "Quit imagining and just train or something."
"But."
"That's in order. Our conversing stops now."
Naomi looks around. The orbs in her eyes incite quickly as she observes the tree covered terrain. "You're hopeless." Itachi says. "Now, stay out here and look for whatever bugs you, as I rest."
Itachi walks inside the wooden house. The soft sound of the pasture mixes with the nature sounds. Naomi stands there bedeviled. She knew she heard something. She just knew it.
Her head arches up quickly finding Sasuke up a tree. Out of her pockets she pulls out needles. Each of them now between her fingers for exceptional aim. She jumps up high. His eyes widen then narrows at her. He decides to make a run for it.
She moves swiftly following him. Her eyes now anticipating his every move. Sasuke stops halfway seeing her glare. He grins slyly. Getting her alone was the first step to demolishing Itachi. Her eyes narrows sharply at the boy who was standing before her. Without asking for an explanation she attacks head on.
Her legs move swiftly. Being aware of wearing a dress, she knew it was highly doubtful for him to take a peek under it. Both teens are locked in physical combat.
She jabs at the boy; missing every blow. The girl grows impatient and finally speaks. "Who are you!-- What do you want?" She says trying to pummel him.
Sasuke's eyes narrows at her. He takes hold of his right knee and strikes her with it; kicks her over and steps forward. "The question is, what are you doing with Itachi?" He asks discourteously. Naomi rubs the blood from her bottom lip. She refuses to reply.
She rises up. Staggering back in coy and surprise. "You'd hit a girl?" She says in a witting way.
"Don't act like you don't know what I'm talking about!" Sasuke implies sternly. "I've been searching 2 years for that sorry bastard!"
Naomi looks at the teen in dislike. Just who did he think he is talking about her master? She walks forward, unafraid of what befalls next. Sasuke puts up a fighting pose. Her eyes starring daggers at him. He opens his mouth to give her a harsh reply. The last response he gave to her was degrading and mortifying. She wanted to rip his head off.
Sasuke observes her delicate fingers putting down her weapons. He distrust her greatly. The girl has no idea she brought herself into. The silence aggrivates both teens. "I'm going to ask you this once." Sasuke says seriously.
"Oh, yeah?" Naomi says in her normal soft tone. "What is it?"
"That you step aside and don't get involve in our battle."
"Why not?" She asks coyly.
"Because you're a weak girl and I'll be forced to kill you." He grits out of his teeth.
The girl's eyes narrowed. She charges forward and kicks him below the belt. Sasuke gasps at the pain and falls down. "Bastard.."
Naomi gives out a scorn. She laughs at the agony he felt when he hits the hard soily ground. "You think this is funny?" He seers through his teeth. "Why this is the most pathetic Ninja move I ever encountered in my life." Naomi pulls on his scalp. "Thanks." She says. "My mother taught me." She lets him down with a loud thud. Sasuke groans out loud holding ' who knows what'.
"I hate you." He seers through his teeth. "You're such a coward. What ranking are you, anyway?" He asks, pertaining his regular breathing pattern.
"A Shinobi." She answers bluntly.
Sasuke chuckles and gets back up. "What's so funny?" The girl says with narrow eyes. Sasuke gets back up. "You're pitiful. I remember when I used to get my ass kicked by losers like you."
"Oh really?"
"Yeah, it's called Genin." He says with narrow eyes.
"What does that have to do with anything?" Naomi asks as her eyes sharpen up.
"Actually nothing." He says dusting himself off. "I just wanted to tell you that I'm done toying with you and you're dead."
"What?"
Itachi rises from the couch of his dim, melancholy living room. He sits there wondering why Naomi hasn't returned yet. He once again closes his red orbs. That girl he could do without sometimes. He lowers his eyes. They became heavy. He falls into a deep slumber. Maybe that'll do him some good.
"A Hidden Ninja? You've got to be kidding me?" Naomi says to Sasuke rudely. "Have you even mastered the Mangekyo Sharingan?" She says to him.
Sasuke didn't answer.
"Hmph, figures." She says icily. "You don't even have the guts to kill your own best friend."
Sasuke balls his fist up tight. "I would've, but chose not to." He says in a lower voice. "Why don't you think about what you're saying, and wave your ludicrous pride to someone who cares."
He jumps up to another tree. "Hey, wait! Aren't you going to fight me?" Naomi yells out.
"You're not even worth the time."
