The Uchiha's Replacement: The Realm Keeper (Itachi love story) Discontinued

Chapter 10 A Spar with the Realm Keeper

-Akita's P.O.V.-

I headed outside after everyone was done eating for my spar with Chiya. I stopped when Itachi grabbed hold of my arm and yanked me back to whisper in my ear.

"Akita go home now."

"Wha-What? But why? What about my spar with Chiya?"

"She's too strong, you'll be defeated and left in a puddle of your own blood on the ground." Itachi said sternly and I gave him a soft smile.

"Does this mean you care about my well being?" I asked and he blushed slightly then turned away releasing my arm.

"Of course not, don't be ridiculous. I was just..warning you is all. Do what you want."

"Ok, then I'll go spar with Chiya like promised." I said and walked away before Itachi could stop me.

I really believed I could beat Chiya, I know I haven't gotten as strong as I'd like to be but I could somehow feel this would be easy. Who knows maybe I'm stronger than Chiya and Itachi doesn't want me to hurt her, or maybe I'm just being a little too self confident..Either way I had a good feeling about this battle.

Sasuke, Itachi and there parents were at the side lines while me and Chiya were in the training feild ready to fight. I took my fighting stance and watched her carefully waiting for her to make the first move. She smirked and started off with throwing some kunai knives.

I jumped up in the air to dodge them and her smirk widened as she threw more at me while I was in mid air. My eyes widened slightly and I took out a kunai of my own to counter them. I wasn't as fast so one hit my left arm and two hit my right leg. When I landed I pulled them out and ignored the pain.

I got out a smoke bomb and threw it at the ground making it seem like I ran away, then I used a simple wind style jutsu to blow the smoke at Chiya and followed in the smoke so no one would see me. When I was in front of her I aimed a kick at her stomach just to get grabbed by the ankle and swung around. When Chiya let go, I hit a tree really hard and almost had the wind knocked out of me.

When the smoke cleared I saw Chiya had activated her sharingan. I stood up again and threw some kunai knives at her followed by some throwing stars. She countered all the kunai knives then jumped away from the throwing stars. I eyed her carefully planning my next move but she quickly did some hand signs.

"Fire style! Fireball jutsu!"

'Oh no!' I thought, my eyes widening.

I jumped out of the way as best as I could but the fireball hit my right leg and burned the bottom of my kimono. When the fireball faded and I landed, I found it hard to use the support of my right leg to stand. I panted softly starting to have some second thoughts about the battle but decided not to give up.

I wasn't even using my ninja tools. Mikoto offered her old ninja tools since mine were back home. I didn't know all the tools she had in the little ninja tool belt but I was using them as best as I could.

"Hey I know, let's make a bet to make it fun. How about the loser spends the night outside in the spot they fall?"

"But..wouldn't you be cold?" I asked tilting my head and she got an angry look.

"I'll be fine! Worry about yourself!" Chiya yelled throwing more kunai and I dodged them.

'How many kunai knives does she have?!'

The battle continued and she used a fire style jutsu every now and then. I tried using my simple wind style but that wasn't strong enough wind so I only fueled the fire that came at me. I hadn't learned any other wind style jutsus to attack with so that was useless. Besides how could I defeat her when her sharingan was activated?!

We ended up getting close enough for taijutsu but I could only punch and dodge. My leg wasn't strong enough to hold me up by itself and it wasn't strong enough to use for a kick either. I was getting beaten up pretty badly...Chiya punched me in the face pretty hard and I hit the ground with a thud.

I panted and my eyes were getting a bit blurry. I heard some voices but I couldn't understand them. Then I blacked out.

-Itachi's P.O.V.-

"Akita-Chan!" Sasuke yelled and ran over to her.

"Oh my.." My mother added and also ran over to Akita. "Fugaku get the med kit! Or a med ninja or someone!"

My father nodded and ran into the house to get the med kit while I walked over to Chiya calmly. She wrapped her arms around my neck smiling and kissed my lips but I didn't kiss back. She pulled away with a disappointed look.

"What? I don't get a victory kiss?"

"You realize you could of killed my student using more than half of your strength right?" I asked slightly angry.

I knew the Hokage was going to be upset about this..

"Oh come on, I'm sure she's fine."

"Look at her Chiya! She's on the ground unconscious! You used your sharingan in this spar and that's an unfair advantage considering she's not even considered a GENIN level yet." I said sternly.

Chiya's eyes widened at my yelling then she looked at Akita then back at me. I moved her arms from around my neck when my mother called me over.

"Excuse me."

"Come on Itachi, we're taking her inside until she's conscious again." My mother said a bit panicked and I nodded picking Akita up.

"W-Wait a minute! She lost the bet!" Chiya complained and I shook my head.

"She never even agreed to the bet Chiya." I said and took Akita inside.

It was my fault for not training Akita hard enough and for not trying harder to stop her in this battle. I was mad but mostly at myself. I set Akita on the couch and my mother tended to her wounds. I studied her lifeless face and noticed how peaceful she looked. Suddenly my heart skipped a beat and my eyes widened slightly.

'Just what is with this girl?'
