19 | the owl

That night , (Name) fell asleep in Itachi's strong arms. She was so exhausted that she didn't notice the black owl perched on a nearby branch.
Its feathers and eyes were pure black , darker than that of Itachi's eyes.

The owl was beautiful in a mystical and mysterious way. 

Itachi's crow was also perched nearby , its red eye narrowed at the owl.

The crow wanted to scare the owl away , but the ebony owl didn't budge. He had been watching over her for years already. Her safety meant everything to him.
The owl's black eyes glared at the crow , who had a single Sharingan transplanted in one of his eyes . Even the odd bird didn't strike any fear to him.

The owl just perched on the branch and silently watched as the girl slept.

   ' You're alright , (Name) . Thank god you're alright.'

" Are those the ones we have to assasinate ?" (Name) asked , her face contorted in a bitter expression. She had never killed, and didn't plan on doing so. 

" Yep. You just stay here kid , we can handle it. But if the situation calls for it , you better jump in and help," Kisame said. 

(Name) remained on the tree branch while Kisame and Itachi ambushed the troup of ninjas. She was in the Akatsuki , what did she expect ? 

Blood , gore and violence became a daily aspect of life. Taking the lives of others was nothing new.

    " Y..You're the Akatsuki !" one of the ninjas stuttered , his eyes widened at the sight of two members of the widely feared Akatsuki Organisation. 

     " Spot on ," Kisame chuckled. 

     " What do you want ?!" another ninja yelled , displaying a pathetic brave front. Even the bravest of ninjas fell down to their knees at the sight of the Akatsuki. 

    " We don't necessarily want anything. The thing is , we're on a mission.  And to complete our mission , we have to kill you all. Not a big deal , right ?" Kisame said.
Gasps were heard , and each of the ninjas withdrew their weapons.

    " Who sent you ?" a slightly older ninja , presumably the leader questioned.

     " It doesn't matter , really. Well , just because I'm so kindhearted , I'll just tell you. What about the leader of your country's biggest enemy ?"

Their expressions darkened.
     " Even if we die , we will go down fighting !" 

     " Cool. We don't like straw dummies as opponents that much anyway."

And with that , the battle commenced.  (Name) faced the other direction , unwilling to see the bloody battle.

She could hear Kisame slicing the ninjas clean through using Samehada , and the sound of blood and guts splattering on the ground made bile rise in her throat.

However , (Name) eventually turned around , wanting to see their fighting techniques . Itachi , especially.  She had never seen the Uchiha prodigy in battle mode.

And he was flawless. His style wasn't as bloody and destructive as Kisame's , but just as deadly.

He was using the Sharingan , one of the three great Dojutsu. 

They made the mistake of looking at Itachi in the eye , and that was the end of them. It amazed (Name) how he could kill someone with a single glance. 

     " Well well well , looks like there's a third member. She doesn't seem so dangerous , does she?  Especially with that skinny build and nonexistent chakra."
