The Black Leaf (Part 1)

Chapter 38: Tobi

Itachi was going to be gone for a couple of weeks and I was stuck doing side missions with Tobi. The props was that we didn't have to walk much he would just transport us pretty much anywhere. I was curious to learned about that specific jutsu but he didn't liked to talk much about himself. On the other hand he was very interested on learning about me and my time in the AMBU. 

After our mission we walked back to the hideout, Tobi never seemed to get a drop of blood on him unlike me. "You should stop playing cards with Hidan," Tobi said in his deep husky voice. I stared at him confused and he laughed, "look at you, next thing I know you will be carrying a scythe with you and start sacrificing people that lord of his."

I looked at him and smiled at his stupid comment, "Tobi, why you act like a child in front of everybody else?" he scratched his head and shrugged. "Come on, I mean, I know you are not the weakling everyone thinks you are. I seen you in action and I think you are quite a strong man."

He stopped walking and sighed, "you see, I have a mission," he said looking at me. "A mission that I need to accomplish, so the less people know about me the better."

"I understand," I said, "but what's with the mask?"

"The less people know, the better," he said and kept walking.

"I landed a hit on you once, I think I deserve to know," I said with a flirty smirk on my face.

"Izumi, I am not Itachi," he said walking towards me. He reached for my faced and caressed the side of my face, "as beautiful as you are, I assure you that you bowing your lashes at me won't make me talk."

"Well at least I tried," I said walking away from him. There was something Tobi was hiding and I wanted to find out what it was. He was truly powerful and that fact that he was hiding his powers from everyone else was making me wonder. We walked quietly until we reached a river, I washed all the blood from my arms, face and my neck. I could sense Tobi watching me as I cleaned up. Once I was done, I filled my water jug and went to seat on a log. As soon as I sat down, he stood up and went to drink some water. He moved his mask slightly to the side exposing half of his face. I was annoyed as I only could see his lips and his jaw.

"Are you really that eager to see my face?" He asked as he put his mask back on, he knew I was looking at him.

"Well it's curiosity, mostly," I admitted.

"Did you ever saw Kakashi's face?" his question caught me off guard. He knew Kakashi? Now I was more intrigued to find out who exactly was under that mask.

"I did," I said looking straight into his only visible eye, "multiple times actually."

"Yeah I figured it most be hard to kiss with a mask on," he said walking past me.

I stared as he passed by me, "you seem to know a lot about me and Kakashi," I said annoyed.

"I know, he liked you, but obviously not enough, since he never looked for you." I don't know why but his words hurt me. "You saw it yourself, he didn't even go to your funeral," Tobi said looking back at me. I looked at him with an expressionless face. He pissed me off, but I wasn't going to show him that.

"Yeah, you are right," I said walking towards him, "but that doesn't explain why you know so much about him." He leaned back when he saw how close I got to him. "What is it Tobi, do you have a crush on the man?" I teased him, "if you do, I understand, he is quite a handsome and much better kisser, you know."

I knew I had trigger something on him, I could sense his chakra shift. He immediately pulled me closer to him, lifted his mask half ways and kissed me. His action, caught me off guard, I saw half of his face for the first time ever. He gripped my hair tight to prevent me from moving as he pressed his lips harshly on mine. I summoned a kunai and tried to stab him but I just went right though him.
