Another deep exhale left me as I waited for the two people I was to join up with for a mission. I was a little restless for an obvious reason, and couldn't stop twiddling my toes.
A little more than two months had gone by since I became a member of the Akatsuki and completed missions assigned to us. As such, I had completed solo missions as well as team missions while keeping the blood staining my hands to the possible minimum. Four of the members that I had spent time with were not as maniacal as I had thought they would be, besides Hidan san perhaps, and even seemed quite normal. However, I was unsure of what I would see when I met the two I was waiting for now - well, I was a bit more concerned about meeting the traitor Uchiha than his partner that I expected to not be very different from Kakuzu san, Hidan san, Deidara san or Sasori san.
Uchiha Itachi was known to be Konoha's cold blooded murderer, a man who had slaughtered his own clan for power at the mere age of thirteen. He had but spared anyone besides his younger brother, even killing his own parents - how he had had the stomach to do such a thing was beyond me.
Well, I didn't understand rogues or their desire to kill for no reason to begin with, and the same applied here as well. But, in all honesty, I was a little uneasy about meeting him because of the Sharingan that he possessed and the fact that he had always been considered a prodigy. He had served in the ANBU too, which made it all the more obvious just how strong a shinobi he was. He was one I was perhaps better off steering clear of. Unfortunately, being a floating member of the Akatsuki ensured such situations.
It was an agonizing half an hour wait until the two man team turned up at the rendezvous point. A deep breath had me composing myself as I stood and looked at the two men in front of me, both wearing the Akatsuki cloak.
"Heh, it seems that Hidan san's nickname does suit you," spoke Kisame san, the taller of the two. He had a grin upon his lips, his sharp teeth visible clearly, while there was a playful twinkle in his beady eyes. He had an appearance that mildly resembled that of a shark and carried a huge sword on his back.
"I'd be grateful if you didn't use that nickname though," I spoke to him with a small smile. "It's bad enough that I have to hear it from Hidan san all the time."
"I don't plan on calling you that, don't worry," he said with a chuckle. "Would Sumi san be alright though?"
"I can work with that," I answered with a nod, my smile widening slightly. "It's nice to finally meet you in person, Kisame san."
"It's nice to meet you too, Sumi san," he replied, his grin still in place. Kisame san seemed friendly enough, giving me the feeling that we would get along with each other without any trouble. I wasn't sure how it would be with his partner though.
Turning to look at Itachi san, I suppressed a cringe as I met his Sharingan gaze. "It's nice to meet you too, Uchiha Itachi san."
