Miyuki Hatake : Kakashi's daughter

chapter 31

Man, I'm tired. It's morning now, I think. Kichirou is gonna be so mad I didn't show up for the mission. Then again, he can't blame me for it. I mean,

I didn't choose to end up chained to the dungeon of the Akatsuki hideout.

Itachi POV

I walk inside her house. Even the dangerous area she lived in was quiet at this time, 4 am. I slowly move towards her room, finding her sleeping soundly on the worn-out bed of hers.

I had no intention of telling Miyuki about the past or befriending her, but the orders came to me from Madara himself. I wonder, why Madara chose today to bring her in. Was it because he wanted her in the hideout before her mission or was there any other intention behind his actions? Did he personally know Miyuki?

I enter further into her room and a sudden kunai is thrown in my direction. Even with her eyes closed, her accuracy was perfect. I grabbed the Kunai before it stabbed me. "Who's there?!" She yelled.

"It's me."

"Itachi? It's the middle of the night..." She rubs her eyes and puts on the lights.

"You keep a kunai in your bed?" I ask.

"Well, with all the stuff happening you always have to be on guard, you get it." I nod.

"Why are you here at this time anyway?" She asks with a confused look on her face.

"I need you to come with me."

"Where?" "I can't tell you right now but you'll know soon."

"And, we are going right now?"
"Yes."

She thinks for a second, "Alright get out of the room I need to change." Miyuki doesn't understand how the world works just yet. She has a lot to learn. Just because she knew of the past doesn't mean she should be trusting me so easily. She doesn't realize the depth of what I have done just by looking through my memories. I have now broken a promise, and I will regret doing this for the rest of my life.

"Why are you wearing a mask?" I ask her as she walks out wearing the mask that belonged to her mother.

"Well, I don't know where you're taking me so let's just say I'm wearing this in case I have to fight whilst hiding my eyes." I nod and ask her to follow me. She follows me to the outskirts of the village, not once questioning why. She's far more naive than she thinks. Miyuki shouldn't have trusted me.

Miyuki POV

"After everything I have done, you are a fool for trusting me." Huh? Itachi disappears then, revealing that it was a clone all along. I barely dodge the scythe thrown in my direction and immediately turn on my sharingan.

"I've got a bone to pick with you," Hidan says picking up his scythe and grinning.

"Is that so?" Ah, I see how it is. I was tricked. After looking through Itachi's disheartening life the last thing I would've expected was him betraying me. He knows I won't tell on him to these people for the sake of the village. How naive of me to trust him.

Hidan throws his scythe at me but I dodge it. Considering the fact that I defeated Hidan the last time they wouldn't have sent him alone again. Which means there are others in hiding. I can't sense any of them. I don't know where they are or how many of them are there. They are all skilled enough for me to be able to track them. They must be watching me right now, assessing my strengths.

"You damn brat!" He tries grabbing me but I dodge moving back. I don't have any intention to show Akatsuki my strengths. Who knows what they'll do to me? Right now, all I have to think of is escape.
