The Darkest Rose.

The Darkest Rose:Chapter 1

*Unkown Girl P.O.V* (The one that was talking before.)

          I sat in my dark velvet chair and did what I always did. I stared into space, seeing things others couldn’t even imagine. I didn’t see ghosts but I saw corruption in the happiest people. It was a gift of mine. I was able to see a person’s true feelings, and it made me very dangerous.

I could look at someone who had the brightest smile on their face and decipher what they truly felt with one glance. Then I could play it on them. I was manipulative and very sneaky when I wanted to truly be. I could find a man’s dash of anger and turn it into the creation of his inner demons.

I could send the most depressed people who were holding onto the little bit of happiness they had and make them commit suicide. It was a fearful gift that could destroy nations.

I was known as the Dark Rose because I was beautiful and at a distance good to admire. Though, If one got to close I could guarantee a little prick on their fingertip. Though, if you had insight, you would understand that the little prick meant your life.

I was a bounty hunter because I didn’t want to have to obey rules. Rules tied me down and I hated them. They made my parents forget their first born because of gender.

I had currently been targeted by Konoha. I have absolutely no true reason why they just now are targeting me but I honestly don’t really care. I have been targeted by all 4 shinobi nations except Konoha, but as of lately I have had to kill a few Leaf ANBU.

Now, in all honesty, I truly detest murder but I have had to live my life as a scavenger. In the end, friends are useless and will only be a hindrance. Its eat or be eaten in the real shinobi world. Sheltering your kids is crippling them and I am slightly happy that my parents didn’t care to do that for me.

Konoha has sent people from all different clans but they have never sent one from the Uchiha, except yesterday. Yesterday, as I happened to be near the fire country bounty lair, I was ambushed by 2 groups of ANBU.

Now, since I was used to random ambushes, I didn’t think much of them and disposed of the first group rather easily. Now the second group was composed of all the four noble Konohagakure clans; The Uchiha, Hyuuga, Akimichi and Nara clan.

I wasn’t expecting such hard opponents so I was shocked. Luckily, I had recently found a new summoning hawk. I immediately had signed a contract with it because it impressed me and was rather powerful. Also, I only owned three summoning. Yes, you guessed right- if you thought they were hawks.

I defeated the Akimichi and Nara, but the Hyuuga proved more difficult. Though, it didn’t compare to the Uchiha, he was a truly powerful person. Unfortunately, his sharingan drained him of power and I ended up killing him rather harshly because he had succeeded in pissing me off, which I tell you, is a nearly impossible feat.

I never got his name but since I knew he was going to die I had revealed to him a little secret that no one knew about.

Anyways, getting back on track, for around two years Konoha completely stopped sending ANBU after me and I just had to fend off from other nations. Around that time I was only 18 years old and I had just fought the Raikage. Let me tell you, that man packed a punch; Knocked out one of my kidneys with one of them.

I was resting because of my previous fight with the Raikage and I had accepted that I was nowhere near on par with that man. I wasn’t supposed to be walking yet but I pushed myself to move because I couldn’t stay anyplace long.

All of a sudden a single group of ANBU had jumped out of trees and stared at me. Though, only one of them had caught my eye. This teenager, as it seemed, only had overwhelming sadness and a medium sized ball of anger. In all honesty his sorrow rivaled mine and I admit I was slightly surprised.

From what I heard about the leaf village, everyone was happy and ignorant to the cruelness of society. Though, this kid made it seem like the village was filled with murderers and rapist. It rolled off of him in waves and made me feel a little depressed.

I looked at his mask which very much resembled a weasel or a type of vermillion. Suddenly, something deep within me had told me that I needed to know who he was.

I was at the moment also wearing a mask and it was mostly white with intricate black swirls surrounding my eyes. It was very much like an ANBU mask but something about it just didn’t seem so ANBU.

I looked up at the boy and saw thru his eye thing that he was also looking at me, directly in the eyes. I let my eyes widen a little, not that he could see, and then closed them fully with a sigh.

“Just when I thought that Konoha would leave me alone. I mean, cant a woman heal anymore nowadays.” I said with a sigh as the adolescent male had began rushing at me with lightning speed.

Within the next second I had my sword out against his and I was pushing back with the same strength as him. I was slightly surprised at how strong he was but dare didn’t let it show.

I jumped back at the same time he did and I sheathed my sword as he began making handsigns for a fireball jutsu. I copied them and I did them at an even faster rate than he did. I let my eyes slip to the sides ever so slightly as I saw my clones attacking his other teammates and that they were quickly losing.

I realized that I shouldn’t have done that when I saw that my fireball was smaller and his had managed to consume mine and scorch my shoulder as I moved to dodge it. I didn’t react to the scorch but I felt my skin blister up and it was extremely painful.

Next second I was fending myself off from him. I frowned deeply as he managed to push me back. I flipped backwards and skidded to a stop a little bit away from him. I really wanted to see what was under his mask so I had taken out my sword and he followed suit.

We began running at each other both of our steps silent. I zigzagged a little as I ran and saw that he kept on copying my every movement to the exact point. I briefly had a theory that this person could be an Uchiha but I put it to the side not exactly decided yet.

I reached him and we both ran past each other at the same time, appearing to have not cut anything. Though, in reality we both had cut each other multiple times. Now, it was time to see who had cut more.

I heard my mask fall to the floor the same time as Itachi and saw the slashed ribbon that tied it together neatly sliced. I coughed up blood when I felt the long slash across my stomach, and it was deep.

I heard Itachi cough also and I fell to my left knee when I truly felt the pain of all my injuries collapse on me at once. I had begun to breathe shallowly and I knew that I needed to end this soon.

I stood up painfully and turned around only to see that the boy was rushing up at me again, moving as if I hadn’t just slashed his chest 2 inches deep. I quickly analyzed the cut and saw that I had just missed his lungs.

I saw his face was framed with silky raven locks and he was extremely handsome. Though, what I had saw next made me freeze. I saw his sharingan which made him an Uchiha but what had frozen me was his face.

His face looked exactly like my Mothers. Their eyes and hair were exactly alike. I vaguely remember how my mother’s hair was parted but I knew it was something frighteningly similar to this.

I was too caught up in shock to notice that my clones had dissipated and his teammates were already sneaking up behind me. I had finally realized when I felt pressure on my neck and suddenly my vision grew black spots and I needed to ask something before I was fully unconscious.

“What is your name?” I asked trying to keep my voice clear as possible.

He looked at me with his blood red sharingan and said, “Uchiha Itachi.”

I let the darkness consume me as I had realized where that name was from.

Itachi Uchiha. Prodigy of the Uchiha Clan. Child of Fugaku and Mikoto Uchiha.
