The Fourth

Chapter 2

Every morning Itachi would leave in search of some food, or at least, that's what I thought. The problem was that Demons like me don't eat or drink anything. So every night he'd return and he would go off and rest, but when he thought that I was eating I was throwing away the food. I know it's wasting food but I don't want my identity to go out.

I've been doing this for about two years now. Itachi I believe hadn't noticed, but when he didn't leave in the mornings we would train and he'd teach me new jutsus and help me with the ones I already knew. "Itachi, stop getting food for me... get food for yourself, I don't need the food." I told him one day. "Why? What's wrong?" He asked curiously. "Well... my type we don't really eat or drink anything... i-it's complicated.." I sighed rubbing the back of my head. "I'm sure I can understand," He smiled. "O-Okay... umm... well.. I-I'm a-a... d-demon," I stuttered feeling myself hide in a dark corner. "Kuro, I already know that. Don't think I haven't been hearing you throw out the food that I bought for us," He chuckled at my shocked face.

I turned nine, and so far I've been with Itachi "Sensei" for three years. One day I fell greatly sick, we didn't know what was happening, or what disease I had caught. I was sneezing, coughing, had a temperature of 129, I couldn't open my eyes fully, my ears would go blurred, my breathing was okay but it was only short breaths. "Okay, so how are we going to help you if you can't eat anything or drink anything, eating and drinking count as medicine you know!" I shrugged. I've been like this for about a week, and I haven't gotten any better. "M-Moon water..." I said coughing. "Moon water? Is that how we're going to heal you?" He asked. I nodded wearily and Itachi left to get the Moon Water. Moon Water. There is such thing but I was only getting my pentagram, it should take at least a week to get this pentagram sealed, that is why I've been like this for at least a week. He came back ten to twenty minutes later with a bowl of Moon Water in his hands. He brought the side of the bowl to my lips and I drank it. The Moon Water helps hurry up the process of the pentagram, and every morning he brought a bowl full of Moon Water until I got better and was able to fight again. "Thank you Itachi, I appreciate it greatly, I'll do it for you if you get sick. But for now, I can just thank you," He nods and smiles. "I'm happy that you're okay. At least we know what to do when this happens again!" He laughed. But soon, that laugh would leave, and I'd be alone for who knows how long...
Where did Itachi go, why did he leave?
