Beyond Logic [Uchiha Itachi]

Chapter 4~ A Name!

A year already passed since Itachi last came to the little girl's shop, the shop had become more known by people which unpleased Ei, she made sure to never show them her real stocks and rare objects though, making sure the shop wouldn't become too known, but all her material and medics plant were so good that it became the talk subject of bad people and robbers.

And that without knowing what she really hided inside that old barrack of hers, otherwise her shop would have been over long ago

Ei was wondering what she could do to protect herself and items, she wanted to change place but she also wanted to wait until spring, cause there was a very rare rose that would grow in spring -due to Ei's calculations --and it only grew each 300 years.

A very beautiful rose which have a unique smell that can please anybody, plus it can't even fade if deprived of sun and water for a very long time, it can also live for generations if well entertained.

And that was an object, no, a living creature, maybe not important to normal people, but for a collector like Ei, it was very important, she just couldn't leave it behind.

She was thinking of asking a client to play the body guard until she left the place and this last will receive something from her.

But there was still months before spring and which client could she possibly ask, many traveled far away, others must not see her weakness.

Ei found herself in such a dilemma.

Itachi was sitting in the port's border watching some shark downside, under a great temple who belonged to the criminal organization, he was joined by his new teammate and new member of the Akatsuki, his name was Hoshigaki Kisame.

They had a little talk, exchanging some threat, where Kisame stated that they were both sharks.

In the end Itachi stood up looking at his new come teammate.

_"Also, one last thing, we are not fish." He noted.

They had a mission who took them to the same country where he met Ei years ago, he decided to go check it out to bought some weapon and re-watch his stocks of weapon, scroll, maps, he wondered if that girl was still present.

He soon got his answer, as he noticed that all the weapons and items of the shop were cleaned, polished and bright.

Kisame decided to go check on something and would join him later.

_"Excuse me." He said politely as he entered the shop.

Ei appeared beside him smiling._"Welcome!"

Actually if anybody saw Ei he wouldn't have figured that she was smiling, but since nothing can escape the genius Uchiha's sight, he noticed her smile.

He nodded respectfully.

Ei went in the other side of the table to be before the young man, she liked that client, he was polite and quiet.

_"What can I do for you, Itachi-sama?" She asked.

He wasn't surprised that she knew him, he knew she does.

_"Sama? You don't have to call me sama, so you remembered me?"

Ei nodded._"Of course, it's the third time we see each other after all."

Itachi raised an eyebrow, here he was surprised.

_"Two years ago when you were an Anbu, I didn't knew you back then, but you were the one who saved my life, second is last year, and now, so three."
