Wanting (Itachi Uchiha x OC) [Completed]

Chapter Eight: Thieves.

I guess this is my first mission in three years. My first mission as a member of the Akatsuki.

~~~

It's far too early in the morning to see everything properly. Things that should easily be within my range of vision aren't and everything is a slightly different color than it should be. Droplets of water formed on all of the greenery around us and there's a faint smell of dirt and water. It must have rained last night.

"Itachi, what's our mission?" Enough secrecy for me! I want to know our mission now. We've been walking for about a half hour with me being completely clueless. It makes me feel stupid.

"We're to travel to the Hidden Rain Village and take out a small clan to acquire a scroll of healing they possess." Taking a scroll? This'll be a piece of cake for me.

"How come?" I ask. I'm pretty curious as to why I'm wiping out a small clan village.

"Kisame's injuries go far beyond our ability to heal. This clan specializes in healing ninjutsu development." Itachi explained without taking his eyes off the path.

Seems simple enough to me, but I'm not done with my questions. "Does this clan have a bloodline limit?"

Itachi glances over at me this time. "No. They lack chakra and rely on their medical ninjutsu and natural talent."

How weak. A clan of ninjas relying on medical ninjutsu instead of chakra. That almost makes me want to laugh. It could be understood if they ran a hospital for ninjas but I wouldn't expect people who lack something as important as chakra to be ninjas.

Before I could ask any more questions, Itachi put an arm out to stop me where I stand.

"What the hell-" Itachi interrups me.

"Thieves." He said simply. Sure enough, 5 armed thieves emerge from the darkness of dawn. Three of them seem small, easy to kill. One is very heavy set, the other muscly. Then muscly one is likely their leader. I chuckle and pull my Katana out.

"Itachi, am I allowed to kill these men?"

"I suppose if you wish to kill them, you can." I smirk at his allowance.

"This is the easy part. Itachi, go ahead, I can take them." Itachi nodded, and jumped into a nearby tree, not to go ahead like I asked, but to watch me.

"Give it up, tittle girl. Your toy sword isn't going to help you here! We're grown men, more skilled than you!" The heaviest one yells, him and one of the scrawny ones come after me.

Slash.

With one swift slice from my Katana, the little guy is on the floor, blood pouring out of his stomach like a faucet.

"Aw, that's too bad. I was kind of hoping for more of a fight." I fake pout. My poison shouldn't be much of use here. None of these men are shinobi, likely, they don't know how to use their chakra.

One of the scrawny ones notice my leaf headband, complete with a slash right across the symbol, on my waist when I killed one of men. I suppose my cloak flew open.

"A ninja?" He asks, clearly more afraid than just moments ago.

"A rouge ninja. An S-Ranked criminal. Akira Hattori, good to see you fear me." I winked and my voice got low at the last part. I used his distraction to stab him through his chest.

Dead.

~~~

In a matter of a minute, I'd killed 5 men. This isn't so bad. Maybe I like this.

"Itachi, you can come out now." When I hear him jump down from a tree branch, I cut a piece of dry cloth from the muscly one and cleaned the blood from the place of my Katana, and put it in it's holster on my back.

"Quick as I recall." Itachi began to walk.

"I've had three years to train. I'm probably quicker than you remember." I nudged him with my elbow. He pulls me into him and kiss me, I kiss back this time.

Love.

"Itachi," I pull away. "I just killed five guys there's blood on my clothes." He seems confused.

"That's why I kissed you. I haven't seen you in that sort of situation in years, I was worried." Itachi grabs me and pulls me into a hug.

"No reason to worry for me, Itachi. This is my specialty." He should know, he was in the ANBU just as well as I was.

We have quite the walk ahead of us, I should save my energy and stop bragging to Itachi.
