Wanting (Itachi Uchiha x OC) [Completed]

Chapter Eleven: Back Then.

Itachi's right, it's extremely small, consisting of only an inn, a few houses, shops, and a rather large building, made of stone and metal, rather than wood like the other buildings here. It's purpose is clearly to protect something of value. Perhaps the scroll?

~~~

"Is it in there, Itachi?" I point to the 'protective' building.

"Yes. The strongest of the clan reside there. They devote their lives to protect the scroll."

"Hm. Should we go in now, or wait a while? We have three days to complete the mission, and two to return with the scroll."

"Now." Itachi walked through the small road and to the door of the building.

"Stop there," A man with a patchy, black beard said to us and pulled out a small sword. "I'm obligated to kill you both on behalf of the Akagi Healing Clan if either of you take another step closer." Itachi stayed stone faced, while I smirked.

I look over at Itachi for permission, and upon receiving a nod, I swiftly pulled out my poisoned Katana. I wouldn't even need to kill him until after we had the scroll. The poison would eat at his already low chakra reserves. With a quick slice, he had a deep gash across his clothing. I kick him to the ground.

"How pathetic." Itachi opens and holds the door for me, and we go in and see a glass display with a scroll inside of it.

"That's the scroll, Love." The nickname's reappearance gave me a pink blush, hardly noticeable.

"Yes. There are others, watch my back." I walk over to the glass case and crack it open with my elbow. Ouch. Grabbing the scroll and allowing it's old book smell to waft into the air. I slip it into my satchel. Right on time, a few, maybe eight ninja emerged from the dark.

I felt two run after me, both slaughtered by Itachi. I kick a man down and stab through his body, I could feel the katana hit the ground underneath him.

"Ako, brother!" A woman, probably my age, yelled out.

Suddenly, I freeze.

~Flashback~

"B-brother, what are you doing? L-let me go!" I cried out. His hands snaked around my neck and tightened, not letting go. His black eyes were an emotionless void, not letting go of my gaze.

"Shut up, Akira. You've ruined my life! Ever since you were born you've done nothing but beat me. Mother and father no longer want me, they no longer want me around!" I felt myself slipping in and out of consciousness, but then, my bedroom window shattered, moonlight spewing in like a glass of water tipped over, and there I saw him, the boy I'd always been close with. Itachi Uchiha. The boy who saved me.

"Let go of her, Michiko!" He yelled and threw a large rock at his head, killing him.

"Michi? Itachi, you-you saved me?"

"Of course I did, Akira."

~Flashback over~

"Akira, are you alright? Akria!" Itachi yelled. I'm in his arms. I look around, and all those people are dead. Thank you Itachi. For the third time, Itachi Uchiha has saved me.
