Ai (Uchiha Itachi Love Story)

Blood Trail

Heyy this is the 2nd chapter lol. Enjoy :)

Ai's POV

The room on the first floor is so lighten up with the members sitting and chattering with each other. It feels so warm. I don't know what kind of place is this. Isn't it supposed to be some kind of S-ranked criminals hideout?

I walk to the other room, the kitchen. My hand reaches out to the fridge door and look inside. I take out a carton of milk and close the fridge. Before I realized it, someone with a mask covering half of his face is standing behind me. His hand reaches out to something, "you have to pay for that?". What? Why do I have to pay for this?

"I have no money," I said to him as I walk pass him and open the carton. The masked man walks inside the kitchen cheerily and said, "Kakuzu-san! Don't ask for money from her. She doesn't have any."

The one called as Kakuzu looks at the Tobi or Madara guy, "then you have to pay for her," he said. Tobi pulled out his wallet and give some coins to Kakuzu, "aww Kakuzu-san. I'm broke."

I sigh at the scene in front of me. Where the hell am I? Black tower with idiots?

Suddenly, someone with the orange hair and piercings appears in front of me. I almost choke in surprise, he always do this. I never felt his presence at all. He asked me to follow him to the living room with the others. I walk behind him. He walks towards a girl with blue hair, she's so pretty but her eyes are so cold. I guess my eyes are that cold too.

"As you can see, we're running an organization consists of S-ranked criminals here. You're our new member. We have 10 members now that you joined us. Tobi is not a member. He's here to help. I'm the leader here. My name is Pain," he said that straight with his stoic face. I continued drinking my milk.

"You'll be assigned to some missions now that you're here. Tomorrow, you'll be sent out to kill a jounin from the Stone Village. His head worth some money. You'll be going with Sasori," he said as a red-head man walks towards me. "I'm Sasori," he said. He looks so young, he might be at the same age as me.

"Ah! Why Sasori-dana? I thought he's my partner, um." the blonde ponytail, Deidara shout and pointing at the leader. Sasori-dana? How old is he exactly?

"How old are you?" I ask the red head man. "thirty two," he answered.

My jaw almost dropped at his answer. 32? Really? He looks so young! Did he use some kind of beauty treatment or justu on him?

The white sleek hair man suddenly stands up, "okay, Pain-sama. We got a new member. But, what kind of thing does that fucking little girl can do? Playing dolls?" he said as he stares at me again.

That's it. I've lost my temper now. I need to give him a lesson. I clenched my fist and open it slowly as black dusts infused by chakra appeared. The black dusts flew right at the white haired man's left arm and covered it. He looks surprised as his hand got heavier by the dust, then I said, "Kuro Dasuto no Ryushi"

The dust crushed his hand and it cracks, slowly, then his hans became another black dusts. Similar as the one I threw at him. He shout at me when he realized he has lost his right hand. "Give me back my hand, you damn brat!"

I smirked when I see him frustrated. The other members look at me, amused. The leader stares at me, emotionless as ever. "give him back his hand," he said. I shook my head no. Why would I? He needs to learn how to talk properly. Not just cursing every now and then.

The sleek white hairstyle man (what's his name again? Hidan?) looks at me angrily. I don't care. I'll do what I want. The leader put his hand on my shoulder as I walk to the stairs. I was about to go back to my room and sleep. What is it again? I'm tired.

"Just give him back his hand," he said. I sigh deeply. They won't let me go easily, aren't they? I clenched my fist again and the black dust appeared. Forming into a hand as I infused it with my chakra. When it's done, I give the hand to the leader. Pain nods and let me get back to my room while Hidan gritted his teeth. About to shout another cursing words when he realize he doesn't want his hand to be taken again.

I slammed my body to the bed immediately after I get back to my room. I'm so tired after the things happened yesterday. And earlier. I know I shouldn't done that to the white haired man, I ran out of chakra. Doing that jutsu earlier is draining my chakra away. I'm lucky I didn't passed out.

My mind keeps going back to yesterday. The day I murdered my family and all of the villagers. No, I don't regret it. Not at all. It was the right thing to do. I don't even have any heart to feel anything like 'regret'. I wonder if I'm still a human. I've killed more than hundred of people, I lost count of it. I've always been a mere pawn to my village. I was always sent to kill. I never failed my mission. That's why they always threatened me this and that. Kill or get killed. To be the murderer or murdered. I'm tired of things like that. I shook my head, erasing my mind from the things I've done in the past. I need to rest now. Everything's fine now. Before I realize it, I fell asleep.

My eyes opened slowly, not used to the lights after a long nap I've taken. I stretched my muscles and yawn as I tried to sit. It's almost night already. I've sleep for at least 5 hours.

I heard someone coughs badly outside. It sounds so painful as if it's an incurable disease. I opened my door and I saw trail of blood on the corridor floor. It starts from the door room next to mine. I followed the trail and found myself standing at the other end of the corridor. The glass door to the terrace. It's already open and I heard someone coughing again, it sounds a bit faint because of the heavy rain outside.

My foot steps outside and I see a man holding his mouth with his hand. Looks like he's preventing himself to make noisy sound. It didn't work though. His hand is covered with blood coming from his mouth. Now I know where the blood trail comes from. I walk to him, he didn't seem to feel my presence at all.

"Hey, are you okay?" I said as I pulled out a handkerchief from my pocket and give it to him. He nods slowly, still not looking at me and he coughs more. I put the handkerchief on his lap and sit beside him. The wind is so chilling it makes me shiver. "Why are you out here? You're sick. The rain isn't good for you."

He ignores my warning and he coughs more blood. What is going with this guy? Is he trying to kill himself? I stare at him. His black hair is covering his face, I can't see him clearly. His free hand looks as if he's trying to reach something. He can't find it. "me-medicine." he said slowly and he coughs more. Damn, he's in a serious problem. He'll die if this continues. Well, not that I care of.

I look around him and see a small glass bottle filled with some pills. I take it and give it to him. He took some pills and swallowed it right away. Then, after a moment, he stopped coughing.

"Thankyou," he said slowly as I stood up and about to walk back to my room. I almost didn't hear it if I were a little farther from him. "it's okay," I answered him. He stood up as well and finally he turned his head to me.

My eyes widen in shock as I see his face. That red menacing eyes with three symbols inside. That calm looking face, which is now looks like he's surprised too. He has dry blood on both side of his mouth. The black hair divided into two parts as some of his hair strands is falling right into his face. I would never forget his face. Not even for the slightest of it.

"Yo-you!" I said to him. My voice is trembling in shock as I point my finger at him.

"Ai,"

There, he said my name, and my mind flashes to the things happened about 6 years ago.

all righttt this is the end of chapter 2 lol. andddd I just realized I made the character Ai looks a lot like Enma Ai in Jigoku shoujo. I wasn't trying to make her similar with Enma Ai. I just love the name Ai and red eyes and long black hair. That's all. Well, at least I didn't make her has straight bangs like Enma Ai lol. Anyway, thanks for reading :)
