The Broken Angel (Itachi Fanfic)

Chapter 3

I woke up on a couch that was not in my house. I took a look around and soon recognized who's house it was.

"That was a close one Itachi" said Shisui.

I sighed. "Yeah."

"You want me to fix that up?" he asked.

"Sure" I replied.

I had a small cut on my face and he placed his hand on the cut which was on my cheek.

Shisui was very concentrated and I was kind of confused as to why.

"Shisui, why the face" I said laughing.

"Well someone has to take care of that pretty face of yours" he said.

Shisui finished patching up my cuts and all that and said "How's ANBU?"

"You gonna cut me if I say something bad" I said jokingly.

Shisui replied imitating father "Yes Itachi, There'd better be good news."

We both laughed for a bit and then there was a knock on the door.

We both went downstairs and Shisui opened the door to find his comrades from the Leaf Police Force.

"Hey Shisui" said one of the ninja.

"The Hokage assigned us our missions already so we'd better get going. Sorry Itachi."

"No problem" I said.

"Alright Itachi, I'll see you later" said Shisui.

"Bye" I said.

A few minutes after they left I went back home to change into my ANBU gear.

I rummaged through my drawer, found and out on my mask, then left my own house to receive my mission.

I went into the Hokage's office where Kakashi was patiently waiting for me.

"There he is. You're just in Time Itachi" said the Hokage.

"Alright so..." said the Hokage while flipping through his stack of papers.

"Ah there it is. Kakashi, Itachi, you two are to go to the Sand village. I want you two to track down and kill a man named Tsuki. He has killed their village elders more than once, making the Sand vulnerable to its enemies. As their allies, it is our job to protect them when needed. You are to begin your journey there when I dismiss you. Questions?" he asked.

"No" I said while adjusting my mask.

"You are dismissed" he said.

Kakashi and I were already at the village gate.

Kakashi noticed the cuts on my arms and legs and then looked at me.

You wanna tell me what happened?" he asked while walking.

"No..." I said quietly.

"Come on 'Tachi. I've known you for quite a while now. It's not like you to keep something a secret for this long" he said.

My eyes teared up but he couldn't see it. Or at least I didn't think he could. A few years managed to slip out from my mask and Kakashi stopped.

Kakashi took my mask off as I turned away from him.

"Look at me" he said.

I turned around and looked at him with tears streaming down my cheeks.

I breathed shakily and slightly trembled as he observed all my cuts and wounds.

"Itachi, you know that if we waste time on this mission, we will get in trouble. I'm not moving until you tell me what is going on. I know the look of a recent injury Itachi, so don't lie to me" he said.

"Are you doing this to yourself?" he asked.

"No" I said with my voice breaking.

"Then who is doing this to you. And why haven't you said anything?"

"Because.."
