//Kurohyou// (Akatsuki love story) #3

I giggled at Deidara’s stupid face he was making to mimic Sasori. He was telling the story of when he blew up one of Sasori’s puppets and howhe tried to turn Deidara into a puppet then bum him to his death. He seemed to be happy that I was enjoying his story.
Mizu was goingon about snicker barsto Itachi. I was having a good time.
"So, how'd you get away from Sasori?" I asked.
"I hid 'til he was calmed down, un"
"Well, that’s a great way for a S-ranked criminal to stop from dying... to hide"

He smiled. I felt my heart flutter. I ignored it. I love Sasori... that’s all.

He put his arm around me and put his mouth to my ear, "Sasori wouldn't have a chance against me, yeah"

I pushed him off. He got his smug smirk on.

"And that why I like snicker bars" I heard Mizu finally finish her story

".... They sound okay...." Itachi responded subtly. Why does he only talk to Mizu?

"Hey, weasel. Why do you actually pay attention to Mizu and not me?"

"...Cause your not important..."

"Yeah, did you hear that, Seika, your not important, un"

"Shut up, you douche" I sneered hitting him on the head. I rubbed at the spot. I smiled smugly.

"... Do you even know what that means? Hm"

"Yeah, a bag of shit"

"Uhh, no it means shower in French"

Itachi and Deidara both gave us blank looks.

"No, its a bag of shit"

"NO ITS NOT!!!"

"... Your both wrong"

"Oh, what does it mean? Itachi-kun" Mizu asked sweetly. An obvious act.

"... Deidara you tell the idiots..." Mizus face fell a little.

Deidara looked at our blank faces and burst out laughing. Itachi soon covered his mouth.

Shit, I know that chakra.... Alex and Andrea... The two ANBU leaders of the Fire Village. They must have sensed my chakra or our laughter.
The ANBUs came out one by one. In front of us were of course Alex and Andrea. The ones that locked me away. Shit they know im the fire panther demon.
"Ahh, Seika. Nice to see again" Alex sneered. Her black hair falling in front of her face.
I raised an eyebrow, "Yeah, sure nice"
I felt the curious stares on my back. I smirked.
"Ready to get your ass kicked.... again"
She glared and started laughing. She thought she was going to win against us? Fat chance! Andrea smirked and glared at Mizu. She returned the thought and gave her a smug look, acting superior then her pitiful existence. Andrea got pissed and charged at Mizu. Mizu saw it coming and grabbed her arm, swinging her into the bushes. She gave me a small wink, signalling that she had Andrea covered and jumped after her. Out of site.
It was Deidara’s turn to take action. Deidara jumped into the air and exploded at least five ANBUs heads. He jumped onto his own bird and lead the rest of them away from the scene
It was just me, Itachi and 7 ANBU. Everyone else had their hands full with their own business. But the real question was… Could me and Itachi handle it? …Of course we could, we are in the Akatsuki.

"I’ve waited for the day I could kill you" I smiled evilly. I felt someone tense up behind me and I made the mistake of turning around to see whom it was.
Alex saw her opening and launched at me with a kunai grasped firmly in her hand. Itachi glared and blocked Alex withhis own kunai. He gave her a small glare, physcing her out. He pushed her back and gave me a small nod before leading the rest of the ANBU away from us and into the forest.
It came down to this. It was just Alex and me. And I was going to win, no matter what.
I did a line of hand signs and finished with tiger. I took in a huge breath of air and blew a fire barrier around us, making sure that no one interfered, well maybe Mizu, but she had her hands full with Andrea.
Alex glanced around us, examining the situation. I took this to my advantage and finished a few more hand signs. I blew out a dragon shaped line of fire. It roared and crackled as it streamed itself at a deadly speed towards my enemy. Alex felt the heat and gasped as her defeat burned before her. She screamed out as the fire hit her dead on.
I smirked, thinking about how strong I've become, before a strong kick sent me flying into my own barrier, burning me only slightly. I growled and jumped back up with anticipation. Alex smirked at me in a ready stance, she was completely unharmed.
I growled and decided to use that move, it was risky, but had a good percentage of me winning. I jumped into the air and spun around ink the air and finished another pattern. I blew out balls of fire which got sent in every which direction. I couldn't tell what was going on, but I had a good feeling. I landed with ease and my head spinned, but I could make out more bodies.
"Shit... I should've made Pein teach me how to make the roof"
Forests of shurikens were sent flying at me, millions landing dead on. I coughed out blood as it rolled down my cheek.
I was dizzy and hurt. I felt sick, and all of the ANBU came running at me, all barring their weapons. This was the end for me... everyone else was miles away, battling their own fights. I smiled, I wasn’t strong enough. I closed my eyes and waited for death to come. Blood splattered across my cheek, rolling down to my neck... but there was no pain. Death wasn’t consuming me… It wasn't my blood. I opened my eyes and to my surprise, a wave of blue flashed before my eyes.
Mizu!!!
I could tell that she smirked smugly as she let down her arms.
"Run..." She said softly, coughing out blood.
I could tell my just speaking those words to be that she was in pain. Tears rolled down my face, joining Mizu’s blood, and mine "No, Mizu! I can't-"
"I said run..." She coughed up blood once more, "… Please don't be sad... just run away from here as fast as you can..." Her voice was growing faint.
"Mizu-"
"I SAID TO FRIGGEN RUN. GET YOUR ASS OUT OF HERE, I’M NOT GOING TO LET US BOTH LOSE OUR LIVES"
I scrambled away from the scene. Till I heard more metal clanks and a scream. I fell to my knees and frantically search for Itachi or Deidara’s chakra. I soon felt Itachi’s.
I ran as fast as I could. Which wasn't very fast since I couldn't feel my legs anymore. I kept getting closer, but dropped to the ground and coughed up blood. I felt dizzy.
"ITACHI!!!" I screamed, "HELP"
Suddenly he was in front of me.
"ItsMizushegotcapturedbytheANBUs.Helpher" My words mashed together.
"Don't worry. Ill save her..." I lost conscious.
I woke up in a dark room, completely isolated from everything ease in this shitty world. My body hurt like hell, most of my wounds were still open and spilling out fresh blood. I couldn't see straight thanks to that. But I heard the voice clear as a bell.
"Well, well, you finally woke up..." Alex's voice echoed through the room.
She slapped me across the face, sending me flying across the room. She walked over to me and stepped on my damaged stomach.
"Where's Andrea!?!" She yelled into my ear.
I winced and answered her, "I killed her... It was quite fun, the water went all red and-"
She stabbed me with a kantana. I screamed out in pain as the sensation of metal through my flesh returned.
"YOU BITCH!!!" She pulled it out and kicked me in the open wound, "From your chakra, I can tell that you’re the second panther"
"No, I don't know what you’re talking about..."
She slashed me across the back, my spine now unable to move.
"Don't lie to me! What are you planning?!" I could tell that she was referring to the Akatsuki.
"That’s our secret" I snarked at her.
I growled and pulled out her kantana once more, putting it up against my neck. I shivered at the cold metal touching my bare skin. I was going to die right here and right now… and I was prepared for it.
"...I'm sorry, Seika"
She swung her arm into the air and was ready to take my life. But that familiar chakra entered the room... But with all of that blood loss, I couldn't remember who it was.
"Wh-wah-" She was cut off by her own life ending by a slit to the throat.
Her cold dead body hit the floor with a hollow thud. I gasped and opened my eyes, meeting glowing red ones.
"I-Itachi.." I mumbled out, trying to move. But that ended painfully.
I screamed slightly as my body told me no. Itachi, also, told me not to move as he leaned down. He carefully picked me up off the ground. I winced slightly and grabbed onto his cloak.
"I-I'm so sorry Itachi..."
"About.."
"You had to come all this way.... to.. Rescue..." I tried to finish my sentence so hard, but I slipped into a comma.
Damn....

"Seika, please be ok, un" I know that voice. But from where. I tried to open my eyes even though my head shouted out at me not to. I already had a major headache it couldn't get much worse. I fluttered my eyes open to see the concernof the blue eyes.

"Deidei..." I whispered. Everything was fuzzy.

"Oh, im glad your awake. Now flip over so you don't die, yeah"
"Huh?"
"You burned your back, un. I healed all your other wounds but I was scared to flip you over, un"
"Oh" I flipped over still not able to see right. I screamed as his hands slowly took off my shirt.
"Ah, I’m sorry, un. I have to" I could hear the hurt in his voice since he had to put me through pain. I nodded.
His hands pushed down on my back. I winced. I didn't want to put him through any pain too. The pain started tosoothed. I tried to remember what happened, but all I could remember was 'Douche' and how Mizu thought it meant shower in French...
Mizu...
The tears dripped off my chin. I search through me for any of her emotions...none. She was gone, forever. I started to sob.

"I’m sorry, Seika. I’m trying to help it, un"

It wasn't physical pain I was feeling. I just lost my best friend... my sister. Harder sobs broke through me as I started to shake. I didn't even feel the pain in my back or any where anymore.
"It’s my fault... I killed her it’s my entire fault. I was to weak" Deidara sighed and pulled me into his lap.
"Shh, its ok, un"
"No its not" I couldn't breath. The pain was too unbearable. I didn't know what to do. I felt like I had nothing left. I didn't even care that all I had on was my undergarments.

"I’m sorry. Deidara. I couldn't save her and... and I tried so hard" Sobs broke through me again.

"I know you did. You always try your hardest. And if you did there’s nothing else you could of done, hm"

"She told me to run...I...I could of stayed. I could have helped her. I could of died instead. I'd rather be dead right now"

"Don't say that, un" Deidara scowled.

"Why lie?"

He hugged me harder, "Because I'd be sad if you died, yeah"

I buried my face into his chest and tried to ignore the guilt that rushed through me. Soon, there was no pain, just numb. I'd rather the pain come back.

"Deidara?"

"Yeah, un"

"Thanks. Your all I have left now..." I drifted into a sleep full of my worst nightmares.

Deidara’s POV

Seika cried herself to sleep in my arms. It hurt me to see her in so much pain. I'll help her through this... But is Mizu really dead? I sighed and rocked Seika back and forth. Even though she was asleep the tears still ran down her pale face. I smiled a little. She was like an angel, no even the angels would be jealous... I want to see her happy and for her to get together with Sasori, But hedoesn’t feel the same way. If she would just realise how I feel, I could make her happy... And when she finds out he doesn't love her back, it'll break her heart.

I leaned down and kissed her forehead lightly," I love you" I whispered to her still form
My body shook against a soft, cold wind, waking me from my peaceful, empty sleep. But as I regained consciousness, my physical pain return. I whimpered, this time, I remembered not to move. The grass tickled the back of my neck, giving a sign that I was outside... the sky was black. I moaned and opened my eyes further, wanting so hard to sit up. So I wanted to try. When a strong, gentle hand pushed me back down. I gasped and opened my eyes all the way, barely making out Itachi's sharingan. I sighed in relief.
"Please don't move... Mizu" He cooed softly.
"W-where are we?" I asked weakly.
Itachi's eyes parted from mine for only a second to look around, " About 100 miles away from Konoha"
I winced at that name. Now I had bad memories there as well. But, how was Seika right now? Is she all right? Is she alive? I bit my lip and shifted my gaze to my arms. I was missing my cloak, revealing my well-bandaged arms. I looked over at my legs. My pants were rolled up to my hips and were as well, bandaged. My eyes widened as I looked up at Itachi.
"Did you-"
"Yes I did" Itachi cut me off, saving my words, "I'm going to do your back as well.... but, I just wanted to make sure if it was alright with you" He paused and looked away.
It took me only a few seconds to catch on. I had to take off my shirt and possibly my bra if it got in the way, which I was sure that it was already cut in half by the kantana. I couldn’t feel anything right now, so I couldn't tell.
I blushed a deep red and looked away, nodding slightly. Itachi bent down and gently flipped me over. I winced and snapped my eyes shut. He took of my cloak without me even feeling anything. Was that good... or bad? I couldn't tell, (If you don't get it. use your imagination... what if some guy could take your cloths off without you feeling?) but my shirt was a whole new story. It rubbed against my skin as it opened scabbed wounds, making them fresh again. A single tear fell from my eyes. It hurt like hell! My newly exposed skin was covered in goose bumps against the crisp night air. I blushed even more, feeling completely helpless.
He didn't move for a couple of moments, just starring at my back... or something like that. I felt his harsh gaze on me, but I didn't know where. He soon snapped out of his trance and placed a soft hand on my back. I squeaked out a small scream, trying to keep my pain inside of me.
"This is going to hurt..." Itachi took his hand off and reached over to his medical bag, "...Tell me about your fight"
I gasped slightly. He was trying to distract me with something to keep my mind off of the pain.
"Well, after she was thrown into a tree to get her adrenaline going, I ran after her to see what was left. She was just a clone and disappeared in a cloud of smoke. She was behind me the whole time and threw a kunai at me. I just got slightly out of the way and let it hit a tree, so I could grab it and throw it back to gain me some time. I booked it to a small creek, to gain an advantage and waited for her to get in my range. When she did, I laid a barrier around us, with a roof so that there was no chance of her escaping. Then,I filled the room with water to give me a huge advantage! I shot water bullets at her to get her under thewater. Once she hit the bottom, I did that shark jutsu that Kisame taught me and ripped her to shreds. Well, that’s what I thought before she kicked me in the chin a sent me flying to the roof" I gasped in between whimpers in pain.
"That would explain this.." He rubbed around my bruise on my chin.
I blushed before continuing, "Yeah, and then I did a super secret move andmade a huge horned whale out of ice that pierced right through her and killed her for good"
I finished with a sigh as Itachi finished bandaging my ribs. I felt so embarrassed that Itachi had to do this for me and every time he touched my skin, I would blush even harder and eep. Itachi made my heart stop, even with a small glance, my heart would skip a beat.
Itachi sighed and passed me my shirt, "I could do your stomach as well..." He suggested in a small voice.
I blushed and stayed silent for a moment, letting his words seep in, "Y-yeah.. I was never good with medical aid anyways" I turned my back to him and slipped my shirt on, then rolled it up to my rib cage.
"Lie on your back, if it's not to painful" Itachi ordered.
I gulped and rolled over. I felt so exposed, even though I still had my bra on. Itachi looked down at my stomach wound… Well that’s what I told myself. He was looking at something.
”…Tell me about your sister”
I gasped loudly, how did he know about me and my sister?!
”W-who told you?”
”I figured it out… Seika was telling Deidara about how happy she was that you called her your sister”
That’s right, I forgot about that. I only told two people that I had problems with my sister… and that was Seika and Deidara.
”… W-well…”
”If you don’t want to tell me, then that’s fine” Itachi pulled out the medical ointment.
I bit my lip and nodded only slightly, “No.. I’ll tell you, I trust you enough”
Itachi nodded and dabbed the liquid onto a swab.
”Well, when I was born, my parents didn’t want me because… ummm, they only had enough money for one. My sister refused to give up her only sibling and stayed with me, leaving my parents..” I thought up an excuse.
I couldn’t tell him the real truth, not yet.
”… I don’t exactly understand” Itachi cleaned out the dirt.
I winced and grabbed onto the grass, ripping it out of the ground.
”I’m not done…” I stopped him from asking to many questions.
”I didn’t know that the entire time that she was planning something. When I was 7 or something close to that age, she left me alone in the middle of the night. She didn’t tell me where she was going or anything, so I got scared and ran out to look for her. I search the entire village trying to find her, but when I came to the gate…” I paused as tears rolled down the side of my face.
I closed my eyes as those horrible memories returned to me. The ones I tried so hard to forget. Why, Sister? You were my only family… why did you do that?
A soft material brushed against my face and wiped the tears away. I opened my eyes slightly and watched Itachi as he wiped the rest of them away with the sleeve of his cloak.
”…If you don’t want to-“
”She was there waiting for me to arrive… with uncountable teams of assassins” I finish my story, without my voice cracking or anything.
Not one sob, just a few tears. I was numb when it came to depression. I was never sad… and if I was, it was either I acted monotone, or it was something huge. In my life, I only actually cried once, and that was with my sister.
I decided to tell him the rest, “Then she pointed a finger at me and screamed so loudly that my eras still ring, “Mizu… never in my life I’ve ever loved you. You make me physically sick, you monster. You took mother and father away from me and left me with you, and I’m sick of it… so I’m solving the problem” Then… with those words, all of the assassins launched at me. I didn’t know what happened… but I snapped and killed everyone without any thoughts. Next thing I knew… I was covered in blood and dead bodies laid around me. And my sister… had her sword through her head, attached to the wall. And written in her own blood beside it was, ‘I’m back..’ “
I took a slow breath as Itachi tied the bandage tightly around me, making it hard for me to breath. But I think that was a good thing. He looked up at me with understanding eyes.
”They we’re your family… weren’t they?”
I nodded, keeping myself from remembering their faces.
”My clan was all made up of assassins…”
Itachi sat down beside me and touched my hand stilly, “ I was forced to kill my family, as well… But I left my brother alive… It was part of the plan”
”What plan?” I asked curiously, I told him my life story… I was only fair.
(SPOILERRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!!!!! SSSSSSPOOOOOOOIIIIILEEEEEERRR!!!!!! …. It’s the reason that Itachi killed the clan- DAMN NOW YOU WANT TO READ IT!!!!)
”Well, before Konoha was first founded, there was the Senju clan and the Uchiha clan. We were like oil and water, we were always in a long ranging war. But they finally came to a truce… but the only one who opposed it, was a man named Madara. Soon after the alliance, they made a pact with the land of fire, which wanted to help control, their territory. There began the system of one controlling village per country, with Konohagakure for the land of fire and so on and forth. For once there was peace, before Konoha burst into Chaos… There was a fight over the position of the leader of Konoha. The village chose Hashirama for Hokage, the Uchiha clan soon lost supremacy, and in order to protect the Uchiha clan, Madara took leadership and opposed Hashirama. But no one in the Uchiha clan would follow him. They all despised him… driven by his own desire for power. So he left the village. Bent on revenge, Madara challenged Konoha. And he was defeated in a place called “The Valley of the End”. They say he died there, everyone thought that and he was forgotten. Wanting to make sure there was never a traitor like that again, Hashirama’s younger brother gave the Uchiha a special position as a sign of a truce, to be the Konoha Military force. But the true reason behind it was to keep them under surveillance. Some noticed what was going on a rebels formed in Madara’s footsteps. But something happened that completely destroy the Uchiha clan… the Nine Tailed fox. And the only thing that could control such powers was the power of the Uchiha. And the elders suspected the Uchiha, it was a natural disaster, not the Uchihas. But they were suspicious of a rebellion. So we were forced to live in the farthest corner in Konoha and were heavily guarded by black ops. The Third told everyone that the clan was fine, but no one would listen… And the Uchiha clan formed a Coup D’Etat… to take over Konoha. So the Higher-ups planted a spy… and that spy was me” His words cut through the air like a hot knife through butter.
”…A-and then?” I was completely shocked by his story and didn’t want it to end.
”My own father was the leader behind it all, and I was ordered to join the Black Ops to spy on Konoha. But I opposed them, I gave the village information on my own clan. I was a ‘Double agent’…” Itachi paused.
”I was 4 when I first saw war… I saw so many people die. I was to young to experience it… War was hell. That trauma made me hate conflict. I can admit that, so the first thing I wanted to work on was peace. That was my first priority. I loved the village, and I was never wrapped up in the clan’s indifferences.. And the elders used that to their own advantage. And they gave me a special mission, an eye for an eye you could call it, the only person who’s a match for the Uchiha is a person with the sharingan…. My mission, was to annihilate the entire clan…”
He trailed off in thought, the painhe when through must’ve been unbearable. I rested a hand on his shoulder and gave in a reassuring look.
”I was face with a horrible choice… to betray my whole clan for the sake of the village… But if we started a civil war, it would give a chance for the other countries to attack. It would surely trigger a fourth ninja war, many would die, including people who weren’t involved in ninja work. All for the self-interests of the Uchiha clan. So I made my choice… I closed the book on the Uchiha history with my own hands. I took it all on myself… the antagonism. The blame was on me… and it wasn’t my choice. But I figured out that Madara was still very alive. I approached him and made him a offer. In return for allowing him to get revenge on the Uchiha clan, not to harm the village. He said he would help annihilate the clan, but the third tried to reach a truce with the clan. But as time passed… he failed. And… it all lead to that night. It was my duty… killing my own clan and leaving the village in dishonour… It was all part of my duty. Except I made a mistake… I unable… to kill my own brother”
