A Meeting

[Itachi Uchiha]

Itachi stood among the hills of the land of sound, reflecting upon his past. He was a child prodigy, and was forced to slay his clan. However, the thing that hurt him most of his past, was having to lose his younger brother's trust and love. However, to protect him, it had been necessary. However, at times, he wondered just how necessary it had been. He had lost everything, roamed the lands as an outlaw. He just wished his life hadn't gone so wrong...

[Kanna Youkai]

Soft foot steps, the ninjas had called this place, the land of sound, so sound ninjas? Ninja’s that were sound, hollowed black eyes blinked in utter confusion at the sound. Ninjas were suppose to be soundless assassins. The women blinked again, her red hair falling within her eyes. She hadn’t been a ninja, no, kanna had been one of the only, samurai’s left in this dying world, and to add that on, the only female samurai. She held no ninja head band, no she held nothing, but the clothes on her back, and the blades on her hips. Two long katana’s.

The village had looked like a ghost town, she would be called a demon, but she didn’t care, the long horns protruding out of her skull, she could feel a sadness, that seems to feed her, out of all of them in this village. She blinked, and walked towards it, by the time she had gotten to the source, the sun had been setting, and the air had been chilled, her source had been wondering. She paused, and from behind, maybe twenty feet, she saw him, he had been dressed oddly, in a black cloak, with red clouds on them.

She stared at him, the sadness had been making her stronger my the very minute, now she knew better then too sneak up on a ninja, her hands hovering over her hilts, she spoke softly at first.
“Hello.” Yes much sadness had been coming off of this one, although the minimum of clothes she wore, she wasn’t cold. Only a shirt, that went just past her breast then stopped, and a matching skirt type thing, that cut down the middle of her waist, it was red, with black roses. When the ninja would turn around, he would notice something on her body.

Asides of the horns, and pitch black demon eyes, she had writing on the whole left side of her body. Was she cursed?

[Itachi Uchiha]

Itachi looked behind him, and looked up and down at the strange woman before him. He could tell she wasn't a ninja like him. She looked to be a samurai. As rare as it was to see samurai, it was even more rare to see a femaile samurai.

"It's quite rare for a female to be a samurai..."

He wondered why she approached him. With his known reputation as a criminal, he wasn't typically the guy who was approached. Had she not heard of him, or did she not care of his reputation?

[Kanna Youkai]

When he had turn, she had saw a better look at him. He had been rather pale, and only a few inches taller then herself, not including her horns, she blinked her eyes, his head band, had been the village of the leaf, scratched through. She blinked, a missing nin, that was what they were called. That would clearly explain why he was so sad. He must have missed his home, and his family. She blinked, just like she had. She could see, past his coal eyes, that fake mask, his emotion. “You are…very sad.” she spoke. “I can feel it, it fuels me.” she continued, she could see past his emotionless mask, his blank slate.

She had ignored his last statement, because she found it irrelevant. She hadn’t know who this man was, but he had lines under his eyes, had he not slept, or had they been from stress. She stared at him, then blinked, who was she to judge, now that she thought about it, why did she even approach him, a samurai was one with honor, and he had clearly gave up all of his, once he became a missing ninja. She blinked again, and her hands rested on her blades hilts, ready as if he would attack.

She had nothing more to say, to him, but she continued to stared at him. The demon lady she had been called, the demon hag. She stared at him. Of course she knew of a few missing ninja’s, but she hadn’t exactly saw them. So when Itachi would speak his name, or show his attack, she would know, and be lucky she would be fueled by his sadness, to defeat him. That is, if it came up to that.

[Itachi Uchiha]

"Sadness... hmph..."

Itachi's eyes narrowed. Had she been a mind reader? He doubted it. He saw the way she took her battle position. She was smart. You should never trust a member of the akatsuki. However, today was her lucky day.

"If you insist..."

He turned around, and had no interest in killing her. His back facing her may have left him open, but he never let his guard down Samurai lived by honor, though, and as such, he knew she wouldnt try anything dumb. Her honor would prevent her from attacking someone who wishes not to fight.

[Kanna Youkai]

She stared at him, and he seemed to say it disbelievingly, had he not believed her, or had he been trying to ignore her. She knew when her presence was ignored, she could careless. She stared at him with her pitch black eyes. She walked towards him, and stood a few feet away from him, staring down at the village. She blinked. “What is your name?” she questioned him, as if for him to tell her his name, she would know everything about him. She glanced at him, although it was not noticeable, but he could sense her eyes upon him. He was a rather fascinated creature. He had been more tolerant able then the ninjas she had met before, and he automatically realized she had been a samurai.

“And if you do not wish to speak your name, why are you a missing ninja?” she questioned, again. She normally didn’t ask questions, she normally let them roll by, but she had always been friendly to those who were friendly to her, even if it was a ‘humph’ about an emotion. She rested her hands on her blades, her guard was still up, unlike samurai’s, who had some honor, if a ninja saw any opening, they would attack. She stared down at the village again, it looked even ghostly from afar.

“I am Kanna.” she added. Kanna…it meant godless world.

[Itachi Uchiha]

Itachi turned his head to the samurai, who seemed to be curious about him. She was curious about why he was a missing ninja? "If your that curious.... because I slayed my entire clan, except my younger brother."

He turned his head back away from her, and added in, "And my name... is Itachi Uchiha." He wondered why she took such an interest in him. Surely one with such honor as a samurai had better things to do than make simple conversation with a missing nin like him. He began to walk off, figuring the conversation would die there, like it always did. After people found out why he was a missing nin, they treated him like a monster. Hell. He supposed if he killed off his entire clan, he deserved the harsh treatment.

[Kanna Youkai]

She blinked, and her eyes widened, as he said that. He killed his own kin. She blinked, she already knew who it was, as soon as he spoke about his past. Uchiha Itachi, he was strong. She blinked, then looked down, as he turned and began to walk away. As he walked she sensed the sadness, emitting from him.

She paused, and sighed. “I guess that is why, your are sad.” she spoke, and looked down at the town. “Everyone has their reasons, everyone does.” she spoke, and looked down, before, sitting down on the ground, her legs crossed, as she stared out into the horizon. “I am not afraid of you, Uchiha Itachi, murderer of the uchiha clan, nor do I think you of a monster.” she spoke, as if she read his mind, but she couldn't, she just had not right to call others a monster, when she herself, had been a demon. “Things happen for a reason.” she added, her hands still resting on her hilts, she stood up. “If you are captured by the past, you will never be freed to the future.” she spoke, before brushing the dirt off of her.

“I think I am in the mood for tea. “ she began. Then nodded her head. Tea.
