Cycle of Pain [Uchiha Itachi]

Chapter 5

"Hmmm, I thought I have grasped with your personality but it looks I'm an amateur." He said before taking a bite on his onigiri. 

"Your fault for thinking like that." I told him. "I'm not into romance. Not now, or maybe never." Not yet. 

"Why?" He asked. Confusions are evident on his onyx eyes. "I beg your pardon for prying, I am purely curious." 

I stopped for awhile. I didn't talk nor did any noises. I just stared on him. I'm debating whether I'll answer or not. I let myself fall into slumber by just staring on his familiar eyes. I could feel him extending his comfort as he stares back to lock our gaze. 

I released a painful smile, "I have no time for that. As you know, I'm a busy woman. And..." I stopped when a tear slide on my cheeks. It got Itachi's attention, he's now worried of my well-being. "I don't want to experience another loss." 

( - _ - )

Silence greeted me as I entered the root hideout. My body's now covered with blood of those ninja who have spotted me trespassing their hideout. No one really knew inside the village about this unless you're a Root ANBU yourself or you're Danzo's trusted dog. But I am me, I know everything. 

I used another lightning technique to kill a platoon who attacked me in the shadows. I let out a laugh after killing them. They thought they could ambush me like that when their KI's spiking. They are no veterans. This purge is no fun. I should ask Lord Third about immediate assassinating mission to release this frustration. 

"My, we'll be having a council meeting at dawn and now I'm feeling drowsy. Come on, give me your best shots!" I shouted at them, making them growl before attacking me only to die by my hands. They are no fun to fight with. I checked my watch and it says 3:00 AM so I guess, I still have an hour before 5:00 AM. 

I've been here since 12:00 AM so it's given that I'm growing tired. 

"What are you doing here?" Danzo's presence finally appeared in front of me. He's surrounded with his soldiers. Probably a newbie, an Aburame, I remember him. He's exceptional but I guess, he needs to die. He have chosen a wrong path to begin with. It's all his fault, he let himself be swayed by this old sly bitch. No, he's not a bitch. He's a Goddamn bitch. "I don't remember your mask. You must be from the Hokage's ANBU. You've done it. Treason is a good word." 

Oh, he must be thinking of  the Law that I have broken. Silly me, I didn't notified him that he's not a councilman nor a citizen of the leaf anymore, aren't I? Oh, it's his all fault, he didn't let me to explain. He's all bark and all. 

"Pardon my intrusion. You see, I'm an orphan, they didn't taught me anything about etiquette. They just told me to kill all the pest that I can sense." I laughed. This is funny. He now realized that all of his soldiers are lying on the ground, dead. "I may have to kill those 2 pest beside you, bigger pest." I laughed again when I felt them tensed. 

These fools didn't know death. What they knew is the feeling of inequality, pain, tremors and agony. What I felt before is everything, dark, gloomy... evil.

The two guards around him shouted in pain as they felt an immense amount of pain suddenly emerging on their body. Eventually, their eyes popped on their eye sockets, making them bleed and at last, died.
