It has been over two years since Itachi got his new weapon , he became used to it , not at first .. no .. no , at first .. it tried to corrupt him , searching deep in his heart , using his secrets and his weakness against him , showing him dreams about his old life , about his brother , family, and clan , how he slaughtered them . Of course, it didn't work out , his will was too strong and the Katana powers were too weak , not tasting blood in some hundreds of years can be pretty bad for some . But things changed when he started to hunt down stray devils  , it wasn't for pleasure or because he was simply a good citizen , they were coming too close to the mountain so they have to die in present he was fighting a girl , she was a nekomata ..rare species , almost to the brink of extinction and she was special to a Senjutsu user , the first one he meets beside his Master .

" Why are you fighting me , i didn't do anything wrong , i just want to hide for a while and then i will be on my way " her voice was trembling

"Well .. devils like you are never learning , 20 came here and none left , yet you are still coming on this mountain , i guess i was to merciful with you " activating his sharigan and looking her straight in the eyes 

"W-w-what are you doing ... don't come closer , please have mercy !! I didn't want things to go this way , i had to kill him or my little sister would have been ... "  she didn't need to finish that sentence because he already knew what she would say next .

His eyes came back to normal and  he said " I would listen to what you have to say , if i feel that you are lying , you die the next second , have i made myself understood ? " a cold gaze meet her golden eyes, and she only noded 

"A few months ago , our master started to make experiments on us , he wanted to create a new weapon and to have more power , i didn't say anything on those months , because i was afraid for my sister and as long as she was safe , i could endure everything , but one day he told me that my sister must to go next , not me ... that was the moment when i lost it ... i killed him , then his family came to attack me , i didn't have a choice ... it was for Shirone ... if i ... " but before she could say anything more , Itachi raised his hand and told her to stop 

"That's enough , you are free to go " 

"J-just like that ? " she couldn't believe it , she always heard stories about this guy , he was a warrior like no other and he was a devil just like her , exiled and looked down upon ... just like her .

"I know how it feels " his stoic face , changed into a sad one " to protect someone you love with everything you have , i understand , this is why i will let you go this time , but do not come in Kyoto again , others would not make the same decision as me"

" T-thank you , i will never forget this moment , thank you ! " she said while bowin her head and in a few seconds after that , she was gone from his sight 

It was sad in fact , she didn't meet such a beautiful girl in a long time , but girls could wait , he had to go in a mission , yes he was doing missions , he was not taking money or something , simply to help out his Sensei , after all he was still a devil and some Youkais still didn't trusted him . The mission was simple , go into an old church and kill those fallen angels , their activity over the years became more and more problematic , at first they talked with Azazel and it seems that he didn't know about the attacks , that could mean only one thing : A Group of Stray Fallen Angels , of course they strayed with a reason and that reason was Kokabiel , one of their Leaders , that lunatic was simply crazy and he tried to start another war between the 3 factions , over the years but Azazel always kept his leash tight , until one day ... he left . 

He was so lost in his train of thoughts that he didn't feel the person behind him and only in the last second , he took out his sword and stopped a blow from his Sensei staff
