The rain poured heavily upon Konoha and Nikki sat at Ichiraku`s, watching it, her yes cold and filled with tears.
"Itachi, I sense your chakta," she whispered coldly.
Nikki remembered meeting the handsome Uchiha and they had gotten along real well, despite him being evil. She had never told him who she worked for, only that she was a S-ranked missing-nin from Konoha like him and that she had turned her back on the village and never wanted to go back. She knew, that is she told him she worked for Orochimaru there would be alot of fighting and blood shed.
She stood up and walked out of Ichiraku`s, after laying the money on the counter.
She had all of today alone, she hadn`t woken Orochimaru and knowing him, he`d sleep late.
She ran through the village, her hair soaked, searching for Itachi, "I`ll regret this..." she whispered as she continued on, finally running into a man who wore a cloak.
She looked up in his eyes, the were just like Sasuke`s, and his hair was black, and from what she could tell was in a ponytail, "Itachi-san...." she whispered.
He smirked, "Nikki-chan... how are you? I sensed you here, but, I sense something else, a chakra, one very reconizable," he smirked, "Orochimaru`s."
She looked away, "I`ve been fine, I`m here to see my sister, nothing else."
He smirked and grabbed her hand, "Nikki-chan, I know you are married to Orochimaru, and, I`d like nothing better then to take something from him, especially you."
She yanked her hand away from him, "Too bad your personallity sucks, and you killed one of my friends families."
Itachi's eyes narrowed, "Nikki... Orochimaru is worse, you know that, right?" He asked this as he tilted her head up so that she looked into his eyes.
"No, Orochi-kun is a very kind person to me," she muttered, trying to look away.
He laughed, grabbed her arm and started to drag her off, "I should knock you out, but what fun would that be?"
She tried to get away, but, Itachi was strong, even Orochimaru had said he was afraid of Itachi to an extent, and now Nikki knew why.
Kelsea ran around the corner, but was shot away by Itachi who quickly punched her and she flew against the wall.
Kisame stepped beside Itachi, "You took too long, decided to come and see what was holding you up."
Kisame walked up to Kelsea and kicked her over the head.
Nikki finally managed to break free, she ran to Kelsea and pushed Kisame away, "Kelsea-chan, I`m so sorry, please, once I heal you, go, go get Orochimaru, Neji, Shikamaru, Sasuke, and Naruto, please," she whispered, hugging her twin. Her hands started to glow green as she started to heal the wounds.
Itachi smirked, he had obviously let Nikki go on his own free will, "Once the girl has gone, grab Nikki and lets go...."
She healed Kelsea and the girl ran off, to help, and Nikki was dragged away by Kisame and handed over to Itachi.
"Why would your old friend help you? Naruto-kun has no reason to help you, and he is the hokage, if he doesn`t want to help, there will only be Orochimaru, and mabye your sister who isn`t as strong as you," he hissed into her ear.
These words stabbed her in the heart, "No, my friends won`t let me go with you, especially not Sasuke-kun, not even if he is mad at me."
"But, he`d be helping Orochimaru, why would he do that?" Kisame stated, no sign of worry on his face.
"Because, we were best friends," she cried, with that, Itachi picked her up, as a sign this conversation was over, Nikki sighed, her bangs now in her face from the wetness of the rain dampening her hair, "I`m sorry," she whispered.
The rain fell, and she said she was sorry, that was all she could say.
I`m Sorry
