My Akatsuki Love Story

Chapter 1 (Both characters are 12 years old)

Alice looked up quickly at the sound of footsteps not too far from where she was hidden expertly in the forest. She cocked her head towards the sound and heard someone talking to themselves quietly. From the sound of their voice, it was a male.
“I don’t care what they say, I AM going to be the next Hokage. I’m going to be the best ninja ever! They’re all gonna regret what they’ve said, believe it!!” The voice said, full of anger and determination. “And… And Sakura is going to love me, I know it. She’s gonna love me more than she ever loved that Sasuke Uchiha.” Alice’s eyes widened at the mention of the Uchiha boy. The first person she thought of was Itachi, the man who had killed his whole family, then run away like a pussy.
Then she remembered one day, when he had come to talk to her and a little boy had followed him. Itachi had smiled weakly and introduced him as his little brother, Sasuke. Sasuke had smiled at her and she had just stared at him, confused by how similar he looked to Itachi. Little brother, Alice had never heard that phrase. She didn’t know exactly what it was, at least not that she could remember. But the wolves that controlled her were curious, so she said the first and last sentence that Itachi would ever hear her say out loud.
"What is a 'little brother'?" Alice watched as Itachi's eyes widened and he gasped. Then he chuckled, shook his head, and answered. "Little brothers are a part of your family that follow you around a lot and annoy you. And sometimes, they even look like you!" Itachi put Sasuke into a headlock and scratched his head. "Right, Sasuke?" Sasuke struggled and yelled for Itachi to stop, but he didn't. Alice watched, curiousity and confusion clear on her face. Then, in one quick movement, Alice grabbed Sasuke and pulled him out of Itachi's grasp. Itachi looked from Sasuke, who was now clinging to Alice's leg, to Alice herself, who glared back at him, anger in her eyes. Itachi held his hands up in defeat. "Okay, okay. I'll stop." He said. Alice glanced down at Sasuke, then threw him towards Itachi and ran off.
Alice was pulled out of her thoughts by the sound of the footsteps coming closer. She tensed, then slowly relaxed as they faded into the distance. Alice heard rustling from behind her and whirled around to see Nightmare laughing hysterically.
"You should have seen your face!" Nightmare laughed. Alice simply stared at Nightmare with a look on her face which scared the living crap out of her. But she was used to it, since she had been friends with Alice since they had met, when they were both 8 years old. "Hey, Alice, I found a place for us to stay." Alice's eyebrows raised, as if to ask where it was. Nightmare smiled and continued. "It's a cave, but it's warm and safe. And hey, you might even get to socialize with some of the guys there!" Nightmare giggled at the last part, simply because she knew that Alice was not one to socialize with anyone, and would rather blow the world up before she would socialize willingly.
Alice felt something in her gut, then turned away from Nightmare so that she wouldn't see the tears pricking at her eyes. Nightmare frowned and lightly touched Alice's shoulder. "What is it? I was joking about the socializing thing. You don't have to." She said gently. Alice shrugged her hand off. Nightmare pulled a notebook and pen out of her kunai pouch. "Here, use this if you don't wanna say it out loud." Nightmare handed them to Alice.
Alice looked at the objects for a few seconds, then quickly grabbed them, wrote something down, pushed the paper into Nightmare's hands, and dissappeared. Nightmare frowned in confusion, then looked at the paper and read it.
My dear friend Nightmare, I have to go -DEATH- and find another home. I wish I knew why -DIE BITCH- I feel this way, but I don't. All I know is -I'M SO HUNGRY!!!- that I must go. I am sorry -LET ME OUT!- if this seems sudden to you. Goodbye. DEATH TO ALL, Alice.
Nightmare smiled at the parts in all caps, since that told her that Isanity was getting restless in Alice's skin, hungry and wanting a fight. Then a deep voice sounded from behind Nightmare. "Are you ready yet?" A lighter, sweeter voice chimed in. "Leave her alone. She'll tell us when she's ready." The two voices started to argue, but Nightmare cut in before they could get very far. "I'm ready, Zetsu. Let's go." Nightmare turned and followed the half-black, half-white plant away from the forest.
