Darkness swallowed the land, the only light was from the half dimmed crescent moon. The dark storm clouds covered most of the sky including the moon. The low grumble of thunder could be heard somewhere in the distance, a sure sign of a storm. Most of the animals of the night had taken refuge preparing for the storm. However a lone silhouette sat on top of a ridge that over looked the gorge below. The figure was an Akatsuki, apparent by the cloak, and straw hat used in travel. The figure sat silently, either waiting for something or deep in thought.
A sound barely audible drifted just into ear shot. It was the screech of an owl. Probably from the patch of tree’s somewhere higher up the mountain. The missing-nin clambered to his feet, using his arms for support. He slowly trekked up the steep mountain side, placing his foot in a secure position every step of the way. Finally the missing-nin reached a small cave. The crackle, glow of a fire emanated from with I the cave. The Akatsuki member stepped in. The glare from the flames illuminated the mans face, revealing a set of crimson eyes.

Hyakka appeared behind the Uchiha member, her dark robes were flowing as the hard wind blew across the mountaintop. Standing there looking at him with her deep blue eyes, her mind was thinking as to how Itachi could fail to capture the demon. Her blue hair swayed in front of her eyes. Raising her right hand, she moved the blue out of the way. Leaping off the rock she was standing on, she walked slowly toward him with soft footprints. Her hands were together as she walked, she stopped only a few feet away form him. She was at the mouth of the cave seeing him standing there looking into what ever he was trying to look at.
"You know...You shouldn't be out in the open all the time...Uchiha Itachi...Sasuke might appear and try and kill you..." she said softly.

Itachi took little notice to Pein's partner, as he ventured farther into the cave. He slowly ambled over to the small fire he had built earlier. He sat down, next to the fire. The warmth, along with the orange glow washed over Itachi, illuminating his face. He took a few moments to ponder before responding to the woman.
“I have a feeling I’m not going to bump into him any time soon. Even if I did, I could handle my little brother…do you doubt my skill?”
Itachi grabbed a twig, setting near the flames. He twiddled the small trinket waiting for the reply from the Akatsuki member. He slowly craned his neck, revealing his mangekyou.
"It would be fatal to underestimate me," he whispered.

Hyakka walked into the cave as she stood just outside of the fires light. Only a shadow with deep blue eyes could be seen. Standing there looking at the Itachi, her eyes squinted as she stared at him. Looking at the fire hearing and watching the fire crackle in the cave.
"So...You are not afraid of your little brother...Despite the fact that its been...Three years...He may have gotten stronger then you think..." she said softly

Itachi’s eyes slowly took their previous shape, the three black tome taking their place of the kaleidoscope shape. His eyes wandered back to the flames, that danced as the wind came causing the flames t lick out in all directions. His mind drifted back to his last encounter with his brother, he wasn’t much of a threat then, but maybe he was now. None the less Itachi was confident he could overpower his brother.
“My brother may have gotten stronger, but even I have progressed a little. However I still think you are underestimating me,” Itachi replied in a low monotone.
Itachi motioned for Pein’s partner to come sit near him next to the blaze. His gaze focusing back to her, taking in the adjacent details all around him. “Does the leader have any new information for me,” Itachi asked.

Hyakka stood there feeling the eyes of the Uchiha on her. She stood there with no expression on her face; she walked over to the fire and took a seat on the other side of the flame. Crossing her legs and putting her hands onto her lap, the blue hair shifted as she sat there. Raising her right hand and pushed back some of the blue hair. Sitting up straight she looked at Itachi, the fire was bright and hot. The light from the blaze on the face of the Uchiha made him look like a devil himself. Despite this appearance her face was no emotional feature on her face.
"There are some orders...Some things have changed around...I am have to speak to the Pein, before I tell you anything..." she said

Itachi looked outside the cave, the clouds above burst releasing a torrent of rain. The rain was pounding the cave entrance, the noise almost matching the crackling fire. Itachi was growing anxious, Pein had been acting strange. Ecspecially around Itachi, almost like he was holding a grudge. No matter Itachi needed to know if there was any new information he should know.
"What has changed around," Itachi asked, barley audible over the fire and rain. Itachi threw the tiny twig into the flames, and watched as the fire consumed it turning it to ash in a matter of seconds. He had been focused on the fire for a few minutes, caught in fascination. Unable to draw his attention away.
