I got nothing to say. Nothing but sorry it took so long!

Itachi lay down in the soft grass, gazing at the stars framed by the trees, her face devoid of emotions. Tobi sat on a fallen log, tending to the small fire they had built. The gentle hooting of an owl reminded them that they weren't alone in the forest.

"Will you tell me about your coven?" Itachi asked quietly. Tobi said nothing. "You'll meet them soon enough." he replied after a few moments. Itachi 'hmph-ed'.

Tobi suddenly tensed. He gripped his sword and stood quickly, ready for something. Itachi shot up, her Sharingan ready for whatever was coming. The bushes rustled around them. The Reapers' eyes traveled around, trying to spot the source of the rustling as they stood back to back.

A woman in a revealing green silk dress shot out of the bushes to their left. Her long wavy black hair billowed out behind her as she pounced. Tobi and Itachi moved to the other side of their small clearing. Like a cat, she landed on all fours.

She cast a glance at Tobi, but turned to Itachi, seeing that she had no weapon. Itachi gazed into the woman's red eyes with her own bloody scarlet. The woman straightened, Tobi quietly snuck up behind her. She must have heard him, because she back flipped behind him and bit him. Tobi let out a stupefied gasp and collapsed.

"Now it's just you and me, child." She said. Her voice was unbelievably smooth. No doubt very sexy to the male population, but to Itachi it was annoying. This woman looked older than her, maybe her 30's? She could have been the weasel's sister, with her dark hair, pale skin and crimson eyes. The only difference was the sign of heaven that surrounded Itachi's pupils.

"Demons are more animalistic than humans, even though some of them look normal."

Demon.

"Demon." Itachi spat. The demon smiled, showing off a pair of razor sharp fangs, "Guilty as charged." The demon replied before lunging at Itachi. She dodged, making the demon crash into the bushes.

Two thin rods shot out of the bushes, piercing through Itachi's shoulders and pinning her to a tree, four feet off the ground. The demon calmly walked out of the bushes. That's when Itachi saw the sharp rods that had pinned her to the tree were the demon's fingers. "What is your name, child? I like to give a proper burial to those who feed me . . ." the demon asked. "What's yours?" Itachi spat out the question.

The demon laughed, a high melodic sound. "My name is Lust, child. I am a demon, but I prefer succubus, if you don't mind . . ." The demon gazed right into Itachi's eyes as she approached her. Said 'trapped girl' gazed at her dangling feet, smirking.

Lust grabbed Itachi's pale chin roughly, "I want to see the life leave your eyes as I devour it!" she made Itachi look up, and the demon's fate was sealed.

"Tsukuyomi!"

This was her world. She had ultimate control. The succubus, Lust, was tied to a post on a hill. Itachi stood in front of her, holding a katana. Sharp weapons lined shelves behind the Reaper. "For the next 72 hours you will experience unending pain and torture. Your wound will heal quickly, only to be replaced by fresh ones." Lust looked away. Itachi roughly grasped her chin and made the demon meet her gaze.

"I want to see the pain in your eyes as I make you suffer."

Lust screamed as Itachi stabbed her with the first katana.

Lust released her grasp from Itachi and fell down on the grass. Itachi landed on her feet gracefully. Tobi had woken up, and was currently wrapping his neck with bandages. Itachi moved towards him, her pace slow.

"Oh Cousin! I'm so proud of you! You defeated your first demon! Here, I'll give you some bandages for your shoulders." Tobi cried, reaching into his jacket for more bandages. He passed a roll to the raven haired girl. She took them and frowned, looking sternly at Tobi.

"I'll be right back!" he dashed off into the woods. Itachi sighed and removed her torn shirt and applied the bandages. Once in place Itachi looked at her shirt, her torn, bloodstained shirt. Oh well, it was better than nothing.

Tobi returned about an hour later with a handful of berries and an apple. "Food?" he asked, holding the apple out to Itachi. "Thanks." she mumbled. There wasn't a lot if food out in the 'wild' but whatever Tobi managed to forage always filled her up.

Itachi gazed at her fellow Reaper, "Why don't you remove your mask?" "I don't want to." Tobi stated simply, never looking up from his handful of berries. Itachi heard his stomach rumble. "Go ahead, eat. You must be hungry . . ." Itachi closed her eyes and listened.

She smirked when she heard the sound she was listening for. Her eyes snapping open, the weasel jumped on Tobi and she gasped.

His mask was off.

Itachi was gazing at a face nearly identical to her own. Pale skin marred only by a scar across his right eye, Sharingan eyes. "So that's why you call me Cousin . . ." she murmured. The structure of his face was masculine, but still similar to hers, his lips, stained with berry juice, were the same shape as her father's.

"What was your name when you were alive?!" she demanded. Tobi got a sad look in his eyes, "Uchiha Tobi."
