Sun splitting the sky, prompting an endless abyss of blue around the cove of the world. This country was perhaps best known for tea houses, neatly placed around it and obviously a means of income for the land as a whole. A soft patter of footsteps, each gently taking their time across the dusty road had approached one of the more smaller rests along the way. There had been a woman sweeping outside and only at least one other traveller who had stopped for tea. This would be perfect. Adorned in a black robe, with stitched red clouds upon the exterior, Uchiha Itachi made his way into the tea stop. Undoubtably a wanted man, though hopefully the owners would not recognise the organisation this far out. After all, they had no need to chase Bijuu all the way out here. As he entered, an older woman greeted him with a gentle smile, peering over the counter. What had yet to be noted was the straw hat, with paper strips covering his face. He did not wish to be recognised and hoped only for a short break before he continued. His current health condition meant that extensive travel often took alot of energy out of him, meaning he usually kept these sort of self indulged moments to himself. "Welcome to our tea rest, how can we serve you?" She said rather chirpily, to which Itachi had merely stood still. Of course, he must have looked strange wearing the hat indoors but he had to be sure any ninja from other countries lurking about would not recognise his face, at least, immediately. "Just tea, please." Itachi said softly, before he had walked over and taken a seat which positioned him facing towards the door, so that he could analyse anyone who had entered. It would also give him ample time to react and leave without harming any civilians. It had taken a brief moment before he was served, a pot and cup placed on his table eventually by the owner. She poured the hot liquid out into a small enough cup, letting the heat rise to the air just under his nose. It was one of the only things he could really enjoy in the current climate he was situated in. At least, he would want to have at least one last moment of peace before he finally confronted his brother. Until that time, he would take things slowly. "Enjoy your tea." The woman said, taking a bow before she returned to her duties. Itachi looked down and took the cup underneath the thin parchments, taking a slow sip of the tea and letting out a soft sigh. It was just the way he had liked it, strong but not overly so. While one may have thought he was concentrating on his tea, his eyes were still set firmly on the door when he had taken his first drink.

Why the hell hebi was way out in the middle of nowhere was beyond even his own thoughts. The fish really not liking the hot weather that seemed to bore upon them. He had heard of a smaller village around these parts, one that went by the land of tea? He wasn't quite sure if that was the exact name of it. He wouldn't mind a break though. Soon enough thoughts of his imagination started to run wild. Of course, in such imagination he could kill as much as he wanted. It was truly paradise. He didn't think such things could get any better. Though of course, he also knew the Uchiha would never allow such things. He was after all, trying to keep a low profile. They would be quickly found out if he went around killing wherever they went. The fish couldn't help himself though, it was just in his blood to do as such. He fumed silently to himself. Not only was his imagination running wild without him, he also noticed that Sasuke had once again ran off somewhere. Which left him with ... them. Hell no. Hell FUCKING no. He was not going to be stuck with her of all people. She would start whining he knew this. She always did it, when sasuke left them to do god only knew what, she would always complain. It had to be something, about sasuke, about her hair, about SOMETHING. All he knew, was he was not dealing with that shit. He grumbled to himself as he listened to the first part of it before he just got up and left. He didn't care that she was bitching at him now. The further he got away from her, the better off he would be. He pulled a water bottle from his side and quickly drank that down in only a few chugs. It was to damn hot out. "Doesn't this heat wave have anyone else to fuck with?" he mumbled under his breath. That was when his violet eyes caught sight of a building. Hmm? His eyes scanned over it. Be it a civilians house or not, it had shade. And shade was good, especially from the heat. Without a second thought he moved to it and entered looking inside the place. A woman stood behind a counter and the rest of the place seemed to be empty. Except for one person in the corner looking in his direction. Well, i'll be. The form was easy to spot and he instantly knew it wasn't someone good. They were in the apparel of the Akatsuki. Which only meant one thing, Sasuke would want to know. Well, to damn bad. If the raven had stayed with them maybe he would of seen this person, since he wasn't the fish didn't really care. He sat down in a seat and pretended not to notice the other. He was sure the other had noticed him though. Sharpened canines opened in a slight yawn. He really didn't bother with it for now, if a fight broke out he wouldn't mind that either. After all, he would get to draw some blood then wouldn't he? [/classy] [classy=citynotes]itachi | not counting | made by sana[/classy] [classy=citylyrics2]Underneath my skin there's a human[/classy]

There was something peculiar about anyone who would stop at a tea rest on such a warm day as it was, though Itachi was not entirely conflicted with weather conditions and temperature. Being born from Hi no Kuni meant that his body naturally adjusted to a warmer climate, meaning he would stay cooler for longer compared to most foreign shinobi. It was during this next sip that he noticed someone walking in through the door, an air of familiarity about them. Itachi couldn't exactly place it, he had never seen the person before but they certainly looked like a shinobi for what it was worth. Perhaps he should have started to think about leaving before more of them turned up. One thing Itachi did not want, was to have this business here ruined because of his own reputation and unstability at this point in time. Avoiding a fight would have been a good way forward, in the hopes that whoever had walked in did not recognise the Akatsuki attire he had worn. Itachi would not be rushed, however. There was no expectation for him to finish his tea quickly as this new face showed up, such acts would only raise suspicion and confrontation. Instead, Itachi took breaks between his sips to enjoy the flavour, before he had eventually finished his cup. Peering between the paper coverings however, would be a visable red eye watching the new arrival. His Sharingan was active, as Itachi anticipated that something would happen and he planned to make sure he was amply prepared to deal with the threat, should they attack first. As such, he sat and poured himself more tea from the cup. A gentle boil as it was poured back in, to which he let simmer over his face for a moment. Even if he was to be engaged, Itachi already had his planned worked out in order to avoid such a meaningless confrontation. The place was small, yet that stood to his advantage in the first place. He made it clearly known that he was looking at the white haired boy however, refusing to move his frame from the direction it had been originally facing. All he had to do now was see if he could get out of this with minimum fuss.

Even so, it had been a hell of a long time since he had listened to 'feelings'. That was what Sasuke followed and look how it seemed to be turning out for him? The blackette was not smart, in some of his own opinion, but hell he sure knew how to pick a fight. The entire Akatsuki organization, well not exactly the entire organization. But still, as the saying went you mess with the bull you get the horns. Suigetsu sighed a little as the woman seemed to notice him and came to his table. He looked her over slightly with his hues. The violet color taking in every detail of the woman. She definitely wasn't a fighter, and from his own perspective it wouldn't hurt to lose some extra weight. He slightly noticed that she was talking to him and pulled out of his own subconscious. He placed his chin in his opened palm. "You want to repeat that? Didn't quite catch it." he said. She seemed to sigh before she repeated the daily special and what they offered. He absently opened and closed his mouth. "You can bring me whatever. I don't really mind." he said waving his hand. She gave him a look for a moment as if to say something but walked away. He consciously noticed that the male had turned to look at him. He was keeping his position toward him and honestly it was starting to piss him off. "You got a problem?" he snarled slightly baring his sharpened canines. He was getting a little fidgety with the guy facing his way. That was when his paper hat shifted a little and one red eye seemed to peer out from under it for a moment. Bloody Hell. Of all the fucking Akatsuki he had to share a room with it had to be this mother fucker. He ground his sharpened canines together which did not make a pleasing sound to his or probably any other person's eardrums. Damn stupid Itachi Uchiha.

The white haired boy who had walked in carelessly ordered whatever the lady wanted, while seeming quite aloof about his own stature. His aloof manner rather perked Itachi, who had no idea whom this person was, though there seemed to be a distinctive air about him. Regardless, Itachi had continued sipping until he had finished his tea, then allowed himself to properly digest and settle it in his stomach before he had planned to move on. Just as he had, the boy had spoke. "You got a problem?" He would snarl, baring his sharpened teeth. Then it clicked. His teeth was very much like Kisame's and Itachi was very observational about similarities. This boy was from Kirigakure and even worse, may well have been a member of the Seven Swordsmen of the Mist. The personality matched up with that much like Kisame, the eagerness to engage with Itachi despite the fact he was clad in an Akatsuki cloak obviously meant nothing to him. If this was true, then he may well have been in for a fight. The fact he bore no headband also indicated that he may have been a Missing-Nin. Capturing him in a genjutsu at this moment in time would have done nothing in Itachi's favour, as the owner of the establishment might have ended up feeling the built up will of this boy. Instead, Itachi stood up. His motions were always so calm and fluid, never moving too fast nor too slow. It was an odd presence to be around, he wasn't exactly physically intimidating but the sheer fact of his reputation often put people at a discomfort. Itachi proceeded to walk towards the purple eyed being, stopping for a moment beside him and whispering. "If you're going to pick a fight..." Itachi said nothing more and walked towards the door, paying for his tea at the counter before walking outside. The Hozuki would either follow, or perhaps he would just let Itachi move on and not bother him. The Uchiha was not counting on it, however. This may have also gave him a chance to test his own physical endurance, given that his illness was catching up to him quicker every day, without any medical means of stopping it. Seems that he was not destined to live beyond twenty-one. As Itachi walked out, he took a few steps up the road and faced back towards the tea stop. A brisk wind tossed his cloak to one side, as well as the paper strips which had covered his face. His hands were hidden amongst the long sleeves of the Akatsuki attire. Itachi would wait for exactly one minute before he would depart, if the Kiri-ninja did not show. That was only in an ideal world.
