The moon cast its silvery glow over the quiet jungle path, illuminating Luna as she walked through the night.The delicate crystal crescent adorned her dark hair, shining softly in the lunar light. Her piercing eyes gleamed with a mix of determination and melancholy as she moved with quiet confidence.
Luna turned a corner, lost in thought, when she collided with a tall, dark haired figure.
She didn't notice the figure standing in front of her until it was too late. The collision sent her crystal crescent tumbling to the ground.
"Oh, sorry about that"
Luna said, bending down to pick the crescent.
The stranger didn't respond, his gaze lingering on her face, his eyes briefly flicking to the crescent before returning to hers.for a moment, they just stared at each other.
Then, without warning, the stranger's eyes narrowed, and a kunai glinted in the moonlight.
Luna's instincts kicked in and she swiftly blocked the attack with her own kunai. The sudden movement left them frozen kunai locked, their faces inches apart.
"Reflexes aren't bad"
She said. Her voice calm.
The stranger's expression remained stoic. But a flicker of interest danced in his eyes.
"You're not ordinary"
His voice was low and even.
Luna smiled slightly, her eyes locked on his.
As their kunai remained locked, luna's eyes widened as recognition dawned.
"Itachi!?"
She whispered, her voice barely audible.
Itachi's expression remained unreadable. His gaze didn't waver, his eyes still piercing through her.
"What do u want?"
Itachi asked. His voice implying that luna's next move would determine her fate.
Luna remained calm and steady. Not having a single drop of fear, but appreciation.
" I think god finally made me meet someone whom i longed to meet i guess"
Itachi's gaze didn't change, but a hint of curiosity flicking in his eyes.
"While business do u have with me?"
Luna looked at him with surprise and wonder,Her eyes not leaving his.
" your past. I heard about you itachi. "
Itachi's expression didn't change, but his eyes seemed to cloud for a moment, as if the mention of his past had stirred something within him.
"The past is nothing but a grave for those who have walked the path l have choosen"
He said, his voice low and detached. The kunai still locked, itachi's gaze bore into luna as if daring her to probe further.
Luna noticed the change in his tone, and looked at him. Her expression still calm.
"I understand. You're a man of contradictions itachi..."
Itachi's gaze intensified, his eyes narrowing slightly as if sizing luna up.
"Contradictions?"
He repeated,voice dripping with a hint of amusement.
"You know nothing about me"
The tension between them seemed to grow thicker, like a silent challenge waiting to be met.
