Ch 81

It's been a few hours, and no one has said a word. Kisame sends me an occasional glance but other than that would take the lead. Itachi on the other hand would not even look at me. 

I tried having a conversation, but I was ignored. Everytime I did, he would gently squeeze me. Almost like a silent, 'not right now'. 

It pissed me off, I haven't been this quiet in years. I make money off of annoying people. It's amusing. But now I'm just being held like a damsel in distress. I mean, I am blind at the moment but I could still handle myself. 

But now's not the time for my useless thoughts, if I keep up thinking about God knows what, I might kill someone then myself. You don't wanna know my deep thoughts. 

So in order to entertain myself, without thinking, I started playing with Itachi's hair. He didn't react to it so I took it so that he didn't mind. It gave him a little braid and when I was done I would take it apart and start over. 

I chuckle as a thought comes to my mind. I tapped his arm, "lift me up more." 

He finally looked down at me, there was no emotion but I at least got his attention. He lifted me up like I asked, instead of carrying me bridle style it was more of a hug. 

His head was on my shoulder and my arms were wrapped around his neck. We were chest to chest as I again started to play with his hair. 

This is a nice moment. The first time I see Itachi, he holds me. 

If only he did this when we were younger. 

If only it was a different time. 

If only he didn't kill my family. 

If only... 

I shake my head, there's no need to remember and reminisce on what could have been. I know Itachi's reasons for doing that, but he still didn't have to take advantage of me. 

That kiss we shared, that was only to distract me so he could kill me. I would rather he had just stabbed me. My smile darkened, I don't care how rigorous he is. What he did to me was not right. 

I leaned close to Itachi's ear, "Itachi." He didn't react again, but I saw he slightly turned his head to look at me. He was listening. 

"I remember and I don't forgive you. Just you wait," I place my hand on his chest, right over where his heart should be. Right where he tried to stab me. Right where he tried to kill me. 

I couldn't see his full face, but his body said enough. His body was tense but that made sense, I am in his arms and we are going into a tiger's den. Plus my little threat, which I didn't mean. 

But before when I did something, he would give me a gentle squeeze. Like a soft warning. But now, he full on grabbed my body tightly, like he was restraining me. 

It didn't hurt, but I felt like I couldn't move. This felt like a punishment, my movement was restricted and I could no longer entertain myself. He held me so close I could feel his breathing on my neck. 

I scoffed but accepted it. Like I could do anything. This is Itachi Uchiha we are talking about. 

"Rude," I rolled my eyes. Even though I wasn't happy with him or his actions, I was still comfortable with him. 

He won't kill me. He won't even hurt me, that much is obvious. He's not the type. 

So, in order to pass the time, I would sleep. I rested my head on his shoulder and relaxed. I will get to take the bandage off my head by tomorrow, I will finally get to see. Not having vision is annoying and inconvenient. 

And when that happens, I'll meet the Akatsuki. 

Damn, I didn't think it would be this soon. Pre shippuden too, sheesh. 

As I drifted off to sleep, all thoughts on what will happen in the next few days also left my mind. Right now, all I need and want is to sleep. 

A/n Ishi remembers, she always does. Plus can't have Itachi without Kisame, they are partners. I can't wait to write the next few chapters, they are going to be chaos. Enjoy~
