Ch 82

I'm so tired. When are we going to rest? My legs are numb. They have the tingly feeling. 

I know it's been another few hours as I don't feel the heat from the sun. And I'm very bored. There hasn't been much of a change in the directions we've been going. 

And my eyes. It's been a few days since the surgery, I think I can take the bandage off my head. Tsuande said a day or two, and it's been a day or two. But I can't do that when we're basically in the air. 

"Are you going to stop anytime soon?" I would rather rest. Not even that. I want to rest. 

"Maybe," Kisame answered as we didn't stop. I sighed deeply as I tried to clear and clean my thoughts. 

I'm going to kill them. I would love to get a kunai and my katanas but Kisame is holding my bag. He's also a few meters ahead of me, too much for me to jump out of Itachi's arms to grab it. We're on the ground right now, so I know I won't fall too hard. 

Itachi tightened his grip on my body, pulling me closer to his face. 

"Don't," he mumbled. 

I had to resist the urge to scoff at him, it was only a thought, I wasn't going to fight them. 

Nah I'd lose. 

I turned away from Itachi, now annoyed that he could now read minds. Annoying guy, both of them are. They didn't answer my question, and they didn't even acknowledge me. I know I'm basically a captive but seriously, the disrespect. 

I tap Itachi on his arm, "I haven't had food in days and I would like my vision back, stop somewhere please." 

I will ask nicely this once, I won't go to raging Karen the moment things don't go my way. I'll work my way up. 

Plus I seriously doubt anything will go wrong if we don't stop and rest for a few minutes. I have food in my bag if we're in the middle of nowhere too. 

Itachi didn't answer me, he didn't even move differently while I was talking. Not even after, it was like I never said anything. 

Great, do I need to scream to get his attention? I feel like a child, and it annoyed me to no end. 

"Wait," he muttered again. 

Why was he speaking softly? Kisame can hear us regardless. Or maybe that's just how he speaks now. 

He was always so open to me. That's definitely not the case now, especially with other people. If anyone got Itachi to open up, it would be God. Actually, even that is not possible. 

But at least he acknowledged by words. At least he acknowledged my presence, and my existence. 

But was he trying to say to wait for a bit before we stop? Or was it wait, to stop me from talking? Time will only tell, and that is exactly why I will kill him. 

He gets my silence either way. He didn't give me any information or even a promise. Damn, now I'm pissed. 

But then they started to slow down, before completely stopping. 

Itachi gently helped me to my feet, making sure I could stand before letting go. 

I immediately stretched my legs, hearing a few cracks as I let out a sigh of relief. 

"How long until we start again?" I asked no one in particular. Itachi was behind me to my right and Kisame was in front of me to my left. A trap, in case I make a run for it. 

Funny, very amusing. 

"How long will you take?" Kisame answered with a question. I smiled, enjoying human interactions again. 

"If I say a day?" But that doesn't mean I'm not going to be cheeky. And that answer seemed to amuse Kisame as he let out a deep chuckle. 

"Then I'll give you tonight." Now that's surprising. They were ignoring me like I wasn't here and now they're being considerate? Do they think I'll forgive them for this disrespect? It's working. 

"And if I say two minutes?" Now I have to see if we were staying the night or if they were actually letting me choose. Is there even a set time for bringing me to the Akatsuki? 

"Then we'll stay for two minutes." Aww, they're going to make me blush. I chuckled lightly at Kisame's words. 

"I only need 20 minutes, thank you." I will reward them with politeness. 

I sat down on the grass below me and took my bag from Kisame. I first removed my bandage from my head, slowly unwrapping the cloth. 

When it was completely gone, I kept my eyes closed for a moment. A silent prayer to Tsunade came to my head before I opened them. 

Even though it was night, it was still slightly bright from the moon. 

My vision was blurry, nothing was clear and I had a moment of panic. But it went away as reason came to my mind. 

It took a moment, but my blurry vision cleared. 

And I look around at my surroundings. 

I was in a big field of grass, it shone beautifully from the moon's light. I could still see trees from the forest we just left, even if they were far. 

All in all, a beautiful first thing to see after not being able to. 

I looked at Kisame, a soft smile on my face from how happy I am that everything worked out. He looked exactly the same from what I remember. 

I turned to Itachi next, keeping the same expression. My anger towards anything disappeared as relief filled my body. He was older, and more mature from when I last saw him. 

I glanced to the ground, raising my hand to touch the glass. Feeling the healthy little pricks of nature, untouched by human intervention. 

And at this moment, everything was just right. I felt perfect. All the hard work and trust I put in people, it paid off. 

And I was so happy. 

A/n It's been awhile and I finally got to it and released a chapter. So sorry for the wait, I'll get to more. My will is back and all your words of encouragement are helping me so much. Thank you and keep sending them to me. I always look and listen to what you say. Enjoy~
