"I Know You Like Me" ( Arataki itto x female reader)

Itto continued to carry me when we eventually escaped from the vision hunt decree.

"Itto. Could you put me down now?" I asked in calm manner but I was kind of scared that he was kidnapping me. I mean I just met him, so wouldn't you be scared if an oni that you just met, pick you up and throwed you ontop of there shoulder.

"No way! Your hurt! And-!" He suddenly screamed into my ear causing them to ring.

'Ow. Does he need to scream in my ear?' I thought.

"I know that. But could you put me down. I won't run from you I just... I need to walk" I told him.

'I can't say it. I can't say this is a little embarrassing. Ok it's really embarrassing. It's not cause he's an oni even if he was human, it would be embarrassing. Being carried by someone like this... is embarrassing. I am a samurai. We need to act like we're strong. That's what dad said at least.'

"Hmmm...no, I'm not putting you down... unless you stop talking so stiff"

"Stiff?" I repeated what he said.

"Yeah. Its like.... let me think... like... your not being your self, I guess."

" not myself? What is myself? I'm not even sure how to begin with that." I told him looking away.

"Hm? Its easy just act natural!" Itto said grinning ear to ear at me.

"Act natural?..." I said hold my hand up to my chin in a thinking position." I don't think I can. Last time I acted normal... was in front of tomo, i think."

"Tomo? Who's that?" Itto asked me.

"Tomo is-... he's not important right now" I quickly said before I let anything slip.

"Aww come on, you where finally opening up to me!" Itto cryed out.

"What do you mean 'finally?" I asked.

"Hm. Well you've been pretty quiet this whole time. It has been a while since we escaped from miss kujou tengu herself, and you hadn't spoken a word to me since"

'Kujou tengu? Does he mean Sara?' I thought.

"Thats-... just put me down! I know I didn't act like 'myself ' but... this is really embarrassing. You know... carrying me like this. So just-Ahhh!" I suddenly screamed when he lifted me up again and put me down on the ground.

He then let go of my waist and started laughing, causing me to be confused.

"There that wasn't so hard! Hahaha!"

"Huh? What do you mean?" I asked tilting my head at him.

"You just acted like... well, you! I can't exactly explain it , but you didn't seem like you where talking stiff and robot like right there. So... Well done!" He praised me as he put his free hand through my hair, messing it up. While he was still carrying his unconscious men in his other hand.

"Hey! Stop that!" I said slapping his hand away from me as I could feel my cheeks turning pink.

"Whyyyy?!" He said in a whiney tone.
