The soft hum of medical machinery filled the hospital room as Akemi slowly opened her eyes. The sterile white surroundings were momentarily disorienting, but as her vision adjusted, she noticed Itachi sitting quietly by her bedside. His dark eyes met hers with a mix of relief and concern.
Akemi managed a weak smile. "Itachi?"
He reached out, gently taking her hand. "You're awake, Akemi. How do you feel?"
"A bit groggy," she admitted, her voice barely above a whisper.
"You had us worried," Itachi confessed, a subtle emotion tugging at the corners of his usually composed demeanor. "Orochimaru's attack was unexpected, but we managed to get you out in time."
"Kakashi?" Akemi asked, her concern shifting.
"He's fine," Itachi reassured her. "He's been keeping a close eye on you, too."
A brief silence settled in the room before Itachi spoke again, "You're strong, Akemi. I knew you could handle yourself, but I never want to see you in that situation again."
Akemi managed a small laugh, wincing slightly at the soreness in her body. "I'll do my best to avoid it, then."
A genuine smile graced Itachi's face as he leaned in to brush a gentle kiss on her forehead. "I couldn't bear the thought of losing you."
As they lingered in the warmth of their shared feelings, Akemi's gaze shifted to the bedside table, where a delicate vase of tulips stood. Their vibrant colors contrasted against the sterile hospital environment, and she couldn't help but smile at the thoughtful gesture.
"Tulips?" she asked, raising an eyebrow playfully. "You bought flowers for me, Itachi Uchiha? I must be sicker than I thought."
Itachi chuckled, the tension in the room easing. "I thought they might brighten up the place. And besides, I heard from a reliable source that tulips are your favorite quite some time ago."
Akemi's eyes widened in surprise. "You remembered that?"
He nodded, a soft expression in his eyes. "I pay attention to the details that matter."
"Well, color me impressed," she teased, a mischievous glint in her eyes. "I didn't know the great Itachi Uchiha had a romantic side."
A hint of a smirk tugged at the corner of his lips. "There's much about me you don't know, Akemi Hyuga."
She chuckled, her teasing tone turning into genuine affection. "I suppose we have time to learn more about each other. After all, it seems I'm stuck in this hospital room for a while."
Itachi leaned in, his voice softening. "I don't mind being stuck with you, Akemi."

The moonlight filtered through the dense canopy, casting dappled shadows on the forest floor as Itachi and Kakashi met in a secluded part of the woods. Kakashi, his one visible eye sharp and determined, initiated a barrier jutsu to ensure their conversation remained confidential.
Itachi's gaze was serious, his Sharingan swirling with intensity. "Kakashi, we need to discuss the situation with Akemi. Danzo has ordered me to assassinate her because he believes her kekkei genkai poses a threat. I don't share his view, but we need a plan to protect her from both Danzo and Orochimaru."
Kakashi nodded solemnly, his expression masked by the lower half of his face. "I've received orders from Yondaime to prevent Danzo's schemes from coming to fruition. We're on the same side here, Itachi."
They exchanged a knowing look, the weight of the situation hanging in the air. "We can't let Danzo manipulate us into causing harm to one of our own," Kakashi asserted.
