Control

Without Warning Part 2

"I see you have inherited your clan's kekkei genkei..." Itachi spoke as his fist came flying towards your stomach.

"I see you turned into a killer." You coldly shot back as you dodged his hit again but his knuckles lightly grazed your stomach as you spun away from him.

You were angry at Itachi for what he did. You knew it wasn't the best time to be acting like this but there were a lot of things you never got to say.

"I can't understand why you killed them..." You added as you dodged another one of his kicks.

"I didn't have a choice...but you...you did...How could you do that?"

You knew it was probably a bad idea to provoke Itachi like this but you couldn't help yourself. What he did angered you...and you knew Itachi was powerful and could easily crush you with his taijutsu alone but he didn't, despite your provocation. You almost felt like he was pulling his hits...yes you used your kekkei genkei to render his sharingan useless but you knew he could easily take you out right now...what was he playing at?

You shook your head, brushing your thoughts away as Itachi's fist came flying toward your face. You ducked to the side, narrowly avoiding his attack as you swung your leg toward his side in a counterattack.

Itachi easily caught your leg, and you attempted to spin out of his grasp while aiming a kick for his head. He dodged your attack with ease and before you knew it your arms were pinned against your back as Itachi spun you around.

Your back roughly connected with his chest as he firmly gripped your arms in place. You could feel your heart pounding as his chest slowly rose, gently pressing against your back as he held you firmly in place. His hot breath tickled the back of your neck causing chills to run down your spine.

"It's good you hate me..." Itachi coldly whispered, his lips lightly brushing against your ear as his hot breath sent goosebumps across your skin.

You inhaled a shaky breath at his actions. Did you hate him? You hated how he hurt Sasuke and just threw away his life. It was awful and what he did was horrible but did you truly hate him? You knew you should...but you honestly couldn't bring yourself to...Itachi was one of your closest bonds. You knew so much about him and shared so much with him. He knew you well and you knew him just as well. At least you thought you did...but then his gentle smile would cross your mind in moments of doubt...how could someone like him just up and kill his whole clan? What he did was wrong but you sometimes wondered if it was his choice...you knew he loved his family but you also knew what it was like to not have a choice...sometimes you wondered if he was like you and was forced to...you honestly weren't sure...None of it made sense to you. As you thought this, you tilted your head over your shoulder to see Itachi.

"I hate what you did but I don't hate you..."

You then turned your head back around as an anxious breath escaped your lips at your next words.

"Sometimes...I think you did it because you had to...like me."

Itachi's grip on your wrists tightened at your words and you immediately began trying to wiggle out of his grasp. You must have struck a cord. Hopefully, you hadn't pushed him too far...

"I'm not like you..." Itachi calmly spoke causing more chills to erupt across your skin as his hot breath fanned the back of your neck.

You weren't sure if you believed his words. You couldn't think straight. However, now wasn't the time for contemplation. Right now you had to figure out what to do...you knew you couldn't talk your way out of this and you had no weapons...you silently scolded yourself for not getting dressed. If did, you would have at least had a weapon...you shook your head at your stupidity as the smoke began to dissipate.
