Echoes Of Silence (Itachi Love Story)

chapter three

We've been walking for awhile through these cherry blossoms. I've never seen something so beautiful before, the powerful wind starts blowing the petals away. I wonder why Itachi has been looking at me for awhile. "Your hair is all over your face." He moves my hair away from my face, putting it behind my ear. The silence between us is accompanied by the powerful wind. I haven't felt the touch of a kind soul in a long time, he's so memorizing and I couldn't help but cry.

"Why are you weeping like that?"

"I'm sorry I just remembered this dream I had last night, old memories that seem to haunt me. I didn't mean to let her die like that."

Itachi held me close and caressed my hair so gently, he held my face in his hand. "I'll make the pain go away, it drives me insane to see you like this."

Little by little the memories begin to seal away in the back of my mind. I hope I don't end up falling for him, i'm afraid of trusting someone again.

"Why didn't you show much expression before Itachi? How come you're acting differently now?"

"Showing emotion can make someone see your weaknesses but with you I actually don't mind showing you my flaws. For some reason I've grown to trust you."

When he said that it made my heart feel at ease, all I could do was stare at his beautiful face and smile.

"Let's hide behind that building.
According to our sources every Friday night our target hangs out in geisha houses especially that one down the street. Today you're going to need to go undercover and dress up as a geisha and find information about the whereabouts of the four tailed jinchuriki."

Once we entered the geisha house all the other geisha's were fond of itachi. I couldn't help but get irritated, what got me really disgusted was when one of them ran their fingers around his chest. "Are you here for some fun? Maybe you would like to be entertained privately in one of these rooms." the woman said while slightly uncovering her chest. Itachi paused for awhile but then he said something that made me cringe. "I would love to go in a room alone with one of you lovely women, perhaps more than one." He had a smile on his face, he didn't even bother to look at me. Then our target finally came through that door. "I'd like to order a room with the most beautiful woman in this room. You standing alone over there will accompany me tonight and adhere to my desires." Luckily he chose me, atleast I can continue on successfully fulfilling this mission. I then escorted him to an unused room and once I closed the door he immediately attacked me. He swung me over the bed, I've never been in a situation like this before. I was so scared, why was he scaring me though. His warm breath came close to my neck and said "I hope you don't mind if I brought in some of my men in here to enjoy themselves as well. They all would also like to have some fun with a beautiful woman like yourself." Then ten men came inside the room, all I could think about was the way my father treated my mother with such insolence, this seemed similar to me. Why did you do this to me Itachi? Why did you leave me to do this alone by myself? I thought you were different! I have lost faith again. The whole room was covered in snow and the men were standing there with fear. "I can't believe it! Is this the deadly jutsu of Yukiji Kazuno, we need to escape now!" They all screamed in agony. "You can't escape from me it's too late now. Secret technique: snowmist jutsu!" The whole room went white and then red, their screams made me irrational. I couldn't control this rage of mine, I kept crying uncontrollably until I felt the room go warm. Then I felt the warm touch of someone. It was Itachi, he melted the snow with his fireball jutsu.

"Let's get out of here." He had that look in his eyes, the kind that made you feel relieved. I couldn't help but get mad at him. He carried me outside the geisha house and ran to find a safe place. We went inside a cave and he put me down.

"Why did you leave me alone to deal with those disgusting men?! Why did you leave me alone while messing around with the whole geisha house?! You're just as disgusting as those other men! I thought you were different but I've been decieved this whole time!"

"It was a shadow clone."

I looked at him with a suprise on my face. Was I wrong this whole time?

"I would never actually sleep with women like that. They smell like other men and most likely carry unknown diseases." I looked at him with a new found revelation of the whole situation.

"Then why did you do it?"

"I did it to complete the mission, to make sure our target chose you instead of another geisha. I wanted to know that you were safe, I hid under the bed incase I needed to interfere and kill him myself. But I knew you were capable of handling him by yourself, but then those other men came in and I was going to intrude but then your most powerful jutsu was being casted. I didn't want to get caught in that jutsu but then I realized that that jutsu was released with your frustration and rage. That's when I came in to help you. I'm sorry I left you alone and I'm sorry I didn't tell you about my plan beforehand I thought that you realized my true intentions."

I ran into his arms and wept again, I haven't cried that much in a long time. "I forgive you itachi, I now realize the kind of person you really are. I'm sorry i said those things to you." We stayed like this for what almost felt like forever. I couldn't help but wonder if this is what it felt like to be in love with someone.
