MY LOVE

Itachi's P.O.V.

Today, I woke up as any other day and went through my daily routine. Things have changed after Sasori's death. Tobi became a part of Akatsuki and took Sasori's place. He is really smart; I wouldn't be surprised if he was behind the puppet's death. Everything happened so fast but I had to keep up; I need to keep up, because of my brother. Sasuke has to be strong; I have to make it up for him. I slowly sat on the sofa, at the living room, as a tear rolled down my cheek. I love him so much, but I had no other choice.

"The Great Uchiha Itachi can cry! How fake, un!" Deidara hissed and left, slamming his door shut.

I knew what his problem was; he grew attached to the puppet master, even if he never said so. I always knew that the blonde hated me but I ignored it.

I slowly walked to my room, but some kind of whispers made me stop. It was outside the bomber's room.

"Why did you have to go, Danna? You said you were eternal… I am so confused; I really need you, yeah…"

I walked back to my room thinking of the blonde. I found him attractive, yes; but I had no chance to be with him. He was in love with Sasori and he hated me. Either way, the blonde was a distraction from my true goal; my brother's future.

I sank into my bed as a light sleep took over me. The truth is I haven't slept in years. A small sound would wake me up and Kisame's snoring didn't help, either.

I couldn't sleep so; I went to Pein's office to take on a mission. I knocked on his door and a stern voice let me in.

"Itachi-san, why are you here?" he asked politely.

"I want a mission; if you can give me one, I would be grateful, Leader-sama." I said coldly as always.

He gathered some paper in his hands and gave me one.

"Here, take Deidara-san and go to Iwa to get me a forbidden scroll from the spy we have there. He works as a teacher at the academy, in the center of the town."

With all the information I needed, I left to find Deidara for out departure. I walked into his room and I was ready to wake him up, but his sweet face, stopped me.

He was sleeping in his bed, his long blonde hair cascading his thin frame and lips slightly apart. I could see the track of his earlier tears and it made my heart sink.

I slowly shook him awake. He stirred and rubbed his eyes to wake himself. The moment his eyes fall on me, they narrowed.

"What do you want Uchiha, un?" he hissed.

"We have a mission to Iwa. Get ready." I told him emotionless, but inside me, the fact that he never used my name, hurt me.

I slowly walked outside and waited for him. He came after a few minutes with a brown backpack.

We walked for three days, not saying a word to each other, but at night time, I secretly watch him sleep. It was fascinating to me; he was amazing. The way his chest rose and fell was always catching my eyes; he never ceased to amaze me.

At day light, I never looked at him, because, every time our gazes met, he narrowed his eyes and looked at me with hatred.

Suddenly, he came to a stop. I stopped too and looked at him, waiting for an answer. He opened his backpack and took out some clothes.

"Wear there, un." He said and through me an 'Iwa-clothing-set'.

I stripped off my clothes, letting the cold air blow on my warm skin. With the corner of my eyes, I saw him stare. I couldn't stop myself staring either, when his blue boxers came into view. He took off his shirt, revealing a toned, yet skinny chest for my eyes to feast upon. I frowned when I saw a big stitched up scar on his chest.

Using my speed, I was now behind him, tracing the scar with my finger-tips. He tensed and shook violently.

"Let me go, Uchiha, un." I frowned at his command.

"Where did you get this big scar?" I asked demanding an answer.

He stopped his movement and stayed still.

"This isn't a scar; this is my curse, yeah." He said and got out of my now loosened grip.

He wore his clothes and we walked into the village…

Iwa was crowded and nice actually. We walked into the academy, where our spy was located. We went inside in a slow pace, but soon Deidara's pace became fast. I followed him, trying to understand why he was so upset.

After a while, we were surrounded by students, Deidara's age, laughing at him and making mean comments.

"Hey freak, do you still have those tongues on your hands, cause I can still find a use for them." One said.

The way Deidara tensed in fear, made me think that this boy, had done something very bad to him.

"S-stay away from me, un…" Deidara shuttered.

"Why? Come on, when you were going to school here, you loved it when I fucked the shit out of you." The boy smirked.

"I-it was r-rape, un!" Deidara said trying to gain his confidence, but failing miserably.

"Oh, come on you little bitch, we both know you liked it." He tried to touch him, but he slapped his hand away.

"Don't touch me." He said firmly, glaring daggers at him.

If only looks could kill.

The older boy punched him in the face, causing his nose to bleed and his lip to split.

"Don't hit me again, you little slut!"

I saw a tear rolling down the bomber's cheek. That was it; my anger boiled through my veins.

The boy made his way to punch him again as Deidara closed his eyes, waiting for an impact that never came.

I caught his hand and twisted it until everyone heard the snap. He cried out in pain as I broke his hand.

"If you ever touch him again, I'm going to make you pay it, my breaking every last bone in your disgusting body."

I gave him my coldest glare, as he nodded in fear and left with all his friends.

I reached down and picked Deidara into my arms, bridal style, as he had passed out.

I took him into the cave, where we were camping, placed him into my sleeping bag and left; I had a mission to complete…

WOW, this was a long one. Another new story… I'll try to upload five chapters per week so don't give up on me just yet!

Hugs and kissed to everyone!
