When Love Backfires

Chapter One - Four Years Ago

A/N: Hey! My second Naruto fanfic. Um..so..yeah, I kind of got the idea when I was daydreaming and staring at my ceiling. Its about my OC Keiko who was tricked into the Akatsuki, gets amnesia and forgets who she is and everything about her life. But can Itachi bring back her memories? Yes I know - Im obsessed with the Akatsuki!

Read my other story that im working on too: Sharingan Pregnancy. SP is going to be updated on Mon, Fri and Sat, and WLB is going to be updated on Sun, Tues and Thurs. Enjoy the story!

Disclaimer: I dont own Naruto! Only Keiko, Chei, Mai and Nao My OCs

Four years ago...

Keiko's POV:

"No, Itachi-kun"

"Keiko-chan..."

"No Uchiha, save your excuses when I actually would care" I looked up into his eyes which was a shot of red which would always make my knees tremble.

But shaking away from those feelings I quickly turned around and walked away. I was expecting him to appear in front of me and finish his conversation in status quo. But he didnt and I actually found myself freely walking out of his life, or him staying out of mine. This was confusing for me, so I looked back once more but he was gone. Thats right - He was gone, finally I was alone with no brainwashing freak of a boyfriend.

I strolled on my own through the cold and rainy streets of my village, Konohagakure, and decided to sit myself down at Ichiraku's and ordered myself a very large bowl of ramen. I needed to think through this perfectly, before I get all emotional, days before the Chuunin Exams. The blonde boy next to me was a regular here, he's well known as Naruto Uzumaki. I've never really talked to him and Im usually not too worried if I dont. But hell do I need someone to talk to, and he seemed like the perfect fi...

"Here you are, Keiko-chan" The woman behind the bar said, placing a bowl of ramen in front of me, cutting me from my thoughts.

I took out some cash and handed it to her, but she gave me a refusing hand gesture, "no dont worry, its on the house!"

"Why?" I asked whilst not putting much effort into my voice. Damn my emotions. Damn emotion shielding.

"You seem upset so its on the house"

I nodded. Looking down at the food I just couldnt register the fact into my brain that this is my favourite food and I should eat it. Forget talking to Naruto. Forget eating something I love. Forget staying out tonight. Fuck this, Im going home.

My body practically shot up and charged out of the ramen shop and I found my legs running closer and closer to my house. Tears rolling down my face in the pouring rain, I finally and quickly opened the front door and tackled my body into air and straight into the direction of the sofa.

My friend, Chei who was crashing here for a few days, blinked at me. She was drinking some soup and drinking some green tea whilst watching her favourite show, a silly cartoon about a cat. I rolled my eyes at how childish this girl is and that is when I erupted.

"Why are watching that, Chei-chan! Seriously - what are you like twelve years old?!" I screamed, I could even feel my head throbbing from my own voice.

"Calm down" She calmly replied, taking a mouthful of the red food.

"Ca...Ca...CALM DOWN!?" I shouted shooting myself upwards from laying down, "how you can you possibly tell me to CALM DOWN when Itachi ki..."

Crap. No! I really shouldnt of said that. This was surely going to anger her so much. Chei doesnt even know who the murderer of our roomate, Mai, is. He told me only ten minutes ago, but I couldnt tell Chei. She can calm herself down pretty quickly over most unexpected discoveries. But I still didnt want her to even get pissed for even a couple of seconds.

"Itachi what?" She asked, pausing herself from eating and looking at me directly in the eye.

"I...He...Oh...Well...He just..."

"Spit it out, Keiko, you cant hide it for long"

"Itachi, he well...he killed Mai OKAY!" I said as I ran into the bathroom and locked the door beside me.

I rested my head on the bathroom wall just to contain my tears, I couldnt shield this emotion for long. Sadness is my weakest point. And just thinking of Itachi killing Mai made me so angry, I actually felt like throwing him one at that moment - but I couldnt do it. I love him too much. I love Itachi Uchiha. I love his emotionless smile and hi...

"I know" Gah! Two times in a day my thoughts got cut. Wait? She knows? I shot my head from the position and walked closer to door, so she could hear me through the wood.

"You know? What do you mean you know? How?!"

"He told me, the night before she was killed" She replied. I steadily opened the door to meet her face. She was emotionless as ever, but sometimes you can actually see some emotions - at those extremely emotional moments of mixed emotions. Gah. I make no sense.

"But..Why...Why...But why didnt you tell her? Why didnt you tell me? And hell why didnt you stop him?!"

"Stop stuttering Keiko-chan. And quit asking so many questions in one sentance" She said, sitting back onto the sofa. Gritting my teeth I joined her, eyes still intense to her's.

"So?" I demanded.

"So...He told me. But I couldnt do anything about it. He would kill me then track her down anyways. I would of just been a temporary barrier that he would soon get past, easily"

I said nothing. I couldnt beleive what she had just told me. We all know Itachi is a very strong ninja in Konohagakure, so it was true. He would only kill her then hunt down poor Mai. Eyes sealing back to the T.V, Chei went back to eating soup and her green tea.

"Maybe you should get some rest" Chei said out of nowhere, "you need all the energy you can get for the Chuunin exams next week"

Hell as ever she was right. I nodded and walked upstairs, got into bed and dozed off. A dream came when I was asleep, a dream of a date with Itachi.

No-Ones POV:

"Where are we going?" Itachi asked, hands in his pockets whilst his lover, Keiko, held one of her hands around his arm and the other clasping onto his wrist.

That was her favourite 'couple' position. It was perfect as Itachi isnt one of those hand-holding types. Or the arm-around-the-neck type. So this was perfect, him relaxed and Keiko acting like a lively girlfriend. They were walking through the cherry blossom fields of Konoha, days before Itachi kissed her and when they finally got together. The twelve year-old kunoichi shot herself down into a cross-legged position below a cherry blossom tree, making poor Itachi fall to the ground next to her.

"Here. At the cherry blossom fields!" She screeched. Itachi brang a light smile to his face.

"You know I have some training soon" Itachi said, laying back on the grass and allowing the sun to shine onto his porcelian skin.

Keiko let out a long sigh and lay next to him, her hand on his chest and her head on his shoulder. "Your teaching your little brother some jutsus, right?"

"Yes"


"He's so cute!" She said, like a little girl would to a puppy. Although Itachi was the complete opposite of this girl, he loved her and he loved the way she was so...innocent and screechy. But the Uchiha let out a sigh and only stroked his hand on her brown hair, and kissing her forehead.

Keiko smiled and slowly shifted her body upwards so she was now looking down at him. She brushed her hand against his jawline and gave him a gentle kiss.

"Keiko-chan?" He said, moments after the kiss.

"Yes, Itachi-kun?"

"I love you" Keiko smiled at his words, and gave him another light but soulful kiss. As if she had let a part of her soul drift into his body and letting out fireworks in his heart.

A/N: Thanks for reading! This first chapter counts as a bit of history between Keiko and Itachi when they where twelve. But the next chapter will skip straight to when they are seventeen/Shippuuden style. R and R! And C.C (constructive critism) will make my day!

P.S. Read my story that I'm writing at the moment, its on my profile and titled as 'Sharingan Pregnancy'.
