Legally Bound
"Oh, Itachi! You're back!"
Itachi looked up from the coffee he was pouring and saw two of the front desk secretaries entering the staff room, possibly to grab a cup before starting their shift.
Itachi smoothly entered into his old host habits and flashed them a smile. "Why yes. I'm finally back. I apologize for such a long absence. I hope that it did not cause any problems for such lovely women."
The two women instantly flushed, and then they exchanged glances between each other with an excited giggle. Itachi had to turn back to the coffee maker in order to hide his grimace.
"Oh no. No trouble at all. We made sure to cover for you." said the one who wore her brunette hair in a tight bun.
"Where were you for so long? Everyone was worried about you!" gushed the curly blond.
"I'm afraid Yukito had caught a really bad cold, but he's better now." Itachi explained.
"Your son was sick? Oh that's terrible!"
"Yes, and once he was sick, he passed it on to everyone else. Even my Saku-chan—" Itachi stopped, realizing his slip, and smoothly corrected, "Even my wife, Sakura—" but the damage was already done.
"KYAAA!" the two women squealed with hearts in their eyes. "You call her 'my Saku-chan'?!"
Itachi struggled to keep his composure. To hide his annoyance and retain some sort of control, he bit his tongue until he tasted metallic blood. "But she is mine." he stated flatly.
"That's so KAWAII!!! Lovely!!"
"No really," Itachi said, turning to them. His smile turned somewhat cold and demonic as he told them in a matter of fact tone, "She is legally bound to me and only me. She is not allowed to be with anyone else unless she wants to risk court. I have the contracts if you want to see."
The two women were speechless for the longest time. Then they slowly turned around and exited the staff room, forgetting about the coffee. With wide eyes, they muttered to each other, "That sort of killed the cuteness."
