Chapter 2 Preparations

The meeting was over and every one had gone about to do their own business. Clarisse walked with her eyes fixed on the floor, step..step...step..drip,she stopped and put a hand on her cheek and felt hot tears running down her cheek . The knot in her throat was tight and threatening to give way, so she quickened her pace until she reached the polished wooden door. She opened it and quietly shut the door with a click. She rested her head against it until she could hold the tears no more.

She slid to the ground, sobbing hard into her hands. Why did this man hate her so much? she hadn't done anything to insult him..at least not that she knew.

The whole situation was strange; having an arranged marriage with a strange man and crying like their was no tomorrow. Clarisse had not cried this hard since she was a young child, it was so unfamiliar to have tears pouring out of her eye's. She pounded the floor with her fists, successfully cracking the wooden floor. She was so distracted with her new found agony she didn't notice this and the silent,silver haired stranger listening through the door.

Itachi was lying on his bed, to anyone it looked like he was sleeping but he was just meditating. He felt it was necessary to push earlier events to the back of his mind and think of any suicidal missions he could go for a nice killing spree, he smirked at this. All the ninjas that crossed his path would be his victims, the ones punished for his life being so chaotic. His lips only stretched for a bit until he felt a familiar silent presence coming towards his door, he looked at the door and said in a monotone voice "Come in Kakashi".

A silver haired man stepped in with full Anbu gear on, he removed his dog mask only to show another mask underneath. He grinned and said "Can never surprise you huh?" his visible eye studying the stoic Uchiha."That would be impossible Hatake. At least to you it is.

Itachi said with another smirk tugging at his lips. "So what is it? Is it such an emergency that you had no time to have a decent appearance?"

Kakashi let out a chuckle and said "That would be correct, the Hokage sent you a scroll. Here". He threw the scroll which Itachi caught with ease. He opened it quickly scanned it and thrust it into a drawer, Kakashi, who had been looking at him with questioning eyes, said abruptly "Spill it Uchiha, whats going on? You have not been acting like yourself since I got here".

Itachi looked at him and said " Nothing, that is of your concern...". Then after Kakashi was turning to leave he said "I am getting married to the heir of the Akimayo clan".

Kakashi turned around and his visible eye wide, he grinned and said "Well, well, well young Itachi is settling down with the heir of the Akimayo clan. I heard that they are legendary for their beauty. You are one lucky bastard to have a women like that in your bed." Kakashi's inner pervert was seeping out and he started muttering things under his breath. He took out his famous orange book out and held it up for Itachi to see.

"Itachi you will need one of these so that she doesn't get bored with you so quickly".

Itachi ignored him and looked out his window into the clear lake. Kakashi lifted a silver eyebrow and said "Why aren't you leaping with joy? Your not satisfied with this terrific out come?"

Itachi looked at his friend in an irritated way and said "She is weak...I don't need a burned that will slow me down. I would rather not be bothered with stupid things like marriage and women wanting to be pleased".

Kakashi was taken aback by his comment and did not reply immediately, but then said "Was this arrangement decided today?"

"Yes, the Akimayo's are here in the compound, they came because the Hokage and my father invited them".

Itachi closed his eyes and Kakashi's eyebrows furrowed and said "So they are here. Have you treated her in a...uh...special way?" Itachi looked at him with an elegant eye brow raised " What do you think Kakashi, that I would welcome her with open arms or some other stupidity?" Kakashi could only look at his friend in silent disbelief, how could his best friend hate a women so much for just doing what was best for the two villages?

Kakashi said "Well then looks like your future bride is going to walk naked during a blizzard, bye Itachi." And with that said he saluted him and poof-ed out of the room.

~With Kakashi~

That was one way to avoid the Uchiha's wrath Kakashi thought while he read his favorite book. 10 Miles away from a pissed Itachi. Kakashi closed his book in curious wonder, 'Had the crying girl been the Akimayo girl...if so how would she cope with a beastly husband when she couldn't handle the announcement of the wedding?'

He started to jump towards his house so that he could analyze the whole situation calmly. He reached his two story house that was located in a small forest . A very peaceful place, just the way he liked it. No one really bothered him hear so he had privacy most of the time, unless people trespassed. Which nobody had the balls to do, no one even put a foot in without permission or unless he knew them.

He unlocked his door and went straight into the kitchen to get him self some sake and his favorite dessert...coffee ice cream with pecans. He went to the living room and plopped himself on the couch with his head comfortably against a pillow. He started drinking from his cup and scooping large amounts of ice cream into his unmasked mouth. Kakashi only let his face un covered in his house because no one saw him, and if girls caught a glimpse of his handsome face then he would have rabid fan girls after him.

he ate calmly and let his mind wander of possible outcomes in Itachi's marriage. He thought for about half an hour and had come up with many possibility's ; 1. Itachi would kill his future wife and would make it look like an accident, 2. he would make her life a living hell that would make the devil himself want to take him up as a son, or 3. he would realize how lucky he was and manage to turn his hate to love.

Kakashi put his money on the first two because the last was very unlikely. Itachi had not had a relationship with any one and it seemed almost stupid to think about that possibility. But Kakashi was far from the stupid and he knew that even this could be possible. If the girl some how survived the first weeks of her marriage and somehow manage to be acknowledged in some small form by Itachi then she could make him feel a tiny tick tack size love for her...but that was up to her, and how much patience and tolerance she had. Kakashi really hoped that she would manage that with as little emotional break downs as possible.

He did not know any thing about Clarisse, only that she was crying, what he didn't know was that she was not a person to walk away, she stood up and took the bull by the horns. He had only heard the girl crying her soul out which made her a fragile person in his eyes. Kakashi finished the rest of his ice cream and said "Stupid itachi you make me get wrinkles, I'm getting old because of you...". He went straight up stairs and decided to take a hot bath to cool and relax his body.

~The Uchiha compound~

Itachi glared at the spot where Kakashi had been, he could have gone after him but he was not in the mood, he would get payback later. At the moment he planned to enclose himself in his room and stay their until he was summoned to play host. He shifted onto a more comfortable position and closed his eyes letting sleep claim him. Itachi drifted off to peaceful sleep at first, but then he saw a blurry shadow in the distance. He saw that it was moving rapidly and make flapping noises, he guessed it was a bird of some sort.

He started walking towards the noise and saw that it was indeed a bird, a black raven with red eyes. It beckoned him to follow and it flew with great speed towards a tall door, it then flew straight through it. Itachi gazed at the door not sure if it was safe to open it, he raised a hesitant hand towards the door knob. He turned it slowly opening a crack just enough to see inside it. At first he saw nothing only a blinding white light, but when his eyes adjusted he saw a girl dressed in a white kimono standing at an altar with her back towards him. There was a lot of people in the room, he looked at the faces closely and saw that his family was there and so was some people from the Akimayo clan. Itachi stepped inside and sat down on the back bench and tried to see the man who was next to the girl in white.

He caught a glimpse of the man and noticed that the man was him, dressed in an elegant white kimono. But the man was different...something was off...he was looking at the girl, Clarisse, with so much love and care he was holding her hand and smiling at her.

No this was wrong! This was not him! He looked bewilderingly at this fool of a man and shouted

" What the fuck are you doing? Let go of that bitch and kill her right now!" He started up towards the altar to kill the girl himself when both of them started to seal the marriage with a passionate kiss, now he was sprinting trying to get up their but the aisle only seemed to stretch with every step he took. The loving Itachi caressed Clarisse's face, whipping away tears of joy, they looked at each other for a long time, which seemed like forever to Itachi, then something weird happened Kakashi had walked up to the bride, hugged her and whispered "Sorry Itachi, but I love her too." With that they both disappeared in a whirl of ravens, leaving behind a stunned and a screaming Itachi.

Hope you guys enjoyed this. Ill probably start with the wedding things next, I'll add violence next time lol
