Hey guys! I would appreciate it if you could review me once again? I just wanna make sure I am not moving too fast and am putting enough detail in. Thanks again! Enjoy!
She awoke a week later only to be overcome with blackness. She slowly sat up and felt herself on a bed feeling her face remembering what happened before hand, the thought bringing tears to her eyes. She sat up and felt a deep pain in her chest causing her to lay back down.
"So.. I am pretty much immobilized.. Great." She said sighing. "But where am i? and how did I get here?" She closed her eyes trying to listen for any noise and heard faint voices. She could make out a girls voice and one of the voices from before, suddenly the door opened and she heard footsteps.
"Who's there?" She asked looking toward the area of sound.
"My name is Konan and I have been ordered to give you a bath and get you some different clothes. What do I call you?" She could feel her picking her up and fumbling with her current clothing.
"Mia.. Mia Hotashi." She felt warm heat on her body and assumed this was the bathtub. She felt herself being stripped and placed in the water, she water feeling great on her skin and relaxing her.
"I will be back to check on you in a little while."
"Thank you Konan." She said as she heard the door close. She felt around for soap and washed herself off and her hair, being careful of her wounds. After a half hour she heard the door open and footsteps approach her, she tried her best to get herself up and help out the girl but could not do much. She felt herself getting dressed and tried her best to walk without her help.
"You are up finally." She heard a voice say, one she did not recognize.
"Yes, thank you for helping me." She said bowing.
"I didn't help you, you should thank Itachi and Kasami." He said bluntly.
"Yes, forgive me."
"Konan bring me Itachi." She heard her shuffle out of the room and a few minutes later she felt someone come in, Itachi.
"Well Itachi this is your decision. Either we kill her now or you take her on as your own responsibility since this is your fault to being with." Venom in his voice, she flinched at his words and tried to not show that she was scared.
"I will take her on as my own responsibility."
"Fine, but mind you Itachi, if she becomes a burden you will have to dispose of her." He just nodded and she felt herself being pulled along, she followed as close as possible but suddenly felt short of breath and fell against the wall.
"Sorry." She said out of breath. She suddenly felt herself being picked up bridal style, the smell of cologne hitting her nose, defiantly a guy's room. She felt herself suddenly put on a bed with silk sheets.
"Umm… What about the room I was in? Shouldn't I go there?" she asked.
"That was actually Konan's room and since we have no more rooms you will be staying with me. Especially since you are my responsibility now." He said flatly.
"Can I ask you why? Why did you save me? You didn't even know me and I have heard of you Itachi.. You are not the type to have emotions or care. So why me?" She felt him staring at her but stood her ground.
"Why does that matter? The fact is I saved you and you should be grateful."
"I am grateful, but I wanna know why, especially if I am to be disposed of if it comes down to it and I will not leave you alone till you tell me." She said smirking.
"I just felt the need to; I can't explain it, so there." He said shuffling around the room.
"Good enough, but one more request."
"What?" Annoyance in his voice.
"Can you come here? I can't see anything and I would like to know what you look like." She said hoping he would let her. She heard shuffling and felt the bed sink down, she put her hands on face and gently felt all around. Itachi closed his eyes as he enjoyed her touch, wishing it would not end and disappointed when she pulled away.
"Thank you." She said bowing. "So if I am to stay here and have you take care of me am I to give you something in return?" she asked playing with the end of the blanket nervous for his answer.
"If you mean sex no, it will just be nice to have company." She smiled at him and nodded.
"How am I already tired? I have hardly done anything." She said shaking her head.
"You still have some poison in your body, it is best for you to rest." She nodded to him then a thought occurred to her.
"So where do I sleep? Because I can sleep on the floor that is no problem." She said getting up only to be pushed down again.
"You will sleep in the bed."
"No! I can't put you out of your bed.. I already put one person out and I feel bad and-"
"Are you really gonna questions everything I do or say?" She quickly shut up and looked down.
"Sorry." And with that she laid down and covered herself up, his pillow smelling just like him and his sheets so soft.
"Before you sleep are you hungry? It has been a week after all." Suddenly her stomach grumbled and she blushed from embarrassment.
"I guess I forgot." She laughed nervously.
"You forgot to eat? You are strange." He said and walked out of the room to return a few minutes later with some soup and grilled cheese.
"Thanks." She said eating, being careful not to spill on his sheets. He just stared at her entranced by her, this girl made him feel something he has not ever felt before except for his younger brother. She had cherry red hair in a ponytail that went to her lower back and crazy bangs with framing around her face, fully pout lips and high cheek bones, gorgeous as most would call her and her knew that the guys were gonna go crazy once they saw her.
"What color are your eyes?" he asked taking her by surprise.
"Green." She took another bite of her food and felt him staring at her. "Why do you keep staring at me? Is there something on my face?" She asked feeling around.
"No, just studying you is all." She felt him stand up and take away her dishes. She nodded to him in appreciation and laid down on the bed.
"I wonder if my eye sight will return blackness is tiring."
"It should over time; there was no nerve damage just temporary as for the poisons that will be out of your system as well."
"Let me guess, I have you guys to thank for that?"
"Not me, but one of us. So who was that girl you were with?" Her heart suddenly dropped as she remembered her smiling face and then her limp body.
"Sasami Nakarashi… A teammate and best friend. We were on a mission when we were outnumbered and I accidently let my guard down for an instant and was infected with the poison, then the cut across my eyes came. If it wasn't for her I would be dead.. She put her life on the line for me and I could do nothing but listen as she died… All because I was useless." She could feel tears welling in her eyes.
"So where were you guys from?"
"The Leaf Village, we met at the orphanage and when through the academy together both graduating at the age of 8. Afterwards we moved in together and have been inseparable since, she was my closest friend, pretty much my sister , she took away my loneliness and now that she is gone it's like I am in the orphanage again. But listen to me whine." She said laughing and shook her wrist.
"So you graduated at age of 8 huh? You must be stronger than you look."
"Yea… I am normally not useless but this whole bedridden thing is throwing me off." She said sighing then covering herself up with the blanket.
"You also though are very powerful yourself though from what I have heard, so I guess should consider this an honor then eh?"
"Hn." Was all he said, she just frowned and turned away from him.
"You are like a brick wall." She said pulling the blankets up closer to her, she could feel his look of surprise and smirked to herself. Hm.. Most people must not talk to him like that.
"That's a new one." He said slightly agitated.
"Well it's true, sure you ask questions but most of the ones you answer are one word if even. But that's alright; I will make up for that." She turned around grinning at him as he smirked, suddenly becoming very tired she closed her eyes and was asleep before she knew it.
