Author's Note : thanks so much to my first review by SJ95! I am so glad you liked chapter 1, and yes, thanks to Akatsuki Sakura Uchiha for my second review. I like it better when there is a struggle for dominance lol! Ok so here is the next chapter guys!
Chapter Two
" Confusion and Anger"
{ so this is Itachi's point of veiw}
How dare that insufferable woman speak to me that way? Who in the hell does she think she is? No one, and I mean no one keeps an Uchiha hostage, especially me. I am the feared killer Itachi Uchiha, she shopuld ru awaya from me, not taunt me like I am a friend. What was wrong with her? Maybe, she was insane, but then again even insane people no when to be afraid, and they don't taunt people who are stronger, faster, and more deadly then they could ever hope to be.
She had the nerve to pin me to the bed and point out the fact that I was blind! Who the hell taunts someone with my reputation, and I came to two conclusions, that I didn't like very much. Innocence and of course stupidity, could she really be that nave? I wish I could hace made out what that pink blur was around her pale face, well what I assumed was her face after all. Since she so bluntly pointed out that I could not see worth a shit.
I tried desperately to break from the chakra bonds that held me to the bed, and I only managed to damage myself even worse. I had burns now on my wrist and arms, and I was to weak to escape, for now. Curiosity, seemed to take control of my mind, and I thought of that dumb woman, no not woman, child maybe, no not child, ignorant girl, no she wasn't ignorant. Stupid woman child was the only name that suited her.
Her scent filled the room, and I inhaled it deeply, taking it in, trying to decifer what exactly that smell was. Ah, it was a mixture of peaches and cream, and I felt my mouth begin to water. I wanted to devour every bit of that aroma. I felt my stomach let out a low growl, food, it was something I hadn't had in a few days. A knock came to the door, and I moved my head slightly to see who was coming in.
For a moment I felt a feeling I hadn't felt in a long time, what was it called again, oh yes, fear. Fear because I could not move, I was weak, vunerable, and bond to a bed that I could not escape. Despite what most people think, I do not want to die, I never had, and that was the secret to why I clung to life the way I did after Sasuke and my last encounter. " How are you feeling, Itachi," a voice said entering the room.
The fear subsided when I relized it was only the stupid woman child and myself, and the only reason I could come up with as to why was her words from earlier. " I could have killed you if I wanted to," she had whispered in my ear. It was true, she could have left me for dead, or worse, she could have killed me on the bank of the river. Still she did not, she healed my wounds, and I slept in a bed, instead of a hole six feet deep.
{ ok so now we swap over to sakura's point of view}
Was that a hint of fear in his eyes? So even Itachi Uchiha feared death I would not point out this to him, but he was acting so human at the moment. I walked over to the bed, and I spoke to him, " How are you feeling Itachi." He snapped out of what ever daze he was in and glared at me, "Hn," was the only think he said. Okay so we were going to have to do this the hard way affter all.
" I reacted a little rashly yesterday, but you and I have to lay down some ground rules,' I said looking into his filmy eyes. No response, was he ignoring me? So to get his attention I released the chakra bonds, and he struggled to sit up, so I helped his by putting the pillow against the head board and leaning him gently back. Suprisingly he didn't thrash around like before. Still, he said nothing, not a single word. " I don't take orders ffrom anyone, so don't tell me ask me," I said firmly.
" Neither do I," he responed harshly. He spoke, a full sentence, he actually spoke beyond hn. " Alright, so I will not order you around and in return I expect the same curtisy," I said studing his body language. He didn't like to compromise, but he want in the position to refuse. " Now I will remove the seals on the room under one condition," I said eying the man infront of me. " You must stay out of Kohona's sight, if they catch you here it will be my neck on the line, as well as line, as well as you own¸and one more thing, stay away from my room, and don't try tokill me got it," I said firmly. " Understood," he responded.
" Now that the rules are set in to place, are you in any pain," I asked him calmly. He simply nodded, and I prodded some more, " Where does it hurt? I can't make it better if you do not show me or tell me," I said eying him. " My right side," he said looking at me. So I removed the blanket, and looked at the injury, oh my¸it was getting infected. " How did you manage toreopen this," I hissed angrily. He didn't respond but I already knew the answer, he was tryin to break the chakra bonds.
" I am going to have to clean this¸and then I have to reheal it," I sighed out of fustration. I moved away from the bed, and I exited the room fetching a hot bowl of water and my medical kit. When I entered the room he was in the same position as I had left him. I quickly went to work on him once again. He let out a low hiss as I cleaned the wound, " If you hadn't reopened it, we wouldn't be in this situation," I stated firmly. I sent my chakra into the wound healing the damaged muscle and tissue.
When I was fisnished I spoke to him again¸ " If you want this to heal I would suggest you stay in this bed for at least a week." He nodded, and closed his eyes once again. I sighed at least we were civil, and he drifted off to sleep once more. Who was this man? Why did I not fear him? All the questions played through my mind as he slept.
