Chapter Four

It took Kairi a while to work out what was happening.

Itachi. Is kissing. Me. She blinked and shoved him away. The kiss broke, but he remained on top of her.

"What is wrong you?! Are you on Viagra or something?!" she hissed. Itachi grinned in his self-assured way.

"Maybe."

Kairi glared at him.

"Get off of me." She growled through gritted teeth. Itachi lowered his lips to her ear and whispered,

"Make me."

Kairi let her chakra bleed into her eyes, the Sharingan forming, warning.

"Now. Itachi."

Ignoring her, he began to kiss and bite her neck. Pausing, he hissed in her ear,

"Let me guess, you plan to blast me off you using a jutsu? So how do you plan to do that with no hands?"

Kairi started at that, and found that he was pinning her wrists down well away from the both of them. Itachi lifted his head and watched her Sharingan spinning as her anger grew.

"You're so beautiful when you're angry." He stated coolly, matching scarlet eyes roving over her face. He felt her tense beneath him and he tightened his grip. Kairi thrashed beneath him, fighting him. She managed to wrench her arms from his grasp, throw him off and flee the tent, grabbing her sandals on the way out. Itachi lay on his back chuckling.

"Time for a hunt." He growled.

Kairi fled through the trees, not caring where she ended up as long as she was away from Itachi. She sprang into a tree and nimbly leapt from branch to branch until she reached the top. Once there, she settled herself on a branch to think things over. Itachi had… kissed her. She sighed and leaned back against the tree trunk, wrapping her arms around herself. She could feel an altogether quite pleasant burning sensation on her neck where Itachi had bitten and kissed her. She touched the spots gently. She would no doubt have some hickeys to hide when the morning came.

"Damn him and what he does to me." She whispered, shutting her eyes.

"Kairi." His voice floated to her ears, relaxing, soothing. Her eyes snapped open.

"Kuso." She hissed, moving. She fled through the treetops, substituting herself with branches every now and again, but the further she fled; the more Itachi seemed to gain on her. A shurikan sliced through the branch she had lighted on, and she went crashing down through the lower branches to land as a crumpled heap on the solid ground. All air knocked out of her, she succumbed to the waiting darkness that welcomed her.

Pain. That was the first thing that she felt. Keeping her eyes closed, she noted that she'd most probably broken several ribs. That and she'd have several incredible bruises from the fall from the tree.

"Wake up migoto." A voice purred beside her. "Open your eyes joji."

"Don't call me that." Kairi growled, but ruined the effect by breaking into a coughing fit. Itachi laughed softly. The menace in that one noise was enough to make her cringe.

"I'll call you what I want, beppin." Itachi hissed, leaning towards her, making her shuffle away. He quite happily herded her across the clearing. Her eyes stayed locked with his and consequently, she didn't notice the tree until she was pinned against it. As Itachi advanced towards her again, her Sharingan flared into life, starting to spin.

"Come now Kairi, surely you don't feel threatened by me?" Itachi asked in mock surprise, moving ever closer to her. As she went to form a hand seal, he bounded forward and seized her hands, forcing them to the ground. He crouched over her legs, and leaned towards her.

"You will fear me in the end." He growled

"You're insane." Kairi retorted, lifting her chin in proud defiance.

"Maybe a little." Itachi purred, kissing her neck again. His fingers closed tighter over her twisting hands, holding them firmly in place. As she opened her mouth to swear at him, he moved his head and pressed his lips to her again, sliding his tongue swiftly into her mouth.

Bite his tongue, bite his tongue! The voice in her head sang out happily.

Shut up. She retorted back.

You're arguing with yourself. The little voice snickered. Kairi shut out the annoying voice, which sounded strangely like her brother, and returned to the situation at hand. Itachi had returned to biting her neck, and had decided to try and rid her of her shirt. Kairi took the opportunity to try and wrench her hands free.

"Nuh uh." Itachi purred, using both hands to pin hers down again. "Be an otonashii shoujo."

Kairi hissed at him, her Sharingan flaring up again. Itachi purred at her again, enjoying watching her anger grow.

"How much do you hate me?" he whispered, leaning towards her.

"Enough to murder you ten times over." Came the growled reply.

"How comes you aren't killing me then?"

Kairi couldn't answer the question. She didn't know why she wasn't trying to kill him, why she hadn't fought harder, freed herself and killed him. While she was musing her thoughts, Itachi leaned forwards and kissed her again, gentler this time, stroking his tongue across her lips. Her mouth opened as his tongue ran over her lips, and he pushed past her lips. The kiss swiftly grew, as she fought him for dominance. One of his hands closed on the back of her neck, holding her in place, and the other slid under her shirt, feeling its way along. Noting her arms were now free, Kairi placed them round Itachi's neck, sliding her fingers in his hair; combing it through as their kiss continued. A sudden thought clicked in her head.

I'm kissing him. Again. Since when did I become a willing participant in this?

When you gave in to his kiss and returned it. The smug voice in the back of her head snickered again.

Oh shut up. She said once again. He tastes so good though…

Her thoughts drew back to Itachi's wandering hand as he caressed the flesh beneath her shirt, working his way higher, over her toned stomach. She whimpered in pain as the flowering bruises were pressed upon. As his fingers worked higher, she moaned into his kiss, and he pulled away with a smirk. Kairi leaned against the tree, her breath coming faster than before, her eyes half-lidded.

"Migoto." Itachi whispered, his voice husky to their ears.

"Ero bastard." She replied breathlessly.

Itachi smirked again.

"I try." He chuckled. He shifted his position, moving backwards slightly, kneeling. Kairi whined at the loss of contact, following him, pressing herself against his chest. Itachi raised an eyebrow.

"I thought you didn't want this?"

"Aren't I allowed to change my mind?" Kairi asked, pouting. Itachi's eyes narrowed slightly, and once again Kairi found herself pinned to the ground, face down this time. Her breath hitched again as she felt Itachi shift above and behind her. She felt a burst of chakra and clothes were in the past. She drew in a sharp breath as the cool air brushed her heated skin. She jumped as Itachi's fingers trailed her hip, anxiety creeping into the edges of her mind.

"Shh joji." Itachi purred, trailing his fingers across her skin until she was purring too. He let her move onto her back, facing him. He leaned down and pressed his lips to her, tongues brushing and dancing together. She gasped as he pressed against her.

"Hush beppin." He purred. "A little pain, then pleasure."

Kairi's head fell back as she moaned and everything blurred.

"Admit it. You're a sadistic bastard." Kairi bounced alongside Itachi, grinning widely. He shot her a sideways glance but didn't answer straight away.

"I have my moments." He said slowly.

Kairi snorted.

"Moments my arse."

Itachi merely smirked at her reply. She rolled her eyes at him.

"You really do have a one track mind don't you?"

"We're almost there." Itachi replied, pushing the grin off his face in favour of his usual stoic expression. Sighing, Kairi calmed herself down and adjusted her hair.

"It did amuse me though." Itachi said thoughtfully.

"What did?"

"The look on your face when I caught you."

Kairi glared at him.

"That wasn't funny."

"If you say so." Itachi snickered, walking past her. Fuming silently, Kairi followed him.
