When two friends understand each other totally, the words of love are soft and strong like an orchid's perfume.- Tse, King

Weeks went by as Itachi and I threw ourselves into missions after being promoted to Jounin. We soon became the hot topic around Konoha as our reputation grew. Many civilian women began to gossip about the relationship Itachi and I had. It became quite annoying actually, as there was nothing going on between Itachi and I. Whatever. Let those good-for- nothing women think what they want.

I quickly weaved my way through the crowded streets toward the Uchiha Estate. I was meeting Itachi's family today, it is weird how I have known him sense the academy and yet I never met his family. Itachi wasn't too happy when he asked me to come; I could easily tell he was forced to invite me. And from the way he talked about his family I really didn't want to come either . I laughed a bit at the memory; he truly had a look of pure disgust on his face as he talked; he seemed to curse the very clan he was born into. He had once told me that if the clan was to be wiped out, he wouldn't miss a single one of them. (AN: Not even Sasuke. He hates sasuke.) His statement didn't surprise me, as I had met some of the Uchiha's on missions; and they truly where arrogant bastards.

As the Uchiha District came into view the sickly feeling of reality hit me. I had to put up an act for these people. These pig headed people would look down on me... and think they are superior to me. I saw Itachi waiting for me at the front gate of the compound. His face emotionless at first but soon softened when he saw me. I didn't smile; the ill feeling still in the pit of my stomach, "Do I have to be nice?" I heard him sigh, "Just be polite. I don't want to do this anymore than you do. It will be over before you know it."(Suggest you listen to Snow by Vitamin Quartet ) Itachi lightly squeezed my 

shoulder as we began to walk through the gardens that lead to the front door. My hand seemed to move on its own as it softly grasped Itachi's own hand. Our fingers intertwined, fitting perfectly together. The ill feeling began to recede and new warmth took over my body. (1) The warmth I had felt before our first mission seemed petty compared to the heat that rushed to my face; It rippled through out my body, and I couldn't help but smile up at Itachi. He returned it with his own smile that sparked in his eyes.

I gasped softly as his hand gently cupped my check. Instinctively, I stepped closer toward him, our bodies only inches away. I suddenly desired, no needed to be close to him. The feeling grew stronger, till I couldn't bare it any more. I closed the distance between our bodies. I embraced him fitting perfectly into his body the way two puzzle pieces would. Itachi slowly wrapped his arms around my waist pulling me closer toward him.

We stood hugging each other in the gardens for what seemed like hours. Our rising and falling chests matched perfectly. Our hearts beating so fast yet as one. Frozen in time, as nothing else mattered but each other.

We eventually went inside the compound, much to my disappointment. Itachi's mother, Mikoto, had greeted us with a warm smile that seemed lifeless compared to Itachi's smile in the garden. Despite that, I greeted her politely and bowed slightly. Mikoto waved the formalities' off, and led us into the dining room where the rest of the family was. She began to introduce everyone to me, and I got the feeling I wasn't welcome in the house. A few of the older adults had the nerve to glare at me, and I glared back making them flinch.

The Uchiha family was different from other families I had seen before. It was a formal family; there was no laughing at the table or casual talk. If it wasn't related to the Police Force, Ninja, or the clan it wasn't discussed at the table. The males of the family had made it crystal clear that they thought women had no place on the battle field; and that we are just breeders. My 

temper flared as soon as the words left their mouths. A smirk was plastered on their faces; just waiting for me to start a fight but I wasn't that stupid. I wouldn't play this trivial game for their own amusement. I was impassive, like Itachi, for the remainder of the night. I was just a presence, never talking, just observing in the shadows, just like the tool I was.

The night finally ended and I was free from the dark, corrupted house hold. I truly felt bad for Itachi. Having to live with those people every day…it was overwhelming just being there one night. I swiftly left the house with Itachi. The night air was crisp and welcoming as we ran through the village. Our destination was out in the Konoha forest, where our 'secret' spot was. It was a small river with a cave underneath the waterfall. We had found it when we were coming back from a mission when we were still genin. The secluded waterfall was illuminated by the full moon's radiating light. "Wow…" I breathed; Itachi nodded his head as he began lifting his shirt. Confused, I asked, "What are you doing?"

He laughed softly, " I didn't just come here to look at it. Get in Suku." I raised one eye brow but complied. I tugged my shirt off showing my flat stomach. I kept my bandages on under my shirt, as well as my spandex shorts. Itachi was waiting for me with only his cargo pants on. I smirked as I stealthily made my way over to him. He seemed preoccupied, and I sprung my trap. I jumped onto his back, and taking him by surprise, we both fall face first into the water. I don't think I remember laughing so hard in my life; the look on Itachi's face was priceless. Then of course Itachi wanted revenge, and the wrestling in the water began.

"This is nice…" I whispered as Itachi and I laid down on the grass, our previous wrestling match ending in a draw. "I don't think I have had this much fun sense our Genin days." He nodded slowly before speaking, " Suku, about earlier…" I raised my head looking over at him 'Was he going to apologize for what happened in the garden?'



"It was well…amazing. I have never felt so happy to be alive in my life. Ever sense I met you Suku, I have changed. You have changed me. I..Well…um…" He seemed to stumble for the word's which was very unlike him. He stood up thinking, I successful repressed my laughter with a smile as I got up. He finally created the words of which he tried so desperately to find, "What I'm trying to say is Suku…I love you." My eyes widened, 'what did he just say?' All these years of wanting to know mothers warm touch, a kiss on the head, to be told 'well done' and…to be loved. And here I was standing in front of Itachi who…loved me. I finally had someone who loved me; Tears of joy treaded down my face, 'Finally'. I threw myself into Itachi's arms, making us both fall to the ground and our faces inches away from each other.

"I love you too" I whispered, it was barely audible as I stared into his glistening eyes. He gently cupped my face with his soft hand that radiated warmth. I felt the need to be close to him well up inside of me. The intense feeling almost pulling me toward him, though it wasn't painful; I gave in to the need, and I slowly leaned forward and pressed my lips gently into his; not moving, or forceful just waiting for him to react. After 3 seconds, Itachi lips moved against mine. He tasted like sweet strawberry pocky, with a hint of cinnamon. It was intoxicated, and it made me want more of him. I pulled my body closer to his, as he wrapped his arm around my waist. The need to be close to him came back and filled my stomach with butterflies.

Our lips parted as the air filled our lungs, and after a minute we were able to get our breathing under-control, but our racing hearts continued to dance on refusing to stop loving. I smiled as I heard Itachi's heart beating perfectly in sync with mine. I shifted my position so that my back was on his chest and my head on his shoulders. A small breeze blew by our waterfall making me shiver. But I didn't care about the cold, I was with Itachi and that's all that mattered in my eyes.




Itachi and Suku ended up falling asleep against a tree near the waterfall, both clinging to each other, afraid to let go.

The smiling Fire Shadow of Konoha looked down at the scene in his crystal ball. He knew putting them together would benefit everyone, especially Suku and Itachi themselves. But, the Professor realized that the two wouldn't be able to have many more moments like this. As a bird carrier had arrived carrying a message this morning that made the tan Hokage pale instantly.

Kumogarkure had declared war against Konoha.


It is kind of short so sorry about that, but I just felt like writing a sort of love scene between the two. Review! I want to know what you thought of the chapter!!
