Kunoichi Syndrome: Senior Year

Chapter 4 Paranoia

"Nai! (No way!) I'm not letting you poison people with your darkness anymore Sasuke Uchiha! I won't let you claim my kouhai! You're dead!" I wake with violent trembling.

Itachi gently places two finger on my forehead. I continue to tremble in my lover's arms.

"My dear, what's wrong?" Itachi asks.

"Sweetheart you're only paranoid, I'll take care of things around here." Itachi hugs me.

Itachi immediately lulls me back to sleep. I feel completely defenseless. Kisa chan senses this as the bond between us indicates. She rushes into the master suite.

"Itachi tan, is Neechan alright? Something has got her really paranoid. I'm worried." Kitty sighs.

"Kisa chan, she'll be alright. Let's just say that 'little brother' has fallen for 'naive one'. She just doesn't approve of this." Itachi explains.

The next morning, I wake up screaming, searing pain takes over my body. Kakashi kouhai burts in my room bearing bad news.

"Sempai, your cat transformation is a curse. It's only going to get worse. Madara is the one who put it on you. There's nothing you can do." Kakashi chan cries.

"Bullshit. Who told you this?" I say taking a demonic tone.

"Sasuke Tenshi." Kakashi chan shudders.

"Where is he? What's he doing right now?" I fight back tears of pain.

"He went searching for some kind of scrolls, he doesn't want anyone to go after him." Kakashi chan sighs with worry for Sasuke.

"That fool, he went after the Neko Sutra Scrolls. They contain information to help Ashley. He needs someone with him if he's going after those scrolls." Itachi chimes in.

"Kouhai, Shinobi's love complex 101. When guys say they don't anyone following, they usually mean they only want you following. Unless that statement is followed by 'blank's orders', you go after him. So get packing, it's a green light from here. Don't you dare stall on me, dismissed." I strain myself to speak. "Itachi kun...the pain...make...it...stop...It hurts..."

"Big Sister, that's enough. Just rest. I'll run things around here. I can do it." Kitty pipes up.

"Iie, Deidara and Dei cha will be running things... Kami sama...tasukate...Itai!... Kitty... just...behave...like...a ...good...sister...would...Itai!" I push myself.

"Shite kudasai teishi shimasu. Watashi no me ni mite kudasasi. Kotobao hanasu koto shinaide kudasai. Mangekyou...(Please stop. Look into my eyes. Don't say a word. Mangekyou...)"Itachi whispers putting me to sleep.

I awaken a week later, with Itachi at my side. Sasuke and Kakashi kouhai have the Neko Sutra Scrolls open. I can tell they're worn out.

"What the hell was that for Itachi kun?" I yell.

"I had no other choice Ashurii chan. I'm glad you're feeling better now. You're free of that curse Madara put on you. He wanted to enslave you for your Eyes. Tell me something, when did you first run into Madara?" Itachi sighs.

"Nakano Shrine mission." I answer.

"We need to talk later don't we?" Itachi asks.

"Hai." I nod. "Everyone, dismissed."
