The Life of Hana Mori

Ch.6

~Last time~

"Ok...let's see...it obviously says princess...and it's surrounded by a pink background...am I that girly?" I asked looking at Itachi who just shrugged.

"I guess so...let's head to the base...there is something I want you to see." Itachi said adjusting the bags again as I put on the ring and then we headed towards the base.

~Now~

After putting everything away, Itachi had me to follow him up to the roof.

"Why are we going to the roof?" I asked following behind Itachi slowly.

"I told you I wanted to show you something...but we have to hurry." Itachi said walking back over to me and grabbing my hand and pulling me to make me walk faster.

"Ok...i'm coming..." I said walking faster so that he wasn't dragging me.

"Almost there..." Itachi said, just lightly holding my hand now.

Within another minute, the two had finally made it to the roof just as the sun was setting.

"So what did you want to show me?" I asked looking around the roof, more like huge balcony.

"The sunset...it's a lot better seeing it here than it is from Konoha." Itachi said pointing out towards the reddish-purple sunset.

"Wow..." I said not knowing what else to say as Itachi pulled me towards the railing.

"It's beautiful isn't it?" he asked squeezing my hand lightly.

All I could do was nod.

"Let's go back in now?" Itachi said smiling at the fact that I still haven't moved even though the sunset was over and now the stars littered the sky.

"I wanna stay a little longer...since it's my first time up here...and I'm gonna be leaving soon..." I said looking at the ground.

"Leaving? What do you mean?" Itachi asked freezing near the doorway.

"A mission...apparently Konoha has started a search..." I said looking down.

"Why?" he asked moving towards me.

"According to Pein...someone told Tsunade, the current hokage...about what I really am." I said looking him straight in the eyes.

"When did Pein tell you?" he said getting even closer.

"This morning right before breakfast..." I said looking away.

~Flashback~

"Hana...come to my office with me for a second." Pein said to me as I walked to the kitchen.

"Ok...so what's going on?" I asked as soon as we got inside.

"Konoha...they've started a search for you." Pein said sitting down, indicating we might be in here a while.

"Oh...why?...I am of no use to them as far as they know." I said confused and thinking of how things have been changing so fast.

"The man..the friend of the one who caught you...he told Tsunade...she has Team 7 looking for you right now as we speak." Pein said leaning forward.

"Of course...now that they know what I am they want me...and they think that you guys will use the power for world domination.." I said scoffing at the idiots.

"What are you going to do?" Pein asked me knowing I wasn't going to let Konoha get anywhere near the Akatsuki.

"I'm going to drive them away from Ame...knowing them they have Kakashi's dogs with them...once the dogs pick up my scent, it'll lead them somewhere else...then i'll come back." I said leaning back, really wishing I had eaten before coming here.

"I'm gonna lead them to Iwa...on the other side of the world...after that i'll mask my scent and come back..." I said thinking of the farthest village.

"You must take someone with you..." my cousin said rubbing his head.

"I knew that was coming...who do you have in mind?" I asked leaning forward because my back was starting to hurt.

"You have to have our strongest member, which would be Itachi, and also someone who knows Iwa like the back of their hand, Deidara.

"The girly one?...Really?" I asked with a raised eyebrow.

"Yes...now let's go have breakfast...Itachi is getting impatient because he can't find you." Pein said with a little smirk.

~Back to current time~

"I was not impatient..." Itachi said denying what her cousin told her.

"Liar...I saw you walking back and forth before me and Pein even entered the kitchen.

"Whatever...when does the mission start?" Itachi asked looking up.

"Tomorrow afternoon...right before sundown." I said looking up at the stars again.

"Does Deidara know about the mission?" Itachi asked.

"Yeah..Pein told him after we left this morning." I said shivering a bit.

Itachi left real quick causing me to be confused, until he came back with a blanket.

"Thanks..." I said as he placed it over me.

"You're welcome...come...let's look at the stars before we can't see them again for a while." Itachi said wrapping his arms around my shoulders to turn me back towards the sky.

Itachi moved his arms to her waist before standing closer and resting his head on her shoulder.

"You ok?" I asked surprised by the sudden contact.

"I'm fine..." Itachi said, but I could easily tell he was lying.

"You're lying to me..." I said trying to move and face him, but the grip he had on my waist was to tight.

"So what? You can't fix the problem...so stay still and just look at the sky." Itachi said grumpy all of a sudden.

"How are you so sure? Look at me and tell me you don't think I can fix whatever problem you have." I said struggling even more and soon enough he let me go so that I could look at him.

"You can't fix my problem." Itachi said starring me straight in the eyes.

"Eyes...you're...you're going blind.." I said backing away a little.

"Do you still think you can fix my problem?" Itachi asked moving closer since I backed away.

"I don't know...but I can try...if you'll let me..." I said moving closer to him as well.

"How? No one knows how to cure blindness...especially when it comes from the mangekyo..." Itachi said looking down as soon as he got close enough.

"It will take some time...look at me..." I said making him look back up before I covered both of his eyes with my hands.

"What are you doing?" Itachi asked with his eyes closed.

"Checking how bad the damage is." I said not moving for about five minutes.

"Is it that bad?" Itachi asked noticing all the time that passed by.

"It's bad...but nothing that I can't heal...it will take some time...and during the healing you can't use it...even if it is your method of fighting." I said moving away slightly.

"Seriously?" Itachi asked me not believing me.

"Yes...the retina is tearing slowly...since I caught it early enough...it is still saveable..." I said smiling at him.

Itachi stood stunned for a second before he moved to fast for me to see him.

"Itachi where did you-.." I was cut off when soft lips landed on mine.

Itachi kissed Hana lightly before pulling away.

"Thank you...for uhh..future references..." Itachi said scratching the back of his neck.

"You're...welcome..." I said smiling awkwardly.

'THAT WAS MY FIRST KISS YOU LITTLE SHIT!' I mentally yelled...but was silently happy for it.

…...ohohhoho...damn you Konoha..can't you leave people alone for once?...kekeke kiss?...yep XD...and oh dear Deidara is going with them...third wheel status to the extreme XD...hope you like it :D
