Ah, crap. It's really really late, but at least I still updated on Saturday like I promised I would. Anyways, here's the time skip and the start of Itachi and Katerina's time as lovers.
I don't own Naruto.
Enjoy.
It was five years later Itachi remembered, that Shisui hatched a plan, and Itachi acted on it. This event had almost messed things up between them. It would have, if he hadn't had the guts to talk to her afterwards, and if she hadn't felt the same way.
"Hey Itachi!" The young Uchiha prodigy turned around to see his two best friends coming towards him. Shisui with the same cocky grin on his face as usual, and Katerina…
"Did you get new clothes?" Well, that didn't come out like he wanted it to.
Katerina however brushed it off and rolled her eyes. "Oh look, the Uchiha prodigy noticed I wasn't in boy's clothes for once."
Itachi twitched. "Shut up."
Katerina stuck her tongue out childishly. "Would you two lovebirds stop your bickering?"
Katerina blushed and hit Shisui on the shoulder. "We're not lovebirds." She hissed.
"Whatever you say."
"You're unbelievable. Anyway I was thinking we should go hang out in the old meeting place. We haven't been there for a while."
Shisui shrugged. "That's good with me."
"Hn," Itachi muttered.
Katerina punched him in the shoulder. "Would you stop with the one syllable responses?"
Itachi smirked and did it again just to annoy her. "Hn," She went to hit him again but he caught her wrist and pulled her to him so their faces were just a little ways apart. "Are you really going to do that again?"
Katerina felt her face heat up as she gasped and Shisui whistled in the background. "C'mon little cousin, why don't you just kiss her?"
Katerina turned redder and pulled away when Itachi let her go. Itachi looked at his cousin slightly pink. "Shut up Shisui." Said boy just smirked.
The three friends entered the woods together, but as Itachi and Katerina entered the clearing they noticed Shisui was no longer with them.
Itachi looked at Katerina. "Did you…?"
She shook her head. "No,"
The next thing Katerina knew she had been shoved from behind and landed on top of Itachi, whose hands had instinctively wrapped around her waist. They both turned red, but neither moved. Katerina was staring at Itachi questioningly, and suddenly he grabbed the back of her neck and gently kissed her. Her eyes widened and he pulled back.
"Itachi…"
"Ha, I knew that would work!" The two turned their heads and saw Shisui standing there with a smirk on his face.
Katerina quickly got off of Itachi and stood facing away from him with a blush on her cheeks. "Um, maybe we should get together at a later date." She said.
Shisui and Itachi watched her walk away. "I hope I didn't just mess things up." Shisui said looking at his cousin.
"No, it's fine. I'll go talk to her later. Besides, if you hadn't done that, I never would have had the nerve to do what I did."
"What, kiss her?"
"Yeah…"
"Okay lover boy. Just make sure you talk to her." Shisui said before heading off in the direction of his house. Itachi looked back in the direction Katerina had left before turning toward his own home. 'Katerina…' He thought. 'Did I…really just do that?'
Later that night Katerina was sitting on her bed looking at the picture of her, Shisui, and Itachi. 'Itachi, why did you…' She wondered. 'Did…did that mean what I hope it did, or was it just a spur of the moment thing?'
Just then she heard a knock at her window and looked to see a familiar fourteen year old on the ledge. She sighed and went to open the window. She opened it for him and then turned away without a word.
"Katerina…" She didn't move. "Katerina please look at me."
"Why did you kiss me Itachi?" She asked seriously. "Was it because you wanted to, or did you and Shisui plan the whole thing?"
"Katerina, Shisui planned it yes, but I had no idea. As for the second part, you should know better than anyone that I don't do anything without meaning it. Especially something as serious as that, I wouldn't do that to you. I…I love you Katerina. I have for a while."
"Itachi, you…" Katerina looked at him. "You mean that don't you."
"Every word."
"I love you too. I have since the first time you came to my room through that window." She looked at him and set her hand on his cheek. "I love you Itachi, I truly do." With that she leaned forward and pressed her lips to his, her eyes closing slowly as she felt him kiss back.
They pulled back for air and Itachi leaned back in deepening the kiss a bit, he ran his tongue along her bottom lip and she gave him access, but he didn't attempt to go farther than that, even after she pulled him back on her bed.
Itachi had just moved down again when a knock sounded on her door. "Kat, are you in there?"
"Oh shit, it's Kanashimi." She whispered urgently. Itachi quickly moved over to the window and as he was about to leave Katerina briefly pressed her lips to his again. "I'll see you later, okay?"
He nodded. "Definitely," He said smirking. She smirked back and with that shut her window before opening the door for her brother.
"Kat, are you okay? It took a while for you do answer the door."
"I'm fine, just tired."
Kanashimi's eyes narrowed. "Kat…why are you out of breath?"
"I'm not." She said a little too quickly. 'Damn it.'
"Kat don't lie to me, who was here?"
"What are you talking about?"
"Your lips are bruised." He said looking straight at her.
"Don't worry about it."
"I am worrying about it! You're my little sister Kat, now who was here?"
"Who do you think?! Who is the only person that it could be? I know you know Kanashimi. Don't act like you don't."
His eyes closed in frustration. "I knew this would happen." He muttered.
"What? That he would fall in love with me? That I would love him back?"
"He doesn't love you!"
"How would you know?"
"Just trust me Kat, he'll hurt you in the end."
"Get out Kanashimi! Just get out." She said turning away from him.
"Fine Kat, just don't say I didn't warn you."
Kanashimi left and Katerina sat on her bed and cried.
Well clearly Kanashimi doesn NOT approve of this. Wonder how that will affect things...well, you wonder. Anyways I hope all you awesome readers ghost or otherwise are enjoying this.
