Chapter 6
"Losing Face"
YUUSHIMA
It wasn't like I was being a bad girl or anything.
I only tried to gouge her eyes out once.
So how the Hell did I get into this situation?!
Here I was, both my wrists stuck over top of my head. The Mother of that Mimic must've been a witch, there was no other logic behind her immense arsenal of Seals. She took one look at me and just seemed to know what kind of seal she needed. She was able to bind me to the wall of one room, Kisame and the Mimic Ishou watched with immense smirks -they clearly enjoyed my predicament- while Itachi just watched to make sure the binds were holding.
I had to admit, they were really really strong. I actually struggled with all my might to break loose, but with no prevail. For the first time, I was actually scared. Especially of the Mother, if she could do this to me, could she steal the Kyuubi as well? I tried not to show it, but that thought terrified me. Oh God, please let Naruto be safe, Kakashi you are watching my boy right?!
Everybody left the room once it was confirmed that I couldn't move. I reveled in the silence, a chance to rest, so I didn't try to escape since my enemy was resting. I would take this time to recover since Itachi didn't seem to be putting up any front to protect me at all. Wasn't I a big girl anyways? It shouldn't matter, no matter what revelation I came up with. I might love Itachi, but that didn't change anything. He worked for whatever organization he was in, he was a missing nin, he killed everything dear to me, he was a monster and an evil demon.
Yet with everything I listed, I felt more bile rise from my throat. Could I really make myself believe those things? Would I really believe those things? Never, because he did this to protect me. There was no way Itachi was a monster, and even if he was, he was only what I made him become. He did this for me and Sasuke, there was no way I was going to look down on him.
The door creaked open, but I was saving my strength so I didn't bother putting on a brave front. It was just the little Mimic, nothing to get worked up over anymore. There wasn't any point, my wounds were still bleeding after Kisame punched my scabbing gut when I tried to claw the bitch's eyes out for asking if I was their whore. There wasn't any point to this woman, I refused to give her the satisfaction of watching me squirm.
"Wow, you're such a sad thing, aren't you?" She said rhetorically, but I didn't move from looking at the floor in front of me as I hung off my bound wrists over my head. She walked right up to me, and I could see her bare feet in my vision. She cocked a hip and placed a hand on it, but I refused to look up to the smirk that was probably plastered to her face.
"So you must really be Kisame's whore, huh? I mean Itachi has me, but I guess Kisame just needed some sloppy second place huh?" The girl said, but I just let her say it. There wasn't any point in saying anything, because no matter what I said, she wouldn't believe me. She was so lost in her little world she probably wouldn't remember what a wake up call was until it hit her.
"So tell me, have you ever slept with Itachi?" She asked, but this made my head jerk a bit before I slowly lifted it to look at her. What the fuck kind of question was that? Itachi was fucking fourteen when he left, of course I hadn't! A nineteen and fourteen year old?! Ugh! What the fuck chick? You're sick.
"Oh, I was hoping you'd say that, you seem to be pretty clingy to Itachi, and I don't like that." She said sharply, as though she were scolding me. What did she think she was doing then? Keeping space as she only clung for life, but not dear life? Please chick, Itachi is out of your league. It was then that she got really close to me, and whispered into my ear.
"I just thought I'd let you know what you're missing, which is a lot. He's better than anything I could've imagined." She whispered, and it took me a moment to realize what she just said. My heart thumped a little harder, my chest felt incredibly tight as well. Was she saying what I think she said? Oh...Oh... I had never actually thought much about that before. With anybody really, but now that she said that I realized why I didn't like her. In a sense, she had just told me that she had Itachi more than I did, that she owned Itachi. Itachi was hers, was basically what she was telling me. I frowned a little at this, but just a margin. That was all she needed though as she pulled back to look at me with a smirk.
"Just thought I'd let you know, Itachi is mine." She said finally, confirming my suspicions as she turned on her heel for the door. I couldn't let her leave though, just like that with so much attitude. I couldn't just say nothing anymore, because nobody owned Itachi. He was his own being and didn't deserve treatment like this.
"Tell me," I began, making Ishou pause in her walk. She looked over her shoulder at me, and I smirked smugly at the thought running through my mind. I had to say something sharp, something that would hurt her even if it wasn't true. I tried to think of all those novels Kakashi and I had read, all of the pages and dramatic phrases, one really stuck out to me.
"I love you, and I could never live without knowing you were too." Itachi's quote to me before he left. Well, it was now or never.
"Tell you what?" She spat, not seeming to like the look on my face. I gave a wolfish grin, and she visibly quivered at the fiery look in my eyes.
"When you had your first fuck, did he call out your name?" Her eyes widened at this, and I knew I had hit the mark, so I continued. "Did he say yours, or somebody else?" She turned around to fully look at me with dread as I continued. "Did he, maybe, call the name, 'Shii'?"
It was like I had hit a bulls eye, which actually shocked me too. She started to move back towards me, trying to make me cower, but I never stopped grinning maniacally as she closed in on me. Her slap wasn't anything compared to Kisame's brute strength, in fact I barely felt it at all as she slapped me multiple times. The last one stung a bit, she left a cut across my cheek from her manicured nails, but I wouldn't stop grinning.
"See? I don't have to lift a finger, because you know, deep down, you're the real sloppy seconds." I said wickedly, and she screamed before pulling a kunai from her robes and lunging at me. What she seemed to have forgotten was that my legs were not tied down, so all I had to do was kick the bottom of her hand to make her let go of the blade. Then as she hesitated from shock I swooped my legs around her to pull her to me as she tried to back away. Her chest hit mine as I squeezed her lightly.
Apparently it wasn't light to her, because I heard a small crackle -nothing fractured...yet- and she screamed. She cried for her Mother, but I just crushed her a bit more.
"Shut up and listen, when your Mother comes in, you're going to tell her to undo these bindings, or I'll snap you like a twig, got that?" I growled, still holding my wolfish grin. In truth, that wasn't my goal, I just wanted to play this game a little more. This brat needed a wake up call, and I was about to shove that in her face.
Itachi and the Mother came in the room, the woman glaring at me full on.
"Let her go." She said, but I doubted she even believed she could change my mind.
"I don't think you're in any place to make demands. You see when you let a stray like this piss off the wrong people, you need to teach them a lesson." I said, slowly squeezing a bit more, making Ishou cry out in pain. "I could snap her like a twig and you know it, so either you find somebody to spoon feed me because I'm fucking starving, or you undo these bindings and find out how that goes for you." I said sharply, my eyes narrowing as I squeezed even more.
However, Itachi stood in front of the woman, stopping her from doing anything. He looked at me with his Sharingan, and I braced my self in preparation for the Tsukuyomi. What happened however, was not what I expected.
We were still in the nearly bare room, a bed to my right and a small table beside the two, but everything was different. It looked like it was sketched out, not actually real. My brow furrowed for a second -what was Itachi doing? He was still normal, but everything else wasn't.
"Put her down." Came Itachi's voice, for the first time in a long time, it was directed right at me. I almost frowned, surprised by how deep it had gotten, I never noticed. Yet I stood my ground, and squeezed a bit tighter. Something didn't add up, why was Itachi making his Genjutsu so obvious? Unless...
"Shii," He said, making my eyes widen out of their sockets. "Please."
Unless he wanted to talk to me in private.
Hesitantly, I began to relieve the pressure put on the girl being crushed by my heels, until I completely let her go and she fell to the floor. Itachi undid the weak Genjutsu, but I couldn't stop staring at him. Even after the woman dragged her daughter out, I still stared. It was quiet for a while, but I was too scared to break the silence.
He turned to the door, but before he put his hand on the knob, I broke the spell.
"Wait!" I cried, this was the moment I had always wanted, to stare at him and just take him in. I doubted to having this moment again, so I held it for as long as I could. Itachi stopped and looked at me, and for a moment I just lapped up those dark eyes, but then he was moving towards me and I felt myself tremble with excitement. Would he let me go? Was he still the Itachi I knew and loved? Or would he beat me, hurt me. At this point any reaction from him was better than nothing. I'd take a beating if it meant he'd show some kind of emotion.
He stood at a legs length from me, seeming to be taking me in as I did him, so I reached out a leg as though it were my hand. I wanted to touch him, to feel his flawless skin brush against mine like when he held me before. He looked down at my leg for a moment, before trying to turn and walk away. It was too late for that though, it was far too late for anything like that.
Between my toes I had caught the front of his cloak, so I lurched it back towards me, and dragged him to me. Our hips collided somewhat painfully, but I ignored it and quickly wrapped my legs around his torso. There was no escape now, but it seemed to me Itachi had other plans. The moment he turned around, his lips met mine. Ignoring the surprise, in fear of him pulling away, I lunged into the kiss eagerly.
There was no doubt in my mind, the fireworks that ignited inside of me when his lips kissed mine. I was in love with this man, and very much didn't want to let go.
"I'm sorry." I said, repeatedly between kisses. "It never should've been you." I whispered for fear of being heard by others in the house. Itachi's fingers traced my body. One hand cupped my cheek, the other glided up and down my back. He rubbed up against me, his tongue darting against my lips. His tongue danced with mine, and for a moment I thought that we weren't where we were. We were back in the meadow, killing time and having fun. Only we were the ages we were now, and we were kissing all the time and laughing and joking. We were happy.
I couldn't wipe the tears that were rolling down my face though, I couldn't escape either as the tears reached our joined lips. He pulled away and looked at me, and for a split second I could see. I could see the work of five years on the run, the weariness and desire to give in, but I could also see the fire that would never go out. Itachi, you still are my Itachi inside, uh? Yet as soon as I saw it, he closed it up.
His arms encircled me, his lips brushing against my ear as he held me close. He knew what I was trying to say, that I never wanted this for him, that he was supposed to be a hero of Konoha, not the shady background mess. I curled against him as much as I could, trying to remember his scent again -the same beautiful allure that I could never forget- the contours of his manned up body, and most of all, the feeling of his arms holding me.
"Why don't you listen?" He whispered, but I shook my head. As much as I wanted to bark back, I was scared it would end. This was all I needed, all I wanted, from him right now.
"By the way," I began, kissing his cheek softly. "I love you too, Itachi. You never let me say it, but I do, I really do." I said, trying to stop crying. He didn't deserve to deal with my tears, my problems, they were nowhere near as big as his. It seemed as though nothing had changed, he was still comforting me after all these years, like nothing had changed.
"You're such a fool." He said, before backing away from me. That same stony expression on his face, as though none of that had eve happened, but he wasn't the only one keeping face. I grinned my wolfish smirk again, showing some teeth.
"You say that, but who was the one that found a replacement to hold when you couldn't take it anymore?" I asked, daring him to challenge me back. I knew he was hiding, because Itachi couldn't protect me right now. Whether that was because Kisame would use that connection, somebody else might, or there was some bigger picture I wasn't seeing, I knew he couldn't. It didn't matter though, I was a Shinobi for a reason, I could protect myself for a reason.
He didn't reply to that, and I knew I'd hit a nerve. Itachi can hide from a criminal like Kisame, but he learned his poker face from me, so there was no way he could hide it from me for so long.
Now the question is: who's running this circus?

READ THE GOD MOTHER LOVIN' DAMN NOTE!
Holy Eff! Awesome reviews guys! I'm totally feeling a groove!
...Don't quote me though.
Anyway, figured I'd get this off my chest. I wasn't going to put any of it in, but it just kind of snuck in there as I was about the write a scene where Itachi hurts Yuu...but instead they make out... huh...
Ah well, hope y'all like it! What do ya think?
REVIEW OF THE DAY:
My Ashland: Wow, I really thought about your review. You seemed to take it to heart and it made me smile. I actually thought of it, and I think Obito was the pure love, because she honestly just wanted to be with him, have him hold her, love her. I see Itachi as the love that is taboo (because ever since he started to love her (which was around eight) it was most definitely taboo) love because he's something she can never have (unless she gives up EVERYTHING in her life). I see Kakashi as the mature love too though. He's the one that pushes her to become a real person, and challenges her like she challenges him. They both know each other better than anybody else, and I actually see them as the closest characters because they can fight all the time and still act casual... at least right now they can. So thank you for your review! It means a whole lot to me :D
QUESTION OF THE DAY: Do you think this story would be as cool if Yuu weren't a ninja? In the original draft, Yuu was not a ninja, and she was protected by Obito and then when Obito died he left her in Kakashi's care. Man there were so many things different from the original draft! If you'd like to know more, I can post it in the next chapter!
I know it's short, but I'm going to be busting out one more action chapter and am currently trying to get my shit together, man I haven't had this much spare time in a while!
