Thanmks to all who reviewed! And a special thanks to Annonymouspowers for her review! Thanks!
Chapter 8
I continued to run until it felt like my lungs were about to burst. I sat down in the middle of a field, and cried.
-akatsuki HQ-
"what was the yelling about?" asked Hidan, once Deidara returned to the meeting room. The blond stayed silent as he sat back down.
"what happened?" asked Pein
"nothing, Leader-sama." replied Deidara, his eyes downcast. It was obvious to the other members that something was bothering the artist.
"The truth."
"Kia's gone. She may not be back till later tonight." He replied mechanically.
Pein wrapped up the meeting and dismissed the members. They all left.
"What in the world is going on between Kia and Deidara?" wondered Pein, after the last member had left the room.
-itachi's POV-
After the meeting, all of us went to the living room. Konan turned in the tv and began watching 'bleach'. I sat on one of the two couches.
I began to think about what Kia had told me a few days ago.
"I'm confused." She stated. I waited for her to continue.
"I understand that Dee doesn't want me to fight. Or rather, to kill. He thinks of me as that 8 year old girl he took care of. I'm 20 now."
Again I waited for her to continue. It seemed like if I was going to say anything, she would not talk any more.
"I really love Dee. But he can't get over the incident. He doesn't realize that I know it was an accident." Tears began to fall. She rubbed her eyes with the back of her hand. "I-i..." trailed Kiari. She never finished that sentence.
"What's so great about Deidara?" I asked. That made her stop crying.
She looked at me with dead eyes. I unconsciously flinched. The last time I had seen eyes like those was when my whole clan was murdered by Madara.
"Dee is a good person. He is stubborn to the point of being annoying. Yet, so are most of the other members. Dee is the only person who knows what to do when a crisis occurs. At home though. Dee is the one person who-" Again, Kiari trailed. I watched as she began to sob.
I remembered how she looked at me with dead eyes. how much they resembled Madara's. How much they scared me. It was weird, thinking about something that scared me. I am Itachi Uchiha, a person who is not scared of anything, and a person who was blamed for the death of my whole clan. When Kiari had been crying, i remembered the look on Sasuke's face when I left. Their faces had been the same, and both broke my heart to some extent. More so for Sasuke.
"Yo, Earth to Itachi!" called Sasori
"What?"
"Fishy is looking for you."
"Okay." I got up and walked towards my room. Kisame was standing in-front of it.
"Sasori tole me you were looking for me."
"Yea. We need to talk."
"Shoot."
"What?"
"It means get on with it." I said, somewhat annoyed.
"Ever since you had that talk with Kia, you have been distant."
"How is that something new?"
"More so that usual. You also have been thinking a lot. What's gotten into you?"
I paused before answering. "Can you forgive people that have say, killed your parents? Then you stay with the murderer because you 'love' them?"
"You aren't making any sense..."
"Someone kills your family. Then you live with the murderer. Can you forgive the murderer?" I said, slowly this time.
Kisame thought for a second. "I guess so. If the murderer had a legit reason to kill the parents."
"What if their death was an accident?"
"Then, no. And why the heck are you asking me all these questions?"
"No reason." I walked away, my head spinning from what I now knew.
-Flash back-
Kiari ran ahead of Itachi, a large smile plastered on her face. She, Itachi, and Deidara had gone on another mission. again, Kiari killed some people and she was smiling the whole time.
"Ita-kun, what's going on in your head?" she asked. Deidara had already gone back to the Hq.
"Hn."
"Be social! People will be kinder to you then!" She laughed, and turned to look at the Uchiha.
"Nothing."
"You sound like a girl. I know when something is bothering Dee and when I ask him about it, he says nothing. And nothing means: keep asking me."
"I want to know about the incident that you talked about yesterday."
Kiari stopped smiling. She sat down on the grass and hugged her knees.
"i'm not supposed to talk about it. It's bad enough that you got to hear a little about it yesterday." Kiari looked like she was going to cry. Itachi sat next to her.
"Tell me." he demanded.
"Why do you care?"
"You got my interest yesterday."
"Promise you won't use it to blackmail Dee?" She asked, her voice joking.
"Sure."
"When Dee got the mouthes on his hands, there was an accident. I can't remember all the details clearly but, i do remember seeing him kill my parents. I've lived with him ever since."
"Why would you live with the murderer of your parents?"
"Dee is my family. I know it was an accident. so..." she paused and wiped at her eyes. Kiari looked at the sky, sighing.
Itachi looked at the girl beside him. She was strong and she held in all the bad things that had happened to her. She was kinda like Him in a way.
"You don't know how good it feels to be able to tell someone." Kiari laughed and turned to Itachi. "Now you have to tell me something that is very secret about you!"
"Why?"
"It's only fair, Ita-kun!"
"I am blamed for the murder of my whole clan. When Madara Uchiha was the one who killed them all."
Kiari looked at itachi with shock and a little bit of sadness. "So...you don't have a family anymore..."
"My little brother is still alive. He hates me because I left Konoha and came to be with the Akatsuki."
"Well...lets be a family together!" Said Kiari. she didn't like seeing Itachi look so...well...sad.
"What?"
"You can be part of my family! Dee's in it too!" Smiled the blonde. She held out her pinky.
"No." Itachi looked disdainfully at the pinky. Kiari glared at him and grabbed his hand, forcing him to hook pinky's with her.
"Done! you're part of my family!" Laughed Kiari. It was as if nothing bad had ever happened to the hyper girl.
