Chapter 8: Wicked
Remina looked down on her wounded hands. They have just newly cleaned and wrapped. She sighed in contentment and raised her hands to take a good look, scanning each of the white thin lined fabrics firmly wrapped around her arms. Thank God, she had not forgotten to bring her little first aid kit together in her journey back then. She knew it would be handy in any unpredictable time.
She was no longer wincing and grunting on the open hallway instead of sitting restfully on her comfy bed. The unbearable pain was still there but getting lessened.
She has expected someone found her there but it was a hopeless thought. No body had crossed by even hearing her screaming for help. At last, she has struggled to get on her feet and headed to her room. Did all of healing things by herself. Deep inside her heart, someone will came to fetch her and treated her nicely the way that she deserves.
But as the new, 'unneeded' and ignorant member of Uchiha resident, she could grant nothing to them. She couldn't ask more because she was no important. Being shunned away, mocked and bashed. Those were pretty enough for her. Will she survive a few more days in here?
All the previous memories flooded back into her mind. Fugaku's fury, Itachi's blackmails and Sasuke's emotional eyes, every thing were too much to handle by an ordinary Grass girl. Remina shook her head in regret.
Part of her wanted to step back and another part warned her to do so. So much sick situation to face off and so much trouble will be come forward if she insists to fight away those circumstances. She knew it might not sound easy but it may be worthless without try.
The Uchihas have a very thick skull and she need to pick the sharpest nail to drill their minds off. And all the good wishes were on her shoulder. She had forgotten not long before how really she loved the life of challenge.
Challenges, obstacles and sadness increasing her sprit and guts and Remina had learned these before. There's no way she would be unbothered with their rudeness and stone head attitude.
"Don't lose your strength, Remina. Fighting and stand by your chance!"
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"I'll be there in a minutes!"
"BEEP!"
Itachi immediately shut off his cell phone and shoved it back into his pocket with rush. He frowned up irritatingly and clenched his knuckles hard. The bad news justly reached him up from Deidara, one of his trusted friends.
Seemed like his chest wanted to pop out in anytime from the quick beating. It wasn't because of nervous but anger. He really was furious inside. And it might be going to be a unlucky day for a certain guy, for making the one hot blooded young Uchiha to get mad and internally disturbed.
Itachi was confused and slightly lost his mind. The opponent who has just been mocking him is once of the strongest high school baddies in Konoha. The Kabuto guy, he had seen the guy once.
He remembered well the mocking leer on his face, His taunting eyes behind his rounded glasses. The guy looked weak by his skinny appearance but amazingly strong by his fighting skill. Itachi has witnessed these.
He knew well the guy's strong bond with a famous yakuza's head, Orochimaru-sama but this didn't mean Itachi was alone. He had his own men too. His loyalty Akatsuki gangs. And neither Itachi nor his members would afraid of them.
He has a great pride to look for and an ego to maintain high and almighty. To abandoned the challenge was big shame to him and he desperately need to prove himself as a man. To run away from this bet is cowardice and he doesn't want to let his friends and admirers pointing their fingers at his back.
Itachi is a symbol of their teenage guts and biotic. He loved to see peoples those he despise suffered greatly from loss. And glad to hear everybody need his protection and guide.
He had shut himself out from his family a long ago and why should he think about that by now?
Itachi leaned back against the column and sighed with unrest. Slowly he brought his pale hand to touch his left chest right on his heart. He clamped it hard. It was mysteriously hurt inside. He didn't know why but since a several months ago, the illness kept on bothering him. The bad feeling slowly slipped in between his pieces of crashed soul.
May it be a grudge for my sins? He shook vigorously and shuddered. He tried to breathe easily to ease the pain, mentally struggling to create the best strategy to defeat the arrogant Kabuto guy.
"What I've got to gain?"
"Maybe you should ask what I've got to lose."
Itachi quickly snapped his head at the anonymous voice. Remina was there, eying him suspiciously from the corner.
Itachi scowled and turned away. He wasn't suspected somebody was there. Maybe the girl has just heard all of his ranting by chance. Once again, the furiousness invaded his heart. It wasn't because of his coming up challenge but Remina's unexpected presence.
She always there when he got trouble and what sort of act the babysitter wanted to pull out? Was she going to blackmail him? Punished him or tell his father? Oh no! Neither of them was good. To think of Remina will be going to report to his father could it be the worst idea. He knew pretty well his father temperedness and the images of those demerits his father will be reward him kept on flowing back into his mind.
"So you heard me huh?" Itachi asked bluntly. Remina breathed deeply and tried to be relaxed as best as she can. "Well enough to my hearing range……I heard you everything."
Itachi huffed inwardly and shut his eyes. He felt like being trapped. The fiery babysitter shouldn't put her ear on all of his conversation. He gritted his teeth with rage. The thought of beating and bashing the helpless injured babysitter might be inhuman. But Itachi couldn't help himself to be innocent right in the moment. He seemed so desperate to run away. He was blinded by his emotion. If this is a right choice to ditch her then he should. Fuck all humanity! Fuck off kindness! Who care?
"And…."
"And what, Itachi-kun?"
Itachi chuckled lightly. To think this stupid babysitter would kindly care for him was a big mistake. It seemed funny. No one ever cared with him. No one knew his true inner pain.
"So…..What are you going to do? Stop me? Tell my father?"
Remina glanced up at the ceiling ignorantly and massaged her chin. Itachi's eyes narrowed at her from their corners. Sometimes he wondered why his father hired this idiotic unattractive looking girl. She absolutely wasn't suit to be a babysitter. Heck! Both he and Sasuke never wanted a babysitter.
Itachi only gave a dumbfounded look and was about to leave when Remina voiced out. "Actually…I don't even care what you up to but…since you're under my care so ….I couldn't care less a moment."
"Care huh? Tch! Funny…"
Remina smiled a little and folded back her arms. Itachi felt enraged inside from the slight sarcastically exclamation. He took that as a torment and shut off everything positive.
"Hmm…care?"
"Yes…"
"You're nothing to me!"
"Yeah, but doesn't mean you're anything to me."
Itachi's breath hitched off but his expression still under controlled. "But you said you care…"
"Bouya, I'm just doing my job here. Nothing less and nothing more. If you want me to keep this secret, fine! I won't tell your father but…I won't let you doing anything stupid to yourself," Remina said firmly and stared hard at him.
"You're not my bodyguard!"
"Correct! I'm your babysitter and this what a babysitter must do. To look after her lord's children," she put both her palms on her hip and leaned over to him.
"You're very logic and stupid, aren't you?" Itachi snapped coldly.
"I might be logic but I'm not stupid…..You're the one who stupid!"
Itachi tensed up from their little childish fight. Never even once before people called him stupid and everyone in Konoha weren't had a right to mention the Uchiha prodigy stupid. Remina, you're dead girl. And Itachi was so sensitive in that part. He's genius after all, damn it! People acknowledged and recognized his nobility.
Luckily Itachi was unarmed otherwise the girl could lose her head right in time. "I'm no stupid, I'm a genius after all…" he said with a little deadpanned look.
"Huh! Like I care."
"But genius won't do anything stupid unless you're a dumbass…"
Remina was well alert that she has gone too far. Itachi's paled face flushed heavily from the furiousness plus the throbbing veins on his temple. But the girl only eyed him calmly, waiting for the next reaction from the young Uchiha.
"I know you mad but I won't take back my word…"
"I'm not a dumbass…" Itachi muttered out angrily with a shaky voice.
"And who are you anyway? Stupid?" Remina smirked lightly.
"STOP CALLING ME STUPID AND JUST FUCKING SHUT UP YOUR MOUTH OFF!" At last he screamed out his anger and clamped his left chest. It awfully hurt inside. Mysteriously very hurt. He didn't know the source of it but he wasn't care either.
Remina startled off on her feet. Now Itachi just went to act like his father. Scolding people under him and throwing tantrum out loud.
"Sorry, I mean nothing to hurt you….," Remina shuddered uneasily and swallowed hard. This conversation was getting hard than she had expected.
"I need no apology from a bitch like you!" Itachi cut her off and glared dangerously towards her.
"Bitch? Whatever …As long as I never put a grudge on you, it's okay."
"But I'm not okay and I want you step off my way. Get lost from my sight!"
"No, you're not going to leave," Remina tried to stop him when the boy was about to walk out from there.
"Stay out of my problem!" Itachi warned and showed his clenching fist. Remina backed away with raising palms. "I won't let you butt in fight," she gazed at him intently.
"Why the hell you want to stop me? You have nothing to be worried of."
"Wrong, I'm worry…I'm worry they will hurt you but the worst of it you're going to hurt yourself," she answered in a friendlier tone. Itachi felt like started to cry inside but he quickly erased the feeling.
"I used to that…"
"Should you live in the painful way?"
"Stop talking nonsense and GET THE FUCK OFF MY WAY!" Itachi suddenly made a shocking movement by kicking hard Remina's stomach, making the girl thrown backward and hit the desk. She went unconscious when the vase on the desk unfortunately crashed down upon her and badly bleed her head.
Itachi looked at the trail of blood on the floor in horror. Because of him Remina was fainted. Deeply down inside he felt guilty. Maybe he did too much. He reluctantly stepped back like Sasuke did when the little boy accidentally hurt her.
"Should I ….oh no…no I can't. She's a bitch! If you die here, I won't scare…you should be dead by taunting me, acting like you care but ….you're actually the true dumbass!"
Itachi only hissed in vexed and left away, never looked back at the helpless young blanked out babysitter.
