Chapter 10…the big "1" "O"!! 8D
Sunna continued to walk with the new woman, Konan, in her home. She kept her head somewhat lowered. She glanced around every now and then to look and Konan's home. Her home was coloured the same as the living room, and everywhere there was a decoration made from origami. There was origami cranes, swans, flowers (many of these), butterflies; the list went on and on.
'She must be really good at origami.' Sunna concluded.
Then Konan opened a door. She walked inside a room. Sunna cautiously followed after her. When she stepped inside, she saw that they had walked into the woman's bedroom. It wasn't like Itachi's room at all. The walls were a different shade of blue than the rest of the house, and instead of carpeting, it was hardwood flooring. There was a painting on one of the walls, of a city, taking up most of the wall. She also saw that Konan had a wardrobe in her room, along with a large closet. Next to the wardrobe was another door, probably a bathroom.
"Come on in, Sunna." Konan's voice cooed. Sunna lightly shook her head and nodded. She walked over to Konan who was beside the wardrobe. Konan looked Sunna up and down.
"Now," she said. "You're smaller than me in size most likely, so some of the clothes may or may not fit." Sunna nodded. The woman then turned to the wardrobe and opened it. Over her shoulder she said, "What size are you?"
"Uhm, s-shirts or pants?" Sunna asked timidly.
"Both."
"M-Medium shirt and size 8 woman's pants." She answered. Konan nodded. She started to look through and rummage the clothes in the wardrobe.
Curious to what was exactly in there, Sunna moved her head to the side, to see past Konan's body. In the wardrobe were black pants and shirts, like what Itachi wore, only a different style; more feminine. She also saw many Akatsuki Cloaks neatly put on hangers. She wondered if she was going to be given a cloak to wear too.
"Here," Sunna blinked and looked back at Konan. She had turned around and had many shirts and pants in her arms. She was carrying no cloak though.
"These are my older clothes. They may fit." Konan explained.
"O-Oh, thank you." Sunna said. She carefully took the clothes from Konan into her own arms.
The woman gestured her head to the door near them. "Just put the clothes in there for now. We should see to that wound on your shoulder."
Sunna nodded and walked to the door. Konan walked with her, and opened the door for Sunna to walk in. Sunna stumbled a "thank you" out before walking inside.
She looked around in the bathroom. It was large and the walls were white, the floor also having hardwood flooring. There was a large counter with a big sink and different soaps on it. Drawers were under the counter, holding it up. To the left there was a large bathtub with a built-in shower. Sunna could see shampoo bottles on the ledges in the shower.
"We'll put the clothes on the counter for now." Konan's voice said. Even though she wasn't looking at her Sunna nodded, and placed the clothes neatly on the table's surface.
Konan walked up to her. "I'll help take those bandages off your arms." She said.
"Y-You don't have to, ma'am." Sunna said nervously.
Konan had a small smile on her face. "Please, call me Konan."
Sunna was nervous at first, but then she saw the friendliness in the woman's smile and in her eyes. Itachi was right. This woman Konan would not hurt her.
She stretched out her arm for Konan to remove the bandaging. Konan started to work carefully, being sure not to pinch Sunna as she took off the wrapping. Sunna watched as she worked. Then, when Konan had removed all the bandages, she saw her eyes widen a little. Sunna turned her head to the side. She was ashamed of the bruises and wounds on her.
Konan was silent. "Itachi didn't do this to you, did he?"
Sunna shook her head. "N-No. He didn't. Someone el-else did."
She could see out the corner of her eye that Konan had nodded. She saw her place the bandages on the counter. Then she started to work on the other arm.
"You're scared about living with Itachi, aren't you?" she heard Konan break the eerie silence. Sunna looked up at her, her eyes somewhat wide. Konan put on a light smile. "Come on, you can tell me. I'm a girl too."
"We-Well I…" Sunna stumbled with words. Her eyes sank to the floor. "I am." She whispered.
"Don't be."
"But why?" Sunna asked, looking back up at the older woman. "H-He's a man, and I-I'm going to be living all alone with him. An-Anything could happen…"
Konan nodded again. "You're in Akatsuki; it's okay for you to be scared. But I'll tell you this; As long as you're with Itachi, you'll be fine."
"W-Why?" Sunna asked curiously.
"Itachi is a man, you're right. But I have been on a few missions with him. He respects women, and he doesn't seem to have a slight interest in having a girlfriend or wife." Konan said. "I'm not sure if he's quiet because he's shy or just isolated, but I know that you'll be fine with him."
"Ha-Have you ever lived with him before…?"
Konan shook her head. She placed the wrappings from Sunna's arm on the counter next to the other ones.
"But think about it Sunna. I was told he almost broke Deidara's hand trying to keep you hidden from everyone. As long as you're with Itachi, he won't let any harm come to you." She started to search the drawers for something.
"He told you he wasn't trying to take advantage of you, right?" she asked while searching.
Sunna nodded. "He did say that…a few times…"
"From what else I know about Itachi, he does keep his word." Konan replied. "And besides, I'll always be here. If anything happens, you can tell me right away." She had finally finished searching and stood up with a roll of bandaging.
"You will?" Sunna asked. "Is…Is there any other…women…in Akatsuki?"
Konan shook her head again. "I'm the only one Sunna. But you can trust me. Now, let's see to that shoulder wound, shall we?"
Sunna nervously nodded. She started to take off Itachi's shirt while turning around so Konan could inspect the injury. She was starting to trust Konan too.
'She seems like a friendly person. And Itachi said she wouldn't hurt me…' Sunna told herself. She shivered when she had the shirt off fully. She only had her bra on underneath. She felt Konan's hand touch her right shoulder.
"Sunna, I'm going to wash off the wound a bit, okay? Just to clean it and keep it from infection."
Sunna nodded her head. She heard Konan rummage through some more things, and then turn on the tap. The water was on for a bit, then she heard it turn off. She jumped when she felt a warm, wet cloth on her shoulder blade.
"Sorry." Konan said, gently rubbing her shoulder. She was trying to calm her down. Sunna did, but she remained stiff as Konan washed the wound.
She heard the tap turn on again, and then it was turned off shortly after. Then she felt a towel being rubbed on her back to dry it off.
"Sunna, I'm going to wrap it up now, alright?" Konan asked.
"Y-Yes." Sunna replied. Konan set to work immediately, doing her best to bandage the wound in its awkward place. She wrapped the bandages over Sunna's upper arm too.
"I'm putting some bandaging on your upper arm too, so the wrapping with stay in place." She explained. Sunna nodded again as Konan resumed her work.
oOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOo
It had been a short while after Konan had finished wrapping Sunna's wound. After, Sunna tried on the clothes Konan had picked out while the older woman waited outside the door. Sunna finally tried on the last shirt, and then changed back into Itachi's clothes. She opened the door and stepped outside to meet Konan standing patiently.
"Did they all fit?" she asked.
"Some of them did…only the shirts though…" Sunna trailed off to show Konan the shirts that fit. The woman nodded.
"That's fine. I have some more you can choose from." She took the clothes that didn't fit from Sunna and neatly put them back in the wardrobe. After she gestured to the closet and walked. Sunna followed behind.
"Sunna," Konan said while opening the closet's doors. ", let's see what fits you in here."
Sunna widened her eyes at all the clothing. There were many different kinds of shirts, dresses, skirts, pants (very decorative and not like the pants she tried on earlier), and kimonos. They were an arrangement of colours, all of them. From blue to green, yellow to red, and so on. Many of the clothes had very artistic and admirative designs on them, and looked like they were made of very expensive material.
"You…You wear all of these?" Sunna asked facing Konan. The woman gave a small chuckle.
"Not all of them, only a few. Some I just have to admire. Those are the ones that are too small for me; they should fit you." She moved out from in front of the closet.
"Go on, look and see what you like." She encouraged. She watched as Sunna slowly walked to the large closet to see all of the clothes.
Sunna lifted her hand to feel the material of a shirt. She glanced quickly at Konan, to make sure she was allowed to touch the clothes. Konan nodded, a small smile on her lips. Sunna turned back and held the clothing in her hand. It was soft and silky; it must have been very expensive.
Sunna looked through all of the clothes, finding a few things that looked her size. She finally skimmed through and found something that caught her eye. She stopped to pull out the clothing. It was a yellow blouse with decorative, small, orange suns here and there on it. It was made up of different shades of yellow, both light and dark. Every now and then Sunna could see some faint orange blending in with the different yellows. She looked the blouse up and down, admiring it and all its beauty. What she happily noticed was that it went down to mid-chest, like her previous style of blouses did.
Sunna was snapped out of her little world when she heard a voice from behind her.
"Do you like it?"
Sunna turned to Konan nodding. "I-It's beautiful."
Konan beamed at her words. "I found it a few years ago in a foreign country. It's one of a kind too. You'll never find another like it."
Sunna nodded at what Konan said. This blouse was very special. Too bad Sunna couldn't have it. She could hear how much Konan liked it.
"Of course, it never did fit me. It's meant for rich teens as casual wear." Konan said. She gave Sunna a little smile and eye.
Sunna blinked and looked back at the blouse. 'Is she saying that I can have it…?'
"D-Do you mean that you want me to…" Sunna trailed off to look at Konan. She smiled and nodded.
"It suits you so well." she shrugged. Sunna couldn't help but smile. She was happy to be able to have the blouse.
"Th-Thank you so much Konan, ma'am!" she exclaimed. She looked at Konan with admiration and joy. "How can I-"
"You don't have to do anything Sunna." She interrupted her, waving her hand up and down.
"I'm just happy that I can help you. Now, let me show you some other blouses that I have like that…" she said walking towards Sunna.
oOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOo
Finally Sunna and Konan started back to meet Itachi. Sunna had found a total of five shirts, two pants, a skirt (That went down to her knees), and four blouses. After Sunna had made sure that the clothes fit, Konan gave her a traveling backpack to put them in. Konan had also given her some hygienic supplies, like shampoos, conditioners, soap, and her own hairbrush and toothbrush.
When they entered back into the living room, they saw Itachi. He had his eyes shut and leaned comfortably back into the couch. His hands were patiently sitting on his lap. Upon Sunna and Konan's entrance, he slowly opened his eyes and turned to them. Sunna blushed lightly when she saw him glance her up and down, looking at her new outfit.
Sunna had changed from Itachi's clothes into some of the clothes Konan had given her. Konan of course had to talk her into changing, seeing as Sunna thought she would offend Itachi by changing.
Sunna was now wearing a pair of dark blue pants, decorations of gold dragons and flowers embroided on the sides. She wore a simple light green shirt, with a sky blue blouse on over top, reaching halfway down her chest.
Itachi lifted his head a little to her. "Those seem like more fitting clothes for you, Sunna."
Sunna lowered her head. "Ko-Konan helped me pick them out…"
Itachi turned his view to Konan. "Konan, I appreciate you lending Sunna clothes. If there is any way that I can make up for your kindness…" he tailed off, probably expecting Konan to fill in her wish.
Konan shook her head. "No, it is my pleasure to help such a young and beautiful woman like Sunna. Thank you for bringing her to see me."
She bowed her head to show her gratitude. Itachi returned the bow, only not dipping his head so much. He got up from the couch, and walked over to Sunna.
"I think it is time to leave now, Sunna." He said to her. Sunna looked up at him and nodded. She quickly turned to Konan.
"Konan…Thank you for lending me all of this stuff." She said bowing. Konan gave a small bow in return.
"Thank you for seeing me Sunna. I enjoyed your company." She replied. Sunna noticed the small smile on her face and returned it with her own. Konan turned to Itachi.
"Itachi, if she ever needs help, or anything, please let me know. I will be happy to help her. In fact, I wouldn't mind seeing her a little more." She looked to Sunna with a smile at this. Sunna looked up to her surprised. She really wanted to spend time with her? Sunna, out of all people?
Itachi nodded. "When she has time I will let her come and visit you. For now, we must be off."
Sunna felt Itachi wrap his arm around her side. She flashed her eyes at Konan nervously. Konan gave her a small nod, reassuring Sunna she would be fine. She relaxed at the woman's silent message. She could trust Konan, she knew it.
"Allow me to show you to the door." Konan offered. Itachi nodded. All three of them started to walk to the entrance of Konan's home. Konan opened the door for Itachi and Sunna to walk through.
"I hope to see you both soon." she said kindly. "If you ever want to come for tea, feel free."
Itachi nodded again at her. "You are a wonderful hostess, Konan." Sunna recognized that he was saying a polite good-bye.
"B-Bye Konan." She said to her before she left. After she said her farewell, Itachi started walking with her. She heard Konan shut the door as they started to walk away.
They walked back to Itachi's place in silence. Sunna kept her head lowered as she usually did when they walked.
'I wonder what time it is…' she thought to herself. She didn't know how long she and Konan had been browsing for clothes.
Itachi finally stopped walking. Sunna lifted her head to see him opening up his front door. He opened it, and gestured her inside. She nodded, and walked in. Itachi followed after, shutting the door.
"Uhm…Itachi?" she asked when he turned to her again.
He lifted his head a little. "Hmm?"
"What…What time is it?"
"About quarter to twelve."
"Oh…okay…" She said. She shifted the backpack nervously. "Uhm…where can I…?"
Itachi walked up beside her. "The clothes you can leave in my room for now. The hygienic supplies can be put in the bathroom. I'll show you where to put everything."
Sunna nodded with regret. She felt nervous that Itachi would see everything Konan had given her. When she looked back up she saw Itachi moving forwards. She jumped before quickly catching up with him.
Itachi showed her into the bathroom. It was about the same size as Konan's, with a very similar look to it. One of the only things different was that there wasn't as many shampoos and soaps.
Itachi showed her where to put everything, giving Sunna her own drawer under the counter. After she organized it (with him standing nearby), he showed her the rest of the bathroom. That way, she knew where to find everything.
"I'll show you the rest of my home after you put away your clothes." Itachi told her last.
"O-Okay, Itachi…" she said. "Where can I put them?"
"Just put them on top of the dresser for now." He answered.
Sunna nodded, before walking out of the bathroom slowly. She walked to Itachi's room and started to unload the clothes on top of the dresser. Not long after she began to unload the bag she heard the front door open and then shut rather loudly.
She stood still and silent. 'I didn't hear Itachi walk by…So…so who walked in? Or out?'
She put the backpack down on the bed. She walked quietly to the doorway. She stopped, and took a deep breathe. Just who could be out there?
"Hey, Itachi? Are you in here?" she heard a voice call out from the hall.
She eventually walked out of the room. She turned to the doorway automatically to see who was there. She froze immediately and widened her eyes at who she saw.
"Ita-" the voice cut their-self off. Sunna saw the person looking right back at her.
There was a long and eerie pause as they both stared at each other. Finally, one of them spoke.
"Who are you?" the person asked in an angry and surprised tone.
Aaaaaaannnnnnnddddd….weeeeee…..shaaaaallllllll…..leeeaaaaave….iiiitttt….aaaat….THAT! HA HA! (evil laughter)
