Chapter 10:
Trust & Phone Call
Previously:
He set his book down and stood up, then took the few steps to close the distance we once had.
"May I?" He asked with a hand out. I placed the phone in his hand, my fingers touched his skin in the process and I felt heat wash over me from within. I turned away, thinking that he would tinker with the phone in his seat. But he didn't, he found a new seat at my desk in the chair next to me. Oh, Great,I thought sarcastically.
I spent a while showing Itachi how the phone works and looking up my script's character. Apparently its was the role of a female Amazon warrior, named Zerra. When he saw me using the computer, he grew curious about it as well so I explained the foreign device to him. Throughout the entire time while I explained the dynamic to him, I had hot flashes. Heavy doses of heatwaves swept over my body every time our fingers accidentally touched or our legs bumped, causing me to scoot my chair a fraction of an inch away from him. I eventually ended up a good distance were our bodies could no longer make accidents. He never seemed to notice whenever I would pull away,or maybe he did, but just didn't seem to care.
"We have similar computers back in our world, however we don't have the thing you call 'internet'." I turned off the computer and turned to him as he continued, "It seems very useful."
"Yeah it is, especially with that site called 'Google' I showed you. It's pretty much the brain of the new generation."
"Why do you say that, don't you think for yourself?" *sigh*Another question, While I showed Itachi around the web he had asked me so many questions, all of which I had no answer too. If it wasn't for Google, I would have no answers for any of the man's questions He asked questions like:Who made the internet? Who puts up all the sites? Who controls the internet?..etc the list goes on. He's a very curious guy.
I never got annoyed or overwhelmed by all his questions, though. I actually enjoyed being able to talk to him, even if it was just answering question.
"I do think... well we do, it's just that you don't have to think to hard about anything when the answer is just a few keystrokes away. " He nodded in response. We sat there in silence for a moment, it was awkward for me since Itachi sat facing me in his chair and I knew his eyes were on me. Why was he staring at me for? I looked up at the black screen of the computer to see my reflection, there's nothing on my face. I looked back at him and he still sat there staring at me. Well, this is kinda weird.
"So...well I'm gonna go...um, see you later," I stood up to leave but was immediately stopped by a firm hand on my wrist.
"I still have some more questions for you."
"Yeah, sure." I took a seat feeling slightly embarrassed.
"How much do you know about me?"Oh no, not an Obito Uchiha moment part two. His voice was low and steady, his eyes red. His sharingans had been activated since I had been in the library. Did he ever deactivate those things? We were both so far back in the library that no one would be able to hear us.
"Um... not much." I looked away and avoided his gaze.
"I don't believe you." He grabbed the wood of my chair and moved me closer to him. "You already seem well aware of the Sharingans, since your avoiding my eyes." I didn't reply so he continued. " Pein says that you know about us because of a book called manga." Awe, how cute! He made a mistake.
"Actually, the book is a manga called Naruto." I corrected. He gabbed my face and made me look him in the eyes. It wasn't forceful though, it was more like he guided my face with his hands. Ah, so gentle, even when interrogating someone. Then he squeezed my face.
"Ouch!" I winced.
"I would rather not harm you. I just want to know how much you know about me, and make sure my secrets are kept safe." He had pulled my face so close that while he spoke I could feel his cool breath escape his lips. His voice was sincere and I could tell by his face that he was being honest.
"I know the truth about the Uchiha Massacre." I looked him directly in the eyes as I spoke, "I also know the reason of why you joined the Akatsuki." His eyes narrowed as he glared at me. "I promise you, that I will not tell anyone your secret... You can trust me." He scanned my face a couple of times. Searching for any hint of faults with my words, I held eye contact with him the entire time. When he finally came to the decision that I was capable person to keep a secret he released me. And for the first time ever I saw the real Itachi Uchiha, as he deactivated his sharingan.
"I trust you."
As I left the Library my phone started ringing.
"Hey mom!"
"Hey baby, is everything going alright with you?"
"Yeah, I'm alright. How's Venizuela?"
"Beautiful, simply gorgeous! You should have came, you would've loved it. And don't tell your father, but the guys here are as hot as the beaches."
"Haha, mom you know I would've melted under the sun."
"Jen told me that you received a script. Did you do your research?"
"Yeah, I did. I'm gonna take the role!"
"Oh I'm so excited for you sweetie, wish I was there to celebrate with you! But I'll see you in a few weeks, alright."
"Did they come yet?" I heard my father's drunken voice ask from the background.
"Did who come?" I asked. Was I suppose to be expecting someone?
"Quiet Ribeiro." My mother whispered.
"Who's dad talking about, mom?"
"Oh, um...Don't worry about it. Your father is just getting ahead of himself, unless... Kami, are you along in the house?" I went quiet. The only other people here were the Akatsuki. I hesitated about telling her about them, and she continued. "Has anyone come over to the house, Kami?"
"Why are you asking,mom?"
"Oh, forget it, it's nothing... Listen Kameal, there's something very important your father and I have to talk to you about when we get back. Anyways, love you and see you soon."Shit, she used my full name, this can't be good.
"Wait, mom who are you two talking about? Is someone visiting me?" I didn't get a reply as the line went dead.
Who are they talking about? I must be getting a visitor because the only people who have showed up at the house other than friends are the Akatsuki. And it can't be them that my parents are talking about...Can it?
***Please Review*** by SushiKamiChi
Hmm... Where Kami's parents talking about the Akatsuki? Or another guest?...Well, they can't possibly know a fictional organization appeared at the house. Could they?
Keep reading people! I promise that the plot thickens from here.
