Kasumi's mother

Kasumi's Pov~

Dream~

I was running through the trees, someone was chasing me, but I couldn't see who it was. I was beginning to get scared, as I jumped from tree to tree. As I was making a jump a Kunai hit my shoulder making me lose balance and fall to the hard ground. I looked up to see…Akane and the two ANBU staring, laughing at me. I slowly got up and held my shoulder, trying to stop the bleeding. "Well, well, well look at the little criminal." Akane said laughing

"Not so tough are you now." the first ANBU said smirking

I just stared at them in shock, I couldn't move! I began to tear up, looking at them, the people I killed. I slowly sank to the ground crying as they advanced on me, stabbing and punching saying things like "This is how it felt." "Feel our pain." And "Now it's your turn." I laid on the ground helpless, wishing they would stop, I began to see spots and fell into darkness…..

End of dream~

I woke up startled and sweaty, as I tried to catch my breath. My hands immediately went to cover my mouth to keep the sobbing in. I didn't want to wake Kisame and Itachi, especially Itachi since he was sleeping next to me. I knew I was shaking so I silently got up and walked out of the room. But what I didn't know was a pair of onyx eyes was watching my retreating figure.

I walked to the living room and sat on the couch, listening to my own raged breathing, trying to get control of it. I know people say your first kill haunts you, but I didn't know they meant it literally! I knew I probably wouldn't be able to go back to sleep, since I don't have anything to hold on to. Back when I lived with Akane I had a stuffed bear I would sleep with, when I was scared or angry I would hold on to it, and fall back asleep. That was the one thing I forgot to bring with me. I then remembered my mother's diary, and quickly went back to the room to get it. I opened the door with a small "creak" and tiptoed inside and to my drawer. I opened the very last one and removed the wood then pulled out the diary and put the wood back and softly closed the drawer. I looked back at Kisame and Itachi to see them still sleeping. I sighed softly then walked back out and closed the door with a "click".

I sat down crossed legged on the floor of the living room and opened the diary to the page I stopped at.

Dear diary

Kasumi is looking more like me day by day, or at least that's what our family and friends say. My husband though is coming home late now, every time I ask him why? He says he's dealing with business plans. Is he really? Or is he having an affair? Am I not attractive anymore? I hope he's not having an affair. I don't want Kasumi growing up not knowing her father. "Too late for that." I mumbled although he's been acting even more strange then he was before, I'm actually becoming afraid of him. I need to find out what's going on.

Keya~

H'm so my father is acting strange still? Wonder what's up his ass. I wanna know what happened to my mother though. As I moved pages of the diary a picture fell out, a picture of a very beautiful women, who looked…well like me. So this must be my mother, judging by her clothes I'm guessing she was a ninja. Cool! Ninja blood runs through my veins! Wait a minute what time is it? I checked the clock on the wall, it says it's…..1:35 a.m.! Are you fucking kidding me! I laid down on the couch closing my eyes, but quickly opening them again when I see Akane and the two ANBU. I started sobbing again, Akane did raise me, it may not have been the right way, but she still raised me. I curled up in a ball and cried, wishing someone would hold me.

I then heard someone breathing close to the couch. How could I not hear someone walk in! I moved my head and looked up to see Itachi standing over me, with an emotionless face. I squeaked out of surprise and ended up falling of the couch and at his feet. I quickly wiped away the tears that were still spilling out so it was really a wasted effort. Itachi bent down so he was crouching looking down at me. He studied my face then narrowed his eyes and asked with no emotion "Why are you crying. You're an S-ranked criminal you should not be crying."

I stared at him in shock then without warning more tears flowed down my face, causing me to look away from him. I heard him sigh then grab my chin making me look at him in the eye.

"What's wrong?" he asked in a softer tone

"The first kill it always the worst, right?" I asked tears still flowing down my face

His eyes widened, understanding what I was saying. He knew all too well about the ghosts that haunted your mind.

I still laid there staring at him, not knowing what to do. Until his eyes wondered to the picture, sticking out of the diary. He gently pulled it out and looked at it then at me then back to the picture. "She's my mother." I said softly he nodded in understanding then put in down

"We should get back to bed." He said suddenly looking away

I shook my head furiously and the tears continued to flow rapidly. He looked back down at me and sighed; he gently wiped my tears away with his thumps, then without warning picked me up bridal style. I blushed just now noticing he wasn't wearing a shirt, and the fact I was pushed up against his chest made me go from pink to red. At least were in the dark so he can't see right?

"We don't speak of this ok." I squeaked trying to get my voice back

He smirked "Your breakdown?"

"Yes." I said going redder if that was possible

He nodded then gently pushed open the door and set me on the silky sheets. He watched me for a minute, then shook his head and walked to the other side and laid down himself.

I knew I wouldn't be able to sleep unless I was being held and holding on to something. My eyes drifted to Itachi's form as he had his eyes closed and his forearm covering his eyes. I blushed seeing his muscles flex and the thought of maybe asking him to….well hold me.

"Um Itachi?" I whispered a little unsure if I should ask

"H'n." he asked moving his hands down his face then putting them behind his head

"U-um could you ma-maybe ho- hold me?" I stuttered

He put his arms down and turned to his side and leaned on his arm so he was facing me, his face showing no emotion.

"Yo-you do-don't have to!" I started "It ju-just helps m- me fall a-asleep!" I stuttered then shutting up since I sounded like an idiot

He stared at me, no emotion on his face; I didn't dare look at him, embarrassed at what I was asking of him.

I was sure he wasn't going to, until strong muscular arms wrapped around my waist bringing me closer to his chest, which was still shirtless. (Wink wink)

I blushed so many shades of red, that I lost count. He held me closer as I wrapped my arms around him and nuzzled my head into his neck, with his warmth getting me nice and warm I began to feel sleepy but before I did fall asleep I whispered "We speak of this to no one." Then I fell asleep in his arms.

Itachi's Pov~

I looked down at the girl in my arms, her face peaceful. What is this feeling? She stirred, her face scrunching up. I moved a piece of hair from her face and gently caressed her cheek, she smiled and sighed. I smirked, did she really date Sasuke? Who was the ANBU she dated back in the leaf? Why did she say it was Illegal? I looked at her sleeping figure and thought "Such a child." And fell into darkness.

Kasumi's Pov~

I woke up to coolness against my skin as I rolled over on my stomach feeling the other side of the bed with my left hand, only to feel the sheets. I sat up so I was sitting on my knees and saw Itachi wasn't in bed. I looked around to see the bathroom door closed and steam coming from under the door. "He's more than likely taking a shower." I thought

I decided to get up, so I put my hair into a bun on the top of my head and walked to the kitchen shutting the door behind me. As I walked in everyone was seated at the table except Konan and Itachi, so that left the rest of the guys. I forgot I was just in a long well not even long GUY shirt; it only went to the middle of my thighs, which was for ANBU and just walked to the fridge. I had to bend over to get a drink which got Hidan to whistle. I got up straight and stuck the finger at him, he just answered "When and where." I said "Never in a million years."

Then I sat down next to Sasori with all the guys watching my every move. "What?" I said getting irritated

"Whose shirt is that un?" Deidara asked eyeing the shirt

"My ex-boyfriends." I said taking a sip of my drink

Hidan did a spite take and said "You dated an ANBU!?"

"Yup." I said popping the p

"Who?" asked Kakuzu now interested in the conversation

"I'm not saying." I said getting up and getting a plate of whatever they made

"Why? Is it someone we know un?" Deidara asked

"Everyone knows him." I said sitting back down next to Sasori

"Come on already bitch just tell us!" Hidan shouted

"IF I wanted you to know, don't you think I would've told you by now!" I shouted back

"Kasumi. Come with me." Leader-sama said sternly getting up and walking down the hallway most likely to his office

I had no choice but to follow "Yes leader-sama." I said walking behind him

As we were walking down the hallway Itachi came into view, when he saw me behind Leader he narrowed his eyes like asking "what did you do?" I shrugged and continued following leader until we came to his office door. He opened it and beckoned me to go first, so I did and sat down on one of the chairs across from him. He sat down in his seat and folded his hands together and closed his eyes. When he opened them he asked "Who is this ex-boyfriend of yours."

"No one of importance." I answered silently shaking in fear

"He must be of importance if you have one of his shirts." He said angrily

"No he isn't." I said trying not to let my voice crack

"Tell me who he is." He yelled slamming his hands on his desk

I didn't say anything I couldn't, my voice would give out showing I was weak, I didn't want to look weak in front of him.

"If you still care for him, he will be in the way of our work, your job." He said glaring at me

"So tell me who he is." He said getting up from his seat

I shook up head no trying to keep the tears in. Even if Kakashi and I didn't work, I didn't want him hurt because of me. Leader pulled my chair out and turned it around so I was facing him. He stared at me and asked "I'll only ask one more time." He said in a menacing tone "Who is he?" he asked. I only shook my head no meaning I wouldn't give him his name. That was all it took for him to slap me across the face, making me fall to the ground. He stood over me and said "I'll give you till tonight to tell me his name or else your punishment will be worse than just a slap." He walked back to his desk and sat down "your dismissed." He said looking at papers

I quickly stumbled to the door and left closing the door behind me. I breathed in and exhaled slowly trying to control my breathing. I walked back to the kitchen to see all the guys there, except for leader and Konan, talking and laughing. I kept my head down and walked back to the seat I was in earlier. I sat down and took a sip of my drink and listened as they talked about missions and bounties. I felt someone staring at me so I looked up only to be met with the same onyx eyes as last night. His is widened; he must have seen the cut that was now on my face. I heard a chair scratch back meaning he just got up and footsteps walking towards me. It got quite when he started walking towards me and kneeled on floor so he was at the side of my chair. I could feel everyone's stare wondering what he was gonna do. He picked up my chin with one of his hands while the other moved hair away from my face so you could see the swelling and blood. His face stayed emotionless as he did this but everyone else's were in shock, not just at my face but at the gesture Itachi did. His eyes narrowed when he saw the cut that was now bleeding and blood dripped down my cheek. He looked at Kakuzu and nodded his head; Kakuzu nodded his head back and stood up from his seat then began to walk out the kitchen. Itachi pulled me up by my arm and gave me a little shove signaling me to walk, so I did I followed Kakuzu until we came to a room that resembled a hospital room. He mentioned for me to sit on the bed, and I did. He pulled out a needle and thread, my eyes widened and I began to scot back away from him until Itachi went behind me so I couldn't move back anymore and held on to my waist with one hand while the other held on to my hand. I closed my eyes as Kakuzu turned my head to the left so he could sew it. I gripped Itachi's hand as the needle pierced my skin again and again. When Kakuzu was done he grunted and I opened my eyes as he put away the needle and thread. I was still gripping Itachi's hand without knowing until he grunted, I looked at our hands and blushed then gently let go. "How long is he giving you?" Itachi asked staring at me

"Until tonight." I said looking down

"Hn." He said then walked out leaving me here to think about what I was gonna do

Should I tell him his name? or Refuse to tell him again?
