11 - Gets sick
You insisted on traveling in the rain before the trail got cold from the guy you were tracking. You regretted it when you fell ill. You packed plenty enough herbs and things in a scroll. You knew that you might not ever go back to the village again and this upset you but you had to accept it. You were making a name for yourself with your kekkei genkai. The only reason you were ok with not seeing your family again. Your life has become dangerous quickly.
A coughing fit racked your body as you cuddled by the fire with a blanket around you. Luckily you found a cave that you could rest in for the night. And building the fire was easy with Itachi, since he was a fire chakra type. You flopped down on your side, completely exhausted.
"I can't believe he is going to get away. We were so close." You said with scratchy voice.
"We should have just stayed out of the ran like both Itachi and I suggested." Kisame said with a sigh.
"I didn't want to loose his chakra!" You said a little louder than usual causing another coughing fit to start again. "Ow" You whined holding your ribs. "I want tea." You claimed after the rain stopped.
"How do you expect to get that?" Kisame asked with an odd expression.
"You can go get the herbs I need. I'm out of that kind."
"I don't know anything about herbs."
"Its easy I just need the leaves, I saw some a little bit away. Shouldn't take you long." You grinned as you described the herb.
"I'm not-"
"PLEASE?" You interrupted him with a puppy dog pout.
Kisame glanced over at Itachi who was staring into the fire, the bottom portion of his face hidden by his cloak. Kisame sighed and got up. You described the plant again and told him where you saw it. You heard curses as he walked out of the cave. You yelled a sweet and innocent sounding thank you to Kisame and you heard more curses. You coughed again. You laid on your stomach close to the fire. You closed your eyes trying to relax, you then felt a hand on your back.
Itachi wasn't in his spot anymore. You looked up at him with a smile and said thank you softly. You sat up and leaned against Itachi. You two sat for that like a long time. The last thing you remembered was closing your eyes to rest them. You awoke to a hard ground and your head elevated. You opened your eyes to see Itachi. Your head was on his lap. You sat up rubbing your eyes deciding not to say anything about it.
"Ya know, (f/n)." Kisame said getting your attention. "If you wanted alone time with Itachi all you had to do was ask. I can take a hint."
You felt heat rush to your face. 'So much for not talking about it' you thought as you laughed nervously. "It's not like that" You said waving your hand just to bring it to your face as you started coughing. When you got your coughing under control you looked at Kisame and asked him if he got the herb. He showed you what he came back with and you got a pan from your scroll. You made Kisame put water in it and placed it in the hot coals to warm the water. You placed the herb into the water and you three enjoyed tea. You were better in a couple of days.
