Drabble Eleven: Contradicting

Past

"Itachi…where are you, my darling?"

Her mind often repeated this; turning and repeating itself again, and again…and again. It was torture to think this continuously, over and over. Each time that simple, that little longing question her heart ached and tears threatened to slid down her pale cheeks. It was more than bittersweet and felt more painful than those silly romantic novels had described, yet she couldn't stop. An addiction so harmful yet so hopeful…that tiny, fluttering light continued to flicker despite the darkness that wished so desperately to consume it. A contradiction of sweet and sour within her fragile heart.

It wasn't the only thing her mind enjoyed torturing her with.

He pulled her against him, his strange embrace felt warm and safe. Her body relaxed within his strong hold and she was gasping as he cradled her head, bringing her much closer. Their noses brushed and even with his mask, she could smell his peppermint fresh breathe. She breathed his name so…so…

She'd been disappointed!

How could she? How could she feel disappointed that another man, not her Itachi, hadn't kissed her? She'd almost kissed her guard, the devoted Hatake Kakashi while her hand belonged to another. She was promised to the dangerous, passionate Uchiha Itachi not the laid-back, protective, dashing-No! She'd promised herself to Itachi! Uchiha Itachi! Itachi. Itachi…where was he?

Her love had said he'd visit her soon and she dearly wished he would. She wanted to know if he was managing without his clan, she'd accidently heard her father's conversation with Kakashi and if he was eating well? Would he still be healthy when she laid eyes on him again? Did he still think of her as she did him? Had the man found someone else? Where did he sleep?

Sighing, she hugged herself and moved toward her window. Immediately her eyes landed on her bodyguard and he caught her eyes, he waved lazily. She waved back…

…and smiled.
