She walked silently beside the Uchiha, and hoped the mission would go quickly. The Uchiha seemed to be tense as he walked in front of her. Obviously he was uncomfortable, because of her seeing him in his condition.
"I won't say anything" She said softly, but knew he heard her as they reached the opening of the cave. She saw an expanse of forest in front of her and rain was pouring down from the dark gray clouds over head. She did as Itachi had and put the straw hat on. They walked slowly back toward the sound village.
That night Itachi hadn't said a word to you the entire time and she had her Ipod in playing Snap by Slipknot. she mouthed the words to herself as they walked. Suddenly the Uchiha stopped and looked back at her. She stopped the music immediately.
"We're staying here," He said as he motioned for the hotel to the right them. She nodded slightly and walked behind him to the counter. He got them one room and she sighed inwardly when they walked in to see only one bed.
"I'm getting a shower," She said with finality and took off her cloak, tossing it on the chair with the straw hat. Itachi took his cloak off and tossed it in the corner with his hat and shoes. He was wearing baggy black pants and a black long sleeve T-shirt with fishnets underneath. She took her shoes off and placed them together by the chair and headed for the shower.
The hot water felt good on her body instead of the freezing rain that had soaked through the cloak. She sighed as she washed up and stood under the steaming water. Rose finally got out and did her jutsu to get her things from the sky. She pulled on a pair of black sweat pants and a black tank top. She gathered up her dirty clothes and shoved them in the bag. She walked out and her white hair was clinging to her face as she brushed your teeth. She put all of her things in the bag and left it by the counter and walked over to the bed. She saw Itachi was only laying there in his pants. Showing his toned six-pack and the scars of old battles on his chest. She layed down and pulled the covers over her and was soon drifting in the sea of darkness.
Something was warm on her back as she woke up. Her eyes opened slowly to allow her to get used to the light and she looked to see Itachi's chest was pressed against her back and one of his arms was around her waist, holding her close to him. She couldn't help letting herself smile. The Great Itachi was showing some emotion as he held her. His face was serene as she turned in his arms to look at him. He was smiling in his sleep and his face no longer looked hard and cold, but instead looked caring. His eyes fluttered open moments later and his face remained unmasked. His hair was covering his eyes and she slowly moved her hand to move the hair when his hand caught her wrist. He didn't hold her wrist tightly, but instead he moved her hand to his chest. His heartbeat was slow, too slow, he was definitely sick. She could feel it in his body, he was becoming weak.
"Your sick," Rose stated softly as she looked into his eyes. He for once looked vulnerable as he nodded. She leaned toward him slowly and pushed her lips to his. His lips welcomed hers immediately and they were immediately locked into each other and his arms locked around her waist and her hands were in his hair. He pulled away gasping for air as she trailed kisses from his mouth and down his neck. She had never had such a connection with anyone. She layed her head on his shoulder and his arms were wrapped around her waist tightly.
Suddenly she was ripped from this fake reality by the loud banging on the door. Her eyes opened to see Itachi facing away from he on the other side of the bed. She hit him lightly in the back, seeing as he didn't awake to the loud noise. His head lifted up and his sharingan graced his eyes as he slowly went to the door. He motioned for her to get up and he threw her cloak at her. She threw it over her shoulders and grabbed her katana from beside the bed. She jumped over the bed quickly and went to her bag and put her things away with the jutsu. She turned back to Itachi as he opened the door. Anbu rushed in to the hotel room and Itachi released fire jutsu. She fought with two Anbu and killed them both with a quick draw for her sword. Itachi quickly grabbed his cloak from the corner and came to her. He grabbed her waist and made them disappear and reappear in a clearing obviously a few miles away.
"Get dressed" He commanded and she retrieved her things and quickly dressed herself and threw a large shirt at Itachi. He put it on and threw her shoes at her and she realized his were already on. He had both straw hats in his hand as she finished putting her bandages on. she brushed her hair quickly and tossed everything back in the bag and made it disappear. She quickly put her shoes and cloak on as she took the hat from him. Rose tied the katana to her belt and stood. She sighed and put the stupid hat on her head and looked at Itachi. He just turned and began walking again.
Time passed as she and the Uchiha walked silently down the dirt road and her stomach began to growl. She quickly took a drink of water hoping that may calm her stomach. Itachi stopped abruptly in front of her and she stopped beside him. He held something out to her and he had one in his other hand. She took it from him and realized it was a lunch.
"Arigato" She said politely. He just nodded his head slightly in recognition. She opened hers and began to eat. It filled her when she was only half done, but she kept eating so that she wouldn't be hungry later. They sat there silently as her mind went back to her dream. But it was a dream and of course she didn't like the Uchiha, right? Even more disappointing was she couldn't tell herself she didn't. At least not aloud.
The truth seemed that she did enjoy being around Itachi...
