Chapter Fourteen
Kagome froze when she heard a very familiar voice called her. She turned and her eyes widened. There stood – not far away from those girls – Itachi-san, Shisui-san and a man she recognised. She tried to say something but her mind busied itself with questions. 'How long have they been there? Did they witness everything? What to do now?' With a weakly smiled, Kagome greeted back.
"H-how d-do you do?" She asked with shaky voice and gulped when the three men walked towards her. The man she didn't know of said something to the girl causing them to flee from the area. She sighed in relief. If the girl were to attack then she would fight back and it wouldn't end very nice for the girls.
When Shisui-san approached her, he smiled. Kagome looked at and sought for any traits that might tell her that they were watching her. As she couldn't; Kagome relaxed a bit.
"I am doing great." Shisui replied still smiling. Kagome nodded and shot Itachi-san a quick glance. She lowered her eyes as she remembered their last encounter. She felt her cheeks began to burn.
"May I introduce?" Kagome looked up and followed Shisui-san's hand. "This is my uncle, the Head of our Clan. And uncle this Kagome Higurashi." As Kagome eyed the man, her hand trembled. This was the man she met that day. Kagome swallowed and hoped no one heard her. She bowed.
"So we met again, hm?" The man said, completely ignoring her polite bow and Kagome looked for an escape. 'What should I do? He recognised me!'
"I-it seems." She stammered her answer.
"You two already met?" Shisui-san asked startled and a quick glance at Itachi-san's direction, she could see that he too, was a little surprised. Even through his indifferent mask still presented, his eyes said everything.
"It was a brief meeting." She was uncomfortable with where the conversation was leading. She looked back at Shisui and silently asked him for help and she was grateful when he seemed to know what she wanted from him.
"How about we go somewhere to sit down and talk?" He suggested. Rubbing his stomach he added, "I haven't had lunch yet." He grinned and winked at her and Kagome mouthed a 'thank you'.
"No need, I have a meeting to attend," said Shisui-san's uncle, a small nod at them, then he turned and left. Seeing this was the chance for her, she quickly said.
"I am sorry," Kagome began to feel guilty when she saw the disappointed look on Shisui-san's face. "I have lost something important and have to find it."
"What is it? Maybe Itachi and I can help?" She noticed his sudden brighten mood. She hated to crash his hope.
"Thank you for your offer but I must decline. I don't want to burden you with something trivial as of this." Kagome told them. She bid them goodbye and left before any of them could say a word.

'And there she goes.' He thought looked forward to spend the day her – even if his cousin was present. His stomach growled and he was glad that Kagome-chan didn't have to hear it. Sighing in disappointment, he turned at his cousin.
"Have lunch with me? I will pay too." He asked giving his cousin the best puppy face he could do in hoped his cousin would agree to accompany him. His cousin grimaced a bit, pinched the bridge of his nose and gave him a glare.
"No." His voice was firm and left no room for objections. His cousin disappeared. Shisui sighed deeply. With his shoulder slumped Shisui walked to Ichiraku Ramen Bar.

Itachi left his cousin and appeared in his room. Looking for the object he found last night he saw it lay on the night table. He grabbed and stared at it. This was the object the girl was looking for. His grip on the flute tightened when his mind played his encounter with her last night. Coming out of his memory, Itachi realised what he was going to and left his room.
Closing the door to his room, he walked down the stairs. He stopped when he heard his mother called him.
"Where do you plan to go?" She asked, hands on her hips as she tapped her foot displeased against the ground.
"Somewhere." He answered and a slight frown on his face when his mother raised an eyebrow at him.
"You aren't going 'somewhere', young man. First have lunch then you can do whatever you want." His mother used the voice that he just used upon Shisui. Itachi sighed. 'There's no arguing with mother when she's like this.' He would be fool to ignore his mother's order and then suffer her wrath. He silently sat down and took the plate his mother gave him and began to eat.
When he finished is lunch, with the flute in his hand he went to look for Kagome. He was thinking of going to her house but then he realised he didn't know where she lived. 'The river. This is where she would be if she is looking for her flute.' His mind set on the decision as he jumped on the roof of the houses and headed to the river.
The river came to his sight as well the sight of Kagome. Her eyes flickered around as she tried to find her possession. He landed on the ground and as if sensing him she eyes left the ground. Blood flooded her cheeks and a shrill shot through him when their eyes met.

In the darkness a man watched through a mirror a girl that resembled his love walking around a village as her eyes flickered here and there searching for something. The unmistakable the sky-blue eyes, the long raven hair and the sun-kissed skin that he missed seeing all the years when his love disappeared. Undoubtedly, the girl was his love's reincarnation.
"Show me where she lives." He commanded. The next sitting in front of him shift her mirror at little bit and showed him the Hokage Monument that belonged to the Village Hidden in the Leaves. He smirked inwardly. She lived in the village where he planned to attack. 'Fate must be on my side.'
"Kagura," he called the woman and she glared at him with her hateful red eyes. "Your aid is needed." He continued and ignored the narrow of her eyes.
"What can I do for you master?" She hissed angrily and spat the last word.
"You will cease speaking to me in such ton." He told her. "Disguise yourself, observe him and report me of his doing. And don't disappoint me, you know what will happen if you were." To demonstrate the power he had over her, he squeezed the hidden thing in his palm. The woman went to her knees immediately, curled her body and panted painfully. He loosened his hold and the woman slowly looked up with her death glare.
"Now go." The woman obeyed. The man chuckled darkly and cast his eyes back to the mirror to see the girl he desired. 'Soon, my lovely Midoriko, soon you will be mine.'
