This chapter is really short so sorry!!!! but i hope u like it! its kinda a filler chappie though!

Enjoy!

Weeks passed by and Itachi and Kasumi were still inseparable. After their little heart to heart, they could talk to eachother without worrying what the other would think. It was a relationship of total honesty and love.

The weeks had been pretty boring. The Akatsuki had nothing much to do and the couple spent their time in their room or in the living room.

Currently Kasumi and Deidara were sitting on the couch together whispering about their boyfriends.

Said boyfriends were sitting grumpily on the kitchen table since they were ordered not to join the conversation.

"So do you think Sasori will pop the question?" Kasumi asked.

They had been talking about whether or not the puppet would propose to the blonde, since they had taken their relationship pretty far.

"I don't know un! But I hope so. I love him so much un!" Deidara said excitedly.

"How bout you? Will Itachi ask?" Deidara questioned his blue eyes sparkling with interest.

"We've been together for almost three years. But I don't know." Kasumi whispered back.

"Do you want him to?" Deidara asked.

"I don't know." Kasumi whispered back.

"oh. But you have made Itachi so different. I actually saw him smile the other day un!" Deidara stated.

"You have changed too. Your eyes are different. They're more alive. Un" Deidara declared.

Kasumi looked down.

"Well are you two girls done gossiping about us?" Sasori said, smirking with Itachi by his side.

"Hey I'm not a girl un!" deidara protested.

"To me you are." The red head shot back.

"Who said we were talking about you ugly people?" Kasumi teased.

"Hn. I'm not ugly." Itachi stated in a stoic tone.

"Hmmm." Kasumi snorted before getting up from the couch.

Before leaving she turned to her boyfriend. Her eyes sparkeld with mischief.

"Maybe maybe not." She said slyly before bounding out the door.

Kasumi POV

I frowned, Itachi had been acting really weird these past few days. It was starting to get irritating.

He talked less than ususal and he was never around anymore. I was starting to get worried and a bit angry.

Said boyfriend came walking into the room as I was thinking about him.

"Ita-kun what have you been doing?" I asked.

"Hn." The raven snorted.

What are you hiding Itachi?

"I don't take that as an answer. I thought we were past that a long time ago." I

answered.

"nothing.' He replied curtly.

I was now starting to get really pissed.

"Itachi Uchiha tell me what is going on!" I demanded.

"Just go away Kasumi." Itachi turned around and hissed.

I reeled back and stared at him. His eyes were troubled again. He had never used that tone one me since we had gotten together. Pain flashed through my body and I felt tears prickle at my eyes.

"I'm sor-" Itachi started as he reached a hand out to hold me.

I jerked away and said harshly, "Don't Itachi."

I stalked out of the room, leaving a stoic Itachi behind me.

WHAM!

'That Little!"

POW!

"Stupid Uchiha!"

WHACK!

I took out my anger on an innocent tree. I repeatedly bombarded it with furious kicks and punches.

After I had vented out the last of my strength I collapsed against the tree. Black marks riddled the bark and it was on the verge of falling over.

What is bothering him? Why did he speak like that? I know he loves me. But why?

I pulled at my hair and let out a soft fustrated shriek.

I shivered as the wind gusted across my skin and I wrapped my arms around my knees.

Crunch.

I looked up to see Sasori looking down at me with worried eyes. He was always there for me when I needed help. Well when Itachi wasn't there that is.

He knelt down and wrapped a wooden arm around me.

"What's wrong Kasumi-chan?" he asked.

"Itachi." I said through gritted teeth.

I saw Sasori's eyes flash with anger and his hand ball up into a shaking fist. If he wasn't made out of wood his knuckles would be turning white.

"What did he do?" he whispered harshly.

"He spoke to me in THAT tone." I said helplessly.

Sasori growled underneath his breath and then he hauled me to my feet and started to lead me to his room.

When I walked in I collapsed onto his bed and he sat down beside me.

I once again curled up into a protective ball and I stared out into nothing. My eyes were brimming with tears.

"I don't know what I did Sasori-kun. I don't know what I did wrong." I whispered.

My eyes widened a bit at the sound of my voice. It was so broken and so lonely. I never heard myself sound like that before.

"You did nothing wrong. Itachi was just being a baka!" Sasori hissed.

"Maybe. I don't know. What if…" I started to muse and horrifying images ran through my mind.

I screwed my eyes shut and I felt my face contort with a worried expression.

"Don't say what if. If he won't tell you its his fault." Sasori said determinedly.

"Okay." I whispered in defeat.

Then I rested my head against Sasori's chest. Not in an intimate way but as a friend. I stared emptily at the door and I felt Sasori's fingers run through my hair.

I thought you said you would never hurt me. Itachi.

Normal POV

Kasumi had left Sasori's room a while ago after thanking him for his company. After that she had gone to the living room where she had watched tv with Tobi and Kisame.

"You look different." Kisame commented as he studied her with curious eyes.

"Hn. Really?" Kasumi deadpanned.

"Yea. What's wrong?" Kisame being the intelligent shark he was he had noticed her expression when she had walked in.

"Just some problems." She answered.

"Itachi?"

Kasumi looked down at the ground in a dejected sort of way.

"Yeah." She whispered.

Her tone meant no more questions. Kisame sent a worried look at her before turning back to the TV.

"Kisame, have you ever loved someone?" Kasumi asked quietly.

The shark was startled by the question and looked at her with wide eyes.

"Um…I guess. A long time ago."

"What happened?"

Kisame winced. He never talked aobut it much but to see Kasumi in pain caused him pain too. Afterall she was like his little sister.

"She died. In a battle. I watched it happen." Kisame replied curtly before turning to look out the window.

Kasumi dropped her head.

"I'm sorry." She whispered.

"That's okay. But I still love her. I know she's waiting for me."

"Yes I guess so."

"You know Itachi loves you more than anything right?"

Kasumi whipped her head up to look at the shark questioningly.

"Yes. Of course."

"Well don't doubt him. I've known itachi-san for a bit and I know by just looking at him that he cares." He replied wisely.

"Thanks Kisame-kun." Her eyes lit up a bit.

"But you know if he ever hurts you, which I doubt, we'll be there for you. I'll whoop his ass!" Kisame said proudly.

Kasumi smiled slightly at the image of Kisame trying to beat Itachi.

The Akatsuki has become my family now. Kisame is my older brother, and Sasori is like a father. Deidara is just like a mother, fussing over clothes and hair.

Kasumi chuckled lightly at the thought.

Tobi is like a little brother, Hidan and Kakazu are like my big bros. Even if they're totally sadistic. Zetsu is like and uncle and so is Pein.

Itachi is like…

Kasumi shut her eyes and stopped the thought. Thinking about Itachi was difficult right now. It had been their first fight since getting together. They've been together for a few years and they have never fought before.

That night Kasumi was getting ready to go back to Itachi's room, bracing herself. That was when she saw Tobi come flying down the corridor.

"KASUMI CHAN! A LITTLE BIRDIE TOLD ME TO TELL YOU TO GET DRESSED IN NICE CLOTHING! TOBI IS A GOOD BOY AND WILL HELP YOU!" the masked boy shrieked.

Kasumi raised a silver eyebrow.

Get dressed? Nice clothing? Hmm…what's going on?

Tobi dragged her down the hallway and into his own room where a white box sat on his bed.

"Open it!" he said excitedly jumping up and down.

Carefully prying open the box Kasumi gasped quietly at the beautiful dress in her hand. In it was a beautiful silver white dress. It had delicate thin straps and it flowed down to the floor. Also in the box was her hitai-ate. The konoha leaf emblem shining brightly under the light.

"Try it on!" Tobi screamed and pushed her into the bathroom.

Kasumi POV

I pulled the dress on and tied the hitai-ate to my forhead. It had been a long time since I had last worn it.

I wonder what this is for? Did itachi do this?

I turned slowly and looked in the mirror I gasped.

In the mirror I saw the reflection of a beautiful silver haired woman. The dress clung to her small slim frame and it fell elegantly to the floor. The white accented her silver hair and the thin straps clung nicely to her thin shoulders.

That's me?

I walked out slowly to where Tobi was waiting.

"KASUMI CHAN IS SO PRETTY!" Tobi shrieked and came to coo over the dress.

"Thank you Tobi-kun." I replied in a daze.

In no time the masked boy had me down the hallway and into the training grounds then he disappeared.

I frowned. I turned around in a circle but I didn't feel his chakra.

"Tobi?" but my question fell on deaf ears.

Small lights illuminated a pathway. I decided to follow it. I quietly walked down the tiny lit walkway until I felt a familiar chakra.

There, underneath the blooming Sakura tree that we had fought under three years ago was Itachi.

So did u like it? I think its kinda cute...but w/ itachi acting like a total douche its kinda sad!

PLEASE REVIEW! its what keeps me going!
