Chapter 14

I woke to the sound of crying, i was slightly confused as to why i could hear someone, or something crying. I frowned, eyes still closed. Then i bolted up right in bed, my eyes flying open and i scanned the room. I immediately stopped dead when my eyes landed on the crib, Itachi was stood next to the babies bed looking at the small crying child inside. He was frowning as he looked at her, he seemed to be so intent on looking at her that he had yet to notice i was awake. Slowly i watched him lean down and carefully pick the child up. I watched as he brought her close to him, his sharingan flicked on and he scanned over Suki. She in response just gurgled and stopped crying, i wondered what on earth he was doing and hoped to Kami he had not used the sharingan on her. Slipping from the bed i walked over to them both quietly, when i was within arms reach of them he asked

"Why is she here?"

"Konan and i found her in the village, she would have died if we didn't bring her back"

"It wasn't a good idea Masami" he said as he looked up at me.

"Could you have left her there?" i asked as i moved next to him to look at the baby girl in his arms.

He didn't answer which was answer enough for me. i watched as he took the babies hand in his, his eyes softened slightly when she gurgled and looked up in to his eyes. I smirked and said

"She is most likely hungry"

He nodded and turned to hand her to me. I shook my head and stepped back

"Keep hold of her while i sort her milk out, if i can remember how to do it" i muttered the last part

"You used to help with Sasuke's" he said

"And that was how many years ago now? i think that bit of information is currently buried under numerous calculations and attack precarious by now" I turned and walked to the other side of the room

I looked at all of the bags and vaguely wondered where to begin looking for both the milk and the bottles. I sighed and threw myself on the floor, i began to rummage through many bags until finally i came across both items, taking them out of the bag i quickly sorted the bottle out and heated it thanks to a slight modification to the katon. I got back to my feet and walked over to the bed, Itachi must have decided to relocate when i had began searching for the elusive bottle. I sat on the bed next to him and he held his arms out, i took the baby and made sure i was holding her right before i gave her the bottle. The room was silent for a while until Itachi asked

"What is her name?"

"Suki" i said as my eyes flicked back to his.

He nodded and watched as she fed on her bottle. Minutes later she was finished and her little eyes where closing. I smiled and stood up, walking across the room I placed her back in her crib and turned back to Itachi. He was in the middle of taking his cloak off, once it was off he put it over the back of the chair and turned back to me. He walked over to me slowly and placed one hand against my cheek, I leaned in to his touch and he spoke

"You will be a great mother"

I smiled and said

"I suppose, anyway how do you think he is going to react?"

"I will speak with him, perhaps I can keep him from trying anything for a while longer"

"Maybe", I turned back to the baby and looked over her again.

She was so small and so defenseless I was angry at the person who had left her alone to die. I felt Itachi's hand touch my shoulder, turning slightly I looked at him. He asked

"Do you want something to eat?"

"Hai"

"Anything in particular?"

"No, just anything, I am not bothered"

He nodded and walked to the door. Once he stepped out I turned back to the baby and said

"Well it looks like you have a mother and a father now little one, and it's debateable which of us will be more protective"

I turned away from the crib again and decided I wanted a shower. Turning to the bathroom I wondered how Itachi would react to Suki with me not in the immediate area. I smirked already knowing the answer.

Stepping in to the bathroom I switched the water on in the shower and stripped off my clothes. When the water had reached the right temperature I stepped in to the stall and sighed as the hot water hit my back. I just stood under the jet of water for a while unmoving and unwilling to move. After about 5 minutes of just standing under the spray I decided it was time to clean up and get back out. Sighing I grabbed the shampoo and washed my hair, after rinsing the bubbles out and washing myself down I stepped out of the shower, grabbing a towel I looked to where I normally put my clean clothes only to find I had forgotten to pick some up. Sighing I looked to the door and frowned at the chakra signature in the next room. Well I now knew Itachi was back and I also knew that to get to my clothes I had to go in to that same room as him in nothing but a towel. I grumbled and slowly walked to the door, I put my hand on the handle and froze. Did I really want to out in to that room in nothing but a towel? The answer would be no. But did I have a choice? Again the answer was no. I frowned at my bad luck, I hated this, I hated being afraid to do something that a few years ago I would have done with out hesitation in front of Itachi. On that though I remembered a time when I had done this exact same thing, I smirked at the memory.

"Memory"

I was walking along by the Nakano river, it was a hot day and I was tempted just to throw myself in the river to cool off a bit. But I stopped myself from doing so, not only would that be stupid but it would also give the annoying Uchiha sat on the bank opposite me reason to annoy my further. I channeled chakra to my feet and slowly made my way over the river to the currently meditating Itachi. As I drew closer I saw his hand move and seconds later a kunai flew at me and I dodged it, growling I hissed at Itachi

"There was no need for that"

"You had your chakra cloaked I was not aware it was you" he replied as he slipped his eyes open.

Ok so that was my fault but still that was just plain nasty. I sighed and sat next to him on the bank. I looked out across the water and sighed.

"What is wrong? You seem restless" he asked

"It's to hot, I don't like it"

"It will pass in a day or so" he replied as he shifted slightly

I smirked and asked

"How can you sit out here in long sleeves and full length pants and not be dieing of heat stroke?"

"The heat is not an issue"

"Sure, anyway have you seen Shisui?"

"Not since this morning"

"Well damn" I muttered

"What has he done this time?"

"Nothing I just felt like hitting him" I muttered

"Indeed" we stopped talking for a while.

It must have been close to an hour later when I heard the voice of Shisui.

"Hey you two!"

Itachi and I both turned to watch Shisui run across the river and up to us. Stopping dead in front of us he grinned and said

"Lets go!"

"Where?" I asked squinting to get a better look at the fool.

"To the dock, I thought we could all go for a swim"

"No" said Itachi and I actually agreed with him.

"Sorry Shi-kun not today" I said with a smile

He frowned then flopped on to the ground next to us. When he was lying on his back he said

"You two are no fun"

"If you had come by an hour ago I would have agreed" I said

"Well damn"

Itachi smirked and said

"We should head home"

I sighed but moved to stand up. Itachi, who had already gotten to his feet, held a hand out to me. I smiled up at him and took his hand. He pulled me to my feet and soon all three of us where walking back to the Uchiha estate. Once we where back within the Uchiha walls we all went our separate ways. I headed straight back to my house. Upon entering I shouted a quick hello then made my way to the bathroom for a cold shower. I really needed to cool down. Once I had finished having my refreshingly cold shower I made my way back to my bedroom wrapped in a towel. I opened my door but didn't look around the room before I stepped inside. I stopped dead when I heard someone clear there throat. Looking up I felt my self relax at the sight of Itachi. Then I smirked, his eyes where looking at anything in the room that wasn't me. I giggled then said

"Well don't come in to my room with out warning and you will not be subjected to things such as this"

"I spoke with your mother"

"Ah, but I didn't know" I countered as I made my way to my wardrobe.

I felt Itachi's eyes on my back as I moved and I said

"Stop staring it's rude"

He looked away. I smirked and grabbed clean clothes then I said

"Get gone while I get dressed"

He quickly strode to the door, when he had it open he stopped and said stiffly

"I will wait in the gardens for you" then he left

Only when I was sure he was gone did I let the laughter bubble up my throat. Some days Itachi truly was funny.

"Normal"

I giggled a little at the memory. That was a funny day, Itachi couldn't look me in the eyes for about a week after that incident. Sighing I looked back to the door and decided I needed to go in there. I turned the handle and pulled the door open, immediately I looked to the crib to see Suki still fast asleep then my eyes moved to find Itachi. He was sat on the bed, his back against the head board and a book was in his hand. He didn't move, nor did he look up when the door opened instead his eyes stayed on the book. I shook my head and moved over to the bags that where still laying on the floor. Rummaging through them I looked for something to wear. A few seconds later I heard Itachi say

"There is food on the…" his voice cut off.

I frowned and turned to look at him, only to find him staring at me. I scowled and snapped

"What?"

His eyes stayed on me as he stood up and began to move towards me. I stood to and frowned. What was he playing at now? He stopped in front of me and looked me up and down, I hissed

"Yes I am in a towel what of it?"

"It was…unexpected" he replied quietly and had his voice gone husky?

"I forgot to take clothes in the bathroom with me" I said as I backed away from him.

"Hn"

I frowned as he moved forward again and then before I knew what had happened his hand was behind my head and his lips where on mine. I froze not knowing what to do. The first thought was actually to kick him but I decided against that, my next thought was to kiss him back. But I wasn't sure I wanted to do that either. In the end he didn't give me a choice. He pulled me closer to him, his other arm wrapping around my back, I slipped on hand up his arm and in to his hair and decided to just go with the flow. Besides it wasn't all that bad. I felt his hand on my back move slightly and I froze as it slipped to the hem on the towel. I pushed him back from my slightly and gave him a look. He sighed and said

"Trust me"

I thought about that. Should I trust him or should I keep pushing him away? I wasn't sure anymore. What confused me more about the situation was I wasn't sure if I was pushing him away because I hated him or because I didn't hate him. Sometimes I confused myself. I looked up in to his eyes and found the answer there, I didn't hate him. But I didn't love him either, not yet, it was more a deep appreciation for him and a deep caring. But even with that knowledge did I trust him? The answer…yes I did and he knew it. My eyes flicked over to Suki and he said

"She is fine"

I turned back to him and smiled softly, then I stretched up and kissed him softly. He responded immediately, I felt his hand move again and this time I made no move to stop him. Even though I knew this was what Madara wanted. I knew we where playing in to his hands but at this moment in time I couldn't care. I only cared about one Uchiha male at this moment in time, and he was the one who had just dropped my towel to the floor.
