A/N: Thank you for all the reviews!! This one is longer than the last so I hope you enjoy!!!
Disclaimer: I do not own Naruto just Kaya.
I walked through the town, with Itachi and Kisame following closely. It kind of reminded me of the first time I met them, when I led them to Naruto.....I shook my head. I didn't want to remember what happened that day.
As we walked, I noticed that people were setting stuff up. Banners were getting hung, shops were being set up along the streets, streamers and lanterns were being hung by poles. 'What's going on?'
"We'll rest here for the night. Then find the man tomorrow and go home." Itachi's voice said bringing me out of my thoughts. I hadn't realized they had stopped until I felt Itachi's hand wrap around my wrist.
I looked over at him and smiled apologetically before being drug into the hotel. The three of us walked up to the lady at the counter and Itachi moved so I was in the front. I sighed. 'Why do I get stuck doing this?'
"Hi! Can I help you?" the lady asked smiling, eyeing the two guys behind me.
"Um, yeah. I need 3 rooms please." I said.
"Oh. I'm afraid we only have 2 left. Both of them each have one double bed."
I looked back at the two behind me and then back to the lady. "That's fine. Two of us will have to share."
She nodded. "That will be 500 yen (A/N: I don't know how much that is. So just pretend its not that much I guess. lol)" I handed her the money as she handed me the keys. "Enjoy your stay! And don't forget to attend the festival!"
"Festival?" I asked, remembering the decorations outside.
"Yes. The Sakura festival. Its being held tonight. You're allowed to bring a date with you." she looked at Itachi and smiled. "Unfortunately I don't have one yet."
I snatched the keys from her and grabbed Itachi's hand. "We'll be sure to stop by." I glared and the lady's eyes widened slightly. I turned and stormed up the steps, dragging a smirking Itachi with me.
We got to the 3rd floor, where our rooms were and I was about to hand Itachi a key when Kisame snatched it from me, walking over to the other door. "Hey!" I glared.
Kisame opened the door and smirked at me. "Oh. Sorry. Looks like you two have to share. Later." he waved once and walked in the room, and I distinctly heard a lock click.
I stared at Kisame's door frozen. Did he seriously expect me and Itachi to share a room?? And a....bed?! I mean sure we're together but.....
The sound of a door opening startled me. "Are you coming or not?"
I looked over and saw Itachi holding the door open. I stared at him, took a deep breath, and walked past him into the room. It wasn't as bad as I thought. It was a decent size, with a door that I figured led to the bathroom. The only problem.......the big double bed in the center of the room. I swallowed loudly. This would be a big step for us. How was I going to make it through the night?!
"So....." I looked over at Itachi. He was watching me, but when I looked over he looked away, which shocked me. Was he....nervous? "Did you want to go to that festival tonight?"
Was he asking me as a date? Or just asking me if I had planned on going? I figured I better play it safe. "I think it would be fun."
"Then do you....want to go.....with me?" He was looking away from me, and had the most adorable expression on his face. It kind of reminded youme of when Sasuke was asking Naruto about the tree climbing exercise. I giggled at how much he looked like his brother right now. Unfortunately this caused him to glare at me.
"I'm sorry." I said quickly still smiling. "Are you sure though? You don't wanna ask that lady downstairs? She seemed more than willing to go with you if you asked her."
He shrugged and turned walking to the door. "Fine. I'll go ask her then."
"No wait!" I jumped in front of the door with my hands spread out-not that that would actually do any good but.....
He smirked. "What?"
"I didn't mean to actually go ask her!" I scowled at him. How could he even think of doing that?!
He continued to smirk as he put his hands on the door on either side of my head and leaned in close. I blushed as his face was inches from mine. "Then answer my question."
I gulped. "Y-Yes. I-I'll go with y-you...." I was shocked at how much he could still make me nervous. I figured I would be past this by now.
"Good." he leaned in the rest of the way, capturing my lips with his.
Later that night, I was walking through the lantern-lit streets with Itachi, his hand intertwined with mine. I couldn't help but look around in awe. I had never been to a Japanese festival before and this was amazing! The people around were all dressed in traditional kimonos and other such costumes. The vendors on the streets were filled with food and games. Itachi had won me a teddy bear at the shuriken throwing game. I smiled as I remembered the mans face when Itachi hit the bulls eye on all 6 targets-throwing all the kunai at once.
Me and Itachi walked around for a while, getting something to eat, playing some more games, and just looking around. I couldn't help smiling the whole time, and I was surprised at how much Itachi was actually smiling. Not smirking, smiling. He had only done that a few times before. It was rare, so I was happy to see he was enjoying himself.
Finally it was time for the last part of the festival. The fireworks. Itachi took me up to a roof, so we could see them better. I sat close to him, holding the teddy bear close to my chest.
"Did you have fun tonight?" Itachi asked. I looked over at him smiling.
"Yeah. It was great! Thank you for bringing me here Itachi."
He nodded and looked ahead again. "They'll be starting soon."
I didn't care though. All I cared about was that I was here. With Itachi. And he actually wanted to be here with me too. I still couldn't get over how amazing this was. I knew a million girls who would kill to be in my place! Some of them my friends. I smiled thinking of my best friend. Ami. She liked Itachi too, but not as much as me. No. Her favorite Naruto character was a certain blonde I knew quite well by now. She was completely in love with Deidara. 'She would SO kill me if she knew what happened to me recently....'
A bang and flash of bright light brought me back to reality-well, as close to reality as I was getting right now. The fireworks had started. And I couldn't help but become immersed in them. They were so much more beautiful than the ones in my world! The bright flashes of red, green, blue, yellow, and all the different colors lit up the sky.
I sighed happily and unconsciously leaned my head to rest against Itachi's shoulder. He looked down at me and smiled, then wrapped his arm around me holding me close.
"I love you Kaya." he whispered in my ear. I smiled as my heart leapt. He had only told me that once, when he first told me of his feelings. I enjoyed hearing those words coming from him.
"I love you too Itachi." I smiled. I stared up at the fireworks, before turning toward him. Suddenly the fireworks didn't matter anymore. Itachi was staring down at me with those deep onyx eyes of his. And they weren't expressionless-which I've noticed they had only become like that whenever he looks at me. I was living every Itachi fan-girls dream. And frankly, I didn't want to go back to my world. I wanted to stay here. With Itachi. Forever.
A/N: So how was it?? Hope Itachi wasn't too much OOC. I tried my best. lol. Anywho review please!!
