Chapter 25

Itachi's visit

Karena continued looking at the door where Neji had left, confused, but happy. Karena smiled and walked over to her bed, and sighed as she laid down onto the soft mattress. She sighed and looked up. She saw the wonderful chandelier hanging above her, with all of the painting designs around it filling the ceiling, admiring the designs.

"*Sigh* I'm sorry Neji, I already love someone else." Karena whispered as she fell to sleep.

"So Mae, let's see what you got." someone said as they raised their sword.

"Alright, but I'm not holding back!" Little Mae yelled as she charged at the man with raven hair. In her hand held a ball of energy that was the color red.

"Here I come!" Mae yelled as she came towards the man. The man stopped her and clapped his hands.

"That is very impressive at your age, but now I am going to show you how to summon." The man said as he bit his thumb and ran it down his arm,

"Summoning jutsu!" he yelled as a giant snake came out of the ground. Mae backed away, in awe.

"Wow! That is so cool how you can do that! Teach me! Teach me!" Mae yelled as she came up to the man that had lowered his snake to reach ground.

"Alright, first rule is..."

"I think that I have got it!" Mae yelled to the man.

"Well then show me." he said.

Mae bit her thumb and ran it down her arm. "Summoning jutsu!" she yelled as a giant snake appeared, it was a bit smaller than the man's though.

"Very good!" he yelled out as the snake went away.

"So how was it?" Mae asked as she turned towards the man.

"Very good," He said as he petted Mae's head. Mae turned towards two girls that were lying down.

"Did you see that, little sisters? I summoned a snake! On my tenth time! Woo," Mae yelled as she looked at her two sisters, Aiko and Karena. Mae ran back to the man and hugged him, even though she was still quite small to him.

The man pet her head, "Alright, we are onto the next thing, controlling your summoning creature." The man said as he walked away.

"Yes sensei! I'll do my best!"

Karena woke up on her bed feeling a little woozy. She was spread all across the mattress. Karena started to sit up, but something pushed her back down. She looked up and saw Mae there with her hand on her chest.

"You need to rest; you've been having really bad dreams lately, so you need to rest." Mae said as she pushed Karena all the way back down. Karena sighed as she straightened her body without disturbing the sheets. Aiko came over and put a blanket over Karena body.

"So what did you dream about this time?" Aiko asked as she sat down beside Mae.

Karena looked at them, almost afraid of telling them, "I dreamt about you, Mae." Karena said as she closed her eyes. Mae looked at her surprised, and then quickly left the room.

"Hey where are you going?" Aiko asked.

Mae quickly said, "Out."

Aiko decided to leave her be and watch Karena. "So what happened in your dream?" she said a little shaky in her voice.

Karena just rolled over, ignoring Aiko. Aiko sighed then walked out of her room. Before she closed the door she said, "Someone wants to see you..."

Karena turned back onto her side looking at Aiko, "Who?"

Aiko just walked away, smiling to herself.

Karena was about to get up, but someone came in, it was Sasuke.

"Oh, it's you Sasuke." Karena said relieved.

Sasuke smiled as he came over to Karena's side. She sat up and he sat down next to her on her bed. He smiled as he kept looking at her.

"You're so beautiful, I could not be more thankful for you picking me," Sasuke said as he pulled Karena into a hug.

Karena hugged him back. "I'm glad for you to have been born; now I have a reason to live." she said back to him.

She felt his smile on her shoulder, she smiled back. They broke the long hug after a few minutes had passed. Karena wiped a tear that fell from her eye. Sasuke looked at her, "Is something wrong?" He asked.

She looked at him and smiled. "These are not tears of sadness, but tears of joy. Sasuke I love you with all my heart, and I am very happy to have met you. You do so many things for me that I haven't repaid. Is there anything that I can do for you?" Karena asked.

Sasuke looked at her while she said this, "Yes you can."

Sasuke said as he leaned forward to her. Karena closed her eyes as their lips touched.

She smiled as they broke the kiss. Sasuke put his two first fingers on his lips, wanting to saver her taste. Sasuke caressed her cheek with his other hand. She held his hand on her skin, smiling. Sasuke smiled as he saw her smiling at him. Karena pulled him into a hug, wanting to stay like that.

Sasuke hugged her back and said, "I love you so much."

She smiled, and replied, "I love you much more than you love me..." She put her head on his shoulder.

He kissed her head and said, "Then your love for me, must never end, no matter what the case, because if you love me, then you might not be able to stop loving me. I love you much more than never ending."

She smiled as a tear fell from her eye.

"I love you so much," Karena said as she kissed his neck, making him shiver.

She giggled to herself, "You're so cute."

He laughed, which made her laugh with him.

"Sasuke, it's time to go!" Aiko said as she knocked on the door, making them break up. Karena and Sasuke sighed as he got up and went away. She laid back down, touching her lips with her fingers, remembering every second of their last kiss. Then she closed her eyes, smiling.

It was about 1 in the morning when she heard a noise coming from the end of her room. She quickly sat up, preparing to attack. She looked at the smoke that surrounded the person. She picked up her kunai and stood up. When the smoke went away, she saw a man there with a black coat with a red cloud design.

'Itachi...' Karena thought as she stared at him.

"What do you want?" Karena asked quietly. Itachi just stared at her; in return, Karena stared back.

"I said what do you want?" Karena repeated sounding a little angry. Itachi took a step forward, Karena took a step back. Itachi kept walking towards her, Karena could go nowhere else. All she could do was run in another direction, or be pinned against a wall.

'Hm...what should I do?' Karena thought.

'He may try to tell me something, so I better stay here.' Karena thought to herself as Itachi came closer to her. Karena held up her kunai protecting herself if he attacked her. Itachi slightly opened his jacket, allowing one of his hands to come out. He gently put his cold fingers on her warm hand as he lowered her kunai. Karena stared at him every second, not wanting to take her eyes off of him.

Once Karena's hands were at her side, Itachi whispered, "Karena."

Karena just stared at him, "What?" She replied, asking him to go on.

"Karena, it looks like my little brother has a new rival not just Neji," Itachi said to her.

Karena was confused, "What do you mean?" Karena asked him, taking a step back. Itachi used his speed and pushed her against the wall. He took her wrist in his hands and gripped them tightly.

Karena started, "Itachi, what are you do-" But she looked down and saw that there were black ropes tying around her body. First were the legs, she tried to break free, but there was no use. Then came her waist, then the ropes tied around her neck, tight enough to keep her there, but not choking her. Itachi let go of her arms as the tied around them as well. Karena was forced to stare into his eyes. Itachi smirked as he saw her pinned against the wall, no way to get out.

Karena still struggled to get free, but to no avail. Itachi stopped her as he moved closer to her, cupping her chin.

"Itachi what are you-mmmf!" Karena started to say, but then was interrupted by Itachi kissing her.

She wanted to free herself, but she couldn't. Once she was kissing him, it reminded her of Sasuke. Itachi's kiss, reminded her of his kiss, sweet and passionate. Itachi's was a bit colder though. Itachi broke the kiss after about two minutes of him tasting hers. Karena gasped for air, trying hard to breath through the ropes that were binded around her neck and waist. Itachi took two of his fingers and put them on his lips as he closed his eyes. Karena looked at him, searching for what was going to happen next.

"Itachi..." She started to say, and then stopped as he opened his eyes. She looked into them, they looked hungry for more. Itachi came closer to her again, and lightly pressed his lips onto her trembling ones. Itachi pulled on the ropes that bound her around her neck and through them on the ground, allowing her to move her head. He put his arms around her neck and kissed her more, wanting to go deeper.

Karena was surprised, 'I can't do anything, unless he continues to pull the ropes away from me...but that would be a bad choice for him.' Karena thought.

Itachi kept pressing his lips to Karena's, leaving her no choice but to kiss back. Itachi finally got to her sweet addicting taste, and put his tongue on the ridge of her lips. Itachi shifted his head, and Karena was so surprised that she accidentally slightly opened her mouth. He used this chance and slipped his tongue into her mouth, exploring every inch inside. Karena was so surprised. She didn't know what to do. Itachi pulled on the ropes around her waist and threw them on the ground, disappearing. Karena watched as he put his arm around her waist and pulled her closer, but never letting go.

Karena was angry now, she tried with all of her might and pulled one of her arms free and pushed Itachi away.

Itachi looked at her amazed, "You have such a good taste, and I am surprised that you got out of that jutsu, it is a very powerful one that even I can't escape." Itachi said grabbing onto her hand and forcing it behind her back. A moan escaped Karena's mouth as he forced it.

"You know why my little brother has a new rival?" Itachi asked her cupping her chin with his other free hand, "Because his new rival is me..."

Karena stared at him, "W-Why!?" Karena asked.

Itachi came over and whispered in her ear, "Because, I love you..."

Itachi poofed out of the room after he said that to her; instantly the roped around Karena's body started to start to disintegrate, she fell to the floor rubbing her wrists.

"Itachi...what do you want from me?" Karena said aloud, looking out the window that was open with the breeze coming in, showing the third quarter moon.
