HE Took HER! And WE Want HER Back!
Chapter 26
Haruka's POV
It is dark, but I am warm...and content. If I knew happiness, escape, and freedom were so easily gained, I would have jumped through some ice a long time ago.
I just wonder why it is so dark...I always thought there would be beauty, but it seems like I'm looking through the world through closed eyes. Maybe that is it! My eye are just closed!
I struggle to open them, my lids are just so heavy...but eventually my efforts are rewarded-there is light and I'm staring at a...ceiling? Confusion courses through me, but it quickly turns to dread as a seemingly familiar and simultaneously unfamiliar female voice exclaims, "Itachi! She is waking up!"
Ice runs through my veins and I clench my eyes close-wishing for the warm happy darkness to return. No. No. No. Not Itachi! I am dead! I am free from him and the pain! Why can't I be free!? Did he save me? What didn't he get about me wanting to be free of him!? Couldn't I have just this one thing? And how did he manage to do it, dammit?
I'm pretty sure the strangled cry I hear is coming from my own throat. But I don't care. Instead of getting the freedom I crave, I am placed right back into my perpetual hell. What did I do to deserve all of this?
"Haruka, open your eyes and look at me please." It is a gentle voice, but it belonged to him. Itachi. He is the cause of all this pain. The root of all evil. I let out a piercing scream in reply-eyes remaining blessedly close.
A hand gently places it on my shoulder and the icy blood freezes in me freezes completely over. No touching. It is bad. Memories of now and then...with that beast in the alley muddle together. I thrash around trying to get away from the hand. No. No. No. This...these memories are so much worse then Itachi. The hands try to hold me down and I'm screaming, crying, and thrashing-a desperate animal trying to escape. No.
The hands quickly remove themselves, suddenly as if they had been burnt. I move to a huddle, breathing heavily, crying; refusing to open my eyes and face anything. Suddenly I feel a pinch in my skin and the injection of a pleasantly cool liquid. Ut makes me feel heavy and like I'm going to fade away.
I want to fade away.
But before my mind does, I hear Itachi's voice. "I need to take care of something. If she wakes up and acts like that again, just inject her with this."
The words don't make sense, but it doesn't matter...the darkness is too inviting.
Kakashi POV
I stare out the prison door in dumb shock. The ANBU prison guard in front of me had unlocked and opened my cell door. "Is this some kind of trap?" I ask, cautiously.
The guard, sighs-evidently annoyed. The mask is removed and Uchiha Itachi is standing before me. "Things are complicated." He stated. I leapt up into a fighting stance and tensed. He shook his head. "I'm not here for that...don't concern yourself with anything other than I'm breaking you out and bringing you and my brother to Haruka for the time being."
I slowly nodded and then frowned. "Sasuke is not here."
Itachi rolled his eyes in annoyance before placing the mask back on. "Of course he isn't." He muttered under his breath, before grabbing my arm. "Come on. I can find him later; Haruka needs at least one of you now."
