Chapter 7
"Boy that was fun un," Deidara said, getting off the rollercoaster.
"Really that was my nightmare," Yuki said clutching her heart. Her hair was windswept and tangled. She is going to French braid it later.
Deidara…well Deidara looked attractive as always even with his windswept hair. He looked wild and tame, the type of boy that would make any girl go crazy (A/N: I don't this a lot but can you see that ^o^). His blue eyes staring at the roller coasters they had ye t to get on.
His eyes locked on hers, "Your hair is a mess un" Deidara pointed out.
Yuki frowned, of course her hair was missed up, and he forced her on the damn rollercoaster.
He wrapped his arm around her shoulder, pushing her closer and kissing the side of her head.
Yuki smile, "Thank you Deidara," A cart full of screaming people passed them, "Let's go somewhere else," wanting to go somewhere else.
"Awww your no fun un," Deidara whined. Keeping his arm wrapped around her shoulder, "Didn't you have fun?"
"I did have…getting off,"
Deidara laughed, "You want to fix your hair hmm? Though I do like your hair like that yeah,"
"Yes, I'll be in the restroom," Yuki pushed Deidara's arm off.
Yuki felt a pair of cold eyes on her back, turning around she scanned the area. A tall man in the distance stood with his back facing her.
She shrugged and went into the restroom.
Standing in front of the mirror, Yuki stared at herself. Her hair was messed up, she was glad she didn't put much make up on; she would be a real mess. Pulling out a brush from her purse Yuki and began brushing and quickly putting her hair into French braid. Fixing her top from the wrinkles and failing she zipped up her sweater half away. This was going to be good as it is going to get.
She walked outside looking for Deidara. She didn't notice a person standing in front of her; she collided into him and tumbled backwards landing on her butt.
"Itachi Uchiha," Yuki made his name sound like venom, "We should stop running into each other like this," She was talking about ramming into and/or something spilling on her.
Last time she was with him, the sprinklers turned on getting them both wet and freezing. The time before that glass shards and blood covered her. And who could forget their first meeting she managed to bump into him and spill alcohol all over herself.
She was sure Itachi found it amusing that such tragedies befell on her. Yuki found it sheer dumb luck and annoying.
"Maybe if you watched where you are going we wouldn't have this problem," He said with no emotion but his eyes showed a flicker of amusement.
"If you didn't stand in front of me 'I' wouldn't have this problem," she made an emphasizes on the word 'I' letting him know that he had yet to embarrass himself like she has.
"I wanted to see how well you pay attention," Itachi stood there with a blank face but Yuki could hear the smugness in his voice. Damn him.
Yuki hissed Itachi just watched her, "What are you doing here?" This was supposed to be a date for just her and Deidara no Itachi in mind.
"I'm on a date," Itachi answered casually.
"What woman in her right mind would want to date you?" Yuki got up her butt aching from the contact of the floor. Itachi could be gentlemanly and help her up.
"Yuki, Itachi," Said a familiarly voice on queue.
Yuki turned towards the voice. Princess was walking towards them her hips swaying in a seductive manner. Her clothing a low, red, V-neck top that showed cleavage and a brown skirt that went down to her knees. Princess always walked out in more fashionable clothes like she did now.
"She isn't right in the head," Yuki glanced at Itachi through the corner of her eyes. He gave out a light chuckle but went back to his emotionless mask.
Princess clung on to Itachi's arm, "Hey Yuki, I didn't expect to see you here?" She smiled a sly smile.
Princess was a terrible liar. She was there when Deidara invited her. Well at least that explained why Itachi was here.
"Princess,"
"Hmm,"
"That skirt looks horrid," Yuki pointed to the ugly brown skirt princess was wearing.
"Thanks for being a critic Yuki," Princess spat out.
"Don't mind me; it's not my fault you chose to wear that awful skirt,"
"Your hair looks shitty," Princess growled back.
Yuki was about to say something on how rude it was for girls to curse, when Deidara wrapped his arm around her waist. He glared at Itachi but didn't say anything, giving Princess a questionable look, he turned towards Yuki.
"Want to play carnival games?" Deidara asked.
Yuki raised an eyebrow she had being begging Deidara for carnival games since they got here. What was with change of heart all of the sudden.
"Um…" Deidara wasn't looking at her he was glancing at Itachi and shifted behind her. Yuki glanced at Itachi he was also glancing behind her.
Yuki was about to glance behind her to see what they were looking at, only for Deidara to yank her so she looking directly at him.
"Oh," was the only sound Yuki managed to make. She was surprised by Deidara's sudden rough jesters. He wrapped his arm around Yuki once again and began leading her to the games.
Yuki tried to glance behind her. What could make Deidara so nervous? But Itachi blocked her view, his arms wrapped around Princess's shoulder. What could make Itachi so nervous?
"I guess we are going with you," Said Princess trying her best to keep up with Itachi's long strides. Itachi glanced at Yuki before glancing behind him. Yuki glanced at Deidara frowning. What could make the Akatsuki members nervous?
"God, how can you stand these games?" Princesses growled. She threw the last of her ring and missed.
"What?" Yuki threw her ring too, almost hitting a hundred but missed, "Sorry, I wasn't listening. Could you repeat that?"
Yuki took her concentration from the two men to stare at her friend. Deidara kept glancing behind him and Itachi was mumbling something into his cell phone.
"How can you play this game?" Princess asked ignoring the two nervous men.
"All in the wrist," Yuki answered moved her wrist.
"STUP-UP UCHIHA!" Deidara finally shouted.
Yuki looked at Itachi then back to Deidara. The nervous tension around them was gone. Deidara was fuming, and Itachi looked like he was smirking but Yuki couldn't tell. Itachi pulled out a cigarette and lit it.
Yuki sighed, now things were back to normal. Deidara was fighting with Itachi trying to prove who was better. Itachi was ignoring him, looking bored and wondering why he was here. He bought three rings, and tossed one by one, each landing in the middle. He won a big prize and handed it to Princess who had hearts in her eyes.
Yuki glanced at Deidara; he was looking for something or someone. The danger wasn't good it still lurked but it has disappeared for now.
"Deidara," Yuki called wrapping her arms around him. Deidara gave her, his full attention, "Good you're finally looking at me," Yuki was letting him know that she noticed something was amiss.
Deidara wrapped his arm around her waist and gave her a questionable look.
Yuki frowned, she wasn't going to get answers from him now and flirting wouldn't work. He was tense, her hands moved from around his neck to his arms, the muscle in his arms had yet to relax and he was holding her a lot tighter than normal.
"I'm hungry," Yuki said when she felt her stomach rumble, "Let's go get cotton candy,"
Deidara nodded and began leading her to the food court.
The smell of fresh roasted corn dogs and buttery popcorn fill the air. Children yelling and screaming gave the food area a bit more a family friendly feeling. Yuki watched as two blonde children in school uniforms ran to get funnel cake. The youngest fell and began crying while the oldest walked up to his sister and began mellowing out her tears by telling her all sorts of fun filled lies.
Yuki chuckled at this and brought the sweet tasting sugary treat to her lips. Deidara had an arm around her waist now completely relaxed.
"Do you really think the candy fairy will come and give her candy late at night hmm?" Deidara asked also watching the two children.
Yuki shrugged, "Children believe anything they wish to believe," Yuki remembered staying up all night frightened that an Incubus will come and steal her heart if she slept, "We believed in Santa Claus,"
"I didn't un," Deidara said trying to sound masculine, "I believe only in art,"
Yuki shook her head and continued to eat her cotton candy, she glanced at the children to see a man with white hair hand them their funnel cakes.
Deidara and Yuki continued their day just as it began, NO ITACHI and his girlfriend. Deidara managed to get Yuki on some death traps (as she personally saw them), but none that will kill her. He even played some games winning most of them, with high scores.
"You should have picked a bigger prize," Deidara grumbled, leaving one of the stalls. After constant bickering, Deidara finally convinced Yuki to pick a prize, only to be disappointed when she picked a little one.
Deidara sat on a bench pushing Yuki down to his lap. He was grumbling but Yuki could tell he was having fun.
"I love the little black sheep*," Out of all the stuffed animals the ugly black sheep caught Yuki's eyes the most. Yuki showed him the black sheep. Its wool was made of soft cotton that could be found at the normal drug store. Its skin was made of soft black leather that was badly stitched something a two year old might do, and the ugliest beady black eyes that were lopsided. Even with all the ugliness of the sheep the eyes topped it off not because they were lopsided but because they were just dead, but captivating, "And I did pick up a stuffed animal un," Yuki mocked, she wrapped her arms around Deidara's neck and watched the clouds move.
"How can I show off to the Uchiha when my girlfriend doesn't pick up big prizes un," Deidara complained loudly, showing off to two young boys watching Deidara enviously. Deidara placed his hand on Yuki's back.
"Oh, hush now," Yuki leaned in and kissed him, all problems being forgotten.
"Don't you guys ever give each other room?" A voice said interrupting their kiss.
Yuki sighed and leaned her forehead on Deidara's. She rolled her eyes to show him that she was also upset by the interruption. Yuki moved away to look at the culprits.
"Shut- up Karman," Deidara growled, not even looking at them.
Yuki got off Deidara's lap, and stared at princess who was at the moment carrying two rather large stuff animals. Behind her Itachi was carrying a large teddy bear, the size of a small child. By the looks of it Itachi was getting irritated and had started another cigarette that was half way done. He was glaring at Yuki. She shivered, and tried to ignore him.
"We thought we lost you un," Deidara grumbled leaning so he was more comfortable on the bench.
"We've been around," Princess answered sarcastically, "Playing games, Itachi winning all the games," She glanced at Yuki's dead, ugly sheep.
Yuki's eyes narrowed a warning, but it was too late, Deidara exploded. Yuki took the opportunity to tease Itachi. Or at least get back at him for testing her observation skills.
"Is that your latest girlfriend (or victim) Uchiha?" Yuki pointed the shaggy teddy bear in his arm.
Yuki fell backwards as the view of black fur covered, her sight, "Uchiha Itachi was it really necessary to throw the bear?" Yuki growled glaring at Itachi. Her butt was hurting ten times more thanks to the jackass.
"I thought the bear might bring some common sense into your mind," Itachi said helping her up.
Yuki huffed and held on to Itachi's arm. Unfortunately the bear managed to knock some wind out of her, so she needed help regaining her balance. Itachi just stood there like a pole and waited for her to get her footing right. Yuki was really regretting that she wore high heel boots.
Giving on final glare to the fine Uchiha, Yuki looked closely at the teddy bear, "Too bad she isn't your girlfriend. She's quite lovely," She glanced at Itachi's date and felt a small flame of anger inside the pit of her stomach of her "She isn't as stuffed," Yuki growled. What was she feeling right now was it jealousy? but why? She had Deidara, what more did she want? Still, she glanced at the handsome face of the Uchiha, "Probably has more brains too," Yuki joked.
Itachi shook his head and flicked the remains of cigarette to the ground below. Yuki stared at the teddy bear again her fingers brushed the mane of his fur. So beautiful.
"I need your number," Itachi said smashing the cigarette under his foot.
Yuki raised an eyebrow, she was about to ask "how come?" When remembered she gave Sasuke her number and didn't question his motives for her number, Itachi at least deserved the same respect. She glanced at Itachi.
"Here," She didn't want to give her number but she had to.
Yuki stared at the teddy's crimson eyes. They looked a bit more alive than Yuki's dead black sheep that was now hiding in her purse.
"Why do you have more life then my sheep?" Yuki mumbled, "It's not fair,"
She tilted its head so it was looking her questionably.
"Here," Itachi said, throwing the phone to a surprised Yuki. Yuki caught it clumsily and glared at Itachi, then at her phone. He had texted her…
"Talking to the teddy bear makes you look crazy,"
Yuki stared at the text she was surprised, that Itachi had comedic side. She put the phone back in to her purse.
"It agrees with you," Yuki told Itachi. Placing its head near her ear Yuki moved his head back and forth so it was like whispering, "but…" she glanced at the teddy bear, "I have to agree with you," she looked at Itachi, "It says I'm crazy because of you," she pointed an accusing finger in his direction.
The teddy nodded in agreement.
"Me?" Itachi raised an eyebrow.
"Yes you threw the teddy bear at me it must of knocked the common sense straight out of me," Yuki moved the teddy's bear hand and tapped its head.
"So it had the opposite effect," Itachi mumbled looking away.
"So it did," Yuki answered she looked at the teddy and twirled her finger near her head and rolled her eyes signaling that she thought Itachi was crazy.
"Ah, it looks just like you," Yuki held the teddy bear so it was facing her, "Same black fur, same dull eyes and of course same frown that lines your face," Yuki titled her head right and glanced at Itachi to the bear then back to Itachi. "What do you think Itachi Jr.?" The teddy bear nodded in agreement.
"Glad you can see resemblance," Itachi growled.
"Besides that, I'm getting attached to this teddy," Yuki's fingers brushed its fur.
"Hn," Itachi answered, "You can have it," Yuki looked at him surprised, "I don't think Lay- Karman would notice if I gave it away,"
"It's not that. I just don't have room. There is a reason why I didn't pick big stuffed animals," Yuki answered simply upset that she had to give the bear away.
"You are riding his motorcycle," Itachi stated.
Yuki frowned, when she felt the bear being violently tugged away from her and thrown back to Itachi who caught it without struggle.
"Yuki un," Deidara wrapped his arms around her waist, "Let's go on that yeah," Deidara pointed to the craziest rollercoaster full of twist and turns and heavens who knows what else.
"Um…"Yuki was about to say something when Itachi pointed to a less extreme ride… a haunted house.
"They say it's the best place to get a real scare," Princess said squirming with excitement.
Yuki looked at the haunted house. It could be fun, last time she was in a haunted house was summer, it gave her good laugh…but still. She glanced at the death trap roller coaster…well the haunted house she might lose her life but it beat losing her lunch. It wasn't like "He" was going to be there.
Before she could answer Deidara grabbed her hand and dragged her way. Yuki struggled with Deidara's tight grip, he was hurting her slightly.
"What were you whispering about hmmm?" Deidara growled.
"What?" Yuki looked questionable before it clicked, "Business, we were talking business," They were talking business right? She gave Itachi her number because of business not because she'll be waiting at night to hear his voice.
Yuki blushed remembering the moments she wanted Itachi to kiss her. She shook her head at memory. What about the date? Was she disappointed when Itachi didn't kiss her? Yuki wasn't sure. Yuki leaned on Deidara's shoulders and groaned. What was wrong with her?
"If you make it to the end you'll get a prize," The young teenage girl said, ripping the ticket.
Deidara was tense as he led her into the haunted house and searched around for an empty room finally finding one Deidara led her in.
"Are you lying hmmm?" Deidara growled.
Yuki's eyes widen with the fact that he asked her if she was lying. It surprised her, caught her off guard. The question off bounced walls echoing each and every word and the silence between them became thick.
"Excuse me," Yuki final spoke glaring at Deidara.
Deidara should know she wasn't a liar. Yes she bent the truth, yes she looked over important details, and yes sometimes she avoids the question but that didn't make her a liar. She never lied, because she couldn't lie.
Maybe she heard Deidara wrong. Maybe he asked her in a joking like fashion, "Is Itachi lying hmm?" or maybe something like this "Was that teddy bear talking hmm?" and Yuki would answer like this, "Deidara are you going loony, of course not," then they would continue on with their date but…he didn't ask those types of question.
Yuki and Deidara began fuming at each other.
"No, Deidara I'm not lying," Each word came out like venom. She put emphasis on the word lying to prove that she wasn't happy.
Deidara didn't seem fazed. Of course why should he? He worked out twice a week making him much stronger then her, working with the Akatsuki made him deal with much scarier people then her and dealing with drugs he knew an empty threat when one was thrown at him. Why didn't she stop herself from what she was going to say?
"Stay out of it, if you know what's good for you!" Yuki growled. An empty threat, she knew it, he knew it. Deidara's eyes narrowed his eyes at her threateningly.
Yuki shivered slightly afraid she never saw Deidara angry and never at her. She wasn't going to back down though.
"You want me to stay out of it yeah," He growled.
"Yes," Yuki hoped that she didn't sound scared. She was being stupid but anger brought out the worst in people, it made them foolish.
"How can I when my girlfriend is hanging all over him hmmm?" Deidara said between clenched teeth.
She never hung all over Itachi. Where did he get that idea from? The only time she ever talked with Itachi was when she was fighting with him. Fighting? That wasn't hanging all over him that was showing that Itachi and her were never meant to get along with one another. She wasn't even flirting with him was she?
"Deidara we were talking business," Yuki sighed.
"Is that why went on a date with him hmm?" Deidara growled.
Yuki's eyes widen, "How do you know?" Dumb question, dumb question. Her IQ has been really slipping since she met the Akatsuki.
"Well?"
Yuki groaned placing her head in her palm and repeated, "Business,"
Deidara snorted, "I told you to keep away from him unless I'm around un,"
Why didn't she tell him? He did call her and warn her about Itachi. So she had enough time to tell him but the date was meant for Itachi and her. It was to clear the air with her feelings. Get her head around things though she was still confused.
"I can handle myself, Deidara. I have done it before I met you I can do it now," Yuki was being foolish. Why didn't she give up and say sorry. Her life was getting way too complicated.
"Itachi will hurt you un. You are in danger being with him yeah," Deidara shook her, a slight bit.
"I'm in no more danger with him then I'm with you," Yuki pushed herself out of his grasp.
There was a long silence. Deidara growled and punched the wall behind Yuki; denting the hard wooden surface and stormed off. Yuki stared at the dent; a few drops of blood covered the wall. He hurt himself, and it was her fault.
"How do you know," Yuki mumbled looking at his back.
"I saw you yeah," Deidara said licking the wounds on his hand. He didn't look back at her and continued walking.
Yuki followed right behind him, not say anything.
(Itachi)
Itachi opened his 1998, black Ferrari for his date to put in more of her toys. The countless stuffed animals he won for her, just to shut her up, were beginning to fill up the small sports car.
"Deidara didn't seem happy," Layla (or Karman) said.
"Hn," was all Itachi answered throwing the teddy bear in the back with the rest of the shit.
He forgot for a second that Yuki wasn't his and what he really wanted was not her body but the power. Itachi glared at the thought of Yuki and Deidara.
He didn't like the thought of her kissing another man, ever. Itachi should probably end this date he had her contact information, things went according to plan. He'll call Yuki about the ships coming earlier than planned.
He glanced at the teddy bear sitting neatly in the back. The way Yuki sat on Deidara's lap and kissed him, pissed Itachi off for some unexplained reason.
"Let's go," Layla/Karman said.
Itachi raised an eyebrow, was she ordering him?
"You went on a date with her the other day and she is dating Deidara?" Karman looked confused, "I mean Yuki normally dates Jerks like you," She pointed towards Itachi "The type of guy that would leave her for a nice pair of legs, because she is boring you or she can't do what you want,"
Itachi raised an eyebrow, that's the reason why Karman left him…not that he cared.
"Deidara…Deidara ignores a nice pair of legs. He cares about Yuki she won't bore him anytime soon…and she won't be bored too…but still that doesn't mean she isn't interested in you…she claims your date was business but I feel,"
"If I finish this date will you shut-up," Itachi growled interrupting Karman.
"Yes," Karman said.
Itachi walked back towards the carnival. Deidara dragged Yuki away towards the haunted house. They could still be there (it was a maze making it a bit more scarier)
Itachi bought the tickets, "If you make it out alive you get a prize," a young girl said trying to sound scary but sounding more ridicules.
As soon as the two went in somebody jumped out, Karman jumped back and gasped and clung on to Itachi.
Itachi sighed he'll need a smoke after this.
He heard people screaming and "boo's" as they walked father in.
"What are you two doing in here?" Yuki asked coming out of a tunnel, Deidara tailing behind her.
"To get the prize," Karman joked.
Yuki raised an eyebrow. She wasn't looking at him anymore; she wasn't making eye contact with him. She was refusing to look at him. Itachi glared at her. Deidara glared at Itachi then walked ahead.
Itachi raised an eyebrow. Deidara and Yuki weren't talking, weren't mindlessly flirting with each other. Deidara wasn't holding on to her possessively and Yuki wasn't chasing him around. There was a tense air between them, something like a knife couldn't cut but something Itachi could get between. He glanced at Yuki again who just let out a sigh.
(Yuki)
Yuki sighed, great just what she need the reason why she was fighting with Deidara , standing right in front of her. Yuki looked everywhere but at Itachi. She was pissed and mainly at him. She knew she shouldn't be but she was. She was acting childish, she knew it. She was the one at fault, she should have told Deidara so what if he tagged along, he would have saved her from the date.
Yuki looked around her surroundings, has she been walking this entire time? Yuki felt the whole losing yourself in a tunnel, turned in to pitch black maze, where you couldn't see in front of you the whole time. Yuki blinked a few times and looked to her right side where Deidara was standing not too long ago. She couldn't see him, Yuki's heart began beating quickly. She looked for Itachi, "Karman" or Deidara anybody she could recognize, but it was too dark to see.
She didn't want to lose anybody. Though, where her day has been going today it wouldn't be a bad thought to consider. It would be time for herself.
Something brushed across her feet, Yuki gasped and jumped back bumping into somebody.
"Sorry," Yuki said looking at the Dark shadow.
The sound of thunder cut through the darkness, like a crackling whip. Yuki clung on to the person's shirt sleeve scared. Another sound of thunder, Yuki stepped back closing her eyes and still clinging on the person's sleeve.
Many things didn't scare Yuki, snakes didn't scare Yuki because she could collect their poison, spiders didn't scare her again collection of poison, and scary moves bored her. Itachi admittedly scared her a little bit but he scared everybody. Yuki was afraid of thunder, it brought back unnecessary memories Yuki always tried to bury.
'Please let it be somebody I know,' Yuki prayed in her head, 'Please let it be somebody I know,' Yuki was referring to person she was clinging on to. He was moving a little bit showing signs of annoyance, with his new clinging buddy.
Another sound of thunder Yuki was going to step a bit closer but the person let out a growl and grabbed on to her hand and began dragging her away. Yuki tried to struggle free from the man's grasp but choosing between the thunder or her new kidnappers Yuki would choose her new kidnapper.
The man that grabbed her was pretty strong, she couldn't slip away, because of his strength. Then again Yuki has never been the strongest. The man seemed to know where he was going, he was dragging Yuki with ease stopping every once in awhile to find a way out this labyrinth.
"Please let it be somebody I know, please let it be somebody I know," Yuki said, when the sound of thunder could no longer be heard, running blindly in the dark in with an unknown stranger.
Yuki stared at the raven hair of Itachi Uchiha. His long legs taking larger steps, making him walk faster than her legs. Yuki was getting tired quickly.
'Why does it have to be him,' Yuki whined in her head, 'A stranger would have been a lot better,'
"Congratulations, you have made it the end," the ticket lady said and handed Itachi the prize. Yuki took advantage of this short pause and tried to catch her breath. The prize was two tickets to a hot spring Yuki never heard about.
Itachi hardly scanned the ticket before he was off again giving Yuki only an inch of a time to catch her breath. As Itachi ran around the park, hardly pausing to catch his breath but he seemed to doing fine better then Yuki who's lungs were about to burst.
"Itachi…slow…down," Yuki gasped between breaths.
Itachi began slowing down till he came to a complete halt completely, "We have a problem,"
'Besides you kidnapping me,' Yuki thought. She raised an eyebrow as she panted for oxygen, "What…do…you…mean?"
Yuki stared at him blinking. He was joking right? His face showed no hint that he was joking just that same dull, emotionless, mask that he wore all the time. Then there had to be a mistake, the Uchiha must of made a mistake. The Uchiha had that dark menacing aura incapable of mistakes.
Yuki opened her mouth ready to speak, when Itachi grabbed her hand and began running. He stopped at a stand selling little trinkets.
"I wish you would warn me, before you start running," Yuki said sarcastically rubbing her sore wrist. Both of their backs were facing the crowd.
Itachi wrapped his arm around her shoulder, "You see that man over there," Itachi glanced at the silver haired man threw one of the round mirrors at the corner of the stale.
Yuki glanced at mirror and nodded.
The man in the mirror was talking on the phone laughing, at something. He had short silver hair that was messy from the top and tied in an attempted would be pony tail, near the nape of his neck. He was wearing a white doctor's coat and boring purple cloth underneath. One hand was shoved deep into his pocket, the other holding on to the cell phone. Though he was talking animatedly on the phone Yuki could see through his thin round glasses, he was staring at them with confusion and anger in his gray eyes.
Yuki looked away from the mirror and nodded. Itachi was hovering over her so the man couldn't see her acting like a shield so he the man wouldn't see her. Yuki glanced at the mirror again only to meet the Uchiha's crimson eyes.
"He is a spy for the sound," Itachi told her.
Yuki's hair stood up. A spy? That was why Itachi and Deidara were so uptight earlier. This is going to put a strain on her relationship with Deidara. Wasn't that dandy?
"He was following you earlier wasn't he?" Yuki emphasized on the 'You' part. As far as she was concerned she shouldn't be known by any sound spy's.
Yuki could feel Itachi's gaze on the top of her head.
She glanced at the spy again, if a geeky guy like that put Itachi and Deidara on the edge, then Yuki should fear him.
"His name is Kabuto Yakushi. He is Orochimaru's right hand man," Itachi was watching Kabuto the comas in his eyes were spinning. Yuki remembered the first time she met Itachi, the comas were spinning back then as well.
Yuki opened her mouth then shut it quickly. What was there to say? Itachi was making deals with the sound so he had to watch his back always. Unlike Deidara, Itachi knew when he was being followed. Unlike Deidara, Itachi seemed to know right when he had to watch his back always. Yuki knew that she too had to watch her back, with her dating Deidara and trading with Itachi.
Itachi pushed her closer becoming more like a black cloak over her, he watched as Kabuto walked off. He wasn't smiling any more the phone was clenched in his hand as he closed it.
"Stay quiet and keep hidden. It would be trouble if he recognized you," Itachi whispered softly. Who was Yuki to argue she rather stay out of trouble…for now.
Something caught the spy's eyes and he chased after it.
Yuki and Itachi stood in silence, both watching the direction Kabuto ran in. Several seconds later Itachi stepped back creating a cold feeling were Itachi once stood.
"Kabuto didn't recognize me?" Itachi was staring in the direction Kabuto still, he sound questionable and annoyed. He closed his eyes.
When Itachi opened his eyes onyx brown eyes were left staring at her. Yuki shifted uncomfortably under Itachi's new eyes. She always thought Itachi's eyes were beautiful when they weren't glaring at her but now his eyes were breath taking. She wished he could stare her all time with those beautiful eyes.
"WHEN DID I TURN IN TO A HOPELESS ROMANTIC?" Yuki shouted.
Itachi winced at Yuki's sudden outburst. He closed his eyes again when he opened them crimson eyes were glaring at her.
"Hopeless romantic?" Itachi asked.
"Just thinking…out loud," Yuki answered, "Never mind that what do you mean coming early and does this concern my family?" Yuki asked if it didn't concern her family then it was no concern of hers but if it did, she had to protect Akito's name.
Itachi began walking the opposite direction of Kabuto. Yuki stood there gawking. Did he just brush her off? Yuki sighed, will she ever get a straight answer from the jerk.
The said jerk, stopped glanced over his shoulder and continued walking. Yuki took it as a sign to follow him. Chasing after him Yuki managed to keep up with his long strides, Itachi was fast even when walking.
"When are they coming?" Yuki whispered.
Itachi stayed quiet before answering, "Sometime this month,"
"WHAT?" Yuki screamed.
"Ms. Hunnutsuka, quiet down," Itachi hissed.
"Sorry," Yuki whispered, "That soon, when were they originally coming?"
"This month," Itachi answered. Yuki gave him a questionable look, "A spy lead my men and I to believe the shipment were coming in next month when it was originally coming this month,"
"A spy?" Yuki stayed quiet, "Uchiha Itachi, I am not putting my clan in danger,"
"Does anyone in the Hunnutsuka's house hold know of the trade?" He pulled out a cigarette and lit it. He smokes Marlboro* Yuki realized.
"I believe it's only my brother's that know," Her brothers didn't have that big of a mouth to gossip with the households maid. Well…they were foolish enough to gossip but Hunnutsuka's business, "I haven't been at the house hold for a while,"
Itachi stared at her before walking off again.
"What do you plan on doing?" As for as Yuki was concerned this didn't concern her family, her family wasn't involved…yet.
"I want to ask for permission to use one of the Hunnutsuka ports," Itachi stated more then asked. It must be a thing for the Uchihas.
"Permission?" She stopped shortly taking in the information, "We don't have the paper work ready yet,"
"The plan was for the Akatsuki to start trade with the Hunnutsuka six months from now. The spy has changed the plan. The ports that was meant to be used has government spy's and it would seem to suspicious if have a ships floating around harbors,"
"And the spy?" If Itachi didn't do something about the spy then Yuki was putting her clans name in danger more than what was already intended.
Itachi glanced at Yuki then behind her, "It will only be between us,"
Yuki blushed at the words "us". How stupid could she get blushing at the word 'us', especially when the Uchiha used it.
"The government?" Yuki whispered avoiding eye contact.
"The government won't know," Itachi was staring back at her.
"Just this once," Yuki held up on finger.
"I'll be there to make sure things run smoothly," Itachi said.
Yuki nodded. They stood in silence, Yuki was processing everything Itachi just told her. Everything seemed to make sense but there were still a lot of unanswered questions and a bout loud of questions never asked.
"I'm going to run again," Itachi said grabbing her hand.
Yuki looked at him questionable hardly registering what Itachi just said. Itachi was already holding her hand and running towards the giant Ferris wheel in the middle of the carnival.
'Sarcastic bastard,' Yuki thought as Itachi dragged her through the carnival. Stopping, Itachi wrapped his arms around her waist as he dragged her into the Farris wheel's open cart.
Itachi hovered over her as the man closed the cart door shut leaving only thin sheet of glass the only way to look outside. Yuki glanced at his eyes they were once again spinning. Yuki tired to get away, when the cart gave a violent shove that it was moving, getting her a lot closer to Itachi then she originally planned.
Yuki could smell his cologne as he pushed her closer. He was wearing the same cologne he wore on their date mixed in with the very same sent of nicotine and his own special scent. His sent made her crazy to the point where thinking was impossible.
"Uchiha Itachi, let go of me," Yuki growled. Her body wasn't reacting well, it was acting like a teenaged hormonal girl.
Itachi let go of her. Yuki moved to the other side of the cart. Itachi's eyes were closed once again. Yuki was expecting to see his onyx brown eyes.
"I have a boyfriend, Uchiha," Yuki growled remind Itachi she was in love with somebody else but also herself.
Crimson eyes peeked at her. She was disappointed to see crimson and not the onyx.
'Deidara, Deidara, Deidara,' Yuki kept chanting in her head. She had to remember she had a boyfriend and the Uchiha wasn't it.
"Why do you keep running Uchiha?" Yuki growled.
Itachi didn't answer the Fairies wheel stopped every few seconds.
"Itachi what's going on?" Yuki took a seat next to Itachi, she was tired of running blindly. Truthfully Yuki was tired of running.
They made it to the top. Yuki could see the whole carnival* from up here. It was like she was flying, Yuki shook her head she had no time to think about that.
"Answer me Uchiha," Yuki hissed.
Itachi still didn't answer. Yuki was tempted to grab him and shake him just to get him to answer.
Itachi moved a slight bit his eyes lingered on the ground. Yuki could see people were beginning to turning on their lights as twilight was quickly approaching. Yuki honestly had no idea that it was getting so late. She checked her watch.
Itachi shifted again, his hand moved behind Yuki's head as he pushed her into a rough kiss. His hand tangled with her hair, as he slid his tongue in to her mouth.
Yuki watched as the twilight sun went behind the horizon. Yuki had no idea how to react. The lights turned on in their little cart waking Yuki up. She pushed and moved away from the Uchiha to the far end of the cart.
Her fingers traced her lips. Did she…did they just…no it was him who kissed her. Many excuses begin popping up in Yuki's head. The kiss was forced Yuki had no intention of kissing him, it wasn't a kiss.
Itachi stared at her his face emotionless but he had a slight smirk that told her he always won. Yuki tried to slink away from his view. She was enjoying him looking at her a bit too much to be conserved normal. Yuki shivered.
The Ferris wheel stopped at the end of the ride. Yuki jumped out as soon as cart door opened, and into a surprised Deidara's arm.
Deidara was even more surprised when Yuki kissed him.
"What happened hmm?" He asked when Yuki broke off from the kiss.
Yuki was about to answer when Karman interrupted, "Aw man I wanted to go on the Ferris wheel before sundown,"
"Why?" Yuki questioned, she still clung on to Deidara.
"Legend has it if you kiss on top of the Ferris wheel during sound down, then you and your lover are forever fated," Karman sound dreamy about but then smiled, "But that's an old wives tale,"
Yuki blushed again and pushed Deidara into another passionate kiss.
"Really Yuki what's wrong hmm?" Deidara asked, not that he didn't enjoy the kiss but Yuki wasn't that type of girl, that kissed whenever.
"Nothing," Yuki said quickly, "That's important," she smiled.
Deidara raised an eyebrow and looked at Itachi, who was walking away lighting a cigarette.
"What did you do to her un?" Deidara growled.
"Deidara relax, it's getting late lets go home," Yuki said placing her hands on Deidara's arm.
Deidara stared at her suspiciously, something happened between those two. Yuki kissed him once again, and lead him away from the carnival.
