Chapter 56: I'm His, He's Mine
I wasn't really sure what to do or say as Itachi-sama sat on the bed once we were in the room. He looked to me as if he was waiting for something. I nervously crossed over to the other side of the small, simplistic room and peered out the singular second floor window. The evening grew cold as the sun began to set. A small sigh left me as I thought about something, anything to say to break the silence. Just before loosing hope and going into a mental panic, Itachi's voice gently filled the air, calming my nerves.
"You asked how I can shoulder the burdens of the past..."
I turned to him curiously. His eyes were calmly observing my every move. He's always done this, like I was a mystery to him or a puzzle to solve. I gave him a nod and leaned against the window pane, holding it for support.
I saw the corner of his mouth turn up slightly. He knew that he made me nervous. In truth, he always has but now that I've been split, that sweet, carefree side of me wasn't here to cover it up. It's not like I was afraid of him but there was something about him that made my heart pound any time I looked at him. My eyes dropped to the floor as he seemed to be in deep thought, probably trying to find a suitable answer for my question. Itachi has no doubt been through hell and back. He was the only one I could identify with on the subject, even if my past wasn't nearly as grueling as his own.
I heard him rise from the bed and peered up as he slowly made his way to me. My heart picked up in pace as I tried to keep a blank expression. I wouldn't let him see the tension building inside with every step he took.
He paused just inches before me. I blinked away my nervousness before looking into his eyes. He found me amusing, I could tell from the smug way he peered into my soul. My eyebrows creased in modest irritation. I enjoyed the fact that he wasn't emotionless with me, however sometimes I would have preferred it.
A gentle smile played across his lips. "Are you nervous...?"
"No..." I managed to breathe the word.
Itachi's smile became more of a grin as he leaned closer. "Are you sure?"
A light blush exposed some of the torment happening inside and I drew in a shallow breath. He gently brushed my cheek with his fingers before gently resting his forehead on mine.
"Years ago...we promised to share our burdens so that we could move forward." His voice was so deliciously deep and smooth, the words seemed to melt into my core. "I believed it to be true all this time...that we've shared our hardship. It's how I continue on."
...
Itachi heard her breath catch and watched her eyes widen. He lightly gripped her hips to make sure she wasn't going to pass out. "Breathe... Shikara..." She blinked and did as he instructed.
Her darkness didn't take away from her cuteness. Her walls still crumbled before him and it brought him more pleasure than she would ever know. His eyelids slightly dropped as she peered at him with uncertainty. It vexed him to see her this way towards him. Would he have to prove his love for her again? Itachi exhaled his slight frustration and closed his eyes before pulling her into an embrace. Her body froze against him. Seconds passed before she finally rested her arms around his waist and softly nestled her face into his chest.
"Itachi-sama?"
Her small, silvery voice was alluring to him and peaked his curiosity. "Yes...my dark angel?" The corner of his mouth turned up as her breath caught again.
"Um..." her face turned so that he could see her and she had to take a moment to gather her thoughts, "...the Hokage said something to me...that if the scroll is labeled as forbidden I wouldn't be able to see it..." Shikara's eyes seemed to be peering into nothingness. "If I can't study the scroll, I may be stuck this way..."
Itachi blinked before his head tilted ever so slightly. "And...?"
She bit down on the inside of her lips to seal them shut as she contemplated what she was going to say. She released them after a moment of sorting her thoughts and shyly peered into his eyes.
"I was wondering if you'd really want..." she paused to take a breath. Her heart was racing again and he could feel it. "If I'm stuck this way, would you still want me...?" Her voice broke on the last word and she dropped her head down shamefully.
Itachi blinked away his slight frustration once again before tilting her pretty little face up to face him.
"You don't think that I love you as you are?"
Her eyebrows creased in doubt. The way she did this caused him to swallow his rising irritation as he waited for her to answer. Then again, maybe he didn't want to hear it.
"I-"
Itachi quickly decided against it. He wouldn't give her the chance to say anything else on the matter. He planted his lips on hers and waited to feel her melt into him before picking her up and carried her to find a more comfortable spot so he could express his fidelity to her. If it was proof she needed he would gladly show her. He wasn't going to tolerate her doubting him or having her irrational assumptions plague her mind. Itachi let her have some air as he laid down on the bed, pulling her close, which caused more nervousness to flash in her eyes. It was hard for him to be close to others as well, however she is to be his wife someday and her behavior must cease. As they lay on their sides, facing one-another, Itachi took her leg and placed it over his hip before stroking her cheek and gently kissed her forehead. He then slowly murmured to her. "You're mine forever...and until you've become one again, this is the part of you that I'll keep for myself."
...
My eyes widened at his proclamation. After letting it sink in, a small smile helplessly spread over my lips. The skepticism I felt was slowly melting away. Is he really okay with this?With me as I am now...?
My doubt about him enjoying this side of me faded when he didn't hesitate to take claim to my lips again. The feeling was electrifying, like a spark beginning to burst into flame. His kiss grew more passionate. I realized he had thought ahead by bringing us to the bed as my body grew weak against him. Surely if we were still standing I would have been kissing the floor, instead. A small gasp left my lips as he moved to hover over me and continued his kiss. His tongue slipped through my lips and found my own. He was stroking it and causing involuntary moans to escape. All feelings of nervousness from before dissipated as the kiss became more erotic while he traced my body with his fingers, moving from my shoulders, down and slowly to my hips
Itachi took his time as he kissed from my lips to my jawline and slowly made his way to my neck. It sent shivers of pleasure up my spine. I knew he enjoyed feeling my body react to him and his kisses became a soft nibble, causing my back to arch. He let out a soft breath before drawing himself back to repossess some control over himself. It was something that reminded me that he, too, had some difficulty with refraining from me. It was empowering in a sense and caused a small smile to appear. I didn't want him to refrain, with every bit of my being I wanted I make him loose control.
My eyelids dropped slightly in admiration for this god-like man to have chosen me as his. When he returned a small smile, I decided then as we looked to one another with expressions of nothing less than love and trust, that I would never doubt Itachi-sama again. I am his as he is mine and together we would walk through our darkness hand in hand, without fear of the challenges ahead. There was only one thing left for me to accept and it's the fact that I love him with every part of myself as I am now. My eyes only saw him and despite everything, I realized that I was okay with this.
I knew that because of the deep feelings I held for Itachi, Angel would share those similar feelings for Shisui. I sighed a breath of relief. There was nothing to hold me back and it didn't take a dance in the moonlight to figure it out.
As I gazed into those mesmerizing obsidian eyes, I brought a hand up to touch the soft skin of his cheek. He peered down at me with slight curiosity and this caused a small smile to play across my lips.
"Itachi-sama?"
His head slightly tilted in question.
A shy blush appeared over me. "I want to be yours...only yours...now." I knew it was wrong for me to be so forward, however what I said was true.
...
When she said this, Itachi's eyes widened. He couldn't contain his surprise on top of suppressing his urges to do more than he should to her. He had to take in a breath and release it to clear his mind before replying.
"You wish to be mine... and only mine..."
She gave a slow nod. "I want to be your wife Itachi-sama..." her voice was small but her eyes shined with determination.
He smiled gently down at his dark angel. She knew how to light that flame inside him and he craved to give her everything that she wanted.
"What about a ceremony?" He asked curiously.
"I don't need one...but I also want you to be happy Itachi-sama...if you want a proper marriage, I'll do everything to make sure you are satisfied." Her blush deepened and Itachi could feel his heart begin to beat harder than before.
He gently shook his head. "Having large crowds of people I don't know isn't something that I'd enjoy."
Her eyes gleamed in understanding. "It can be private...just you and I and whoever is willing to bless our union."
Her sweet smile melted his heart. He realized that he himself had flushed a light red and bowed his head. "I know someone, it may not be too late to speak with him..." after gaining his composure he peered down at her again and her eyes were glistening with radiance.
Her reaction caused him to feel a little astonished. It was incomprehensible that this perfect kunoichi actually wanted him for a husband, however he treasured her all the more for it. Itachi leaned down to steal one more long kiss before he pushed himself from the bed and held out a hand to his soon-to-be wife.
"If you're truly ready..." He coaxed to her smoothly.
Shikara blushed again with a slight nod before taking his hand and followed him from the hotel room. He could tell she was excited by the way she held is arm, smiling innocently all the way to the shrine.
An old man greeted them and Itachi knelt to the ground with great respect. Shikara followed his lead and bowed her head to hide her smile.
"Do my eyes deceive me? Or is Itachi Uchiha kneeling before me?"
"Your eyes have not deceived you...priest Kisho."
"Hm...I've heard you returned to the village, it seems that it is true." He slightly bowed his head. "It's good to see you again, Itachi." He straightened his posture to look upon them. "What can I do for you at such an hour?"
"My apologies for our late arrival, however I have a humble request." Itachi said looking up at the priest.
The priest's eyes widened a little. "Oh?"
"Would you bless our union?" Itachi was polite and straight to the point.
The priest looked from Itachi to Shikara who's head was still bowed.
"Well...I...uh...this is a suprise..." the old priest replied before a grin flashed across his face. "A very pleasant one, at that." Itachi couldn't help the calm smile that appeared. He would finally get to make Shikara his. "I'll bless your marriage, Itachi but on one condition."
Itachi looked to the priest with curiosity. "Anything."
The old man chuckled. "Take good care of her, I sense in her something very special."
Itachi smirked and gave a slight nod. "I will." He then glanced over to see Shikara blushing and holding her hands over her mouth in disbelief. A small chuckle escaped him. He could hardly believe this was happening, either...
The priest needed some time to prepare but it didn't take long before he returned to bless them and join them together in matrimony. It was simple, yet perfect for the two. When the rituals were finished the priest wished the two well before seeing Itachi and his new bride off with a bottle of sake as a gift.
Shikara blushed again as Itachi held out an arm. "Are you ready to return to our room?" He asked gently and she shyly took it before giving a nod.
"I'm ready."
He kissed her forehead before guiding her back. The ritual wasn't over yet and he had every intention to solidify it, even if it was the last thing he would ever do.
...
My heart pounded in my chest as Itachi-sama opened the room door and guided me in. He closed the door behind us and I turned to him with a blush, nervously awaiting for instruction. Itachi places the bottle of sake on the night stand before turning to me to cup my chin and lift up so that my face was turned to him and his lips brushed against mine. He then gently picked me up bridal-style and brought us to the bed where he lay me down, still kissing me softly.
No words were needed to know where this would lead as I helped him remove articles of clothing. When I was fully exposed to him he leaned back for a moment of admiration before he, too, slowly removed his shirt, exposing his perfect body. He then slipped away his pants before hovering over me, sparing a gentle smile.
"After I've claimed you as my wife, you will be mine and only mine."
I blushed and gave a nod. My breathing had become shallow in anticipation and my heart picked up in rythm.
Itachi's eyes narrowed slightly before he leaned in to murmur in my ear. "I want to hear you say it."
I took in a shaken breath. "I'm yours, and only yours, Itachi-sama." A gasp escaped me as his teeth gently took in the soft skin of my neck and slowly pressed himself downward. The feeling of him entering me was unlike any time before. I was struggling with adapting to his size and a soft moan left my lips as he sucked on the skin in his teeth and pressed himself further.
"Ahh...!"
Itachi grinned against my neck and slowly released it before kissing the spot. He then began to move himself, slowly allowing me to adjust to him before the pleasure of him being inside me started to take hold. He pushed himself up to watch the transition and I loved it. I moved with him to amplify the feeling and found myself craving for more. The slow, gentle pace was becoming unbearable and I felt myself loosing control. My leg wrapped around his hip and managed to switch our positions so that I was on top, straddling my new husband. If he wanted to be nice and gentle he would have to wait for me to be one with Angel again. It was cute and I loved making sweet love to him, however as I am now I needed my man to take control or I'd do it for him. Itachi peered up at me with widened eyes. My eyelids drooped seductively as a small smile played across my lips.
...
Itachi realized now that he had always blamed the demon for her naughty tendencies. The truth was the demon had almost nothing to do with it. It was really her the entire time, though quite possibly the demon amplified this side of her. It was interesting...to say the least... and he looked forward to testing out his theories without the concern of having to control her.
A groan escaped him as she took him inside her again. The feeling alone was euphoric and a small gasp escaped her, intensifying the feeling. She rolled her hips, slowly feeling himself penetrating further and further into her core. He tilted his head back and closed his eyes. He would allow her to have her way, for now. As her pace hastened, Itachi was finding it more difficult to keep himself from expressing the pleasure she gave him.
He peered from half closed eyes and found her smirking as she continued, never losing the speed her hips were grinding on him. She leaned down to murmur in his ear. "Are you keeping yourself from me...Itachi-sama...?"
His breath released as he took hold of her hips. It was amusing for her to turn the tables on him in such a way. She may be on top, however he could regain control of their love making all the same. At first he matched her pace, then without warning, thrusted his hips upwards so hard it made her gasp for air. He continued to do this until he pried enough alluring sounds from her to satisfy him...for now. When he slowed his pace again and their eyes met, he smirked.
"I'll remind you...to not look down on me...again."
As she caught her breath she grinned at him. "Or what?" Her voice was coated in sexual allure.
His eyes narrowed at this. She clearly wouldn't heed his warning and instead took it as a challenge. He took her wrists and pulled her forward, towards the pillows and flipped around her before pinning her down. He entered her from behind and smirked as she gasped in surprise. He didn't hesitate to thrust himself to and from her and her rythmatic sounds matched every move he made. It was exhilarating and it caused him to crave more from her.
Her sexy muffled voice came from the pillows as he continued. "Ah...yes...!"
It appeared that this is exactly what she had wanted. He gripped her hips to prepare to give her everything he had. He thrusted harder and deeper, observing her hands grip the sheets so that he could gauge her limits. He had found her spot and quickened his pace. If her face hadn't been buried into a pillow, the entire village would have heard her scream in pleasure. It drove him to pull out and flip her around. He wanted to see her face as he pleasured her and brought her legs up to rest on his shoulders before penetrating her again. He felt them shaking against him as his dark angel drew nearer to her climax.
"Itachi-sama...!" She gasped as he pushed himself to the breaking point. Her flexibility was unmatched as he leaned down with her legs still on his shoulders and he bit down on her neck where she liked it.
"Aahhh!"
She cried out to him as he filled her with his seed, slowing his pace and feeling her orgasm against him. When he had finished he gently removed his teeth from her soft skin and laid her legs on either side before returning to lovingly kissing her soft lips. He didn't want to pull out just yet and by the way she wrapped her legs around his waist she wanted to keep him for just a while longer as well. He pulled back to gaze into those gorgeous eyes. He had claimed her for himself and nothing brought him more pleasure than that. She peered up at him, still slowing her breath and gave him the most beautiful smile he had ever witnessed from her.
"I love you...Itachi-sama..."
Itachi returned the smile to his sexy goddess. From this point on he would give her as much as she could possibly want or need. He realized that she was everything to him and had been for a long time. The best part is, she was finally his...all his... and nothing could take that away from him. At least he thought before he suddenly drew himself upwards to cough into his arm several times and gasping for air...
