Clumsy
Don't Touch
The feeling of being stalked was something unpleasant everyone and anyone would want to avoid. It was an unwanted thing no matter who faced it.
For Itachi, it was something that had recently became an annoying problem. In his younger years he had faced groups of girls calling to him and admiring him from afar. He had thought that was a big problem, but he was wrong. Being stalked by an ex-girlfriend was worse than that.
His ex-girlfriend wasn't just affecting him, but his job as well as his coworkers.
The disturbing sight was in his office, spread over his desk, and very naked in the form of a shameless Takada Ayu. It was a shocking and scary sight to come to work to find, especially since even he couldn't fathom how she got in there.
"What are you doing here?" he asked as he shook himself out of his initial shock.
Ayu pouted, trying to act cute while batting her eyelashes at him.
"I just wanted to make sure that you had a nice day," she moved to sit up, spreading her legs enough to show the fold of her womanhood. The coy look on her face clear that she knew exactly what she was doing, "And what better way to make sure that you have a nice day than providing you with release," she offered, her body in a seductive stretch and bounce of her breasts.
She didn't care that Itachi was not the only one looking inside of the office.
She didn't care if anyone else knew what could happen here in a few minutes.
She just wanted.
Itachi took a step back. He wanted to leave, but he couldn't do that when this issue pertained to him. He had to find a way to take care of it. This already could be considered a form of sexual harassment and he could easily have her arrested.
"I'm perfectly fine, I don't need you doing unnecessary things," he calmly said as he made a call. He was already making plans on how he was going to have to replace his desk and have the office disinfected. Not that he was particular about it, but seriously, who'd want to be touched by someone that they weren't attracted to.
Especially one that didn't know how to take 'no' as an answer.
Ayu was miffed, upset that Itachi wasn't coming in and closing the door. Why wasn't he falling over himself to want to protect her from other gazing eyes?
She wanted him to claim her and fall in love with her all over again.
"I know your boyfriend doesn't pleasure you," she stated with a hard purse of her lips. "I can give you the best pleasure that you've ever experience, so why do you come and join me," she licked her lips as she stood and attempted to walk sexily towards him, but the heels on her feet were something she was obviously not used to. The too big heels made her stumble and she nearly tripped a few times, until she stopped moving altogether and posed instead. "Come over here and I will show you what real pleasure is,"
"No thank you," Itachi responded, turning away from her as his call was answered. "Hello, this is Uchiha from floor five, I have a woman trespassing in my office, can I please have someone escort her out of here?" Itachi politely said over the line to the security of their office. When he got conformation, he thanked the person and hung the phone.
Ayu gritted her teeth, "Itachi, come here and close the door."
"No, I need you to put something else to cover yourself, security will be here soon."
She huffed, "Itachi, look at me, are you sure you don't want a taste of all this!" she offered, caressing her hands down her body. She was annoyed when she noted that Itachi wasn't looking at her and was instead talking to someone else.
"It's just Tobi's girlfriend," Itachi said when Kisame came to see what all the excitement was about. He peeked inside and let out a whistle.
"Dude, no way," Kisame gapped.
"I need the desk burned, how do I do that?" Itachi asked.
"You'll have to ask the big boss. I'm sure that they will be sympathetic to your situation. After all Pain is the one that sent you to get his son for him," Kisame laughed, unable to believe the situation that Itachi had unwittingly invited.
Ayu stomped her foot down several times in frustration because she was getting nothing that she wanted. Itachi moved to step out of the office, and closed the door behind him, making her gasp and try to rush towards him, but ended up falling on her face.
The damn heels were just too big for her.
Frustrated, she moved to unhook them and chucked them across the room with a frustrated scream leaving her.
"What does he have that I don't!" she roared demandingly. Hatred growing heatedly in her chest for Itachi's boyfriend, what she wouldn't give to make his life miserable. She was so much better than him.
What did Itachi even like from that scrawny little brat!
By the time security got there, she had locked the door and refused to open it. She kept making outrageous claims, along with threatening to harm herself. It made even the security wonder if they should keep trying to get to her. In the end the A-key to the building was brought along with professional officers.
Ayu was successfully escorted out of the building, and driven away to her home.
That was when Pein made his way to Itachi's office, having heard some of the commotion but not knowing what was going on.
"Itachi, what's going on?" Pein asked as he came and found Itachi, several other workers, and security standing outside the office. Everyone looked like they rather be anywhere else but there. Some of them even dashed away, looking like they were scared of him.
As they should be, seeing as he was their boss.
"There was a naked woman on Mr. Uchiha's desk," the main receptionist spoke up, looking scandalized, "She claimed to be his girlfriend that came to see him, and charged into his office all on her own. She was saying that Itachi was cheating on her and that she was going to confront him, and next thing you know, she was getting naked and climbing onto his desk. I tried to get her out before Mr. Uchiha came, but she just wouldn't budge,"
Kisame was about to crack a joke, when he saw the disturbed looks on everyone's faces. It had been the entire floor that had seen that woman naked and they were all shocked that they had come to work to see that. It was then that it hit Kisame on how serious the situation was.
Pein himself had a hard look on his face.
Itachi had already apologized plenty of times, but his co-workers were having none of it. They knew Itachi was a proper hard worker, so they knew this was not his fault. There was just something wrong with that woman, for sure. But as long as she remained there, they couldn't really take the apology. If anything, she should be the one to apologize for doing something like that.
"I see, I will make sure that she is reported in the list of people not allowed in here. I will make sure this doesn't happen again," Pein assured his workers.
"Have you heard from Tobi?" Itachi asked, "I was afraid that she might hurt him. He believed so deeply that the two of them were meant to be,"
"No, I know that Tobi had a thing for her but for now he has stayed focus on his studies. I believe he suspects something, but he has not mentioned her in the slightest," Pein sighed. He had heard the story, and at first Tobi had claimed that he planned to marry her because he loved her, but recently not a peep about her had left his son.
Tobi must have realized by now that he lost her.
"She's probably already broken the engagement just to come after you Itachi," Kisame voiced.
Itachi frowned, not happy at all.
Pein himself was frowning, looking completely disgusted with the turn of events. There was no way that he would allow his son to marry that woman, ever.
"Alright, now that this is over let's get back to work," Pein dictated. Everyone scrambled to go back to their job. Pein offered Itachi the rest of the day off along with promise to clean out his desk. For the mean time he could choose to do his work outside of the office.
Itachi took the offer.
"I wish they could have truly arrested her." Kisame said as he followed after Itachi. The morning was over and it was time for Lunch. Itachi was going out to meet Sasuke for another job excursion based on Orochimaru's wedding planning. When Itachi mentioned it to Kisame, the man had asked to tag along because Suigetsu would be there.
"We could have, if she had been truly a danger, but the worse that could happen to her is just to hold her and tell her not to come back." Itachi sighed, exhausted with the day's events so far. Itachi knew that she would be released soon and it wasn't going to be the end of seeing her.
That could cause problem for his relationship with Sasuke, something that he didn't want.
"You're a bit cursed, aren't you Itachi," Kisame said, "Having someone so obsessed with you. What did you do to the poor girl?"
Itachi gave Kisame an odd look, not knowing what he meant.
Sasuke and Kimimaro had a list of restaurants that Orochimaru wanted to take Kabuto too, but he wasn't sure which one too choose.
Orochimaru wanted Kabuto to taste only the best food, and he was not about to subject his fiancée to go from restaurant to restaurant trying to figure that out. It was up to Sasuke and Kimimaro to do that and set up which restaurant Orochimaru will take Kabuto too. They had narrowed it down to five of them, all within the same district.
It was annoying that they had to do that.
"It really should be Orochimaru that goes with Kabuto, we might not have the same taste," Kimimaro complained.
"Right, I don't understand Orochimaru at all," Sasuke said, agreeing with his friend as he read over the list of restaurants as well as the acceptable food choices that Orochimaru wanted presented to them. "He really wants it to be based on exotic meats or anything that is bird or rabbit," Sasuke murmured.
"I think his and Kabuto's diet is a little fucked up, he literally said no vegetables," Kimimaro said as he parked. "How are the chefs supposed to just create such fatty dishes?"
"They'll have no choice but do as he asks, it's their special day. They have to honor it." Sasuke sighed.
"I'm just hungry so I'm glad you guys invited me to this tasting excursion," Suigetsu grinned from the back seat. All three climbed out of the car and looked around for their boyfriends, wondering if they had made it already.
They planned to meet at the shopping plaza, where Kimimaro would leave his car parked so they could take only one car, which would be the van that Itachi usually drove for his job. It was the only thing big enough to fit their large group.
Sasuke pulled out his phone, nervously looking for any message from Itachi and was disappointed to find none.
"Juugo says that he's nearly here," Kimimaro sighed, glad that his boyfriend was on his way.
"Kisame says he and Itachi are just around the corner," Suigetsu reported. Sasuke bit his lower lip, sure that Itachi was the one driving. He was glad he wasn't texting and driving, and with that he placed his phone away.
Five minutes later all their boyfriends were there. They each greeted each other and started to go over the plan for that afternoon. Sasuke was more than happy to hear that Itachi didn't have to go back to work because it meant that they could go on a date once this task was taken care of. Although he wasn't all to happy to learn the reason why Itachi had the afternoon off.
"Is someone like her even safe?" Kimimaro asked, crossing his arms as he heard what happened as well.
"She's definitely not in her right head," Kisame said. "I suggest that she get sent to get some treatment, but what do I know,"
"There might be a way to have her committed before she does something drastic," Juugo said.
"The thing is she would have to admit she has a problem and turn herself into a help center though," Kimimaro sighed.
"There's no way she would ever admit that she's crazy," Suigetsu huffed. He was already annoyed just hearing about Ayu.
"Let's just hope that she doesn't do anything else," Itachi said, chancing a glance at his quiet boyfriend. Sasuke looked like he was deep in thought and Itachi couldn't blame him. He was sure that he was worried about this situation.
"Well for not let's forget about her and focus on what we have to do, we have quite a few restaurants to visit."
The first restaurant they went to was immediately dismissed. Not only was it small, but the place had a low rating compared to what they had seen online. They were all shocked the place was still open and running with the way the patrons all looked like burly ex-convicts, creating a blood thirsty atmosphere.
"Guess there is a place out there that fits everyone so they can go and enjoy a meal," Juugo said with a happy look on his face.
"Right, let's move on," Kimimaro muttered.
"What's the next restaurant?" Suigetsu asked, glancing at the list. "Hey! I know that place!"
The next restaurant turned out to have been shut down and it's place was now a new pizzeria. It actually looked like a great place, but not for what they were looking for.
"Why has the information on these places not been updated?" Itachi wondered as he read over the list. He had not heard of any of these restaurants but he could see the frustration Kimimaro and Sasuke were facing and wanted to help them.
"We picked this area because it's closest to the ballroom venue we chose a few days ago and it would be easier to have the food transported" Sasuke explained, "Orochimaru already went to check it out and he loved it, the part that sucks is that they don't provide catering. We have to look for a place ourselves."
"Hm," Itachi frowned and thought about what they could do.
"Let me see that," Kisame said, snatching the list away from Itachi. He read over the restaurants and glanced at Suigetsu.
"We've been around this area and none of these sound right, don't you agree?" he asked, showing his boyfriend the list. Suigetsu had not read it all before, more interested in getting his belly filled, but as he looked over it, he realized that Kisame was right.
"Yeah, most of these places have changed."
"You could have said something Suigetsu!" Kimimaro and Sasuke glared at him.
"Hey, in my defense I wasn't the one assigned to this task!" Suigetsu stuck his tongue out. Kimimaro and Sasuke continued to glare at him, annoyed with their friend.
"I know a restaurant we can try. How willing is Orochimaru to spend money?" Itachi suddenly said catching all their attention.
"There is no expense too high for him when it comes to Kabuto!" Suigetsu readily said.
With the decision made they climbed back into the van and let Itachi drive them to their new destination. The group lightly chatted with each other in the back while Itachi and Sasuke talked with each other in the front. The two raven were flirting with each other and enjoying themselves.
What soon met them was a semi luxurious restaurant.
The atmosphere was serene with dressed up couples waiting to get inside. Itachi and Kisame weaved through the crowd, leading the others to the front. Sasuke, Kimimaro, and Suigetsu looked around nervously, feeling severely underdressed for this place.
More than likely they needed a reservation as well.
Sasuke reached to grab Itachi's hand, sticking close to him. Kimimaro smiled when Juugo placed a reassuring hand on his back. Kisame simply wrapped his arm around Suigetsu's shoulders and grinned reassuringly at his boyfriend.
Once at the front, Itachi said a few words to the host at the front. The person turned the reservation list around and smiled when she spotted the names given to her. These were VIP guest that were to be welcomed and seated right away, in the always reserved seats. She quickly called for them to be seated, and allowed her boss to know who had come to join them that afternoon.
Head chef and owner of the restaurant, Juzo Biwa came to greet them once they had been seated.
"I didn't expect any of you here today, usually I receive a curtesy call,"
"Sorry, it was last minute to be honest. We are searching for a catering service to a wedding." Itachi said, giving the man a challenging smirk.
Juzo returned the smirk, "My Uchiha, are you getting married and didn't tell me?"
"Not myself, not yet," Itachi said while Sasuke was blushing up a storm. "The wedding is actually for the famous Orochimaru,"
Juzo let out a low whistle, amazed. He never thought that a man like that would be looking for a catering service, much less that Itachi was helping with such a thing.
"Since when do you work for Orochimaru," Juzo asked, a bit miffed to only be hearing this.
"I don't. My boyfriend does, and I'm helping him out," Itachi said, and gestured to Sasuke who was opening and closing his mouth in pure disbelief. When Juzo turned his eyes to him, Sasuke scooted closer to Itachi, trying to melt into his side.
"I-I-I'm Itachi's boyfriend, he-hello" Sasuke managed to stutter out.
Juzo blinked, surprised by the boy sitting so close to Itachi, his hand tightly fisted to the hem of Itachi's shirt. He snorted, trying his best not to laugh.
"Cute," Juzo said and then nodded. "Alright, what is the dishes that you wish to have for the catering. We offer a variety of things," Juzo listed off their specialties and after hearing them, Kimimaro and Sasuke were able to give him an idea for the types of dishes they were looking for.
They were directed into a booth inside of the kitchen where the dishes were freshly created for them to try. The group then debated and had a few ideas of changes they thought could be added. Itachi, Kisame, and Juugo were enjoying a desert when Sasuke, Kimimaro, and Suigetsu made the final decisions and reservations for Orochimaru and Kabuto.
"I don't think that I would ever want to work for a man like Orochimaru," Kisame said as he licked his lips from the ice cream he was consuming.
"You mean because he has a lot of his planning done by his employees?" Itachi asked.
"Yeah," Kisame nodded.
"I agree, Kimimaro and Sasuke are both smart and could be doing something a lot more productive." Juugo said but then sighed, "Of course, they only stay because they get paid well."
"That's all life is, isn't it. Getting paid well enough to enjoy it."
"It is rare to find that, not many get lucky to do so," Itachi agreed as well.
"We're ready to go!"
Itachi thanked Juzo for all of his assistance on his way out. Juzo simply said that he looked forward to when he would decide to marry that boy and he wanted to be invited to the wedding. He'd gladly cater for them as well. Itachi gave him a hard look, but Juzo simply grinned, as if there was something that he knew that Itachi didn't.
From there, he drove them back to the plaza were he dropped Kimimaro and Juugo off. Itachi returned back to work to drop off Kisame and Suigetsu. The two were planning to leave together in Kisame's car and spend the rest of the day together.
Finally it was just the two of them.
"So, where would you like to go?" Itachi asked as he turned to Sasuke. Sasuke shrugged.
"I don't know, you decide." He said. There wasn't a place in particular that he cared to go, so long as he got to spend his day with Itachi. Itachi got a thoughtful look on his face and leaned in to whisper in Sasuke's ear.
"How about the beach?"
Sasuke blushed. He nodded his head, wondering what Itachi was planning. He'd never been to the beach, and wasn't sure what to expect. He was surprised to see that the beach front was lively, with a large deck full of food stands, games, and rides.
Sasuke greatly enjoyed himself, especially when he got to kiss Itachi while in the middle of the low waves, while the sun set behind them. His mouth had been salty from the water they had splashed each other with, and yet, it had been the sweetest most breathtaking one so far.
His heart beat so fast, hard enough to want to break out of his rib cage, his skin had singed wherever Itachi touched him.
He could nearly give himself up.
A week later, Sasuke had come home to work on a few projects when he heard a knock at his door. He was expecting Itachi so he excitedly opened the door. They were planning on spending the evening in doors, cooking and watching television before going to bed but whom greeted him had Sasuke's smile dropping and a glare taking over his face.
It wasn't Itachi.
It was Ayu.
She was dressed in a simple yellow summer dress, her hair messy and flowing around her. She looked like she had been crying, but she was holding up a stubborn front. Her feet were bare, and her shoes were kicked to the side, like she had just taken them off.
At this point, she had already learned where Itachi's boyfriend lived, but she still didn't know his name. The next step was coming up with a plan on how to approach him. Her goal was to make him dump Itachi. It was hard to find him at home though.
The boy was consecutively busy with making sure that his boss, Orochimaru's wedding plans were going accordingly. He was always hanging out with Kimimaro, or as Ayu knew him, the white haired male she was sure Sasuke was cheating with. For a moment she thought that maybe she could catch them doing something inappropriate and give the picture to Itachi, proving to him that his boyfriend was a cheater and not worthy of him.
Of course, that chance never came as they never did anything that could be considered inappropriate. They were always out in public testing wedding things, but never once did it look wrong.
Nor like they were a couple for that matter.
It made no sense.
That was when a sudden thought entered her mind. She was wondering if maybe those two were going behind their boyfriends back and planning a wedding for themselves. That would make sense as they went to try everything out themselves. Of course, that thought was quickly shot when later in the night, the two would return to the places they had been and would show up with an older looking couple.
The couple was strange, specially the male with golden snake eyes, and long black hair. He would be so courteous to his partner and everything was properly set out for them so they didn't have to go through the hassle that Itachi's boyfriend and the white haired male had gone through earlier.
Then how was she going to get to that boy?
The only other thing that she could do to such an innocent boy, who apparently was loyal to the end was threaten him.
It was night and she had watched him come home late, but in good spirits. She watched as he parked his car and looked through his phone, looking so sickingly happy about something. It only served to anger her she watched him get off his car and head into his apartment. When she had finally gotten the guts to walk up and knock at his door, she was rudely greeted.
"What are you doing here?" the boy asked, looking at her like she was the most despicable thing in the world.
Well news flash that is how she saw him too!
The girl looked like she was about ready to cry again, but when Sasuke stared at her hard, she knew she was not going to get him to apologize for the misery he placed her in and give Itachi back to her. Instead, she decided to play the plan she had come up with.
"I'm sorry, I just thought I'd come here and see who my boyfriend was meeting with all the time. I see you're a guy, maybe it wasn't what I thought it was," she said, sniffing, and pretending to cheer up.
Sasuke looked at her oddly, "Your boyfriend? Why would your boyfriend come here? I don't think I've ever let anyone in my house other than my friends and my boyfriend,"
"Oh my, you're gay," she gasped, looking mock shocked, "Maybe…maybe," she looked around, pretending to panic. Sasuke felt frustrated with all her over exaggerated acting.
"Can you leave so I can get back to work," he finally said.
The girl gasped and glared at him.
"You man stealer!" she hissed, "Who do you think you are, as if you can steal my boyfriend." She snapped. "I saw him come in here, and I know that he has been coming to see you now, I want you to stay away from him!"
Sasuke glowered, "I don't know your boyfriend, why don't you just leave me alone and go kick his ass, he's the one cheating on you not me,"
"No, it's your fault that he's cheating on me!" She cried, "You've made him want you!" she loudly screamed.
Sasuke scowled, "I don't know what you are talking about, just get out of here," Sasuke wanted to scream, but he was trying so hard to keep his cool composure, "Who the hell is your boyfriend anyways,"
"Ha, as if you don't know, it's Uchiha Itachi!" she said as a matter of fact. Sasuke's eye twitched.
"Liar, Itachi is my boyfriend," Sasuke confidently said although mix with that was a bit of possessiveness. He didn't like that she thought she could claim Itachi as hers.
That was when she pulled out a knife, pointing it at him. Sasuke tensed, looking from the sharp blade to her crazed eyes. Ayu was at her ends wit and didn't know what else she could do, other than get rid of the obstacle that stood in her way from being with Itachi.
This boy had to die!
"Leave Itachi or I will fucking kill you!"
