Chapter II: Argument
By Yullia
Tomoe opened her eyes slowly, trying to remember last night. She smiled. 'Finally...I was starting to think I would never see him again'. Looking at Itachi once more, she slowly got up, careful not to awake him. Of course, she failed.
"Where are you going?" Tomoe was startled by his voice, but regained her composure. "I'm going to the bathroom"
"All right"
Tomoe pecked him on the lips and closed the bathroom's door before he got there. Looking at her reflection, she tried to smooth her hair without results. She searched inside Itachi's drawers and found a brush. Smiling to herself, she proceed to the task in hand: Make herself presentable.
"Itachi-kun" Said Tomoe, while brushing her hair "Why did that man sent those shinobis after me?"
"I'll tell you after you finish"
"Mou...Always making me wait..."
After a few minutes, Tomoe came out to find Itachi laying on the bed with his arms behind his head.
"So?" She asked, sitting by his side.
"What does the blue sharingan does?" He asked, looking at her.
"I saw that coming...It's the same as the red one with one difference. It can foresee when someone's going to use the sharingan"
"So that's how you discovered I was going to use my?"
"No. I know you too well, no need to use the sharingan" She answered, playing with her bangs "Now, answer my question"
"Orochimaru sent those men after you because he wants to use your spirituals powers to break the Nine-Tails Seal."
"Nine-Tails?" Tomoe sat up, looking at him "Have you met the boy before?"
"Yes...He's Sasuke's friend"
"You met Sasuke?"
Itachi looked at her for a moment "Yes, I did. He's very different now..."
"No wonder why...Anyway, I have to go back to the village" She said, getting up.
"No, you don't" Itachi caught her wrist, pulling her back down with him "It's too soon, nobody will be after you at this time"
Tomoe smiled "Aya will".
Itachi looked at her "Who's Aya?".
"My eleven years old cousin. She must be waiting for me by now."
Itachi mumbled something under his breath.
"What was that?" Asked Tomoe with a raised eyebrow.
"Nothing...Nothing at all."
"Yeah, right...Well, I'm leaving."
"Wait" Itachi said, grabbing her wrist once more "Where's your house?"
"I live on the shrine at the back of the village. I doubt you will stay any longer in this house. When are the true owners coming back?"
Itachi shrugged "I don't know. Orochimaru took care of that."
Tomoe shook her head "I'm leaving then" She headed for the door, careful not to let any of her body parts at Itachi's reach.
"I'll pay you a visit." He said.
"Can't wait."
# The Shrine #
"Where were you?" A girl with wavy, black hair and honey-colored eyes asked Tomoe as soon as she stepped inside the shrine.
"Good Morning, Aya-chan. I was visiting a old friend of mine." Tomoe patted the girl on the head. Aya pouted and followed her inside the small house next to the shrine.
"Why is your kimono ripped?" She asked, looking at her older cousin kimono.
"Oh, that. I was walking in the woods and it got stuck on a branch of some tree. I didn't noticed and kept walking and it ripped."
"Oh, okay then. Hey, you promised me you would teach me the Kage Bunshin no Jutsu today!"
Tomoe looked at her "Aya-chan, don't say this out loud. I shouldn't be teaching you this jutsu. You know it's a forbidden one and I really don't want to get into trouble."
Aya smiled a little "Okay, okay...So, you will teach me, right?"
Tomoe sighed "Yeah, Aya. Just let me put some clothes, okay?"
"'Kay! I'll be waiting for you outside!" She waved while closing the door.
Tomoe shook her head, getting inside her room and changing to her ninja outfit 'So full or energy...I wonder if she knows...Better not even think about it...' She smiled. Itachi-kun and that Orochimaru-freak knew so little, she would have lots of fun with them.
Stepping out of the house, Tomoe breathed deeply. Such a beautiful day...
"Tomoe-chan, are you ready?"
"Yes, Aya...Let's start the lesson."
Tomoe watched as Aya performed the Kage Bunshin no Jutsu several hours later. Her little cousin was a great ninja and she wondered how she managed to teach her so much. Tomoe didn't sent Aya to the Ninja Academy. She thought that Aya would have more friends if she was home-schooled. And it was true.
"Kage Bunshin no Jutsu!"
Ten clones appeared and Tomoe smiled, patting each of them in the head.
"Well, that's enough for today. You mastered it, congratulations!"
"Thanks, Tomoe-chan! Can I go play now with Haruna-chan?"
"Sure. Go take a bath first. You're all sweaty."
Aya pouted and ran to the house, leaving Tomoe.
"So, that's Aya?"
Tomoe turned and smiled at Itachi, who was sitting on a tree.
"Yeah. Isn't she lovely?"
Itachi jumped down and looked at the direction Aya ran.
"She looks a little like you."
"Really? I think she's so different. Her hair's wavy and..."
Itachi sighed "I'm not talking physically. Her personality remembers yours."
"Oh, okay. She really is very hard-working. Wants to learn a new jutsu everyday."
"I see...She learnt one today, you think she will need you later?"
Tomoe looked at his serious expression "No. Why do you ask?"
"No reason." He answered, looking around "Aren't you inviting me in?"
Tomoe raised one eyebrow at him "You're acting strange. You're talking a lot and asking me to invite you in. What's up?"
"Nothing."
"Ah, back to the one-word answer. Are you hungry?"
It was Itachi's turn to raise an eyebrow "A little."
Tomoe smiled "Then I'll do something for you. C'mon."
Grabbing his hand, Tomoe dragged him to her house. They have made it to the door when Aya ran past them, coming back in a blink of an eye.
"Tomoe-chan, who's him?"
"Ah, Aya-chan. That's Itachi-kun. Itachi-kun, that's Aya."
"Oh! Hi, Itachi!"
Itachi looked at Tomoe before answering "Hi, Aya."
Aya looked at theirs hands before giggling and waving at them, running to meet her friends.
Tomoe shook her head and opened the door. They entered the living room and Itachi made himself comfortable, examining the room.
"Itachi, what do you want to eat?"
"Anything."
"I can do that."
Half an hour, they were eating quietly. Itachi would look at Tomoe sometimes, and she was wondering what was bothering him.
"Okay...Itachi, what's the matter?"
Itachi looked at her "I need you to help us break the seal."
Tomoe rubbed her forehead "Why?"
"Because of your spirituals..."
"No, Itachi. Why do you want to break the seal?"
Itachi frowned "That's none of your concerns"
Tomoe was getting angry "Oh, but it is. What's wrong with you, Itachi? Why won't you talk to me?"
Itachi clenched his fists. Why she have to stuck her nose in everything? "There's nothing wrong with me, Tomoe. Will you help me or not?"
Tomoe looked at him. He certainly had changed since the last time she met him 'No wonder...But he's getting angry, and that can't be good.'
"I...I have to think."
Itachi turned, heading for the door.
"I will give you two days."
Tomoe frowned when the door closed behind him 'Stubborn Itachi...Locking himself away from everyone, being so cold...What have you done to yourself?'
Tomoe started to clean the dishes, thinking to herself 'He was acting so calm yesterday...When I first saw him I didn't recognized him, he wasn't showing any kind of emotion...Why did he got so angry today? That's not like him...'
She washed her hands, heading for the bathroom 'And now I have to think in something. At least he was generous and gave me two days...' She pouted as she got inside the shower.
'Mou, why did I had to argue with him? Should have kept my mouth shut...I have to go slow on him. Yeah...Slow, very slow...'
Tomoe bit her bottom lip 'Think...What I will do now?'

Yullia: Oooh! What is it that Tomoe's hiding?
Tomoe: You should know, you're the one writing this...
Yullia: *shoots Tomoe a death glare* Quiet, little girl! You were lucky I didn't write you two kissing!
Tomoe: I pecked him! On the LIPS!
Yullia: *blinks* Tomoe, nothing against it, but are you lesbian?
Tomoe: *blinks back* No.
Yullia: Then, why are you reacting like this?
Tomoe: I don't like to touch people. Or be touched.
Yullia: Oh, okay then. Oh, 'Mou' is used to express annoyance. Please, review and tell me how I can improve my writing! Bye!
