Sorry about the late chapter! But just for you, I have two chapters! So even though this one is late, you'll still get your daily amount of chapters. And xXNarutoGurlXx is writing another fanfiction. It's the prequel to this and the sequel to her other fiction. And I hope you don't mind me continuing the story from third person. It just works better that way.
I own the characters you do not know. Aiko belongs to xXNarutoGurlXx.
oooooooooo
"What a weird name." Aiko scoffed. "So, do who have any idea where he is right now?"
Itachi shook his head. "I know what he looks like. So if I was to see him, I would know."
"Oh." Aiko looked outside, to the darkness that seemed to shroud the town.
oooooooooo
"Minori, how are-" yet with a loud crack, Sasuke was staring to the side, stunned at being slapped by his old friend.
"How dare you!" She hissed at him, obviously angered. "You think that after all these years you can just waltz up and think everything will be fine?" Sasuke turned his head back to Minori, who then grabbed his collar and raised Sasuke from the ground a bit. "Well, you have another thing coming!"
"You know you could never beat me." Sasuke said, and Minori dropped him, only to burrow her face into his chest.
"We all miss you, Sasuke. Why did you leave us? You were strong enough, and still are." She asked, removing her face from his shirt, and looked up at him.
"To escape the fan girls." Sasuke smirked, and Minori laughed. "It's good to see you again, Sasuke."
oooooooooo
"A fairly good-looking waitress set down the food, and walked back to the kitchen. Aiko started to eat her Soboro.
"Why don't we just go to the mizukage's house?" Aiko suggested. "He does live with his dad, right?" Itachi shook his head. "His father wanted to make sure his son wouldn't be open for attacks. So, he put Kai into a place where no one could find him. And I don't know where that is."
Aiko knitted her eyebrows, thinking of other options. "Maybe Minori already met him. Who knows?" Aiko chuckled. "With how social she is, if they met then they'd be dating by tomorrow." She sighed. 'I wish I had people skills like Minori. Then maybe I could tell Itachi-san how I feel.'
Yet unknown to Aiko, Itachi had a reason for keeping his emotions a secret. It was the reason why Aiko had died once, and he didn't want that to happen again. He had thought that by being cold to her, she'd forget about him. Yet his plan didn't go as hoped.
"That's what I'm worried about. I don't want Minori getting close to anyone." Itachi looked deep in thought.
"Don't worry, Itachi-san." Aiko assured, with a concerned look on her face. "Minori could get laid in a day, but she's careful." Aiko was fine talking about her friend, but she'd much rather change the subject. Lucky for her, she was good at that. "But what about you? Can we trust YOU?"
Itachi smirked and chuckled. "Yes, you can. I'm taken, though."
Aiko felt as though someone had told her that the world was ending. Itachi... Taken? By who?
"Who is it?" Aiko asked in a distressed voice. Itachi looked away, and is Aiko was not mistaken, blushing. "It's Minori, isn't it?" Aiko stood up abruptly, causing her chair to skid and multiple people to stare. "Well... Fine then!" Aiko whirled around, and stormed out of the restaurant, leaving Itachi both stunned and with the bill.
oooooooooo
"This is where I used to live." Minori pointed to the house she was looking at earlier. When looked at closely, it looked more like a mansion. "Come on, I'll show you the inside." She grabbed Sasuke's hand, and dragged him inside.
Furniture was still upturned, and strange brown stains covered the floor and walls. Sasuke was very unnerved by it, and Minori was obviously trying her hardest to ignore it.
"Here's the kitchen. Minori pointed to a room with various knives scattered across the floor, rusted with age.
"What's that room?" Asked Sasuke, pointing to a room down the hall. Next to it was a door lock, that looked like it was used a lot.
Minori's eyes grew wide, and she began to shiver. "Please... Don't make me go in there." Obviously haunting and melancholy memories surrounded that room.
Sasuke continued to stare at the room, until he noticed how afraid Minori was. "Come on, Minori. Can you show me your room?"
Minori nodded, as if in a trance. "Yes... I can. I'm a good girl... A very good girl." She turned around, and headed down the opposite hall. After multiple twists and turns, she stopped in front of a door. It wasn't anything special. When she opened the door, a spider skittered across the floor. Minori paid no attention to it. She walked inside, and immediately went to a dresser.
"I was a good girl." She began to put on jewelry, and Sasuke watched her. "But not always. When I was, daddy gave me nice things." She went to a sliding wall and opened it, to show it was a closet. She pulled out a black kimono, with roses imprinted on the right side. "This was the kimono I wore to the last birthday I had in this house. It's a bit big, though."
"And I'm sure you looked beautiful in it." It seemed like that comment was enough to snap Minori out of her trance like state. She blushed a deep shade of red, yet covered it up with the kimono.
"Thank you..." Minori hid her face in the closet, as she put the kimono back.
So both Aiko AND Minori were having trouble in their love life.
oooooooooo
So, how did you like the chapter? And when Minori hugged Sasuke, it wasn't a loving hug. Whenever Minori is happy, or feels like she needs to comfort someone, she hugs them.
Remember to review!
