Chapitre 3 : The sentence I had to write for you

Imachi's hands were shaking . Someone from Akatsuki knew that Deidara had poisoned her. Her stomach felt suddenly sick and she started trembling.

'I can't pass out HERE ! They'll kill me !'

The poison was taking its effect on her and she held her ribs and started to drag herself towards the door. Her vision started to blur and she rubbed her eyes ,trying to clear her vision. Her legs felt like they were made of lead and she started to pour tears out of her eyes. She cursed that she ever left her room . With her last powers she heard someone walking in the corridors and she cried before the last punch of pain shooted over her . Then was just black.

Itachi was furious. Deidara being a fool ,had understood his purposes totally wrong and had gone somewhere . His Sharingan was activated and he was walking inhumanly fast through the corridors . He had already seen Imachi in her current condition ,without any food and she had no chakra with that band. All his plans would be ruined if Deidara had managed to poison her. He finally got to the corridor where his room was ,as well as there was Imachi's "cell." He opened her rooms' door ,but there was no-one . His veins started to boil and he was already in the midway of the corridor ,when he heard a loud cry from his left. He shot towards the sound and was a bit surprised that the sound came from his room. But when he thoguht further ,it wouldn't be so odd ,if she would be gone there. She must have wanted to see outside. Actually ,his plans included that if he would have got there before Deidara ,he would have transferred her to a room where were windows. He opened the door with a quick move and in the middle of the room ,he saw a laying figure . But from what he had heard ,he knew it was her. He cursed in his mind and came up with a quick plan . He opened the window so that she would get fresh air. Then he picked her up and laid her on bed. Then he wiped her forehead and left the room. But then he noticed the scroll left open. He smirked . So ,she had seen that ?

He picked it up and wrote : "This is just a sentence I had to write for you ..." Then he closed the scroll and hid it under his cloak. Then he stood in the doorframe ,his mind pondering how he can dispose the poison from her body. As fast as she would wake up ,he would send someone to give her antidote or instead he would kill Deidara. She had ruined Itachi's plan ,so she had worked against Akatsuki's methods. She had risked other's mission on purpose . And he was going to discuss about the matters with Imachi . There was no way she could go out as long as there were a risk that somebody from the pursuers would sense her ,but she could at least know where to find food and where she was allowed to go and where not to. He took the one last glimpse of her before leaving the room ,leaving the corridor to the main room to discuss about Deidara's bad habit to do things with bad information . Her face seemed sort of different when he had lifted her up to the bed . It seemed so peaceful and smiling . Unlike that sweaty and painful face she had when she passed out. Itachi sighed deep and thought : 'Stupig girl ... Getting all excited ...'

She opened her eyes a little and realized it was dark. She shot up and got flustered ,but for rising up too fast ,she felt dizzy and cursed . She was still in the same room she had sneaked . It seemed at first that no-one had noticed her . But then she noticed that the window she had closen ,was now open and the scroll she had read ,was gone. Her breath stopped and she started sweating because of fear . She din't sense anyone near ,so she left the room and headed to her own cell. She was feeling guilty and she knew that it was Itachi who had opened the window .took the scroll and carried her to bed . Now she ahd to come up with a good reason why she ahd sneaked out . She was going to say that she was starving and so she tried to find food and when she had found out that this room had a window ,she wanted to see what time it was and then the poison had took its effects. Actually ,it wasn't even a lie . It was the naked ,pale truth that she wanted to see sunlight more badly than food. She sighed and removed her cloak. She should avoid warm bacause the poison may activate from temperature rising. She decided to sleep ,but her stomach refused to work with her . God ,how many days had she been without food ? Three or four ? She growled and was about to stand up from the bed ,when he heard a light knock from the door. She lifted her head and said : "Yes ?" She was slightly amused that someone bothered himself enough to knock lightly and wait for the hostage to approve. But she was surprised when she saw a little girl on the door . She stood up and stared at the girl . She was around seven years ,but her condition seemed good and she wasn't too skinny . Imachi smiled at the girl . It seemed that she could trust this little girl and she said : "What's wrong ,kiddo ?" The girl bowed deep and said : "Imachi-sama ,Itachi-sama wishes to talk to you at dinner. It will take place in thirty minutes. He sent me here if you wished to change your clothes and get cleaned up." Imachi's jaw dropped and her eyes shot wide . 'If I wish to bathe ? Of course I do ,but dinner with him? That's ... umm ... pretty polite from a man who killed his family...' She nodded and said : "I'd be glad to. I'm starving ." She stood up and the little girl showed her the way to the bathing chambers. 'I just wonder how she got here ... so young and cute. I wonder if she's orphan ...' The girl stopped in front of two grand doors and said : "Here. If and when you need something ,you have every right to ask for me ..." Imachi smiled and said : "Thank you ,little lady ." Then she entered the two doors. The bathing springs seemed very clean and it smelled like fruits. Imachi chukled a little when she thought that one of these tough terrorists bathed here and used shampoo and things like that. Just thinking about someone like Kisame bathing made her laugh. She examined the dressing room. There were lockers with keys . It seemed that the key could be bound to own foot. She eyed the lockers. Every single key was in it's place ,so she at least SHOULD be alone. She examined all these lockers and readed from the doors : Kisame , Itachi ,Sasori ,Deidara ... She secrtly sniffed their lockers and only Kisame's smelled bad ... but it was Kisame after all. Maybe he kept fish in there and now that she had eliminated him ... Then her eyes spotted something that sent her off guard . One locker was named : "Imachi" She smiled wide and opened the locker. There were shampoo ,shower gels and oils. She was getting suspicious if someone perverted had placed all those bathing supplies. There were also towels ,a hair band and a black yukata with red cloud decorations.

It seemed that if you wear a different color from black with red decorations ,you'll never fit in. She sighed and took the towels out of the locker. The she took a little basket and put the shampoo and shower gel in it and when she was sure that no-one was there ,she undressed and wrapped a towel around her and a little towel on her forehead . Then she went in to one of the springs. The water was so warm and it relaxed her numb muscles . She sighed happily and started to wash herself . Starting from the hair ,she scrubbed all the dirt and hummed a little song . Then she washed the shampoo off . She felt refreshed now .

After she had washed herself ,she released her hair . It was wavy after she had washed it and then immedialetly tied it. She smiled to the mirror and watched a tthe clock. She had ten minutes time ,so she decided to be accurate and she quickly fetched her clothes. She saw that her old clothes were took off and instead there were a black dress with red cloud decorations. She seriously started to grow tired of those clouds ,but she had no other choice.

Quickly changing her clothes ,she came out from the bath . The same little girl that had fetched her was there once again. Imachi smiled and said : "Arigatou . The bath made really wonders ." Once again this little girl started to speak with her formal tone : "Now ,if you feel refreshed and ready to dine ,we shouldn't let master Itachi wait." She started to walk and Imachi followed. She felt so happy a moment before ,but now that she had to face her kidnapper ,she felt the same old depressed feeling come back. But she wasn't going to show her weakness in front of him. Instead she wanted to at least act strong and thank him for the room and the bath locker. They came in front of huge mahogany doors with stunnig carving . She gasped in surprise and for a little while she thought that there would be a huge ball in honour for her ,but she came quickly back to reality . That little girl opened the doors ,bowing : "Itachi-sama ,Sasori-sama ... Imachi-sama has arrived." Then she pulled back and let Imachi in. The room was huge and beautiful. The walls were decorated with black and bloodred silk and the floor was a red carpet. A huge chandelier hung from the ceiling ,which gave all the light to the room. She gasped when she saw the size of the table. It was the same as the doors. Dark browm mahogany with carvings. Chairs were also mahogany and the seats were covered with wine red satin. Now she understood why she was to wear this dress . She bowed deep ,as it was used to , and Itachi stood up. He offered her a seat and when she sat down ,she saw how stunnig he looked when he was wearing his formal kimono. Suddenly ,he took little of her hair and sniffed it gently. Then he said with a mysterious tone : "Did you enjoy the baths ?" She pulled her face a smile and answered politely : "Yes I did. Arigatou gozaimasu." She was shivering of excitement. Never she had been into this formal atmosphere on dinner or neither she had never been like that with a dangerous S-ranked criminal. Mentally ,she was freaked out because Itachi came so close. It was unexceptably close .

If it would have been someone else ,she wouldn't say it was unpleasant . But she didn't let a single sweat pearl drop. She kept herself calm and when Itachi had sat down ,the other guy ,who was probably Sasori , motioned to one of the servants . The little boy servant walked outside and soon ,a whole bunch of servants came out from the door ,each of them holding trays or cans . Imachi's eyes widened at the amount of the food and she asked Sasori as polite as she could : "Excuse me ,Sasori-san , but why there's so great amount of food for such a small amount of eating people?"

Sasori hadn't even looked at her before this and when he did ,he was quite suprised at the beauty of her and he pulled his face to a sly smile . The he said in a sexy tone : "I thought that you would be impressed how much appetizé we would have ... " Imachi didn't quite get his purpose ,so she smiled and said : "Well ,I AM impressed . Arigatou ,Itachi-sama ,Sasori-sama." Sasori frowned a little when she mentioned Itachi . 'Why is it always Itachi who gets all the womens attention ?' The servants placed the trays in front of them and revealed any kind of delicious meals like greek salad , foie gras , different kinds of cheese and wine , nectars ,fruits , pork ,lamb ,chicken ,duck ... Imachi's nose catched every single scent of food and she closed her eyes at the lovely scent . Sasori eyed her behind his wineglass and smirked. If she was going to stay ,she should make them a favour too. A great favour.

Itachi had noticed Sasori's gazes sent to Imachi and his anger grew more and more. If Sasori would freak her out ,it would slow the process to retire her memories and she would refuse of "the mission" so Akatsuki would have every right to kill her since she would become useless as fast as she would refuse to help them unwillingly. And he couldn't completely deny that the feeling of being jealous wouldn't have crossed his mind. He cleared his throat and narrowed his eyes only a little bit at Sasori ,who seemed to spot his warning not to create anything in his mind. Then Itachi started with his usual cold tone :

"Well ,Imachi . My servant must have told you that we're going to discuss about the matters for you to stay here until our mission is complete. " He said ,linking his fingers and staring straight to Imachi's eyes. She gazed him back and nodded : "Yes." Itachi was silent for a moment and then said : "Let's start with the rules of your staying ... " She still stared at Itachi's eyes and he continued : "As gentlemens ,we promise that we're not entering your room without your approval. And the same is for you . You do NOT enter rooms with doors closed ,if you get my point. " She nodded again and said : "Understood." Itachi was secretly glad that she wasn't going to argue about the matters and said : "If you want to bathe ,use it whenever you want and if you want to eat ,there's four times in a day when we're eating. In 7 AM , 11 Am ,3 PM and this ,10 PM ..." Imachi tried to remember all of the hours and nodded. Sasori chukled . He was going to make sure there would be at least one moment with only him and Imachi alone. He wasn't sure of Itachi's plans and he didn't like the unusually gentle and polite tone he used on Imachi. He knew that Itachi couldn't watch her 24/7 ,so he was sure that there would be at least one moment when he was away. He would torture her if she wouldn't tell the real side of the contract and when she would refuse ,he would change the tone of interrogation to more intimate . It had been a long time since he had seen other women than Deidara ... Akatsuki member couldn't wait to have all those women or men around them like the heroes of the good side would have. They weren't popular.

Imachi was a little irritated of the silence and all the gazes Sasori had sent her ,so she asked : "What about my mission here ? What am I going to do ?" Itachi was drinking wine and he removed the glass from his lips. His lips had a little wine pearl on them and he said : "Your mission is to help us. In healing and power gathering. " Imachi almost choked to her food ,but managed to not let out a single cough. She stared at Itachi ,while he was wiping his mouth and said : "You're trying to say I should help you until I die or you die ? B-But ... I ca -" She stammered and she finished her sentence : "I can't betray my village ! " Sasori had used his puppet ,which was now pulling her hair ,yelling : "SHUT UP WOMAN ! YOU'RE OUR HOSTAGE AND WE HAVE NO INTENTION TO TREAT YOU LIKE YOU ARE A QUEEN !" Imachi squealed and tried to free her hair ,but Sasori continued to pull them from afar. Itachi stood up and yelled : "SASORI ! STOP IT ! " But he was too late . Imachi wasn't going to be tortured like this when the dinner had been so lovely and pulled out a kunai she had been hiding ,cutting her hair from the line where Sasori pulled it. Sasori wasn't excepting this and fell backwards. Imachi stood up and bowed to Itachi ,saying : "Thank you for the delicious dinner . If there's anything else to discuss about ,I'm in my room." She wasn't sorry for her hair,but that Sasori had been so strict about that and all Itachi had done was to stood up from the chair and whine like a child.

She was pouring little tears ,but wiped them quickly and left the dining room . She still held her kunai and closed the door silently. The servants glanced her a little while after hearing the noises from the room and an old man said : "Are you alright ,mademoiselle ?" She nodded ,now pouring tears freely and continued to walk towards baths. When she got there ,she washed her face and watched to the mirror . Her eyes weren't so puffy now ,but the trails of where the tears had went were still visible. She wiped the rest water off her face and looked at her hair. It was now so short ,so short . Total opposite of her waist-length hair . Now it reached her shoulders and she started to tidy her haircut with the kunai. She was thinking of all the happy moments with her friends . She remembered how her mother was proud when she graduated from the academy with the top grades . How Naruto smiled when she had first time said : "Naruto-niisan !" ,when she still was a child. How Sakura had given her a hairband and forced Sasuke to say it looked cute on her. How her father taught her the ultimate sneaking techniques and how she had to explain to the ladies that catched her father redhanded that he was teaching her how to behave in Hot Springs . She missed them. All of those who had complicented or insulted her . Now ,where she was ,there was only violent criminals who could do anything they want to her . And that Sasori had eyed her in a weird way ,like that Sound nin had Ino many years ago . But now she couldn't kill him with an advantage as she did back then . She finished with her hair and moved on to her room. She closed the door and tried to block it with a piece of wood she found. Now she could make it in time to get something for her defence if someone would tuck in. Now that Sasori had shown the length of his temper ,she wasn't sure of anything . She sighed and silently undressed . She folded the dress clamly and found her own clothes from the closet . Washed and folded. She smiled a little smile when remembering that little girl back there and put on only her long shirt and the cloak of Akatsuki . She was sweaty already so she decided not to dress fully for the night . The clock must have been something near 11 PM ,if the dinner was started on 10 PM . She decided to get sleep before someone would come in and she made sure all her stuff was in order before undressing the cloak . She folded it back to the closet and went to bed ,pulling the blanket to her ears ,reaching to get more warm. She closed her eyes and tried to calm herself down. All these things happened and all those things that were going to happen . She sighed and before falling asleep ,she hoped from the bottom of her heart that she never would have gone to take a nap under the waterfalls. Then she finally fell asleep.

Itachi and Sasori were the only ones left in the room. Both remaining silent ,they ate . Itachi was going to kill Sasori. Now she was definetly in shock and had went to sleep . He would never had another chance to tell her the real side of the bargain ,now that Sasori had shown a little interest and disbelief to the plan . He still hadn't give her the antidote he had forced Deidara to hand him. She would get weaker and weaker. He was fuming of anger ,but not showing a slightest trace of it. At the same time Sasori was cursing Itachi for not telling him all of the thing that was going between them . There was nothing as annoying as to not be sure of Itachi. Not only he was the most "popular" of them ,he had been so arrogant to refuse from Orochimaru's offer to join him. And now Orochimaru was dead and Itachi was the most probably strongest of the "bad" guys in this little world they lived in and it irritated Sasori so much that he was ready to spit at Itachi's face if he would come too close. He was all so cocky and now he decided to bring one silly girl here and he wasn't even telling the truth . What else there were going between those two ? It would be surprising for sure if Itachi wanted all these humanly needs ,but he wasn't that kind of guy who would need that.

He was the most recent member ,but still he was the "leader" of the organization . He couldn't stand it that Itachi was always five steps ahead when others were one or two. Now he had pulled a leaf kunoichi here as she was Itachi's most precious belonging. It irritated him extremely that Itachi was the only one that everyone was supporting and probably he was going to work with that kunoichi now that she had managed to kill Kisame. And Itachi wasn't even irritated that his team-mate was killed by her. Well ,most probably , Itachi's team would become the most powerful if he had a kunoichi with a demon inside her and if that kunoichi was more powerful than Kisame ,then he would be the most powerful of ninjas ,surpass the Kages ,maybe. It was sure that this wench wasn't going to obey him or anyone else than Itachi. And when they both ate their meals already ending,the only thing in their minds were Imachi. Currently sleeping ,dozed off from the world , Imachi.
