Chapter 23: A new home

After finding a small shelter in the land of spring, Hiroshi had found them, still angry with Itachi.

'I'm home,' he muttered, angrily. Phire sighed.

'Who wants to get food?' she asked. Hiroshi said that he had brought some food from Hidden Moon village.

'All I brought were some biscuits, and some cake, as well as two sodas,' Hiroshi added in, being specific.

'Oh yea, I drank one of the sodas, so you two will either have to share or find your own drinks,' he said. Itachi and Phire looked at each other strangely.

'We'll share, I guess,' she muttered, taking the soda, opening it, drinking some, and then gave it to Itachi. He also drank some of it.

'Aren't we going to buy a house?' Hiroshi asked. Phire thought for a minute.

'We're moving to the city,' she said. Itachi glared at her; the city!

'No we're not, Hiroshi,' Itachi yelled, glaring at Phire. She glared back at him, and Hiroshi left, looking for food.

'Well I was planning to; if you don't want to come, then I'll go myself,' she grunted, crossing her arms. He stuck a kunai in her back.

'I'm older than you, and I say that we can just find a random village to stay in,' Itachi then head locked her and told her. She didn't want to argue, but she got out of his grasp, and took her sword out.

'Oh, so now you want me to come with you? I thought that you could live on your own, like you have been doing!' she growled. Itachi knew that if she left, the goumon no sharingan would be less effective, besides, he didn't want to take care of Hiroshi, that too, alone.

'Well exactly why are you going into the city?' he asked. She rubbed her forehead.

'I sort of… have a job there, in a university,' she told him. He raised an eyebrow.

'I thought you weren't going to be a researcher anymore,' he told her. She shook her head.

'I am not just going to look for biju; you already have to try to get Naruto, remember, with Kisame?' she told him. He almost forgot about the Kyubi.

'But I thought you said that you would protect him?' he asked, raising an eyebrow.

'Oh, I will, but not in person,' he told her, about to leave. He grabbed her waist, and pulled her, making himself sit on the rock-like "chair", and making her sit on his lap. She blinked.

'Um, what was that for?' she asked.

'You're not leaving,' he told her, 'and that's final.' She glared at him, and then took her sword out, and slashed him, jumped up, and started walking away. He grabbed her arm.

'Don't make me use the new sharingan on you; even if I can't torture you, I can make you feel pain. You know that,' he threatened her. She glared at him.

'If you want me to stay, then stop me, because I'm leaving,' he told him, getting her arm out of his grasp, her Chimanako eyes activating. He didn't restrain even one bit, and he hurt her badly, but she made him drown in his own blood, and she fainted, tired from everything.

'Hmph,' he grunted, lifting her. He found a rock-like couch, and put her onto it. He then grabbed her arms and tied them with chains he had made from shurikans, and her ankles with something similar, but with kunais.
