Sapherya~ Pov
I woke up about an hour later feeling of arms wrapped around me. I felt safe, and secure. I looked behind me seeing a sleeping Uchiha holding me tightly to him. I blushed madly. I knew he wasn't drunk this time and it wasn't like him to cuddle in his sleep so that means he intentionally held me. What the hell has this Uchiha gotten into him. I poked his cheek. "Uchiiiiha…" I drawled out and poked him again. He cracked open an eye and pulled me closer nuzzling my cheek. I squealed and blushed squirming slightly. He sighed in annoyance letting me go.
"Hn." I sweat drop and sat up looking at him yawning slightly rubbing the sleep from my eyes.
"Itachi… wake up!" I raised my voice a tad yawning again. I needed to make lunch for everyone. I tend to make all the meals while helping Konan sometimes. She was definitely getting better at cooking. I poked him again and he opened an eye. He looked at me boredly.
"Let them fend for themselves." He muttered. I blinked and swatted his arm.
"Don't be such an ass. I've been here for a few months already and you know how they are!" I tried to reason. I yelped when I was pulled down into his arms. Did what I said earlier this morning really affect him?
"Mine," he whispered in my ear. I shivered.
"I-Itachi?" I was embarrassed.
"I just want you to be mine. It's been about a month or two already, I've got these feelings that at first I couldn't understand. But now I do, I've fallen in love with you Sapherya Kormak…" He looked at me deeply in my shocked eyes. Am I hearing this right? "I don't want anyone else to have you. I just want you to be all mine." He whispers softly. "Even if that means I have to court you." He states old fashioned. I chuckled softly at that statement. It was funny, in the real world, Itachi was one if not my favorite character and here he is confessing his feelings to me. It's like a really bad fan fiction story. I didn't know how to respond. I was just quiet and I pondered what he was saying.
"Itachi…" I paused approaching the situation rather cautiously. "You do know that there may or may not be a chance that I might end up sent back to my own world right?" I asked him seriously. I sat up and he sat in front of me. He looked paler than normal. A look of fright befell his features, this kind of broke my heart a little.
"I am aware of this fact, and that is one that I must consider when I have fallen in love with you. However If that ends up the case then I would spend the rest of my breathing days searching for a way to find you. I would sacrifice my life, and actually I'd choose to live for you." He stated stubbornly and honestly how he said that was almost romantic. I blushed slightly when he directed that towards me.
"Itachi…" I quietly murmur.
"Since you know about us from your world, you know that I'm destined to die by my brother's hand. I am willing to change that and make sure I live so I wouldn't leave you. I want you, I want you to bear my children, I want you to be my wife. My partner, the love of my life." He proclaimed to me. I blushed harder and just sat there my face was as red as blood and hot as lava. My eyes are as wide as saucers, I didn't even know how to respond. With that he leaned in and kissed me deeply and passionately. I was paralyzed I didn't know what to do. Itachi was hesitant yet determined and grabbed my waist pulling me closer to him. I finally let my brain click and I gently kissed him back. I was so embarrassed but I melted into him.
"Okay, I'll give you Uchiha." I smile slightly and gasp loudly when he nibbles at my neck then goes back to attacking my lips with his own. I kissed back leaning into him. He definitely had a way of controlling my outgoing personality. I pulled away gasping for air and smiled softly at him.
"You are beautiful Sapherya." He smiles softly. I've seen parts of him that he shows no one. His softer sides, his smile, his light laughs, I've seen them all. I was his friend, and apparently now I'm his lover. It's funny how someone like me who hated the idea of love could be swayed by a family of S-Class Criminals: The Akatsuki. They became my family and my love. They showed me trust, after a long strained month of not trusting each other. That was definitely painful, but in the end they got used to me. I found they really liked my cooking. That let them trust me a little more.
"You're weird Uchiha" I smirk and look at him. "Now Mr. Uchiha are you going to let me get up and go make lunch?" I asked him since I was still in his arms. I rose brow at him. He pursed his lips and stood holding my hand and led me to the kitchen where I saw a few people attempting to find food. I laughed and began making Onigiri and Dango for lunch. I hummed happily as I made the food. After finishing I brought some to each member, Itachi by my side the entire time. I was by Konan and Pein's room and Pein's office. They've just grown accustomed to my assholeryness of just walking in, which I did. I smirked and walked over to Konan whispering in her ear something while handing them their food.
"Konan I need your advice." I whispered in her ear low enough for the other two prying boys to not hear. She looked at me and to Itachi and back to me then to my stomach before blurting out.
"Are you pregnant?" I think anime falling over didn't exist at this moment because I fell so hard on the floor and face palmed a little extensively leaving a slight mark.
"What the fuck Konan!? NO! I'm not pregnant!" I looked taken aback by the woman who stood before me. I turned back slightly to watch the two males. Itachi and Pein both rose a brow. "Uchiha, stay… Or go to the kitchen but stay…" I grabbed Konan's wrist and dragged her to our little "Secret" room.
"So, if you're not pregnant then what's wrong?" she asked amused.
"Itachi confessed his feelings to me. We… Kissed." I hesitated. Her eyes brightened sparkling. She was clearly happy. She knew this was coming a while ago.
"What are you going to do?" She asked me. I looked hesitant and bit my lip.
"Well, I did agree to dating him. But he wants more, a family, me to… Be his wife." I state unsure. Konan frowned.
"That's going to be hard since, well, we ARE the Akatsuki and his brother is still looking for him, plus you're from another world." I nodded sighing.
"I'm aware of that Konan, this is what makes me hesitant. But truth be told I've developed feelings for him. It just worries me." I proclaimed truthfully.
"I know what you mean. There's a possibility you may not return. You've been with us for over half a year. Nothing has changed?" she asked/stated. I shook my head.
"Sad truth no, nothing has changed. I do miss my old home. I'm sure my friend Penelope has checked up on my cat since I've just gone "missing" and nothing has changed. Maybe…" I looked hopeful. "Maybe it would be possible? I'm sure Pein would be ok with it...If I couldn't convince him I know you could." I looked at Konan and smiled. "thanks for being a good friend." I smiled widely and hugged her tightly. She smiled happily and hugged me back.
"Likewise Sapherya." She gave me an honest smile and we both started laughing hysterically.
We both walked back to the boys. It looks like Itachi already explained things to Pein since he was smirking in our direction. Konan and I both sweat dropped at the leader. "The fuck Pein?" I asked him to raise a brow to his smirk.
"So, I see that you, a chakraless girl from another world, have captured the heart of a deadly, emotionless Akatsuki member?" He stated. I blinked and shot a glare at Itachi pouting and blushed.
"Well, that would be ONE way of explaining that." Pein smirks and Konan rose a brow this time.
"Why? Do you approve of this Pein-sama?" Konan was amused by the whole situation. Me? I was just stunned. I really didn't know how to think of this situation. Itachi came to stand by me. I just was staring at Pein. Konan looked at me worried. She was snapping in front of me. "I think you broke her Pein…" Konan frowned. Itachi paused for a minute before trying something. If anyone else was in the room he probably wouldn't have done this. He kissed me full. I jumped and pulled away blushing hiding in a corner.
"I'm dead…" I stated "I'mma go die now…" I faced a wall and blushed so hard. Konan could be heard laughing and she walked over to me. She placed a hand on my shoulder. "Nope, this is now my embarrassment wall. Nope, nope, nope, nope!~" I stated my body temperature was way high. Itachi could be heard chuckling.
"You really are lame when it comes to love and affection, you're such a child." He also states walking over with Pein. I turned around on my heels fist up ready to deck him.
"I'm not a child! You stupid Uchiha!" I glared at the male in front of me, stupid Uchiha smirk on his face. "You're dumb…" I crossed my arms in annoyance. I didn't know how to act at the moment. I just stared at them. "This is ridiculous. It's like you guys have never seen a girl going out with a guy?!" I said with an annoyed look.
Pein looked at me and sat back down in his seat. "That wouldn't be the case, however, my dear Sapherya this would be the first…" He paused, raising a brow at the Uchiha. He just shook his head as if saying not yet. Pein rolled his eyes and nodded. "In any case be smart, because even if you disappear you've become one of us. Since you lack Chakra we have a strong need to protect you. You've become a precious item in our home." I looked awestruck.
"Nani da Fuck did scary ass Akatsuki leader say!?" I blurted out the dumbest sentence ever. I sweat drop and so did everyone else. A long awkward silence proceeded to follow. "Well a gay baby was born at this awkward moment" I muttered. Pein shook his head, rolling his eyes. I really didn't know how to feel about Pein acting so weird and out of character. Even if I've been here for half a year he normally isn't this "emotional" this, this is what scares me.
"You truly are a strange Sapherya" He mused. Konan looked just as confused as me. "So, like what the fuck are you boys hiding?!" I demanded pouting and stomping a foot. Apparently I looked cute because Konan Squealed and Itachi's eyes lit up in laughter, Pein was amused.
"Ask Itachi." Was all he said before finishing his long forgotten lunch. Konan joined him with her own food. I just glared at both of them and stalked off.
"God damn stupid Pein, and fuck the goddamn Uchiha. This is fucking stupid. Ne ne.." I continue to grumble to myself pissed off with everything. Apparently they are keeping secrets I swear I'll figure it out! Just wait for you guys. I could hear Itachi following me and laughing softly holding my hand and intertwining them with his. I blushed and looked away pouting. "Stupid Uchiha. You and your damn smirk will pay." I glare sticking my tongue out and pouts even more. I just go to the kitchen and dig out the rest of the mochi ice cream. Itachi rose a brow.
"So you're the culprit who has been stealing my ice cream." He was amused. I looked at the ice cream in my hand and to him and I smirk shoving the rest of them in my mouth. Nodding since I couldn't speak with the food. I just shrugged and walked off to his room. But before I could he grabs my hand and leads me in another direction.
Itachi ~ Pov (Listen while reading ~ 3 )
I had to win her over even more. I had to make her see. Only she knew how to get on my nerves and get me to see things that I've never seen before. She knew how to push my buttons, she was the first woman or person to get me to show more emotions since Sasuke. She brought things out that I thought had died a long time ago. I wasn't sure how to react previously, but now I know for sure. I know that Sapherya has become the love of my life and I'll do everything I can to show her my love. To make sure she's protected and happy. This is what I yearn for.
After a while I brought her to a beautiful lake clearing. It's been awhile since she's been outside like this. I wanted her to see this place for a while. She looked bewildered. This clearing was a medium circular clearing with a small lake on the far side leading into a waterfall. We were in a ring of the greenest trees. Flowers adorn the fields in front of us. The sky was as clear blue as the ocean. It was warm, the sun kissed our skin in a warming manner not too hot, nor too cold. It was peaceful, I wanted to show her this piece of heaven I have.
"This… Is my secret place that I go to escape some of the hardships of life. It's something that I promised myself that no matter what I'd keep it a secret. Now, it's the one place I wanted to show the one person I love." my smile softened even more and continued in a loving manner. "To show… You." My heart ached in anticipation. I watched her stare at me shocked, unsure, hesitant, but there was something else. Admiration, adoration, a genuine look on her face.
"This is a beautiful Itachi…" She whispers. She looked around and her eyes fell back on me, a blush creeping up on her cheeks.
"You're Beautiful" I spoke before thinking her cheeks getting redder.
"I never knew I could feel this way…" she began. "I've always looked at love as a burden, something that never would find me. I always thought I'd end up like my mother, hateful, spiteful, hating the person who hurt her the most. The one man she trusted and he cheated on her. I didn't want to end up like her. I locked my heart away, especially after I-" she stopped herself before walking up to me grabbing my hand.
"What?" I asked, raising a brow. I was curious about what she was saying. She looked afraid, and nervous. Taking a deep breath she began to speak her words stunned me.
"Well, when I was around 16 I was sexually assaulted. That's what I was explaining to Kisame the other day. Ever since that day, I almost killed myself a few times. I also shut away and sort of love emotion away. The only ones who've seen any love from me was my cat and best friend Penelope. Since that time I basically have said "Fuck love, it doesn't exist." I had given up on finding any sort of love or relationship/partner. I figured that I could get through life without finding anyone." She finished. To say I was pissed was an understatement. I wanted to find the monster who did that to her. He didn't deserve to breathe. I felt my chest tighten and split in two. I grabbed her hand and pulled her close to me. I embraced her tightly. I was willing to be patient and show her that not all men are bad. That I'll protect her from being broken, that I'll make her world. I held the small girl in my arms and kissed the top of her head.
"I'll protect you." I started softly and she pulled away smiling softly, a small smile adorned her lips.
" I know you will Itachi, I know you will." She stood on her tiptoes arms wrapping around my neck and pulled me into a deep yet passionate kiss. I loved every bit of her and I'm willing to do whatever I need to protect her. I deepened the kiss ever so slightly and I felt her groan softly under me. I pulled away and looked down at her smiling.
"So cute." I mutter down to her. I saw her cheeks blush a deeper crimson, she is definitely someone who is worth protecting. Even in the shinobi way.
"I'm not cute~!" she pouted making her more adorable and I chuckled slightly. Noticing the sky darkening. I look down at her chocolate brown eyes and smile softly.
"Come my love, it's getting late lets head back." She smiles nodding and takes one last longing look towards the clearing.
"I can't believe we were out that long." She looked around in wonder. "There's something about that place that is almost magical." She mused a mystic look on her face. I chuckle and look at her.
"Anyplace you stand looks magical."
"Now that was just lame Uchiha." She commented on the deadpanning. I couldn't help but chuckle.
"I'm just stating a fact." She rolled her eyes and looked at the sky as it darkened.
"It's so peaceful, it's rather enjoyable." I watch her carefully studying her features as she looks around in marvel. I just couldn't understand how a woman with her past still had the strength to smile and move on. I know my brother has hate in his heart hence his desire to come after me. I won't let that happen anymore. I'll try and find a way to fix that mess, but first I need to figure out the situation at hand… Get Sapherya to say "Yes."
