Sapherya ~ Pov
It has been about a week since Deidara and Itachi have left to return the forbidden scroll. I was missing him terribly, honestly it confused me so much as to why? Because when I ended up back in my own world I seemed to accept it, but here. Every passing day makes me more and more anxious. I just want him near me, I want to feel him against my body, I want to taste his sweet lips against my own. I missed him so much.
sigh escaped my lips as I watched the walls that extended around me. I was wandering around the base by myself just feeling overwhelmed and needing a little space. I ended up outside in a field. Honestly, it's not the first time I've been to this field. While I was here the first time, as a cat Itachi took me here and I watched him and Kisame spar at one point in time. However, being her as a human it looked way more pretty. I felt all the emotions I was keeping to myself rise and bubble. I felt the drop in my stomach as my eyes well up with the tears that are threatening to fall.
"I miss you" I sighed holding myself as I kneeled in the middle of the field and I cried. I couldn't believe that this was hurting way more than leaving the first time. Maybe it was because I couldn't imagine my life without him anymore. I didn't know what to do with myself. I gave him my everything. That and I think everything was finally catching up to me. I was here, in the Naruverse, I was with the Akatsuki, and they considered me as family. I had become one of them, without actually meaning to. This was all because some fate decided that I should become their little pet, the Akatuki's Kitten? Like some silly little joke. A mascot for them. Who knew that I'd end up here with my best friend, my own cat, and on top of that falling in love with my favorite person. Everything just seemed so surreal. I cried harder, it wasn't from missing him, it was from the fear of possibly losing him and everyone again, that I'm going to wake up and it'll all be gone in an instant. I don't know if I can handle it again. I don't think I can take being torn away from this life here. This is my life now, they are my family and he is my love.
"Sapherya?" A voice asked, I hadn't registered that there was anyone else here as I was lost in my own thoughts. "Sapherya, love?" The voice asked again, startling me from my own thoughts, I turned and my eyes widened. He's home ! I couldn't help but scramble to stand up and stand there looking like a deer in headlights. Is it really him? Itachi are you really here? I thought to myself. "Sapherya, are you alright, my love?" He asked me again, and I just stood there. He looked concerned, walking up to me, his hand tenderly stroking my cheek, his coal eyes gently staring down at me. That was that, the tears fell more rapidly. I couldn't hold anything back. I knew that in my heart, was this is? Was this what it felt like? Is This Love?
"I missed you, my love" I whispered hoarsely as I stood on my tippy toes and kissed him gently. I felt his arms wrap around my waist to draw me closer, this… this was real, this was really him and I'm in love with him. When we pulled away from our embrace I looked at him with a small smile on my face.
"I missed you too, my love" he still had his hands on my waist, his tired onyx eyes showing nothing but love for me at that very moment. I was delighted.
"So, you're finished with your mission?" I asked him and lay my hands against his chest smiling happily. He gave a small smile and nodded curtly.
"I am, I just finished reporting to Pein, It took me a moment to find you, but then I heard you" he looked concerned for a moment before caressing my cheek once more. "However you sounded as if you were upset," He wiped away the remainder of my tears from my cheek and kissed my forehead. "Do you mind if I ask what is wrong?" His voice came out soft and concerned as I let out a gentle sigh.
"I was just thinking, and you know how I get when I let my mind wander about in the depths of its darkness… and I was freaking myself out because I didn't want to be taken away from you guys again. You've become my family, and honestly…" I looked down, blushing slightly, my lip trembling as I wanted to openly admit it, like truly admit it to him that I love him. I know we've never technically told each other before, well he has told me, and openly admitted to me, but I haven't. I was afraid.
"Honestly?" He asked me to try to coax it out of me. I closed my eyes and took a deep breath shaking slightly. I was building the courage to try and tell him. My thoughts racing, this is it. This will be the day that I tell him, I tell Itachi Uchiha that I love him. I opened my bright brown eyes and stared up at him, the confidence rolling off of me, my smile wide and my cheeks hot with a blush.
"Honestly, I wanted to tell you something, something that I should have for a very long time… and now that I'm here with you. I finally have gained the courage to do it…. Itachi Uchiha. I don't know what you did to me, but I've fallen for you, I've fallen deeply in love with you… I can't imagine my life without you and I am ready to spend the rest of my existence by your side. You've grown to be my other half, and it honestly feels weird when you're not around. So, if it's alright with you I'd really like to stay by your side" I told him finally confessing everything to him, I almost couldn't look so I ended my statement with a close-eyed smile. I let out a little startled gasp my eyes opening again when I suddenly felt his lips against my own. I close my eyes once more kissing him back my arms snaking around his neck entangling them in his hair.
Not long after we broke apart, the moon started to rise and I glanced up at the stars with a bright smile on my face as I panted slightly. "Well… I'm glad you agree" I look at his face where just the purest form of love and adoration rested in his features. I couldn't help but melt at the mere sight of it. He loves me… me… the mere thought of that sends butterflies in my stomach.
"Come, love, let's head inside." He said softly and smiled taking my hand into his as we walked back inside. I moved closer leaning my head on his arm while we walked a smile on my face growing as I felt happy, I was complete. He was here with me, and only for me. I really was the luckiest person in the world.
"Were you able to successfully take back the scroll?" I asked him softly and tilted my head curiously. He looked as if he was pondering on how to answer before nodding simply, giving me a very typical response, and chuckled.
"Hn." his voice was soft but his eyes showed so much.
"Okay," once we reached our bedroom he opened the door scooping me off my feet, and smiled as he carried me in and carefully set me on the bed after closing the door. "I-Itachi!" I squealed when I realized I wasn't walking anymore. Once he let me down and kissed my forehead before changing his clothes into some new pants and a black shirt as usual. He glanced over and smiled crawling into the bed with me, I was truly happy. It was that night that I confessed my love for him. To confess my love at all, it was all because he was willing to be patient with me, and work with me till I was able to be comfortable to say it back. He warmed my heart to feelings I never thought would be possible for me to feel. He changed me… he changed me for the better and I don't think I'll ever be able to repay the man, but I hope my heart will be enough.
"Come here" He mumbled softly pulling me into his arms, I snuggled my face against his throat, taking a deep breath relaxing at the mere scent of him. Closing my eyes as I slowly started to drift off to sleep, I heard his voice in my ear. "I love you Sapherya, and I'm glad you finally feel like you can trust me with those words as well." He said and kissed my forehead, pulling a smile to my face.
"I love you Tachi, sleep well my love" I whispered ever so softly until I was pulled into the dreamless restful sleep. One where I was safe, and I felt safe and protected. I truly owe this man my life.
"Good night my love." He whispered and pulled me closer as I rested my head on his chest not long after I knew I had fallen asleep. Happy and content. We shall see what tomorrow brings to us, what a new day will shine and how the others will truly react. Tomorrow, there will be a new beginning, a new chapter. I look forward to seeing how this all turns out. Tomorrow will be a new day with the love of my life. Now… the new mission? Make it through the next day… Let the chaos begin…

Sorry guys it's been so long, A lot of bad things have been happening recently, I just got out of a 4-year abusive relationship. So between depression and loss of motivation, it took me a little time to get this out! Thank you for all those who decided to stay! 3
