Well I'm letting this chapter out early again…this first part is filler but you get to meet an important supporting character. I really like this chapter it's my second favorite compared to the third chapter. This chapter is just mostly Itachi and Yuki and how they react to one another. The title Art is a girl plays a small part in this chapter because the conversation goes to Art. And now truthfully I know nothing about drug sales/deals if anybody does know then please message me or review me. I would really like peoples help on this…so please help.
And special thanks to Silverwolf1213 her reviews are always fun to read and you know what else so are her fanfics. Whatever fans I have should read her work it's really good and fun to read.
As for I just edit this piece did you know that there is a difference between cigars and cigarettes O.o (yeah blond mo moment) and here I was writing as the same thing. So I fixed it and I also changed the percentage of money Yuki was asking for.
Chapter 5
~A Date with a Jake-in-the-box~
(Yuki)
Yuki frowned she looked at the triple mirror at the mall's dressing room examining the dress she was wearing. The short dress looked fine actually, better then fine it hugged Yuki's curves perfectly giving off the soft sexy look but they weren't good for her upcoming date with the Uchiha good. Yuki walked back into her changing room to try on more clothes.
Yuki sighed, now she was really irritated. Everything she wore looked appealing to her (except the yellow dress shirt) but they weren't date with the Uchiha good. She wanted to look unappealing to the Uchiha while still looking good. Most of the outfits Yuki liked but none that caught her eyes.
Yuki walked out of the dressing room in normal cloths, jeans and a T-shirt. Putting an expansive pair of sun glasses Yuki walked out of the store. She had no luck at that store maybe she'll have luck somewhere else.
A date with the Uchiha was not how Yuki wanted to spend her Saturday night. She kept reminding herself the date was all business and should be treated as such, that didn't stop her heart from beating.
Yuki shook her head a slight bit. The reason why her heart was beating was the common logic of the mind. Her mind was sending messages to her heart that the Uchiha was hot and she should be excited over meeting him again. It was all mind games her heart was just confused and was trying to catch up with her mind.
Yuki was deep in thought thinking about the Uchiha she didn't notice a person standing in front of her. She gasped trying to regain her balance but only ended up landing on her butt, and looking up.
"Kozo?" Yuki scoffed staring at the dark haired boy. He matured since she last saw him. His face has lost some of his innocent features but he still looked innocent. Yuki didn't see anything innocent with him after he tried forcing himself on her with two weeks of dating. Yuki managed to hurt him so he wouldn't try it again.
"Y-Y-Yuki!" Kozo stuttered looking surprised and scared. He would usually stutter around her to prove he was just an innocent little boy. In his arms was another woman but could be seen as a girl for her looks that were still stuck in twelve year's old body. The woman frowned looking at Yuki then looked somewhere else.
"H-h-how," he paused and gulped, "l-long h-has i-i-it b-b-been?" he asked still stuttering.
"Two years," Yuki rolled her eyes; she glanced at the woman, "clearly not long enough," Yuki answered dryly.
Kozo looked hurt. Yuki walked past Kozo not even glancing back at him.
"W-what a-are y-y-you p-p-planning to-tonight?" Kozo asked
Yuki stopped, "I have a date with Itachi Uchiha," Yuki began walking faster before Kozo could ask any more questions, she didn't want to answer. She could feel the woman's glare on her back after she said the Uchiha's name but could you blame the woman.
Yuki finished off her shopping which didn't take as long as she hopped. She found herself at home again getting ready for the upcoming date. She just got out of the shower when her cell phone rang.
"Hello?" Yuki answered, drying her hair. Yuki could barely hear Deidara's voice in the background, he was complaining about something she kept on hearing Hidan's name, "Master Hidan if may so be polite and hand the phone to Deidara," Yuki demanded hiding the fact she was irritated.
Hidan was someone who Yuki rarely enjoyed his company. He was rude, impolite and a foul mouth. His slick silver hair was pushed back and tainted violent eyes that always her like some he wanted her dead. He stood a good 5"8ft tall and proud of it; his body was in braced with tattoos and scars that were always related to his religion.
Hidan laughed obnoxiously only allowing Yuki to grimace in annoyance biting her tongue so she wouldn't say something rude that could get her killed. She heard some shuffling then Deidara's excited voice, "Hello un!"
Yuki could imagine Deidara on the other end of the phone his light blue eyes lighting up with excitement, the look of eagerness on his face all switching him relaxing on the couch looking cool trying to hide the fact he was excited.
"Hey Yuki," he said coolly, "what's up hmmm?"
Yuki began brushing her hair, "You should tell me; Why did Hidan call?" Yuki raised an eyebrow.
"He called you un?" she could now imagine Deidara scrunching his eyebrows together in confusion. She only smiled in thought.
"Yes he did Master Deidara," Yuki brushed out a hard knot, "Why did he call Master Deidara?" Yuki tried again.
"Um…" Deidara placed a hand over the mouth of the phone. Yuki couldn't hear anything except for some murmuring then Deidara's voice back on the speaker, "Are you busy tonight hmmm?"
Yuki put the brush on the dresser and leaned on the dresser, "Yes I'm busy tonight," Yuki glanced at the clock only two more hours to get ready. She sighed and waited for Deidara to speak if he asked with who, she'll tell him if not she won't.
Deidara's voice turned serious, "Yuki,"
"Hmm?" Yuki walked into the closet and began looking for outfit to wear for tonight. She had no luck shopping today maybe would have look in her closet.
"I heard Itachi is interested in you un," Deidara whispered.
Yuki stopped shuffling through her clothes, "I know," Yuki whispered. Deidara had no idea she was going on with her and the Uchiha. He shouldn't.
"Be careful when he is around he might try to seduce you un," Deidara's voice sounded worried which was strange even for him. Yuki stayed quiet. Did Deidara hear of the plan , date with the Uchiha? There was no way Deidara knew after all Itachi and Deidara never spoke to each other only for "Akatsuki business". No, she never mentioned it to anybody and the Uchiha was too mysterious to open his mouth about the date.
Yuki realized Deidara was waiting for her to answer. Yuki switched the phone to her other ear, "I know Deidara but…" but what? She couldn't tell Deidara what happened when is with the Uchiha. She couldn't tell him anything about her and the Uchiha, "…the Uchiha and I are starting trade with the Akatsuki," that's it right? She wasn't going on the date for anything but trade.
Deidara said something that sound like "Drugs", before she could hear him clearly, "Please be careful when you're with him, make sure I'm always with around un,"
"Deidara I have to go," Yuki hung up the phone before Deidara made another comment to make her feel guilty.
Yuki shuffled even more threw her clothes. She found a long black dress and decides it was the best she can deal with. It was a surprise when she put it on. The dress looked good on her (of course) but it was exactly what she was looking for it showed off her curves giving her sexy look, but it covered her well enough so nothing was showing keeping her innocent. The dress was an ankle length dress with straps and a v-neck cut (basically a cocktail dress you wear for News Years).
Next was the make-up and hair. Yuki tied her up in a clip. Her make-up was heavy covering the old buries from a little over a week ago. They were an ugly yellowish color they were going to away; thank god. She glanced at the clock 7:30 only a half an hour left…
She gasped grabbed her high heels quickly putting them on before running out the door. Her clock was wrong she was actually half an hour late. She growled to herself and ran to Konoha Park. The Uchiha would be displeased more furious at her but why should she care anyway?
Yuki finally made it to the park, taking small steps towards the empty bench she stopped, "I'm sorry I'm late," She sighed.
"Hn," said a voice from behind her. Yuki gasped and looked behind her the Uchiha sat on the park bench behind her. He held a cigarette in one hand and his cell phone in the other, "I had to make another reservation," the Uchiha growled his face emotionless.
Yuki wondered how he kept his face so emotionless but his eyes and voice would give out very few hints to how he felt. Maybe he was some sort of demon?
"You smoke?" Yuki knew he smoked he smelled heavily of Nicotine the very few times she met with him but this was the first she actually see him smoke in front of her. It was also another way to distract him so he wouldn't yell at her for being late. Though the Uchiha's voice raising his voice in anger seemed like an impossible thought. Though a lot of things have been surprising Yuki since she started dating Deidara she wouldn't be to surprised at anything at the moment.
He only raised an eyebrow like he always did when talking to her; he didn't say anything for a while only smoked. Yuki looked away trying to hide the fact that she was irritated, didn't dare tell her one point in time (or all the time) that Itachi was an impossible person to talk to because he hardly said anything.
The night air blew sending a cold breeze through the park. Yuki shivered a slight cursing at herself for being stupid and forgetting her coat at home for the first time at home but she was also stubborn and wasn't going to show the Uchiha she was cold. She sat next to Itachi ignoring the voice of her deceased tutor lecturing on cursing fixing the straps on heels that she had no time to fix, "Thanks to being late," she mumbled.
Itachi was watching her, his eyes burning on her back. It was like he monitoring her storing everything she was doing for later data.
Minutes passed by, Yuki and the Uchiha had hardly uttered a sound. The only sound that could be heard was the passing of the wind dropping the temperate a few degrees. The Uchiha got up and began walking away; Yuki followed him matching up to his strides.
"I'm sorry I'm late," Yuki said again.
"Being on time isn't one of your high qualities is it?"
"Could you not be rude?" Yuki hissed she stopped walking.
He didn't stop, "You're going to make us late again Yuki,"
"Yuki?" Yuki raised an eyebrow but shook it off, "I'm not moving to you explain what point you are trying to make?"
"I hate waiting for people Yuki," there it was said her name again and worst of all it came so natural coming from his lips.
Yuki stared at him for awhile, he kept on walking not looking behind him to see if she would follow or not, "Seems reasonable," Yuki mumbled to herself.
"Are you coming, Yuki?"
She blushed and looked away her heart beating faster for some reason. She had no feelings for Itachi, none what's ever.
"Yuki?" He stopped and glanced at her through the corner of his eyes.
"Y-yes," Yuki said walking up to him, still deep in thought about her feelings for the Uchiha. She hated him. No she didn't hate him, if she hates him she wouldn't be on this 'date' with him but she couldn't place her finger on it but one thing was for sure whatever she felt for the Uchiha it defiantly wasn't love. She won't even let him know she even "felt" for him.
They walked in more silence irritating Yuki till no end, she normally enjoyed the quite but every time the Uchiha was around the silence became uncomfortable but comfortable with a safe aura lingering behind it.
"Weasel," Yuki muttered under her breath hopping to break the silence. The Uchiha kept on walking, "Itachi means weasel,"
He looked at her about time she got a reaction from him Yuki smirked to herself, the wind picked up. Yuki hugged herself in an attempt to keep herself warm. The Uchiha smirked as well before looking forward.
Yuki continued, "Weasels are sneaky and sly creatures they are always doing something behind peoples back or doing something evil without people knowing. In Japan the animal, the weasel is considered as bad luck for reasons that evil and bad luck normally follows it. Your name is very unique Uchiha one also considering it is Japanese and you are Japanese. Very unique,"
Itachi all the sudden stopped and looked to his right side, Yuki (who was standing on his right side) looked to see a quaint looking house hidden deep within the park. It was one of the house that were meant to be impossible to find but once you found it you would never lose it again but with a very Italian look to it.
"It looks like a house from Italy," Yuki whispered.
"Hn," Itachi said hearing her.
"Is this your view on art Uchiha," Yuki said examining the house. It was beautiful, "Strange,"
The Uchiha looked at her. Yuki looked at him.
"There is no story behind it,"
"No story?" Itachi asked raising an eyebrow a millimeter.
"Yes Uchi- Itachi," She corrected herself. He was Itachi just Itachi. "Why did you bring me here?" Yuki asked fully staring at Itachi.
Itachi looked at the building, "For something that has no story behind it, it seems peaceful,"
Yuki laughed lightly, "Ah…it also seems alone Itachi, peaceful but alone. Things that seem alone are never happy, they are envois of how others thing live there life. They keep on watching till they kill to fulfill their desire. Strange how life works isn't. When you look at the house don't you feel upset?
Itachi kept on staring at her, she looked at the house again, "the two trees around it make it seem happy watching them confess their love, the envy," Yuki was now looking at the two trees one either side on had its hand outstretched to other tree while it confess its forbidden love, the other tree stood on its tiptoes trying to answer the question its hand barely touching the others tree outstretched hand, "Like forbidden love, that's too silly I mean forbidden love with trees," Yuki said shaking her head.
Itachi looked at her, "I never saw it that way. Forbidden love between trees, what makes their love forbidden?"
"I don't know, maybe they are like Romeo and Juliet to different family names born to hate each other or maybe they weren't meant for love together because the fates haven't planned out their meeting and now there only choice is to deify fate," Yuki pointed to the tree on the left of the house noticing Itachi's questionable look, "You see the tree on the left she's deciding if really loves the man to go against fate, she is standing on her tiptoes and looking up to heavens praying that all goes right. She is about to take his hand. While the man already knows that he wants her he already deified god and has nothing to lose except for her. He is waiting eagerly for her answer. They might start a war because of their choice" Yuki paused for awhile, "This must sound crazy I mean trees starting war because of forbidden love with each other. It's just a silly thought if ask me,"
"No, I wouldn't have ever thought of it that way, forbidden love, war and destiny. It's something you read about but never see," Itachi said focusing at the tree branches.
"You are looking at it now, though I guess it's just an assumption,"
Itachi nodded, "and the house?"
"Just envious, I almost feel sorry for it," Yuki's arms wrapped around her body in a last attempt to keep her body warm talking about forbidden love between the trees distracted her from how cold it was, "Why did you bring me here?" Yuki looked at Itachi.
He didn't answer. Itachi took of his coat and place it on Yuki's shoulder. Yuki blinked surprised. Itachi pulled out another cigarette and began walking. Yuki sighed she wasn't going to get an answer from him anytime soon she'll try again later tonight.
She held Itachi's coat closer to her freezing body and began to follow. She felt warm wearing his coat it smelled like: his cigarette (she has yet to learn the name), expensive cologne (she was sure it was Calvin Klein) and his own special smell (like something sweet, something she couldn't tell).
Yuki stopped and watched Itachi as he walked ahead, he still smoking his cigarette he looked as though he was lost in his own little world. Yuki quickened her steps and caught up to his long strides once again.
(At the restaurant)
Yuki sat the table bored Itachi had another phone call one in which he had to leave the table to start to the conversation. He claimed it was "business" but it was more likely something other than that, they came on this date because of business.
Yuki sighed (she was sighing a lot since she met the Uchiha curse him) and flipped her phone open than closed it on one was going to text her tonight. Her family was busy, she already talked to Deidara and Sasori would never call her, most likely Aqua heard about her "date" with Itachi from Kisame and wasn't even going to call. Yuki felt truly alone in this battle.
Yuki began thinking about the Akatsuki. Itachi and Kisame were partners, right? They were like Sasori and Deidara, but if she heard correctly from Deidara, Kisame and Itachi got along better than any other Akatsuki member. Kisame gave Itachi respect and watched over Itachi's back (that was why when she first met Kisame he gave the illusion as Itachi's bodyguard when they were equal). If Itachi and Kisame were Akatsuki partners then Kisame should be at this meeting if she stood corrected. Sasori and Deidara went to every Akatsuki meeting together even if they didn't get along and Kazuku and Hidan (a pair that hates each other) were at every meeting together. Why was this case different? Yuki wished had one of her brothers along for the ride even if they were useless in a situation like this. Yuki held in a sigh.
A waiter around her age winked in her direction, Yuki growled she was in no mood to flirt back considering her new forming headache. Itachi was walking back to their table. He was still emotionless his face never showing an ounce of emotion but something had upset him. He took a seat across from Yuki.
"Girlfriend told you upsetting news?" Yuki joked.
"Girlfriend?" Itachi said.
"Yes, she must be upset about something," Yuki kept the joke going.
"She's just called to ask about the date and see how it's going, with the famous Yuki Hunnutsuka," Itachi said catching up with the joke though he looked like he didn't care.
"Tell her not to fret the date with Itachi Uchiha is boring," Yuki said.
Itachi stared at her, "Boring?"
"Yes, boring," Yuki repeated, "Did this meeting actually require us to be alone?"
"Who would of you invited Ms. Yuki," Itachi asked.
"Master Deidara of course," Yuki pretended she was thinking, "maybe Master Sasori and of course on my brothers should have joined us, perhaps Professor Kisame," Yuki learned recently learned Kisame was a Professor in a collage and taught Itachi a few years back fascinating what little information she could get by just bating her eyelashes in Deidara's Direction.
"Professor Kisame unfortunately was busy with his own girlfriend lady aqua," Itachi said mocking her, "Deidara was invited if you wanted him here, but I don't believe you told him,"
Yuki's eyes widen he was good too good. It would take more than a beating her eyelashes to get Itachi to spill information. She wished she invited Deidara to this dinner. A waiter came by handing them their menus.
"Do you like dressing?" Itachi asked without looking at the menu staring at her directly.
"Excuse me?" Yuki asked surprised blushing.
"Do you like dressing on your salad?" Itachi said again. This time Yuki was heard the full sentence.
"I don't know I never ate here before," Yuki said opening the menu to hide her embarrassment.
"Do you like orange or lemon?" Itachi asked.
Yuki gave him a questionable look before answering "Orange?"
"Olive oil or Italian?" He continued.
"Olive oil I do believe,"
This continued for awhile, Itachi asked question Yuki answered still the question.
"Chocolate or vanilla?"
"That's easy," Yuki giggled, "Chocolate, What is with all of these questions,"
Itachi looked at her before a waiter came he placed an order and the waiter walked off taking the menus with him.
Yuki sighed (he made he do it again) this was getting more and more nerve wreaking he never answered her questions just left them hanging in the air. It wasn't like they were important question but it would be nice if he could answer.
Not only that he left her with a feeling that he was a hunter and she was pray they way he constantly watched. Not that she mind his pretty eyes watching her. Yuki shook her head. What was she thinking? She should hate the Uchiha for looking at her but she liked it…a lot.
She tried opening up a conversation with Itachi but each one got shot down considering he would answer her with is normal 'Hn' or never answer if she was luck she could get him to say one word different from 'Hn'. The chances of him starting a conversation were none.
The Salad finally came Yuki stared at it feeling slightly offended. She gave Itachi a look that asked do- you-really-want-me-to-eat-this.
"Wh-Salad Itachi," Yuki asked tilting her head.
"Don't you like salad?" Itachi asked tilting his head mocking Yuki.
Yuki glared at him she deciding to brush off the fact that he mocked her and continue with the salad conversation, "Are you suggesting that I'm fat,"
Itachi looked at her a little surprised but quickly hid it, "No Ms. Hunnutsuka," He said dryly.
"Mr. Uchiha I for one am not fat," she paused for a moment, "At least, I hope not," Yuki mumbled the last part.
"You worry about your looks too much Yuki," Itachi stated.
"Of course I have to look presentable wherever I go. I have to keep up my family's name," A sound of broken glass came from behind Yuki followed by cursing. Yuki looked toward the scene of broken glass.
"Would you like some pepper?" A waiter asked eyeing the distracted Yuki.
"No thanks," Itachi answered.
"How about you miss?" The waiter flirted.
"What?" Yuki said now looking at the waiter.
"Would you like some pepper miss?" The waiter asked shyly was young probably younger then Yuki, with child like features.
"You can add pepper?" Yuki mocked she titled her head, her eyes growing widen giving off the stupid but curious look, "Fascinating," her eyes failed to make her look stupid as had hoped but she managed to get Itachi irritated as she hoped.
Itachi glared at her, and then smirked darkly, not a good sign, "I'm sure she doesn't want pepper," Itachi answered for her, "After all, this is going to be her first time,"
Yuki glared at him. How dare he embarrass her like that? She looked at the boy who looked even more embarrassed than Yuki (if that was possible). The only way to get revenge is through words in other words this game was getting serious and she could not lose.
"The Uchiha is right, I'm afraid I never had pepper with my salad and it very much will be my first time," Yuki smiled at the boy, he winced hearing Itachi's surname.
"I'll come back with the menus for the wine," the boy grumbled sulking off.
Yuki glanced at Itachi, "I'm not a rabbit Itachi," Yuki leaned in closer, "This is food one can find a rabbit nibbling on, even I'm curious as to ask would The White Rabbit eat this?"
"The White Rabbit?" Itachi asked with a microscope smile.
"Yes the White Rabbit, the one from Alice in Wonderland," Yuki said, "I believe you know the story,"
Itachi nodded, "the story was of a girl that got lost in her own dream world, of playing cards," he rested his elbows on the table his hands laced together and ridge of his nose resting on his laced hand. He was hiding his smile.
"I wouldn't same dream world exactly or say playing cards, but yes you know the basics of the story," Yuki took a bite of her salad. It tasted like lettuce but with more flavor, Yuki surprising liked it.
Itachi had stopped smiling a while ago, but they continued talking actually Yuki was talking while Itachi gave her one word sentence or his famous 'Hn' that were all them we meant to tease her. Yuki felt a sense of accomplishment when Itachi said more the two sentence none of them directly at her.
The pasta came after they finished their salad. Itachi had told the waiter to hold on the wine they'll get it during desserts.
"What did you order for dessert?" Yuki asked taking another bite of her salad that again she was surprised she liked it.
A young female waitress came stomping up Yuki and Itachi, "What would you like to drink?" she sneered glaring at Itachi and eyeing Yuki.
Yuki raised an eyebrow this was the first time she ever saw a girl glare at Itachi. (Wasn't he rated one of the hottest man in the world).
"White wine from Alsace," Itachi said hardly looking at the girl, the girl growled (yet another first this day was full of surprise wasn't it?).
"And you?" the waitress looked at Yuki broadly, her voice sounded fake, "what would you like to drink?" She adds after seeing Yuki's questionable look giving Yuki a cheese smile.
"Water is fine," Yuki looked away, "Just water,"
"She'll have the same thing I'm having," Itachi said, "add something sweet with her drink,"
The women growled and stormed off.
"I would appreciate if you would stop ordering my meals Itachi," Yuki hissed taking a drink of water to wash down the pasta, it was now sticky and was hard to swallow.
"You ordered this whole meal," Itachi told her.
Yuki looked at him confused, but bit her lip and would be pointless to argue, "I want something with lots of chocolate and whip cream,"
Itachi nodded.
They sat in silence their wine came. The waitress winked at Yuki as she handed Yuki her here wine. Yuki shook her head. She sipped her wine while Itachi ordered the dessert, a lovely caramel mouse with chocolate filling and whipped cream on the top with vanilla sprinklers. Yuki smiled and started eating the cake. Keeping away from the alcohol she had to stay sober if she was going to play games with Itachi.
"Itachi," she said his name to make sure he was listening. He didn't say anything so she continued, "Why are we having this meeting alone?" she was going to get information one way or another but the strangest thing was that the Jack-in-the-box melody that kept playing in her head.
All around the mulberry bush
Itachi raised an eyebrow, "we are going to talk private matters,"
The monkey chase the weasel
"Ones that doesn't involve the rest of the Akatsuki?" Yuki asked.
The monkey runs into a tree
"The Akatsuki want to start a secret trade without the sound knowing or even the government, the only way is through your clan, the Hunnutsukas',"
Pop goes the weasel
Yuki nodded understanding but she was too afraid to say anything.
"The Hunnutsuka will help cover our tracks, in case the Anbu gets suspicious, and the government trusts your clan well enough,"
"The sound," Yuki whispered she was surprised she found her voice (more surprises but known as what the Uchiha told her now).
What Itachi was saying sound like complete nonsense, why would Itachi want to keep quiet from the sound? It was understandable why Yuki didn't want get involved with the sound and anything to do with them it was too dangerous. Her family would lose everything. She glanced at Itachi it was already too late for getting involved with the sound.
"Why the sound?" That question didn't even come out right, but Itachi seemed to know what she was talking about.
"I'm not a fan of the government," Itachi answered simply like it was obvious answer, "It would be nice if we could sneak the drugs to the sound,"
There was a long silence. Yuki was obviously thinking about everything. She titled her head opened her mouth and closed it again. Loss in words; Itachi had won.
The Jack-in-the-box rhyme kept playing in her head.
Every night when I go out,
the monkeys on the table,
Take a stick and knock it off,
pop goes the weasel,
She was now treading on dangerous waters this was no longer a game. How many times has Yuki tried to avoid the subject tonight but it was the topic was hard to avoid. Why did she come than? She looked at Itachi. She came to play a game the monkey was still on the table. He hasn't won yet.
She reached for the glass of wine and gulped it down; she has such a bed headache only the alcohol is the cure.
Itachi raised an eyebrow surprised, Yuki placed the glass on the table shaking her head everything was tilting Yuki hissed to herself she had to stay sober for this meeting she couldn't get drunk. The waitress came by again frowning; a little disappointed to see the empty glass of wine that belonged to Yuki.
"More wine," The waitress asked.
"No more wine Layla," Itachi said, "We're leaving,"
"I'll be paying half," Yuki said searching through her purse. She pulled out her dept card and handed it to Itachi (the alcohol was getting to her she was in realty wanted to place the card in Leila's hand). Yuki shook her head again everything was tilting. She shouldn't of have had that cup of wine no matter how desperate she was and it didn't even help.
"It's not polite for girl to pay for her dinner on a date," Itachi said.
"True but this is mostly business or I wouldn't of said yes," Yuki said.
"Touché," Itachi said, "but you're still not paying," He handed Yuki her card back when the 'Layla' (the waitress) left.
"Not fair," Yuki growled "I was going to pay half,"
Leila came back handing Itachi his credit card. Yuki grabbed her purse and stood up quickly. She grabbed the table waiting for everything to stop spinning. What was with all the colors?
She felt something warm covering her skin. She glanced at Itachi as he hovered over; he had given his coat to her again.
"I'll walk you home," He spoke emotionally.
Yuki's body froze. She wasn't going to let Itachi know where she lived or anybody else for that matter, just her family.
"No, I'm fine. Let us go to the instead," Yuki said quickly. She turned to look at Itachi who was now staring at her suspiciously.
Yuki sighed last thing she wanted was to cause suspicious but that didn't seem to be going the way she would have of like, actually it seemed to going in vain. Yuki began walking towards the door.
"Let's go," Itachi said.
Yuki nodded her face now red. Why was she blushing? The Uchiha should mean nothing to her.
(At the Park again)
"You want us to open a secret trade with the sound for the Akatsuki without the government knowing," Yuki repeated, "and without the sound government knowing either. This isn't going to be easy. We also have to consider the money fact. It's going to be expensive,"
Yuki looked at the abandon house. They were back at the old house again. They both sat on the on the bench across from the house.
"I considered that," Itachi said starting another cigarette. The toxic smoke filled the air that surrounds them.
"10% of the profit," Yuki said.
Itachi chocked on some smoke and began coughing. Yuki looked at Itachi smiling at him, "I am joking, I believe 4-5% will do fine my clan is risking a lot. Some of the money will be going to bribing some of the inside ANBU my family knows, and the price of all the items we will need. If you consider the price of getting caught, my clan that is, I'm sure the Akatsuki could hide pretty fast if are to get caught,"
"Three," Itachi said.
"Four," Yuki said stubbornly, "I already explained my reasons,"
"Joking?" Itachi asked changing the subject.
Yuki smiled, "This date was getting serious talking about the sound and everything. I just wanted to lighten the mood a slight bit. Don't you agree," she said tilting her head in a mocking fashion. She blinked a few times, looking naïve and stupid in an obvious way of trying to make Itachi mad, "How exactly do you know my clan can keep quiet about the drugs? I've been questioning about that,"
Itachi stood up and leaned closer to Yuki. She looked at him surprised it seemed a little out of character for him. Itachi smirked noticing the blush, his hands on either side of her head. Their breaths mingled together, Yuki could feel Itachi's hot breath on her cheek. Yuki closed her eyes and shook her head, thinking of Deidara and how much she would betray him. Itachi's hand touched her waist. Yuki looked at him surprised again.
"Sasori is very good at gathering information," Itachi said pulling out a brown folder from his coat pocket.
"What?" Yuki said staring at Itachi. Her blood turned cold, that wasn't what she thought it is. At least she hoped it wasn't.
"He found things that the press couldn't find," Itachi continued
"oh no," Yuki sighed, "we covered all that information up for a reason, unfortunately, my brother didn't do so well," Yuki explained feeling a pit in her stomach, "And?" Yuki questioned barely in a whisper.
"Let's say we were surprised, by the information he had found," Itachi whispered back.
Yuki tried to reach for the envelope, Itachi stepped back waving the envelope near her face.
Yuki growled irritated as she tried to reach for the envelope again. Itachi only moved away from her envelope still in hand. Yuki shook Itachi's coat off and lunged for the envelope, Itachi moved again.
"Those don't belong to you," Yuki said stupidly. Yuki mentally kicked herself for saying something stupid, "Think before you speak," Yuki mumbled to herself.
"How much times have you to prison Yuki?" Itachi opened the folder pulling out sheets of paper.
"Once," Yuki said reaching for the envelope. Itachi's arm snaked around her waist in an attempt to stop her.
"For what reason?" Itachi asked holding the envelope above their heads.
"That's none of your concern," Yuki growled.
"It explains here you were in for attempted murder," Itachi was now looking at her.
"That's a lie," Yuki growled. Damn it, why did Itachi have to be so damn tall.
"You weren't arrested for attempted murder?" Itachi questioned sounding mildly rude but enormously sarcastic. Whatever happened to the polite jackass?
"Well yes I was arrested," Yuki said biting lips. She glanced at Itachi, he only raised an eyebrow telling her to go on, "But I didn't kill her or even tried," Yuki continued.
"Killed," Itachi said not asked.
"I know she died," Yuki sighed. She stopped reaching for the envelope, "she had died a week ago, after she filed the report for harassment," Itachi let go of Yuki's waist and flipped to another page.
"Her body was brutally beaten with a metal pipe but the strange thing is that they couldn't find the pipe, or who killed her," Itachi said moving the papers away from Yuki, as soon as she reached for them, "Who killed her Yuki?"
"I didn't," Yuki growled her fingers brushed the papers. Itachi moved it higher so it was over his head again.
"I know you didn't," Itachi said glaring at her. She was like a monkey. She really wanted these papers.
Yuki stared at him, "What?" She stopped jumping for a second to catch her breath.
"Who killed her Yuki?" Itachi asked.
"What gave the idea that I might know the killer?" Yuki made one final leap only causing, herself to lose balance, Itachi caught her as they both tumbled down to the ground.
Yuki reached for the envelope, "Got it," she whispered to herself but mostly to Uchiha who was lying under, being too preoccupied with getting the documents she hadn't paid attention to the position she was in the Uchiha.
"Sorry," Yuki blushed getting off of Itachi as fast she could. She held the documents near her face hiding her blush. Why was she blushing? God, she acting stupid!
"I didn't ask if you knew him Yuki," Itachi said reaching for the documents.
"Oh," Yuki looked away her face still red. It seemed to ridicules to say something now.
"Who is the murder?" Itachi asked again his patience wearing thin.
"Shouldn't it explain-," Yuki paused, "This is none of your concern. Remember we came here tonight to talk business and not about murder or my personal life,"
"You win Yuki," Itachi said tearing the documents sheet s into little pieces, "40-60%?" Itachi asked, changing the subject, "we'll be losing more money than we are profiting,"
"Up and down the city road,
Up and down the city road,
In and out the eagle,
That's how the money goes,
Pop goes the weasel," Yuki sang, "I do release that Itachi and I'm sorry but the good news would be marking money,"
"Your clan owns most of the ports in Japan," Itachi stated.
"That is correct," Yuki turned towards Itachi, "but if we trade by sea you must be at the port when the ships arrive, the government does and will check the ships when are looking the other way,"
"I thought you have the governments trust," Itachi growled disappointed.
"We do, have the governments trust. It's the counsel who gives my clan a hard time, they trust us to a point," Yuki rolled her eyes.
"Hm, what about planes?" Itachi asked watching a plane overhead.
"Too expensive and risky if anything were to go wrong we would lose a lot of money…" Yuki bit her lips, "Now that I think about it we…my clan in particular would lose everything and with the latest terrorist attacks we could find America on our tales,"
"Hn," Itachi answered thinking over what she had just said.
"Shipping will still be expensive, but less risky I know a few men that will take money under the table. Knowing them they can sneak the ships past and harbors if we need to incase something does go wrong, hey will know how to handle the problem," Yuki paused, "If they can't get to Japan my clan has a port in Australia, they can hide out there for awhile,"
"You had this all planned out," Itachi looked at her his face emotionless but his eyes showed he was amused.
"Of course I did," Yuki glance at Itachi, "I know you had a plan for this date,"
"Hn," Itachi answered.
Yuki giggled, "You seem upset master-Itachi, might I ask why?"
"Hn, how much can your ships holds?" Itachi asked.
"Oh, for the drugs, I would say 500 pounds, we have to trade other things to hide the drugs," Yuki bit her bottom lips.
"Remember this, Yuki, every penny counts," Itachi growled.
"A penny for a spool of thread,
A penny for a needle,
that's where the money goes,
Pop goes the weasel," Yuki fainted.
Itachi growled at her, "Are you done?"
"No," Yuki sang back, "I have one more,
Half a pound of truepenny rice,
Half a pound of treacle,
That's how the money goes,
Pop goes the weasel, Isn't it amusing Itachi a whole nursery rhymes detected to you,"
Itachi stood up than helped Yuki up, who was still humming the jack-in-the-box tune.
"You're annoying," Itachi told her his hand cupped her cheek.
Yuki only smiled, ready for a kiss or some sort of miracle; the sprinklers turned on getting them both wet.
Yuki now sat on the bench again soaking wet and shivering. Some date this turned out to be. Itachi stood next to her but he was too busy cursing at the sprinkler to even talk to her.
"Take my coat, I'll walk you home," Itachi demanded more then offered, he was walking away.
'Home?' Yuki thought grabbing his coat and followed him. She didn't want Itachi to know where she lived.
"I can walk myself back home?" Yuki myself back home?" Yuki said she handed him his coat.
Itachi stopped, grabbing his coat from her hand, he looked at her his face once again failing to show emotion, "It's not safe for a young lady to walk alone," Itachi smirked at her.
Yuki shivered not from the cold, no, she shivered because Itachi's smirk was like the devils smile. Great, now she was dating the devil. Yuki stifled back a laugh before she burst into laughter.
Itachi only glanced at her; Yuki glanced back at him before laughing again.
"I'm terribly sorry, Itachi," Yuki said between laughter, "I have terrible luck when I'm with you don't I,"
Itachi raised an eyebrow questionably.
Yuki managed to stifle her laughter again; "walk me half way," Yuki said changing the subject.
Itachi sighed, "I have a feeling you would get us purposely,"
"Glad, we finally agree on something," Yuki smiled. She shivered again this time because she was cold and wet. Her dress now felt heavy from the weight and the fabric clung on to her body. Her hair was a few shades darker and was clinging on to her cheek.
Itachi began walking again, he was also dripping wet the fabric of his shirt clung on to his muscles. He looked hot, Yuki blushed.
What is she thinking? Itachi hot? She had a boyfriend didn't she? She had a lovely boyfriend waiting for her phone call when she gets back home?
"Let's go," Yuki walked past Itachi, Deidara now occupying her thoughts, she would call him when she gets back home.
They stopped in front of the building a block away from Yuki's house. Yuki glanced at Itachi and smiled satisfactorily at him, swing her body so she now facing him, Yuki looked at him fully, "I'm fine with walking on my own now, Itachi," she said his name just to mock him.
A light breeze shifted in the air, Yuki shivered and sneezed.
Itachi placed his coat on her again. His face inches away from hers.
She could now smell his colon god how much she loved it. And how pretty were his eyes. She shook her head. No, she had an already had a boyfriend.
Itachi smirked. He was smirking again. She hated it when he teased her, in his case it was whenever he smirked.
"You know you forgot to sing one last nursery rhyme," Itachi said tilting Yuki's chin so she was looking in to his eyes. He leaned in Yuki felt a tingling sensation on her lip. She closed her eyes waiting for something to happen.
"I've no time to plead and pine,
I've no time to wheedle,
Kiss you quick them I'm gone,
Where is the weasel?" Itachi whispered.
Yuki felt warm lips on her temple.
She opened her eyes to see an empty street. She frowned, where did Itachi run off to? Yuki's fingers brushed her temple where Itachi kissed her and smiled.
He liked playing games too. Well this could be enjoyable.
Yeah I still think I got the percentage wrong on the trade offers. If anybody can help me on this please do and don't be afraid to write the parentage is wrong. Does anybody know a no good movies concerning these issues then tell me. I could use the movie as research.
Yes I do like fairytales and Nursery Rhymes. And it will become an over scene theme. I kind of surprised that nobody once teased Itachi about his name using that song. I know I did. ^^.
