Healing a Lonely Murderer

Itachi Love Story

Itachi's POV:

Hm. She's very…different. I don't think she's aware of how fast her moods change. This morning she was swearing her ass off and now she's hopping like a 6-year old. Not to mention she's attractive and self-centered, but also strong and threatening.

Me: "Your lucky I'm letting you do this." I said to her. I wanted to let her know that I couldn't swat her hand away because I thought that what she was doing was amusing, but she can't go it again, ever.

Mayu: "Why not? I think it's fun swinging your arm." She said with a sweet smile. I'm guessing that know she removed a couple more years from her personality again. She must be acting like she's 5 right now.

Me: "Hm." We reached my door and I let go of her hand. She seemed disappointed. I opened my door and just like magic, a smile appeared on her face and she grinned. She walked inside and looked around. She gazed at every piece of furniture like it was gold. I didn't see what was so special about it.

Mayu: "Mhm." She hummed.

Me: "What?"

Mayu: "So this is the great Itachi Uchiha's room? The one that no one except himself is allowed into." She smiled and kept going, "Well, besides me."

Me: "Lucky you." I said sarcastically. So what? She gets to spend the night in my room. I'm sure its no big deal.

Mayu: "Okay, so how is this gonna work? Only one bed." She complained.

Me: "Simple. You sleep on the floor." She started whining. I walked over to my dresser and took off my cloak. 'Too hot in here anyway.' I thought. Turning back at her, she shrieked. Fear was dancing around in her turquoise eyes and I walked a step closer to find out what was wrong. She started trembling.

Me: "I-Itachi, p-please s-tay a-away from me." looking like she was about to cry, I stepped back. What was wrong with her? I didn't even touch her, all I did was take off my…maybe I should put it back on. I walked back over to the dresser and slipped back on my cloak. I turned around again to see Mayu sitting on my bed, playing with her fingers, seemingly normal.

Mayu's POV

Oh great. Now he's gonna want an explanation. Well I'm not telling him. I just met him…didn't he kidnap me? Yes, he did. I'm not going to trust him. Not now. Not ever. I looked up from my hands to see Itachi, staring at me, with a kind of concerned look on his face. I was going to say sorry but he cut me off.

Itachi: "Listen Mayu, I'm sorry. I should have changed in the bathroom." He picked up some clothes from his closet and went in the bathroom. Wow, Itachi said sorry. What am I gonna do now? Pretend like it never happened. This is gonna be hard. I was still thinking when Itachi came out the bathroom door with a short-sleeve shirt and long pants. Nothing special. I guess I'll have to say something.

Me: "Itachi, it wasn't your fault. It's just that…" I had to make up a lie fast. "I'm not that comfortable with guys taking off they're clothes in front of me. I'm sorry." he saw right through my lie and I knew he could terrorize me with questions but he let it go. I mentally thanked him for not torturing m. He sat on the couch and turned on the TV. 'I should change too' I thought, but then I realized something. 'Oh look no clothes.' I was getting frustrated.

Itachi: "Something the matter?" looking up from the TV.

Me: "Ugh. Clothes. I was just gonna slip one of your shirts but I…" I really didn't want to say the word. Itachi smirked. He knew what I wanted but he pretended like he didn't.

Itachi: "Want what, Mayu?" his smirk still plastered. Gosh, he was toying with me. Must be payback for tricking him into holding my hand.

Me: "Ugh! You know I hate you Uchiha! First you kidnap me, make me join and now your not even gonna give me some panties." I blushed and covered my mouth. Itachi was having a fun time with my problem.

Itachi: ignoring the fact that I said I hated him, "You want panties, eh? Well why didn't you just say so?" I blushed a deeper red and turned around so he couldn't see my face.

Me: "This isn't funny, Itachi." I said to him.

Itachi: he got up and chuckled, "Oh come on, I was only having fun." Then he thought for a moment. "You're the only female here. So no one else would have underwear for you." I sighed. Guess I'm gonna have to wash it and wear nothing under shorts for the night. Ugh. Without asking him, I went to his dresser and dug threw his clothes, and picked out one of his shirts and walked to the bathroom. I washed my underwear and changed into his shirt and the shorts that I wore underneath my ninja outfit. I kept my bra on and took the bun out of my hair, allowing my hair to loose free. I walked out the bathroom to see Mickey cuddled up on Itachi's bed. 'He must of came back while I was changing.' I thought. Itachi looked up from his TV to look at me and then went back to watching whatever it was he was watching.

Me: "You know, Uchiha. I'm not settling for sleeping on the floor." I put a hand on my hip.

Ita: "Hm. You're not sleeping in my bed." He declared.

Me: "Mmhmm, we'll see about that." I dashed towards the bed and practically scared Mickey out of his mind. I went under the blankets and lay there. Realizing how sleepy I was, I told Itachi "Night!" and fell asleep with Mickey cuddled near me.

Itachi's POV:

She could of just slept on the couch, or in another person's room, but besides that. There's something wrong with her. "A fear of guys taking of they're clothes?" that can't be a phobia. Even if it was, something must have happened to her in her past to make her so scared like that. Everyone in the Akatsuki knows she's not a nervous scared little girl. She's actually kind of threatening. She told me 'night' and went to sleep. 'Oh great, now where am I going to sleep?' I thought. 'I shouldn't let her believe that I'll give up my bed so easily, but since she already stole it, I'm gonna sleep in it too.' I turned off the TV and crawled on the opposite side of the bed and went to sleep.

Mayu's POV:

I woke up without opening my eyes. 'Wow, this bed really is warm.' I said as I cuddled something that had a lot of heat. Another 10 seconds went by until I realized something. This 'thing' has no fur, so it couldn't have been Mickey. 'Oh no.' I thought as I mentally slapped myself and opened my eyes. Yeah, I was infact glomping Itachi's arm and he was awake. He was laying on his back with me on my side, laying on his arm. He was staring at me, but he didn't seem too surprised. A blush crept up my face as I let go of his arm and backed away a little.

Me: "I'm sooo sorry! I thought It was Mickey and…" but he shut me up.

Itachi: "It's sok. Halfway through the night you grabbed my arm and I just went back to sleep. But I'm a very light sleeper." He said non-drowsily. I yawned and nodded my head. Turning so my back was facing him, I said, "What time is it?"

Itachi: "5 o'clock."

Me: "5 o'clock? Whoa, that's early." I yawned again, "Okay, good night." But he just got up and shook me by both my shoulders to wake again. Before I could say 'What?' he said that I have training today.

Me: "Awww." I wined. "Nowwww?"

Itachi: "Yes. Now hurry up. I'm training you."

Me: still half asleep, "Well, at least it's fish boy…" I got up and walked wobbly to the bathroom. Grabbing my now dried underwear, I changed into my ninja outfit. [I decided that the cloak didn't strike my fancy and that I wasn't going to wear it. If I was forced to, I would probably unstitch the fabric and make it into a ninja dress that reached before my knees I put my brown hair into a ponytail with only one kunai stuck in it. Even with my hair up, it still reached halfway down my back. My bangs poked out from the ponytail and covered the sides of my face. I walked out and put my ninja shoes on. Itachi had his cloak on and was putting on his shoes also.

Itachi: "Let's go." He said as he walked out the door. I saw Mickey still sleeping on the bed and I let him sleep in. I followed Itachi out the door. We walked outside of the headquarters and walked around to the back on the hideout. We reached the training grounds. It was a clearing in a part of the woods with trees that were marked with kunai slashes. 'Poor things.' I thought as I promised myself to heal them after training.

Itachi: "Okay, today is Taijutsu." He got into a fighting stance. I did to. As I was about to turn my eyes purple, "No Kekkei Genkai and no putting chakra into your hits." I started whining. That was practically my whole game. First toying with my opponent with hits built with chakra and then following that by using my Daichi Kengen [yes that's the name of your Kekkei Genkai. Me: "Fine."

My POV:

Training began. You faked a punch to his face and followed it by a kick but Itachi grabbed your foot and threw you at least 15 feet. You landed gracefully on your hands and ran towards him at amazing speed. Vicious fighting started and out of the 20 hits you attempted to give him, only one hand managed to punch him in the chest. And two of his punches hit your stomach. An hour went by and it seemed as if barely any damage was being done. You stood 3 feet away ready to aim a kick at his face when he spoke up.

Itachi: breathing a little heavy, "Okay, that's enough for today." You were breathing a little heavy too but you walked over to a tree and leaned against it. It was obvious that you had more wounds than him but all you had was a pain in your stomach from being hit 2 or 3 times. Since you didn't use any of your chakra, you made your hand glow green put a hand on your stomach to heal the minor injuries that the fight caused. Getting up and facing the tree, your hand touched the Kunai marks of the tree and your eyes turned purple. The marks disappeared and the tree's deathly appearance turned into a beautiful sakura tree with pink flowers. You smiled to yourself and picked one flower. Turning around, you saw Itachi looking at the Sakura tree, partially mesmerized. You walked up to Itachi and looked at him. He didn't seem to have any injuries. He returned his gaze to you and looked at you weirdly.

Itachi: "Looking for something?"

Me: "Yes, injuries, but you don't seem to have any."

Itachi: "Hm. Who taught you to become a medic ninja?" he asked you as he started walking back towards the headquarters.

Me: "One of my guardians, Tsunade. She wasn't my guardian for very long but she taught me how to heal all kinds of injuries, perform surgery and to force chakra into my hands and feet." When you were about 8, Tsunade took you as her apprentice and as a guardian; you spent 2 years with her and became a Medic Nin when you were 10. Everyone was surprised at how fast you learned new things.

Itachi: "Hm. One of the legendary Sanin." He said. "Tsunade can't heal plants. So how did you learn that?"

Me: "Combined the Daichi Kengen with healing." You said it like it was the most normal thing in the world to do, and turned your eyes back to turquoise.

Itachi: "What else can you do?" He said as he started walking back towards headquarters. You walked beside him and looked up to him and smiled.

Me: "Now if I told you that then where's the fun in having an actual fight with you. Hm?" The sharingan user slightly smirked as he turned his gaze back to the door of the hide out.
