Healing a Lonely Murderer

Itachi Love Story

Later that Week at the Akatsuki

Mayu's POV:

Day's had passed by and the same thing went on every day. Since I was still in training, I couldn't go on missions yet. But everything was just so boring here! I've just been watching TV nonstop and occasionally throwing kunai's across the room. Things were getting pretty boring in here. And boring as in –willing to slice off an arm or two for fun- but I won't do that. Too much blood involved. I was laying on a couch in the living room when Sasori came in.

Me: "Hey Sasori! Wanna sit with me?" he looked just as bored as I did, but then again, didn't he always look bored?

Sasori: "Yeah sure." I sat up and he sat next to me. I started flicking the channels.

Me: "What do you do here for fun. Seriously, I think I might just cut off someone's hair for a good laugh." Sasori touched his own hair in defense mode and laughed.

Sasori: "Everyone here has they're own hobby, for me it's playing with my puppets. Deidara's is making clay models and playing pranks on people." I squealed in delight as he said that and dropped the remote.

Me: "PRANKS!!!" I yelled. It was the most logical thing to do! "Why hadn't I thought of that!?!" Sasori sighed.

Sasori: "Leave me out of this." Just then I heard running coming this way. It was Deidara.

Deidara: "DID SOMEONE SAY PRANKS? I'M BORED OUT OF MY MIND!" he yelled as he ran in. My face lit up as I got up and ran towards him.

Me: "YES! YOU HAVE NO IDEA." We both calmed ourselves down and started whispering. When we were done Deidara had an evil smirk on his face and I had to bite my lip so I wouldn't do an evil laugh. We set our plans into action and started off on our different ways.

15 minutes later I heard a scream from Kisame's room as I made the finishing touches of 'Part 3' of the plan. I walked out of the room and went into the living room. I started laughing hard as Deidara ran in and hid in the kitchen. Kisame ran in a few seconds later with a very angry look on his face. It was priceless. Imagine a very mad shoeless fish, holding an unwrapped katana, running after a blonde guy who's laughing his ass off. Simply Priceless. Kisame looked at me with an accusing look. Which I thought was preposterous because I did absolutely nothing wrong, same goes for Deidara. Smile [if you didn't catch the sarcasm

Me: "Did I do something wrong Kisame-san?" I asked innocently, even going as far as twirling my hair with my finger. He wasn't buying it. Blonde hair poked out from the kitchen and Kisame went after it. Seconds went by and Kisame came out dragging a laughing Deidara by the wrist. Knowing that I had something to do with it, he grabbed my wrist with his other hand and dragged us both down the hallway. The whole time Deidara were looking at each other and laughing hysterically while Kisame was huffing and puffing. The scene seemed to draw some other members out their rooms. Sasori and Zetzu came outside they're doors and followed our dragging forms out of curiosity. Everyone reached Kisame's room and Sasori and Zetzu fell to the floor laughing and twitching. I was clutching Deidara to keep myself from falling while he was hanging on to the doorframe.

I bet you want an explanation. Well this is what Kisame' room looked like. Deidara printed out Kisame/Itachi fan fiction and Kisame/any kind of other fish fan fiction pictures and posted them all over his walls. Dei also made a clay model of an Itachi blow up doll. To the right of the room was a fish tank with a goldfish labeled "Uncle Frank". And finally on the ceiling of the room marks: "I'M NOT A SHARK. I'M A FISH." And you see a picture of him swimming with a pack other blue fish. How Deidara managed to do all this in 15 is beyond me. I gave him a high five after I managed to contain myself.

Deidara: holding up fish bait while laughing: "Does fishy want a snack, yeah?" this sent Kisame over the edge, he yelled loudly and we decided to run. Going in different directions and running down the halls. I looked behind me to see a very angry Kisame running behind me. I ran faster, and I saw a cloaked man with black hair walking in the direction that I was going. Itachi. I ran in front of him still panting. He looked at me with a 'What did you do?' look. I pointed behind him. Itachi turned around to see a furious Kisame bumping into him. But Itachi didn't move. 'Wow must be pretty strong to not fall backwards.' I clutched his shoulders and poked my head from the side of him.

Kisame: "Sorry Itachi-san. But this has nothing to do with you, this is Mayu's fight." I squeezed Itachi's shoulders tighter letting him know I didn't want to fight him. Honestly, I was kinda scared of him because he was so mad.

Itachi: "No, I think this is mine." Kisame's turned to fear as he turned around and huffed. I sighed loudly and let go of Itachi. I slumped against the wall and ran a hand through my hair. Itachi turned around and looked at me.

Itachi: "What did you do to get him that pissed." I looked at him and laughed. If I told him Dei put ItachixKisame fan fiction on his walls, he'll kill both of us.

Me: "Oh, Deidara and I just redecorated."

Itachi: raising an eyebrow, "Oh? Is that all?" Gosh he's so cute with his facial expressions. And his body, let's just say is VERY well built. I promised myself that one day I will make him make a full smile even if I have to do it by force.

Me: I smiled and titled my head to the side. "Oh yes. That's all." And that's when I heard Sasori scream. I squealed and Itachi sighed and grabbed my hand to run. I was surprised and Itachi thought of this as a game.

What was so bad about Sasori? He seemed harmless and not to mention skinny. Couldn't hurt a fly, right? We ran in the opposite direction of the scream. Suddenly I felt myself being lifted up. I had no control over my body. I heard Itachi say 'Chakra Strings' and I turned my head to see Sasori standing at the opposite of the hallway moving his fingers slightly. 'WTF?' I thought and he slowly pulled the strings towards him. Itachi wrapped his arms around my waist and pulled me back from the force pulling me. All of a sudden a cute little clay bird flew between Sasori and me. 'Aww, how cute.' I thought. Just then, It blew up and I fell back into Itachi. I blushed slightly as he let me go.

Me: "Arigato, Itachi." I said still blushing. He just nodded. I looked behind him to see a very grinning Deidara. He had a very evil joyful look on his face. 'Looks like he likes to see things blow up.' I thought. We laughed and all 4 of us made our way to Sasori's room. And boy was it a sight to see. I started laughing and holding my stomach from the pain.

Me: "You did ALL this, Deidara?" I asked in disbelief and he nodded and smiled. Itachi was dumbfounded. He hadn't seen what Dei did to Kisame's room and he didn't know what to say. Sasori however, was not a happy camper.

Sasori: "Do you two want to die today?" he asked calmly but threatening. I shivered and made a step back beside Itachi, getting ready to hide behind him if necessary.

Now let me explain, Deidara got 2 people to prank and he picked Kisame and Sasori. We already saw what he did to Kisame and here's what he did to Sasori. He managed get hundreds of Barbie dolls and clouded them on the floor. Every time you stepped on one it said: 'Wanna play dolls Sasori?' I'm guessing that's what Sasori first noticed. Dei also posted Sasori x Sakura fan fiction all over his walls similar to Kisame's. In the middle of the room, there were 2 puppets that looked like they could be Sasori's parents, making scolding noises and saying, 'We love you, Sasori!' Dei really is a genius. From now on, I'm treating him with respect. Takes a lot of thought to pull something like that off.

Sasori made another angry scream/growl as he stepped on another Barbie. Dei and I laughed and Itachi chuckled. I gave myself a mental pat on the back for making him laugh. But then Sasori used his chakra strings to pick up 10 Barbie dolls and threw them at us. I started to run out of his door while laughing.

Itachi: "Seeing that the pranks are over, I'm going back to my room." Itachi had started to walk back to his room. I giggled and he looked back over. "What?"

Me: "Oh nothing." And with that I grabbed Deidara by the sleeve and ran. Once we got as far away from Sasori's room I stopped and we were both out of breath. "He's gonna kill me, for sure."

Dei: "It couldn't have been that bad, yeah?"

Me: "Oh you'll see. Give it a few seconds." We waited a few seconds and then we heard glass break and a loud growl. I immediately hid behind Deidara.

Dei: trying to push me back in front of him. "Oh no, I'm not saving you from the weasel. He might kill me." Just then Itachi came into the room and looked at me with an evil glare. Boy, I've never seen him this angry. Let me just tell you what I did.

First I had his closet filled with pink dresses. Marked on the closet door it says, 'Pink matches your eyes' in big pink letters. On the ceiling it says, 'I LOVE YOU ITACHI!' with a picture of Sasuke next to it. To the right of the room was a cage with 3 weasels in it with a label that said, 'Itachi's family' and one of the weasels is labeled, 'Sasuke'. On bathroom mirror marked with red lipstick has a picture of the Uchiha symbol and, 'Mr. Ping Pong'. Then I got 20 Kisame's Chibi's and placed it on his bed.

By now Deidara had sprinted down the hallway leaving Itachi and me in the living room. In a flash I was slammed against the wall and Itachi was holding my wrist above my head. I smiled.

Me: "And what did I do to earn this precious moment, Itachi-kun?" I said innocently. Yes, I called him Itachi-kun. It was all for affect. My hopes are that he would get soft and not kill me.

Itachi: "I'm not letting you off that easy." He said his face in mine.

Me: "Aww, your not gonna kill me? Why, thank you Itachi-kun!" I smiled. This was beginning to be a game. He smirked.

Itachi: "If I killed you, then who would clean up my room?" he said as he let me go but before I could hit the ground he picked me up and slung me over his shoulder. He started to walk towards his room. I kicked and bawled but he wouldn't let me go. Finally I just huffed and folded my arms. He wouldn't want to admit it. But he's getting softer with me. I smiled as I felt like I was getting closer to see him smile one day. We got to his room and he set me down.

Me: "You know Itachi, you starting to get soft with me." I smirked as I went to the bathroom and took out some cleaning supplies.

Itachi: "Oh really? How so?" I blushed.

Itachi's POV:

Hm. She says I'm starting to get soft. Well in a way she's right and she's wrong. Yes, I admit I have been getting a little softer since she's been here but it's only her. What was it about her that just makes me want to hug her. I really have to contain my emotions. Everyday I feel my smirks getting slightly wider.

Me: "Oh really? How so?" I asked her, taking out all the pink dresses and burning them with a jutsu. She blushed. She looks cute when she blushes…Ahh! I might need to stay away from her for a while.

Mayu: "Hm, I don't know." She said turning away from me. I walked up to her and turned her face towards me. Her eyes looked away.

Me: "Look at me." I told her. Hey eyes slowly made they're way back to mine.

Mayu's POV:

His eyes really are beautiful. Wow. They're red with black specks in it. I mean when I first saw him I thought his eyes were unique. But wow. I catch staring into them, eventually getting lost and I had to look away and take a step back.

Me: "You've just gotten nicer that's all." I said as I nervously wiped the paint off of Itachi's closet. I glanced at him. He was like staring at into space. I turned to him.

Me: "Something wrong?"

Itachi: "Hm." I wonder what's wrong with him. He seems to be deep in thought. I tried to read his mind but his face told me nothing. Minutes went by and I sighed and opened the cage with the weasels in it. My eyes glowed purple and I transported the weasels to a spot far away from here in the woods. An hour went by and we were finished cleaning. I plopped down on the floor, exhausted. He laid himself on the couch. I got up and sat next to him. His head inches away from my lap. I tried to focus on the TV but I had the urge to touch his hair and I did. He didn't move muscle. His eyes met mine.

Itachi: "What are you doing?" he said but he didn't tell me to stop. I answered with a straight face.

Me: "Playing with your hair." What he did next surprised me. Big Time. He pulled the scrounge out of his ponytail, letting his long black hair let loose.

Itachi: "Better?" he said as he smirked and looked towards me.

Me: I smiled, "Hai." And I ran my hand through his long hair. So silky and smooth. His head moved to my lap as I kept playing with his hair. He fell asleep there. I watched him as he slept. So peaceful, and not evil and rude like he used to be a few days ago. He's definitely changed. I wonder what was the cause. As he slept I felt something in my heart. What was this feeling? Could it be…NO! THAT'S IMPOSSIBLE. I can't love him. At least not yet. But I do admit I like him. After a half hour his eyes opened and he stirred.

Me: I smiled at him. [I just couldn't help but smile when I looked at him "Had a good sleep?" he simply nodded and his stomach growled. I laughed and gently pushed him off of me so I could get up.

Me: giggling, "Come on, let's get some dinner."

Itachi's POV:

I…don't know how to explain it. Maybe I'm just fond of his girl but it's more than that. Now I feel like I always want to be near her, holding her, making sure she's okay. It's too early to call it love but I do like her, but just a little.
