Chapter Twenty Seven
Hermione opened her eyes slowly and was met with her boyfriend's gleaming onyx eyes. "Hey..," he said, smiling, stroking her brow and tracing a line to her cheek. Hermione shivered slightly at the touch, mainly because she hadn't been touched like that since Lee had injured her so greatly with his attacks.(Lee: Tell me, Emily-san, do I kick ass? Emily: I'm afraid to admit it...but yes, you did kick major ass. Lee: HELL YEAH!!) She smiled back at him, her eyes reflecting the happiness she felt to finally see him after all of her time in the hospital bed she was about to be released from.
"I heard...about what happened. To your ribs." She pointed at the bandages around Itachi's chest; his chest was bare because it was hot in the hideout of S-ranked criminals, despite the winter weather outside. Itachi laughed lightly.
"Oh these? This is nothing compared to what you went through. Can you spell "concussion"?"
"C-o-n-c-u-s-s-i-o-n. Concussion. Don't worry, I know," Hermione said, poking Itachi in the forehead.(Emily and Sasuke: The 'Uchiha' poke. TenTen and Neji: The 'what'?) Itachi smirked, poking Hermione back in the forehead. She coughed a bit, and his expression turned from joyful to concerned.
"Are you sure you're okay? Even though it's been about a month, you should seriously consider--" Hermione placed two fingers on Itachi's lips and he abruptly stopped.
"Itachi-kun, do you honestly want me to stay in bed forever? I was fine 2 weeks ago. You just told the doctors in this jacked up organization to keep me in here. Remember?" She poked him in the forehead again, but he made no effort to return it. He just looked to the side, keeping his gaze away from her's. "What's wrong? Aren't you happy that I'm fine?" He didn't answer, and the two lovers were left in an awkward silence.
Itachi finally spoke up after taking several deep breaths. "I promised you that nothing would ever make you feel the pain that you had to experience when you lost your clan as long as you were with me, didn't I? Well, look at you! You were just in bed for month because of me!" Itachi got up from the chair he was in beside Hermione's bed and slammed the side of his fist on the wall. "Do you realize that you could've died?!" Hermione just sat there, propped up by several pillows, and stared at her boyfriend in deep concern.
'I think he forgot that I went through the same turmoil when I thought that he was dead in the Land of Waves. Men...No, not men, my man, Itachi Uchiha...' She swung her legs over the edge of her bed and touched her foot to the cold stone floor for the first time in a month. She swiftly walked towards Itachi and wrapped her arms around him, pressing her chest against his back. "Itachi-kun, I know that. Every shinobi and kunoichi that has ever existed and exists today knows that. But the thing that matters right now is that we're both alive and we're together. So let's just enjoy the time that we have together, alright, Itachi-kun?"
Itachi turned around slowly and looked into Hermione's eyes. They were filled with hope and love, the same way her eyes were when he came back from the Land of Waves. "Alright. You know that I love you, right, Hermione-chan?"
"Always, Itachi-kun. You wouldn't be doing any of this if you didn't." He kissed her and she kissed back, her hands creeping slowly to the tie that held his hair in it's shiny ponytail, taking it out of his hair with a quick flick of her wrist. Itachi's hands snaked around her waist, his thumbs tucked inside the waist line of her pants.
"I thought you said that we'll wait for that," Hermione whispered against his lips, and Itachi gave her the famous 'Uchiha' smirk.
"I'm keeping myself from doing just that...but looking at you in nothing but a hospital robe makes me go near out of control," Itachi said huskily, kissing her roughly against the lips again. They heard someone clear their throat and Hermione quickly hopped back into bed while Itachi put his hair back up. The leader stepped out of the doorway, walking slowly towards Hermione's bed, a satisfied expression on his...shadow.(Me: Why did you tell me to type that, Katie-chan?! Katie: Because you can't see his face, so there's no point! Me: if you read the manga-- Katie: Not in front of Naruto!!)
"It seems you're better." Hermione blushed lightly and Itachi turned his head to the wall. "Besides, I need for you, Itachi, to get better yourself. Those ribs are taking way too long to heal for my tastes."
"You and me both," Hermione huffed, obviously pissed that the leader ruined their make-out session.
"Then get back to healing. I might need you. In the mean time, for the sake of the organization, please don't do anything that would hold you back." He walked out of the room, but as soon as he heard the hospital bed creak he added, "Like sex for instance." Itachi immediately got off of Hermione and Hermione swiped some invisible dust off her lap.
"Damn, he's onto us," Hermione said, getting up off the bed and putting on the slippers that laid beside it. Itachi was turned to the wall, pounding it in mock anger. Hermione was laughing like a hyena on crack in her head.
"Well, you got me tempted-and then the bed-DAMN THAT SEXY HOSPITAL ROBE YOU HAVE ON!!!" Indeed, when Hermione checked it over, she immediately understood. One: It had a V-cut that went from her collarbone down to about the middle of her chest. And being 17 and coming from a long line of well-developed people, it didn't help.
Two: It cut of at a very short length, to help with emergency surgery if needed. But for a tall girl like Hermione, it just added to Itachi's lust. The end of it stopped in the middle of her thigh, showing off alot of skin. The line got even shorter when she sat down and crossed her legs, which annoyed her greatly.
Three: The ties on the back of this robe weren't really tight or all that strong, so there were little holes where her pale white skin was showed off for the world to see. And worst of all, she wanted to take this damned thing off because it was so god damn hot in the hideout.
'Stupid, perverted, S-class criminal ninja. As soon as a 17 year old joins the team, they fell the need to change the entire patient outfit from "turn-off" to "Holy shit, that bitch has boobs and a nice ass!" No wonder Itachi-kun is getting a boner...but then again, his name means "Weasel"...' "Know what? Let's just get me into something decent and we'll go and eat something. How does that sound?" Itachi nodded, still trying not to look at her.
12 minutes later
"Are you done yet?!"
"NO!! It's time that you stopped asking!!! Where the hell did you put the soap?!!"
"Next to the blueberry scented shampoo!! And hurry up!! I'm already good to go!!" Indeed, Itachi was. He wasn't in his regular Akatsuki cloak. He was in the assasin's outfit he wore when he anihilated his entire clan, complete with the katana hilted along his spine.
After a few minutes of waiting, he heard the shower turn off and a soft slap of a bare foot on the floor. He was about to open the door when-
"Itachi-kun don't you dare come in here!!!" Itachi smirked and let go of the door handle.
"Fine, but I still want a proper reunion," he said, waiting for Hermione's reaction. And boy, did he get one.
"WE HAVEN'T EVEN HAD OUR FIRST TIME YET, AND YOU'RE EXPECTING ME TO HAVE SEX WITH YOU NOW?!!!! I JUST GOT OUT OF THE GOD DAMN HOSPITAL; YOU'D REFRESH MY WOUNDS AGAIN, YOU IDIOT!!!! AND DON'T YOU DARE TRY ANYTHING!!!" Itachi buried a finger in his ear to partially block out the horrible noise, but it didn't work. He was sure that the whole Akatsuki could hear it. She had come out a second later, fully clothed and fuming.
"Sorry, it was a joke," Itachi said, raising his hands up in defeat. Hermione opened her mouth to respond but then closed it. She couldn't think of what to say.
"I'm making up for lost time with you, so jokes are legal. Let's get going," he said, taking Hermione's hand and walking away with her. While walking down the hallway, Hermione leaned her head on Itachi's shoulder. Itachi welcomed her touch and partially laid his head on hers.
"So this counts as making up for lost time," Hermione muttered against his shoulder.
"Yeah," Itachi whispered against her hair. "Are you hungry?"
"Actually, no. They fed me pretty well at the hospital. Why?"
"Just asking, because I'm not hungry either," Itachi said. "Let's go somewhere other than this hellish place. It's way to hot in here."
Hermione's eyes widened. "So where are we going?"
"Anywhere you want. Go on, get you jacket." Hermione squealed in delight and rushed to their room for her jacket. It was hanging on the bed post, just sitting there gathering dust. It was a light pruple, almost lavender and had soft fuzz all up in it. The outside was soft and the inside was warm, but she thought that she'd wait til she got outside to put it on. It really was hot in the hideout. She flung it in the air and caught it, shaking it roughly. Dust puffed from it.
"Honestly, you'd think that he'd be able to do the laundry without me," she said, giggling at her own joke. She ran back out of the room where Itachi was waiting on the wall, a dark hoodie on his shoulders.
"I heard that laundry crack. Personally, you're right. I couldn't figure out what type of fabric softener to use. You ready to go?" Hermione nodded. "Then hang on," Itachi said, extending an arm. Hermione took it and Itachi made a handsign, teleporting them out of the sweltering Akatsuki hidout.
(Me: Sorry, but I had to cut you off. I didn't want to spoil the awesome moment that I'm gonna give you of them. So I decided to give you a little of the Sand Siblings. Remember them? Temari especially. Temari: DAMN RIGHT!! Bring on the mayhem!! Emily, TenTen, and Me: YOU GOT IT!!!)
"Temari, you got an email!!"
"I'm coming, Kankuro. GOD!!" Temari walked briskly out of Gaara's office. Today was definitely not her day. Gaara didn't let her go to Konoha for Thanksgiving, or let her see Shikamaru. Then came work, which was all done at the desk. She wanted a mission-no, she needed one. Then again, Gaara thought that he needed a break from work instead, so she was stuck doing his work not including all of the work that he lined up for her, while he slept all day. 'Like getting the Shukaku taken out of him was enough, now he's slacking off,' she thought.
She entered her office, panting from frustration. "Hey Temari, you've got an--"
"Yeah, I know, just get out of the way," Temari said harshly, pushing her little brother off the chair.
"Hey--"
"Shut up," she said, clicking on the new email. It read:
"Temari, this is TenTen.
GUESS WHAT JUST HAPPENED?????!!!!
Come on, guess.
Keep going...
EMILY IS PREGNANT WITH SASUKE'S BABIES!! Notice I said "babies".
YUP!! EMILY HAS TWINS, AND I HAVE BEEN APPOINTED HONORARY AUNT!!!!
THEY'RE SOOOOO CUTE, TOO!! I WAS TALKING TO ONE OF THEM AND SHE SAID, "WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING INTTERUPTING MY NAP?!"
Isn't that just cute!! She's learning from her mother already!! The boy isn't doing so good though. He just listens to what she says and cuts in a couple times to make a point. But have you seen him mad?
Oh, boy was he mad that one time...
ONE TIME, HE KICKED SO HARD THAT EMILY SPEWED WHAT SHE WAS EATING A COUPLE MINUTES AGO. AND THIS WAS IN BROAD DAYLIGHT!!!!!
He's got a lot of his father in him. When Sasuke gets mad, he burns things or punches a pole or tortures someone with Chinese Water torture. (I only know that because he used it on me...that is until I nearly castrated him)
But besides, how are you doing? Is Gaara okay? Are you working hard? Well, of course you're working hard, its you. You kick ass on and off the battlefeild!!
When are you coming back here, cuz you missed Thanksgiving, girl. It was awesome!!
1) Kenisha totally jacked up "Grace." Emily was near killing her, with her damn religion and all...
2) WE HAD A FOOD FIGHT!!! Guess who won.
Come on, guess...
ME!!!! I TOTALLY KICKED THEIR ASSES WITH SQUASH AND POTATOES!!!
3) After our epic food fight, Kenisha and Emily went outside, babbling something about "the light side" and "the dark side" and cookies and milk. Then they fought it out!! Kenisha used a new jutsu, but then the old bitch--I mean Tsunade got into the fight, brandishing a turkey like the Holy Grail.
THEN EMILY THREW UP ON THE GROUND!!! It was soo sick...I could see the biscuits she swallowed whole coming out...
Yeah, TMI, I know. Anyway, I'll talk to you later.
See ya!!!
TenTen 8)
Temari was laughing out loud at the end of the email. Kankuro just stared at her like she was crazy.
"What's so funny, Temari?" Temari had forgotten that he was there and gave him a glare.
"Just go and play with your action figures, Kanky. I'm busy," Temari said, turning back to the computer, pressing the "Reply" button.
She's pregnant? That's so cool. Though I would've waited until I was my age though...but oh well.
I'm feeling overworked. Can you spell "Gaara is being a lazy asshole."? Actually, that's spelling Shika-kun...
DID YOU KNOW THAT I HAVEN'T SEEN HIM IN OVER 3 MONTHS??!!!!!
THIS IS TORTURE!!! I MISS HIM, TENTEN!!!! I WANT MY LITTLE SHADOW MASTER BACK WITH ME, RIGHT THE F--K NOW!!!
And btw, how are you and Neji doing? I heard something about a battle in front of Konoha. Were you in it? Cuz the Tsuchikage was involved...
Btw, I heard about Katie and Yamamoto. I feel so happy for those two. It's about time the bookworm got a boyfriend, no offense if she's right there. (Which she probably isn't...)
How's Emily and Sasuke now? I bet Sasuke fainted when he found out, didn't he? If he did, Kanky owes me about...I don't know...100 yen? Remind me, please.
Btw, before I forget, is Kenisha okay? Is her boyfriend treating her right? I hope she hasn't gotten hurt again, that freaked me out the last time... but I guess Lee will protect her til the end, right?
I REALLY WANT TO GO OVER THERE AND BE WITH YOU GUYS!!!! - -
BUT GAARA'S BEING A DUMBASS AND NOT LETTING ME LEAVE!!!!!!!!!! (
CAN YOU CALL HIM LONG DISTANCE AND CONVINCE HIM OR SEND A NOTE OR AN EMAIL TO HIM OR SOMETHING, JUST MAKE SURE IT GETS ME OUT OF HERE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
See ya later, I guess,
Temari +;)
She pressed "Send" and took a breath of relief. 'I know I'm imposing on her cuz she's my friend, but what could I have done? I really want to be with them...with my Shika-kun...'
She sighed, knowing that she wasn't going to see him any time soon.
"Hey Temari, Gaara needs to speak with you," Kankuro yelled from the hallway outside Temari's office.
"Alright, alright, I'm coming," Temari said, fuming again.She walked into Gaara's office to find him half-grinning. Well not half-grinning, you could barely see it, but there was somewhat of a grin on his face.
"What're you so happy about? I thought you were busy dreaming about Matsuri or something," Temari smirked as Gaara turned as red as his hair.
"N-no, it's not that; and by the way I'm going to get you for that later. Anyway, certain matters have come up and apparently...Tsunade said that she needs your audience in some sort of...baby shower? Well anyway, you're going, no mater how much you want to stay here and help me. Understood?"
Temari was fighting desperately not to shriek in joy. She had barely composed herself when she replied," YEA- I mean, yes, I understand. I'M GONNA- I mean, when do I leave?"
"Right now. Pack your things and come back when ever Tsunade tells you. I'm not sure how long she wants you. Goodbye, Temari."
"Thank you, Gaara." Temari bowed to him and half skipped out of Gaara's office.
'Hey guys, I'm coming. Shika-kun...guess who's gonna be at your front door?...YAY!!!'
(Me: Hope you enjoyed that. Especially the emails. TenTen and Temari: HELLS YEAH!!! Me: Okay...anyway, let's get back to Itachi and Hermione's little adventure...the bastards... Hermione and Itachi: HEY!!)
"ITACHI-KIOSHI, IT'S BEAUTIFUL!!!!!!!!!!!!"
"So you finally remembered what honorific you use with me. That's really nice, Hermione-tenshi," Itachi replied, flashing Hermione a weasel-like grin. Itachi had teleported them right above the Akatsuki hideout, where it was snowing softly. The wind picked up, blowing at Itachi softly but not seeming to bother Hermione. 'She's happy that she's back with me, huh? Well I'm happy to be back with her,' Itachi thought, smiling.
"Wanna have a snowball fight?" Not waiting for an answer she hit him with a uhge one, right in the face. Itachi wiped it off slowly, balling it up in his hand.
"ALRIGHT, YOU ASKED FOR IT!!" Itachi threw the snowball in his hand and it hit Hermione's arm. He then scooped up some more snow and threw it at Hermione as she was reloading. She dodged it and threw a couple at him, ducking behind a tree. Itachi smirked, dodging them with ease.
"Hermione-tenshi, where are you," he sang in a mocking tone. He saw a flash of purple and then got hit in the face again.
"You really suck at this game, Itachi kioshi," Hermione said, dusting some snow off her shoulders.
"If so, then let's rest a bit. I'm probably tired from worrying over you so much," Itachi said, huffing a bit.
"Well, you only worried over me because you love me, right," Hermione said, stepping over to him and kissing his red cheek.
'Yeah, it is. I love you more than anything, Hermione-tenshi. I hope you know that...'
"Itachi-kioshi, wanna sit down over there?" Itachi shook himself out of his thoughts and followed Hermione's pointing finger to a dead fir tree that was covered in snow. It had bare ground underneath it and a couple frozen puddles beside it.
"Alright," Itachi said and let himself be dragged to the spot. There they sat down and threw mini snowballs at each other.
"I thought you didn't want to play this game anymore," Itachi said, throwing another snowball at Hermione's stomach.
"That was a regular snowball fight; this is mini version," Hermione said, slamming a fistful of wet mush into Itachi's face.
Itachi wiped it off, smirking at Hermione. "Then this is the regular version of me kissing you." itachi swooped in and kissed her, pressing her body up against the tree. Hermione returned in kind, puting Itachi's large hood over them, making them even closer. She wrapped her arms around his neck and he wrapped his around her waist and back. They kissed until they couldn't breathe, then just sat there, holding each other, watching the falling snow together. Just like they should have been from the time Hermione got better.
"I love you Itachi-kioshi," Hermione whispered against his chest, lightly grasping his shoulders.
"I love you too, Hermione-tenshi. Promise me that you'll never go away like that again. I can't stand it when you're gone." Hermione sensed hurt in voice and grabbed his right pinkie with her's.
"Alright, Itachi-kioshi. I won't leave you anymore. Because I can't stand living a life without you either." They cuddled in the cold, warmed not only by their jackets but by their love for each other.
Me: Even though I added the Sand Siblings in there, I think I did pretty good ItaHer moments.
Itachi and Hermione: HELL YEAH, YOU DID!!!!
Lee: SHUT UP, YOU F--KIN' DEMENTED FANGIRLS!!!!
Itachi: WHAT DID YOU CALL US??!!!!
Temari: Thanks for letting me go to Konoha, finally!!
Shikamaru: Yeah, and I can have my girl back.
Me: You're welcome. And TenTen? Are you okay?
Emily: 'pulling at TenTen's buns' STOP THIS BITCH FROM TALKING TO MY KIDS WHILE I'M SLEEPING ON HER COUCH!!!!!!!!!
TenTen: OOOOOOOWWWWWWWWWWWW!!!!!!!!!!
Neji and Sasuke: Please Review.
