Yay chapter 2!
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
After eating dinner at Iro's place, Itachi learned one thing. Iro. Can't. Cook. He also learned that her sister Unmei, did not enjoy having him there and continued to glare at him throughout the "meal". Iro just kept on blabbing away about random stuff, while little by little, Itachi and Unmei scraped small portions of their "food" so to speak, into the houseplant behind them, which Iro explained, always seems to die during dinner.
It was obvious Iro cooked every night because Unmei was so skinny. Her clothes were unfitting but he could see her arms were bony and pale. Itachi poked some of the blueish-greyish stuff on his plate with his chopsticks until Unmei broke the silence.
'So Itachi, what is your relationship with my sister?'
Iro choked on her "food" and Itachi's chopsticks clattered onto the plate.
'I told you before! Itachi and I are just teammates!'
'That's not what it looks like to me.'
Itachi ignored their yelling and stared at his "dinner" which seemed to be turning orange.
Itachi and Iro went for a walk after dinner.
'So Iro. Explain to me why your sister acted so weird around me. Is she always like that?'
'Most of the time. But she was especially acted weird around you because you're an Uchiha.'
'What does that have to do with anything?!'
Iro was very quiet for a moment.
'15 years ago, our father died before I was born. So my mother raised me and Unmei on her own. But on day, just a few months ago in fact, a group of ninja broke into our house. Our mother told us to hide in the basement without her. We came out eventually to see if it was safe but once we did, we saw our mother get killed right in front of our eyes. And their leader, was an Uchiha. Your father I believe.
Itachi was stunned. 'M-m-my father?'
Iro nodded.
'But how do you know he's my father?'
'Those lines on your face.' Iro said gesturing to the lines on Itachi's face. 'He had those too.'
Itachi all of a sudden felt very guilty. He stared at his feet which seemed glued to the ground. 'Iro I'm really sorry. I didn't mean to be nosy.'
Iro smiled at him. 'It's okey you didn't know. Sorry for giving you a long answer for a short question.'
'Hey no problem'
That night Itachi's eyes were clouded with the thoughts of his own parents being murdered right in front of him.

Me: well another chapter done
Unmei: I bet you're going to pair Itachi up with my sister.
Itachi: I don't care if I'm with her or not she's a nice kid. As long as she doesn't cook for me I'm good.
Unmei: You better not make her cry or else.
Itachi: Or else what?
Unmei: I'll tell her how you really feel about her cooking.
Itachi: You better not.
Me: Well R&R! No flames!
