Hey guys! I am so sorry for the late update, a lot just has been going on. BUT! enjoy!


"The fuck?"

Kagome, caught between disgust and utmost horror, swore she was hearing things. It had to be just that. No way in hell was she being referred to as one of Itachi's air headed stalkers. No fucking way.

The Uchiha Prodigy killed the urge to smirk.

"Surely you cannot be that incompetent? Then again, there cannot be much expected from a mere fan girl." He spat out, sneering at her flabbergasted expression.

With narrowed eyes, Kagome zeroed on the man she was playing psychiatrist for. For the few moments she had crossed paths with the guy, Kagome deduced that apart from the assumed insanity he was possibly facing, his ego was way over his head. Okay sure, after her vigorous research, he stood true to his prodigy acclaimed title. He was a ninja saint. Not one mistake. No dark shadows following his 'majestic' self. His personal life was nonexistent. His only contact outside of work was his immediate family, and that wasn't much either.

"Please," She began. "Don't flatter yourself. If I truly had fallen into the categories of a fan girl, I would chose a man worth my time." With that said she was gone before Itachi would even comprehend her words.

Kagome smirked as she masked her presence with perfecting, hiding within the trees. Itachi's slip of his stoic façade was worth all the effort.

"Leave them wanting more." It was all a game of wits.

Lies.

There was no other reason. She just happened to be a fan girl with a brain. That was all.

Itachi cursed. He was not stupid. He wasn't about to delude himself into thinking otherwise than the truth.

This woman intrigued him. She may not be the first to be mistaken as a fan girl or be one of those rare females who did not fall for his natural charms, but she grasped his interests in more ways than one.

Like any 'concerned' brother, he did his background search. Apparently a traveller with no origin of village, but because of her healing abilities, she was granted stay in Konohagakure. Flaws. Everywhere. Anyone else would have overlooked it as stroke of good luck, but he was not anyone. The vague profile did not sate his hunger to know more. Interrogating the hokage got him nowhere. What fueled his confusion more was that there were no records of her being a fully trained medic. Her stance he had never seen. Perfect for offence and defense leaving no opens for the enemy.

With newly sparked determination, Itachi vowed to unravel Higurashi Kagome.
