Chapter 8
"New friend"
It was still raining, the sky were gloomy.
It looks like the rain won't stop anytime soon.
Maybe it will get worse?
. . .
In the heart of Tokyo, a girl is running. She looks like she was running to get to an endless destination, a destination that no one will find her. Every person she passes couldn't help to glance, she was fast but her beauty can still be seen.
The rain was her only sanctuary . .
. . .
Hikari couldn't run anymore, she didn't even care where she was. Her feet was getting numb too, her eyes and face was red because of her endless tears. She was tired, cold and sore. She was soaking wet.
She looked around, and saw a familiar place . .
. . .
It was a small flower garden with a lot of people . .
She knew them, she loved them . .
There, she saw a girl with a pair of honey-brown eyes, she was very familiar . .
she was having a blast talking with them . .
She looked around . .
A couple whom she knew so much was looking at the girl, they were very happy for her.
She was really tired . .
A tear fell down from her face . .
"Mom . . Dad . ."
. . .
- - -
Back in the dressing room Itachi was alone. The man sat on the girl's chair, he looked quite tired. His bodyguards were surrounding the room so that nobody can enter anymore. Neji who just came was talking on the phone with Sai.
"What!? you can't find her yet? . . Just keep looking . . Hime-sama is bad with directions . . she can't run away outside-" Itachi can't him off. The mirror can't reflect his eyes.
"Send them outside . ."
"Your Highness?"
"She's probably outside . . running like an idiot . ." He was smirking, was he happy? What the hell is he thinking anyway? Neji was wondering as well.
"When she's crying . . she'll run away . . far away when nobody can find her . . . there is a tendency that she will never come back . . ." his tone was indescribable, is he was guilty or sad? but he's smirking.
He knows her . .
The girl didn't change a bit since he first met her . .
She run away from him too . .
Was he guilty?
Does he feel bad?
Did he really use her?
"Your highness where are you going?" Neji was surprised.
Is he going to?
"I'm going out for a bit . . don't follow me . ." his tone was calm and magnetic as ever. Like nothing just happened.
Neji didn't bother to oppose him, he felt kinda angry at him. Does this man really bothered to care?
Itachi went out of the room. Nobody dared to look into his eyes at the moment . . . His body guards shield him as he walks. It was a mystery though, he just disappeared . . nobody noticed.
Hikari . .
Where have you gone this time?
His cellphone rang. It was his grandfather. He have heard the news, he was really worried. The old man kinda feel felt bad too, he realized that his timing wasn't good. He should have told them first before announcing it to everybody. The old man felt really sorry for the girl. It must be hard for her, the old man also asked Itachi what really happened.
" . . It was my fault, she felt . . she was used . ." his tone was calm. He was standing in the rain.
"What? Itachi . . what's going on her-" his grandson cut him off.
"I'm sorry grandfather, I promise I will bring her back . . " the man turned off his phone. He started to walk, he didn't care that other people saw him.
. . .
- - -
The rain was still pouring non-stop and the raindrops were getting bigger.
A man with a long blond hair looked outside his car, he looks a little pissed about something.
This man, at the first glance, can be mistaken as a girl. His long blond hair is tied up high and a trace of irritation can be seen in his face. Looks like he had a bad day today. He looked outside the car, it was still raining.
"Hey, when are we going to get there anyway, un!?" the man asked his chauffeur. His voice was very magnetic as well. He was getting impatient.
"Sorry young master Deidara, but the traffic is making our trip long. Please be patient for a moment."
"Ahh!! whatever!" he looked again in the window.
To let go of his irritation, the man tried to look around through his window. The man saw a park, there are no people but there is something laying on the ground. He looked at it. The car was about to move. .
. . .
"Wait!! Stop the car, un!!"
The man rushed out of the car, even though it was raining hard. He can't believe his eyes, he just saw a body there.
Deidara rushed to the park, there he saw a picture of beauty . . NO! a work of art!
His eyes widened and his cheeks turned red.
The girl was very beautiful, like a doll from a department store. She was soaking wet. Deidara immediately picked her up without any reason.
His heart was starting to beat non-stop as he held her.
God . . she's gorgeous, un . .
"A perfect work of art . . " he was still in awe . .
All his irritation faded . .
" . . mama . . papa . . " The girl looks like she was having dream, she was smiling. Deidara who is her carrying in a bridal style way, looked at her very carefully . .
At first he thought that she was sad, but then again she was smiling. He was really feeling something weird right now. Like he wanna kiss her or something. Like he want to hold her tight, like he wanna cherish her. His heart was beating non-stop.
Deidara carried her into the car, still looking in awe, he didn't noticed his chauffeur came up to him. The chauffeur's eyes widened, he looked at the girl. Deidara was already seating on his chair, still looking at the peaceful, soaking Hikari.
Before the chauffeur opened his mouth, Deidara already outspoken him.
"Take us to to the Paper flower, un." Deidara said while taking off his jacket and putting it into the girl. He held her close, her head was resting on his shoulder. His right hand holding her cold hands, making them warm.
The chauffeur want to tell him something REALLY important about the girl.
"Umm . . Young master . . about her high-"
"Do you want her to get a fever, un!? Drive!" he was getting impatient again, Deidara was getting worried of her. It is really surprising though, he was a ladies man but he had never treat and felt like this to a girl. He looked back again at her with worried eyes, the chauffeur didn't say a word, he knows he can't refuse to his master.
"I understand, Young master."
As they rode their way to the Paper flower, the girl was starting to change her expressions, she looked like she in pain. Deidara hugged her and pulled her closer, her head was now resting on his chest. The man was feeling it again, that great urge to protect her. It was really making her feel weird. He was still staring at her.
What the hell is going on with me!? I'm not like this . . I never treat a woman like this . . for me they are just. . leisure time . .
The girl moved her hand and tugged into his shirt. She drew closer to him, she really looks in sad now.
Shades of red are starting to form on the young man's face. He hugged her tight.
. . .
"Don't worry . . I'll protect you . ."
- - -
The rain is still falling, non-stop.
It wasn't as heavy, as the one earlier though.
. . .
A handsome man was still walking in the streets, the people just can't take their eyes off of him, especially the girls. He looked really sexy that way; soaking wet. His figure can also be noticed, he was perfect . .
"Ne! mitte! mitte! Kyaaaaaa!! Ouji-sama is here!! I wonder why he's out here in the rain?! I want to come closer to him . . but he looks upset . ." a girl said.
He didn't mind them, he didn't really care.
He was getting impatient too, he is walking for at least 30 minutes now and still no trace of her.
Idiot . .
I told her not to do anything stupid . .
He reached a park, there are no people around but he still went to check if she was around.
Good thing though cuz he found something important . .
"Hn."
he smirked.
It was a ring, a white gold ring with a beautiful diamond in it. It was used as a pendant.
He picked it up and held it into his hand.
"Looks like you really don't want to marry me . . huh?" his magnetic voice spoke.
He reached into his pocket to get his cellphone.
"Neji-san, its me. I'm going back, just wait for me. Tell Sai and the others to search around Tokyo. Make sure nobody founds that she is lost understand?" his tone was serious. The man turned of his phone . .
He held the necklace up high making the ring shine.
See you, Hikari . .
- - -
Deidara was getting impatient of waiting and kept on winning on the way, but thank God they finally reached it though. Japan's most popular clothing line . . The Paper flower.
The chauffeur got out first and shielded the 'sleeping beauty and prince charming' for getting wet again. When the two entered the shop, Deidara immediately began giving commands.
"Hey you! Find the most gorgeous dress that will fit to this girl! I don't care if its the priciest dress in this shop, just give it to me, un!" He was still carrying the girl. Deidara placed her into a chair afterwards to see what kind of dresses are they offering. The girl was still asleep.
Deidara was still wondering though . . Why is he doing this to a girl? Why does he care so much? He can't understand himself. Is it because she's pretty? gorgeous? No, something else . .
A saleslady who happens to pass by the sleeping girl, was startled . . she can't believe it. Why is her highness sleeping here?
"Sayo-chan" she told the other saleslady "What does her highness doing here!! She is supposed to be with Ouji-sama right? What's going on!?''
"I don't know either, Deidara-bouchama just brought her in here like that . . I'm wondering too . ." the other saleslady replied.
" . . Really? . . Ah! maybe . . her highness is Deidara-bouchama's girlfriend! . . . That's it!" her eyes started to sparkle.
"No! remember the news earlier? She ran away from the press because Their highnesses are caught doing 'something' . . remember?" the other saleslady said while blushing.
"Ah! really? . . Maybe she was just having a hard time there . . But you know she's so lucky! His Imperial highness, Prince Itachi and Fujishima Deidara, the heir of the biggest manufacturing corporation is all going just for her! Kyaaaaaaaaa!!"
"Yeah I know! Her highness looks really nice and she's extremely cute too! Look!!"
Deidara saw the two saleslady looking at the girl with great interest, they're blushing as well.
"You two!! What are you doing, un!? Stop looking at her and do your jobs! Don't touch at her!!" he was getting a little posessive.
The poor salesladies agreed and got back to work. The others are talking too. He just shouts at them.
"Deidara-kun? What is going on here?" a calm and lady like woman entered the scene. She was escorted as well. She really looks refined and well mannered. she has a short blue hair and a paper flower as a hair decoration. all of the saleslady stopped and bowed at her. Deidara looked at her and sighed.
"Finally! Someone who can really help me! I've been looking for you, un!" he smiled. "You gotta help me, Konan-chan." he added.
Deidara told her what happened and showed her the girl. Her eyes grew wide, Deidara continued giving up orders.
"Deidara-kun." Konan seated near the sleeping girl. She look very peaceful sleeping like that.
"What?" he replied, he was still looking for clothes.
"Where did you find her?"
"She was laying on the park. It was still raining so I picked her up, un. I just can't leave her there."
Konan sighed, she stood up and brushed the hair that was blocking the girl's face. She walked to the closet of clothes and picked a really beautiful dress. It was light pink gown with a classy design, she showed it to Deidara. The man was really happy and immediately ordered the sales lady to put it onto her. The two waited outside. One of Konan's entourage gave them tea, they began talking.
"Do you have an idea who she is Deidara?" Konan said as she seeps into her tea.
"Why do you ask, un?" the man looked at her with curiosity.
. . Inside . .
The salesladies where busy taking of her clothes, they all admired her beauty.
"Hey guys, Look! She has a very fair complexion . . and oh! Her skin is actually turning red!! How cute!" A saleslady said a she too of her jacket.
"Her hair is really soft and long too! Oh I wish I have one . . " another one said as she brushed her hair.
"Wow . . her legs look perfect! Its just right and there is no scratch in it too!! Oh I wish I was this perfect looking!" another one said as she took of her jeans.
They were all admiring her beauty, who wouldn't? This girl was very pretty to begin with. She almost got all his father's traits and his personality, got her beautiful honey-brown eyes from her mother who has also have a perfect skin. The salesladies all thought that she is very suitable for His highness, She was perfect and He is perfect. In short a perfect match . .
Not exactly . .
The girl slowly opened her tired eyes and looked around. She was in small but elegant room, she feels a little better now maybe because she has fallen asleep. She scratched her eyes and looked at the huge mirror beside her. There is something weired though . .
. . Outside . .
. . .
"WHAT!!" Deidara panicked. He didn't believed. Konan was still calm drinking her tea. "B-b-but how!?"
"Didn't you watch the news earlier? Her name is Mashirou Hikari, her parents died because of a car accident so her parents entrusted her to the Emperor. " she calmly replied, she looked at the really surprised Deidara who is standing at the moment, he was having a major disbelief.
"When she was young she has already planned to be with Itachi-san. Her parents is close with the Emperor and Uncle Fukaku approved as well." she added. Deidara's eyes grew wider. How come he didn't know? That the girl he she found was already belonged to a certain somebody!? And out of all the people in this world why does it have to be with him!!
"AHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!" somebody screamed at the dressing room. It was a girl's voice, she got out from the dressing room wearing a blanket. The salesladies went out to catch her as well. She paused as she sees the two figure outside. Deidara's jaws dropped and Konan stood from her chair. She looks really beautiful (If anybody of you had seen chobits and the episode when Chi run through the city in blankets . . that's what she looks like.). Hikari looked at them.
"Don't worry . . We were just trying to help you, Your highness." A woman with the blue hair approached her, Hikari stepped back.
"W-who are you? And why am I here?" she was getting confused, How did she end up here and why . . "Why am I naked!!" she panicked. her cheeks turned red.
Before Konan can reply, Deidara stepped forward. He was smiling.
"I found you laying on the park and it looks like you were tired so I picked you up, un . . " his voice was really charming.
Is this person a girl? . . her voice and the using of 'Ore' maybe he's a guy? . . Wait!! I shouldn't be thinking about that!! . . They looked like they can be trusted though . .
He was walking towards her as well. She sighed . . she felt relieved. But Thank God it isn't him.
"Really? . . I'm so sorry . . " she bowed and apologized. She really felt embarrassed. "I'm really sorry for all the trouble . . and Thank you very much for saving me from getting lost!!"
"Its really okay, Your Highness." Konan smiled.
They seemed really friendly.
"That's fine, un . ." Deidara was getting closer to her. "By the way . ." the man extended his hand, like he wants to touch her. "I'm Deidara! and this is Konan." he really looks happy right now. Hikari smiled and gave her hand to him, its weired because she had the same feeling as she met Naruto. She felt that she and this person will be good friends.
"Its really nice to meet you." she was smiled at him. She was really lucky to find this people. "And please you don't need to call me 'Your highness' . . Please call me by may name . . Wait! You guys know me?" she wondered.
Hikari didn't notice it, Deidara touched her hands as he kneel down before her, she blushed as he kissed her hand.
"I . . umm . ."
"Its really my pleasure . . Hikari-chan . ." Deirdara looked at her. She was still blushing though. She can't help it, nobody has ever knelled down before her just to kiss her hand before, and nobody has ever knelled down before her. Hikari gave her a sweet smile.
"Thank you . ." she was really cute. Deidara looked at her.
Man . . she's really something . .
. . .
Konan told Hikari to change into her new clothes since its wet. The girl understood and went back again, this time she was the one putting it into herself. Deidara and Hikari was talking while she was inside and Konan was busy talking on the phone.
"So that's what happen . . " Hikari replied as she was combing her hair. She was feeling that pain again, she looked really sad. Deidara was getting pissed at him again. Why does he always have what he wants?
"That jerk . ."Deidara clutched his hand. He was getting pissed. But good thing Hikari was there though.
"Are you okay . . ?" the girl went out of the dressing room. Her long beautiful hair was curled and the dress fit her perfectly. She looks like a Goddess. All his anger and irritation faded when she smiled at him.
Deidara's heart began to beat that way again. His face was getting red as a tomato.
Hikari walked closer to him, she was worried for her new friend. She pulled her his arm, she touched his forehead.
"Deidara-kun . . daijobu ka?" she looked at him with worried eyes.
She looks so cute . . she's really a work of art, un . .
"Y-yeah . . I am . ." he was still blushing.
We are so close . .
"Ahem! Ahem!" Konan said while looking at the two of them. She walked towards the two. Hikari let go of him and faced Konan. The girl admired the blue haired woman.
Konan-san really looks educated . . mature . . beautiful . . strong and an elegant woman. I wish I can be more like her . .
"Hikari-chan, You look very beautiful in that dress . . I'm so happy" she smiled. Hikari blushed, "Umm . . thank you . ."
Later Deidara was the one to change his clothes while Hikari and Konan talk. It was still raining.
- - -
Meanwhile a group of cars parked right outside The Paper flower. They are a lot of them, Konan and Hikari looked through the glass window.
"He's here." she said, Hikari looked at her with great confusion. A man went inside the store, he was very familiar.
. . .
"You!!" Hikari pointed at him. The salesladies looked at him, It was the Crowned prince himself, Itachi-no-miya. He looked at Hikari for a moment and then looked at Konan, he was still emotionless. Hikari looked at him with hate, she don't want to see him right now . .
This man . .
"Konan-san, thank you for telling me where she is . . I've been looking all over for her." he said calmly, his presence just made the hearts of the salesladies stop.
This man!! I want to punch him!! . . . Wait a minute . .
"You guys know each other!?" she shouted at them, her emotions changed. Itachi looked at her, she blushed. She looked the other way.
"I'm sorry Hikari-chan, I should have told you. Itachi-san, me and Deidara are all members of an elite organization called the 'Akatsuki'. We are all studying in Gakushuin too." Konan calmly replied. Hikari's eyes grew wider . . she didn't expect it. Who knew they were just schoolmates!?
"If you don't have any questions then let's go." Itachi told her. She felt pissed. Hikari crossed her arms and looked at him with a challenging look. Itachi was still looking at her emotionless.
I'm not gonna let him manipulate me ever again. I had enough . . I'll show him what I got . . I'll show him how Hikari fights back. Prepare to get my revenge Uchiha. I'm not gonna lose to you . . never!
"What if I don't? What you gonna do about it? Drag me out of the store?" she looked at him with teasing eyes. It was hard.
". . Yes, if that's the only way." he replied back. The salesladies looked at the two of them with admiration. They look perfect together, even though they are far away like that. They were still a hot couple.
"Really? Then try doing it?" she said teasingly. Is she looking for trouble? Konan was surprised too. Nobody had ever talk to Itachi this way. He's always treated with respect.
"Hn." he smirked. He walked coolly towards his fiancée, who is still not walking away for her safety. Is she really looking for trouble!?
Itachi grabbed her hand and pulled it, she pulled it away. Hikari looked at him with hate. EH was still holding it though.
"Don't you dare touch me!!"
Itachi was dumbfounded. He didn't really expect it . .
"That's my girl!!" a man walked out from the dressing room. Hikari looked behind and Itachi looked at him. He was walking towards Hikari.
"Don't force her to do what she doesn't want to do, un." he was getting closer. He grabbed the girl's arm, the ones Itachi was holding.
"And don't touch her!" he looked at Itachi with the 'if-you-don't-I'll-blast-you-off' look, though he was smiling, it was really scary. Hikari was surprised, the others too. There is that tension building up with this too. The boys are looking at each other eye-to-eye, like they want to kill each other or something. Hikari was feeling nervous.
Now what?
"Deidara-kun . ."
Looks like a war is going to start.
End of Chapter 8
- - -
Next chapter preview:
It was getting late and Hikari had just realized that she haven't eaten yet. She looked around the limousine, she found nothing . . accept Mr. Girly, poker-faced jerk, who looks 'expressionless as always'. They were sitting far away from each other. She just can't believe what happened earlier, he . . just . .
Hikari blushed . .
She looked at him like he has a virus or something. But she was still blushing like mad.
I'm not gonna let him do that again . .
She was getting weaker . .
Itachi looked at her.
She looked the other way . .
"What is it?" his voice was calm, thank goodness.
"Nothing!" she told him.
There was silence . .
Itachi looked at her for a while.
Her heart was beating non-stop.
"Stop looking at me!!" she was getting really nervous here. Her face was red as a tomato.
". . Your still thinking about it, are you?" Hikari twitched.
" . . . Did it felt good?" his tone was calm but it kinda mocks her. She looked him, still looking like a tomato.
"Excuse me!? For your information, I am not thinking about it!! And IT DOESN'T FEEL GOOD EITHER!!" she shouted at him. She was really not in a good situation right now because she lied. She was remembering "it".
"hmm . . ." he was smirking. Hikari felt that her life is going to end any minute now.
"Then I'll just have to do it again . . right, Hikari?" his tone was teasing her.
Don't look at her girl!! look at the other way!! Yell or something!! Oh!! What am I gonna do!! He's doing it again . .
