To Sinxirl: Thanks!! Well . . yeah . . Since this story doesn't have violence everybody's alive and they all have a pretty, average normal life I guess its ok to have their charas change. I was asking if they are going out of chara to let me know if they are going to far away out of chara . .

Chapter 12

Don't be afraid of the storm

Dear Diary,

Hi there!! hehe . . its me again^^! I never thought keeping a diary would be so great!! I could see the way my life changes everyday . . now that I read the other pages . . I just realized that 2 weeks had already passed since that Chaotic Press con!! And so many things has happed already!!

Summerization:

The next day after the whole incident thing, Ojii-san introduced me to an old woman named Chiyo, he said the she'll be the one in charge of my Princess training. She looks very old, I guess by the way you look at her she might be at the age of 63, perhaps? She told me that from today until the day I learned everything from her we won't stop training. Chiyo-bachan told me that Aunt Mikoto is a prodigy because she only spend 5 months to know everything! While an average commoner, [which is me] will take 2 years to complete the stupid training. It was like hell . . if I try to complain she'll . . . add another book to my head . . if I refuse . . . I can't eat . . If I try to escape . . I'll be looked in my room . .

I'm so scared at her!!!

NOTE: Sunday, Wednesday and Friday are the only days I have to go to hell so its kinda nice . .

This past few days I also noticed how 70% [I think?] of the school population greets me whenever I pass them. It feels great that they acknowledge me and I kinda feel really special too^-^!!

About the 30%?

Well . . I think they I have a grudge on me . . because of him . .

That dangerous aura and striking glares they give me every time I go to school with Sasuke-kun and him . .

Just thinking about it makes me want to crush them all . . I've had enough it!! At first I'm really scared at them . . but now its just getting annoying! Why can't they just accept that they're Prince is already engaged to me!! And its not like I wanted to marry him too . .

Erase! Erase! Erase!!

Schools getting great, everybody including me is starting open up. I'm getting close to everyone especially to Kakashi-sensei! He's really cool! And he's such a smooth-talker too!! I really-really like him!!

. . .

Oh yeah . . Prince is not here . . I don't know where he went but he's away . .

Sasuke-kun just told me about it this morning . .

I wonder where he is?

- - -

She placed the half bottle milk in her desk.

Hikari stopped writing there, its already 8:30 pm. Time passes by she thought. She stood up and stretched, she looked at her window and exhaled. She sat on her bed and looked outside . .

"Where is that guy?"

She looked around, it was dark and the only source of light she has is her two large windows. Japanese literature is the only assignment that is left undone, its to many and she's new in Japan so she has no knowledge about this. Good thing Sasuke-kun taught her advance Geometry earlier, if she hadn't plead.

But her thoughts weren't about her studies but in a particular guy . .

Where did he go?

Her relationship with him changed . . a bit . . since these passed few days they were always together. Going to school, eating, sometimes in training, going home and in some events. She still has a grudge on him, that's true but . .

You know the thing that even though you are not really that attached to a person but you're usually with him? The unusual bond you share even though when you talk to him he and he doesn't usually respond but you get happy? That unusual feeling of getting used to him everyday because you're always together?

. . .

She kept on thinking about him, he didn't even told her that he's leaving.

. . .

You know?

That feeling you feel because that certain someone is always with you and now he's not around and you feel like there is something missing?

And you feel lonely?

. . .

I'm feeling lonely . .

I've been thinking about since this morning . .

. . .

What do you call that again?

. . .

A cold wind blows . .

. . .

"I can't possibly miss him!!!!!! AHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!" she laughs hysterically at her stupidity. She fell back out of laughter, she looked up. There is a mirror above her, she looked at herself and smiled, an odd smile that has a different meaning.

"I can't possibly miss him . ."

. . .

"I'm totally free from him today . . What a bliss . . "

That's right, she remembered the things he did to her. Why worry about him anyway, he didn't told her where he would go and if Sasuke didn't told her that he was leaving she might not know. She feel stupid for thinking too much, worrying for a man like him, useless . .

"When did he worry about me anyway?" she sounded like she doesn't care at all, she's getting numb. She got up, smiled and yelled:

"Shia-wa-se!!!!"

- - -

Itachi looked at his window, his chin on his knuckles. He was the same as always, he opened the glass window and looked outside. The Tokyo lights are everywhere, shinning in different colors bringing the city a blissful aura. Nobody is noticing him, thank God. His onyx eyes looked at the sky, clouds looking heavy.

He remembered something . .

Something from a long time ago . .

. . .

A storm is raging . .

They were alone together . .

Thunder roared in the skies . .

. . .

"Itachi . . I'm scared . . Don't leave me alone . ." her tiny hands is shaking, holding on to him very tightly.

He did the same.

. . .

He reached for his pocket and pulled a necklace with 2 rings on it. The two rings matched each other, the one that looks bigger is for a man and the other one for a woman. The other one belonged to somebody . . to other one belonged to him.

He looked at it . .

A small smile . .

. . .

"Your Highness, were here." Neji said while opening the car for him. He noticed what Itachi was holding "Should I inform the princess that you're-

"Nii-san. Okairinasai . ." A handsome voice broke the bodyguard's sentence. Sasuke cam out and smiled to his brother. Neji bowed as a sign of respect. The older brother looked at him and gave out a small smile. He faced Neji and spoke . .

"No, I'll go there myself." his tone was okay. Was he in he in a good mood? Neji nodded. "And You're Highness, about the preparations?"

"I'll tell her that too." the man faced his younger brother who looked confused. "Sorry Sasuke, some other time . ." he patted him and walked ahead.

"What's going on?" he asked Neji, the bodyguard gave him a somewhat happy look. "His Highness is preparing for his wedding."

. . .

- - -

"AHHHHH!! Finally! I can relax and let myself off . . taking a nice hot bath after a chaotic afternoon! Perfect!" Her eyes shines with happiness. The water is perfect and nobody can steal this moment of bliss and happiness away from her . .

She got out of the bath with a nice grin on her face . .

She reached her bathrobe and dried her long, soft flowing hair in front of the mirror singing . .

. . .

"anata wa ima doko de nani wo shite imasu ka?" / Where are you right now? What are doing at this moment?

"kono sora no tsuzuku basho ni imasu ka?" / Are you looking into this wide, blue sky?

. . .

She went out of the bathroom and noticed it was raining . .

. . .

"Ima made watashi no kokoro wo umete ita mono" / I lost touch with you and now my heart feels so empty . .

"ushinatte hajimete kizuita" / Today I noticed this pain for the first time . .

"konna ni mo watashi wo sasaete kurete ita koto" / The fact that you had been supporting me this much each day.

"konna ni mo egao wo kureteita koto" / Equals the importance of the smiles you've given me along the way.

. . .

But she didn't notice that a storm is coming . .

. . .

"Maru de . ." / My chest is . .

"Kaze no . . "/ aching from . .

"you ni surinukete . ." / . . the loneliness I suffer now . .

"todokisou de . . todokanai" / And my heart seems to break whenever I think about you . .

. . .

Somebody opened the door, she didn't notice it . . she was busy singing her song . . She is happy right now but why is she singing that king of song?

. . .

"mou ichido . . ano koro ni modorou" / I'll always be . . laughing by your side . .

"ana . . ta no sugu soba de..." / I know that . . everything . . will be fine in the end . .

. . .

She happily grabbed the bottle of milk she saved earlier

"I'M FINALLY FREE FROM THAT MAN TODAY!!" she drank with all her might . . like an old man . .

A small light flashed . .

" . . What are you being so happy about it?" Hikari sprayed the milk out and faced back . . she saw him . . leaning into her door . . completely inside her room! How did he get here!? She wondered.

"AHHHH!! How did you get here!! Get out!!" she said blushingly, pointing at him. He started walking, he was expressionless. Is it really that amusing when he torment and annoy her like that?

"You know if you drink it like that . . your breast won't get bigger anyway . ." he spoke, his tone was teasing her. Hikari's eyes widened.

What?

. . .

Her blood-boiled, he ruined her paradise!! And he can knock right? Can a simple knock hurt a Prince?

He's walking slowly at her, taking his time. Hikari yelled, it all she could do anyway . .

"Get out now!!!!!" her cheeks are getting red because of anger but I think nobody will take her seriously if she looks like that. He was getting closer, his eyes on hers. She was getting nervous but not scared.

She remembered how she worried about him . . how useless it is . .

Note: 1 1/2 meter distance.

She spoke out nowhere . .

"You just come and go like the wind . . You never tell me where you go . . " she looked at her right side, cheeks red. It just came, that feeling . . She wanted to give him some piece of her mind. " . . I . . I . . "

Note: 10 centimeters, distance.

He stopped, she kept on looking on her right side. She was blushing like hell, he's 10 centimeters away from her!! And wait! She's angry right? But why did it turned out to be like this!? Why is her heart beating so badly and why does he have that unusual grin on his face . . now that I mentioned . .

The man lifted his hand touched her face, his other hand grabbed her waist. He faced her in his position. She met his eyes . . he met hers . .

What is this . . this feeling . .

She gulped, closed her eyes and clenched her fist as he leaned to her, whispering in her ears . .

Her heart beating non-stop . .

. . .

"Gomen . ."

His breathing and tone made her heart stop, like she died there in that moment. She felt like melting . . she had to hold onto something or else . .

The rain had stopped and the cold wind blows. The storm is starting . .

. . .

10 seconds later . .

. . .

The man was seating in her chair looking at her assignments, his face was expressionless but kinda mocking. "Japanese literature . . ?"

She stood there like a stone, the wind blowing into her face . . having that dumb expression of disappointment and confusion . .

"You can't answer this?" he lifter a paper up and looked at her. Its like saying: You can't even answer a single thing. Hn, you're such an embarrassment! Hikari's mind went blank.

. . .

"GET THE HELL OUTA HERE!!!!! YOU STUPID BASTARD!!!! GET OUT!!!!" a volcano just erupted. She grabed his collar and dragged him out of the chair, while yelling "I've had enough of you!!! Fine say sorry then what!!? You didn't even tell me where you went and know you're telling me that I'm an embarrassment!! HUH!!? Who needs you!!!"

. . .

He was too strong for her so after a minute she just let it go and let herself fall down in the floor in defeat. His eyes looking at her . .

I'm so stupid . .

. . .

There was silence . .

. . .

A cold wind blows . .

The storm is raging . .

He touched her heard, she was surprised. Her heart started to feel it again. His hand was warm, very warm . . that's kinda comforting actually. She didn't look infront because she knows its already this dangerous enough.

Why is my heart pounding?

This person is . . just an a acquaintance to me . . yet . .

His touch never let me sleep at night . .

His a person who doesn't care for me at all . . yet . .

I worry so much of him . .

This person is . . supposed to be a person I shouldn't let myself fall for and yet . .

I . . for some reasons . .

. . .

It was getting colder, she can feel it, wearing your bathrobe for the whole 30 minutes will make you really feel it. She is shaking . . can he feel it?

. . I . .

Suddenly she felt warm hands crawled from her head to the back of her ears. He tilted his head on hers and covered her ears, like protecting her for something. Its getting worst . .

Her eyes widened as she saw the thunders rage coming from outside. She felt scared, really scared . .

It suddenly happened . .

She stood up and hugged him. Her body was shaking, clinging to him. Another thunder roared . .

She cried, and hugged him tightly . . she was so afraid . .

Itachi held her tight, he was still seating on the chair so its kinda hard. He slowly guided her into the floor to sit and rested her head on his chest.

. . .

BAGAM!!! another thunder roared in the skies . .

. . .

"ITACHI!!!" she called out . . her grip was too tight now, Itachi was surprised . .

. . .

BAGAM!!!!

. . .

"Itachi!!!" the girl was crying in his chest. He looked at her, he had never seen it before . .

She looked so vulnerable . .

He smiled . .

He wiped her tears away . .

She held his warm hands . .

"Don't be afraid . . I'm not going to leave you . ."

. . .

The fear suddenly lessened, with just that sentence all was ok . .

Like how the storm slowly ended that night . .

. . .

After that . .

A rainbow shined upon the skies . .

- - -

"Mashirou-san"

." . . ugh . ."

"Mashirou-san!"

. .ugh! . .

"Mashirou-san! Stand up already!!!'

"AGHHHHH!!! . . . eh . . ahahaha . ." Hikari scratched her head as sign of embarrassment. Her cheeks were red as a tomato too. Everybody laughed at her, some are worried and some didn't care at all. She stood up.

Iruka sighed "Mashirou-san, I don't know what happened to you last night but please don't sleep in class."

"Gomen Sensei . ." she felt embarrassment crawling up her veins.

Iruka continued his class and Hikari sat peacefully in her chair. Her eyes facing the wide blue sky outside. The weather is perfect for an outdoor activity. She wished its P.E class instead, so she has the free will to run outside or just lay there on the grassy grounds and look at the clouds. How she wished she can jump of the building right now . .

She is remembering last night .

. . .

Did I really did it?

. . . Remembering the event . .

"Argggghhhhh!!!" she yelled out and asked Iruka if she can go to the bathroom, she was having her mental paranoia again. She rushed outside like she was running for her dear life. "Please make me forget it already!!!!!!"

"Ne Sasuke-kun, Is Hikari-chan ok?" Sakura asked Sasuke who looks really not in the mood to answer. "Who knows . ."

. . .

Hikari is in he middle of running when she realized that she's in the . .

"College Department . . .?" The girl turned in her back and saw the high school Department waving its hands on her. She turned pale and fell on the floor.

"What should I do . ."

"I still can't forget about . . last night . ."

Its haunting me . .

Last night I was so afraid . . and then he . .

"Don't be afraid . . I'm not going to leave you . ."

"What's up with that?"

And I also . . almost admitted that . .

"NO!!!! I"M NOT!!! I"M NOT!! I TELL YOU!!!!"

. . .

". . . And I even called him in his name!!!"

. . .

Wait!!

Why is that I don't call him by his given name anyway . . ?

She was blushing while thinking and didn't notice that two men are standing in front of her. "OI!! get up you're blocking our way woman!" a voice called out in front of her. She froze, she didn't care to look up. "OIIII!!! Stand up!!! Don't make me do it or else!!!" his tone is really mocking and kinda edgy, how can you say it . . a tone of a delinquent?

She immediately stood and looked at them. The guy who called her attention has white hair and purple eyes, he really looks like a member of some mafia because his shirt was showing his body and wearing a necklace with a circle that has a upside down triangle in it. He was looking really discontented for some unknown reasons. The other guy has a brown hair and green eyes . . and also has stitches from the edge of his lips to his ears. Though he looks like it, he looked more well mannered than the other guy.

She didn't notice what she was doing . .

"Hey!!! I already told you to get lost right? Scram you b*tch!!" the guy with the white hair said with an annoying tone. She looked back at him and gave him the 'What did you say? look with a mixture of I'm fighting you back I'm not afraid look

"And who are you calling b*tch, you as*hole?" she crossed her arms and didn't move aside, she was picking a fight. You can't blame her she's getting annoyed too, a stranger calling you a b*tch, wouldn't be pissed. The man was shocked but immediately smiled, he understood it and is ready to fight back. "Oh yeah? Who else but the dimwitted woman who is standing in front of us." the man smirked, and so is Hikari.

Bolts of lightning emerged at the scene.

The other man sighed. He has to tell his 'comrade' before it turned to be a disaster. "Hidan, stop it already." he said with a calm tone. Hikari looked at him. "Don't you know who is that woman?"

"Like I care?" The man called Hidan said with a ruff tone. Hikari looked at him with a hopeless look, she is currently in a bad mood because him. The demon inside her woke up from its slumber earlier so she's in the 'the demon mode' She's more tough, cool and smart.

"This is the woman were supposed to look for. She's Itachi's wife." Hikari twitched and blushed

"Correction!! NOT. YET. HIS. WIFE." she spoke in annoyed tone. Hidan looked at her and gave her an amusing look.

"Really now . . " the man looked at her from head to toe. Hikari yelled "What the hell are you doing!!!?"

"Feisty aye? No wander he accepted you." What happened to the fight? "You can be a great Jashinist." Hikari let it go ..

"Hikari, am I right? I'm Kakuzu and this is Hidan." Hikari felt at ease with this guy for some reason. His calmer, he reminds her of him for some reasons . .

. . . Remembering the events . . .

She blushed and introduced herself "Oh! I'm Hikari Mashirou, I'm sorry for my rudeness earlier." she bowed and smiled, the demon has been sealed again. "I have to say sorry for my comrade here as well . ."

"She's the one who is sitting idiotically in the halls anyway!! So don't apologize!!" he whined as Hikari and Kakuzu looked at him with a hopeless look.

"You should be the one who is apologizing you idiot." Hidan looked at Hikari who is giving her a nice bleh!!.

"Like hell I'll apologize!! If its for the sake of Jashin maybe I will!! But not with a b*tch like her!!" he smirked. Bolts of lightning rose again.

. . .

Later, the two asked Hikari if she knows when Itachi is going lately and answered them that the man is just busy preparing for something important. They talked for awhile before the two left.

. . .

Hikari is walking through the halls of the high school building, probably in search of her classroom. Her curiosity rose as she remembered what Kakuzu told her.

"Please tell him that the Akatsuki want to talk to him once you've seen him . ."

Akatsuki?

What is that a fraternity or something?

A club?

Hikari opened the classroom door and was welcomed by Kakashi who is in the middle of his discussion. Hikari gave him a sweat drop look and explained why she's gone. It was unacceptable so as a result Kakashi asked him to go to the faculty room before she goes home.

. . .

Last night was already a pain in the head and now Akatsuki is also lingering into her head . . What's next?

Her parents rose from the dead?

There is so much to think about . .

"My life is a hell . ."

. . .

End of Chapter 12

- - -

Next chapter preview:

"Akatsuki? You don't know them?" Kakashi gave her a confused look. Hikari nodded, she's getting agitated for some reasons.

"Oh . . I see . . Well . ." he paused for a while and spoke in a calm tone "Akatsuki is not a club . . like you said it is . ." he gave her an anime sweat drop look. She just nodded, he felt like she really wants to know what's going on so he continued.

"Akatsuki is an Elite group of students that has a special ability or unique talents. They have money and power. And the members of that organization is composed of dangerous people too." Hikari's eyes widened . .

Kakashi continued "The current members are composed of mainly college students and two 3rd year students . ."

"Namely . . ?" Her curiosity is rising. Kakashi can feel it, he continued. "I don't know about about the college students but there is a rumor that Deidara and Sasori of 3-A are members of Akatsuki . ." Hikari is surprised . . Deidara is a member of the organization? If he is then . .

That means . .

"Oh yeah!" The older man remembered "There is also a rumor that the organization control the schools board of directors. Not only that, there is also a rumor that they control the underground doings of the government . . "

Hikari was dumbfounded . .

What Underground doings?
