Chapter 7: Time flowing by
It is unbelievable how the next 4 months flew by. Naruto and me had the chance to talk with the other four Bijuus, Yonbi: Son Gokuu, Gobi: Kokuou, Rokubi: Saiken and Shichibi: Choumei, but their answer was all the same, to wait so, Tsunade decided on our plan C to contact the other remaining Jinchuurikis, Killer Bee and Gaara and talk to all of the Bijuus at once to get over with this matter.
They were scary beasts but deep down they only wanted peace, their own and for the humans, but I wasn´t one bit scared, something I couldn´t tell about Mikoto, I even joked about bringing her here and let her talk sense into these big "Babies". To have as an answer just a nod and "That is Plan Z when nothing else works" isn´t reassuring one bit.
How I came to think of sweet Mikoto like that? It was just a few weeks after me and Itachi began dating when his clan elders thought to have a word about it, thinking back I can laugh about it but in that moment, I was scared.
Flashback
Some weeks after New year
Naruto and I were done talking to this giant ape Son Gokuu,
´This ass, only if I could hurt him I would have wrung his neck and-´
´Calm down, 21, 22, 23, deep breathes´
´That swine -grumble-´
Outside of that room we held out little chat with the others and when we were done Itachi stepped to my side brushing a strand of my hair behind my ear and gave me this little smirk of his with a playful glint. I slowly get to know him more and, somehow, he was always greatly amused by watching me pacing in anger and have an argument with him overlooking the fact that he didn´t even talked, and then looking at his calm form always let my anger dissolve into air letting me see that I was acting childish.
"How about dango?" He asked me.
"Exactly that what I need now" I just said hooking my arm around his and we left together the building.
He learned one thing fast, I wasn´t easy to anger, something was amusing about it and beside his presence, sweets always helped me to calm down.
Nearing our favourite café Sasuke suddenly showed up with a big frown on his face.
"Otouto*?" Itachi until now relaxed and say even happy was now stiff in expectation of bad news.
"The elders want to see you and...Yuuki. Tsh" he turned his head so we couldn´t see the full fury on his face, but guessing from his actions and hesitation on my name, the elders have a problem with me.
´It was time they call us in for questioning and fighting´
Itachi now frowned too and nodded at his brother, who then disappeared.
"Think we will get our dangos at another time" He said taking my arm away and laid his hand on my hip and pulled me into his side, the only signal for me was his other raised hand in a handsign, when we already poofed away.
We now stood before a shrine like building and two Uchiha guards bowed to Itachi and opened the door.
"Ready?" He asked and a wicked grin spread on my face.
"Oh I´m ready, the question is, are they ready?" Passing the guards that didn´t look back Itachi stopped for a moment and kissed me shortly but intensely.
"I really like your spirit" and he gave me this absolute die for seductive smile.
´God this smile should be forbidden´
´Or signed as a deathly weapon...and you know the best...he is yours´
´Don´t give me ideas´
´I don´t need to´
Entering the big room down the hallway, I for the first time saw the elders of the Uchiha clan, old mens and womans were sitting on all three sides of the wall and two cushions laid in the middle, clearly for us.
Itachi moved first and I, knowing some of their old ways, was behind him and also sat down after he did.
"Itachi do you know why we called you?" The man with long beard in the middle before us asked.
"Because of my girlfriend" He wore his impassive mask granting him an aura of being untouchable.
"We don´t approve of your choice" Itachi raised an eyebrow.
"I don´t need your approval" smooth with an ice cold underlining, his I call "business behaviour" was really fascinating.
"Don´t get cocky brat, we are the clan elders deciding who is going to be next head of the Uchihas and we are in the position to also choose the wife for the future head. A worthy woman cable of bearing your strong children and being the perfect wife, not a bitch like this girl" an older woman ranted from the side.
´Did I heard the b word?´
´Yes you did´
My earlier nervous smile turned in one sickly sweet and I nearly giggled remembering my former brothers that at the sight of that smile were running over the hills.
Itachi stiffened and shot the elder woman a short glare, but quickly collected his cold facade.
"You have no proof of her being unworthy" He only replied.
"She is a civilian woman! Not even cable of becoming a ninja because she doesn´t have enough Chakra!" Someone else spat at us.
´Oh he didn´t-´
My smile fell into a frown, he hit a sore point, but I couldn´t tell them why I can´t be a ninja or I would only see the sick side of humans craving for every scratch of power.
"She is hanging too much around other mens are you even sure she is faithful?"
"She was raised poorly, she can´t fit into our clan and its traditions"
"She lives without a family, they died, sure she won´t be a good mother, with no mother to teach her"
"Yes and without family she is not worth it, there will be no benefit"
"She is just a gold digger Itachi, drop her"
"She will sullen the Sharigan"
With each sentence Itachis hackles raised and I saw a short flash of red in his eyes and I quickly laid a hand on his knees.
I was ready for this, but it didn´t hurt less, my smile widened and I finally let a certain sharpness shown in my eyes.
"You sure a trying to hold the blood pure, but I can say you it won´t be long and the first signs of intense inbreeding will show, but that is not my part to tell you, maybe that of a competent doctor." I grinned.
´Rip them apart´
´On it´
"And yes I´m around a lots a mens, mainly the next heirs of the other strong clans of this village. My parents died early in the fight against sound, but the Nara and Akimichi clan saw it as their duty to raise me in a proper way, surly also in the hope I would marry one of their heirs, all of the clans offered me a space to live even the Hyuugas."
´Hit them where it hurts´
"In a wise move I didn´t choose any of them not wanting to offend any of them and to keep my bonds to them. And me a gold digger?" My smiled turned to the evil madness side.
"I´m working directly under Shikaku since I´m 13 after beating him in a shogi match watched by the third, Tsunade and Kakashi, you sure know that makes me a genius in my own right. I have ties to the higher ups and not only in Konoha. I hope you understand now that the real question is if I need you, the Uchiha clan. I don´t need you, you don´t benefit me, but still I´m willing to put up with you, because I´m in love with Itachi and care for Sasuke."
"You insolent-!" One of the elders raised his voice and Itachi twitched under my hand, but then froze. I looked at him quizzed when he relaxed and pulled me nearer to him.
The door flew open and Mikoto strode inside.
"I heard enough! YOU **** **** ****(here you can use your own fantasy to fill in the swearing)! YOU DARE TRYING TO DESTROY MY SONS HAPPINESS, MY CHANCE TO BE A GRANDMOTHER, I WON´T LET YOU!" My eyes nearly popped out of my head by Mikoto using such vile language and the look of her, she looked like how Kunshina was portrayed when she got angry, these two womans were best friends and Kunshina clearly rubbed off on Mikoto. She raised hell.
"Mikoto that is not how the wife of the clan head acts" One of the old womans had enough courage to interrupt Mikoto, who stopped and got silent and I fought down the reflex of hiding behind Itachi. A smile bloomed on Mikotos face.
"Dear I think we don´t need an elder council anymore, right?" Somehow everyone missed the presence of the clan head, who looked confused at his wife and opened his mouth to protest, but stopped at seeing Mikoto making a squeezing motion and then a ripping one and he grew pale.
"I think we don´t need them you are right"
´She just-! Woah this woman, she-woah´
"Fugaku you can´t-!"
"He can, I looked into the archive and found this scroll saying it is possible for the Clan head to remove the elders from their position when they don´t support the benefit of this clan, and for sure it won´t be for a benefit to offend me so that I would think of ripping my dear husbands balls off and take my children and go with sweet Yuuki to Ame, right?"
´Wow´
My jaw hit the floor and mine wasn´t the only one after hearing some more thumbs on the floor.
Giving the elders said scroll to read, Fugaku pulled out another one stating formally the removal of the elder council, and I now saw him in another light, being married to Mikoto wasn´t an easy feat I nearly pitied him, but still he married her so he must be happy with this she-devil.
Flashback End
After that I didn´t just saw Fugaku in another light but also Mikoto and I slowly began to suspect why Itachi liked my outbursts sometimes. After that incident Mikoto was back to her usual self and offered us some of her homemade dangos and me and Itachi continued our dating phase.
Sometimes we planned our dates and sometimes we just meet in the streets and decide to spend some time together, sometimes he will pick me up from work or in the rare occasion I would go the ANBU building and wait outside of it for him, while being watched by a lot of unseen eyes, they creeped me out so I didn´t do it that often.
He was a sweet and thoughtful man doing little things for me, nothing big, little things like brining me sweets when the working day was extra-long, or hug me when he sees I need it, but when thanking him he always would only say.
"Hn", not a man of much words in such situations, but I could see the warmth in his eyes.
Is he a jealous type or possessive? He didn´t like when other guys come near me, but he tries to supress it and it wasn´t the only thing he supressed every now and then. I could see and feel the heat in his eyes, but he does a good job at hiding it before me.
It was now summer and Asumas and Kurenais daughter was born a cut little girl keeping everyone, especially Shikamaru, on their toes.
Also, Bee and Gaara arrived in the village, for the experiment of talking with all of the Bijuus at once and now we all, Naruto, me, Bee, Gaara, Tsunade and Shikaku, were now standing in the room.
Under Naruto, Bee and Gaara were some seals that should have the same effects like the ones on the scroll.
"Activate them" Tsunade ordered and the room was for a short moment filled with the light of the activating chakra and then went pitch black until the first Bijuus showed themselves.
"Seems like you were faster than I thought" Matatabi commented and the Bijuus all looked at each other.
"Finally" rasped Kurama stretching like a cat and Shukaku sniffed at me and the Hachibi did it too.
"Uhm" I felt a bit awkward with two of these giant beasts sniffing at me and then both touched me with their nose and I felt the sensation of sharing my memories.
"So he was right about this light talking" Shukaku mumbled and Gyuuki, the Hachibi rapped something.
"You waited to be gathered together. Why?" Shikaku moved straight to the point.
"He never told us what to do when we found the light, he said it will find us, and now" Son Gokuu said and shrugged his shoulders. I thought of that no one said what I or the light would do after finding the Bijuus.
´Maybe-´
´Hmmm...sounds good´
"Naruto, I want you to hear his dream, to look at him and decide if it is worth fighting for. And then we will set you free or you can choose to be with a Jinchuuriki again."
Everyone looked at me surprised even Naruto.
"Eeehhh!? Why me?"
"Talk boy" Kokuou ordered and Naruto slowly and with some stammers began to talk.
It was a long discussion but we pushed through it until we reached an understanding, Tsunade did already negated with the other villages about their plans for the captured Bijuus and they agreed to accept whatever decision the Bijuus make.
Matatabi, Isobu and Kokuou wanted to be set free and agreed not to attack humans unless to defence themselves. The others were used to their Jinchuurikis and agreed to choose one to be sealed inside again. From now on they will watch over each other and Naruto promised to help them with any trouble they get.
"But how will you find your new hosts?"
"We will roam the land and when we find one willing to take us we will let us be sealed away"
A special contract was sealed with involving chakra and pain if they should break the contract.
With that it was done and I let out a sight.
"I would have offered you to be my host, but I already know you wouldn´t have agree to not bring your village in a dangerous position for having two tailed beasts." Matatabi purred before she was sealed away in the scroll. The beasts that wanted to be set free already choose their territory and will be bought there in the following week.
Leaving finally the room I felt lighter and a smile spread over my face, I could now concentrate more on the building relationship between me and Itachi.
For all his good traits he also had his edges. He wasn´t a big talker and he really was possessive and protective of me despite trying to hide it. And he could be a mischievous bastard when he wants to be, something I would never have guessed, but were made aware a few days ago.
Flashback
It was a really hot day and I for once wore a white shirt and bra and went for a walk by the lake, Itachi was away on a little trip with his brother. The air around the lake was a bit cooler and I laid down on the grass and closed my eyes.
I was woken by a shade falling over me, but then it was already too late and the person dropped me into the lake.
I swam back to the surface and gave the person that returned to the chore an evil glare only to recognise Itachi whose eyes were glinting in amusement.
"You! Why!?" I swam back to the chore and slowly raised out of the water.
"In your position I wouldn´t do that" He said pointily looking down on my shirt, my white shirt...that would be see through by now, with a white bra. My arms snapped to cover my breasts still glaring at Itachi who was enjoying himself way too much.
"Oh great, how embarrass my girlfriend in public" I grumbled moving to walk away only for him to stop me and whispers in my ears after giving hit a short nibble.
"No how I get my girlfriend to wear my shirt and come with me home to stay over because my mother fears you could get a cold and die before we get the chance to marry."
I opened my mouth to say something intelligent but was cut off by a shirt that was pulled over my head and down and no he didn´t made a move to get my arms through the arm hole he just hugged me and teleported away with me like that right in the Uchiha garden before Mikoto who like he predicted fretted over me being wet and how this could be dangerous to run around like that even in summer and I should stay overnight just to be sure and my clothes would be dry by then for sure.
´This bastard´
I threw him a nasty glare while being pushed into the bathroom, but he returned that with this god damm sexy confident and seductive smile of his that screamed "I´m a bastard and you still love me for this".
Flashback End
No one would believe me when I would tell them of these pranks this bastard sometimes pulls on me, because, who Itachi the ice cube acting childish? Never.
But I only returned the favour, once when I slept over in my flat and took a shower his normal warm shower he got an ice cold one cursing. You don´t need a Genjutsu to switch the red and blue strip and also it is no act to turn off the boiler. Or the time when I magically disappeared with his clothes that were spread through the alley, bait for his fan girls. That was great and I even got a compliment about that one, it was a sight to see how they found him at his own flat where he teleported to change and being met with fangirls that expected him to be naked and just decided to get rid of his clothes again and chased him for a while through the village.
Oh Shisui and I had a good laugh at that, but I knew his revenge will follow, for that he planned something great and waited with it until it didn´t expect it anymore.
But first things first I separated from my friends that wanted me to came along to swim in the lake, but still went there or more like to a tree near it.
"I could use a hand" I smirked up to Itachi and Shisui sitting on a branch and Itachi swiftly reached down and to show off his strength lifted my up with only one arm out of an awkward position.
"Show off" I grumbled.
"Ssshhh it will be done every moment the last one is missing"
We watched the guys all entering the water and last Sasuke, they played and dipped each other in the water not finding it suspicious that no one else was there and even the girls had all something to do.
"Oky lets do this" Shisui said and formed some handsings.
"Release" He had a wide grin on his face and I did too when the Genjutsu over the lake faded away, leaving behind pink water with glitter in it, oh Itachi and Shisui could clean it again with some simple water jutsus but the following reaction of the guys would be worth it.
It was special paint not meant to be washed away with water so all of the guys now were coloured from the tip of their hair down to their feet in bright glittering pink and Shisui chose that moment to let his cameras go off making pictures of the poor guys.
"So I will collect the blackmailing pictures, cya" Shisui said and flickered away.
Itachi helped me down the tree dusting some dirt away and then –poof-
"YUUKI!" I turned around seeing the enraged guys storming to me and I got out of my eyes a glimpse of a photo attached to my shirt.
´Oh that is a good one Itachi´
And so I began trying to outrun them, but failed and was thrown into the pink hell and I, being a civilian, didn´t have the perk of a teleport jutsu or just be fast enough to not been see in this state.
So I stomped with my head hold high, down the streets up to my flat ignoring the stares and laughter on my way. When I closed the door, I hurried into the bathroom to look at the damage and try to get rid of it somehow.
Standing under the shower I thought over Itachis fangirls. They for sure would have liked me with my new look, already trying to destroy our relationship, they began to sabotage some dates and while Itachi played some harmless pranks on me they were downright bully me. Itachi after seeing the first hate mail for me wanted to deal with them, but I only shook my head and said I will do it myself, but now 3 month later I still didn´t found a way to talk with all of them.
Voices in the hallway before the bathroom door startled me out of my daze and I hurriedly finished my shower and wrapped a big towel around me. Opening the door I found Shisui with a big bag and Itachi, who looking at me gave me this illegal smirk of his.
´You are so in love with him´
´I´m´
´That is good...this peace with him´
´Peace!?´
´You know what I mean hihihi´
´True´
I really tried to stay angry at him but then I felt it melting away at this smirk and just huffed looking away with a pout in my lips.
"Hahahaha She is mad at you Itachi"
"She isn´t" he only said, suddenly embracing me from behind and nuzzled my neck and I could now even feel that smirk on my skin.
"I´m not, but you went a bit overbroad with the paint...I think you must live with it to have a pink glittering girlfriend for the next weeks" I grumbled.
"Ah there I can help" Shisui grinned and quickly formed a Jutsu and then touched me. The paint fell off from me like magic, it seemed to dry and then just falling off like dust.
"Hmmm...not bad" I said looking at my now normal colouring.
"So why are you here?" I asked relaxed, liking how Itachis warmth slowly began to travel through my body.
"To share the prizes" Shisui grinned and went to the living room and dumped the contend of the bag on my coffee table. I went to sit down when Itachi took my hand and pulled me to my room and pushed me inside.
"You should change first"
´Hmm...could it be that he liked this view and don´t want to share?´
´Could be´
Smiling at that thought I changed into clean clothes.
"Does your trick also work for clothes?" I asked Shisui when I entered my living room.
"Sure" He grinned and took the pink clothes in his hands and cleaned them like me before and handed me them back.
"Really handy" I mused and quickly put my clothes in the washer and came back.
"So let us see what you got here" I grinned and pulled my little photo album for prank pictures out of a hidden space in my book shelf.
"Heheheh" and so we all sat until the evening at the table and went over the pictures and discussed who of us kept which pictures.
Going to bed alone was sadly not that rare, but it gave me always space to think over some other things than when Itachi was sleeping at my side, where I only thought of him.
So sorry that I'm late but I still hope you leave me some rebiews as a christmas present ;3
