Tayuya looked away from Itachi's gaze. "I don't know what your talking about bitch." Itachi frowned and pinned her to the nearest tree.
"Tell me so I can make sure it doesn't happen again." She looked up at him surprised. Why would he want to help me? She thought.
"Don't fucking touch me!" She yelled and spat in his face. Itachi growled.
"At least tell me why your out here." Tayuya rolled her eyes and growled. Since when were Uchihas so annoying? She sighed.
"I ran away." She replied simply. Itachi 'hn'ed at her simple answer and let her go. "If you must know Kidomaru was trying to break my flute." Who's Kidomaru? Itachi thought to himself.
"Tayuya-slut!" They heard someone shout in the distance. "Tayuya!" Said two people at the same time. Tayuya's eyes went wide with fear. She looked up into Itachi's face.
"Will you please hide me?" She begged. Itachi was taken aback at the fowl mouth ninjas begging without swearing. He then looked around for a place to hide her finding no such place he took off his cloak.
"Get behind me and wrap your arms around my waist." She did as she was told blushing slightly. Itachi pulled the black and red clouded cloak on. "I'm going to make it look like I'm leaning against the tree to make me look more casual." He backed up and leaned his head and her against the tree just as a group of men came into his sight.
A guy with what looked to have two heads gasped and muttered Akatsuki looking scared.
An albino man who looked to be about the same age at Itachi walked over to him. "Hello, have you seen a really short red head girl wearing a black hat and boy clothes?" Itachi looked over the man. He seemed to be around the same height as himself but he looked really tired and sickly.
Itachi shook his head 'no'. The man sighed and thanked him for his help. "Actually." He responded pondering. "I saw a girl wearing a hat with red hair but she wasn't dressed in boy cloths. It could be the same girl." He responded getting their attention again. "She did seem to be extremely short."
"Can you tell us which way she went?" The older man asked politely.
"What is your business with the girl?" Itachi asked already protective of the girl behind him. A kid with four arms scowled at him.
"None of your damn business!" He hissed to the weasel.
Itachi felt Tayuya's arms tighten around his torso as she buried her face into his back hating the voice that just spoke. He reacted by activated his sharringan. "Hn." He replied, then turned to the sick man. "I'd fix your language if you're going to be in the presence of a lady." He smiled inwardly, although she probably swears more than all those men put together. He thought almost smiling on the outside. The group of men all laughed, except the sick man, he just chuckled.
"She went west." He replied turning off his sharringan.
The sick man bowed and thanked him."Thank you Uchiha, my name is Kimmimaru by the way." Itachi nodded.
"Itachi." He replied.
When they left he started to unbutton his cloak to release the red head from his back, but she squeezed his stomach tighter. He lifted an arm and looked under his arm at her.
"Thank you." She said looking up to him with tear filled eyes. "You're the nicest guy I have ever met." He turned in her arms to face her and wiped her tears away with his calloused thumbs then pushed her gently away from him and started to walk away after fastening his cloak on properly.
"You are safe now." Itachi said as he walked farther away from her. She started following him. Itachi quirked an eyebrow but otherwise did nothing. After a while Itachi turned off the trail and into the woods. Tayuya hesitated but still followed. Itachi sighed. "Why are you following me?" He asked turning to her. She ran right into him surprised and would have fallen if he had not caught the red head.
She blushed and straightened herself out. "I have nowhere else to go so I figured I'd follow your ass around." She replied then quickly added; "Since I owe you, ya know." He smiled down at her and she looked away and glared at a nearby tree.
"Hn." Itachi replied turning around to start walking again.
"Is that a yes to me fucking following you?!" Tayuya yelled at his back.
Itachi lips quirked up in almost a smile. "Would my answer stop you?" He questioned. Tayuya giggled. The Uchiha catches on fast. She thought smiling. Itachi started picking up logs and branches off the forest ground, stacking them on an arm. When they reached a clearing he set them down and looked around.
"Fuck!" Tayuya yelled. Itachi turned around to see a heap of wood at Tayuya's feet and her sucking on a finger.
"Splinter?" Itachi asked snickering at her cute face. She glared at him and started picking at her finger making it bleed more. Itachi walked over to her and sighed. "You're just making it worse." He grabbed her hand and licked the blood off with his tongue making Tayuya blush. Then he blew on it, sparks flying from his lips and into the cut, when the piece of wood inside Tayuya was burnt he stuck her finger in his mouth and sucked out the ash from the wood.
Tayuya gasped and turned a deep red. "Th-thank you." She breathed. Itachi just 'hn'ed' and picked up the wood she dropped and started to make a fire.
It's nice to have someone bring in wood. Itachi thought as he started their fire. Usually Kisame just fishes for food and Itachi starts the fire.
"Were going to need more wood for the fire if were staying here tonight." Tayuya stated. Itachi nodded well cleaning his ninja tools. "I'm going to go get more wood." She said and started walking back into the trees.
It was after her second load she was taking a while so Itachi got up to look for her, and that's when he heard the scream.
