Chapter Two: Place to Stay
Deidre needed a place to stay, and Itachi would be damned if he would allow her to stay with anyone else but him. His meeting her wasn't a coincidence, no; it was fate that brought them together, and he wasn't about to pass this up.
"We don't know, Itachi, this could be a trap." He walked over to his companion.
"Or it could be that this girl really was going to be sacrificed." His officer crossed his arms and pouted. He was young, but a little older than Itachi himself.
"Alright, but you take her because I'm not willing to take the risk, and neither will anyone else here." He scanned the room and not one of them raised their heads to take her. Itachi looked at the Hokage and he nodded.
"Then it's settled. She stays with me." The meeting was dismissed. Itachi found her in the waiting room of the police station, and she was singing. Her voice carried like an angel, a sweet and innocent angel. The lyrics of the song were enchanting him. He came up to her, but he didn't want to interrupt her beautiful song. It was pure magic, and it was putting him to sleep.
"Excuse me," he said and she turned around.
"I'm sorry, Sir, but I didn't hear you approaching me." He smiled at her.
"It's okay, and don't call me sir. My name's Uchiha Itachi." She nodded, and smiled. "Anyway, you're going to be staying with me." She nodded again, never faltering in her smile. Itachi felt something in his chest. Was it love? No, he shouldn't fall in love, he was an Anbu Captain, and he couldn't stay with her. He'd never be able to stay with her. He led the way to his house, but what would he say to his parents? His father would already know about this because news travels fast in the police station, but what would his mother say? What would Sasuke say? It was already a problem with him bringing home a woman. He looked at Deidre, and he felt a feeling inside his chest, something that was very dangerous in his line of work. Who was this woman?
Who was this man? Deidre felt something very strange with this man, but what was it? She knew that her kind doesn't love. They do their duty and move on. Then what was this feeling that she kept having even in his presence? It wasn't anger, sadness, or even envy. What was it? She kept up the illusion of a smile while she walked along side him, and kept an eye on him. She knew he kept stealing glances at her.
"So," she began, "do you have any siblings?" he let out a soft chuckle. She guessed that as a no.
"A little brother," she was wrong.
"What's his name?" He let out a long sigh.
"Uchiha Sasuke, he's a huge handful, but I do love him." A little brother named Sasuke that was a shocker, and made her mission a lot harder.
When they arrived at his house, Itachi called out, "Mom, I'm home, and I've brought someone," he told Deidre to take off her shoes, and she did so. She looked around. It was a nice little house although little was an understatement. The mats on the floor she's seen before. They were called …tatami mats. They were so soft. They made their way towards the back of the house.
"Mom, where are you?" There was a little noise coming from a room.
"In the kitchen, Love, your brother will be home soon so I'm making him a little snack." They entered the kitchen/dining room. His mother turned around and gasped.
"Who's your friend?" Deidre shyly smiled.
"Mom, this is my friend, Deirdre. I found her at the site of that complaint. She was going to be sacrificed to that Demon God." The woman gasped.
"Well, Deidre, stay as long as you like. I'm Uchiha Mikoto, but you can call me Miko-san." Deidre nodded to Mikoto. Itachi looked at his mother. There was a problem.
"Mom, Deidre has no place to sleep." Mikoto looked at her son.
"Yes she does. We have an extra bedroom. Your father and I are shooting for a daughter." Itachi rolled his eyes.
"Really, Mom," Mikoto shrugged, and then there was a small voice sounding in the front of the house.
"Okasan, I'm home. Is Niisan home?" Mikoto giggled and smiled.
"Sasuke, in here, and there is someone else here." The little Uchiha walked into the kitchen/dining room, and he looked at Deidre.
"Who are you?" Mikoto Gasped.
"Sasuke, that's rude. This is Deidre, and she'll be staying with us for a while." Sasuke grumbled something under his breath. "We don't like mumblers in this house." Sasuke rolled his eyes.
"Sorry, Okasan," Mikoto gave Sasuke his snack, and she looked at Itachi and Deidre.
"You hungry, sorry, I don't mean to be rude." Deidre shook her head.
"No thank you, I'm not that hungry." But the fact was that she was starving, the eternal thirst plagued her and held her in its grips. She couldn't allow them to know her secret. Not yet, anyway. Mikoto shrugged and gave Itachi his snack which he took greatly. She heard his heart pound in his chest, his blood flowing through his veins. She gulped and reigned in her hunger as much as she could until she came back to the real world.
"Deidre, are you listening?" Her head turned towards Mikoto.
"I'm sorry, what was that?" Mikoto looked her strangely.
"I have some old clothes that would fit you, and you can use the bathroom so you can clean up. But first let me tend to the wounds." Deirdre quickly stepped back away from her.
"No thank you, I'll just go wash up. I just need a bath, and I'll be fine." Mikoto looked confused.
"O-kay, I'll leave the clothes in your room. Let me show you." Deidre nodded, and then they left.
There was something very strange about that girl. She just stood there; her eyes closed tightly, and looked like she was in pain. She didn't even listen to his mother until her pain subsided. She was suffering. He felt deep sadness in his heart, and he needed to find out why she was suffering, and how he could help her. He got up and headed towards the bathroom door in the hallway.
"Niisan, where are you going?" Itachi sighed and faced his little brother.
"I'm unraveling a mystery. Stay out of this because it's very dangerous." Sasuke nodded and let his brother pass.
