Thank you so much to Shin Fuz and fang2ooo. You two gave me the strength to actually continue this story. Only to find out I only had the epilogue left anyway, plus the sequel to do. So, enjoy the epilogue! And I shall have the sequel up soon.

Disclaimer: I do not own Naruto.

Epilogue: Itachi

"All rise. Court is now in session."

I risked a glance over at Aneya. She stood between Sasuke and Naruto, her lip still quivering very slightly. The once bright, feisty, and alive girl was pale with fear. A fear I myself feel.

A fear that reality is now catching up to us cold and hard.

~Flashback~

"Mm, something smells divine," a husky voice murmured behind me. I smiled as Aneya's arms wrapped around my waist.

"How'd you sleep, koi?" I put the eggs on a plate with pancakes and turned to face her.

"Wonderfully."

"Good." I put a hand on her waist and leaned my head down to kiss her softly. Sighing, Aneya opened her mouth to my conquering tongue.

"Itachi, were you expecting company?" she asked softly as I backed her into the nearest wall.

"No, why?"

"There's…." A sudden crash behind me prompted me to separate from the teen. I was then yanked backwards by the arms. "Itachi!" I was roughly forced to my knees and handcuffed too tightly.

"Itachi Uchiha, you are under arrest."

~End Flashback~

"Aneya, do you admit you had been in a relationship with your sensei for four weeks now?" My head snapped up at the prosecutor's question.

"Five weeks and two days, get your facts straight," she slightly sneered. Her façade is back with a vengeance.

"Even though you knew it was illegal?"

"A lot of things that have happened to me are, as you call it, illegal. Including that police officer yanking me by my pretty red hair when I refused to do as he said." 'Tread carefully, Mr. Lawyer. Aneya is a force to be reckoned with,' I thought.

"Your honor, this is obviously a sixteen year old…."

"Seventeen as of Saturday. Get. Your. Facts. Straight."

"…girl who is very impulsive."

"You haven't seen impulsive yet. But keep going the way you are, and you will."

"Her testimony cannot be counted as reliable due to her naivety. Anything she says will be the words of a love struck cynic."

"Love struck cynic? You…."

"Your testimony is no longer re…." He just fell into her hole of Hell.

"Shut up!" The entire room went silent as she slammed her hands onto the stand and rose to her feet. "Now you listen to me, Mr. I-Have-A-Degree-In-Law-So-I'm-Holier-Than-Thou Pants. Itachi Uchiha is the sweetest person on this planet. He is the sole person alive I have met that sees me as myself rather than the badass seducer."

"Your Honor…."

"Did I give you permission to speak?!" I think the guy just crapped his pants and whimpered (though I don't blame him). "Itachi knows my father abused me. He knows that bastard Orochimaru killed Sai and then raped me. He probably put together the fact that the only reason we're here is because said bastard ratted us out."

"Your…."

"One more time, and I'm switching to impulsive. Itachi is my one and only true love. And I'll be damned if I let you put him in jail for 'statutory rape'!" She huffed and sat in the chair, crossing her arms over her chest. "I'm done."

"You may take your seat now, Aneya." She walked back to her seat between her friends.

~Line Break~

"Has the jury reached a verdict?" A juror stood.

"Yes, Your Honor. In the case of statutory rape against a minor, we find the defendant not guilty." I sighed softly in relief and caught Aneya doing the same. "In the case of unlawful relations with his student, we find the defendant guilty."

"No!" Naruto and Sasuke held onto Aneya as she collapsed, tears streaming down her cheeks.

"Because I cannot sentence you to time, you are free to go, Itachi. Aneya, however, I am putting you back in the custody of your mother."

"No! You can't do this!" She snatched away from the boys and jumped onto the bench. She leapt towards me, but two body guards grabbed her. "Don't you understand?! I can't live with her! She's almost as bad as my father was!"

"Listen to her! You're making a mistake!" Naruto declared as the guards began carrying her to the doors.

"Itachi, don't let them take me! Please!" She reached out for me, but the security guards held me back as she was carried away from me. Forever.

That is the end of Itachi's Pet. Look forward to the sequel, which should come either next week or next month. Bye!

Reviews are greatly appreciated.
