Disclaimer: I don't want to say the obvious. It's kinda…. sad for me that they're not mine. Hiks…
Pairing: Ita-Naru. Maybe others as well… just see
Warning: This is a…You-Know-What story. I believe you know. Just look at the pairings to know don't you think so? I think you know. You've been reading the five previous chapters, haven't you?
A/N: hey there... it's me again. Well, kinda hard for me to do my fics now. Huuhuhuhuw… but I tried my best, trust me. I nag my uncle to lend me his computer, but his house is soooooo far away. So I could only do it once in a while. Hahahaha… pity me kay.
And I'm really sorry for the late chapter.
This chapter, it's going to be Itachi's POV. It has no big conversation. Kinda fun to write it. So, that's why it took so long to finish. It's not as good as others with their kind of imagination about Itachi, and I'm terribly sorry if this Itachi's kinda OOC. Didn't mean to, but, sometimes, my hands worked on its own accord, and I'm only its unwilling slave. I know this Itachi will be very different, but because I love him so much... I'll make it as my wish, heheheheheheh...
Oh, and please bear in mind that 'MY' Akatsuki leader name will not be Pein/Pain or whatever you want to call him. I have my own leader, and he sure is not the one Kishimoto-Sensei created.
Please enjoy this chapter, kay?
BIG HUGS and Thanks to my beta: Imperial Mint-Chan… Love you soooooooooooooooooo…. Much….

Chapter 6
(Itachi's POV)
A boring journey on a bright sunshine day.
This is indeed a boring one. A boring trip he has, and it's a really boring vacation. And again with Kisame, the shark-man, his big partner.
It's supposed to be a 'quite' fun to be alone, enjoying the quietness, the calmness around him. He wants to spend it alone. But noooo… of course not. He's only a common member of the biggest, the meanest, and the largest criminal organization in the Ninja world, Akatsuki. He's not the leader, so he has no privilege to enjoy the 'supposed to be fun' vacation.
This is a one month vacation but he has to spend it with his partner. This is a really rarely received vacation, he doesn't know why but he's not going to ask. But why does he have to spend it with his annoying partner?
He knows that it is just a wishful thinking to have something pleasant in his vacation, but of course he doesn't need anything to make it worse.
He finds it hard to stay sane when he's followed around, and he really wants to make his mind clear from the thoughts of making Sushi from his partner's body parts. It would be nice actually.
He took a deep calm sigh, along with a slight roll of his eyes (in a un-Uchiha-like manner) when he remembered the memory when his leader told him about good news concerning his vacation, and the bad news concerning his companion on the vacation.
The good news is that if he goes now, the shark will fetch him in two days, after whatever he wants to do is done. It will be so bad if Kisame has to die in his hands, but if the shark did not learn how to control his behaviour near him on HIS vacation, a few sharp kunais will do. He almost can't handle it.
He really has to find something to alleviate his ever growing stress by being near the sickly-blue companion all the time.
Or he'll explode.
He gave slight nods to his other companions, and he poofed out of sight after he received the news.
He closed his eyes after the memory, and he de-activated his Sharingan. It's a vacation after all, no need to bother himself with the chakra-thing.
He sped up through the woods, jumping and bouncing, rather gracefully (still an Uchiha, mind you) but as fast as he could without chakra used. He tried to make his first few days as fun as possible. If Kisame is going to follow within two days, he'll just have to make it three days instead. Having spare-time is no problem at all. It's even good; the spare time to enjoy… to cherish, before he'll be bothered again.
With his speed and his agility, he's going to make it. Sure he'll do.
No problem at all, because, again, he's still an Uchiha.
So he sped up again, jumping faster and faster.
Soon, he spotted a small village, he stopped in a thin branch without even making the branch bended, and he figuring that apparently it's a non-ninja village, from the lack of ninja guardians near the gates. And he doesn't see anything in ninja fashion-like in the village.
--
He had found a fine place at last. A non-ninja village will have nothing to bother him and he could relax. A nice degree of personal space, and of course a comfortable silence. No one know him to be scared of him.
A really good Onsen, a good food, and the largest hit, a really nice 'view'. He saw a really nice young person yesterday, wearing a simple bluish-greenish yukata. He noticed that the person has a nicely shaped body, and a great long deep brown hair, with a pair of deep brown eyes. He saw something different, and it's kinda bothered him when he saw this person. It's strange. He felt like he knows this person.
The person is really easy to get to laugh or just smiled at anyone on her sight, and always surrounded with girls. She blushed several times when the girls giggled behind her, and she pouting when she was teased. But soon her smile bloomed again, so bright it almost rivalled the sun above, sometimes along with a light blush over her cheeks.
He found it's amusing to know that that kind of person is really exist. He knows what kind of job she's dealing with, but still, she could smile as if nothing's happened.
He knows that he knows her, but he can't put his hands in 'when and where he knew' her.
He washed his face, and stood from the Onsen-pool he used. He stepped out, completely un-caring at his naked-ness, and walking to the dressing room and got dressed into his white yukata that stood out against his wet black hair and black eyes. He's hungry right now.
He's not hungry now, his eyes widen slightly as he saw her walked out from the Onsen-house with her girl-friends, chatting and blabbering nothing. He smirks slightly, and decided to follow her. He doesn't know why he did it, he just did it.
He silently walked, not realizing, using his ninja skills, even though he really doesn't need them. He saw them stepping in a big house, known as the biggest Okiya in the village, in front of a big street where many peoples crossing at.
He stands a while and he spotted an inn in front of the Okiya. He walked in and he reserved a room with a view of the Okiya. He paid and walked out to fetch his belongings from the previous inn.
--
Now, with nothing else to do, he just sat in the Tatami-floor, opening the window and just looking at the Okiya that had started to make some business. Wandering alone in the harsh world makes him thinks too hard sometimes. Like this time, when he got nothing else to do rather than waiting for few things, his mind is starting to revolving and doing things he didn't really want it to do.
Like…... thinking about his empty life. It's really empty. As empty as anyone could ever imagine.
It's all about the emptiness he felt in his whole life. No matter how many times he tried to erase the feeling, it's just going to keep getting bigger, larger, and stronger. He can't erase it from his mind or his heart. It's gnawing at his conscious mind now.
In his own family, in his friendship, in his working relation, in... Mostly everything he does. Not even this organization could suffice him from the consuming feeling he felt.
Like walking alone in the darkest part of the night, alone, with no one or anything to help with guidance. With no light, with nothing.
Ever.
He knew his power, his strength, his brain, and he knew himself very well. But he put it in a wrong part of his life. He put it in something that's useless.
He knows his stupidity, even when everyone he saw and he didn't see speaks about his massive genius, he never felt that he is one. He called his little brother 'foolish', but he knows better. He is the foolish one. His brother has a vision and a mission in his simple life, something to achieve: to over power him and get their father's acknowledgement. But he has nothing to do.
His family is the most foolish of all things he known alive. THAT he knows for sure, something you know without doubt, something like... sky is blue, ice is cold, or fire is hot. It's natural thing!
That's why he felt that this 'foolishness-disease' is down to genetics somehow.
The sickly family, only looking at his bloodline, only looking at his skill, talent, brain, and nothing more. Never the 'Itachi' inside. They all would gladly jump over a cliff just to please him, just because he is the famous genius heir.
How tiresome.
He could easily flip them, like he did back there, again, again, again, and again. Without hesitation.
Just look at his now-becoming-too-foolish little brother. Setting his mind on a wrong thing.
But... Who is he to point finger? He is a foolish too. Or at least, he felt like a fool once upon a time.
Maybe he just wants to escape his confinement that he joined this damned-boring-as-hell organization. But it's never served to alleviate his emptiness. The organization is merely a playing tool for him to shove his boring feeling at. And maybe to fool around while he had nothing to do.
He hasn't found his real intention in life. His brother surely found one, and he's almost sure that Sasuke really should've felt grateful.
What should he do is something he asked for himself. It's no longer fun in this organization, with the stupid goal the leader set. He knew the power of the members. Very little to make him felt interested at all. The members never knew about his real intention in joining the organization, or his real power, and he never plans on telling them anytime soon. It's not like he couldn't handle them all at once. They're all nothing.
But the leader will prove a different case.
The first reason he joined in is just because of the curious thing in his mind.
How strong is the leader?? And is that stupid reason is really the only reason he set? Itachi felt something's different about that. As if like... the leader is hiding few things behind his back, and Itachi knows he wont like it if he knows about it.
The second is just to demolish his family.
Oh, the satisfaction... He still could feel it when he remembered that time.
The day he whacked 99 of his family is the second greatest day in the entire life of Uchiha Itachi. The first being when Sasuke was delivered. Well, yes, he does love his little brother, and he still does. Before said little brother was blinded by power. But, that's a different case now.
That is the past. When he's shaking his head from the memories, he realized that dusk had passed and it's time to get the thing that's swimming is his brain, some 'thing' with brown hair and brown eyes that he recognized easily right now.
He's a true-genius after all.
He stands up, changed his clothes, walked out from the inn, and walked inside the Okiya. He stated his business, and was easily escorted to one room inside. His order came in and he almost couldn't help it any longer.
It's so much fun, indeed. She came gracefully and doing this and that, just to do his orders.
He makes her dance, and inside his heart, he had to acknowledge that she's doing a wonderful job.
And just when he's almost into the wonderful part, his stupid partner decided to come and ruining all the things he has in mind.
He really needs to change his partner as soon as he finished his vacation.
He booked her for the second day yesterday. Still, it's so much fun just to look at her pale but flushed face. Blessed his poker-face. He asked her about this and that, and few little things about herself too, which made her stuttered. Ha... a verrry enjoyable moment.
And he's just thinking how about getting a little more fun. THIS is that kind of stress-relief he really need right now. Not about bloody things, broken limbs, and smashing few heads out of his path. Just... enjoying the view and the great services she gave right now.
He had a solid plan for tomorrow night, a nice and wonderful one. He's already booked her for tomorrow. He almost snickered when he remembered it. For now, he'll just relax and enjoying the performances along with a few bottle of sake.
He could see her stress as it started to mount from where he's seated, but he's a customer right now. And he decided to enjoy it as much as he could.
Yes, Uchiha Itachi is a mean person.
--
Today, after meeting her and teased her, and enjoying the view she provided in front of the onsen, he's going to take her for some decent dinner. He booked a fancy restaurant and he has to go and pick her now. His plan is including some food and few cups of strong sake.
He helped her to get on the rickshaw and began to start his plan. He could feel her uneasiness, and he really enjoyed it. He really is a devil.
They walked along in the small corridor in the restaurant and somehow, he could feel his anticipation growing. He didn't understand why, but he decided to ignore it for a while.
They sat, and he ordered some food. He noticed a small roll of her eyes when he ordered some sushi. Why is that so? But he could care less about it. And while waiting for the food to arrive, he asked her to dance. Still beautiful, and still amazing in his eyes, and she moved gracefully, showing all her skill, and Itachi found himself quickly captivated.
The food arrived and they eat in relative peace. He asked few questions and she answered it a little nervously. It's really fun.
Really.
He ordered her to come closer, closer, closer, and closer, until he could moving his face to hers and slowly licked the edge of her lips.
Tastes wonderful.
She backed with flaming red face, but Itachi decided that he wants to fell the taste of her lips again.
He wants to drink the sake now, and decided to have a little fun with it.
He drank, and she drank. Until he saw that her face is red with the heat of the drink.
He ordered her to bring the cup to his lips. She slipped the edge of the cup to his lips, and titled it so he could drink. He didn't swallow it, but he held it in his mouth, and before he could think about something, his hand moving forward and grabbing her head and without any preamble, he kissed her.
He poured the sake from his mouth into her opened one. He slipped his tongue inside it, exploring and kept exploring.
He deepened his kiss and slowly he felt his hand moving along her body. Feeling the curves of her slender body, tightening his grip, and with one hand, he titled her head to grant more access.
She's moaning lightly, and he could feel his lips now exploring her neck now. Biting softly and smoothly kissed the red marks on the tanned skin. He felt the shudders and a small whimper slipped past her lips.
He knows that she's lightly sedated, but he didn't care, not while her grip was on his shoulder and her back is tightening, and obviously not when she kissed him back with a small unconscious smile on her lips.
He let his tongue slip again into her mouth, and felt her tongue, this time, she didn't hesitate to tangle hers with his, and the only thing he knew now was deepening the kiss.
He closed his eyes slowly, and breathed in her scent deeply.
The taste is never enough.
He felt something like fresh water bathing his dirty mud covered heart and soul when the first time he saw the bright smile. It's something's new and he didn't know how to react.
One thing he knew for sure, he's addicted.
And he didn't want to let 'her' go.
It's something he never felt before. It's definitely ruining everything he's been building until now. The perfect wall, the perfect mask, everything.
It makes no sense at all, since he's always had what he wanted, but this time, this person could destroy everything he owns. And he don't care at all.
--
He sent her back untouched. Too bad... At the noon, he sat near the window, breathing cool air, and he really needs to clear his mind for now. Too much thinking is never good. He learned that when he was just a mere child in his big family. Well, that's why he's a little late to book her. Some landlord have heard about her beauty and decided to book her for this night. But he's sure enough that the landlord saw her yesterday on the rickshaw.
Maybe he could just kill the landlord so she wouldn't have to serve those lechers...?
He saw she walked out the Okiya, dressed so beautifully, and that thing about killing the landlord is still heavy in his mind. Unconsciously, his hand walked to a kunai he's hiding at his feet. He really doesn't like the idea about other man touching her. He watched as she walked elegantly and disappeared in a corner. He heaved a sigh when his partner came in and saying something about pretty girls here.
Well, right now, he felt something's different. He almost didn't care about Kisame's ramblings and other things happened.
His mind is starting to auto-ignoring his noisy ramblings. Because his mind is full of her. And he decided to take some rest for now. There's nothing he could do for now.
--
He's late again to book her today. The damned landlord's already booked her yesterday night when he slept. That's what the girl named Isane says to him. He's going to spend this night alone again, watching her going to serve the landlord. Or maybe he'll go for a walk to the restaurant and coincidentally stab the landlord when he met him??
Try to calming his growing irritation, he took few deep breaths.
He saw her walked out to a ramen stall with her little servant and ordering ramen for her and the little girl. Now, a time to make himself happy for a while. He walked soundlessly, bowing right to her ear, and making her blushed with just a few simple words.
It's really fun to torment her like this. She kept stuttering and blushing when Itachi asking her a little about her small village.
Really nervous is she that she didn't realise that Itachi's only making fun of her. And of course, taking a liiiiiiiiittle advantage is fine, right?
At least, she'll remember him when she's serving the landlord tonight.
Night's coming, and the temptation to kill the landlord is growing now, bigger and bigger.
It's nagging him endlessly from the back of his mind, and his fingers really close to strike him with his shuriken when the landlord walks away late this night, back to his own inn after few hours with Yuri, accidentally passing through Itachi's current inn.
The only reason why he restrained is because this is a vacation, and he didn't want to spend more energy when he's supposed to relax.
And of course it would spare him the waste of a good shuriken also.
--
To his amazement, he saw a red-head pop in front of the Okiya this morning. He knows him quite well. They just met few weeks ago, inside a massive cave with huge stone-statue, with all his other organization members, extracting the jinchuuriki inside him. Well, it seems now he's healthy enough to go, without any companion at all... Surprise surprise...
It amaze him that he didn't die when they all done extracting the Ichibi.
But that's not his concern ever. The Ichibi is out of his body, saved well in that big stone statue, and he couldn't care less about Kazekage Gaara's life.
He saw him walked in and after few moments, Gaara walked out along with Yuri and her small servant to the biggest hot-spot for tourists in the village. He saw them walk together closely, and he really wants to burn the redhead for being too close with her.
--
And for the sake of all the things damned, he's late again. He saw her walked again out from the Okiya. But today is quite different. Usually, she'll wear something that will make her looked elegant or regal, but today, she's wearing bright colours for her furisode and her obi. Seems so childish, but somehow matched her perfectly. Her hair is tied in a funny way. But she still managed to attract all attention on the street. He could see her smile when she walked, and it almost makes him want to throw something hard and harsh. He couldn't stand it any longer.
Why does he feel this way?
He doesn't care.
He just doesn't want anybody to touch her.
He won't let that happened. Again.
--
He walked out of his inn, and staying in a shadowed place, waiting for her arrival.
He's going to explain something to her, and to make sure she understands enough about her place.
Here she's coming, walked a little sleepy, and her servant is really sleepy, but he doesn't care.
He waited until she saw him perfectly, and saw him she did.
She slowed, and almost stopped when he started to walk slowly, making his way to her. No one on the street at this time. Perfect timing isn't it?
Her eyes widened, and he kept advancing through.

A/N: okay, this is a very long chapter isn't it? The longest chapter I've ever type. Pheeew...
I hope you're all satisfied... It's a combination of all the 5 chapters. And I added few things here and there that I've forgot to type before it's beta-ed... sorry if it's kinda confusing.
I promised you that the next chapter will be fuelled up. The tension will begin from the next chapter.
Or I hope so. Hehehehehe...
If anyone is confused, ask directly to me kay? And I'll explain it on the next chapter...
THANKS FOR THE REVIEWERS (HMMYAOI, Catzi, TaiNteDxWiNgs, imnofangirl, Lunarkitty15, escape5, Uzumaki-Hikari, kutoki, Kichou, moonstar the dragonwolf, ASOTA, Rara white wolf ). Many hugs for you guys...
PS: some asking me (in PM and review) why they only saw the first layer (the outer layer) of the furisode in pictures, so I'll explain something to you here. (IN MY SEARCH)
I'm using Edo-era Geisha's definitions.
At that era, Geishas showing their second layer without shame or doubts. It's kinda like... the inside layer is almost un-noticeable, and the second layer covering it, and they let approximately 7 CM or more of their second layer bluntly visible before the outer layer is used.
They even use one more layer like an overcoat. It's the most expensive, with many patterns along over it, and a big bow of the Obi tied in front of their outfit.
Basically, the outfit of Geishas didn't changed much from time to time. The changes that happened mostly are their layers, or pattern mode, or hairstyles.
They always pull their collar (behind their neck) lower than 'respectable' women should do, but that's only to make them sexier for the customers.
So... that's all for now guys... hope it's clear enough, and hope it's not wrong.
Feel free to correct me...
PPS: Ummmh… if you don't mind, I want to ask some help from someone, Japanese, OR know Kanji very well,and already know Naruto's father's name… PM me if you don't mind to help me… fidget-nervous-fidget
Thankzzzz….
SEE YA!!
