WMBD Thank you. ch7
'I feel pretty.' I smiled as I walked down the market area. My long wavy hair was held up in a bun, I had a cute yellow sundress on and I had decided to do my make up.
I knew I looked cute, and it made me smile.
I shopped around for the perfect bento box. I just wanted to have a small picnic by my little hiding spot.
'I found it!' It had sushi, rice and a sweet mochi ball. 'Delicious!' I paid and walked away with my prize.
"What are you doing here?" I stared at Itachi.
"I showed you this spot, remember." He frowned at me.
I sighed. There was no way in hell he was going to make me give up 'my' spot. So I sat down with a huff.
He was eating his own bento box. It looked like rice balls with pickled fruit.
I ate in silence until he spoke. "How are you?"
"Fine" I stuffed sushi in my mouth. I looked over for a second to see a bruise or hickey on his neck. "did you get a girlfriend?" I felt a small pang of jealously.
"No." He shook his head. "I just got back from a mission."
"ANBU?"
He nodded.
My anger rose. why was he still with them? It was clear he had gone through so much more than anyone else in ANBU. I mean they forced him to kill everyone. His Clan. His parents. Me... How had ANBU not forced someone else to come after me? A chill ran up my spine. The bigger question was... why had ANBU not had someone else come after me... I wasn't the strongest they had had at the time. So the execution would have been quick and nobody but Momaru would have missed me...
"Why are you still with them?" I had to choke back my anger as I looked at the ground.
"I like being where I am needed." He sighed. "No one else really needs me."
"Don't you lie to me." I glared at him. "You can lie to anyone else and they wouldn't know the difference. But I know you."
He looked at me, and nodded.
He was done talking about it.
Well I'm not. I poked him hard in the ribs.
He stiffened his body.
I poked him again.
He twitched.
Again!
Twitch.
Again!
Twitch.
Again!
Twitch.
He grabbed my wrist. Looked me in the eye and sighed. "I don't know."
We sat in silence.
"You look nice." He took another bite of his rice balls.
I blushed. "Thank you..."
