So why was I acting this way? Why was I worked up over two tickets to Miami? Because plane tickets cost a lot of money. Was it all worth it? Did I mean that much to Kakashi sensei?
"You two should go out and have some fun. It's been a while since you two have seen each other, right?" Kakashi Hatake continued on as I soon felt him mess up my hair a little. His playful side..
I wanted to talk to him a while longer. But I knew that he had things to do. Better things to do than just stay here speaking with me. I knew that I should let him go. It was for the best. The Hidden Leaf Village had taken something from me, again. And before I knew it, he disappeared beyond the gate. I was left alone standing there as the rain began to fall from the sky.
"Kakashi..." I whispered as my head lowered. All hopes gone.
I still had strong feelings for Itachi. And I knew that I wasn't alone. But something inside of me just kept hurting. And it wouldn't stop. It's like everything I ever care about, it just ends up disappearing. And I'm left with nothing but the darkness.
Moments had passed. A few hours.. A few minutes... By the time I realized it, it was night time.
Thoughts kept playing over and over in my head. Maybe I shouldn't have came back to the village. I know they had accepted me. But things aren't quite the same anymore. Maybe they would be better off without me.
"Sasuke, is that you?" A female voice was heard as a Kunoichi headed towards my direction.
I could tell just by the sound that it was Ino Yamanaka. That's when I started to walk away, ignoring her like usual. Just hoping that she will leave me alone. But we all know that wasn't going to happen. She wasn't like that.
"It is!" She gasped in shock. "Where have you been?! I've been looking for you!" I soon began to feel a heavy weight on my shoulders as she jumps onto my back.
"Get off of me." I mumble in an irritated tone as I tried to push her off of me from behind.
"You know Sasuke... I heard about Itachi and you going to Miami." Ino was not finished. But I had a feeling what she was going to say next, so I cut in.
"I'm not bringing you."
"That's not what I meant!" What a surprise. "It's almost time to meet your brother at the park! You should go ahead and pack your stuff. You know... Things to bring with you? I'm just giving you a heads up!"
I didn't quite understand why she would care, or what her point was. But she was right. Time flew by pretty past. I didn't bother asking her what time it was. Instead, I went back home and started to pack my things. The things that I would need for the flight. And then I was out of there.
I met up with Itachi at the bench within the park beneath the moonlight and the stars. He didn't have much stuff with him at all. Most of the stuff was pretty much empty.
When I was with him, I didn't feel so alone anymore. I began to cheer up as the night got darker. He was always there for me when I really needed it. He always knew the way to make me feel better.
When we got to the Plane Station, we had to wait quite a while before boarding the plane. But when we finally got to Miami, it was like entering a whole 'nother world. Everything was different.
Itachi Uchiha had to get permission from the Hokage before the two of us came here. She was actually allowing us to get a few days off. Although she was going to get Itachi to make up for it.
I knew that Itachi was probably happy about not having to deal with Sai. It was also a great way for us to be with each other without any interrupting. The things that Kiba did..
I'm sure my brother could tell that I wasn't very excited. It was almost like moving away somewhere to a place you never been to. Uneasy and unsure. But Itachi most likely had a bunch of things planned. And I decided to just go along with it.
"Achoo!" I sneezed as I bent over a little in shock.
"Sasuke... Are you catching a cold..?" Itachi said with a concerned look on his face.
Me and Itachi had to wait at least ten minutes for the Limo to arrive. It was almost here. Maybe a few more minutes left. I could endure it. But I had to admit.. It was rather cold outside.
"N-No.. I'm fine." I replied as I continued to breathe warm air at my cold hands.
Itachi could tell that I wasn't. I was cold, and he could just feel it as he wrapped his arms around me to pull me into a warm embrace again. Just hoping that I wouldn't get a cold while we were finally alone together.
My face flushed faintly as I allowed him to hold me. Though I would not allow him to see me like this either. I kept my head down as we were waiting for the Limo to arrive. The Limo was to the Hotel that we were headed to. A great transportation. We could have gone on one from the air port, but we decided to check out a few things first.
The Hotel was called 'Loews Miami Beach Hotel'. They had all kinds of things.A Bar and Lounge area. Fitness Center. Cafe. A Ballroom. Jacuzzi. And so much more. The bad thing was that they were going to be staying for a few nights. Maybe five to ten. That would be five times over two hundred and ninety-nine dollars, for five nights. Did Itachi have enough money for that? I knew there had to be other things planned as well. How were we supposed to get back? Did he have plane tickets for the next flight?
The thought just caught my attention as I immediately sat up in my seat. Tickets for the way back... We had to get back! We couldn't just stay here, stranded all the time!
"A-Aniki... You... do have enough money... Right?"
All Itachi gave me was this blank look. And I knew right from the start that something went wrong.
