Chapter Fifteen: Different paths
"There is something haunting in the light of the moon; it has all the dispassionateness of a disembodied soul, and something of its inconceivable mystery." ~ Joseph Conrad

Itachi rolled over on his side pressing his finger against her cheek. She patted his hand away like it was a fly.
"I don't want to work I just want to sleep...sleep all day." She meowed as she pulled the blankets up. Again Itachi traced a pattern on her cheek. She smiled.
"Misuki...Stop it." Then he flicked her nose. She said the most delightful and peaceful 'ow' he has ever heard and sighed as he scrambled for a pen and paper.
'Meet me at the bridge tonight,
9:00 p.m.
Sharp!
Sorry for leaving you,
You didn't want to wake up,
~Onda'
He grabbed his mesh shirt off the floor and left her to sleep in. He threw on his jacket and shoes and picked up the dangos and greedily eat each one and then threw the package in the garbage and left.

Mariko was once again bothered in her sleep. Misuki, her cat came over and began to lick her cheek and pat her tail in her owners face. With a loud sneeze Mariko woke up and stretched noticing the bare spot next to her.
"Onda?" She called out and then looked to find a small note written in handwriting beside her nightstand. She read it and smiled. She stood up and threw off her clothes and hopped in the shower for an hour. Now that she had money she didn't have to worry about saving her it as much as she use to.
When she came out she dressed in her most comfortable clothes, a pair of denim jeans and a cotton tank top along with a white wool sweater. She tied her hair in a pony tail and dressed her lips with a small layer of lip gloss and her eyelashes with black mascara. She went down stairs to her kitchen and fixed herself a bowl of cereal, and went to basement.
The walls were concrete grey and the floor also wooden. She had a lot of laundry to do. After finishing all of her chores she painted her nails and read a few magazines and gave Misuki a bath. She was really due for one. By the time she knew it, it was 5:00 p.m.

7:56 p.m.
Itachi leaned over the bridge, staring at the water below. He had to do it tonight; he couldn't risk being with her any longer. Not only was he endangering himself by visiting her all the time also her by being near her. If any other member found out about this then...
He heard a few footsteps from behind him and sighed. He allowed the figure to wrap it's arms around his neck. A small bit of red began to form at the tips of his ears.
"Hello." He said calmly. The figure reached to pull
down Itachi's hood, and leaned in closer.
There was something different about her chakra.
Stronger then before maybe,
"Hey Itachi no Danna." The blonde released his co-worker. Itachi's heart skipped a beat. He pivoted on his heel and found himself face to face with the blonde teenager.
"What are you doing here Deidara?" Itachi said on a monotone.
"Let's just say Kisame couldn't keep your secret anymore. Un."
Itachi paled,' Kisame I trusted you to do this one thing for me.'
The blonde chuckled, "Relax 'Tachi. I'm just kidding."
"Then how did you know I was in Iwa. Wait…why are you even here?"
"Good question. You see, I am a very curious person. The other day when you defended Kisame from Hidan. You whispered something in his ear and looked straight at me. Yes you probably still think that I'm a stupid kid who doesn't know better, but actually I'm quit the opposite. Kisame is very loyal to you, you know. He wouldn't spill a word. I decided to get another source. After I over heard you speaking with Pein about 'A cafe'. I fallowed you. You actually have been acting quite different. So who is it? Un."
Deidara smiled wide, "Who's the girl...unless it's not a girl and you just swing in that direc-."
"You've come all this way to ask that?" Itachi cut him off.
"Yeah, I told you I'm curious. I have no black mail against you at all don't worry. I swear I won't tell anyone. Just…Hey, can I meet her un?"
"No!" Itachi gave him a death glare.
"C'mon Itachi I want to meet her. See if you have a good type? Un."
"Type?"
"Yes un."
"Deidara."
"Un." The blonde locked his blue eyes with the uchiha's scarlet ones.
"Go back to the base now." Deidara rose and eyebrow and crossed his arms.
"Can't. Make. Me. Un." Itachi huffed and then turned around to go lean back against the bridge.

Mariko walked down the stairs with a wide smile on her face.
"Deidara, do you even have permission to be here?"
Mariko froze.
From a distance she found the two figures chatting away. She hide herself behind an Oak while occasional trying to make out what the two figures looked like. There she saw Onda and another person. The second one wore a black cloak and held a cocky expression on his face.
"What will Leader sama say when he finds out you sneaked out of the base?"
"I don't care un."
Maybe it was a different Deidara. It's a common name right?
"Plus, what do you think Leader sama would say when he finds out that the infamous Itachi Uchiha, the one who wiped out hid whole clan. Tsk Tsk Tsk. Has a girlfriend."
His family…
It's not true is it?
But he told me…
"She's not my girlfriend, and she's going to be here any minute so please, can you go disappear."
The blonde stuck up his nose, "What's that suppose to mean un!"
"Leave. Now. Deidara."
"Too late she's already seen me un. There's no point." Itachi flicked his eyes over to the bush where the reddish brown haired girl concealed herself. She looked around and noticed the blonde was no longer in sight. There was a tap on her shoulder. She was too afraid to look behind her.
"Hi un." A voice sang in her ear.

Heart pounding,
words screaming,
Blood rushing
The only thing I could think of was to run,
But I never did,
I Mariko Kain, was to
Afraid
For what laid
Ahead

I slightly feel bad for Itachi,
And it was all going so well…
