Kunoichi Syndrome: Origins
Chapter 11 after math
February 2nd: Nihongo (Japanese language) class. I am extremely paranoid; thank Kunoichi Syndrome on that one. Kassie a.k.a. Sasuke-chan, stare at me in disbelief after I tell her what went wrong yesterday during 1st period. Kitty a.k.a. Kisame-chan over hears this.
"Nani (what)? Itachi-chan, what happened? Kudekaishite kudasai (Please repeat)." Kisame-chan flips.
"You heard everything correctly. Kakashi-koohai ran off with Sasuke-san and Team Taka (Hawk) in 1st period yesterday. Kakashi-koohai ended up as bait and a tool." I say reluctantly.
"Wasn't there a few things Kakashi-chan said yesterday?" Kisame-chan asks.
"Hai (yes). I am not repeating those things Kakashi-koohai said yesterday. Repeating them to Sasuke-chan already kills me enough." I answer.
I feel everything just coming undone. Kunoichi Syndrome is choking my sanity out of me. All of the attacks on me and my comrades have already left their mark on me. Sensei's (teacher's) voice calls back my sanity. She is telling a story about anime voice actors, the English-speaking ones. Sensei is talking about Bleach voice actors. Another day of blur turns into a nervous breakdown at Itachi's house after school. I feel myself becoming weak, both physically and mentally. My nervous breakdown orders a night at Itachi's house on the condition that implies that I must be respected in every form possible. My dear Okaasan (Mother) is reluctant to let this happen. Itachi instinctively monitors my condition while ensuring that my Mother's wishes are fulfilled.
Kunoichi Syndrome. So, it's true what Tsunade-sama (Lady Tsunade) said about Ashuri-san (Ashley). Itachi thinks. Something's up, it is not setting well with me.
Thinking to yourself again, Itachi-san? I chime in.
Hai (yes). For your information, you are at my house again. Itachi responds. You had a nervous breakdown after finishing your English homework.
Aa (oh). I sigh mentally. Can you answer one question for me, why were you assigned to protect me?
Kunoichi Syndrome. 'Obasan's Blessing' is also a contributing factor. My will plays a major part as well. Itachi answers. Get some rest. Oyasuminasai Ashuri-san (Good night/sleep well Ashley).
Hai (yes, I will). I answer back, placing my complete trust in Itachi and letting my body rest. Knowing that is the only thing, I can do.
Why does little brother have to be involved in this? It does not help that he is an actual enemy right now. Ashuri-san is vulnerable. Her koohai is a bit too naïve. Madara is waiting for his chance to strike again for her 'Sharingan'. Ashuri-san has been using her 'cat transformation' too much lately. She has been fighting a losing battle. Why did Ashuri-san gain the Sharingan (let alone the Mangekyo Sharingan) through 'Obasan's Blessing'? How was it even possible? That damn scroll is not yielding much information or help. Shit, I need some rest. Itachi yawns as he watches me sleep peacefully. No, I must fulfill my duties. Even if it means pulling an all-nighter.
