Kunoichi Syndrome: Origins
Chapter 12 The Soul Within
Itachi is quite restless. His body is demanding rest but his soul will not let that happen. Itachi dutifully watches over me. His thoughts stir as he tends to my every need.
Utsukushi tenshi, naze watashi wa anata no karada no yuuwaku ka? Sonogo, futatabi, itta watashi wa kangaete imasu? Anata wa watashi o kanzen na shinrai o oite iru. Watashi wa yuuwaku ni ochiira nai yoyuu ga nai koto ga deki masu. (Beautiful angel, why am I tempted by your body? Then again, what the hell am I thinking? You are placing your full trust in me. I cannot afford to fall into temptation.)
Mrs. Uchiha comes into check on me.
"Mother, where's Sasuke?" Itachi asks carefully.
"Your bother is at a sleepover with his friends." Mrs. Uchiha answers. "Please get some rest."
Mrs. Uchiha leaves and goes to bed. It is only 10:30 p.m. That is when I subconsciously start talking.
"Itachi-kun ni chiaki kite kudasai. (Itachi-kun please come closer.)"
Kanojo wa watashi ni chiaki kanojo ni kuru yo ni irai suru ka? Kanojo wa i-tsu ta matte, Ashuri wa kanzen ni ninshiki sa rete imasen. Kore wa jissai kaiteki Sasuke o shite iru ie no soto desu. Tabun Ashuri wa nani ka o nozonde iru. Subete watashi ga kakujitsu ni shite iru kanojo wa ima watashi ga hitsuyou da. (Did she just ask me to come closer to her? Wait, Ashley is not fully aware of what she just said. It is actually a comfort knowing Sasuke is out of the house. Maybe Ashley just wants something. All I know for sure is that she needs me right now.) Itachi hesitates.
"Itachi-kun wa, watashi wa anata ga ochitsuka nai desu, sore o suki de wa nai. Sore wa watashi o obie sasaru. Te kudasai. Chikai watashi ni kuru. (Itachi-kun, I do not like it when you are restless. It scares me. Please come closer to me.)" I cry softly.
Itachi puts his hand on my forehead. "Watashi wa koko ni iru hitsuyou wa nai no ga koto. Hasshu wa, subete ga daijoubu desu. Watashi wa ochitsuka anata no Okaasan wa youkyuu ni oujite watashi wa anata o mimamotte iru de wa nai hoka. (I am right here; there is no need to be scared. Hush now, everything is all right. Besides I'm not restless I'm watching over you as your mother requested.)"
Kami chikushō! Sore wa watashi ga ofu ni gādo kono yō ni nari tai de wa nai! Watashi wa anata ga don'na chikara no shurui toki ni wa, nemutte iru Ashuri-chan wa hoji o jitsugen wa nai to omou. Hon wa tsuneni ken yori mo tsuyoshi sa re masu. Chotto matte, shika shi, anata ga nemutte iru, migi desu ka? Nani ga anata wa watashi o motomete seikaku desu ka? (God damn it! It is not like me to be off guard like this! I do not think you realize what kind of power you hold when you are asleep Ashley chan. The book will always be mightier than the sword. Wait a minute, but you are asleep, right? What exactly are you asking me?) Itachi thinks as he looks at me.
"Itachi-kun watashi wa anata ga watashi ni use o shitte iru. (Itachi kun I know you are lying to me.)" I whisper. "Anata wa ochitsukinode, watashi ni anata no ude no naka de hoji shi, ikutsu ka no suimin o toru desu. Sore ga tame ni Itachi- taichou da. (You are restless, so hold me in your arms and get some sleep. That's an order Itachi taichou.)"
Itachi obeys even though I do not have any idea of what I am really saying. All I do know is that I am putting my complete trust in Itachi. The last thing I say is "Aishite aru Itachi-kun. (I love you Itachi-kun)." Itachi's soul is put at ease, his mind is still racing. He lies down beside me, holding me in his arms. Itachi looks at his clock; it is now 11:50 p.m.
"Aishite aru Ashuri-chan. (I love you Ashley-chan.)" Itachi whispers.
Kami chikushō! Watashi wa gozen-chū ni shin da n da yo! Kore wa tan'ni josei no yōkyū o watashi wa kanojo ga nemutte iru to shitte iru ni shitagau koto o watashi ga suki de wa nai. Ma~Tsute, watashi ga kanjite iru? Anata ga watashi no mawari ni ude o tsutsumu ka? Naze watashi wa anata ni wa, Ashuri-chan o yatte iru koto ni kizuite desu ka? Watashi wa anata no yawarakai hada o kanjite iru. Watashi mo anata no shatsu no shita ni aru hadaka no mune o kanjite iru. Kuso ｰ! Naze watashi ga korera no koto ni kizuite desu ka? Nan de son'nani Ashuri-chan sofuto desu ka? Sate, watashi wa sore o shutoku shi masu. Watashi wa ikutsu ka nokori no bubun o shutoku shi masu. Tada, jissai ni watashi ga shinde, ashita no asa ni naru tsumori desu henkō shimasen! (God damn it! I am dead in the morning! This is not like me to just simply obey a woman's request when I know she is asleep. Wait, what am I feeling? Is that you wrapping your arms around me? Why am I noticing the things you are doing, Ashley chan? I feel your soft skin. I even feel your bare breast underneath your shirt. Shit! Why am I noticing these things? Why are you so soft Ashley chan? You may not say anything but I still feel your every movement! All right, I get it. I will get some rest. It just does not change the fact that I am going to be a dead man tomorrow morning!)
