Kunoichi Syndrome: Origins

Chapter 15 The Explanation: An Incident with AXE

When I come to my senses, Kakashi-kouhai is already home. Itachi has already put his shirt back on. Thank goodness because I do not have much sanity left. Itachi and Sasuke are unusually quiet for a minute. Until I speak up to catch their attention.

"Itachi-kun, what's going on? Did I miss something?" I ask.

"Mother! …." Sasuke is cut off by Itachi's poke in the forehead.

"Sorry Sasuke, perhaps another time." Itachi says calmly.

I want to laugh my ass off but I giggle softly instead. Itachi sighs, bringing the focus back to my questions.

"Ashley, here's the situation. My little brother Sasuke wore AXE to school on Valentine's Day. The 'fan girl attack' happened at lunch while you were in the library catching up on your studies. Kakashi-chan happened to be nearby and snags Sasuke at the last second. It is a good thing that security came around and dealt with the 'fan girls'. After school, Sasuke made an offer to Kakashi-chan about being her guardian angel." Itachi states.

I look at Sasuke, wondering why.

"I know you're going to ask why I decided to become your kouhai's guardian angel. I will cut to the chase. I will admit I felt like a total dick after kidnapping your koohai. Angie-san made me realize who the hell I was working for, Madara. Team Taka and I quit after she told us she forgave us in person. Besides Angie is too naive sometimes." Sasuke explains coldly.

I nod my head quietly. I find myself content with the fact that my naive kouhai will not be in danger. My mind wonders back to the 'fan girl attack'. Itachi notices this.

"Ashurii-chan, what's on your mind?"

"The 'fan girl attack'. I know a similar story. That's all." I answer.

Thank goodness, it's Friday. Surprisingly, my mother is letting me stay at Itachi's house for the weekend. I swear I must be lucky. Who knows, but I know I see an unusual weekend ahead of me.
