I don't own Naruto and characters etc.
I do own this story so please don't copy it exactly, but you're welcome to as many of my ideas as you like.
With the greatly apreciated permission of BlackElement7, CrimsonSakuratree I begin writing what I hope will be an amazing Story! (Check out their stories (my inspiration): Not Weak!, Untold Secrets).
Chapter 60
Deidara reclined against a tree, blatantly astonished at the abrupt vanishing of his audience.
Maaya had just blown away in sakura petals, no doubt the clone have been disarmed.
He chuckled. 'What a strange girl.'
--
'Oh that's rich.' Inner scoffed.
"Too young!?" Sakura stood on the bed, menacingly over Itachi, who simply gazed up at her.
He said nothing.
"You don't think it's too late for that!? We've already kissed anyway, and I...then and I thought.." Sakura drifted off, playing with her wrist.
There was a brief surge of light that left Maaya standing on the bed, a mixture of stoic and sinister.
"You don't really believe that do you?" She said dropping from the structure, to just beneath Itachi, looking up.
"What is she... 14?" He murmered.
"And a half. She'll be 15 in a month." Maaya said, poking Itachi, quite firmly in the sholder.
"It's really been 2 years? I can't believe it." Itachi's head sunk to his chest.
"Not quite."
"Hn."
"Stop acting like a poutty child and do something. Sakura loves you and you're just teasing her. It's almost cruel."
"It's not like I mean to hurt her Inner..."
"My name isn't Inner anymore. I wanted my own identity and so you may call me Maaya."
"Maaya-chan?"
"Hn. Whatever."
He smirked..."I love her too."
"I know. So quit shrugging her off."
"I'm only ever nice to Sakura." He argued.
"I'll assume you're ommitting the kunai-wake-up call incidents?"
"That was training."
"Yeah, yeah."
"I'm teaching her... And I'd protect her with my life."
"Would you? Who's going to protect her from you though Mr. Prodigy?"
"Inne... Maaya-chan... I never touched Sakura, you know I didn't. And I would never."
"That's not what I mean. You're always thinking about the physical, you and your brother have that in common."
"Then what do you mean, oh one of 'true design'.
"You mightn't have ever heard this saying so why I'm wasting it on you is beyond me, but it has been said that 'Known is not pain by one unheartbroken."
"You're right, that means nothing to me."
"Then let me explain in the utmost simplicty."
"True pain, Itachi-kun, like that which Sasuke fought when you killed his parents, of like Sakura suffers when you distance yourself from her... It's called heartbreak. You havn't broken her heart yet but you are hurting her."
Itachi, out of brash confusion and anger, pushed Maaya down, pinning her to the bed.
"How would you know." He growled.
Maaya didn't bother freeing herself and lay meekly beneath him. "You're hurting me too..."
