Beneath the Surface [Yandere!Itachi x Reader]

Chapter 14

"Did you hear? Did you, Itachi?!" Shisui asked in haste, his words becoming incomprehensible.  

Itachi raised an eyebrow from interest and returned a calm reply, "I suppose not." 

Shisui's eyes were larger than normal as they expressed frenzy. This disturbed Itachi as his cousin rarely seemed to acquire such a panicked expression. "They're getting married!" 

An uncomfortable pang settled in Itachi's stomach. This did not seem to bode well for him, as his brain quickly made the assumption that- 

"[Name] and Danzo are getting married! Can you believe it? Oh man!"  

Shisui's remarks fell on deaf ears. The uncomfortable pang had grown larger and to something more darker. Nefarious rage crept on him as he contemplated the various ways of murdering Danzo in cold blood. 

It was utter bullshit. 

"How can they possibly become united in such a short time?" Itachi asked coldly. His nails painfully dug into the palm of his hands as he attempted to keep under a calm demeanor. 

Shisui scratched his head, deep in thought. He snapped his fingers and said excitedly, "Aha! She's probably after his money! He's so old and she's too young and hot for him." He shuddered from revulsion and shook his head. "I really don't even know what she sees in him." 

Itachi's mouth tightened at the response he received. His ego whispered, So that's why she's with him! Perhaps she found out she was pregnant and needed money for an abortion! 

He growled silently for his conscience to become quiet as his patience grew thinner and thinner. An abortion for our child? It was highly possible that she sought help from another source rather than from him. Perhaps she knew he would refuse for her to abort the child... 

"Oh yeah! The party hosted by your parents is tonight! Do you have a date? It's too bad [Name] was snatched away from you," Shisui said sadly. "I would have liked her in the family." 

Snatched, Itachi inwardly sneered. What I claim as mine shall stay as mine. She will become married to me as mine and not Danzo, that disgusting fool... 

"I have things to prepare," Itachi responded, evading the question. "You will be in charge of the spa for the next couple of hours before we close for tonight." 

Shisui mocksaluted and grinned, waggling his eyebrows. "If you need a hot date, I can easily get you one!" 

"Goodbye Shisui," Itachi said in a flat tone. He promptly left the spa, neglecting his cousin's jeering and taunting remarks. 

Danzo's presence should be at the celebration tonight, along with [Name]. I must speak with her privately about this serious matter, he thought grimly. 

As he walked down the street to ponder, he heard the faint call of his name. 

"Itachi!" 

He would know that voice anywhere. 

He angled his body slightly so that he looked backwards and saw his beloved angel, [Name], walking towards him. He quirked his lip and said, "Hello, [Name]." 

Perfect timing, his conscience remarked. 

Perfect timing indeed. 

The woman smiled gloriously at him, his breath catching in his throat. "I had an appointment settled for today. I suppose you are on break?" 

He cleared his throat. "Yes. I will return shortly." He glanced at her attire, a simple, baby blue strapless dress that went down to her knees. "You look enchanting as always," he complimented. 

"Thank you," she gracefully accepted. She seemed hesitant for a short moment before beginning to say, "I will make my way to the-" 

Itachi cut her off kindly -or which he hoped was polite- with a, "Is it possible if you could spare a few minutes to speak with me in private?" 

She was silent for a few seconds before nodding. "Of course. Shall we make our way to the spa then?" 

He gave his arm for her to take and they walked in silence. He was deep in thought, unaware of [Name]'s fidgetiness. It was unlike him to be so hushed as he was always prepared with questions and conversation. It seemed utterly odd. 

Shisui spotted the two as they walked in, his face contorting into confusion. "Itachi, I thought you-" 

"[Name] is present for her appointment," Itachi abruptly said. 

Shisui's expression turned to one of understanding. "Ahh! In you go, young folks! Take your time!" He winked at them before resuming to his receptionist duties. 

"Hello to you too, Shisui," [Name] sassed in return. Itachi noted she lead the way once again with all her beautiful confidence. He briskly glanced at her curvy derriere. The delicious way her hips moved and the subtle bouncing was enough to awaken what lay in his pants. 

Once she stepped into the private room, she asked, "So? What did you wish to speak to me about?" 

"Your pregnancy," he bluntly replied. He winced from the harshness of his tone as that was not how he intended to sound like. 

"I'm not following. My pregnancy?" she queried. A look of puzzlement was spread across her features. He wanted to kiss the furrow between her eyebrows and bury himself deep inside of her... 

Itachi shook his head. Unfortunately, it was his turn of befuddlement. "Are you not pregnant from our one night?" 

"Just what absurdity are you on about? Itachi, I'm not pregnant." 

You must be either: A) happy or B) sad that you're not pregnant ;D - Sorry for the lack of updates, been having much of writer's block.
