Itachi x reader

10.

Hearing voices come from the distance we all get into position.
Much to our surprise those voices were Kakuzu and Hidan. Or rather Hidan babbling the other akatsuki member full.

Kakuzu:"Why can you not just shut up for a while? Oh right i will just rip off your tongue that should do the trick."

Hidan then looks away in disgust and fear. He can feel the pain after all.

Suddenly the rock we were just sitting on opens up and Pain walks out.

I cannot be surprised anymore by our rock hideouts.

Pain:"This might look the same but it is much bigger inside. We have been saving up to pay for the building costs."

Wow. Okay now I cannot be surprised by anything anymore.

We head inside and some of us have a tour of the "building". It really is much bigger than the other. This one also includes a training area with glass doors. As Tobi said.

So many dummies and weapons. Unused weapons are my favorite things. I could stare at the polished metal for ages. But right now I am exhausted and I need to unpack my things.

Heading to the rooms I see that this time everyone's rooms are in one hallway which makes everything much much easier.

Thank you anonymous cave builder.

We all get a plan about the things we have to do by the week like pain is somehow our mother. Well looks like I have a mission of elimination. I think one of Orochimarus underlings named Kabuto though I'd much rather deal a pact with them.

Maybe giving them information? Hm what could they do for me? I will just have to wait and see.
Thank goodness i am doing this with Itachi because I would not be able to do anything with another member.

I hang the weekly plan above my nightstand and untie my hair. While I take one Onigiri out of my lunchbox i also untie my shinobi headband which is totally fake.

It is so unfamiliar seeing the signature symbol of another village. Not like i have ever worn a Konoha headband before it is just that it does not feel real.

All of this.
Like I'm just dreaming or in a genjutsu and I'll wake up any moment now.

It is hard to admit but I am scared. Terrified even. What if they find out? I will get killed. But I am not ready to die yet. I was a kid just yesterday. What has changed?!

Tears flood down my cheeks and drop down to the floor on which I now am kneeling on.

I want to become someone successful or just lead a normal life. Kiss kiss fall in love something like that. Not spend my whole life waiting for the people around me to get captured or killed.

This is weak of me I know but I cannot help it. I feel so helpless. Why am I sad now? I was fine the last few weeks with these people. Why did I break now? It is okay I will just lay down and everything will be fine when I wake up...right?

Well that was what I said but now it is
3 am and I am still not asleep. Gosh I might as well get something to eat. I think the only thing I have had since this morning was that one Onigiri.

Yeah okay maybe I should have asked if sneaking a few snacks to my room was allowed. But it is normal right? They won't just kick me out because of food. Right?!

Gosh I am just overthinking. I am sure the others will not mind.

I was about to leave with one of my fists full of peanuts and the other holding a bottle of water when I saw an unfamiliar face. But the coat belonged to the akatsuki... Tobi?!

He quickly hid his face after meeting my eyes. I guess even he doesn't wear his mask 24/7. Surely some people from his past would have a shocked or surprised face but I do not even know him so it doesn't effect me. From the one small glimpse I caught his face was formed like the orange mask he always wears.

Deciding I should break the awkward silence I offer him some peanuts.

Y/N:"you want some?"

Tobi:"Eh..sure! Thanks Y/N. Please make sure to keep it a secret okay?"

He puts his finger on his lips signaling silence. I then wish him a good night and head to bed. The new fact made me forget my earlier thoughts even if it was for a moment I could sleep.

In the morning

Back to the routine I guess. Today me and the Uchiha will head to Orochimarus lair. Well kinda. It will take a while. Basically the whole week. Since he had to move so far away.

I put on a white shirt and black wide pants but they get covered by the coat. I just know I will sweat like a pig. Though thankfully we are not going to the mist and this certain boy will not sacrifice his health for me.

"Good morning. How did you sleep? I still heard noises from your room late at night."

"Morning. Oh I just got myself something to eat. Now the real question is what were you doing up at 3 am?"

Itachi:"Should you not know by now that I cannot sleep unless I am absolutely exhausted?"

Sigh. Of course I know. I was just hoping for another answer.

"Yeah yeah but you should not be so careless with your health."

Itachi:"Coming from you that is not convincing."

"Since when have you grown to tease me?"

I grab his arm and pull him after me. He is visibly surprised and startled as he did not expect me to do this. Well I could not resist after seeing him act so different. So..cute.

I might have a slight crush on him but that is just because we are supposed lovers. Oh right is it not a good idea to tell the akatsuki members that? They might leave us more privacy and we will be able to talk more freely about the situation.

The real reason yn is here is because danzo ended up not trusting Itachi enough. Even though he swore and left his brother back in the village he did meet someone suspicious to gain access to the Akatsuki. I do not believe Obito meeting itachi was known by danzo but maybe I am just dumb lmao.
