Reincarnated as Izumi Uchiha

34: We meet after a year - Part 2

Itachi's POV:

It was getting really suffocating in the ballroom, being surrounded by fangirls. I managed to escape and went down a random hallway and out to the balcony but I didn't expect to see the prince trapping the white haired girl from earlier against the wall. "Then why don't you become my queen? I'm sure your brother won't mind if you're spending time with me." The girl crossed her arms, "Ara, ara, I already have a fiancé. I'm afraid that's impossible, your majesty." My eyes widened, why? The prince frowned, "Then why don't you break your engagement with him?" For some reason, my heart clenched in anger and my fist curled up tightly. She frowned and cupped her hands together while placing them on her chest, "We both love each other very much. I wouldn't break my engagement with for any other man and more importantly, it seems we have an audience." I grit my teeth at the first part and glared at the prince while realizing something.

She sensed my presence? She's not a civilian, she's a ninja. The prince's eyes widened and turned to the door, seeing me there, glaring at him. The girl's smile became wider, "Now would you mind getting off of me? I'm sure my brother is about to start looking for me." The prince got off of her immediately while she brushed her dress off a bit and the prince stormed back inside. She curtsied and said, "Thank you, if it weren't for your presence, I'm afraid I might have been stuck here a bit longer. Now please excuse me." She walked back inside. As she walked back inside and down the hallway back to the ballroom, I wanted to reach out to her and pull her back and never let her go.

However I held in the urge. What is wrong with me? I don't even know her let alone her name. But the urge to follow her overpowered my desire to take a breather on the balcony so that's what I did. I followed her back to the ballroom. Something about her pulled me to her, I just couldn't put my finger on it. The moment I went in the ballroom, the music started playing meaning I had to look for a partner to dance with. I shouldn't have went back in.... The girl also looked annoyed as well as she was starting to get swarmed by boys and unfortunately, I ended up suffering the same fate with girls. I quickly got to the girl, kneeled in front of her and held my hand out and asked, "May I have this dance with you?" I knew she wouldn't bother me and chat my ears off which is why I asked her.

Her eyes widened before going back into it's neutral form, "Of course." She took my hand which forced everyone else that was surrounding us to get out of the way, all of them staring at us with envy. I lead her to the dance floor and danced silently. I could tell everyone was watching us even mother, father and the others. At this moment, nothing existed but the 2 of us, dancing in the middle of the floor.

Third Person's POV:

Everyone's eyes never strayed from Itachi and Izumi. They were like a beacon of light, illuminating the night. Like a match made in heaven. Too bad it's only going to be like this for the night.

"I feel like I've known that girl for years and yet I don't." Shisui remarked, still watching Itachi and Izumi dance. Sasuke didn't say anything, he felt annoyed. It should be Izumi-nee-chan with Nii-san! Not that woman! But that is Izumi, Sasuke! Soon the dance ended, Izumi curtsied while Itachi bowed, "It was a pleasure to dance with you." Itachi said while Izumi responded kindly, "It was a pleasure for me as well." Although they didn't part, the Uchihas scurried to them immediately. Mikoto in particular liked the girl.

She thought that the whitette would be the perfect one for Itachi after seeing how Itachi approached her first and didn't swarm over him like Itachi's fangirls. Originally, she thought Izumi would be the perfect one for him but after seeing how badly Izumi damaged her family and broke her son's heart, she made it her top priority to help him through the mess and to get him to forget Izumi. Even though he refused to forget about Izumi, she decided to try to introduce him to new woman but all of them would end up being fangirls which made Mikoto give up on Itachi's love life.
