I packed my bag in the dead of night. I didn't have much of a window to leave. I needed to take full advantage of the time I had.

Most of the members were gone on over night stints. I only had a couple people to avoid while I made my escape.

Most importantly my boyfriend Itachi was gone. I could not face saying goodbye to him.

It was cowardly I knew. But that was who I had become. Hence the reason I felt the need to flee from an organization where I thought I would find myself in.

Growing up in Takigakure I never felt like I belonged. I had strong ties to my great uncle who eventually got me into his group. The Akatsuki had been my home for almost a decade. It was all I knew as I found myself but the second I felt like I had become too attached I knew I had to leave.

The reason for my attachment was my boyfriend Itachi. We were close in age and had been members of the group for nearly as long as the other. Naturally we grew close. As we grew up the closeness became more intimate as we explored our young bodies desires. I was madly in love with Itachi even when I knew I shouldn't be.

We were a weakness for each other and I could not risk that anymore than I already had.

Kakuzu warned me about becoming attached to Itachi and stupidly I ignored him. I was a young teen when I first started seeing my boyfriend. We let our hormones get the best of us. And that led us both to fall madly in love with the other.

I would have never thought to leave before. I thought this was my home. I was happy. But I was worried for Itachi. I was a serious risk to him. Not only could he be used against me but I could be used against him. And that held more weight now that I found out I was pregnant. That means two lives at risk. I could not do that to my unborn baby. The only way to protect the two people I loved most was to escape. To fall off the map and raise my baby without anyone knowing.

So that was my plan. Pack my bag and escape in the dead of night.

After finishing stuffing my bag with the bare essentials, I made my way out of the hideout. I didn't even have to be sneaky about it. No one was up. I did not hear a peep as I existed the life I once knew.

It had been four months since I left. I finally found myself a routine. I had escaped to a small fishing village in the land of fire. It gave me an easy escape by water if needed. But here there was no need for my ninja background. I became an average citizen that one did not look twice at. Luckily for me the growing babe inside my stomach had yet to make an appearance. From the outside one would not know I was pregnant. I was extremely fortunate about that when I caught a glimpse of red eyes on the other side of the market.

I tried to stay tucked behind the crowd but I knew the second he had me in his sights there was no escaping. I couldn't run. He already had me trapped.

I decided to go about with the rest of my day. Itachi would come to me when he was ready. I had no intention of making that time come faster.

~~~

After a full day of errands, I was finally forced to make my way home when the sun set and shops closed down.

I only caught glimpses of Itachi here and there but he remained in the shadows as he followed me. My stomach was in knots as I opened my door knowing the time had come. I was finally going to have to face Itachi after I left him.

~~~

"How did you find me?" I asked while I closed the fridge and turned to face him in the entrance of the kitchen.
