So Close, Yet So Far (Book 1) ✔

Chapter 7

Misaki's P.O.V

"I know I've called this meeting very early in the morning, but we are moving to another hideout... Today." Pein said.

"Why the hell would we do that?!" Hidan said.

"The cloud ninja might have followed us back here, or can easily track us."

"I can just sacrifice them all to Jashin." Hidan said with an evil smile on his face.

"We need to leave, today." Pein said.

"Gather all your things.  We leave in 3 hours.  Dismissed." Pein said.

"I need to pee..." I mumbled yawning.

I was about to go to the washroom and met Itachi there who was gonna go in as well.

I glared at him.

After what happened last night..  I couldn't sleep, I can't eat, I've bathed myself how many times during the night.  I still feel like he's hugging me, whispering in my ear, shirtless.

Gosh.

"Itachi I was here first!" I said.

"I'm sorry Misaki, but I was here first." He said.

"You are really gonna fight me right now?!" I said.

"You are really annoying." 

We both stared at the bathroom door and tried to push our way into it...

"You idiot!  Let me go in!" I said angrily.

Just then Pein came by.

"Universal Pull!" I was pulled back and so was Itachi.

Pein walked into the washroom casually.

"Ugh!!!"

***

I eventually got the washroom and I'm now in my room with Konan.

"Konan, he's so annoying!  I don't know what's wrong with him!" I said.

"Yet you allowed him to hug you, whisper in your ear..." Konan said chuckling while she sat on my bed.

"I don't what was wrong with me...  Or what was wrong with him!  He must have been seriously drugged.

"Maybe this wouldn't even happen if you didn't decide that you'd go into his room and speak with him." Konan said.

"Yeah... You are probably right.  Why did I even think about that!  Ugh!  I'm so stupid!!!" I said walking around my room.

"Maybe you like him?" Konan said and tripped and face planted.

"Are you serious?" I asked and she nodded.

"Look at you!  You just had a face plant when I said maybe you like him.  Even when we were returning from the mission, you made an effort to be nice to him!  You went to his room and hugged him!  You like him Misaki!" Konan said.

*FLASHBACK*

Today I became a Genin.  I was on my way home knowing my mother and father told me they had a surprise for me.

I smelt smoke in the area of my house.

"No..."

I ran and ran...

To see my house in flames...

"No!  No!  Mother and Father!!!" I said screaming and crying as tears fell madly.

'Misaki!  Get out of here!'

"Mother..." I heard her voice in my head.

'This whole area will burst in flames!  I can't allow you to die!'
