So Close, Yet So Far (Book 1) ✔

Chapter 14

Akira's P.O.V

Misaki was fast asleep on her bed.

My bed was near the window as hers was near the door.

She acted really strange... Maybe she was sick or something?

No... Probably she's love sick for Itachi.

I chuckled covering my face with my hand, "It upsets me..."

*KNOCK, KNOCK*

I got up and walked to Misaki's bed.

"I find you so cute, yet you don't show no affection for me..." I sat on the edge of her bed.

*KNOCK, KNOCK*

"Even though we just met..."

I touched her face... She winced a bit.

*KNOCK, KNOCK*

"I think I'm in love..." I said leaned in.

The door swung wide open.. My face froze in the position I was in.

"What are you doing to her?" I heard the voice of Itachi..

He came up to me and grabbed my hand.

"I didn't know you cared." I said.

"You guys are up to something..." Itachi said staring into my eyes.

His eyes slowly turned into the Sharingan.

I yanked my hand from his grip.

"I just wanted to give her, her first kiss..." I said smirking at him.

"How do you know she hasn't had her first kiss?"

"I know a lot of things that you don't."

"Leave Misaki alone.. If you don't, you'll regret it." He said as I chuckled.

"I'm going to make Saki my lover... You broke her heart moron... I'm here to patch up the pieces." I said leaving the room.

"Saki?"

Itachi's P.O.V

He's already got a cute little nickname for her??

I haven't felt this uneasy in awhile...

These three were up to something and I'll find out what it is.

"Itachi?" I heard Misaki's voice..

I turned around to see her waking up.

"What are you doing here?" She said rubbing her eyes.

"Don't trust Amaya, Aoi, and Akira.." I said.

"Well Amaya I understand, Aoi I don't know, and Akira? Akira seems... Really kind and sweet..." Misaki said blushing and pushing her hair out of her face.

I grabbed her hand, "He's toying with you!" I said.

"Toying, huh? Makes me think of someone I know." She said glaring at me.

"Why do you even care? At one moment you are mad, happy, or caring when it comes to me. You hate me then you like me." She said and I let go of her hand.

"You are right... I shouldn't care for you at all.. I don't know what I was thinking." I said leaving the room.

I don't care for Misaki... I don't care for Misaki... But I can't let her fall for Akira...

Misaki's P.O.V

"Konan!" I said as I banged on her room door.

"Wait just a sec!" I heard her say and I waited for a couple seconds and she opened the door.

"What's up?"

"Pein's not in there right?"

"Nope. Want to come in?"

"Yes." I said and she allowed me to enter the room.

"You wanted to talk about something?"

I told her about my conversation with Itachi.

"Itachi sounds jealous..." Konan said with a smirk..

"I doubt it.."

"Why else would he want you not to date Akira? Wait! Do you like Akira?!"

I face turned pink, "Uhh... I think he's cute..."

"So you are giving up on Itachi?" Konan asks curiously.

"I don't like Itachi!  Never did, never will."

"When you were-"

"That doesn't count!" I said and Konan smirked.

"Anymore because of Akira?"

"Ugh!" I said getting up.

"I'm sorry!"

I glared at Konan.

"Misaki... I think you should be cautious of those three too.. If Itachi finds something's up, he's usually right..."

"It doesn't mean he's right this time." I said leaving the room.

"Misaki!"  I see Akira walking towards me.

"Yeaaahh...." I asked with a light blush on face.

"Wanna train together?" He asked standing directly in front of me.

I looked up at him and smiled, "Sure!"

***

"You are pretty good with that Katana, but you'll never be better than me."  He said smirking as I held Amejisuto.

"Well I didn't have that much training with it."  I said thinking about when my family died.

I frowned.

I felt a hand on my head, "I brought up a sad memory, huh?

"Don't be upset..."

My upset expression turned into a shocked one.

"You are still really good at it..."  Akira said with a big smile ruffling my hair.

I smiled softly.

He leaned in...

I dropped Amejisuto.

'Is he really going to kiss me?'  I thought as I blushed softly still standing there shocked.

I felt myself being pulled into someone else's arms.

'I know this warm feeling...' 

"Ita... chi...?" I asked still shocked from Akira's action.

"I thought I told you to be cautious." He said whispering in my ear.
