Ch 2: Arrangements and Rules

I laid down. The last few weeks had definitely been interesting. I got Nagato able to walk from my bed back to his bed and I am slowly able to feel more muscles than just bones when I give him check-ups. I smiled thinking of the day before as I got into bed, Obito right beside me on my pillow again like always. Kisame had pissed off Hidan and ended up running outside and almost into the pool. It was lucky that Kura was out there swimming or else Kisame would have walked right into it and possibly drowned.

I looked around the village with tears running down my eyes. Shikai was fighting off intruders with my parents when fire came out of nowhere, seemingly burning them alive. I looked around in panic and caught sight of a head of red hair and a head of black hair. I could feel a pair of seafoam blue eyes and light green eyes on my head, knowing they were Kurosaki's and Chi's.

"I need to save them!"

I ran into the flames but was pulled back. Smoke made my eyes water even more, making more tears flow down my cheeks. I kept trying but was held back. I just fell to my knees and started coughing. I felt blood on my hands and tasted it in my mouth.

I woke up with tears in my eyes and blood on my hand as I coughed and coughed. I reached for the glass of purified water on my stand as I pushed the kittens away from me. I ended up falling off the bed and knocked the cup onto Itachi. Smoke blew into my face making my coughing worse and I reached for the medicine bottle on the stand where the water was.

A hand grabbed my own and picked me up. My eyes were blurry with tears and my head hurt from coughing but I could see who it was perfectly.

"Itachi!" I coughed out then looked at the medicine bottle.

I put up two shaking fingers and he nodded, taking two pills out for me and placing them in my hand with more water. I hurried to take the medicine and scarfed down the water. In a matter of minutes the medicine kicked in and my coughing gradually stopped. I was left exhausted and panting, trying desperately to get air into my burning lungs as Itachi watched me.

I passed out uttering the words, "The water."

I woke maybe a few hours later to find Itachi sitting on the other side of the bed with Nagato, both with towels around their waists. I groaned as I breathed in deeply and tried to sit up but was pushed back down. Itachi was now by my side of the bed standing beside me making me lay back down.

"Are you sick?" Nagato asked.

I sighed and looked at my fingers. I felt Obito nuzzle my arm with his head. I smiled slightly and patted his head.

"Yes," I stated softly, ruefully.

Itachi looked at the medication I had and glanced to me as I looked down at my clean hands, free of the blood from my fit.

"This is the same medication as mine, you know?" Itachi asked with a raised brown, surprise evident in his voice though it was mostly suppressed.

I sighed again and was about to ask about my hands when I heard a squeal. I covered my ears and looked at the door to see Kura fangirling. Next thing we knew she fainted. Nagato just shook his head and we watched as Cheshire stepped over the body on the floor and I noticed she had Sasori in her arms petting his head.

"So you figured it out?" She asked.

"By accident," I stated with a sheepish smile.

Cheshire glared knowing I was leaving something out.

"She had a fit," Itachi stated in his monotonous voice.

"Itachi!" I yelled with a growl.

He just shrugged and Cheshire glared at me then gave him a slight smile. "Thank you for telling me that Itachi. Did someone clean her hands?"
