(Himeko's pov)
"AH!" I screeched in pain. Itachi sent me an apologetic look before continuing to set me down carefully on my bed. We were at our secret spot. The waterfall had ceased it's roaring due to the lack of rain recently.
"Your wounds will take some time to heal..." He murmured softly. "I just need rest," I reassured him with a smile. He still had that same stoic look on his face. To lighten his spirits, I flicked his forehead with all the strength I had left.
He instantly winced in response.
"What's with that face?" I asked him rhetorically while laughing lightly. "I'm still alive because of you."
".....You're in this mess because of me."
"Huh?! Who said that? Stop being so full of yourself!" I shouted, feigning anger. My face was close to his as I glared hard into his charcoal eyes. Itachi was slightly taken aback, either by my close proximity or outburst.
Slowly I reeled back with a sigh.
"This is more than just you Itachi. Shisui and I did this because our family may be responsible for the death of Konoha. If that happened.....another Shinobi war with the remaining Nations and Uchihas may occur. This is bigger than any of us."
Itachi's lips tightened into a line, his gaze looking at the ground.
"You should return," I said, leaning back into my hammock. "News of Shisui's death will spread quickly. You'll be the first they'll interrogate."
"You're staying here?"
I nodded. "Danzo can't know I'm still alive or where I'm hiding out. The Hokage will tell you what to do. Be prepared Itachi. Our time is coming."
