Itachi's Senju Lover

Anbu

Itachi and I walked out of the Hokage's office a little shocked, we are only 11 and we are being asked to be Anbu. That's huge. Itachi and I talked about it, he said he is going to talk to his father before he decides weather to accept or decline the offer. I have a lot to think about too, I may not have the family that Itachi has but I do like being a jonin and being in Anbu is unlike any other...The missions are even more top secret, they have to hide their emotions even more, they even have to wear a mask and have code names to hide their identity. Itachi and I walked in silents for a short time. "Itachi, how are you feeling?" I asked, breaking the silents. Itachi looked towards me before looking straight again.

"If you are wondering how the pills are affecting me, I feel fine. You know as well as I do that it's not going to be cured with just two pills..." Itachi spoke. I bit my lip.

"Itachi...I don't think you should be  in Anbu, not now..." I spoke quietly, almost hesitantly. I heard Itachi pause in his walk.

"What do you mean?" Itachi spoke softly. I glance at him biting my lip, looking at his face I look straight towards the ground. I can tell he is hurt.

"It's not that I think you are weak, because you are so strong and smart...It's just I know your father will want you to join and even if you don't truly want to you will, because he wants you to. What if the pills I made you don't work, I don't want you to die or get hurt." I spoke softly. I did see or hear Itachi come closer to me but I felt him. He brought me into a tight hug.

"I know you are worried for me, even without my condition you would be worried about me...I know you don't want me to get hurt or to die, I feel the same with you. (y/n), we are shinobi. We are bound to get hurt and we will all die one day, the question is when and how. I know you have been training and learning as fast as you can so you can move up when I do. I know you care for me, but you can always be at my side and I can't always be by yours..no matter how much we wish it to be that way." Itachi spoke softly while he held me tightly.

"I just don't want to lose you too." I spoke my voice cracking from holding back the tears.

"You won't. As long as you keep me in your heart you will never lose me, the same as I with you.." Itachi spoke. I just buried my face further into his clothed chest while he ran his fingers through my hair. With that we continued to walk and eventually split up, walking our separate ways.

~Time Skip~

Today was the day that Itachi and I give our answer. As I was walking to the Hokage' office I saw Itachi is doing the same. I sped up to catch up with him. "Ita!" I called out, making Itachi slow and look back at me. I gave him a wave and a smile.

"Hello, (y/n)." Itachi spoke as we walked next to each other.

"Hi Itachi, so you are going to join...aren't you?" I spoke looking down. Itachi didn't answer so I looked up at him, and by the look on his face I knew he was joining. I nodded at him with a sad smile. "Well I'm joining too, at least we will be on the same team...right?" I spoke. Itachi gave me a nod. "Hey, I believe Kakashi is in Anbu as well. Maybe all three of us will be on the same team!" I spoke happily. I saw Itachi raise a brow.

"Kakashi?" Itachi questioned. I nodded my head.

"Yeah, I told you that I trained with him for the chunin exams. Remember?" I spoke. Itachi had a look of realization and he nodded his head.

"Yeah, now I do." Itachi spoke. We were now in front of the Hokage's door and Itachi knocked.

"Come in." Lord Third spoke, voice muffled from behind the door. Itachi and I entered the office and gave a respectful bow.
