I Got Hots For My Rival~ Itachi Modern AU [NWA Winter'14 1st Place] REVISED

Chapter 29

~Timothy's POV~

Today since Anna was out with her friends and me being home early, I decided to cook today. I knew my sister would be tired after her hangout and not wanting to push her to work in her recovering state, I put on the apron.

"How come you are home early today bro?" Max asked, passing me some vegetables for the stew.

"Less to do today." I answered plainly but my brother looked at me for a while then grinned. "What?"

"You didn't realise that this is the designated time when you get off. You are home late so this is why the regular timing seems early to you."

"Ah...ok what?"

"Are you seeing someone?" Well that was more straightforward than expected.

Thank goodness I didn't have to answer that question because the front door opened and Anna arrived, a skip in her step.

"Hello sweet brothers~" She said happily and went to her room. Just like that.

What the hell!?

"What's wrong with sis?" Eric asked appearing in the kitchen.

"I...don't know."

"Is it necessary that there is something wrong? Something must have went right maybe that's why she's happy." Max said grinning. Sly boy.

"What did you do?" Eric and I asked at the same time.

"Nothing much. I asked Konan-nee to arrange a meet-up for sis with Itachi-nii so they could make up. I also told Itachi-nii that sis was a bit guilty for yelling at him." He replied in a matter-of-fact tone.

"You're a genius! That's so good. I'm so happy to see her happy." I complemented Max, patting his back.

Us three were talking when out of nowhere, Anna jumped from the railing guarding the stairs that went to the upper floor.

"ARE YOU MAD?!?!" I exclaimed before the thought even came to my mind.

"No. Why'd you ask?" She replied boredly.

"Oh maybe the fact that you jumped down from up there! In your current condition!"

"Stop yelling. Its annoying." Anna made a face, poking her fingers in her ears.

"Its concern." Eric added.

"Yeah whatever. Well I 'jumped' to ask if you knew where mum's kimono is? I know I brought it from America." She said looking around, as if trying to retrace her steps from the day she put the dress somewhere.

"Why do you need that?" Max asked curiously, for all of us.

"Right. You don't know yet." She started with a plain tone but gradually the excitement and happiness radiated from her face when she answered. "Well I'm going to the festival! Yaaayyy!!" She was way too happy.

"With who?" Eric asked, knowing the answer.

"Itachi asked."

"That's so cool. You two can finally see the love for each other now."

"Stop saying things like that. Ya where's that kimono?"

"In the closet of the empty room. But be careful-" She didn't even let me finish and ran off.

I sighed happily and continued the cooking for dinner.

~Anna's POV~

I opened the closet door and glanced here and there to find the box with mum's kimono. I looked at all the taped paper specifying the contents of each box, starting from the bottom and worked my way upwards and sighed when I spotted the correct carton.

It had to be on the top. Ugh!

I jumped with an outstretched arm but my fingers only grazed the box. Trying again, the whole box stumbled and fell on me. I rubbed my head and gathered the many items that fell from the box. I was about to get up when certain pictures caught my attention.

Oh, Marcus.

I picked up the picture frame and stared at it with longing eyes. It had Marcus and me, both grinning like idiots. He had an arm around me and although I was a little red in the face, I was enjoying nonetheless.

My eyes were glazed with tears but none of them fell. I was so absorbed in my thoughts that I didn't notice Tim walking in the room and sitting beside me.

"He was a good boy."

"I know." I replied plainly.

"But now he's gone. Come on Anna, let him go. He wanted you to be happy and you're constantly moping and sulking about the past. Marcus would be sad because you're not happy as he wanted."

"But I loved him and its nearly impossible for me to look at someone else like that."

"Yaa but he wants you happy. Give somebody worthy a chance and you'll find Marcus' love in somebody."

" Alright. I will try." I sighed and took the pitcure with me along with the kimono.

"Come on dinner time." I nodded to my brother and after placing my things on in my room, I went to eat.

That night when I went to bed, I thought of Marcus and also for some reason, Itachi as well.
