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

Chapter 43

~Anna's POV~

After recess, Konan had to go to the bathroom so I went to class before her so I took this time to ask Itachi about the details of the plan. I spotted him and went to him.

" Yo."

"Didn't you say that earlier in the same day?" Itachi said monotonously.

"So I forgot to ask, won't I need a medical certificate for skipping classes or something of that sort?" He thought about it a little then answered.

"You will have to arrange a session with your doctor, telling him everything."

"NOOOO!!!" The students in the class all turned to look at me.

"Can't you do anything that doesn't attract attention?" I ignored his comment.

" DON'T YOU PEOPLE HAVE SOMETHING BETTER TO DO?!" I yelled and everybody turned their faces the other way.

"Its like nothing I say have any effect on you."

"Hehe."

"So why don't you want to go to your doctor?" I looked at him seriously.

"I don't like hospitals."

"Not a valid reason."

"Fine grumpy."

"I can accompany you if you would like it." He said, with a smile. Oh Lord.

"Um.. I can't trouble you-"

"Its not trouble. Stop thinking like that."

"Alrighttttt."

After school, I took some time to rest, during which Itachi explained the situation to my brothers. They trusted him more than enough so they agreed to his plans.

Konan wanted to come with me so I told her I'd meet her at the hospital. We scheduled with my doctor and told him everything he didn't know which was just yesterday's happening.

I was scolded a lot and almost prescribed a psychiatrist but my two friends convinced the doctor for having no need to take such measures. Thank goodness for that. But in the end, doc also agreed to what was being discussed and I walked out of the hospital with a medical recommendation to take it easy till I get stabilized.

"See ya tomorrow guys." I waved everybody bye and headed with Itachi to the principal's office. Yahiko took Konan away. -.-

"Ms. Tsunade will see you shortly. She's currently busy with a bunch of troublemakers." Shizune explained.

"Whose group?" Itachi asked.

"Naruto. They were bunking the class." She answered with a sigh. Itachi sweatdropped.

"Alright." He nodded and we both went to sit in the waiting area.

"Who's Naruto?" I inquired.

"Sasuke's best friend. He's a prankster."

"Do you know them all?" I mocked.

"Sasuke usually brings his group to the house for hang out so being the responsible adult I am, I have to know each one of them." I snickered.

"You? Responsible?"

"What's wrong with that?"

"Oh nothing." I rolled my eyes. I stopped, when I heard the principal yelling.

"NARUTO! THIS IS THE FIFTH TIME I HAVE CAUGHT YOU BUNKING THE CLASS!!"

"Oh Granny, what Kakashi-teacher teaches is boring! Just admit it already!" Naruto, presumably, said. I didn't hear anymore then.

"Granny? For real?" I asked.

"No. She's just old so Naruto calls her Granny. Its also because she gets angry when he says it."

"I love this boy already."

"A troublemaker?"

"My kind." I smirked.

"Of course." It was now Itachi's turn to roll his eyes.

After some time a group of boys came out and one of them came to Itachi.

"Hey Itachi." He greeted. Blonde, blue eyes, average height. Looks pretty.

"Hey Naruto."

"Ohoooo, who's she?" He grinned and flashed Itachi a look. I laughed. This kid. XD

"She's Anna. My 'neighbour." Itachi replied emphasizing neighbour.

"Oh, so you're Anna! Sasuke keeps talking about you. He thinks you're hot. I think you're awesome!"

"Awwh, I have my own fan club and I'm loved by two of the cutest guys in school! COOL!" He blushed a little.

"You think I'm cute?" He asked, looking away with a grin.

"Cuter than most guys I know."

"Hehe. So what are you two doing here? I remember Itachi never caused any trouble."

"Oh yes. We just need to discuss some schedules." I said sighing.

"Well good luck with that. Granny is in a bad mood right now."

"Its your doing, Naruto." I stated. He sheepishly rubbed the back of his head.

"Okay, bye." He said and left.

Soon Shizune told us that we could go into the office and talk to Tsunade. We both went into the office and on the Principal's command got ourselves seated.

"Oh its Itachi. So what can I help you two with?" She asked. She didn't seem too old.

She knew Itachi on more than a student level so I guess it was best that he explained it. He must have thought so as well because given the moment, he started speaking.

The principal recognised me as the kid who was absent for months after a few weeks at school. She was still a medical specialist so she knew what I must be going through. She was so considerate about the matter that her words alone put me at ease that there still were some people in the world who have compassion.

The conclusion reached was that if I ever felt out of it, I could just rest in the class or go to the infirmary where Ma'am Shizune had two guards to keep a constant eye on me. Or I could just be absent or leave early.

"Very well.I will inform the teachers. And get well soon kid." Ma'am Tsunade said.

"Thank you." I replied.

"Dismiss." We both went out of the office.

"I never knew you could get so civilized at times." Itachi mocked.

"Hey!!"

"Well its true."

"Yeah. Well thanks for caring and uh um...you know...doing what you did." I smiled. He nodded.

"You were perfectly fine until I got you in the hospital so everything that is happening to you is partially still my fault." We were walking to the gates.

"Really dude, stop worrying about that. You've went out of your way to ensure my health and sanity." I told him. I didn't know he still thought about that.

"Still, when I see a friend suffering as much as you are, I can't leave it alone, can I?"

"Thank you."

Arriving home I went directly to my room and changed into my sleeping clothes then went back downstairs to get something to eat. I was done eating the humongous sandwich and putting the dishes away, Tim was in his room, Max was playing video games and Eric was nowhere to be found. I made my way to TV when the bell rang.
