Wanting (Itachi Uchiha x OC) [Completed]

Chapter Fifty: Samichi's Predicament

"Yeah, Mother. You will." I lied. They let go of me and I took a step up the stairs around them. They gave me a weird look but nonetheless left.

I was glad I got to say goodbye.

The next afternoon, I left the others to do their own thing while I went to bathe Indira.

I put her on my shoulders and ran with her down the hallway to the bathroom. She giggled the entire way there. She sat on the floor next to me while I ran the bathwater. When there was warm water in the tub, Indira pulled on my sleeve.

"Mama, I forgot my toys!" She cried out.

"Go get them. Hurry, though!" I made it seem like it was a big deal when it was just my impatience.

A few seconds later, Indira came back with a strange look on her face and no toys.

"What's the matter?" I asked her.

"Mama, Tobi and the other one are doing something weird." She shook her head. Out of curiosity, I picked her up in my arms and walked out to the living room. I stopped in my tracks. Tobi and Hidan were playing Twister on the floor. I burst out laughing, and Indira giggled a bit.

"What're you doing Hidan?" I asked through fits of laughter.

"That's the question, isn't it? Deidara didn't want to go, so I was fuc- uh, freaking forced to play in his spot." Hidan stood up immediately and sat on the couch instead, which caused poor Tobi to fall on the floor face, or in this case, mask-first.

"H-Hey! Hidan, we were playing a game!" He pouted childishly.

"It's embarrassing, I'm not doing that shit!" Hidan shook his head.

Itachi seemed indifferent as he excused himself from the scene and walked over to the Indira and I. When he lifted his head he was clearly suffering from second-hand embarrassment for his comrades but walked down the hallway with us.

"Itachi, who let them play that game?" I asked, setting Indira on the ground for her to walk back to the bathroom.

"I suppose it was Tobi's idea. No one wanted to play the game with him, and you known the rest." He chuckled. I studied Itachi's embarrassed face and realized that he doesn't really get that way around others. I smiled at the thought of it.

While Indira had her bath with Itachi bathing her. I went to the kitchen to prepare tea. Samichi helped me out by handing me different herbs and things.

"Akira, I have something personal to ask you." I looked over to the 18-year-old girl. I suppose it was nice to watch her grow into a mature lady. She had finally ditched her man-stealing flirty ways and was committed to Dei. Who am I kidding? I'm only 22, barely a lady myself.

"There's no way to work my way up to this question, so I'll just say it. Why doesn't Deidara really... touch me?" She asked. I dropped the tea glass on the table, just hard enough to make a small sound.

"Touch you?" I asked. Sure it felt good for her to come to me for advice, but this kind of advice? True though, she didn't any other girl to go to. Konan is in her mid-thirties. Plus she's not really the person to go to with... that kind of advice.

A blush that had to be at least 10 shades of red spread to her cheeks and ears. "N-no! Not touch me that way, I mean, he doesn't show me any affection. He just uses dry phrases I've heard a thousand times. Is he bored of me," Good to know Samichi was still as clingy as ever. "I figured I'd ask you for help since you're his big sister." She finished. I thought for a moment.

"Hmm... Dei's the type to wait for you to make a move first. You just have to be forward." I winked at her and poured a few cups of tea. "Tea, everyone!" I shouted.

Soon, everyone was in the kitchen. I gave Indira some juice. Samichi with her tea down and cleared her throat to get Deidara's attention. I watched her claim her love.

"Deidara! I love you! I wish you'd pay attention to me more, you damn fool!" Samichi grabbed him by his collar and pulled him into a deep kiss. He obviously kissed her back. Impressive.
