Our Twisted Tale (Itachi X Reader)

Chapter Eight

A Glimpse Into The Past

Past:

I walked to the park with a slight limp as I debated my options. I mean, knowing my past is important, but romance is too because you never know when it'll pop up again.
I sighed as I realized I couldn't move anymore, literally. I hoped it wasn't who I thought it was, but my wish wasn't granted. Of course it was him for gosh sake.
Itachi hugged me from behind and kissed my neck, resting his chin there afterwards to whisper in my ear. "I missed you, my dear Y/N." I huffed in annoyance, but in truth I had so many questions I wanted to ask him. For instance, what were we before I lost my memory? Was I actually in the Anbu when we were younger? Do I look a lot different from back then?
"What do you want, Itachi?" I looked at him from the corner of my eye, he casted a predatory glance at me that sent shivers down my spine. I can't lie, he really is handsome.
"I want you to remember me already. You're taking too long, my love. So long that another man has already been wanting to claim you as his." Itachi answered as his voice turned acidic towards the end. He scoffed and mumbled something about 'pull yourself together, Itachi' to himself.
"Can't you let me go already? Honestly, I feel uncomfortable." I lied to both him and myself, I actually liked being in his arms but I'd never admit that. Suddenly I could move again and I slapped him hard. "You need to learn some manners! Geez, always sneaking up on me like that..."
Itachi chuckled and apologized to me. I started walking towards my thinking place and Itachi followed, sensing that I had questions. I silently looked his way as we sat down, he looked at me with a small smile, his expression turning serious right after.
     "Y/N, I am here to answer all the questions you might ask so take advantage, my love." He rested his head against the tree behind him and closed his eyes, expecting my bombardment.
     I breathed out, it was easier said than done. My cheeks tinted a shade of pink as I finally mustered up the courage to ask him. "What were we before I lost my memory, Itachi?" He opened his eyes and looked at me, he closed his eyes again and sighed with a small smile.
     "We were lovers, Y/N. I thought you'd know that by know." He paused, as if hesitating to continue. "The day you left for your mission, it was also the day we became official." I looked at him and was surprised to see Itachi smiling up at the sky, I started feeling bad. That smile alone made me forget the other questions I had. I lightly gasped and put a hand on the ground to steady myself.

Flashback:

"I-Itachi..." I looked up at him and he actually smiled at me, I looked at the necklace and my jaw dropped. The chain was silver and the flower in the middle stood out proudly and gracefully, it was colored a dark red and in the middle stood a small, shiny gem. "I-Itachi I-I... can't take this! Why are you giving this to me?"
"Y/N, I know this is unexpected but please take it, it would make me the happiest I've been in years." Itachi lightly pleaded, I sighed and nodded at him with a smile to which he smiled back. "Good, now I can do this."
He grabbed my hand and put it on his shoulder as he leaned in to kiss me, I closed the gap and we kissed. He caressed my cheek as we pulled apart and looked at me. "Will you be my girlfriend, Y/N?"
"Yes, I'll be your girlfriend, Itachi." I answered as I hugged him tightly. He rested his head on my shoulder before pulling me up with him.

Flashback End:

     I regained my breath and finally, my composure. I looked to my right and finally felt the hand that was helping me steady myself, it was Itachi's. "What's wrong?" He asked with a slightly concerned look, I slapped my hand onto my neck quickly with a worried look. I sighed in relief as I felt it's shape in my hand.
     "I'm still wearing it, huh?" Itachi looked at me curiously and moved my hand away, only to find the necklace he had given me that day. He smiled at me, genuinely, and I couldn't help but smile back. "I remember it, I remember when you gave it to me, Itachi." I hugged him tightly, and he hugged back.
     I felt emotions run through my body as I sighed in content, I didn't remember anything but this was a good start. This glimpse into the past had awoken more feelings in me, especially for Itachi.
I finally let go of him and lightly caressed his cheek with a sad smile. "Look, I don't remember much but I know that I'll remember more over time. I know this is selfish, but let me stay here until I regain all my memories. If I take too long, just help me remember okay? I want to know what I'm doing again, I want to know the path I'm going to take with certainty."
Itachi put his hand over mine and leaned into it, nodding afterwards. He let go, stood and helped me up. I hugged him tightly, feeling bad for how much he's probably going through.
"I will come back in a couple of months, my love." He hugged back and gave me a kiss on my forehead. He let go and walked into the forest, I couldn't sense his presence anymore.
I wiped the eye that began to tear up, and turned away from the grassy field. I moved back towards the village, back towards Kakashi's house.
I took my time walking, letting my thoughts roam around with me. Before I knew it, I stood before the door. I opened it and came inside, only to find Kakashi sitting on the couch with his head in his hands.
As soon as he noticed my entrance, he stood up and quickly turned to look at me. "Hey, welcome back. You were gone for a while, want me to make you something?" He started heading towards the kitchen, I sighed and followed him.
"You know me so well." I lightly laughed and sat down. The awkwardness didn't seem too prominent, but I did want to bring it up.
"Can we talk? I was trying to forget what I said, but I can't. I'm sorry about that, by the way. It was out of the blue." He put my dinner in front of me and sat down across from me. I nodded.
"I... I'm really sorry, but I just need some time, okay? I need to find out who I am, about my past. Once I know that, I know I'll be able to make my own decisions without knowing how it'll affect me and that's going to take awhile. I guess what I'm trying to say is you should get over me, I can move out if that's easier for you. I don't want any romance until I figure out who I am. I'm flattered, though, so thanks."
I looked down at my lap, where my hands rested nervously with my headband in them. I heard him get up and walk over towards me, I got sort of panicky. He pulled my chin up towards him and kissed my forehead, I gasped and looked at him.
He had taken off his mask and holy cow, he was attractive. "Not as attractive as my Itachi, though... Wait, what did I just say?!"
Kakashi crouched near my side and smiled at me. "I'll wait for you, Y/N, forever and always because it'll always be you."
