The Promise We Made [Naruto High Fanfic]

3. Hear Me Out

3. Hear Me Out

***SILVER'S POV***

I quickly jerk my head towards the door. Who was it? Having one person knowing I am is bad enough...

"Silver, Takami."

Who is it... I haven't stayed in this house long enough to tell the difference between their voices yet dammit!

"Who is it." I ask sharply. Followed by silence. "I demand to know an answer."

Konan looks at me worryingly, probably worried for the only other female in the house.

The door opens and I see raven black hair. Itachi-san...

"So, it is you..." I murmur quietly. "What do you want?" I ask as he continues a emotionless facade.

"I don't want anything, from you." Itachi says to me. I glare at him from my darkened blue eyes. "I knew something was up with you, but I didn't know that you were a cross dresser."

"You seem like the more intellegent one in the household, Itachi-san." I comment, clear, but quiet. "I would have prefered you not to figure out my gender."

"Would you guys stop talking so sophisticated?!" Konan snaps. "It's making me feel stupid!"

" . . . What do you presume we do, Konan?" Itachi turns to her. "It isn't like we can keep this a secret from Pein and the others."

"M-maybe we can!" Konan squeaks. "It's not like they can figure out that she's a girl, right?"

I stay quiet. How can I stay a boy in this house, without them figuring out?

"That's impossible." Itachi decides, his eyes straying to me. "Silver's hair is too long, and her eyes are too big. People would be stupid not to realize sooner or later."

"S-she doesn't look that girly! No offense Silver." Konan reassures me. "How about we discuss this tomorrow at a cafe? Sounds good?"

 I stare at him a little longer before sighing. "Alright, but only if Itachi-san doesn't tell anyone about this."

". . . Fine by me. But you are to explain in full detail who you really are tomorrow." Itachi says, adjusting his glasses. "Be prepared." He says as he leaves the room.

Konan grabs my shoulders and smiles confidently at me. "Don't worry! Itachi has been like that for a while. He really doesn't mean anything bad!"

"Really now..." I murmur under my breathe.

Konan laughs nervously as she gives me a small smile. "Although, I am quite curious about what you're hiding Silver..." Konan admits. "Itachi is a curious person too. So I hope you don't think badly of us."

I shake my head. "Not at all. You people allow me to live in the same household as you. I cannot be more grateful."

Konan flashes a smile before she stands, pulling me up with her. "Alright, but are you still going to sleep in the same room as Hidan? What if he figures out?"

"I'll be careful." I tell her blankly. "I know he isn't that stupid, but I think I can get past him with some to no difficulty."

"Hm, I guess so." Konan chirps. "Well I better be getting out of here. Who knows what they could be thinking out there, you know?"

"Alright. Thank you for understanding, Konan-san." I bow.

"Alright, I'll see you tomorrow morning." She says before leaving and closing the door.

I slump back against the couch. How in the world am I going to explain everything to them? Am I going to trust them, or fill them with more lies?

Sigh, this is going to be a lot more difficult then I orignally thought.
