Collared (Dom!UchihaItachi x Sub!Malereader)

Part 3

When the two of you step out of the forest you can't help but dread stepping foot inside the village again. You look up to see the gates of Konoha. Memories of your time in the village plague your mind as you do so. Your body starts shaking out of fear. Itachi notices this and stops walking. You look down at the ground still trembling in fear.

Itachi walks closer to you and grabs your chin to make you look at him. ''I promise you from the bottom of my heart, that no one will ever harm you again. I will make you happy and make sure you will walk alongside me with pride. You no longer have to cower in front of them. From now on you are above them. Do you understand love.'' You only see honesty in his eyes. He means every word he said. When you realize this you can't help but blush a bit and try to look away. His grip on your chin prevents you from doing so. You see him smile at you.

''H-how did you know? That the people in the village treat me.......badly.'' You can't help but ask him this question since you haven't mentioned this to him before. ''Because I already knew you before we met. I saw you once in the village about a year ago. The moment I saw you I knew you were my mate. I tried to find as much information as I could on you. I tried to protect you without making myself known to you. I didn't want to frighten you with my presence so I waited for the right time. When I found out this would be your first Collarevent I was happy. The chance to finally meet you came. You know how the rest goes.'' You look in his eyes as he says this. Looking for emotion since his face is quite expressionless. There you see happiness and maybe a bit of shame.

You smile at him. ''Thank you for looking out for me all this time.'' You feel him hug you closer to him. Your face is now pressed into his chest. ''I promise to make you happy my love.'' He kisses you on the forehead. Your face burst out red at this. ''E-eh ah y-yes m-me t-too.'' You manage to stutter out while bringing a hand to your forehead. Then you hear an angelic sound. You look up to see Itachi chuckling. The sound of it is so mesmerizing to you. You can't help but feel that this is rare so you try to burn the sound in your memory.

Itachi takes off his cloak and puts it around you. This snaps you out of your reverie ''It's starting to get chilly and your clothes aren't warm enough. We will look for some nice clothes tomorrow.'' He fastens the cloak around you and grabs your hand again. The two of you start walking through the gates. Luckily the streets aren't busy because of the event. The few people that are on the street look at you in disgust, before seeing Itachi walking beside you. They quickly look away when they see Itachi glare at them. You squeeze Itachi's hand. With the other hand you pull on the hood of the cloak, to hide your face. Itachi moves his arm around your waist, while still holding your hand, and hugs you to his side.

The rest of the way you walk in this position. You suddenly feel Itachi stop walking. ''We are here. Your new home.'' You look up and see a huge house maybe the term mansion fits better. ''I-it's so big.'' You say to him while looking at the mansion. ''I live here with my family. To ensure some privacy we each have our own wing. My parents have one, my little brother and his mate have one and now you share one with me.''

Itachi starts to pull you towards the house. While you are almost to the front door you suddenly stop. This makes Itachi look around towards you. ''What's wrong love?'' ''W-what if your family doesn't like me? What if they hate me? What if they think I'm a freak? Or if they – '' Your ranting is cut off by Itachi's finger on your lips.

''I promise you my love they will absolutely adore you. My family have quite the similar taste after all. The only thing you may have to worry about is being smothered by affection. Besides my little brother's mate was also an outcast of the village. I think the two of you will get along fine. Trust me.'' You decide to do as he says and trust him.

The two of you walk towards the door. Itachi opens it and holds it open for you. You walk inside and look around while Itachi closes the door behind you. ''Welcome to your new home and your new life.'' Itachi says while hugging you from behind.
