The Prophecy | Uchiha Love Triangle ❥

Chapter XXII. Crow

His memory still lingers. When I sleep I can see images of him. I wish Kemono would have kept the memories of him away from me, far away. I bury my face in the pillow on my bed and close my eyes, when a knock comes from my wooden door. "It's unlocked." I say just loud enough for whoever was outside to hear.
As the figure opens the door and steps into the light of the candle I smile. "Sasuke." He gently closed the door and walked toward my bed. I quickly stand to my feet. I gasp as he quickly pins me to the cold stone wall. "Sa-Sauke?" He props his forehead against the stone wall. I close my eyes feeling his hot breath on my neck. "Naomi." His lips barley brush my neck when he slams his fist to the wall. "Dammit." I jump and open my eyes wide. "Why do you make me feel this way?" I give a slight smile and caress his cheek with my tiny hand. "It's called love." I say kissing him gently. He starts to kiss back, then slowly pulls away.
"Sasuke?" He turns his face away from mine, but keeps me pinned against the cold wall. I move his bangs from his face. "Naomi," He pauses and looks me straight in the eyes. "Itachi is still with you." I tilt my head. "What do you mean?" He hangs his head and gently puts one hand on my stomach. "You don't feel it?" Sasuke grabs my hand and puts it on my lower stomach. My eyes widen as I feel life within myself.
Tears begin to pour from my eyes. "No...No..." I grip my head in my hands. "Naomi." I start to sob uncontrollably. Sasuke picks me up in his arms and lays me in my bed. I grab his arm and pull him into bed with me. He waste no time in wrapping me in his strong arms. "It's going to be okay." He says in a tone i've never heard before.
I loved Itachi, but being pregnant isn't what I want. I'm suppose to kill my father. How am I going to achieve that goal with a child within me? "Sasuke I can't be pregnant." I say through my tears. "Well, Itachi and you did have intercourse." He pauses "Right?" I feel a slight blush form on my cheeks. "Yes, Itachi was my first." I whisper. "Then yes you can be pregnant." I playfully slap his arm. He wipes the tears form my eyes. "You need to rest." He says standing to his feet. I quickly grab his arm. "Does Father know?" He shakes his head. I release a sigh of relief. He takes a step toward the door. "Stay." I quietly mumble. He turns half his face to me as a smile emerges from his lips. He slowly removes his shirt and his katana. I try my best to hide the redness forming on my cheeks. I slide over making room for him. I turn my back to him as he makes his way into my bed. I smile as I feel his arms wrap around my waist.
I can hear Sasuke's breathing. He fell asleep very fast after his body was against mine. His heartbeat is a calming rhythm. I close my eyes remembering Itachi's heartbeat. I shake my head. I'm in bed with Itachi's brother and here I am thinking about Itachi. I slowly reach down to my stomach. "Itachi." I whisper.
I slowly open my eyes to see a red eyed crow starring at me. I look into its eyes. Tears form in my eyes as I see the image reflecting from the grows red orbs. My hurt aches as I see Itachi smiling back at me. It seems so real... Could Itachi still actually communicate with me? I reach up to the crows head. It pushes its head into my hand. I slowly stroke its feathers. The crow then jumps onto my hand and once again I stare into its red orbs.
"Naomi." I open my eyes. Everything is white. I jump as a hand lands on my shoulder. "Naomi." I slowly turn around. I cover my mouth with my hand. I look into the eyes of my unborn child's father. "Itachi!" I yelp as I wraps my arms around his neck." He hugs back tighly. As he pulls away he looks at my belly. I smile slightly as he puts his hand on my abdomen. "The next generation of Uchiha's begins here." I place my hand on top of his. As tears swell in my eyes I hang my head. "I can't do this without you." He lifts my head back up and gently places a kiss on my lips. "I believe in you."
I gasp as I open my eyes back within Sasuke's grasp. I watch as the crow slowly fades away. All that remains is a feather. I bring it to my face and study it. I smile as I see a message imprinted on the spine of the black silky feather.
