The Price Of Loving Him... (Itachi x reader)

Chapter 11

I do not own pic!

You couldn't stop thinking of what happened, it's your first time traveling away, and here you had almost gotten robbed or even worst...raped or killed.
You decided to never leave the groupe again for any reason until you're at the hidden leaf, anyway, there is not much left before you get there.

"Here we are guys!", one of your group partners said, as you could spot the giant green gate a distance away wide opened, a big smile appeared on your face as you had finally reached your destination!
You entered the village and after identifying yourselves, each one of you has been allowed to go to your business. You walked through the streets to explore the village first and look for a place to stay in during the time you're being in the leaf. You were too focused on exploring  your surroundings that you didn't notice the guy walking in your direction till you bumped into him. What's wrong with you? Is this some new habit you're developing? Bumping into random people in the streets?

"Excuse me sir! I'm so sorry, I was careless!", you apologized, quickly bowing your head before looking up at the person you've just bumped into, a masked silver-haired man, with konoha headband covering one of his eyes with it.
He gasped as you looked at him while a slight pink blush appeared on the small unmasked area of his cheek, he remained silent for a while just looking at you as you started to feel awkward.

"Um...is there a problem sir?", you asked in a low voice hoping that you haven't got yourself in trouble, at least not on your first day here.
"Oh! sorry Miss, I zoned out a bit. It's fine, don't worry", he said with a chuckle finally getting back to his senses as he rubbed the back of his head, while you just smiled.
"I think I've never seen you before here, are you a new visitor?", he asked you with an eye-closed smile.
"Yes I came here for learning purposes", you replied with smile too.
"Learning? What exactly?", he asked, shoving his hands in his pockets, looking relaxed and starting to enjoy the conversation.
"I'm a medical curer, so I came here to to learn more about the medical field, more precisely, learn how to use medical ninjustu, and learn more about the shinobi life and ninjutsu in general", you explained to him, maybe he can help you out to start your research.

"I see...interesting, for that you have first to talk about it with the Hokage", he said as he seemed to be thinking about something else, 'though I'm not sure you will be allowed to, these are informations and skills that can be only taught to the hidden leaf's people', he thought, looking at the Hokage's building that showed up from a distance.
"Hokage?", you exclaimed, wondering about it.
"The Hokage is the leader of our village. Everything needs her approval to be done, and so, that's the case for you too", he said smiling again.
"I see, can you tell me where to find her, please?", you asked, the guy was just about to answer your question when the two of you heard a loud voice coming toward you, as a teenage boy wearing an orange attire came to the two of you.

"KAKASHI SENSEI!!", the blond boy called the man talking to you, which now you know is called Kakashi.
"Lady Tsunade needs you at her office for som-...oh...hey! who's this girl Kakashi sensei?!", the blond asked as he got closer to your face, causing you to back away a few steps and blink confused, Kakashi soon pulled the blond back with a sigh.
"Naruto, don't be like this to her, this is...oh, I still didn't know her name yet", Kakashi said with a sweatdrop and a chuckle while scratching the back of his head again, as you giggled then apologized and introduced yourself.

"I'm [name] [last name], it's nice to meet you two", you said with a chuckle at how excited Naruto seemed.
"Nice to meet you too. I'm Kakashi Hatake, a jonin of the leaf, and this is Naruto Uzumaki", he said, while the blond named Naruto was smirking at him secretly, since when his sensei has become interested in real life girls and not that dirty book's women? Also this [name] girl is a beauty herself, no wonder he might had already had a crush on her...
"I'm heading to the Hokage's office right now, you can come with me if you want to", Kakashi told you as you nodded and Naruto joined you as well, saying he'd accompany the two of you, he was still curious about you though.

'So this is 'grandma Tsunade' as Naruto called her on the way here? She doesn't look that old, not old at all...', you thought after you entered her office along with Kakashi and Naruto. You have already explained to her the reasons why you came here, at first she totally refused about the whole learning thing, thinking that you might be a spy or something, but then after some more effort and with the help of Naruto she accepted but with some conditions:
She is not gonna teach you herself, she doesn't have time as she already has Sakura and Ino to work with, so you're gonna learn on your own with the help of the kind woman standing by her side named Shizune.
You are not allowed to access to some techniques and methods. Everything you're gonna learn is gonna first be approved by her or by Shizune. You're gonna be under her eye continuously, and also, you're gonna work at Konoha's hospital to pay off your rent and stuff and to help you enhance your skills more and help people of the leaf village.

These conditions were not too hard for you, lady Noriko had already taught you to rely on yourself, even when seeking knowledge, you only needed a guide, and Shizune seems fine.
You also has been offered a small apartment to stay in for the time you're gonna spend in Konoha, so the main problem you could face here has been solved, thanks to Kakashi and Naruto's efforts helping you.

You left the office after you had learnt what to do, now you know where to start from, the rest of the things is gonna be easy. You decided to go check on the small apartment you're gonna stay in and so, Naruto decided to help you out while Kakashi said he will just accompany you there to show you the location of it then leave because he has work to do.
"Thank you really, I have no idea what would I have done without your help!", you said thanking Kakashi who was just about to leave as he lead you to your new apartment. He blushed again, and Naruto noticed it as a smug look appeared on his face, Kakashi told you that's it's fine and it was a pleasure to help you then left, leaving you alone with Naruto to take care of the apartment.

The apartment wasn't in a good condition after all, but thanks to yours and Naruto's effort you managed to clean it up and turn it into a nice place, even Naruto told you that he doesn't even put that much effort cleaning his own house.
After thanking him as well for helping you, even though you were a complete stranger, Naruto left you alone to take a rest after a long day of traveling and cleaning. You walked to the bathroom and took a quick shower, then got out, eating a snack you've got on your way to the apartment, then went straight to bed after brushing your teeth due to tiredness.

You have been laying in bed covered with a thin sheet as the window has been left half open. The breeze has been moving the curtains gently, while a crow landed on your window, looking at your figure as you slept peacefully.
