My Life (Itachi Uchiha)

Chapter 9 (What's Mine)

ENJOY!

There I stood, in front of HIM. It's been three years... three long years.

The sound of thunder rolling behind me jolted my soul awake. "You used me," I whispered. Lightning danced across the sky illuminating his face, the face that I have come to affiliate with pain, being used and abused.

He licked his lips and wrung the hem of his red, plaid shirt. "I'm sorry."

I'm sorry... I've heard that so many times that the words have lost all meaning. He hurt me. He made me feel neglected. He used me then casted me away like a used tissue then when I call him out on it, he's always sorry. The anger bubbled up in me as lighting once again danced across the sky. I began to back away from this... this monster.

He extended his hand towards me. "Please, I'm sorry."

I shook my head at him. "Leave me alone, you'll only hurt me again."

He took a step closer. "Please, Elaina."

I shook my head a clenched my fists. Flashes of the memories of him using me and taking everything from me appeared in my mind. "I said no!" My blood was boiling. The tree of hatred that I had so desperately wanted to cut down and burn was now shooting up in my heart and poisoning me with its thirst for revenge.

His eyes softened... lies. "Please."

Then it happened... the anger blossomed in me and exploded. "I SAID LEAVE ME ALONE!" A deafening boom echoed through the cold air and there was a flash... then, everything went black.

I was out until I heard my name being whispered under the cover of the rumbling of thunder. I sat up and my dream came rushing back t me, crashing into my heart and knocking its rhythm off. And just as in the dream, anger and hatred bubbled up in me, threatening to escape.

"Akachi," came the whisper again. I whipped my head to the voice and the person immediately shrank away. When my eyes had adjusted to the light, I saw that it was Hyori and she had a look of concern on her face. Another thunder rolled though the sky as we looked at each other, each trying to find a common ground in which to speak.

Hyori was the first to break the silence as she cleared her throat. "You were screaming in your sleep and the other girls were worried that Rie would kill us all for disrupting her sleep."

I looked around to see all of the other girls huddled together in their beds. I tugged at a curl and sighed. "I'm sorry," I shakily let out." Anger was still surging through my body as the dream flashed through my mind. "Dammit," I cursed, and as soon as I let it out, a sharp lighting flashed, illuminating the entire room and a sharp clap of thunder shook us to our core.

The girls collectively let out a gasp of fear and all tried to scurry to the beds away from the giant, ceiling to floor length, uncovered windows. I rolled my eyes. What's so bad about a thunderstorm? I turned to Hyori, but she was too shying away from the windows. I smirked. "Come on, it's safe, we are inside. We can't fear what's inside and outside." I guess I was just speaking to quell the hatred and anger that were raging inside of me. My heart skipped a beat as his face danced across my memories and once again, a lightening bolt struck too close for comfort even for me. Soon after, a thunder clapped boomed as if it were in the room with us. The girls all screamed out of reflex to the fright. I turned to face the window and stared, as there was a lack of the sound of rain to accompany the sound of the thunder and the flash of the lightening. In fact, I was staring into a sky littered with stars and a clear, full moon. There was one cloud in sight, and it was just there, unmoving.

I stared at that cloud and studied it. That was weird? Was this a justsu to keep us here. However, before I dove further into my thoughts, that stupid dream ran through my thoughts again, causing my chest to tighten and my heart to skip yet another beat, and just as my heart had skipped that beat, a bolt of lightening struck... right in front of me. The window could do nothing as the thin fingers of the lightening crawled its way to me. I expected to feel the sting of the hot bolt, but I only felt a surge of power. Then, as if someone had flipped a switch, my vision went blurry and I fell to my knees. I blinked to clear my eyes and turned a bit to see the situation unfolding behind me. By this time, the deafening roar of thunder which had accompanied by the lightening had ricocheted throughout the room, breaking the mirrors and shaking the room so badly that things fell off the tables and beds, and a few girls had stumbled and fallen. The girls were all in an uproar by now, some crying in fright by me getting struck, others chattering with the girl besides them, and Hyori and Mizumi were watching me with widened eyes.

Suddenly, the door flew open and everyone went silent. Rie had stormed into the room with a katana in hand ready to make heads roll. "Why are you all screaming?" she demanded. "It's just a small thunderstorm."

Everything was silent save for the rolling of thunder that accompanied the flash of lightning which was so in sync with the skipped beats of my heart.

Rie rubbed her forehead, "Why are you crying?"

One of the girls pointed to me with a shaky finger. Rie followed the finger and her eyes laded on me, who was still on the floor surrounded by the burn marks left by the lightning. Rie gasped. "BEST FRIEND!" she screamed as she ran to me. Immediately her cold, long fingers were wrapped around my shoulders to pull me up.

I shrugged them off of me, "Don't touch me," I spat as by now, the tree of hatred had already taken root.

Rie's eyes shifted from being filed with concern to being filled with anger. "Best friend, is that how you should speak to me? The one who will clothe and feed you? To the one who named you? Who called you her best friend? You will be my accessory to use."

At the word 'use', my heart began to beat rapidly, and my blood ran hot under my skin as I begin to relive the dream again in my head. Only Itachi has the right to use me now. "Kiss the deep seat of my panties." I seethed as I shot up and pushed her away from me. She skidded back and readied her katana. "No one can force me to give myself up to them," proclaimed as I got ready to fight. By now, the lighting and thunder were flashing and clapping throughout the room.

"I will kill you!" shouted Rie as she dashed at me. I skillfully dodged as Itachi had taught me. She grunted in frustration and swung the katana at me. I ducked and dodged to the left as she brought it down again.

Shooting up, I dodged backwards as she slashed at me left and right.

Anger lit up in her eyes as she panted. "If I can't use you, die!"

I clenched my fists and seethed, "Only Uchiha Itachi can use me, everyone else can go to hell." Like last time, a bolt of lightning found its way to me, and instead of striking next to me, it struck me. Suddenly, I felt so much power coursing through my body, that I was thrown back. I landed on one of the beds and grimaced.

"I knew it," whispered Rie as she lowered the weapon. "You are the one."

Before I could have asked what was going on, the glass shattered and the red clouds of an Akatsuki cloak made itself known. "I've come for what is mine."

My breath caught in my throat. He came for me. Itachi came for me. In a matter of seconds, I was in his arms and Rie was on the floor screaming for mercy. I looked up and into Itachi's face. His mangekyou sharingan shone brightly as he tortured Rie. "Where is your friend?" he asked. I pointed to Hiyori. "Let's go." And with that, we were free.
