Chapter 49

I do not own pic!

You have been in your village just doing some shopping, it's been more than a week since you've last seen Itachi, you wished you'd see him soon, especially that one of the most beautiful and popular festivals in your village will be held soon, a festival where you can play games, eat various types of food, watch fireworks...and do a lot of things together!
You wanted him to come, enjoy his time and spend some time away from pressure and stress, but also, you wanted to just pass some time together with him.

You were back home, you were in your room studying more and reviewing the things you have studied with Itachi, his tips were great help for you, he tried to explain things to you in the easiest way he can, even though you still should do some practice.
"[name], time for dinner", you stretched your arms hearing Noriko's voice, getting up from your desk and heading downstairs.
After finishing dinner and doing the dishes, you went back to your room, you sat back at the desk to finish what you were doing when you spotted a piece of paper on top of the one you have been reading.

"[name], meet me tomorrow at noon if possible at the usual place, Itachi", you smiled, it is from him again, he never says much, just heads straight to the point, he makes you even more eager to see him.
You looked at your side at your window to see a crow there, that same crow Itachi sent the previous time. You took a small sheet of paper and wrote something on it: 'I will see you', you rolled it up then got up and walked to the crow and you tied it up to his leg using a silky thread, not too tight in order not to hurt hi, you patted his head gently as it seemed to have gotten familiar with you, after a few moments, he flight again in the darkness of the night, heading back to his master.

Itachi was in that same village you went to during your mission to get the medicine for Deidara, he chose that village since it was somehow closer to your own village. He was sitting on the rooftop of the inn he was staying in, when the crow got back and landed on his arm, he noticed the small piece of paper tied to his leg, he smiled slightly, untying the thread and taking the paper in his hand reading the words on it, he can already smell [name]'s sweet scent coming from it, a smell that have a calming and relaxing effect on him. Itachi gave the crow a signal to leave since it was night, as then the crow flight away, Itachi smiled reading again those few words on the paper.

Next day, you have been sitting under the usual tree with him, just enjoying the view of the wide lake in front of you after you had some lunch together.

He was as calm as always, he leaned back against the tree trunk, leaving the upper buttons of his cloak opened while you leaned against his shoulder, wearing a dark blue kimono adorned with white lilies patternes, with a yellow obi around your waist as your hair was down.
"[name]? Do you always wear kimonos?", he asked, looking down at you next to him, he had noticed this ever since you two have met, he had never seen you wearing something else, at least until now, and truth to be told, he liked them on you.
"Yeah, I love them, they are pretty and makes me comfortable, since they are less revealing", you said with a smile, passing your hand on your kimono's fabric feeling its softness.
"Less revealing? You feel shy about it?", he said with a smirk, as you giggled, looked at him then said:"not really shy, I just want to have some privacy when it comes to my body", you replied as he nodded, blushing slightly as he remembered when the wind lifted your kimono up durning your sleep in the big tree's location, revealing your thighs...maybe he shouldn't tell you about it.

"By the way Itachi, I told lady Noriko about what happened", you said after a moment of silence.
"So?", he replied calmly.
"She said you are welcome to our house, anytime, it's open for you", you added with a smile making him smile back at you as he passed a hand through your hair.
"That's good, still if I ever came again, I will sneak in your room the same way I did last time", he said making your face heats up, as you felt your heart beating fast.
"[name]...", you looked up at him, still blushing slightly .
"Thank you, for everything", he muttered, looking directly in your eyes, you can clearly see how much appreciation was in them.

"You're welcome, always", you replied with a nod and a smile, leaning again against his shoulder while holding his hand, as he wrapped an arm around you, and pulled you closer to him.

He knew he had already lost to you. Before...he tried many times to push away these feelings and thoughts and put limits between you two and forget about you, but everytime he makes a decision that he will not see you again, he just ended up meeting you again, with more eagerness and longing...
