I do not own pic!

It was almost dawn when you felt a slight move beside you, you opened your eyes quickly, thinking that it would be Itachi leaving without letting you know like the last time.
"Itachi, you're leaving already?", you asked in a sleepy voice, as the Uchiha was about to get up, making him stop and turn toward you, smile then whisper:"yes, sorry for waking you up [name]".
"no, you should have woke me up, I want to see you before you go", you said with an eye-closed smile, fixing your clothes.
"Well then [name], I have to leave now", he said, standing up as you did the same. You got him his cloak and clothes as he then went to the bathroom to change and wash his face, then walked out, giving you his kimono and obi as you have requested last night, which you put in the closet along with his fan and mask.

"Alright, but you can't go on an empty stomach", you said, closing the closet as he smiled.
"[name], I will grab something on my way, don't worry, I'm not a child", he said, walking up to you and placing his hand on your cheek, stop worrying, he can see it in your eyes.
"If I don't worry and care about you, then who will?", you said, placing your hand onto his, his smile soon turned into a straight line, as you looked at him seriously, he have to understand that you care of him because you do love him.
You were soon pulled into a hug by him, "I'm taking care of myself, don't worry, and I appreciate your concern [name]", he whispered softly to you as you nodded while hugging him back, feeling his lips brush against you hair as he gave your head a short sweet kiss.
"Still, you can't leave like this, I will be right back", you said, pulling back and heading to the door, unlocking it and heading out, before getting back with a small paper bag in your hands.
"here, just some sweets for you", sweets are the best choice to have some energy, and they are his favorites.
"[name]?", he blinked as you put the bag in his hands without saying anything, you just smiled and opened it, taking one of those pretty colorful traditional sweets out then putting it in bis mouth as he blushed slightly, chewing on it slowly, so sweet and flavoured...
"Now you are ready to go", you muttered with a little giggle, seeing that the daylight had started to break through the darkness, as he nodded and smiled, then gently put a kiss on your cheek.
"I will see you again, take care of yourself", he whispered looking down at your eyes, now he knows, he himself can't stay away from you for a long while, he longs for you, he needs you.
"Alright, I'll see you", you smiled at him, and with that he left quickly, as you laid down on the bedding thinking more about the two of you.

The Uchiha headed to his meeting point with Kisame, they don't have a mission yet, but as Kisame told him, they are all, ten members invited for an exceptional meeting by the leader.
"Do you know what this is about Kisame?", the Uchiha asked his partner, as they neared one of their hideouts hidden in a thick forest.
"They didn't tell us directly, but from what Zetsu told me, it could be about a new member", Kisame said with a grin, a new member means more fun.
"A new member? Aren't ten members enough?", Itachi said with that emotionless look on his face, while letting his hand dangling out of his opened upper cloak, having ten of the most dangerous criminals is enough, they are already set up in groups of two, what is gonna be the purpose of bringing a new member? He should wait and see.

They are all there, in a dark cave lightened up with torches, the members formed a circle around a torch that was in the center, waiting for their leader to start speaking.
"We are all gathered here to discuss something, our missions are getting tougher, and sometimes our members gets badly injured or we even lose them sometimes, and to recompense their loss, is not something easy", the ginger haired man said as the others listened, so what?
"There are not much ninjas out who are worthy to join us, still we decided to bring a new member, who will be a great addition to our organization", the blue haired woman, Konan, said explaining more about the reason behind the meeting, Kisame was right, there is gonna be a new member.
"Instead of losing members and looking for others to fill their positions, we decided to bring a medical reinforcement", at this has been said by their leader Pain, Itachi was hoping it's not gonna be who he is thinking of already...
"[name][last name], will be our new member", the leader said, revealing the identity of their new target.

What is Itachi gonna do now? It seems his plans for you two are gonna be crushed...the Akatsuki aren't looking for you as an Uchiha but still your great medical skills caught their attention, so, what will be the solution?
