Chapter 56

I do not own pic!

One hour...

You hurried back home, your heart beating fast both from the shock and from the speed you have been running with, he seems like a total different person...what will happen to you next with that organization? If even him had now turned against you...
The Uchiha watched you from a distance, looking around he noticed your basket with some mushrooms in it, you have forgotten it from confusion, it was supposed to be a good day [name], unfortunately...

You stopped running as you entered your village, you leaned against a wall catching your breath, people didn't seem to have noticed you, they were walking by, minding their own business, could it be that...this is your last time being here?
A few tears were gonna fall from your eyes at the thought of this, you have always loved your village and the people of it, you wanted to...help Itachi settle down here and make a new home for him, you didn't expect from him to do this, especially that he did never show any sign of his new intentions the last time you have been together, which was only three days ago...
You wiped those few tears away and resumed walking back home, you have no clue what will happen from here on, but you knew you had to go back fast, or else your pretty village will be wiped out.

You quickly opened the door and entered, hearing some sounds in the kitchen you knew lady Noriko was there preparing lunch, lady Noriko...she had already warned you about Itachi and that organization, saying that even though he has been pushed to kill his clan, joining the Akatsuki was his own choice, she only accepted him because you told her he is good, and because how foolishly you fell for him, what are you gonna tell her now? What is gonna be your justification for what happened now?

"you're back early [name], haven't you find any mushrooms?", she said with a chuckle, covering the cooking pot as she put it on the stove, cooking lunch.
"My lady...", you said in a trembling voice, still standing at the doorfram of the kitchen, not sure what to say.
"[name]? What's the matter? You look so pale, are you sick sweetheart?", she asked with a frown, walking to you and placing her hands on your face, looking into your eyes seeing some tears in them.
"M'lady...I'm leaving...", you said with a cracking voice, as you placed your hands on hers, shaking slightly.
"Where? Why? [name], what happened to you?", she asked, more confused and worried about your behavior, as you couldn't say anything in response, what to say anyway?
"I don't know when will I be back...or if I will even be back but...my lady...", you said, getting yourself together and trying to look composed, and strong...
"[name]...", she muttered, looking into your worried eyes.
"Don't tell anyone about this...tell whoever asks about me, that have gone again on a trip to learn more, please, my lady", you said, as she just looked at you confused.
"[name], please explain to me what's going on?", she asked, getting no answer from you, as she thought of him, "does it have anything to do with Itachi? Is he forcing you to go somewhere?!", she asked, with some anger in her voice, she shouldn't have trusted him! Is that what he does to pay you for what you did for him?
"My lady...it's about that organization, he is here to take me...I don't know if he is the one who suggested on them to bring me or if has anything to do with it, but...I have no choice, if I don't go they will attack us and destroy our village in no time", you replied, as she gasped loudly, she was just about to say something, when you spoke again:"I will be fine, don't worry...but promise me not to tell anybody".
She nodded, still unable to believe this, he can't...just appears out of nowhere and take you away suddenly...

You didn't say much, you don't have more time to talk to her, you headed upstairs to your room and closed the door, you grabbed your bag and started to put your most important things in it, then walked to your closet to look for something to change in when you found them there, his clothes and things.
Why did he do this? If he just let you think of him the way everyone else does, it would be easier for you to accept his actions now, you would have just gave up to your destiny, you could have made your precautions, but he...he just made you feel safe...trust him, and then he showed a 'side'of his true self.
No [name], you can't play the victim now, you also had thrown yourself at him without thinking, he never forced you to get attached to him, he...he just...kissed you that night under the tree, he didn't force you but you didn't deny him as well, and ever since then, you couldn't get him out of your mind...
You sighed, shutting your closet back deciding to stay in your current kimono, you looked around at your room, maybe you will not have a chance to see it again, at least not before a long time...

You grabbed your bag and was about to head downstairs and leave, when you noticed a crow on the branch of the tree next to your window looking at you, of course...he is watching you [name], there is no escape...
You headed outside of your house, leaving the old lady there in a shocked state as her last attempts to make you stay failed, they are gonna get you one way or another so way the trouble?
You headed outside the village exiting the gate, and walked back to the edge of the forest, where you could see a shape of a man wearing black cloak with red clouds and a straw hat, Itachi.
