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

Chapter 57

I do not own pic!

"I'm ready", you said as you arrived to him, he eyed you deeply from head to toe, the high collar of his cloak and his straw hat prevented you from seeing his face fully, all you can see were his piercing eyes.
"Good, you're back in time", he said in his deep voice, "what will you do about this?", he asked, pointing to the basket that had been left at a distance away from you, you looked at the place he mentioned, and so you saw your basket, you felt sad, things weren't planned to be like this.
"Just leave it there, someone will find it and take it", you said turning back at him, he didn't say anything then turned around, looked at you from his shoulder then said in a stern voice:"now we will leave, follow me".

He started to walk as you followed, you two walked up to his partner who seemed kinda glad to see you again, or at least that's what you thought from that grin on his face.
"Hey [name], it's nice to see you again, hehe, even though this time is different, we are gonna see each other more form here on", he said looking down at you since he was taller than you.
You haven't said anything in response, you can't say you are happy to see him again, you don't even know what is gonna happen next to you.
"Hurry", you flinched slightly at Itachi's voice, he was talking to you in a demanding tone, apparently not pleased with the pace you have been walking with, but why is he being rude to you? he could have mentioned it gently.
You didn't reply to him as you just tried to walk faster, hurry to the unknown that waits for you.

Itachi looked at you, he knows you are afraid, startled, he can see it in your slightly trembling hands as you clutched tightly on your bag, he can see it in your steps as you aren't focused on your walk, that sometimes you trip, he can see it in your confused face, he can see it, in your pretty eyes, he can see these and more things, with the help of the medicine, that you yourself [name] had given him.
He knows you're wondering why is he doing this, why is he...harsh on you all of a sudden, why did he change completely in mere few days, he knows you are wondering why would he try to get close to you, if all he wanted was just to use you, he could have simply forced you to do what he wants from the start...

Until when you are gonna be patient [name]? Until when you will try to look strong? We will see...

"I'm tired...", you said, trying to catch your breaths, after hours of walking, it was evening, you didn't even have lunch, and you legs need rest.
"Keep walking", Itachi said, not even looking at you, even Kisame was surprised, the girl needs to rest for a while, and even they need a break!
"Itachi, we have to stop anyway", Kisame said, standing beside you as you sat on the ground panting from tiredness. You don't understand it, even if you are gonna join the Akatsuki, you deserve to be treated like a human.
"If you say so, Kisame. Ten minutes", the Uchiha said, looking around the place searching for any possible threatening.
"Ten minutes! I'm starving and very tired, at least let us have a rest like the time we went on that mission!", you said in protest, making the Uchiha look at you as he took off his hat, holding it in his hand.
"That time, [name], we were on mission, I and Kisame were meant to keep you safe and healthy until you're done, now it's not the same, our mission is to bring you to the hideout, even if we had to drag you there, it's not part of our mission to make you feel comfortable, you have to deal with this", he said coldly, while Kisame watched in silence.
"Still! It is not part of your mission to torture me! I need to be treated fairly, I didn't ask to join!", you bursted out, feeling more irritated by his words, he doesn't even care...
"Well, you had the choice to refuse coming [name]...", he said, and you can see a smirk on his face, as the evening orange light fell on his handsome face, making his dark eyes look fascinating.
"And then you'd attack us!", you replied, is he toying with you? A game of words?
"[name], if you were strong enough you could have refused and stopped me, if you had trained, maybe you could have defended yourself and imposed your opinion on us, and make us accept the fact that you don't want to join, but no, you are weak, [name], accept that", he said, in his silky voice, too calm that made you even more angry, train?! You asked him to train you and he didn't! He is the one who have seen how much you wanted to get stronger and even asked for his help, now he says this?

She is still holding her emotions back, she still doesn't want to insult him, and reveal what has been between her and him, she doesn't want Kisame to know that he has been seeing her, is this because...she doesn't want to look stupid or...she is still...trust him?...
"Itachi, you know I can't stand against you or your organization, there is no need to point out that I'm not as strong as you, after all I have been raised in a peaceful place, I wasn't meant for this", you said, sounding that you wanted to end the conversation with him.
"Well then, glad you know your abilities and limits [name], now if you're done resting, we need to get going", he said, putting his hat back on his head as he smirked again.
You didn't say more, you stood up again, and started to walk, as your stomach growled from hunger, while Kisame seemed to start getting upset about this.
