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

Chapter 64

I do not own pic!

You were back to Itachi's room after dinner, so yummy, you never thought he'd be so good at cooking that much, maybe you should ask him for cooking tips as well. You wanted to go take a shower before you sleep, when you remembered that you don't have other clothes, and even the ones you wear under your cloak, consisting of a tank top and a pair of pants, which are considerably tight, will not be comfortable for you to sleep in.
"Itachi?", he looked up at you from his place on the chair near the desk.

"Do you need something?", he asked calmly

"Can I wear some of your clothes for now until I get some for myself?", he sighed and got up then walked to the closet, how didn't he think of this before?

"Of course. Here, pick up something for you", he said opening his closet for you, not much clothes in it, but they are well organized and folded, you thanked him, picking up a black long-sleeved shirt with a pair of grey pants, then headed to the bathroom.

He changed the bedsheets and put new covers for the pillows, while you were taking your bath.
You walked out of the bathroom after a while, drying your wet hair with a towel, he was back sitting at that desk studying some scrolls. You sat on the edge of the bed still drying your hair, while he stopped reading, giving you some side looks, your silky hair looks so beautiful as it's wet, his clothes on your body...well he shouldn't think of it this way, it's not appropriate, but you do look sweet and cute after all.

You put the towel aside and laid on the bed feeling tired from training, when it hit you, you used his bed earlier to take a nap...but where will you sleep now? You can't just take his place now as well...

"Itachi...", you called, sitting up in bed when he put the scroll down and looked at you.

"Yes [name]?"

"Where will I sleep?", you asked, putting your hands on your lap.

"There, in the bed", he replied simply with a smile.

"And you?", you asked.

"I'll take care of that later, you just sleep well", he answered briefly with a nod, yet you didn't do as he told you.

"The bed is large enough for two, like the one in the inn...you can also use it", you said, fiddling with the wide shirt you were having, slightly blushing, hoping he doesn't get a wrong message.

Itachi knows you well, and he knew what you meant, it was just another kind gesture from you.

He looked at you for a while, that's your solution, you didn't suggest that he adds another bed, you just thought he can stay with you, you trust him, from all those times he spent with you.

But this time is different, it is his room and his bed, not to talk of the feelings he has for you that keeps getting stronger...

"That's okay then", he responded shortly with a nod, standing up and walking up to the bed, laying next to you watching your eyes, he will not destroy the trust you put in him, and so soon, you laid down again, feeling sleepy from tiredness.

"You did so well today in your training, [name]", he said in that silky voice of his, with a small smile ok his face.

"Really?! But I still struggle with the fourth kunai", you said with a pout, he nodded then said:"you learnt a lot in a short period of time, not everyone is capable of doing that", he said this making you smile brightly at the compliment, he notices the happiness on your face, so beautiful.

"What are we gonna do next for training?", you asked, is this gonna be more tougher? 

"After learning how to hit with four kunais at once, you will train to hit moving targets, the thing that is usually the case during fights"

"Moving targets?!", you exclaimed

"Yes, and then...you will repeat all what you have trained on again with your other hand, you will need this in case your hand got harmed or sealed"

"What? Even my other hand?! I will have to redo everything from the start?! So what's next?!", you asked, the sleepiness seemed to go away for now, you're discussing important things. 

"After you master this, hitting several targets, both still and moving with four kunais, you will learn to do the same thing, with both hands simultaneously, using 'eight' kunais at once", he said smirking, seeing the surprised look on your face.

"E-eight??!!"

"Yes [name], is that so much for you?",  he asked smirking, you shook your head no quickly and replied:"no, but...it will take me a little longer and we must have lots of patience"

"You can do it [name]", he said with a gentle smile as you nodded smiling as well.

"That's all?", you asked

"Once we get to train about ninjutsu, I will teach you how to make clone kunais and shuriken"

"Really?!", you are now kidna excited.

"Yes", he said with nod.

"But [name], I want to make one thing clear...", he added in a serious tone.

"Yes Itachi?", you nodded, not sure of what he wants to say.

"This training is not for the sake of the Akatsuki or because the leader wants you to do so, [name], you are training for yourself, to use your power to protect yourself and those who are dear to you, I might push you more further, but be sure I'm not trying to hurt you, you will not know how strong you are if you don't know your limits", you listened to him carefully and nodded, of course, that's what you think too.
"Itachi, can I ask you something?", he raised an eyebrow, what could it be?
"Yes, [name]"
"I want to see your Sharingan", you asked kindly, something he didn't seem to expect but also, didn't have a reason to refuse.

He didn't say anything, just looked at your face for a while admiring your beauty, as he then closed his eyes and opened them, red like a beautiful ruby with three coma-shaped black things in them.
"It's so beautiful", you said, a mere whisper as he just let you see his eyes as close as you want.
"Yes, but it costs too much pain, and darkness", he said, looking down at your eyes, in a sad voice.
"I know...", you muttered, you have read in your books back in konoha about these eyes, and knew that for one to awaken them, there must be a lot of mental suffering and pain, and even after getting them, using them isn't as good as it might seem.

"Enough talking about this and about training, it's not the right time for it", he said with a slightly cheerful voice, as his eyes went back to their original black color, you nodded smiling at him.
It was just the two of you, it was when Itachi shows you his soft side, his loving and caring one.
"Are you comfortable [name]?", he asked you, it's your first night in here, and he wanted to make it as calm as possible to you.

"Yes", you nodded, already closing your eyes, a little smile was on your face, his presence next to you was enough to send a feeling of safety to you, and help you fall asleep deeply.

"Goodnight then...", he muttered, pulling the blanket on you making sure you're warm, as he then put a soft on your head, hearing you wishing him a goodnight as well in a faint voice falling into slumber, as he then put his head on his pillow and turned off the lights to get some sleep as well.
