Chapter 72

I do not own pic!

"We will be there by tomorrow's midday", Itachi said, as you two entered your room in the inn, putting your things in the closet there.
"We are close to my village!", you said with a giggle, it's been a while since you have been there, and surely lady Noriko had really missed you a lot...
"It will be three days [name], try to enjoy them as much as you can", he said sitting on the bed and watching you.
"Itachi? You will stay with me, right?", you asked looking at him, closing the closet after you finished putting your things inside.
"Do you want me to?", he questioned you, he knows you want him to be with you but he wanted to hear it from you.

"Of course!! Itachi, I will wait for you tomorrow at night like usual!", you said with a grin sitting beside him, seeing the beautiful smile on his face.
"And then, maybe I should do a checking on your health too", you added, holding his hand in yours, it's been a while since you last checked on him, which is something that concerns you a lot.
"Alright...I'd be grateful for that", he replied, slightly squeezing your hand.

"Okay Itachi, let's go have some dinner, I'm hungry!", you said with a sheepish laugh as he nodded, standing up and taking your hand and heading outside to eat, as he took a look at you, seeing how pretty you look, just as always.

"What?! That's not fair!!", Deidara said as Hidan told him what happened, it looks like even the blond had some crush on you, and telling Hidan about it, the later started laughing telling him what happened with you, and that the Uchiha freak wouldn't let him get closer as long as he is around.
"If leader gave her the chance to choose the one to train her she wouldn't pick him!", Deidara said with a pissed off look on his face, why does this Itachi gets in his way always?
"I'm sure she wouldn't pick you either...", Sasori said making Hidan burst out in laughter, and Deidara to glare at the puppet master.
"What do you mean Sasori!"
"Look at yourself in the mirror...", the puppet master said getting up and leaving the place going to somewhere else.
"He has a point!", Hidan said with a laugh, while Deidara fumed with anger...
"And what did you do mister immortal? You got your a*s beaten with a frying pan, hm!"

After spending a quite night at the inn, you and Itachi continued your walk to your village, and as he said, at noon you were just a little distance away from the gate of your village.
"Alright, I guess this is where we part ways...", he said with a smile, as you nodded, looked around the place then back at him...
"You will come at night as planned, right?", you asked, confirming what you have talked about previously, and he nodded.
"Yes, but for now I have some other things to do", he said with a small smile.
"Here? Like what?", you asked tilting your head to one side questioningly.
"Just take a look around the village...", he said calmly, placing a hand on your cheek as you nodded at him.
"Now, go and spend some good time", he said with a smile, turning you around toward your village, while you giggled as you started to walk ahead, but just a few steps you stoped and turned back, then started walking back to him.
"What is it [name]?", he asked, slightly confused.
"You forgot this", you smiled and tiptoed and kissed him.
"Thanks for the reminder", he said in a low silky voice, as you blushed then turned around and started to run happily to your village, then after a while as you got inside, he entered as well, searching for a good place to have some lunch.

"I'm coming, I'm coming!", lady Noriko said as she tried to hurry as fast as she can to the door, who's this person who's knocking the door impatiently?
"Hi my lady!", you said as the door opened with a grin, as she narrowed her eyes from the sunlight.
"Oh sweetheart, it's just you, come-WAIT!!! [NAME]??!!", she screamed out loud surprised as you giggled and hugged her, as then the two of you entered the house.

Itachi had put on his straw hat and started to explored the village, it's nice and calm, reminds him of his own home village...
He walked more further through the clean streets of the village as people were minding their business, until he reached the farthest side of the village, the alsmot empty place where you and him went to during that festival.
He looked around, a forest is dodging the farthest edge of the village, this place is just a grassy area with few houses or buildings scattered around...but there is one single isolated house in here, and it seems their owners had put it for sale...
