Chapter 74

I do not own pic!

"Alright now sweetheart, you need to take a rest but...[name]? Would you come with me tomorrow? I will go check on the kids in the hospital, you haven't been there for a while, they would be so happy to see you, and maybe you can help heal them", lady Noriko said as the two of you finished cleaning the dishes after dinner.
"Of course! That would be amazing! I really want to do something like this while I'm here", you said with a smile and a nod as she chuckled then wished you a goodnight then she left to her room.
It's been a while...nothing feels better than being at home...

You headed upstairs to your room and entered it, locking the door as usual. You turned off the lights and opened the window, then you sat on the bed and waited for him, time passes, minute after minute...you were leaning against the headboard watching as the gentle breeze playing with the curtains, then you then dozed off...
"[name]?", you slowly opened your eyes at his voice, finally he came, Itachi closed the window and put on the curtains and switched the bedside light on then sat beside you.

"Itachi...sorry I have fallen asleep...", you said with a smile, sitting up correctly in your place.
"It's okay, you seem tired though, [name]", he said, holding your hand in his, his hand was so soft and warm...
"No no, I slept since I was just waiting and not doing anything, but since you're here now...I'm all up!", you muttered in an excited voice with a smile as he just watched you, remembering those times he was rude to you and cruel when he was taking you to the Akatsuki...no [name], no one should ruin you, not even him, for any reason, you represent the pretty side of the Uchiha, the bright and lovely one...

"Why are you looking at me like that?", you said with a giggle, noticing that his eyes has been fixed on yours, as his lips slightly parted...
"You're pretty, [name]...so pretty", he murmured, still with that face expression on his face.
"And you're handsome, Itachi", you muttered with a grin, looking into his eyes as he slightly blushed and smiled, he knows it, but it sounded different coming for you.
"[name]...I guess we should get to sleep now", he said quietly as you looked at him, of course he will change the subject...

"No, it's still early...besides, I need to check on you", you said, standing up and walking to the closet, taking out his kimono and giving it back to him.
"Wear this and wait for me, I will be right back", you said with a smile, as he took it from you and nodded, then walked to the bathroom to change into it, as you left downstairs to get your tools from your work room.

"Alright, just sit on the bed and take off the upper part of your kimono", you said putting on your stethoscope on and placing its diaphragm on the skin above his heart, after he took off the top of his kimono revealing a muscular chest and abdomen...his heart beats regularly, actually it was beating a bit fast, is it because of your touch? Well...his heart wasn't the only one beating fast though after all...
"Now I will check your breathing...", you moved from your place and sat behind him, then placed the diaphragm of the stethoscope on his back and asked him to take deep breaths as he did as you told him, good, he breaths right but...

"[name]? What are you doing?", he asked as you placed your glowing hands on his back and closed your eyes for more concentration...yes, that's the spot...
He closed his eyes as well trying to remain calm, you have no idea how hard it's for him to hold back as you are doing this, you are making it even more difficult for him to keep his cool, but...why doesn't he just...let it out? Why to hold back?
You wouldn't mind...

"How do you feel now, Itachi?", you asked him, hearing him sigh, he wasn't even aware of the pain in the spot you healed, it was still minimal...
"Better...", he said, as your hands moved down to his sides checking his kidneys as well as his lower back.
You moved back to your chair and continued to check and heal him, several spots on his abs and chest needed to be healed, it wasn't dangerous but still it was better than leaving them like that, and also, that's what you should do in return for his help training you.

"Now everything is fine, you can put your clothes back on", you said with a gentle smile as he put on the top of his kimono back on.
"was there something serious, [name]?", he asked, trying to get rid of the visible blush on his face, of course, your touch doesn't feel the same as before, now it has another effect on him...
"Just some spots that needed to be taken care of, now you're fine, Itachi", you smiled, looking at his toned chest and abs...now it was you who started to blush...

"Itachi, what about your eyes? Do you still feel them okay?", you asked as he nodded looking at you then said:"perfect [name], thank you".
You smiled and bowed your head, then you stood up and walked to your closet, getting the futon out of it and spreading it on the floor along with your bedding, as he watched with a smile, he wished there will never come a day when he has to leave you...he want to be with you forever...
"Bed is ready!", you said with a little smile, taking your pillow from your bed and putting it on the futon, as Itachi joined you.

"[name], what happened with lady Noriko?", he asked as the two of you laid down facing each other as usual, his question reminded you of what you have told her, you better not tell him about that!
"She was still worried and mad at first but I explained to her everything and now she is okay", you said with an eye-closed smile.
"Good, [name] tomorrow I will leave at morning, I have something to do", he said.
"Really? Oh speaking of that, how was your day? What did you do?", you asked curiously..
"I was just taking a look around the village...", he said with a smile.
"Okay, how did you find it?", you asked, even though you were sure of his answer, your village is so pretty after all.
"Sweet and calm...best place for someone to settle down...", he murmured, looking into your eyes as you smiled.
"You can settle down here", you suggested with a bright smile as he nodded and smiled, but didn't say anything in reply.

"Itachi...I wanna ask you something", you said after a while of silence, as he looked at you nodding for you to continue.
"Tell me everything about the Uchiha clan, I learnt from the books back in Konoha, and lady Noriko told me a bit about my parents, but I feel like there is a huge part of its history that it's hidden, and only an Uchiha can tell me...so would you please tell me, what happened from the beginning until...the downfall of the clan?", he stayed silent for a while, is this okay? To tell you about the bloody history of the clan...but it's still your clan as well...it is better for you to know everything, even the darkest side of it...after all, you're the last pure-blooded Uchiha girl left.

"[name], are you sure that's what you want to know? Because...the Uchiha doesn't mean just power and greatness, it also means...a long history of pain, hatred, and darkness...", he said, as you nodded, there is no backing away now...
"Yes and also...I wanna know how can I awake the Sharingan", you can tell his face expression had changed at this, how bad it could be? What's the sacrifice you need to make?...
