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

Chapter 96

I do not own pic!

Itachi has been back with a some food, consisting essentially of fruits and some yogurt, even though you were trying not to eat but he managed to make you do it somehow.

After you ate and making sure your stomach wasn't upset, you laid down in your place to rest more. Itachi pulled the second futon next to yours and laid beside you as you smiled and moved closer to him then slept again, this time feeling much better as you relaxed. He kept a watchful eye over you, his hand was tangled in your hair as his fingers brushed through it gently, while he kept those lights near your heads on the while night.

It's been three days, you feel much better now, even though you're still not gonna be the same as before, especially towards Hidan. It was time to head back to the hideout and see if there are anything new that will be decided about you.
You headed back to the hideout with Itachi, arriving there at night time after a day of travelling, nothing seemed different, it was quite as usual.
"You stay here, I will go prepare us something to eat", Itachi said after a while once you two rested a bit, you then stood up and said: "no, meanwhile I will go prepare some pills and medicines, I will not feel bored and it won't take me long anyway".

It's been a while when Konan had shown a room where you can work and prepare your remedies, though you haven't been using it a lot since you have been occupied with training with Itachi.
"Alright then, if there is anything, just call me, okay?", Itachi said, placing his hands on your shoulders looking into your eyes, pretty.

You nodded as you two exited the bedroom, he took the lath leading to the kitchen while you headed to your workspace and started working. There were some herbs you have collected a while ago when you used to go out with Itachi, some other stuff has been already there, brought by the organization itself to help you make your medicines.
You were busy when you heard a knock on the door, you hesitated for a while to open but then decided to do it anyway, what could happen?

"Kisame?!", you said surprised by his presence,but hally to see him, it seems it's not just you and Itachi here.

"Hi [name], it's been a while, I asked Itachi about you and he said you would be here", Kisame said peeking behind you, notcing that you have been working. Itachi told him? you smiled as you moved out of the way letting him in, for some reason, Kisame doesn't creep you out or make you feel uncomfortable, he seems very respectful and easy to deal with, to you, he was a friend now.

"Is there anything I can help you with, Kisame?", you asked him as you resumed making the rest of the pills, of course you though that maybe he needs some medical attention after his last mission.
"Not really, I just wanted to see you, so what are you doing [name]?", Kisame asked sitting on a chair nearby watching you.
"Making pills, they will boost your energy when you're worn out during battle", you said with a smirk, holding a tiny one between your fingers showing it to him.
"Interesting...might as well take some with me for the next missions", he said grinning as you nodded.
"Good thing you're here, I wanted someone to taste the flavor though...", you said taking a certain pill and holding it for him to take.
"What? Now?!", he exclaimed as you nodded, already shoving it in his hand.
"Now Kisame, and don't worry, that one has no effect, just to taste the flavor", you said with some impatience as you then smiled noticing him shrug and putting in his mouth.

"So?", you asked tilting your head questioningly waiting for what he will say.
"You better hide them, [name]", Kisame said as you frowned, is it that bad?
"What's wrong with it? Please tell me", you asked confused, it was supposed to be all sweet and fruity flavored, did you made a mistake? Or it is just that Kisame doesn't like these flavors?
"[name], they are so good, the others will eat them without being really in need and that may cause troubles, they are better than sweets", he said with a chuckle as you sighed in relief, then laughed as well.
"Well, I don't really like the idea that most of the medince does have a bitter taste, I like to change this with the things I make, especially since I have been working with kids for a while", you said as you started to put the pills into separated containers.
"Itachi will surely like these, [name]", Kisame said with a chuckle, knowing how fond of sweets his partner is.

"Alright, we are done, take these now, in case you needed more, just tell me", you said giving Kisame a small bottle of the pills you have just made.

"The thing is...they are kinda of small", Kisame said eyeing the pills inside the glass as you smiled and said: "yes, small, but their effect is immense, you will find out when you use them".

You talked more with Kisame while storing the things you have made for using them later and cleaning your workspace, it was so relaxing, he didn't mention anything about your Sharingan or missions or training, he was just talking about normal things such as the ninja villages or some of the members you haven't been close to such as the two artists and how they are usually in a constant quarrel, he talked in a funny way that made you laugh sometimes forgetting for a while that you're actually in a hideout that belongs to a terrorist organization.
Unknown to you, it was Itachi himself who asked Kisame to come to you and keep you company and protect you instead of letting you stay there alone, while the Uchiha went to see the leader who has been also in the hideout, to discuss with him what had happened with you, and to remind them, that you're main purpose in the organization is healing not fighting.
The Uchiha then went to kitchen as he told you previously and prepared a simple yet nice dinner, as he then headed to your healing room to call you for dinner, just as he neared the door, he heard some laughing voices from the inside, it was you of course and Kisame, did he get disappointed with this? Of course not, he smiled slightly knowing that Kisame actually succeeded in making you relax and start getting over what happened with Hidan and moving on, he gently knocked on the door as he then opened it, seeing Kisame still sitting on the chair while you leaned against a counter listening to him.
"Time for dinner, [name]", Itachi said calmly causing you to smile, you are really hungry, but before you or Kisame say anything, the Uchiha spoke again: "you too Kisame, come on", you and Kisame looked at each other as you both grinned before following the Uchiha to the kitchen, this sounds nice.

The three of you sat at the table eating, you and Kisame talked more and had some more funny talk while Itachi was quite, just listening and answering briefly in case he has been asked about something by you or by Kisame. After dinner, you left the kitchen and started heading to your room with Itachi while Kisame walked beside the two of you heading to his own room.
"Alright, thank you for the pills and for your time, [name], it was a pleasure to talk to you, and thank you Itachi for the food", he said, as you two reached your room first.
"Good night, Kisame", Itachi said calmly with a nod as he then started to unlock the room.
"Thank you Kisame, I really had fun talking to you, and good night!", you said with a smile, as the two of you then entered the room and locked the door.
