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

Chapter 104

I do not own pic!

The old lady had left the house leaving you alone, you headed to the workspace in the back of the house where you used to form medicines and check on patients, you opened the closet then opened a locked box hidden under so many books and stuff, and took out that small bottle containing the elixir you once obtained from that very old legendary tree when you first went on a that mission with Itachi and Kisame.
You still couldn't figure out whether the third bottle has been stolen from you when you were healing Deidara, or it just had fallen from you, but it doesn't matter for now.
You looked at the liquid inside the bottle, this can make a miracle happen when used properly and just in its raw form, but what if you add something to it? What if you use your medical knowledge and ninjutsu to improve it? The results would be immense...
If you're gonna do anything, you will do it here at home, away from the eyes of the others, especially the Akatsuki, you don't want to lose it again, and most importantly, you don't want anyone to know about it, except Itachi and lady Noriko.

It was later at day when you and lady Noriko headed to your new house, it was a sunny day, it looked very beautiful, and now you are even more sure, this is the house you have seen in your dream.
"I don't know how Itachi thought about this, but I have to say, he has a very good taste, it is also away from the centre of the village, you will spending quite times here", she said as you two finished a round inside the house, and opened the reception room's shoji door that over looks the garden.
"Yes, but we still need furniture, it's almost empty", you said looking around you.
"Yes, but take it easy, you can do that together step by step", she said with a smile as you nodded and left to the garden outside.
"It's not small nor too big, and also it has this beautiful garden surrounding it, I think it will be perfect to raise the children", you blushed at the mention of children, having that sweet feeling in your stomach thinking about it, yours and Itachi's kids, it would be so sweet.
"Yes, I guess so", you replied with a shy nod as she chuckled and gently patted your head then said: "but you will have a hard time to keep the house clean from the mud, you need to teach them the importance of keeping the house clean ever since they are little", she added as you giggled, well that's a bit advanced stage lady Noriko is talking about now.
"I will manage things...", you said with a smile, you two chatted some more before heading back home.

It was time to head back to the hideout, you were standing with Itachi at the door about leave, Noriko had congratulated you again, both you and Itachi and wished the best for you, and of course asked Itachi to keep you safe as she always do, as you then left the village.

You arrived to the hideout, after taking a short break you have been called for a quick gathering, there was everyone except Hidan and Kakuzu who seemed to be already on a mission, the leader Pain spoke about some circumstances, and most importantly, he pointed out that ever since [name] had joined, the organization had become stronger, the members don't take much to heal and get back to missions, and even during battles, the pills and medicines she prepares have great effect on the members, the Akatsuki is now getting more and more feared by the others.
Itachi was holding your hand in his all the time, and of course they noticed the ring on your finger, and so they knew what happened...
After the meeting was over, Itachi and Kisame has been called by Pain to follow him to a certain room to give them more details about their next mission, while everyone else departed into a different path.

You remained in the meeting place waiting for Itachi to come back again, you heard some footsteps behind you, you turned around to see the man with the orange mask standing there...
It was just you and him, and looking at the hole in his mask, you can clearly see the redness...a sharingan...
Was this a surprise to you? No, Itachi had already told about him, and told you to be careful and not get fooled by his childish acting around others, he is...

"I'm Madara Uchiha..."

Another Uchiha...you, Itachi, Sasuke, and this one...
"What do you want?", you asked calmly, totally on your guard as he stood at a distance away from you, he observed you for a while, more precisely, looked at the ring on your finger...so...
"[name], let me give you this advice...", the masked man referring to himself as Madara told you....
You stood in your spot, waiting for what he's going to say next, this man is aware of everything in a strange way, and it's very probable that he's gonna talk to you about... Itachi.

"you better keep a distance between the two of you, he shows you the nice side of him, but remember, that's how he used to be before he slaughtered his whole clan in a single night..."

These words sent shivers down your spine, you knew he's right, because that's what you have learnt from your research on Itachi.

"What do you mean exactly? "
You said coldly, trying to hide the nervousness that was consuming you.
"Itachi is ready to do anything...kill anybody...even you [name] if he thinks that you make a threat to Sasuke or the Uchiha, [name], he will...show you no mercy"
With this said, he disappeared...
You felt your legs getting weaker as you leaned against a nearby wall, you knew he's right...even though you felt his...'love' to you, but deep inside...you know this isn't something strong enough to stop him if he ever wanted to...
