The Hero in the Demon (ILYBD Sequel)

A Night with Itachi

Chapter 8

Itachi gently carried Yuna back through the hideout. She'd changed back to her more humanoid form, after falling asleep next to him. The nine tailed crimsonette was cuddled up in Leader's cloak, though her face was pressed against the Uchiha's chest.

“Why were you in her room, Hidan?” Itachi asked, noticing the jashin was following him.

“That's none of your fucking business!” He yelled only to be shushed.

“It is when you endanger everyone here.” The raven challenged.

“I was just fucking testing some shit.” The silver haired man grumbled, crossing his arms.

“Be more careful with what you do. If she changes inside we'll be buried alive.”

Hidan frowned, looking at the sleeping demon. Her tails were curled around Itachi's hips, her hands clutching at what was left of the smaller man's shirt.

“Why do you get to fucking hold her?”

Itachi smirked a little, looking at the immortal man. “Need I remind you, she is my teammate?” He said, enjoying the frustrated look on the jashin's face as he tried to come up with a retort.

“Don't go getting jealous, Hidan.” The Uchiha teased, bringing the kyuubi to her room.

The raven smiled softly as he closed the door with his foot, taking great care in bringing Yuna to her bed without waking her. He was just placing her down on the mattress, when he noticed she still had a death grip on his sad excuse for a shirt, and her tails clung to his hips.

He groaned, picking her back up. The Uchiha sighed, sitting down on the bed with Yuna in his lap. “Troublesome kyuubi..” He mumbled, looking down at her.

She was purring quietly, her head now rested against his shoulder. Her right ear was drooped, giving her a cute look. The kitsune's tails had loosened slightly, some just swaying on the mattress, but at least three of the nine still held him.

Itachi let out a sigh, hoping that she might loosen her grip if he sat there long enough. Unfortunately for him, this was not the case. Yuna had woken up when he'd tried to place her down, not that he'd noticed, she didn't want him to leave her alone. That's what Ibiki had done and she'd been attacked.

Now she was worried Hidan would come in if the Uchiha left, and she wouldn't be able to get away from him. The jashin was immortal and knew her weakness.

After around two hours of sitting there and doing nothing, Itachi finally caved. He gently shook the kyuubi, awakening her from a fake slumber. “Yuna, let go, I have to go back to my own room.”

She frowned, shaking her head as she buried it in his shoulder. “This part of Kyuubi doesn't want you to go.” She mumbled, her tails all returning to his waist.

“Why not?” The Uchiha asked, not even trying to get her to release him.

“If you leave, he'll come back...” She said quietly.

Itachi arched a brow, this was the first time he'd ever seen the kyuubi show these emotions. Scared and vulnerable. Somehow he found himself petting the back of her head and slowly rocking her back and forth.

“I guess I can stay..... But can we change to a more comfortable position?” He asked, his legs almost numb from sitting with the demon for so long.

Yuna stifled a small laugh, nodding her head. Her emotions changing on the spot. Her tails releasing the raven. She released his shirt, getting off his lap and letting him straighten his legs.
