Itachi Uchiha AU Fanfiction

Chapter 4

"Ohaiyo Sensei!" you perked entering the class. " You took a seat, waiting for the silver haired male to start the class. "Ohaiyo. You seem to be in a very good mood and you're early. " when you looked around the absence of students caught your eyes. "O-Oh." he laughed. "That's okay, maybe there is something you want me to go through before the rest of the class gets here. " you nodded. "Y-Yes sir there was a sum I did last night that really irked me. " he moved over looking into your book. "Let's see it." He pulled up a chair, looking at the work you did and guiding on where you went wrong. "It's a lot easier when I know what I'm doing." you spoke.

You still struggled a little, but with the way he laid it out on the paper, you felt like you could solve it on your own. You felt a bit guilty now for always causing and scene skipping his classes. You looked up with an apologetic smile. "Gomen, I wish I 'd been more patient in your classes. " he shook his head. "It's quite alright. I know what its like to get frustrated over work. Believe it or not I myself used to be terrible at math." your eyes widened. "Really?" he smiled.

"Yes, horrible at it. I also had a hard time getting along with the other students, so I didn't have anyone to help me get through it. "

"So how did you get good at it?" His eyes looked a bit nostalgic. "There was this one guy who refused to leave me alone. He insisted on meddling in my life. " You blinked. "Hah! That's like me and Itachi-sensei." you thought wistfully. "He wanted to help, eventually I let down my front and accepted his help. It was because of him I was able to ace math. And eventually making friends became easier.

"That's a really nice story. Are you still friends with him?" you questioned. Kakashi chuckled.

"As a matter of fact I-"

KAKASHI!!!" a voice yelled through the halls. The door slid open and Gai rushed in. Kakashi sighed. "I am." he finished. You looked at the both of them, head moving from one to the other.

Kakashi was sure you'd put two and two together. You smiled. "That's awesome. I hope I meet him one day." Kakashi blanked. "Is she...really that stupid!!" He held back the laugh that threatened to spill. Kakashi's eyes lifted when someone else was now standing at the door.

"Please stop being so loud in the morning." Itachi said calmly. His eyes looked down at you, then drifted to Kakashi who was sitting quite close to you. He wanted to say something but stopped himself. He gave you a look before walking off. You sat there puzzled at the weird expression on Itachi's face. Kakashi however was intrigued. "I could be wrong but he looked almost...irritated.." His eyes trailed back to you. "Could it be that he.." Kakashi smirked. It seems he found something to finally get his collegue to show his emotions more clearly.

"Are you usually that friendly with Hatake." you blinked, brows scrunched up adorably.

"Kakashi-sensei? Not really. Lately though it's easier to talk to my teachers. I guess it's because I'm not causing as much trouble. " You went back to your work but Itachi couldn't help the tinge of jealousy. He didn't like other men being so close with you. He wanted to be the only one.

"W-What the hell am I thinking.." His eyes moved back to your petite form. 

"Even if I was interested, she's way too dense. If I made a move on her she'd just assume it was something normal."  You were nibbling on the edge of your pencil, apparently stuck on a problem.

Your eyes lit up after a second as you continued to scribble. "By the way, I was wondering. Do any of the other students know about your eyes?" The question was completely out of the blue. He answered anyway. 

"Just Sakura, because my brother has the same problem, but no one else. " Your face brightened. "So I'm the only one!" you fist pumped, going back to your work. You weren't sure why by the fact that he hadn't told anyone else made you feel somewhat special. Like you were the only one he trusted with such a thing. You stopped working for a second and Itachi studied you. 

"Is there something wrong? You need help on this one?" You shook your head, turning to face him. Itachi wasn't familiar with the look you directed at him. Your eyes were searching his.

"They really are beautiful.." you whispered out. You weren't sure why but you just felt like looking at him at that moment. You were the first person aside from his family who admired his eyes. 

Back when he was in high school he had such a hard time making friends because of these eyes. When he was younger they seemed to be nothing but a curse. They scared everyone, he lost count how many times he wished they weren't there when he was a kid. But right now..he thanked god for these unusual eyes. The way you looked at him, like a precious jewel, or an expensive diamond. He loved it. He wanted you to always look his way, not at anyone else, just him. You were the first to look away, muttering an apology. He placed his chin into his palm, watching as you nervously got back to your work. 

"Maybe she isn't as oblivious as she seems."
