I took a deep breath before finally knocked the door. 

"Itachi?"

Itachi opened the door, stared at me. His hand covered his mouth. "Sorry, am I bothering you?" he asked.

I quickly shook my head. "No! Not at all!"

"Then, what do you want?"

"Uh... Are you okay?"

"Your question is always the same" he coughed. "I'm used to it, don't worry too much about me"

"Let me help you". Itachi opened his mouth, I was sure he would refuse. Before he could say anything, I cut him off. "Please, Itachi. I'm Akatsuki's medic"

Itachi sighed and opened the door wider, letting me in.

He sat on his bed and told me to sit next to him. I put my hand on his chest and started to heal him.

"You don't have to feel obligated to take care of me" Itachi said.

"I don't feel obligated"

We sat there in awkward silence. "I'm sorry" I started, breaking the silence. Itachi gave me a questioning look.

"About earlier..." I said quitely.

"Don't apologize if you didn't do anything wrong"

"I didn't mean to remind you of what happened to... I'm sorry!" Smart. Smart, (Y/N).

"It doesn't affect me anymore. I have no feeling now" His voice sounded tired and plain.

"You're human, of course you have feelings" I replied.

Itachi closed his eyes. "I'm a monster"

"You're not"

"You don't know anything about me" Itachi blurted.

"You're right, I don't know anything about you" I nodded. "But I believe you have your own reason. You must be hurt too"

Itachi opened his eyes and our gazes met. His eyes say it all. I can see he is carrying all the burdens alone. I don't know why but my heart throbbed in pain.

Itachi grabbed my wrist. "Enough. I feel better now". I let of as soon as the electricity of his touch rushed all through me.

"...Okay. I'll go back to my room, then" I got up and walked towards the door.

"(Y/N)" I stopped and turned my head. "Thank you" Itachi continued.

I smiled at him, closed the door and returned to my room.

The next morning, I walked towards the room where the members gathered. A room with some old sofas and a large table in the middle. I opened the door and greeted some of the members who were already there.

"Good morning, (Y/N)" a large grin decorates Kisame's face as he greeted me. "Breakfast?" he handed me a packet of biscuits.

"Thank you" I smiled. Kisame smiled back and unwrapped his second biscuit.

"I'm sick of this" Hidan complained and threw his biscuits.

"Me too, hm" Deidara replied. "I'll buy some food"

"No! it costs money" Kakuzu forbade. Hidan and Deidara groaned.

"C'mon, Kakuzu! We've been eating this for breakfast for 4 months! For f*cking 4 months!" Hidan yelled.

I was shocked.They ate the same food for breakfast for4 months? It's funny and sad at the same time. Hidan, Deidara and Kakuzu start arguing. Tobi joined by saying he wanted to eat candy for breakfast. I saw Sasori sighed in annoyance. Itachi closed his eyes and massaged his temples.
