Kidnapped?

Kimiko's POV

"Get the in the car Kimiko." A man with a deep husky voice said, the voice was still unfamiliar and my first thing that came to my mind was why would I want to get in the car with a stranger, I'm not that stupid.

There are 2 options that I could do: First, leave my bike here and run as fast as I could. Second, scream for help, but looking at my condition right now there's no way I could outrun a car, not with this swollen ankle. So all I could do was to scream for help.

"If you come near me I'm gonna scream at the top of my lungs." I threatened, Wow good one Kimiko, you should've yelled so he would leave, instead you told him what you were planning on doing. The man inside the car let out a sigh and opened his door, NOW IS THE TIME TO SCREAM. 

"It's me." He said, and walked out his car. A tall, lean-built man with jet-black colored hair appeared and he looked at me with his onyx-colored eyes.
"Itachi?" I said "-what are you doing here?" I asked him, confused and shocked at the same time.
"I just dropped Izumi home and saw you walking since our house is the same direction, I'll give you a ride." He said coolly, with his emotionless face. 

"No thanks." I said rejecting his offer, if this was another girl they would immediately accept his offer because it's Itachi Uchiha, but I would rather walk home instead of getting in the car with the Uchiha.
"Well okay then." He said, and shrugged.
"Fine." I said and grabbed my bike, the pain on my ankle caused me to whimper again but I tried to hide it.
Itachi looked at me, let out a sigh and walked towards me, he grabbed my bike "What are you doing?" I asked him.

"Just get in the car." He said and opened the door for me, I hesitated at first but the pain on my ankle was getting worse, so I hopped in his car and he shut the door. He put my bike at the back seat and hopped in the front seat. I positioned myself the other way and crossed my arms in front of me just looking out the window, trying to ignore him and giving him an attitude. 

"What happened to your ankle?" he asked me as he started driving.
"None of your business." I replied.
He let out a small laugh "Now why are you being mean to me? when I just offered you a ride?" Itachi asked, and smirked.

He's right I should at least try to be nice. 

I looked at him, he was still wearing his school uniform with a black knitted sweater with a small Uchiha crest at the right chest. His jet black-hair was pulled back with a red elastic band in a low ponytail which extended to his shoulders. His hand gripped the wheel and I could see his veins popping out "Are you going to answer my question? Or just going to stare at me?" He asked catching me off guard.

I felt my cheeks burning and I faced the window before he could see my reaction.
"I fell of my bike, because the chain broke." I replied, then my stomach made a loud growl causing me to blush even harder. Itachi let out a laugh and smiled. I can't believe it the oh so great cold Itachi was smiling and laughing.
"Looks like I can't take you home yet." He said, turning the wheel and started driving to a different direction.
"Where are you taking me?" I asked.
"Let's go get some food." He replied.

It was starting to get dark and the city lights started glowing, I always loved being in the city at night, the lights, the sound of the crowd, everything was busy and for some reason I find it comforting. The car went to a full stop and I realized we were parked outside a small café.
"You can stay here. What do you want?" Itachi asked, freeing his self from the seat belt
"My ankle may be swollen, but I can still walk you know." I replied this time I was a little gentler with the tone of my voice.

We walked inside and picked a table, Itachi went to the counter to order our food. Who would have thought that Itachi had a side like this- smiling, laughing, and a complete opposite of what I thought he was. When I think about Itachi all I see is an older Sasuke that was way colder and just didn't care about anything at all... well except for his family. But this was a different Itachi right in front of my eyes, I almost feel guilty for being mean to him all the time. Itachi sat on the seat inf ront of me, he still had 'that look' on his face. Maybe I was wrong about him? 

"Why are you so quiet all of a sudden?" He asked snapping me out of my thoughts.
"Why are you doing this?" I asked him, it's okay to be suspicious, I've never seen him act like this before.
"What do you mean?" He replied raising his eyebrow.
"Well I mean, I thought you hated me because you were always mean and-" I started but he cut me off.
"When did I ever become mean to you?" he snapped back. 

I thought about the times he was mean to me but nothing came to my mind. Why is nothing coming in my mind? Well I guess it's just the fact that he thinks he's so cool, acting all superior, because almost all of the girls are head over heels for him. Plus he also acts cold towards me. Yup that's it that's the reason why he's mean to me. But don't you think it's kinda immature to hate him just because of that?

"Is it because I'm cold-hearted and full of myself?" He asked without hesitating. How did he even know, did I just said everything loudly?
"I didn't say that." I said my voice slowly getting softer.
"Well that's what you said to me at the Hyuga's party." Itachi said, making my eyes widen.

"Well, I was drunk and they say drunk words are sober thoughts. So yea. Maybe. I DON'T KNOW. It doesn't matter!" I argued, I somehow managed to say those words without stuttering. 
"How is that being mean to you?" he asked, he's really pushing me to my limit I can't say anything anymore.
"Whatever." I said and crossed my arms in front of me.I hate being confronted.

"So you don't remember anything from the party?" Itachi asked, leaning back to his chair.
"No." I just replied. The waiter place our food on the table there where cupcakes, cheesecakes, dangos and iced coffee for the two of us. Itachi thanked the waiter and she blushed and looked like she was about to faint, but I'm not really surprised this happens to Sasuke all the time too. Making girls swoon everywhere an Uchiha goes is a normal thing for me already. 

"He's cold hearted. He thinks he's so cool trying to ignore everybody. He's popular in school but he's so full of himself. Just because he's good looking." Itachi muttered and grab a stick of dangos.
"Huh?" I asked looking at him confused.
"Those are the exact words you told me when you were drunk." He replied smirking. 

My cheeks started burning up again. Did I really say those words? This is exactly why I should stop drinking! Kakashi was right, I should me more responsible.

"So Kimiko... you think I'm good looking?" Itachi asked smiling at me and putting his hand on his cheek an resting his elbow on the table. I rarely see him smile but this time he's smiling too much and it makes my heart beat faster and I'm not liking it.
"No." I lied, it's true he's good looking, but that's it... You're allowed to think someone is attractive and not have feelings for them.  Like how I think Sasuke is good looking, but I don't have a crush on him he's just a friend that's all... and also, there's Neji he's good looking but  I don't have a crush on him. Well at least not anymore, I was only 12 when I had a crush on Neji. 

"But you said drunk words are sober thoughts." He said going for the kill.

Itachi Uchiha, just what are you trying to prove?
