Itachi Spends Some Time With Kurai

"I...honestly don't know. I guess I just...never expected to like anyone, honestly" he said.

"Understandable, i guess we're both really in that position,"
She leaned back on her arms.

"I truthfully expected Sasuke to kill me, restore honor to the Uchiha name and then help revive the clan" he said honestly.

"I expected my father to pawn me off to some other clan to strengthen his alliances,"
She shrugged.
"I guess we've both gained something,"
She tilted her head to look at him, flashing a smile.

"Yes, I guess we have" he said with a small, almost unnoticeable smile. His first smile in years.

"I'm glad you see it the same way,"
She nodded, causing the ribbon to unwind from her hair.

"I'm just wondering something. Should we act like a couple around the other Akatsuki members or should we keep this secret?" he asked her.

"Well...Depends. Kakuzu, Sasori and Konan wouldnt care. Deidara would find a snide comment, dont even get me started on Tobi and Hidan,"
She chuckled.
"I dont know how Kisame and Pein would react..."

"I have to agree with you. Although, I really don't care what Deidara or Hidan have to say about it" he said truthfully.

She nodded.
"True, they've just got nothing better to do,"
She sat up.
"Well, its your call. I'm fine either way,"

"They would find out eventually and Lord Leader would know almost immediately. I say we don't even bother trying to hide it" he said.

She nodded.
"You're right, theres no point in hiding it,"
She rolled her eyes as she saw a flash of blonde in the doorway.
"We've got an audience..."
She whispered.

Itachi nodded and turned to Deidara. "What do you want Deidara?" he asked the blond rudely. "What were you two talking about, un?" he asked them with a narrowed eye.

"What's it to you?"
She replied, raising an eyebrow.
"Havent you got something better to do then snoop around girls rooms?"

"Yeah, I do, hm! I was just going to tell Sasori-Danna that art should be fleeting, un! I am going to make him see it my way, yeah!!" he said with a scowl as he turned on his heel and started walking away.

"So he's a transexual, a pervert AND a puppet-fucker...Thats just insanity.."
She smirked, turning back to Itachi.

"FUCK YOU BITCH, UN!!!" Deidara yelled back at her as he walked away.

"No, no, you fuck SASORI. Not me,"
She retaliated.
"Sorry about that, whenever Deidaras around i cant help myself,"
She said to Itachi, the slightest smirk playing across her lips.

"I understand perfectly. Deidara is very annoying" said Itachi before Hidan walked into the room. "You fuckers better not fucking disturb me. Today's Wednesday and today is where I do my most serious fucking fucking ritual. Either of you fucking disturb me and I'll fucking sacrifice you both to Lord Jashin" he said as he walked away, Itachi rolling his eyes at Hidan.

"Jeez, what is this? Just cuz the door is open the tiniest bit they think they've got permission to just waltz right in?"
She growled.
"Honestly, next time someone just wanders in i'm gonna give them something to look at..."

"Hidan always does that on Wednesdays so don't worry about it" he said with a reassuring nod.

She nodded slowly, calming herself.
"Right, thanks,"
She looked at him.
"Just stay still for a second and let me try something,"
She leaned over and kissed him again, knowing what she was doing this time.

He hesitantly kissed her back, wrapping his arms around her waist.

She placed her hands gently on his shoulders as she kissed him, closing her eyes

He moved his tongue past her lips and explored her mouth with his tongue.
