Second Chance (An Itachi Uchiha Love Story) 7

Heartbroken

I didn't leave my bed for an entire day. Chojuro came to check on me, but I remained under my covers the entire time. I only responded with one-word replies as well. It was clear that he was worried about me, but I didn't care at that moment. I just knew my whole world had just been blown up and everything now seemed like a lie to me. I couldn't even gather up the courage to go and tell Itachi and the others what I'd found out. Finally, Lady Mizukage had enough of my sulking. She sent the one person I couldn't turn away to me. She sent Sasuke. “Adryn, we heard about what you found out last night, but you can't stay in bed forever,” Sasuke informed me as he stood in my room. I just looked at him and didn't respond. “Come one, get out of there.” Sasuke reached for me, but I smacked his hand away. “Don't make me do what I had to do last time.” The last time he was referring to was when Itachi died and I locked myself in a hideout for days on end. I refused to eat or drink anything and I just stayed in bed crying for all that time. Sasuke had to finally get water and throw it on me to force me out of bed. He was quite cruel at that time. He had no sympathy for me because after soaking me with water, he used his lightning on me, forcing me to get out of bed. “You wouldn't dare...” I grumbled at him. “You've changed. You couldn't risk hurting me like that anymore.” “I won't leave you alone until you get out of bed. I can't have you killing yourself over this.” “What?! I won't... God damn Sasuke, I'm just upset, not going to fucking kill myself over some asshole who betrayed me!” I tried to get out of bed, only to be caught in blankets and then fall out of bed completely. I hit the floor hard and just laid there. “Please help me...” I could hear Sasuke coming to my rescue. He lifted me to my feet with his one arm and then untangled the blankets from around me once my feet were stable on the ground. “Thank you...” “Will you be alright?” “Not now, but eventually. It's all my fault, Sasuke. This is happening because of me. It's my former lover that's doing this and my eyes that he's using.” “Adryn, it isn't your fault. No one thinks that. So go take a shower and get ready for the day. My brother is worried about you. Don't make him worry any longer.” “Won't he be asleep, it's already super late.” “He's waiting for you.” That made my heart skip a beat, and made me nod my head. I then did as Sasuke told me to do and got ready for the day, despite it already being over. I put on my usual black pants and a tank top, black this time and headed out with Sasuke to the mansion. There, we found Kisame and Itachi waiting on one of the couches in the living room. They stood up and instantly approached me. That was when I realized that Sasuke had left me to them. “Hey, guys...” My heart wasn't in it, but I was trying at least. “Where have you been? We were worried that maybe those guys came back and got to you or something!” Kisame was obviously not too thrilled with me right now, but I was just too relieved to see him, I started to smile. “What are you smiling about?” “I have no idea, seeing you both just make me happy. I guess there is still some reason to exist and not curl up and die in my bed.” “Is that what you were thinking about doing?” Itachi then asked, with a worried tone in his voice. “I thought about it, but Sasuke knocked some sense into me. Not literally, but he made me realize that I needed to get out of bed and exist again despite everything I found out yesterday.” “We heard about Ao being alive and turning against you and this village. It must be hard.” “Hard doesn't really describe it, 'tachi. Ao had meant everything to me. After I lost you I had just been wandering around aimlessly before Lady Mizukage caught me and brought me back to the Mist. Ao was the one who woke me up and gave me a reason to live. He didn't mean to, but he made me fall in love with him. We were even going to be getting married after the war. So this is more than just hard. It's devastating to find out that the man I loved is now trying to kill me and destroy everything he once stood for.” As I spoke, I made my way to a chair and sat down. I was far too tired to keep standing as I spoke about this emotional bullshit. “I see.” Itachi made a strange face, but it instantly faded away before Kisame or I could comment on it. It almost seemed like he didn't like me talking about another man the way I talked about him. However, Kisame decided to speak up and say something that was surprising. “It kinda makes me jealous to hear you talk about another man like that. Don't you feel like that Itachi? The girl who wholeheartedly loved you was able to fall in love with another man after you died.” Itachi made that face again but spoke up this time. “Is that was I'm feeling?” “Huh?” I was a little shocked at Itachi's admission. Kisame, however, just smiled at his former partner. “Anyway, guys, I'm sorry I just stayed in bed all day. I shouldn't have acted so childishly.” “You're right, but it's alright because you're cute.” Kisame teasingly informed me with a smile on his face. I couldn't help but smile back while Itachi was now lost in thought. “So, now I need to break any possible genjutsu on the others around here. Including you two. Even though you aren't controlled right now, doesn't mean you won't be in the future. So I need to break that mind link before it happens. However, I think Kakuzu is being controlled right now, so first him.” I stood up from my seat and made my way to the door. Kisame and Itachi followed behind me, watching how confused I was as I walked around. “If you're looking for Kakuzu's room, go down that hallway.” Kisame pointed to our left and I nodded my head as a thank you. I began to make my way down the halls and came across Hidan in the process. “Hey, bitch, why is Kakuzu acting so weird?!” Hidan instantly snapped at me when he saw me. I internally just sighed and wondered why I had to deal with this maniac. “Hidan, Kuzu is being controlled, just like you were.” I simply spoke to him slowly so he'd understand me completely. “I need to get into his room so I can break the genjutsu controlling him.” “...Fine...” Hidan then moved out of the way and allowed me into his room. The door was locked though so I just gave it a nice kick, knocking the door out of the way. In the middle of his room stood Kakuzu. He was just standing there staring right at the door. As soon as our eyes met, he lunged at me. I jolted but moved out of the way, causing everyone else to dodge him as well. “The fuck?!” Hidan nearly collided with the larger man but was able to move just in time. “As I said, he's being controlled. Hold him down so I can help him!” I yelled out to the group of men surrounding me. They instantly moved into action with Kisame practically tackling Kakuzu to the ground. Hidan held the bottom half of him, as Kisame held the top half of him. Itachi just stood there, unsure of what to do. Kakuzu began to thrash around under the two men, but I grabbed his face and used my eyes to break the jutsu holding my friend. Instantly, he came back to his senses and was obviously confused. “What is going on here?” Kakuzu demanded as he looked at his situation. “You can let go of him now,” I informed the two men holding onto him. They released him and stood up, leaving Kakuzu on the ground, confused as hell. “You were being controlled by a genjutsu. You were trying to kill me, but I was able to destroy the mind link between you and the caster of the jutsu.” “I see...” Kakuzu stood up and just looked at me. “I won't thank you.” “That's fine. A hug will do anyway.” Before he could stop me, I was hugging him. “What are you doing, you bitch?!” Hidan yelled out in horror. “What are you doing, Adryn?” Kakuzu questioned possibly also in horror. “I'm sorry. I was just worried about you. I wasn't sure what the caster would make you do and I was a little worried that something bad would happen to you. I'm glad that you were just trying to kill me and not yourself.” I spoke as I released the man and looked up at him. “I don't know what I would have done if I found you dead. I don't like that thought at all.” “I don't like that thought either,” Kakuzu muttered as Hidan mumbled it under his breath. “Sorry about hugging you. I know how you feel about being touched by me now.” “It's alright, Adryn.” Kakuzu then patted my head and looked back to his door, which now had a broken lock. “What am I supposed to do about that now?” “Stay in Hidan's room?” To me suggestion, Kakuzu glared at me. “What? I'm sure Hidan would enjoy that.” “Fuck you, bitch!” Hidan yelled out as he spun around and walked away from all of us. “Oh, is he still mad at me?” “You keep teasing him, of course, he's mad at you,” Kisame commented simply. He was smiling though so I knew he enjoyed me pissing off Hidan as much as I enjoyed it. Kakuzu just sighed and followed after Hidan. I assume to make him feel better in some way. It was like Kakuzu heard my thoughts, as he paused and turned around to look straight at me. “Stop your fay thoughts about us Adryn. It's ridiculous.” With that, Kakuzu turned back around and headed through the hallway to find wherever Hidan had run off to. “Well, now I should break the mind link with the others. I guess I should start with you two, right?” I spoke as I turned around to face Itachi and Kisame. Kisame just shrugged his shoulders, not caring at all. “Alright then, I'll start with you, Ki.” I activated my Sharingan and searched for the link in his brain. It took a second, but eventually, I found it and severed it. I then did the same with Itachi. “Are we good now?” Kisame questioned after I deactivated my abilities. I just nodded my head. “Good. I don't like the thought that someone could control

me at any moment.” “You just acted like you didn't care though, what's up with that?” “It was just an act I guess.” He shrugged his shoulders again and yawned this time. “It's late, I wanna get to bed now.” “You can go to bed, I'll go through the rest of the members and break their mind links as well.” “I'll stay up with you, Adryn.” Itachi suddenly spoke up, catching me off guard. I turned to look at him and smiled at him. “Alright, thanks.” I bid goodnight to Kisame and watched as he went down another hallway to find his bedroom. There were a lot of bedrooms in the mansion, so everyone was mostly spread out. Other than a few of them who'd chosen to stay close to their former partners' room. So Hidan was close to Kakuzu's room. Kisame and Itachi's rooms were close together. You get the picture. The partners stuck close together. I think Obito, however, is staying away from the rest for the most part and took up a room somewhere on a different floor as the rest. Though I think Konan and Nagato also are on that floor, just away from the Uchiha man. “So, who's first?” Itachi asked me, bringing me out of my thoughts. “Oh, well let's see who's still up first. So let's check the common areas like the kitchen and the living room.” So that's what Itachi and I did. Along the way, we ran into Hidan and Kakuzu in the kitchen. We ignored them and entered the living room, which surprisingly had a few people in there. Konan, Nagato, and Obito were all in there chatting with each other. “Hello,” I spoke when I entered the room. They all looked up at me and returned my greetings. I then explained to them what I needed to do and they all agreed instantly. None of them liked the thought of being controlled by someone else. So, I broke their mind links. It was simple now that I knew where to look in their mind. “Where were you today, Adryn?” Konan suddenly asked me after I broke her mind link, which she was the last one. I explained everything to her and the other two men. “I see, I'm so sorry.” I just smiled at her. “It'll be alright, I'm sure of it. I have people close to me that will help me through this tough time.” I was still a bit down due to everything, but with Itachi and Kisame, along with Sasuke at my side, I knew I would be alright. “Should we look for the others? Deidara and Sasori might be in their rooms.” Itachi mentioned after we said goodnight to the three in the living room and left the room. “No, I'll just get them tomorrow. I don't want to annoy Sasori. He's scary when he's angry.” I couldn't help but chuckle at that. “He's also adorable.” “He'd kill you if he heard that,” Itachi muttered in response. I just smiled at him. “He totally would, wouldn't he?” Instead of smiling back at me, Itachi seemed to have thought of something. “What is it, 'tachi?” “You should stay here tonight. It's already completely dark out. I don't want you to be walking back to your home alone. Especially now that you have been attacked a few times.” Itachi explained to me simply. I thought about it for a moment before nodding my head. “Very well. That sounds like a good idea.” I agreed maybe a little too quickly. “Where do you and Ki stay? I want to stay in a room around you two.” Itachi nodded his head and guided me to where their rooms are. “This is my room.” Itachi pointed to his left. There was a room right there. “Kisame's is the door two down on the same side.” “I see. So I'll stay in this one.” I pointed to the one in the middle of the two's doors. “Alright. Well, goodnight.” Itachi paused before entering his room though. “If you need anything, wake me up.” “I will, thank you 'tachi.” He nodded his head and left me alone in the hallway. I then entered my room and saw it was a pretty nice room. It was like the others were. There was a bed, a desk and plenty of space for anything else you might want. We allowed the Akatsuki to customize their rooms to a point. However, this room was just a blank room, but still, it seemed cozy enough. I instantly locked the door and took off the clothes I had on, leaving me in my underwear, which was panties and a bra. I really hoped that the lock would hold up against other people. I didn't need anyone to see me like this. ~ I woke up the next morning, earlier than usual. Not for any particular reason, I was just fully rested earlier due to most of my previous day spent in bed all day. So, now that I was awake, I put my clothes back on and unlocked the door. I left the room and sensed that both Kisame and Itachi were still sleeping. So, I went to the kitchen and living room to see if Deidara or Sasori were awake. Sure enough, I found both of them already up and in the living room. “Hey, guys.” I smiled at them. “What do you want?” Sasori grumbled, he clearly had just woken up. I explained to them then all about the mind link and being controlled. “Can I break the link in your mind so that Ao can't control you at any given time?” I asked politely. I sure hoped that they would allow me to do so, and they did. Both of them nodded their heads almost instantly. I guess the feeling of not wanting to be controlled is strong in the Akatsuki members. “Thank you.” I started with Sasori and then went to Deidara. “Alright, that should do it.” “If you're done, you can leave now.” “...Of course. Have a good day guys.” With that, I left the room and entered the kitchen. I was all alone now and was bored. So I decided to raid their refrigerator and cupboards. However, there was nothing simple to eat, so I just decided to walk around the mansion. I took a mental note of where everything was and how to get to it. I needed to figure out this place better just in case of emergencies. Being a sensory ninja doesn't help when you don't know how to get to the place you are sensing people in. However, of course, I got lost. “Where am I?” I muttered to myself quietly. I just kept walking through and ended up, somehow, in the front of the mansion. “How did I get here?” “You alright, Adryn?” One of the ANBU questioned when he heard me mumbling to myself. I looked over at him and smiled. “Just trying to find my way.” “Aren't we all...” The other ANBU muttered under his breath. “Are you alright?” The first ANBU asked the second one. The second one just nodded his head, but I figured that it was a lie. However, I sensed more people waking up, so I decided to head back to the kitchen and wait there for people. I'd cook them food, if only I knew how to. As I was lost in thought, I heard the door open behind me. “Good morning, Adryn. You're here awfully early.” It was Kisame who entered the kitchen right after me. “Actually, I stayed the night here,” I responded with a smile on my face. “You what?” I could tell his mind went to me doing something with Itachi. “I stayed in the room between you and Itachi. It's not like anything happened while you slept.” I couldn't help but chuckle at him. He breathed a sigh of relief and nodded his head. “So, you making up breakfast?” Kisame then realized something and spoke up again. “Oh right, you cant cook.” “I can try!” “You said you'd burn the place down if you tried.” “...You're right...” I sighed and looked down at the floor. “Well, I can make us something.” “You can?” I was shocked and surprised. I didn't think he could cook. “You'd have to make something for everyone else too.” Both Kisame and I jolted when we heard Sasori's voice from the other doorway. “I guess I can. Adryn you help me though.” Kisame wasn't too pleased about it but seemingly was thrilled about me helping him. “That won't end well...” “Just help me out!” Kisame got an apron from one of the cupboards and handed it to me. “Here, wear this.” “You wear it!” “You'll look cuter in it, not me.” I sighed and took the damn apron. I quickly put it on and then turned to Kisame. “Happy now?” “Extremely.” Kisame looked at me fondly, before shaking his head and regaining his composure. “Now, I'll show you how to cook.” Everything went surprisingly well and the food turned out as okay as it could be with an inexperienced chef and a big blue man cooking it. I was sent to gather the residences of the mansion. However, most of them already woke up before I could wake them up. Nagato, Konan, Obito, and Kakuzu were all already awake by the time Kisame and I were done with cooking. They were all in the living room with Deidara and Sasori waiting for the food to get done. So that left Itachi and Hidan to wake up. I decided to wake Hidan up first. “Hidan, the food's done!” I yelled out through his door. I could hear him stir in his bed, but he didn't get out of it. “Hidan! Don't make me come in there!” “I'm naked in here!” Hidan yelled back to me. “Gross Hidan, just come out when you're dressed, alright, the food is ready.” I heard him grumble something, but I couldn't hear what it was. So I just shrugged and walked away. I made my way to Itachi's room, only for him to walk out of it just as I approached. “Good morning 'tachi.” He turned to me, a little surprised. “Morning, Adryn.” He responded after a moment. “How did you sleep?” “Just fine, as usual.” “I see. Well, Ki and I made food, so let's head to the kitchen!” “You helped?” He seemed a little skeptical and hesitant about that. “I did! I swear!” I couldn't help but chuckle at the situation. He and I were just chatting away like nothing was wrong. Even though, there were a few things that were indeed wrong. Itachi must have picked up on my change from chuckling to darkness. “Are you doing alright?” “I guess I am. I need to talk to the Kage though. We need to move into action immediately before Ao does anything else.” “When will you talk to them?” “After breakfast,” I responded just as we reached the kitchen door. When I opened it, Hidan and everyone else were already in there. None of them were eating though. “What's going on?” “We were waiting for you and Itachi, bitch!” Hidan snapped at me. I couldn't help but smile though. “Thank you guys!” So, then we all dug into the food that Kisame and I made. It probably could have tasted way better if I didn't help, but it was decent enough. It filled our stomachs and gave us energy for the day. “That could have been worse I guess,” Hidan complained or complimented. I wasn't sure which he was doing, or maybe it was both. “It's called, saying thank you, Hidan,” Kakuzu grumbled as he left the room to go do whatever he does when he's awake. “I refuse to thank that blue fuck and his whore!” Hidan yelled out as he followed Kakuzu. I just sighed to myself. “Don't worry Adryn, I think that was him being nice,” Konan stated with a smile on her face. “Yeah, I'm sure it was, he didn't need to add that last part though,” I responded simply with a half-smile on my face. “Though I guess I kind of deserve that.” “No woman ever deserves being called such a horrible thing, no matter what they have done in life.” “Thank you, Konan.” I fully smiled at the woman now as I got up from the seat I was sitting in. “You leaving or something?” Kisame questioned when he noticed me begin to head for the door. “I am actually. I need to plan our next move with the Kage. We can't just sit still now that we know who is behind everything. Besides, I'm really getting tired of being attacked and left in the dark. I need to talk to the Kage and find out everything that they know.” “Good luck!” Kisame called out to me as I exited the kitchen. I made my way through the halls and left through the door. The ANBU gave me looks as I left. I couldn't see their faces, of course, but I could sense their judging eyes on me. I did stay the night after all. So I was probably now written off as a whore to more people. However, I didn't care, I made my way home first to shower and change before heading to the Kage. I hoped they were all in there this time so we could have a proper talk.
