"A beautiful sight, isn't it?"
Itachi says as he takes a seat beside you.
You smile kindly at him, and then return your eyes to the gorgeous garden.
"Yes, it is. Your grandmother created this garden, right?"
Itachi also keeps his eyes towards the view.
"Yes, she did. She put all her love into making this garden. That's why it is so beautiful."
And the next moment, both of you remain silent to enjoy the scenery. Wind is blowing gently, slightly brushing the flowers, making them flutter under the bright sun.
Spring break is almost over for you, and you have to go back to Konoha before the new semester starts. Your ten days leave is left with three more days. Now that you think of it, a lot has happened in the past few days.
Sasuke confessed to you, Itachi told you the truth about Sasuke, and you broke up with Gaara. You came to Uchiha Village in order to find Sasuke, but met with Madara thanks to Itachi. The conversation you shared on that day helped you to know more about the stern man, thus allowing you to understand a bit about him. That night, you and Sasuke shared your first real kiss (because the one during Christmas was done by Sasuke alone so it doesn't count). And the next day, Fugaku came to meet you. The caterpillar incident still plays clearly in your head, but you just keep it to yourself. It'll damage his reputation if you leak it. That night, Sasuke didn't meet you at all as per ordered by Madara. And the leader of Uchiha came to talk to you on the next morning. He told you the truth about your family which you never know, and then proposed a gamble to you. You were locked in a hut far from Uchiha mansion (well, you agreed to that though) and was saved by Sasuke, Itachi and Shisui. Finally, earlier today, all the conflicts were resolved and Madara finally expressed how he actually felt all this while.
When you think about it now, it's like everything happened a long time ago even when it was just yesterday that you were kidnapped out of your own will. And it all happened in a short amount of time.
How unbelievable.
However, now that everything has settled, you feel extremely relieved. Even the air feels cleaner and the sky seems clearer.
The garden also looks much prettier than before.
It really is good to have a big family. Furthermore, when the family understands each other. How great...
A melancholic thought suddenly perches on your mind.
Family...
Now that you think about it, it has been so long since you met your father. You always video called your brother and talked to your mother, but father...
He might be a stern man, but somewhere in his heart, he must've been doing everything that he thinks will be good for you. He just wants the best for you and your brother, right? Just like Madara.
But how do you talk to him again?
It would've been impossible to go back without getting punishments, right? After you have been running away all this while, of course he'd be mad... Right...?
"Feeling sad about something?"
Itachi's sudden question causes you to startle.
"Y-yes...? Ah... no, no... not really."
He turns to look at you.
"Oh, come on. I can feel the negative aura from here, you know. Just tell me what's wrong. Who knows i might be able to help?"
