(Sasuke X Reader) The Eyes That Capture

Chapter 89

"Let's go, (name)."

Utakata urges you as he peers through the door.

You fix your hair a little bit.

"Wait a minute! Almost done!"

A little touch up on the bang and ta-da! Your look is complete.

You stare at your reflection in the mirror.

"Wow, it has been so long since i dressed up like this. I didn't know i was this cute."

"Stop staring into the mirror, (name). It'll break."

Utakata suddenly speaks.

You turn to look at him annoyingly.

"Hey, can't you cut me some slack? Do you know how long I've been wanting to dress up like this?"

Utakata rolls his eyes.

"Yeah, yeah. You finally get back what you want, but then still refuse to stay. Irony."

You remain silent and just give Utakata a glare while your hands rest on your waist. He sees you and chuckles.

"Hehe... Sorry about that. Now, let's go. We're running late. It takes about 4 to 5 hours to reach Konoha by car. Now is 10 already. We're going to reach there by 2 or 3. Then, at what time am i supposed to be home? 9 pm? Oh my God, that's-"

"Now, now, that's enough Utakata-san! I'm done! Let's go."

You grab your handbag and walk out of the room, brushing past your brother that is in front of the door. After you left, Utakata closes the room's door and follows behind you.

When you get down to the first floor, you are greeted by Choujurou and a few of your maids.

They bow towards you.

"You look stunning, young lady."

The head butler praises you with his usual smooth speech, lifting up your mood.

"Thank you! Now, where's dad? I want to say goodbye."

Your eyes wander around the living room, trying to search for the silhouette of your father, but got nothing out of it.

"The master is not here. He left the house very early in the morning, right after breakfast."

Choujurou's answer abruptly removes the smile from your face.

"He... left? But he knew that I'm leaving for Konoha this morning, right?"

"Yes, young lady. I'm also not sure why he left, but there must be reasons."

You frown as last night's talk comes rushing into your mind. Indeed, Tobirama looked mad after you take Uchiha's side and didn't say anything after that, but there's no way he's avoiding you because of that, right?

"There's nothing to worry about, (name)."

Utakata suddenly puts his palm on top of your head.

"Something urgent came up in the office just now. He had to settle things over there, that's why he left early. He already told me to take care of you. So cheer up, okay?"

Utakata says with a wide smile plastered on his face. However, you know very well that it is all a lie.

Today is Sunday, what urgencies are there in the office on Sunday when no one is there except for the guards?

You'd believe him if he said that your father had to go and meet a client, but to be at office... that's an obvious lie.

However, you can't afford to say that to your brother, so you just smile at him.
