Itachi tensed, his hold on me almost too tight now. He had to know who the group was, I know Pein, Kakuzu and Kisame did. With Kisame and Itachi being close, it made sense for him to know too. Itachi's grip loosened, and I turned my body to face his. I wrapped my arms around him, finding comfort in his embrace.

"Let me help you." He murmured into my hair.

"How?" I moved my head to lay again this chest, his heartbeat slowing, calming me.

"Kisame said he's your ride home."

"Dammit, Kisa." I groaned.

"I can see he cares about you. He doesn't talk about many people like he does you."

"Yes. I usually ride in with Hidan. Kisa takes me home."

"I'll start dropping you off and taking you home." He offered.

"Tachi," I pulled away and sat on one of the chairs, "I appreciate it, but I'm okay. Saturday's I don't get off until 4am Sunday morning. Sometimes, I go eat with the guys. Sunday's, I get off at 2am, then I'm in the office at 8am. I can't ask you to do that."

"I'm not asking." He crouched in front of me.

"Your cousins don't know I work here. I don't want anyone else to know."

"I won't tell them." He assured.

"They'll wonder why you're busy from 6pm until whenever you get back. Then leaving early because you have to pick me up."

"I'll stay here."

"Kisa already told me you don't like it here. Plus that's even more suspicious. You go out with them sometimes. Plus Izumi."

"Okay, okay. I get it. But please," he held my hands, "Don't hesitate to ask me for a ride. Or anything for that matter." I nodded. "Is there anything else I should know?"

I sighed, "Probably."

"That doesn't sound good." He mumbled as he sat down across from me, on the velvet couch.

"Last week, I ran into Ry on the street. Let me start over." I took a deep breath before continuing, "I saw him walking down the street and started to panic, I was looking for an escape. There was a man, he saw me freaking out, so he pretended to be my boyfriend that was running late for a lunch date. Ry confronted us, then tried to say I hired the guy to pose as my boyfriend. So I kissed the guy."

"You kissed a total stranger?" Itachi seemed quite surprised by the statement.

"It's was Obito."

"What?" I looked up to see shock written across his face.

"It was the day of my interview. He saw how frightened I was and jumped into help."

"You're the girl he talked about." Itachi mumbled more to himself than speaking to me.

"Huh?" I tilted my head.

"That night, he was drunk, kept talking about this beautiful girl that he kissed that day. I didn't think anything of it, he didn't act any differently at work when he was around you."

Beautiful. "Whatever. That's not important." I waved a hand around as I stood up. "When Obito and Shisui were helping me move, Ry sent me a text." I settled next to Itachi, wanting to be close again. "It was of the pictures took of me when I was drugged, plus, the pictures from my police report." I sighed before whispering, "Obito called him, threatened to kill him."

"Does he know who your ex is?"

"No." I hung my head.

"You need to tell him. And Shisui if they know that much already."
