Another Akatsuki Love Story

Chapter 22: Weakness

One of the many things I suck at doing is lying

A small white lie is completely fine, but a bigger one, I'm not so good at

Even back at Konoha when I lived with the Hokage, I never was able to lie to him or the guards very well, I usually got caught and you probably know the rest, I was put to my punishment, I am a suckish liar

These were the thoughts running through my mind as I carried on to find Naruto

How on Earth would I lie to Pain?

If he did find me that is

Which is why I plan to be extra sneaky and find my way through

I nodded to myself as I prepared breakfast, I would carry out with my mission later when everyone's asleep, it'll do me good that way

"Yuki...what are you mumbling to yourself?" Deidara asked, "are you morphing into Tobi? We really do not need another lunatic, un"

"Yuki is Tobi?" Tobi asks, I laugh at the thought, Tobi is so mature and different without his mask, I wonder why he hides his true self from the rest of them

Just then Itachi entered the kitchen, looking completely worn out, it looked like he hadn't gotten a wink of sleep

He walked over sleepily and pulled me by the waist, his mouth meeting mine, enveloping it, my eyes did somersaults, I could feel the stricken stares of Dei, Sasori, Tobi and Hidan

I felt his tongue enter my mouth and my eyes widened even more, I felt bound to my place, he pulled back out a split second later

"Mornin'" He said huskily into my ear, I felt the tingle of a blush on my face, his hand still around my waist, so that I don't move around, I wondered if he would've let his hand slip further below..

WAIT, WHAT? YUKI? WHAT ON EARTH IS WRONG WITH YOU?!

Deidara cleared his throat noisily, Tobi goes as far as to pulling Itachi's arm away from my waist

Sasori raised an eyebrow

"Sorry to interrupt your love fest, but what the hell are you doing un?!!" Deidara asked, glaring at Itachi "That's going way too far"

"What do you mean?" Itachi asked Deidara, dumbfounded

"Even I would consider kissing, inappropriate" Sasori chimed in, not glancing at any of us

Ha, right, you hypocrite

"You didn't seem to think of that when you kissed her before" Deidara fired at Sasori

"Well, Hidan asked if I gave Yuki a goodbye kiss and I didn't..." Itachi said, looking confused, everyone turned to look at Hidan

"It was a joke! I SWEAR, I was fooling around, I didn't think he'd actually kiss her!"

"Tobi wants to choke Yuki as well" Tobi said, glumly

I was blushing so much now, thank goodness there was no mirror around, I would have totally passed out looking at myself

I slowly slipped away from them and the kitchen, they would certainly give me a coronary stroke, thankfully, I'm quite small, so no one really noticed

I heaved a relieved sigh, was Itachi really that dense? or was he just pretending? I wasn't so sure myself

_______________

"I apologize for what I'd done...it was..rude and....pretentious of me..."

I stared at Itachi, blinking a few times
