Chapter 16

It was a blessing the murderer (Itachi himself) was never caught, seeing as any trace of evidence at the scene of the crime was never present to begin with. He had hid the evidence in his abode for safekeeping as representation of the proud achievement of killing Danzo. Life went well for Itachi and he carefully planned his next tactic regarding [Name]... 

He gave her a month to "mourn". After all, it was more than a considerable amount given, especially for a dastardly fool like Danzo. Granted, if he had lost sight of his goal and his mind, he would have taken [Name] as his wife. However, seeing as the circumstances weren't fit for him yet, the only thing he had to do was wait. 

Itachi simply searched up her address in the client records. Surprisingly, she was located ten minutes away from his place by foot. How had he not happen to have the pleasure of meeting her years ago? Fate had a fine way of running things, he mused as he casually made way for her house.  

She lived in a busy neighborhood, located in the middle of businesses and crowded streets. He turned the corner, just barely brushing by a quick-paced pedestrian who shouted furious words into her phone. The tall, confident man spotted her richly adorned apartment littered with newly constructed architecture and high marbled balconies. It was on the other end of the street and he would make his way there and sweep his woman off her feet; of course, it was about time she paid much needed attention to him. 

However, he was unable to make it to destination for his eyes landed on his obsession: [Name]. She was dressed in simple attire consisting of a T-shirt and — were they cotton shorts? They accentuated and hugged her long, smooth legs that seemed to go on for miles.  

Consider me a jogger from now on, his conscience cackled. 

She seemed to have a little hop in each descending step until she reached the pavement. A small smile was present on her face and she was headed towards his way. Acting upon his flight instincts, he turned away so that she was unable to spot his face. She passed him by without a second thought and her feminine scent floated to his poor, deprived nostrils. Oh how long it had been, to be able to smell his beloved [Name]? It was too long, and any longer would end his obsessed, lonely soul.  

Fortunately, he was able to keep his head together and quietly follow her, safely twenty paces away; if there were objects he could cover himself with, his body quickly hid behind them. She stopped in front of the Konoha Hospital and entered, leaving Itachi with a cloud of confusion. After giving a minute to pass, he as well entered and spotted her venturing down the hallways. He pursued her once again, trailing not too far behind her. [Name] disappeared into a room and he stood besides the door. 

Taking a chance, he peeked inside and saw her holding a man's hand. Blood immediately rushed to his face and the impeccable anger was beginning to overtake him. 

"Hello Daddy," she murmured. 

Instantly, his fury disappeared and understanding hit him. He waited for her to say more and so she did. "I bring good news; I have enough for both you and Mommy's surgery. Danzo was murdered in front of my very own eyes by a mysterious man in black; I can't say if it was a traumatic or miraculous experience." Itachi's eyes followed her hands, to which they lovingly placed around her father's face.  

Father or not, I am not sure I appreciate the loving touches. They are meant for only me. 

"I cannot wait for the both of you to awaken, so that we can be a happy family together once more... I am tired of the rich men I lure in order to support you. I have inherited Danzo's money from his death and am quite ecstatic. I hope to greet you soon." She kissed his forehead and stood up.  

That was his cue to knock and she flinched diminutively before turning to face him. The look of surprise on her face was uncontained. "Itachi, what brings you here?" 

"I understand everything..." he murmured to her. He stepped closer and affectionately placed a hand on her soft cheek. "Will you give me your hand in marriage? I will be the one to support you." 

She should accept, or she will face the consequences... My lovely [Name], do not push and tempt me. 

Her exquisite eyes widened to his unexpected question. For the first time he had met her, she stammered. "I... M-May I give myself time to think about this?" 

His dark eyes narrowed and studied her, disliking her answer to his request — no, it wasn't a request, rather, a demand. However, he knew he had to reel her in with this... just one more time.  

"You may."
