~Anna's POV~

School's been boring. The only enjoyable thing ever was PE, where we had sports most of the times. A day in a week, we had our class together with Itachi's section and that was the best time for me. But today, Itachi had 'something to do' so he was skipping PE. So along with other students, I went to the gym for volleyball. Last time I played that game, it left me with so many bruises that Itachi strictly told me to sit out the next one. But he wasn't here now, neither was anyone else I knew so nobody could tell on me.

I was excited for the game because it wasn't a boys versus girls match but people had to pick their teams by drawing papers.

When the people had picked out the coloured tags, they separated for teams and I was so relieved when I was on the team opposite to Natsumi.

Who was Natsumi? A girl, er slut, in Itachi's section and way too casual with him. I didn't like how she would unbutton the first few buttons when she would be near Tachu. To top it all off, they were both 'partners' in labs. Ugh. I hated her.

" BEGIN!!" Gai sensei announced and the ball was thrown in the air.

This will be so much fun!

When I arrived home, I rested quite a bit. Uncle was out and I don't know what gave away my today's sport but Itachi arrived shortly after myself at my house. But when he told me that he knew that I had played volleyball he had been shaking his head for who knows what reason. I tried telling him that I wasn't that much hurt but he just wasn't listening.

" You should've seen Natsumi's face when their team lost." I told Itachi smirking. We were both on the couch and I had pushed my some what anger to the back of my mind. I knew he would be here for a small amount of time.

" Stop competing." I raised my eyebrows. " You're hurting yourself over her. Just don't concern yourself with her."

" Like hell I won't."

" You should."

"I am not hurting myself." Now he raised his eyebrows and lightly slapped my arm.

"Did you even clean the scratches?" He asked when I yelped in pain. Sure there were a few scratches but not a proper injury. My quietness was enough of an answer because he shook his head, stood up and brought the first aid kit and began cleaning my arm. I was deep in thought so I didn't notice it all happening but the stinging brought me back.

" Ouch!"

" And you said it was nothing." Itachi shook his head, AGAIN!

" Dude, stop shaking your head. Its gonna un-screw and fall off." I told him bluntly. My mind still was elsewhere. After a few minutes, my arm starting hurting from being in the same position. " Are you done yet?"

" No. You seemingly have a wound." Emphasis on wound.

" Just a scratch probably."

" Right." He said sarcastically, I pouted.

" Phew." I breathed in relief when my arm was finally let go.

" The other arm." Itachi demanded.

" No."

" You're being stubborn again."

" No I'm not."

" Then give me your arm."

" No." Itachi gave me look when I yet again refused him. " But its gonna hurt!"

" You're thinking about it that's why its hurting."

" I can't help NOT think about it!" He sighed and forcibly grabbed my arm. " Hey!"

" Think about something else."

" About what?"

" I dunno, something."

" Well if you're gonna be the one to torture me then you might as well tell me what else to think about."

" Its awfully quiet. Where's everyone?" Itachi asked looking around.

" On the hunt."

" Hunt?"

" For a girl."

" Oh."

" OUCH! Sly boy!" I yelled as the bruise on my upper arm was being cleaned.

" It needs to be cleaned before the germs start affecting you." I looked at his eyes scanning the place where his hands would next place the soaked cotton and rub it there. He was so concentrated on the task. I couldn't help but smile.

" You know, take medicine as profession, you'll certainly be a good doctor." I finally voiced my thoughts.

" I was thinking of the same thing." He leaned in closer and got hold of my chin with two fingers and looked me in the eye with a smirk. " Maybe I should, as who knows what kind of trouble you might get yourself into in the near possible future." My whole face turned red when the words processed, especially at 'near possible future'.

" W-who said anything a-about a fut-ture?!" I squirmed away from him and looked away. I wasn't a person who liked talking about 'futures' and especially the kind of future he was referring to.

" Its obvious we can't stay like this forever-"

" Its too early to talk about that." I said quickly.

" No its not."

" Damn that Seiji. Awaking everyone's interest in marriages." I mumbled under my breath but well, I was sitting with an Uchiha, of course he got it.

" You're gonna have to face it someday."

" But not today, not tomorrow, not anywhere near after College."

" That's fine with me." I looked at him. " After all, what's the point of rushing to get something that's already mine." I gritted my teeth at his stubbornness to continue the topic.

" I'm nobody's, yet." I stood up and decided to make my leave but what Itachi said next made me stop.

" Are you scared?" I looked back at him but he wasn't looking at me.

"Yes." My voice came out so small that even I was shocked at it.

" Let me finish cleaning your arm." Guess it was a sensitive topic for him as well.

" I will clean it myself. Uncle's arriving soon, you might want to make your leave."

" Ah." He said and got up. When I thought he was gonna leave just like that, he instantly turned around and kissed me then looked at me again. " Make sure you clean it properly. I wouldn't want anything else to happen to my future wife." And he ran for the door.

My face burned again, not only from the embarrassment but also from anger.

" ITACHI YOU BETTER HAVE AN AMBULANCE FOR YOURSELF TOMORROW!!" I yelled but he was already out the door.

Damn him! I thought he was being serious of letting the topic go but no! He had to say that!! GRR!!

" What are you so worked up about? He was just asking your opinion about marriage." Konan asked when I had told her and Amalie about the happenings of three days before. It was a holiday so I invited them both to my house.

" I'm telling you it wasn't just 'asking for opinion'!"

" Then what?" Amalie pressed.

" I dunno!"

" Its nothing too big you know. I mean, Sasori had asked me plenty of times."

" Doesn't it feel..awkward to you?"

"No. We communicate through it like any other thing but still importantly."

" You're both weird." I told the girls bluntly.

" No, you are."

" How so? I think I'm pretty much the normal one here currently."

" You're thinking too much about it." Konan told me. There was a knock on my room door and I got up to get it.

" What?"

" Ann-tan I can't find anyone! You're my only lov-" I shut the door in Seiji's face and went back to sit with the girls on my bed.

" Seiji?" Konan asked.

" Whole reason for this mess."

" How come Konan knows everybody from your family?!" Amalie asked shocked.

" For starters, we've been best buddies since very early and well, I don't have a big family. Its easy to remember a small group."

" Oh."

" So I was saying, I mean, just accept it. You're going to have to marry someone, sometime!" Konan continued.

" Its weird to think about it, I'm telling you!"

" But just think about it, if Itachi's the one you wanna settle with in the future, would it really be that awkward?" Konan said.

" I'm not saying it would be. I don't know. But-"

" But what?"

" Its still....weird." She sighed. I couldn't voice my real thoughts.

" Leave it. Tell me is that girl really clingy?"

" That girl?" I asked. There were so many girls.

" That one whose name I don't know, who's Itachi's lab partner."

" Natsumi?"

" Ya, her."

" That bitch! I'm gonna throw acid on her someday!" Amalie started laughing.

" Do that!"

" I seriously will. She's just too casual with Itachi and he doesn't mind it!"

" He's kind. I don't think he likes offending people." Konan said.

" He is. But that doesn't give him the reason to allow such casualness, especially from that slut!" Konan gasped.

" She's going to make you her enemy at this rate."

" She already has."

" Ya, I forgot. You have already beaten her...?"

" Thrice."

" Dodgeball, volleyball, and....?"

" Badminton."

" Wow."

" Looks like she isn't going to back up."

" Wait a minute, is she trying to take Itachi from you?" Amalie asked in confusion.

" Yes. That's why I'm up for violence." She gasped. " But I would try not breaking a limb."

" OMG! She's totally trying to take your man away from you!!"

" Ya. But you should know, I ain't gonna give up my man to some whore. First come, first serve." I smirked.

"This girl," Konan started speaking, "who is willing to go to jail to save her boyfriend from the evil clutches of another, thinks it weird to marry him." I pouted.

"Now you're just making fun of me."

"Ne ne, where is Itachi?" Amalie asked. I shrugged.

"Must be with Shisui. He rarely is with me nowadays."

"And you are ok with it?" Konan said.

"Of course not. But when we do get time together, I don't want to spend it being angry at him for something I know he can't control." And I was sad again.-.-

Maybe both my ladyfriends sensed it. They suggested we leave the house for a while and go out for ice cream of something. I was more than willing to have my thoughts leave me alone.

Dark chocolate did cheer me up a little.
