~Itachi's POV~

" Itachi, we would land in just a few minutes. I know you must be worried, but try to relax." My mother told me.

We were all in the flight back to Konoha and I couldn't stop worrying for Anna and it expressed itself in the form of my tapping fingers and feet.

" I'm trying."

Shisui had called me later the second day and told me that Anna still had that fever, I couldn't calm down. Still, there was some time before the plane landed so I tried keeping my nerves under control.

By the time the plane landed, it was 9 AM in Konoha and once we were done with all the security and stuff and out to the roads, I told my mother I would be taking a train directly to Anna's but my father seemed to object to that.

" Itachi, she isn't that important. Your rest comes first." He said in a really strict tone, the tone to which I must oblige always, but not this time.

" She is more important. I need to know and see for myself what her condition is."

" No."

" I won't be able to rest if I don't see her." I thought it would make a point but it didn't, so I resorted to my last weapon, my mom. I gave her a pleading look and she immediately understood and whispered something in his ear.

" Ok. Fine." My father sighed and I hugged my mother for a thank you and walked to the station which wasn't that far away.

When I knocked on the door, Max opened it and a grin made its way to his face.

" Itachi-nii!"

" I'd love to chat Max but I need to see Anna." His shoulders dropped and he pouted.

" Jeez, its like sis had a baby that's making you run to see her so urgently." He mumbled under his breath. I sighed and ruffled his hair.

"I would be there at that time. I won't have to run."

" Fine fine. I think she's asleep but I think she won't be." Max said leading me to Anna's room.

" What do you mean-"

" I'M GONNA KILL YOU UGLY!!" I stopped mid-question when I heard the familiar yelling from the girl's room, followed by a laughing Shisui exiting that room.

" I'd love to see you try!" He yelled back but as he turned around to descend the stairs, he came face to face with a not-so-impressed me. " Itachi! Good to see you're back. Your girlfriend seriously needs to see you man." He winked and left with Max who complained the way down.

Not wanting to waste anymore time, I increased my pace and arrived in Anna's room. The sight was very hidden. Actually she was hidden, in the covers.

I knocked on the door on my way in but didn't say a thing that would give away my identity.

" If its you again Ugly then prepare to die!" She yelled from beneath the covers.

" Ugly? I'm hurt."

" Stop mimicking him."

" Who's mimicking who?" I put one knee on the bed and advanced my hand to grab the sheet and yanked it in a swift motion. " I'm pretty sure I'm the original." I smirked at her surprised reaction.

" ITACHI!!"

" Yo." She jumped on me and hugged me tightly. " Yaa, I missed you too."

"I wanted to come to the airporttttttt sorryyy." Anna said in an apologising tone and sat back on the bed and I did too.

~Anna's POV~

"Its alright. Your fever isn't down still." Itachi said leaning on his elbow.

"Don't get too comfy! You'll get my fever too."

" I won't. Only idiocy is contagious."

" Ya, its the only thing you'll catch from me....... OI!!"

" You said it yourself."

" You tricked me into saying it."

" No, I didn't."

" Yes."

" Maybe the fever is getting to you now."

" Itachi, I know what I heard."

Immediately after the words escaped my mouth, he pushed me on the bed so my back was against it and the Uchiha hovered over me. A few minutes or more than that passed and we both kept staring in each others eyes. Then Itachi started leaning in.

As much as I wanted to kiss him, there was small part that worried about him getting sick as well. So I pushed him off and sat up.

" Baka, do you want to get sick too?!" I yelled pulling the sheets over me.

" Unlike some people in the room, I don't catch fevers too often." He grinned.

" Darn it! Stop pissing me off! It isn't my fault!"

" I know it isn't. You did everything on your part to avoid any sickness."

" Of course I did! I even had to hold back on cold showers."

" And you'd have to hold back for another few days."

" Oh man! I'll die!" I yanked at my hair.

" Not on my watch you won't."

" By the way, you should have changed into something comfortable. Doesn't it get irritating?" I pointed to the dress shirt and pants he was still wearing. " Hell, you didn't even untie the neck tie."

" You're right. It does get irritating." A smirked lightened his features as he got up and loosened the tie and threw it on the chair beside my dresser. Next he began undoing the buttons of the shirt. I was thankful for the red colour brought by the fever because it concealed the massive blush that was now forming. My eyes were glued to his body as the shirt was also throw to the side.

Where the hell is this going............??

I gulped and just stared at the perfectly toned chest of the Uchiha standing in front of me. I've seen him shirtless before but never looked too deeply. I was quite absorbed in the upper torso that when I heard a loud metal clink, my eyes widened and I screamed.

" ITACHI! STOP STRIPPING!!" Although the belt was off, my loud voice stopped his hands from going any further from the undid button of the pants.

" I'm just changing into something comfortable." He said innocently and I shot a pillow in his face.

" Then go change in the bathroom you idiot!!" I thought for a second then yelled again. " You didn't even bring a spare set of clothes! What were you gonna change in?!"

" This." He bent and picked the shirt which I brought from his house and had been using all the while he was gone. It was neatly folded and placed on a chair.

" Oi! I've been using that!"

" So?"

" Its....it...i-it-"

" It was in a human use, so its fine." That grin....

" N-no, I-I mean it could be-"

" Its fine." He said and slipped it on. I mentally cursed when the sight of a naked upper torso was clothed. " Now I feel sort of free."

" I want that back you know."

" I won't give it back."

" Hey! You said you were ok with it!"

" Reminds me, you clicked some pictures, must be in the laptop." He grabbed the device from my nightstand and sat beside me again, with both our backs against the bedpost. The moment the laptop displayed the desktop screen, Itachi looked at me with a raised eyebrow.

" I'm not sorry about this! I just felt like it had to be done!" I said laughing all the while. It was the picture of Itachi I had edited with Photoshop and inserted Mexican hat and moustache.

" I'm even more impressed now by your level immaturity."

" Your fault for downloading the software."

" I knew you'd take my laptop so I downloaded it for it to keep you company."

" Dude, don't say these things. You're coming off as that Aizen character in Bleach anime."

" Am I really?"

" Is your hidden desire to be a butterfly?" He looked at me awkwardly but answered nonetheless.

" No."

" Then you're not Aizen."

" I'm going to fake my relief now." Itachi said and started for the My Computer's option. " I see you added some folders."

" I felt like photoshoping things."

" Let's start with the A-Folder."

" Ya. Let's start with that." I smirked inwardly. That folder contained my selfies when I tried on different outfits. Actually 'A' stood for 'Anna'. Not ten seconds after browsing through that folder, Itachi shut down the laptop and wiped his nosebleed.

" I will go through that in my private time."

" You better. I'm getting sleepy."

"Then you should-" Something clicked.

"You idiot. You should have rested before coming here!" He gave me a look.

"If I hadn't known your condition, I wouldn't have been able to sleep."

"Well now you know."

"Yes. So I am going to sleep now." And he grabbed me tight and pulled the covers over us. -.-

He was tired from his journey and I was tired from not being able to sleep peacefully these past ten days, so each other's company was much welcome and we slept for twenty hours. It was fun.

" I CAN'T BELIEVE ITS THE REAL THING!! YOU EVEN GOT IT AUTOGRAPHED!" I was practically screaming in joy. Itachi had told me that he would hand me the souvenirs once my fever was down. He kept his promise and now I couldn't contain my happiness.

" I just know how much you admire Puyol." He said smiling.

" And not only the Spain one, you also got the Barcelona one. How did you manage?" I asked sitting on my bed and looking at the two jerseys of Puyol he got for me, autographed.

" Like I said, I know how much you admire Puyol."

" Thanks."

" N-"

" Itachi!!" My eye twitched in annoyance when I heard Shisui's voice outside my bedroom door, followed by loud banging.

" I'm going to kill him someday." I said viciously then opened the door. " I'm surprised your ugliness didn't melt the door down."

" Why are you always so mean?"

" Why are you always interrupting us?"

" I asked first."

" My answer was my question."

" Well its not my fault you both are constantly together. I can't even think of things you do while you're alone." He shrugged.

" You did not say that."

" I think I did." He smirked.

" Bad move Shisui. That was the last thing you would want to say." Itachi commented.

" What do you mean-ow!" I didn't give him time to ask and just kicked him where it hurts the most. He took a few steps back and kept quiet for the agony was too much.

" Now get out Itachi and listen to what he has to say." I said and backed from the door to give him some space.

" I doubt he'd be able to say anything now."

" His fault for pissing me off." I remarked and closed the door behind him. Looking at my bed and the spread out jerseys, you sighed and picked them and hanged them in a hanger in my wardrobe. " What did he want?" I asked Itachi when he came back and made his way beside me.

" He couldn't talk at first but then he spilled."

" Spilled what?"

" I'm not telling you." I pouted.

" Itachi! Tell me!" I said pulling on his sleeve. He smirked.

" Don't act like a spoiled kid. I can't give you anything you want."

" And what have I ever asked from you?" He went into thought.

" My bad. You're not a normal girl and you don't ask anything from me."

" Good thing you realized that before I stopped your daily dango dose." He made a surprised/sad face. " Who's spoiled now?" I stuck my tongue out but didn't notice him coming closer and when he bit it, it retracted it back in my mouth with a heavy blush. " Hey! Don't bite me!" He didn't say anything but kissed me lightly and in response I wrapped my arms around his neck and deepened it.

It might have started off as light kisses but ended with a lot of bites and ragged breathing from both of us. Neither of you wanted to let go but some air was much needed. We both pulled back and rested our foreheads against each others, staring and smiling all the while. I had missed this kind of affection, moreover I had missed the things he did to show his love for me. Even though they were small and others might not see it, but for me, it was as present as the stars in the sky.

" I love you, Itachi." I said a little while after staring in Itachi's eyes.

" I love you, Anna." He said back and leaned for another kiss and the games began again.
