the ground.

He nodded once and felt her hand being placed in the middle of his back. "Whatever happens k-keep your e-eyes on m-mine" She could feel the muscles on his back move against her hand and brought back her arm and covered her chest with both of her arms. "May I turn around now?" He asked quietly though he already had an idea why she had told him that.

"Yes" She squeaked once again and when he turned he couldn't help but pass his tongue over his lips at the sight of her. She didn't look at him in the eye which had let his eyes wander for a few seconds down her body before she noticed anything. Her pale arms had constricted themselves around her breast not only covering them from his view but pushing them up, making them look bigger then they actually were.

Following downwards all there was was smooth pale skin until he stopped, staring at the dainty white underwear that clung to her hips, the small bow on top of the hem making him stare. He saw her shift her leg, the small movement bringing him back to Earth. He looked straight at her eyes.

"Do you trust me?" He whispered, noticing how she shivered when he spoke to her. She nodded and he said, "Close your eyes" She hesitantly closed her eyes and when she did Itachi moved his hand to her lower back and moved her forward into the water.

Surprisingly it was warmer than water should be and when it was up to her naval he walked up behind her and whispered in her ear, "Open them" As soon as her eyes opened she gasped and couldn't believe her eyes. Around her body the water literally glowed a baby blue around her. She took out one of her arms and flicked her fingers just on the surface of the warm water.

"Amazing, is it not?" Itachi walked around her and looked at her fingers that looked as if they were dancing. Momo bobbed her head, to shocked and amazed to respond. Itachi moved back to the deeper part of the lake and she followed just as he had planned and now that it was up to her shoulders she waded in the water, her two arms keeping her afloat.

"How come the water glows blue?" She asked as she came closer. He took the hair tie out from his hair and dipped his head back allowing the black locks from his head glow blue at the ends. "Its all really simple. Microscopic bacteria react when something warm-blooded comes into the water and they start glowing blue. Natures way of giving a signal out"

Momo hummed in understanding as she looked around the small clearing. There weren't many trees around, just enough to camouflage the lake from any on looking eyes. "I-Itachi-sama..." She whispered, looking awestruck as she stared at him. "Yes?" He mumbled not looking away from her. "Y-your eyes... Their red"

His father had mentioned about something like this that would happen when he would get too riled up. Whether it was from combating or lust his sharingan was unstable now and he had no control over when it would show. He grabbed her right hand and brought her over to him, their bodies pressed against each other. He could suddenly feel her 'eyes', as Shisui had called them that day, harden against his chest and her blush deepened.

Her legs wrapped around his waist as her arms circled around his neck and held on for dear life. Itachi could feel the dainty fabric rub against his trunks. All of this was new to him and even though he found a few women in the village attractive he never associated with them or for the most, let them into his life as he did with Momo. Things had happened to fast for him to understand and he knew he didn't act like himself around her.

"Momo-san, tell me, do you know why your here?" She lifted her hand and passed it through his dripping bangs. He slowly moved around the lake, leaving a trail of baby blue around. "My Oto-san never specified my reason for being here. The day we made our way over here he just said, "I want you to be on your best behavior Momo-chan, you are the key to bringing the two clans together" and that was it. I would have thought you would have known more than me"

Itachi listened as she spoke. His father had not mentioned much to him either. All he had told him was that he had to do everything he could do to become good friends with the Ryuu girl and from there, if Itachi could do it, he would explain further. The two were clueless in what was really going on and that brought an image to Itachi's mind. They were two rats that were dropped in maze together and were to slowly dig out what their fathers had in plan for them.

"Unfortunately, I do not know much either" He said as he bowed his head and placed his forehead on her shoulder. He knew his senses were dull right now and he wasn't paying attention to the outside but he had done the smart thing and secretly made a shadow clone to guard the perimeter around them. She played with the ends of his hair and started to hum a song, whispering the lyrics.

Moshi ima kanashimi afureru nara
Watashi ni motarete naite ii kara

I get, I get, I get, get the feeling
I get, I get, I get, get the dreaming

He sighed happily, happiness and tranquility passed through his body at the sound of her voice. He would only admit it only in his thoughts not aloud but he had heard voices more beautiful than hers but just knowing it was her voice made him relax all his muscles, his mind, his thoughts.

Tada kono mama

Come my way
Kono yami no hotori
Come close to me
Ima akari tonoshi
I'll be with you, I'll be with you...
Tada soba ni iru kara

He turned her around, as if they were dancing, and swayed to the song, completely entranced in it. She continued her song until nothing was left but a soft humming near his ear. Her head had leaned on his and once the song had finished she looked over to him and couldn't help giggling. The great Uchiha Itachi had fallen asleep on her, his chest moved up and down slowly. Moving his long hair off his shoulder she rubbed his neck gently, a trick that her mother used to do to get her to wake her up. "Itachi-sama, I think it is best if we go"

He opened his eyes slowly, probably still thinking on how he had fallen asleep. Momo smiled when she saw him rub his eyes wondering how many people get to see this side of him. He silently groaned when he realized something. "I forgot to bring you a towel" He looked over to the shore where their discarded clothes were and made his way over close enough until his feet hit the ground in the water.

Itachi walked out of the water and grabbed his shirt, an idea coming to him. "Here, you can dry off with this" She seemed embarrassed that he had offered his shirt and quickly shook her head no. "Oh I couldn't Itachi-sama! You would go home wearing a damp shirt and that is bad for your health!" He sighed and smiled over to her. He grabbed her hand and pulled her out from the water, rubbing his shirt over her body. "Do not worry about me, I'll just go without one on" She blushed to the point her face resembled a cherry at its full color.

He grabbed her clothes and when sure there were no leaves or dirt he passed her her clothes. She thanked him and turned around, swiftly putting on her tank top first then more slowly her shorts. When she turned around to face him he was dressed already, pants on and shirt in his hands. "I suggest we move quickly, Sasuke likes to wake up very early in the morning sometimes" Momo climbed on his back and they made their way towards the Uchiha compound, skipping past the guards easily.

On the roof of Itachi's home he slid easily into her window and placed her on the chair next to her bed. "Thank you very much for today Itachi-sama" She smiled up at him as she stared into his red tinted eyes, a rush of excitement running through her. "Momo-nee-chaaan!" Sasuke's tired voice yelled out from his room. Itachi's eyes flickered quickly to her door and then to her, an all-knowing smirk on his lips.

"See what I meant?" She stood and quickly wrapped a kimono around her body and in one quick sweep she had made a bun on the top of her head. "Duty calls" She mumbled as she glided out the door.

But not until her fingertips lightly touched Itachi's before she left.

Chapter 5

"Ah, there we go!" Momo smiled as she had placed the last piece of clothing on the wire line. No one had been home today since Sasuke was off with a friend, Fugaku and Itachi had been gone on a mission for the past two weeks now, and Mikoto had stopped by her book club meeting. Even if Shisui had come and visited it just wasn't the same without Itachi there.

Ichi and Juu stood on one foot on the fence opposite from her, their other leg raised straight to the side. Momo stretched and looked around, wondering what other chore she could find to entertain herself with. Days without Itachi or Sasuke here were none to exciting so whatever she would find, she made it last.

"Ichi-san, Juu-san, would you like something to eat? I'm going to start on lunch" The two ninjas looked at her and silently shook their head. Walking into the house she was surprised when she entered the kitchen. There on the only window in the kitchen, lay a white, fluffy cat that didn't seem to have a care in the world. "Hello Neko-chan!"

Momo beamed at the yawning cat as she walked closer to it. The cat was pure white and had a very bushy tail, the pads on its paws were a light pink and its eyes a bright green. It stood up lazily and stretched its body right on the window sill. "I wonder do you have an owner, Neko-chan?" The cat, still stretching, peeked out of one eye and craned its neck.

Momo saw no collar and now knowing the cat was a street cat she clapped her hands together and laughed. "Neko-chan, may I be your owner?" The cat looked at her, not once blinking, and plopped its chubby body back down almost
