I do not own pic!
"Very good [name], we will continue tomorrow with the weapons", Itachi said, getting up and retrieving all the kunais from their targets.
"But it's still a bit early to head back now", you said, as you took a rest leaning against a tree.
"Yes I know, I want to try something else...", he trailed off as you looked up at him, something else?
"What would that be, Itachi?"
"Let me see how strong you are", he said with a smirk.
"You mean hand to hand combat?", he nodded at you, as you raised an eyebrow.
"It won't be a full exercise, I just wanna check up your level", he said as you stood up straight.

"Alright, should we start now?", you asked and he nodded, holding his open palm for you to punch it.
"Hit it as hard as you can", he said, as you waited not time and launched your fist at him, you hit him, and there was no sign of pain on his face.
"Don't hold back [name], harder!", he said, not happy with the power you hit his palm with, you can do better.
"Fine!", you punched him, as hard as you can, making him slightly shake as he smirked, good.
"Again", he said and so you hit him, over and over again with both fists,  as he blocked your fist everytime.
"You're not bad, but you still need to train", he said as you panted.
"When?"
"Hm...maybe we can practice ninja weapons at morning, then at the afternoon we do some taijutsu", he said, crossing his arms over his chest.
"Okay, so for now...can we do some more?", you asked, standing straight after taking a little break.
"Yes, [name], don't just punch my palm this time but attack me as you want", he said in a stern voice as you nodded.
He was avoiding your punches easily, dodging them or deflecting them, while you tried more, trying to hit his chest or stomach, the more he smirks at you, the more you get more determined, yet you couldn't reach for him, after all, this is Itachi.

"That's enough for today", he said, catching your forearm in the air stopping you from punching him, before he pulled you then closer to him and wrapped his other arm around your waist.
"I-Itachi what are doing?", you muttered, blushing from the closeness, looking at his pretty eyes and hoping no one is watching you...or maybe...let them watch.
"I just...like to hold you close", he said, with a smile, as he then let go of your forearm, then hugged you which you returned pleasantly.
"What about the others? What if someone see us?", you asked, as he pressed your head against his chest.
"Let them see...", he said smirking, kidna surprising you.
"So you're saying Itachi is on a secret relationship with [name]?", the man with orange mask, said as Zetsu told him about what he have seen, not just a hug but they share the same room and maybe the same bed, and [name] seemed to be so easy around Itachi, while the Uchiha pays much attention to her...
"What should we do?", Konan said, looking at the orange haired man, Pain.
"As long as they accomplish their work and don't let this have an impact on it, it's okay", Pain said as the blue haired woman seemed slightly surprised, "we don't care what they do with their personal lives as long as they accomplish their missions", he added while the masked man then said:"that might be actually in our benefit, the other members will not keep their eyes on [name] and focus more, and also...their might be other results for this relationship"
"I didn't know Itachi would want to revive his clan since he was the one who killed them all", Konan said in response to what the masked man said, he looked at her then said:"maybe reviving the clan isn't his reason for this, that doesn't matter to us, what matters is our plans and the Akatsuki".

You headed back to the hideout, after having dinner you laid down on the bed, Itachi  was reading a book and asking you questions about seals, to see if you still remember what you have studied which you did, after a while you two slept to get some rest for a new day tomorrow.
