17. The trouble commence

"Yes! That's what I heard while I was passing by the Hokage's office-"

"You.. eavesdropped on the Hokage?" I asked, wanting to switch the situation. "I knew you had unprofessionalism in you but to be this low?"

The moment got dense as I stared straight into her eyes as she stood there in disbelief. "Manaki, you should leave.." Sakura said, getting a hold of her arm which was swatted away by her soon enough.

I glared at her as she scoffed, "Why? Does it hurt? To see her with some-"

"Manaki!" I stopped her, fuming with anger as her face twitched, covering it up with laughter.

"Sensei!" She continued laughing, before showcasing a smug on her face as she added, "Look at you.. so unprofessional in your work,"

That's it. I won't deal with her anymore.

I got up, turning to Sasuke. "Complete your session and call it a day. I need to put someone back in their place," I said, as my gaze faced her. "You asked for it,"

Y/n

I sighed, fixing my tote bag while walking down the street. The Hokage tried his best to not make me feel tensed or awkward but it wasn't something to not feel such a way. I truly wanted to help but committing to someone to help with a dispute that can be maybe fixed? I don't know.

He said it wasn't for the silent fight but for my safety too. I get everything but does Itachi want to get married? If it's something we both agree on, maybe we can come to a valid conclusion.

I got lost in my thoughts that the view in front that unfolded didn't catch my attention. I looked up and noticed a familiar white head coming my way. My pace slowed down as I stared at him.

A girl rushed towards him, getting a hold of his hand. I couldn't help but stare at the scene. He yanked his hand out and got a hold of her arm. She seemed to be in visible pain, making me walk forward.

The girl was the first to notice, followed by Kakashi. He looked briefly at me, making our eyes meet. He looked back at the girl he had a hold of. "I've had enough of your bullshit. I thought you would keep it low from the last time I warned you, but look at you?"

I didn't dare to speak but observe. The girl cried, covering her face as I stood there oblivious. "I don't wanna sound like a bother, but is everything okay?"

"Y/n, we can talk about this later."

"Oh?" The girl started, making us look at her, "You're the one?"

"Me..?" I looked at Kakashi, making him look at me.

"Y/n, please leave. We will talk about it later. There's so much to talk about right?" He said, eyes smiling. I couldn't help but be taken aback by the gesture. I hesitantly nodded, briefly taking a glance at the girl before smiling at him and leaving.

As I was leaving, I heard the girl speak again," Why is she back? Why? WHY?!" I shut my eyes, feeling a different wave of emotions. The emotions that were surpassed long ago. Unsettling, Burdened and Not welcomed. But Kakashi said he would explain everything to me later, so I can ignore these remarks for now. I had no idea what I did to the girl but the grudge towards me felt overpowering.

"Y/n-san!" I heard a voice call out as I passed the field entrance. It was Sasuke. He came running towards me, greeting me politely. "What's happening? I heard the Third offered you to marry Itachi?"

"Huh? How do you know"

He pinched his nose bridge, "So it is true," He said, sighing. "Manaki told us. She's one of the seniors of us. She must have overheard while passing by the Hokage's office, she's simply bad news.." He informed, making me wonder if was she the one I encountered.

I looked down, feeling a sense of disappointment from Sasuke because of the news. He caught onto that. "You're a thousand times better than that emotionless douchebag, you deserve better so just reject the offer. He never had a single girlfriend, everything he ever had was a little crush on this woman but couldn't man up and ended up losing her. He's slow and whatnot," He said, with evident annoyance and disappointment for Itachi.

I smiled at him, "It's okay, I haven't decided yet and yeah. I am just the same as your brother,"

"At least you're sweet and know how to make someone feel better. Well, actually.." He started, adding, "he might become bearable if you marry him.." He said, followed by a low hum.

I softly laughed.

"What are you two talking about?" And the man decided to appear.

Sasuke scoffed, rolling his eyes at him before turning to me. "Alright then. I'll get going, y/n-san," He said, as I nodded.

I faced Itachi with a smile his eyes stayed on his brother for a moment before he looked back at me. "Hello," I greeted. He greeted back with a smile.

We stood there for some time, feeling the long pause. "Where were you headed?" I decided to break the ice.

"Mom asked me to check on Sasuke. He had a nasty temper before leaving over some stuff but he seems alright," He said, nodding. His eyes turned to look at me, "What about you?"

"Umm about to head back home quickly and get some rest before my night shift," I said, pursing my lips. He nodded.

"Sure then. I won't hold you, have a good rest," With that, he left before me and I turned around, watching his back go further away.

It would be awkward and weird to marry you.

"Manaki??" The girl barged inside the room, huffing. She stood at the doorway, looking at the girl who seemed unimpressed by her arrival.

"Why are you here?" She said, taking a glance at the girl who seemed to be holding back her laughter. "Yeah, yeah. Laugh all you want," She said, making the girl let out a chuckle.

"Dumb girl. I was truly worried," She entered the room, locking the door behind.

"How come Kakashi sensei finally burst? I thought he liked you back and that's why said nothing. Did he find you with someone else and it was the jealousy that made him-"

"Stop feeding me with more delusions Kagury," Manaki said, going back to resting her head. "and no, that wasn't the case. His love interest is getting-" She stopped, coming to light about the entire situation. Y/n was not only Kakashi's weakness but also almost Itachi's soon-to-be wife.

Kagury looked at her with a smile, raising her eyebrow, "What happened?"

"Oh Lord-.. This bitch is.. behind our men,"
