Chapter 63
You were stunned.
You gritted your teeth and stand up, quickly head to the exit door. But Itachi was fast to grasp your wrist lightly as he doesn't want to hurt you but strong enough to stop you from walking away.
You yanked your hand a few times but Itachi was stubborn. Your emotions was surging greatly so you keep on gritting your teeth, not wanting to let your emotions take over your words and conscience. At the same time, you don't want to hurt him too.
"Where were you going, (y/n)?" He asked, full of sincerity in his voice.
You closed your eyes and look away, still trying to get away from his grasp. You look at Makoto who was not far away from you and he noticed your signal. He quickly button on his suit and went to assist you.
He grips Itachi's wrist while staring at him intensely, murmuring "Let go", slowly but loud enough for the other Uchiha to hear it.
"But-"
Makoto took a glance at the security and they seem to understand it, wanting to join in the group as well. At this point, the manager and a few staffs also aware with what is happening and Itachi know about your high profile so he doesn't want to be a nuisance to you. He let go of you slowly and you quickly went away.
When you reached the exit door, the manager chased after you and bowed at you, apologizing.
"You've done nothing. So keep on your hard work." You said to him.
He still in his bowing position, "D-Do I need to chase that gentleman away, Hatake-sama?"
"If he made a ruckus. He didn't, right? So, do I still need to pull on order?" You glared at him.
He shivers that his knees almost betrayed him, "N-No, Hatake-sama. This lowly one understood, Hatake-sama."
You roll your eyes and walked into your car.
Itachi in the restaurant was still confused with the situation while Makoto told the security guard to always observe the restaurant properly and told them to get lost. He turned to face Itachi and pull him lightly to sit with him and Sasori.
Makoto poured some wine for him but Itachi just take tea. Makoto almost forgotten about his low tolerance for alcohol and sit up straight again. Sasori on the other side just sit obediently at the corner.
Itachi look at the red head and sighed, "I don't know what you have been through in the prison but you've changed, Sasori."
Sasori look at him like he's crazy, "Are you talking to a mirror? You're blunt as hell, Itachi."
Makoto cleared his throat and look at Itachi again, "Itachi-san, you didn't utter about Ane-san's father, right?"
"I did..."
Makoto lean over and sighed. "Don't mention about Kakashi-san ever again. It's a complicated- no. It's her privacy." Makoto tilted the corner of his lips a bit, nodding to himself, satisfied with the word of his choice just now.
Sasori who wants to know what happened quickly butt in, "What do you mean? Did she had a fight with her father? No way, right?"
Itachi was silent. He actually agree with Sasori since he knows very well on how close you were with your father and how he treats you like a precious gem. However, from your act just now, it is possible that you and your father is in a huge quarrel at the moment.
Makoto look down and try his hard to be indifferent like how he used to be but when it comes to you, his beloved sister... It is a bit hard to conceal his true feelings. "I can't tell you anything if she didn't tell you herself."
"It's not like we want to harm your sister...beside, she's strong enough to beat ten muscular men without any help. It won't hurt to tell us about what happened. Can't you see, we are best friends!" Sasori told Makoto.
Makoto sighed again. He can't even count how many times he sighed like there's no tomorrow now. "I owe her my life. I won't even be alive if it is not for her, Sasori-san, Itachi-san. And if she doesn't want to tell, I won't too. I don't want to make her upset."
Itachi taps Sasori's shoulder a few times and nod at Makoto. He felt a bit sad with how Sasori is acting... He have been through so much that he's being not like his usual self.
After a brief of silence, the manager came to their table and asked, "Do you need anymore service, gentlemen?"
The three of them look at each other and shook their head. Itachi was the one who wants to show his gratitude at this point.
"Please put them on my tab."
The manager's face clearly turned white as a corpse after hearing that. "S-Sir... please don't do that... I-I still want to work here...", he pleaded pitifully.
Makoto once again sighed and chase the manager away before standing up. "What's the point of being a boss if you still have to pay for the food?"
Both Itachi and Sasori was puzzled.
"This is Ane-san's restaurant. Who ever come here with her, you're actually receiving a good blessings from her."
***
When you're heading to your company building, you saw a mass group of reporters in front of the glass door with five security guard in black suits, black sunglasses and an earpiece each was struggling to keep them away from entering.
You sighed and march to the door. The guards are trained well, upon hearing your heels clacking, two of them quickly went to escort you while the other three try to make away across the sea of reporters to make sure you can enter the building.
After passing the glass door, a cool breeze from air conditioner greets you. It is cold day but somehow, you felt hot when you saw that crowd of people at your property.
Soon, your secretary, Konan walked hurriedly to you and greeted you. You just nod and went straight to your office. After relaxing yourself on your chair, Konan still standing in front of your desk.
"Hatake-san, the reporters, what do you want to do with them? It seems like what Madara told them is still on fire." She asked you politely.
You tap your chin a few times, thinking what you should do. Plus, you don't want to let Madara have his own way like this. Thinking about this making you feel mad, you balled your fist and slammed the desk.
"That old hag, he is just waiting for death! Why does he wants to claim that he made me pregnant?! With his age right now, he can't even get it up! No way in pleasing himself of making a woman pregnant! That fool..." You finally vent out your anger a little bit.
Konan just standing there like a pretty doll as always, still waiting for your answer.
"What do you think, Konan? Should I make a press conference tomorrow to deny Madara's confession about me? Do I have anything on my schedule tomorrow?" You asked while looking through the files that was stacked neatly on the table.
"Press conference sounds good, Hatake-san. Other than a meeting with the Hyuga Co. tomorrow...you have nothing in your schedule, Hatake-san."
You nod at her while turning on the CPU, glancing over the files that indicates your work. "But I still have a lot of things to arrange, huh?"
Konan sighed too, "Unfortunately, yes, Hatake-san."
You felt tired for sighing too much now and just let Konan sit at her desk to let her continue her work.
Not long after while you're still checking the files, another two person come into your office, it was Zhao Yun and Akizaki.
"You're back, boss!" Akizaki greeted you and he quickly sit on your desk.
Konan cleared her throat as a signal but Akizaki doesn't seem to bother with it.
"I hope you're recuperating well, Hatake-sama." Zhao Yun said while bowed down politely.
You nod, still checking the files and push Akizaki away from your desk. "What is it?"
"Boss, the kids! They're giving us a lot of trouble now!" Akizaki voiced out.
You look at them, waiting for the other one to explain.
"They were absolutely fine before but... there's a few incident occured at The Elements and makes them fight." Zhao Yun explained.
You stopped on your track and fully focused on them. "What kind of incident are that?"
"First, the Fire Gang's base was attacked and they found the mark left by the attacker. The attacker was from the Cool Water. I investigate it and the leader told me that someone from the Fire Gang stole something from them."
You listened to him intently, not wanting to disturb him in his explaining, you just nod.
"None of the Fire Gang confess to this accusation. Then, Earth Boys have a fight with Fire Gang as well when a guy suddenly was messing up with and a member of Fire Gang saved him."
You sighed... "Go on."
"Then, after being settled, the Earth Boys seems to lay low since they have some exams I think... Then, there's a rumor that the Windy Gale is... playing with drugs..."
You shot your eyes at Zhao Yun. "Then, the Fast Lightning?"
"T-They...have a few police cases now since their leader have been out of prison..." Zhao Yun was a bit scared at this moment after looking you so furious like that.
"Boss, let me crush them into tiny bits!"
"Akizaki, not now, please..."
After being shot with your murderous look, Akizaki also keep his mouth shut now.
You look back at Zhao Yun and said, "Tell those leaders to meet me as soon as possible. Especially the one from Fast Lightning."
Both Zhao Yun and Akizaki bowed at you before leaving your office.
"Everything is in uproar now...Itachi also beat some of our colleagues before, barging in just like that... But if we hurt him, it will cause a bigger trouble anyway..." Konan mutters.
You sighed at her words and continue with your work.

Itachi stepped into his working place and closing the door of his office with a sigh. The name plate on his desk has his name with the title detective on it. Other than the name plate, of course it was stacked with files. He just come here but he already have one of the most 'not wanted' case for the whole police to handle.
"A case which involves a lot of aristocrats is the worst..." He sighed.
He doesn't have any chance to place himself on his chair yet but there's a knock on the door. He doesn't even give the permission to come in the that person already barged into his office.
"Itachi! Where have you been? You know the chief has been throwing deadly questions at me?! Where did you sleep last night?"
Itachi sighed and sit on his chair, leaning at the headrest. "(y/n)'s apartment".
Shisui almost spit out blood upon hearing that answer. "You're a real man, Itachi... You just came back and you already-"
"I went to her company building too... Most of it was so odd." Itachi rants.
"You mean that RedMoon? It is a bit odd to be honest..." Shisui agreed with him.
"I can say that most- no. All of the employees there know how to fight, martial arts or street fight, they're pretty adapt towards the adrenaline of danger... it's pretty odd for a company that produces technology supplies..."
"Hhmm...that company is odd despite it's honourable achievements. They have two factories for producing, not much but pretty amazing for the first generation. A lot of skilled and genius engineers and computer nerds were in that company. But there is where the odd is..." Shisui told Itachi while giving a few brochures about your company.
Itachi lift his eyebrows, questioningly, "What is it?"
"All of the workers have criminal or juvenile records."
