Two Hearts

Chapter 1

'How ironic it is to feel this floating emptiness around me...'

"Crash!"

'Hm...? Loud noise... Screaming... But at who?...Or...What? A boy. He seems to be calling out to me...'

"Wake up! Please, Naru! Don't do this to me!"

'Me...? Why is he... calling out to me?... Am I... dead?...Hm... I should ask him...'

"Please!" the boy shouted. The girl he held was clutched tightly to his chest as he gave a grieving sob, "I need you! We're soulmates, remember?! If you die, we'll both be alone for eternity!"

'I can't seem... to open my... eyes. Please!... Who... Are you?'

Very slowly and painfully she opened her eyes. Bright light blinded her and she glared through it to look at the boy. Raven hair tied in a pony tail... Onyx colored eyes... Lines on his face as if... As if he never got enough sleep.

He wore a midnight blue colored shirt and white shorts. Nothing too fancy. Something that she found nice and simple about the boy. His onyx eyes were glazed over with tears but she could tell he never cried unless it was for someone really important... 'But who was really important to him...? Me?...' she thought.

In a husky voice she managed to speak to him. "Who.. Are you?"

The boy jumped when he heard her voice. He quickly looked her over then met her eyes. When he spoke, it was in a hushed whisper. " Naru... What are you talking about?...It's me... Itachi. Itachi Uchiha?" He gently stroked her face with his left hand and held her up with his right. He was in a crouched position Naru noted. Or kneeling.. One of them anyway. She looked around and saw that they were outside. Somewhere grassy... With big, old trees. A forest maybe? Naru looked back at the boy known as Itachi.

"..I...It..Itachi..." She said slowly blinking trying to clear her mind. But that was hard she figured out. It was misty and cloudy. Something was blocking out the boy and some very important memeories.

"Naru..." Itachi said.

Naru's heart gave a great big thump inside her chest when he said her name. 'Do i have feelings for him...? How? We just met. Or maybe... I've forgotten everything... My mind is drawing a big blank but my heart responds to his voice, touch, and... smell..?' Naru thought looking down at his hand. She could smell something. Him. And something sweeter underneath the skin.... Blood. The sweet succulent thing that gave life to her. And maybe even Itachi.

"You smell... Sweet. And there's-" Naru didn't finish her sentence as Itachi made a sweeping motion of his finger along the side of his neck. After a second, blood welled up and slid down in a fine line along his neck.

"Drink." Itachi commanded.

Naru looked from his face to his neck and back again. He gave her a reassuring look and then Naru wasn't so hesitant now. She slowly lifted her face up to the wound and placed her mouth against it. As soon as her lips touched the blood something unexplained happened to her. Her mind, which had been cloudy before, was now clearing up and she could think.

'Itachi Uchiha... My soulmate. How could I have forgotten all about him? He was the one who taught me how to live again...! In a world that hated and despised creatures like me and him. He gave me meaning and helped me stop slaughtering innocent people when I lost control.' She remembered everything. All the happy moments and some very horrible ones.

When Naru had gotten her fill of blood she looked up into Itachi's eyes. "Itachi... Itachi, it's really you!" Naru said eyes filling. There was a big hole in her heart as she looked at him. 'How had he felt when I'd forgotten about him? I wonder if... I can fill the hole in both our hearts?'

"I'm so sorry! I-I forgot about you! I knew there was something about you I remembered. Your eyes, your hair, and even your face!" Naru sobbed on him. She wrapped her arms around him and held him tightly as if he would vanish. He did the same thing to her and buried his face in her long, golden colored hair. He felt so strong, safe, protective, and caring.

"Crunch!"

"Nngh!" Naru quickly looked up and glanced around. Itachi did the same and looked at a bush that was only 20 feet away from them. While they had been having a little moment, someone or something had decided to crash their reunion.

Itachi stood up slowly while he gently started placing Naru behind him in a protective stance. His body went tense and he took in a deep breath as he started gathering energy.

'Don't be afraid, Naru. I'll take care of this.'

Naru was taken aback by this. He could talk to her in her mind but.. HOW? 'Was it the power or could he do that all along?'

Then a figure emerged from the bushes. Nothing could be seen from him except his black outline. Judging from it, Naru guessed it was male. 'And an aggressive male too.' Naru thought. How could she tell? She wasn't sure herself but it had always been a part of her; telling if someone was angry, depressed, sad, happy, or any other mood. Right now though it was screaming with aggression and rage.

"Who are you?" Itachi shouted to the man.

"Heheh. Isn't it obvious?" The mysterious male said.

There we go! Please R & R! More is hopefully on the way if I get enough time. My brother hogs the computer a lot so... *sigh* Make sure to check out my other ItaxNaru story!
