The worst choice I ever made was letting her go.

I shouldn't have hurt her like that.

I should have held her close.

But no.

I had to break her heart.

Now, as I watch her with him, I know how I feel.

And it hurts.

"Itachi- kun?" asked my best friend, Ayu Namikazi.

"Hn?" I said.

"I have to say something to you."

"?" I waited. Expecting another lash out at her dead father or her anger at me for making her come to the Akatsuki with me when she followed me here. I was not expecting a full-out confession.

"I am madly in love with you. I've loved you since we were put on a team together. I've tried to resist my heart so you wouldn't feel awkward, but I sure about this a-a-and I-I h-have t-t-t-to k-k-know i-if y-y-you f-feel the-the same." She said, her voice betraying her at the end. I turned and set my hands on her shoulders. How do I say this gently? I asked my self. I inhaled.

"Ayu," I said, hopes began to fill her eyes. A deep sorrow for her filled my heart. "I'm sorry, but I cannot return your feelings. You are a sister to me. It would be… wrong to tell you that I had strong feelings for you. I'm sorry." I turned away from her as tears began to swell in her eyes. I heard a hurt gasp as she ran out of the room. After an hour, I walked past her room and heard her cries. I was angered. She was a strong one. She cannot cry over something as meaningless as love! I heard Hidan shushing her as she sobbed, asking if he could help. I found this a wonder. It was not in Hidan's nature to be caring. I lied in bed and listened to her cries be calmed. Through the thin walls, I heard the conversation between the two.

"I spent my entire life on him! I gave up my father's trust because I loved him so much! I hated him for making me love him! Now he doesn't care that he dragged me here after everything we've been through! He won't think twice! I've decided I'm going home tomorrow!" She said.

"Why?" Hidan asked.

"So I can get strong enough to send him to the devil myself!" She said, angry with me.

"You don't have to leave to get stronger than him. I'll train you. It's not strength you want, though. You just want to get away from him." Hidan pointed out.

"Like hell I do!" She said. Hidan shushed her.

"You'll get over it. Soon, you will look at him and see the fool he is and laugh at your self and ask how you could have ever loved someone as pathetic as him." Hidan comforted. I rolled over in my bed.

"Hn, idiots. Love is a waist of time." I muttered more towards myself than them. No one needs love to be strong. Love is for family. No one needed to love another other than to continue the clan. Love is unnecessary.

End chapter one! Ohmygosh I cannot wait to get chapter two up! Will Itachi change his mind? Will Ayu-Chan leave? What's up with Hidan? All of the answers lie in the next chapter(s)! LOL Review please!
