STEEL LOVE
I was gone, nothing and no one could stop me. Digging my toes inot the ground I push off again, continuing my sprint into the dark woods. Dark, same as my life.. My body aches and screams at me to stop but I don't… I push past my limits ad keep running. Red…I need to see that blood red on black..my sanity… The blackness of the woods has surrounded me, and the smell of the heavy smoke was growing stronger. "Itachi," I mumble to myself. I see the candle lights flickering from the windows as I approach the lone house. Pushing open the door I quickly step inside anxious to see him. Before I could react I was up against the wall as a low growl escaped the lips of my captor. "Ita-please.." I whisper feeling the coolness of his blade against my throat. He snapped his wrist away from my neck dropping the knife. "I'm so sorry Hina," he whispered cupping my face in his warm hands. My lavender eyes boar into his mesmerizing red and black blended eyes. I've missed you soo much.. My tiny arms wrapped around his bare abdomen pulling him to me as his arms wrapped around me, and his chin came to rest on my head. I breathe in his musky scent, closing my eyes finally feeling safe, and content. "How did you convince the king to let you leave?" he asked quietly, lifting me up bridal style and carrying me to his bed. "He didn't…I just left…" Tears welled up in my eyes as I finally thought of the consequences of my actions. "You just started a war Love.." The warm salty water fell. "I know…can you run?" I whisper. Shaking his head no, and giving me the answer I already knew, he leaned down and kissed my head. Pushing my black bangs from my eyes he wiped away my tears. "We'll pull through Love." Worry moved in and settled in my cold heart. "But you'll have to fight…there is no avoiding that." He grits his teeth in anger, knowing the truth I speak. I doomed the one I love…ignorant… "Don't hate yourself Hinata…I would gladly go to war fro you." My eyes closed slowly hearing this. "But I want to be with you..I'm tired of the distance, and this war will pull us apart yet again." My voice broke at the end of this. Opening my eyes I see the fear in his eyes then it turns to anger, but not directed at me. Quickly he shifted me off his lap and stood. "Someone's here..stay put."
I slowly curl up on the bed shifting my gaze to the sheathed sword in the corner of the room. He can handle it Hina…he's made it this far, I try to tell myself. He wouldn't own that sword unless he could fight and survive. Voices echo back to the room as I lay quiet and listen. "Itachi Uchiha, you are called to duty. Hinata Hyuuga has left Athens and the confines of her castle. King Toby of your Akatsuki Kingdom is in beliefs that the Athenian King is merely hiding his daughter from him. He is demanding war to retrieve his soon to be wife, Hinata, from Athens." My stomach twisted and my pulse increased as my urge to vomit increased. "I understand..I will report to duty by dawn," Itachi responded. Sobs leaked out of my parted lips as tears fell and soaked into his deep red sheets. Will we ever be together? Why do the gods continue to hate me? Hate us? The door shut and Itachi walked into the room. "My Love?" Steadily he walked towards me, his black cloak swaying behind him. Laying next to me he pulled me into his arms. "I won't let Toby have you.." Those words struck hard as chills ran up my spine. "He's your King, you follow is orders Ita..and my King wants the war to never happen so he wants to give me to Toby." A growl rumbled in his chest. "Your father is a .." , "Please don't call him my father..I might be of the Kings blood..but I will never be his daughter. A father would never be willing to sacrifice his daughter to a monster..even to protect his country," I spat out in anger. Bowing his head a bit in understanding, he agreed. "Your…King…is a coward and so help me, he will perish on my sword for your freedom. And my King will never lay a mere finger on your precious, golden soul." Itachi.. My eyes watered but I blink back the tear. "You would die before you got that far Itachi.." His eyes flashed to pain a bit. "Do you not have faith in my strength? In my love? In me?" he questioned hurt by my comments. I love you but you're talking about taking on two empires single handedly.. "I do have faith in you but-" ,"No but," he stated cutting me off. Biting my tongue I refrain from commenting.
Silence washed over us, as I laid beside him enjoying the feel of his company. I have missed this so much, let me hold on to this one night until we have forever..Feeling him shift I look up past his chiseled abs and toned chest to his square jaw then to his eyes. My thoughts became jumbled as the red and black took my breath away as I feel like I'm staring into his soul. So perfect…my warrior…my lover bathed in crimson and black..He blinked and my trance stopped and I was able to breathe again. How he does that I will never know.. "You're tired," he whispered with his deep voice, pointing out the obvious black bags beneath my eyes. I know I'm tired but this is our last night together, and our first night together… "Ita I haven't seen you in two months, and your leaving my tomorrow. I don't want to sleep." A sigh escaped his lips and filled the air between us. "You haven't properly slept in months, you're running on pure adrenalin..please get some sleep tonight while you're safe and you can sleep.." My mouth slowly opened to protest but instead I just sighed. Once again I swallow my pride, refusing to start an argument I curled up on my side with my head buried in the crook of his neck. ..Mom you were right, I did find why you left..I found my reason to leave too "I love you Itachi Uchiha," And with that my eyes fluttered closed and I the warm, strong embrace of my dark warrior I drifted to sleep.
"Hinata, this is King Toby," my father stated pointing to the orange haired, average height man, with perfect scarless skin and a bright gleam in his eyes. He's to 'perfect'…Ita is the only one.. My thoughts drifted to the tall, dark haired, battle scarred man I fell in love with despite anyones beliefs. "Hinata, you and Toby will be having dinner tonight. I have sent a servant up to your room to prepare you." Nodding my head I turn my back on the disgusting Toby and my hateful King. Walking up the stairs I follow the stone hall to my room. Opening the door I walk in to see a petite pinkette sitting on my bed. "Saku!" I gasp shutting the door and running into her open arms. "Hello Hina..I mean, My Lady.." she responded bowing slightly. A giggle erupted from my throat as my best friends sarcasm. "You only have to say that in front of others Saku"
My eyes drift open in the darkened room. "Good morning Love," whispered a deep voice in my ear. "Good morning Ita." I lifted my head up to look at his grinning face. That smile… "You must have slept well since you were smiling half the night. Anything special?" he asked. "Saku.." I whispered. "I was dreaming of my escape and it involved you…an Saku." Surprisingly Itachi nodded his head in understanding. Silence fell between us as my hand reached up to play with the nape of his neck. After a few minutes the silence broke. "Dawn is but an hour away..I must leave darling.." My stomach knotted at his words. No..Not yet…Softly and carefully her pried himself from my grip and stood. Removing his cloak, he was clad in just his underwear. Pulling on shin guards, then arm guards and placing on his steel skirt and his chest plate he prepared to leave. He walked to the corner of the room lift his sword. He placed that to his hips and strapped it on. Standing I walk over to him, pulling him into a hug. He placed his hands on my hips gently lifting me on my toes. Leaning his head down he brushed his lips against mine leaving a sweet chaste kiss on my lips before pulling away. A tingle shot up my spine as the want to keep him here grew stronger. "When I return you will be free Love, I love you." And with that, he left closing the door behind him as my tears formed and spilled. Please..come back Love…
