Author Note: My second fanfic and as I said it's longer than my first one. First SasuHina, now ItaHina hope you like it. . Also, do not own Naruto though I wish did.
A seven year old Hinata slept peacefully in her futon when she woke to what she believed to be a tap on her window. She straightened up in a jolt and turned to the window to see a silhouette of what appeared to be a teenager. At first Hinata was scared but then the shadow became more familiar and then she eased up.
"Itachi?" Hinata then practically whispered as she rose from her futon and slowly approached the window.
She then opened the window and saw a young man about the age of thirteen with black hair in ponytail and onyx colored while also wearing what appeared to be red armor and his headband tied to his forehead. The first thought that came to Hinata is why Itachi was dressed like that. Is he going on a mission.
"Itachi, why are you here?" Hinata instantly asked.
Itachi's lips then curved to smile and he chuckled lightly, "Well hello to you too Hinata."
He then climbed into the window while patting Hinata's head. Itachi then walked to nearby wall and leaned his back against it while closing in eyes as though he was sleeping, a sigh then passing through his lips. Hinata knew that when Itachi did that is when he is upset. A look of worry came on to the small girl's face as she walked over to Itachi and grasped his hand.
"What's wrong Itachi?" she then asked while looking up to him.
Itachi opened his eyes and looked down at Hinata, "I came to say goodbye Hinata, I have to leave."
Soon a feeling of sadness and confusion came to Hinata, "W-Why?" she stammered with sadness clear in her tone.
Another sigh came through Itachi's mouth and kneeled to match Hinata's eye level, "Something happened and now I have to leave. Trust me, I don't want to go, but I have to."
He then put his hand on Hinata's head and then looked down but not enough to hide his eyes from view. Hinata took the chance to see that his eyes showed pain and sadness.
"B-But what a-about your family?" Hinata then asked after remembering Itachi's parents and younger brother Sasuke.
Itachi lowered his head even more, this time hiding his eyes from view, "I don't think they'll miss me." he then said.
"T-They're your family." Hinata replied with shocked eyes.
That's when Itachi looked up and smiled a sad smile, "I know, but I think they'll be better off without me just as you are better without me."
Hinata's eyes widened even more in shock, "W-Why would y-you say that?"
Itachi chuckled lightly and then pulled Hinata into a hug, "One day you will understand what I'm saying."
He then picked Hinata up and walked over to her futon. Itachi then placed her down on the futon and tucked her in. Hinata didn't do anything to stop him though since she found herself stunned a bit by the hug. All she did was look up at Itachi who still had a small sad smile on his face.
"Are you coming back?" Hinata just asked as she started to feel sleepy.
Itachi sighed and placed a hand on her head, "Maybe one day."
That's when Hinata finally fell asleep. Itachi sighed with relief and then gave Hinata a small kiss on the forehead.
"Goodbye." he then whispered and left
