Took me a hell of a long time to get back to writing but here it is! Comment subscribe gimme some feedback :) Read After School for the main plot and lead up! This is a sequel ending for Itachi x Hinata ending! Enjoy xx

Hinata woke up with a banging headache from yesterday nights party. It was her first proper hangover, she never imagined alcohol could make someone feel this sick. Trying to regain her balance, Hinata sat up and took a deep breathe to stop herself from throwing up. Looking around the brightly lit room, she could tell she slept through the whole night. Sitting at his desk across from her was the devilishly handsome Itachi. Even in the mornings he looked good. Hinata felt slightly exposed still wearing the skimpy outfit she wore yesterday. Pulling the blanket up to cover her exposed chest and stomach, she turned her attention towards Itachi who was immersed in a book by the window.

"g-good morning, Itachi.. Thank you for taking care of me yesterday. D-did I do anything w-weird?" She trailed off awkwardly still unable to look him In the eyes.

Itachi chuckled softly at her cuteness and put his book down. Hinata was a little nervous as Itachi headed over towards the bed and sat on the edge.

"It's ok, you didn't do anything. The others are in the loungeroom, did you want to go get some breakfast in the kitchen?"

"Sure thing!" As she stood up and let the blanket fall, Itachi had to look away before he lost self-control looking at her dishevelled hair, sleepy face and amazing body.

He quickly grabbed a long tee shirt from his couch and lent it to her to put over her outfit.

On the way to the kitchen, the pair bumped into a hungover Sasuke. Sasuke was still fuming about Tobi cockblocking him yesterday at the party. He didn't even get a chance to dance with Hinta and now here she is. In his brother's shirt, coming out of his room with that bed hair. He felt blood rush to his face, unable to hold back his smart ass tongue.

He scoffed and looked up at Hinata like she was nothing but an eye sore.

"So, first you go with Tobi and now you're sleeping with my brother? Guess you've just been putting up a good girl act, huh. Disgus—!" Before Sasuke could finish speaking absolute nonsense, he felt a strong blunt force hit his face. Before he could comprehend what had happened, Itachi and walked off with Hinata behind him.

Hinata could feel Itachi was fuming with anger as he tightened his grip on her hand and practically dragged her far away from Sasuke who is clutching his jaw on the floor.

After all the stuff she's heard people say about her, Hinata wasn't too affected anymore. Sasuke didn't mean anything to her anyway, he's nothing to her. Only her friends family, and …Itachi matter.

Right before the turn for the kitchen and loungeroom, Itachi took a sharp turn and headed for the front door instead.

Hinata was a bit reluctant going out in public looking like she is but trusts Itachi won't make her do that.

They drove in silence for about 4 minutes and pulled him in a deserted parking lot next to a lake. There were no other cars in sight just the two of them. Hinata didn't really know what to say, she felt bad that he got in a fight with Sasuke because of her. She didn't want to come between their relationship.

"A-ah Itachi, I'm sorry you got into a fight with S-sasuke because of me, I didn't mean to do anything" she fiddled with the hem of her shirt nervously still not daring to look him in the eyes.

Itachi sighed loudly feeling bad he made Hinata think this was her fault.

"Listen Hina, I'm not angry at you and don't feel bad. I'm angry at Sasuke for saying such rubbish things about you. I'm angry at anyone that says that untrue stuff about you….

(insert awkward shy itachi) If you ever have a hard time you can just come see me and when you can't stick up for yourself, let me know. I'll be there behind you."

Itachi was having a hard time wording his emotions properly. He's never been an expressive person and to have to say all this stuff to Hinata made it a lot harder than he thought. Hinata was almost in tears, no one has ever looked so genuine and sincere about caring about her. Before the tears fell she lunged across and pulled him into a big hug. Itachi stroked her hair to comfort her as she continues to cry and mutter broken 'thank yous'

After Hinata has calmed down (and Itachi) they headed back to his house to meet up with the others. Hinata still didn't really want to face Sasuke, but hopefully she won't have to. Sensing her unease, Itachi gives her had a reassuring squeeze.

Hinata and Itachi were greeted by a group of worried teens wondering where they had gone. Konan tried to ask Sasuke but he just shoved her out of the way while icing his bruised face and busted lip.

"Where did you to go so early in the morning" Kisame asked with a suggestive smirk.

Tobi jumped on Itachi's back and pulled him away from Hinata. Konan dragged Hinata to the bathroom while asking her about the events at the party last night. She laughed at the warm feeling and cozy atmosphere, she really feels at home. Hinata laid in the shower as hot water sprayed her whole body. Her mind keeps wondering towards Itachi. He's protective yet calm demeanour made him almost iressistible. Hinata can't deny it, shes developing a crush but she knows well enough that Itachi would never like her. He was so popular. So many girls crushed on Sasuke but that number doubles for Itachi. The Uchihas were always popular everyone knew that. Itachi regularly had rich uni girls waiting for him at the school gates, they were all pretty and glamourous yet he didn't bat an eyelid or spare them a second glance. Hinata didn't stand a chance.

This crush feels different to her crush on Naruto. Itachi has shown his soft side to her, she has shown him her vulnerabilities. She really wanted to know more about him and have him to herself, emotionally, mentally even physically. Hinata was innocent sure, but that doesn't mean she doesn't know if someone is "hot" and Itachi is the epitome of hot.

She continued to lay in the shower feeling more and more hopeless the longer she thinks about her fleeting chances with Itachi.

After her shower, she chatted with everyone for a bit and headed home.

Tobi gave her a lift on his way to his house.

In the car, he could tell there was something troubling her

"Hime hime, is something wrong~" using his sweet child-like voice to lift the gloomy atmosphere.

Deciding it'd be best not to tell one of Itachi's friends, Hinata put on a reassuring smile and shook her head

"Uhn uhn nothing is wrong, I'm just tired hehe. Thanks for the lift Tobi and thanks for yesterday too!"

Thinking about Hinata yesterday made Tobi growl. Dropping his voice to a mere whisper as he pulls up at her house. "Anytime princess." His hot breathe sent shivers down her spine, she quickly got out, thanked him again and dashed to her front door. Even if she gets shivers and tingles, nothing compares to what Itachi does to her just by smiling or a small touch. God she's becoming lovesick again. After the whole deal with Naruto, she's a bit scared to like someone again but it's ok, Itachi won't like her anyway so she'll try stop dreaming.

Let me know what you think! I'll like update soon J
