Friends equals traitor

Disclaimer: I don't own the characters they belong only to Masashi Kishimoto and his crew.

Pairings: Sasuhina and a little bit of Itahina and Sai can be pretty observing and sexy.

Summary: There are certain things in the world that always end up revolving around them… The two of them… He broke her heart; he's mending her wounds… He helps her up while the other one pushes him down.

Nights become overwhelming, there are things in the world that no matter how painful they are, always bring upon a bright outcome. Sai had been there with her, his humor ever changing, but making her forget all about that void inside her chest, he made her feel good, yeah, like a painkiller when a headache is killing your patience, and she honestly could not have enough of that man, that man that was her best friend above all things. She sat silently on a cream colored love seat as she deeply stared at her dark surroundings.

I wonder what Sai was thinking… He looked off the hook today… Maybe…

A knock on the door interrupted her train of thoughts. She was supposed to be asleep, that's what she had made Sai believe just before he left. She wasn't in the mood to receive anyone, so she pretended that no one was calling to her… Pretending? Damn word got her train running again.

"-Hinata… There are things in this life that are worth the riches' man treasure… But there are just some things that cannot be replaced… Not even by the presence of god…"- his voice, as usual was like velvet on her ears and heart, his hands always soothingly cold and warm at the same time. She has never ever dared to look up to him and tell him what she felt, what she wanted him to do to her.

"-Itachi-sama, could you touch me… I want you to touch me…"- her eyes couldn't encounter his face, her face flushed beet red and her hands fiddling with her hair.

"-Hina-hime… Don't say such things, because honestly I don't know what I'd do if I lost control…"- Hinata felt his lips on her neck, soothing, burning, freezing…

"-Itachi… Please…"- she reached for him, but he began fading…

Her mind focused again on the conscious world. She was still in her room, sitting on the same couch, and apparently she had fallen asleep, because the sky was already turning a dark blue. I really need to take some air…. Even after he's dead… He smothers me… Tears began forming, and threatened to slip out. She forgot about the shower, the sleeping robes, the people… She just wanted to breathe and calm her storming soul. She walked out of her room and headed to the hall, empty… It made her remember something else… After her blunt confession in battle to Naruto, she had never felt so free, so out of her cage… But he had chosen Neji, he had confessed to Neji on a drunken night and who would have thought Neji shared the blonds' feelings. She smiled at the memory of Neji moving out of the Hyuga household. As she wondered around the house she reached the back garden and decided to sit there… Her favorite bench, the bench where she…. Oh god the tears…

†††† Flashback ††††

"Hey Hinata-kun… I was wondering if you grew a third eye… What the heck is that thing between your eyes…"- Hinata held her hands to her forehead and blushed…

"- Sai-kun don't be soooo mean…. That's a zit…"- she puckered her lips and drew her tongue out.

"-Can I draw that face on my sketch book? I bet it'll scare the cats out of my house…."- he grabbed her cheeks and pinched them, making a funny face.

"- You're so cute Hin-chan…"- his nose grazing hers, making her insides become a mess. Her head became light headed and fainted.

"-Hinata-hime…?"- Sai looked at Hinata, who was beet red and hot. He caressed her face and bent down to kiss her. His lips lightly touching hers… Hinata never got to see the face of her best friend, never got to see the small smile that drew on his lips or the tears that formed in their corners.

"- I love you Hina-hime… I love you"- his hands still on her face.

She had a dream, a dream that same night, the night when Sai left her alone in that bench, the day Sasuke Uchiha came to her house and ruined everything with the truth.
