a/n: Second chapter out of three. Sorry I didn't make this chapter longer. It couldn't be any longer without messing up what I waned to do with this story. Go ahead and ignore any spelling and/or grammar mistakes you see. I did my best to up date as fast as I could, but school's a killer thing.


"I'm here now. What do you want?" Itachi snapped, hardening his gaze.

"Merely to talk." Kakashi took a step forward.

"I have nothing to talk to you about." Itachi sneered and quickly made a move towards the door. Kakashi leaned against against the old wood,once agin blocking his path. the younger male stopped immediatly.

"Come now, Itachi. You don't feel like talking to me?" His answer was a hateful glare. "Just answer me one question; truthfully, why did you leave?"

Itachi thought for a moment. "I didn't love you." He finally said, unconvincingly.

"No, I know the real reason you left. I reminded you too much of your past. Too much of what you lost at your own hands. I still do. That's why you were so caustious of accepting my invatation, hesitant of even entering the house , on your top guard all the way through.

"But those memories pleasant memories of your childhood were always stuck in the back of your mind. Of all that you carelessly threw away. And for what, Itachi? To test your strength?

"Only you will know the reall reason, but I do know one thing, Itachi. That ou're lying." Kakashi paused, mostly for affect, Itachi interrupted.

"Lying about what, exactly?" He asked, staring down at the ground.

"Lying about not being in love with me." Itachi's eyes shot up. "At least not loving me now, and there's two reasons why I'm positive of that fact.

"One, you said that you 'didn't' love me, not that you don't love me. There's a hint of feelings there, Itachi, whether you'll admit it or not.

"And two, if you still didn't love me for what other reason would you possibly have come here? I can see no other logical reason for why you've arrived tongiht. Unless you would like to explain to me that reason."

"I'm not you're student, Kakashi. I don't need a lecture." Itachi shto returning to his cold gaze, or trying to.

"True, but I'm not lecturing you, Itachi. I'm merely stating."

"Sating what exactly?" Kakashi's smirk was clearly visable through his mask as he slowly began to walk forward. Itachi eyed him wearily.

"Simply stating what's mine. All I came here to do was to reclaim what is mine."


a/n: Well, there you have it. The next chapter will be longer I promise, and I can even say that some romance will finally errupt as well. I'm also trying to do my best with up dating my other stories, like Total Strangers, so look out for those. In the mean time, I'll be trying to finish this thing. One more chapter to go, baby!
