Itachi woke up by the sound of Hinata eating her apples.
" Oh I'm sorry, I was hungry and I…" she explained somewhat scared but he just looked at her white eyes. Once he approved and went back to sleep Hinata looked away.
She walked around the house and noticed that there were more rooms and went to explore. Hinata was 16 years old now with long dark blue hair, but still was weak. It wasn't that she couldn't do it…it was just the lack of controlling her feelings. She still loved Naruto and would always appreciate him but as soon as she found out he was with Sakura she decided he wasn't for her. No one really wanted her. Her father was constantly calling her trash, worth of nothing and besides she cried most of the time unable to forget and move on.
She ended her trip around the house and went back to his room. She looked at him and she knew he was having nightmares because of the way he moved his eyes while they wore closed. She knew because he was sweating and because she once had them too. Without smiling she walked in to move towards his side.
Then she saw a window. The dark blue, velvet sky was full of stars. She sat next to him and touched his long black hair. It wasn't like hers that it reached her chest, but a resemblance to Sasuke's long bangs.
Hinata reached to feel his creamy skin.
"He is so cold," she whispered. She looked around for a blanket and when she found it she tossed it on top of him.
He did not know what she was doing since he was oblivious while sleeping. Hinata didn't know what to do and soon laziness drove her to sleep…right next to him.
When Itachi woke up two hours later and saw her pale skin still looking sad from her face he frowned.
He wanted to wake her up and called her name. "Hey Hinata." She fast activated byakugan her little veins wore popping out from around her eyes. He stared at her for along time and then spoke.
"Do you want to go?" She relaxed her eyes and said nothing, she had no reason to go back to her village and she really did not care anymore.
She looked around and then back at him his eyes wore just like the guy she knew. "Uchiha." She spoke. He looked so tired like he wanted to give up on life. She stood up from the bed and put her jacket on. "Bye." She said.
She was going through the forest and she began to run but she didn't know where too. She felt money on the back pocket of her Capri's. She smiled and somehow she felt little happier than ever.
She went to a near village and bought some groceries. Hinata bought the juiciest apples she could find, wheat, milk, tomatoes and lots of more vegetables and meat. When she finished with her shopping she didn't know where to go.
Itachi was reading some scrolls. He especially had that one which helped him activate mangekyo. He thought about his life and how he regretted all of those moments he made his little brother suffer. He touched his cheek and felt coldness. Itachi thought about the girl about how she left without remorse, with eyes that longed for a place to call home. A source of chakra brought him back from void.
He opened the door and saw Hinata. She did not smile or anything just stood there. "I brought some food." She whispered.
"Why are you here?" He asked confused that she had suddenly come back.
"I don't know." She answered. He helped her with the bags and went back to reading his scrolls not wanting to question, not wanting to really ever speak again.
"Itachi." She spoke.
"How do you know my name?" He asked wondering if she had suddenly betrayed him by activating his sharingan.
"Sasuke." She said while looking at the floor.
"Oh… what's the matter?" he looked some how annoyed by her. "Can I stay here with you?" she asked shyly. She didn't feel anything she just had nowhere to go and when she saw him in pain she felt the rush of wanting to comfort him.
"Do as you please." Itachi said looking at her. She grabbed a broom and started sweeping the floor. Hinata felt scared but knew he wouldn't hurt her, not in that state of depression.
Itachi got up from the chair and headed to the bathroom where he could be alone.
" Why does she want to stay?" He thought to himself. His long, silky black hair hid his muscles and real good-looking features. He thought about the Hyuugaand wondered how it would be like to have her around. "At least it wouldn't be lonely…" He got out of the bathtub and went to his room.
He some black shorts on and fell fast asleep forgetting he had Hinata living with him.
Hinata finished cleaning the kitchen and she was tired. She really didn't know why she had decided to stay with him and was actually in oblivion not noticing what she did. She spoke to herself "Why did I stay? Oh I remember now he needs someone because he's lonely."
