*Recent date Hoshi: age 19*

The time for the chunin exams had arrived, Sasuke and his team had been recommended by Kakashi to take the chunin exams. She was getting less and less missions now and she was often heading to other villages and learning more about their techniques and advancing her own powers. She was considered a nomad, wandering without a home and learning in peace with fellow villages with or against Konoha, her former home. She is said to be without a home because she does not have the characteristics of a Konoha ninja, she respects life and all living things, good or bad. The Hokage granted her permission to leave the village and to come as she pleased as long as she didn't reveal the secrets of Konoha to other villages and remained loyal to them. The loyal part didn't really go with her but she went with whatever they threw at her just to get her freedom. Her life in Konoha had come to an end and she knew well what she had to do.

Hoshi saw Sasuke less and less as he was preparing for the chunin exams and training with his team. She was glad that he had found friends or so she thought. Her mind powers had improved dramatically, she could easily read someone's thoughts without concentration or bleeding from her nose and see their past. Though sometimes it bothered her ,she did all she could to use her gained knowledge and help the person in need. That was probably the reason why the people considered her a nomad, she has such a caring nature that only a person who was wise or holy could obtain. When she would return to the village she would try to spend time with Sasuke but he seemed more distant, he would train with her but that's all he would do. His mind was the same as before, trying to figure out ways to achieve his goals. Finding ways of getting stronger and beating Itachi. She noticed that he had made up his mind about not training with her anymore. He didn't want to give her a hint of his intentions, that's why she too had set her mind on leaving.

The day that Sasuke was to start the chunin exams she was to leave, however had a bit of trouble as a lot of her acquaintances didn't want her to leave. Naruto and Sakura wanted her stay for Sasuke's sake, even though she was older than she appeared she knew that things were changing but she didn't know if it was good or bad. A lot of the genin looked up to her because of her appearance, they all saw her as a fellow ninja in their ranks even though she was way more advanced then the genin or chunin even some jonin. She could easily surpass a Hyuga which meant she could easily surpass an Uchiha but never revealed this to Sasuke. Sasuke didn't seem to mind her leaving, she noticed him thinking that he was sad she was leaving but it would be better so she couldn't find out about his goal.

The day of the chunin exams came, every where she went she saw ninjas from different villages some of which she knew and as like the leaf ninjas asked her to stay, but with much sorrow denied their request. It was almost noon and decided to head out. She had decided to leave through the least popular gate so she couldn't see any of her former comrades. She didn't expect to see anyone but to her surprise Kakashi was there, waiting for her. She stopped and read his mind to give her a heads up on what was coming to her, which was nothing out of the ordinary so she stopped reading his mind. She approached the gate and continued on until Kakashi stopped her.

"What, not even a goodbye?"

"Kakashi you know I'm not attached to this village like the rest of you. I've been on my own, always have been and always will."

"Well that's because you choose to live that way. What about Sasuke and Gaara? Are you really going to abandon them?"

"It's pretty obvious what Sasuke's goal is now, and as for Gaara… I haven's seen him in four years, I'm pretty sure he's forgotten about me. My time here is over, there is no longer any reason for me to stay."

"What about those who care about you? Are you just going to walk out of their lives like this?"

"Kakashi, you are wise enough to figure that out on your own, now if you'll excuse me I have to go now-"

"NO! I wont' let you walk out of my life like this!"

Kakashi grabbed Hoshi by her arms, Hoshi trying to break free found that he was much stronger than her. She fought as hard as she could but her efforts were in vain. He pulled her close to him, smashing her body close to his. She gave her last effort but only got her closer to him, and suddenly his face was inches form her face. He freed his right hand and as he pulled her closely he pulled his mask down, she could feel his hot breath on her left check and suddenly his lips crushed into hers. She tried to move away but couldn't, she stopped struggling and kissed him back. She slightly opened her mouth allowing him access to her, she felt his tongue enter and rubbed against hers. She didn't know why it felt right, the only time she had ever kissed someone was Itachi but not like this. She let out a soft moan which turned Kakashi on, he hugged her tighter pressing his center with hers. She felt his hard on pressing against her and she pushed her center closer to his. They continued to kiss each other harder and harder until both of them found themselves out of breath. They looked into each others eyes for a couple of minutes.

"I'm sorry Kakashi," was all she said before she cast a jutsu on him that knocked him out.

As his limp body almost hit the ground she caught him and took him to the nearest tree she could find. She sat him up against a tree, she took out his book that he always had with him and put it on his hand to make him think that he doze of while reading his book. The jutsu made you feel like you had fallen asleep, something she learned from the village hidden in the mist. She looked at him for a good minute then turned towards the gate. As she was exiting the village she heard Kakashi say his last good bye to her from his slumber,

"Please be careful…. I love you."

As she continued on tears ran down her face.

Is this a mistake? Should I leave everyone behind and go on my way to find what I'm 'missing' or I'm I stupid enough not to notice that everyone I'm leaving behind is what I've been searching for? No… this is not what I want and what is destined for me. I must go my own way and find out who I am and where I come from. I must meet with the person that raised me as her own… my mother Hana, I must head to Suna…..

Hoshi headed to Suna to talk to her mother, the Kazekage had been notified of her visit and of her status. He didn't mind for he was too busy looking forward to the chunin exams. She had heard that Gaara of the sand was a ruthless genin and has done missions that genins from the leaf couldn't do. Has he really changed since the last time she saw him. What had happened to her little shy ginger? To bad for her that she couldn't stick around to see him and her former comrades participate in the chunin exams. She started to dash through the forest when a sinister aura clouded her mind, only one person could have such and aura… Orochimaru. She couldn't comprehend how she knew about Orochimaru but she did and her instincts were telling her to beware. She had heard of him and of his evil deeds, she stopped in a clearing only to be surrounded by three ninjas from the village hidden in the grass.

"Well well, what do we have here?" the woman that appeared to be the team captain said. Hoshi knew right away that it was Orochimaru disguised as the woman.

"Orochimaru I presume, what brings you to Konoha? Didn't you abandoned your village and is wanted in practically every country?"

"My my aren't you well informed? Is that what that old Hokage told you?"

"No… I can see it in your mind. Tell me, what has this poor village done to you that you are so desperate to destroy?"

During this a great big raven appeared, it landed on a near by branch, Orochimaru quickly looked at the raven and stayed quiet for a few seconds.

"I'm sorry dear but we must leave this conversation for another time, I know I would be looking forward on seeing you again (licking his lips)… But I must be on my way, I have bigger things to accomplish."

Orochimaru and his two companions left Hoshi, she had seen what his plan was for the village but as much as she could an overpowering voice told her that she must let faith take its course. She must not interfere with whatever was going to take place. What she didn't know was the plan that Orochimaru had for Sasuke for he was not thinking about it at the time. She was broken out of her concentration by the raven's sudden croak. She began to wonder if the raven was the reason that Orochimaru had left in such a hurry, she began to walk away only to be stopped by the raven's croak. She put her arm out like she had done before in the lake where a similar raven had given her a rose.

The raven flew down and landed on her arm gently, she was surprised to find that the big raven wasn't heavy at all. The raven gently pecked the yellow rose that she still wore behind her ear, she took it off and gave it to the raven. For some reason as the raven was about to take off she gently told it to stop, she moved her arm closer to her and gently kissed the bird on top of its head. She thought that the bird was going to fly off but obediently did as it was told, like her own little pet. She moved her arm away giving the bird space for it to take off, the bird turned to her before suddenly taking off and disappearing into the sky. The last glance that the bird had given her made her feel a sort of comfort that she had experienced before when she was with Itachi. Had he been keeping an eye on her? She wanted to keep wondering but noticed that she was still very close to the leaf village and the jutsu that she had cast on Kakashi was on the brink of breaking.

She started to dart across the forest making no stop, she reached the end of the forest by night. She had only a few hours of night before the sun came up again and she didn't want to be in the desert when the sun came up. So without thinking twice she headed towards Suna, she was well equip just incase something were to happen, so she didn't worry about the desert at night. She had enough anti venom just incase she were stung by anything that came out at night in the desert, which she seemed was impossible but one can't be too careful.

She reached Suna just as the sun was rising, she was surprised as how she had managed to reach Suna in such a short time. She had guessed that maybe the training with Sasuke helped her a bit too, she reached the gate and let the one in charge know who she was. She entered the village and was greeted by some of the villagers that she had met before, she reached her mothers apartment and met her brothers who were on their way to the academy.

"Hey sis!"

"Hey Kohaku (age 15), Haku (age 12). You guys heading to the academy?"

"I am, what are you doing here?" asked Haku.

"I came to talk to mom."

"Oh… hey I don't see your Leaf headband… Are you like a criminal now and snuck in here? Don't worry sis I got your back!" said Kohaku with a smile on his face that made Hoshi laugh.

"ha ha ha no Kohaku is not like that, and besides I wouldn't be walking around freely now would I?"

"I guess not, sorry. I just thought it would be cool having an S class criminal for a sis that's all ha ha ha."

"Oookay, now you guys get on your way I don't want you guys to get into trouble."

"Ok, are you still going to be here when we return?"

"I don't think so, this is just a small meeting I must not linger here, but don't worry I'll be back someday."

"Someday?" asked Haku

"Nevermind, now hurry before I cast a genjutsu on you."

"Prf you wish hahaha, ok bye sis."

Hoshi looked at her two brothers as they took off, she was going to miss them a lot and her mother as well but she must know the truth. She started up the stairs, when she reached her mothers door she didn't even knock because her mother had opened the door. Her mother looked at her with worried eyes, she had seen this coming too, now it was too late. It pained Hoshi to see her mother this way but there was no other way.

"Hey mom."

"Hey Hoshi, I'm not surprised you're here… I knew this day would come, you are far too special and smart for me to even try to keep it from you. I see that you have broken your bonds with the Leaf village."

"I'm not as attached to the village as the others… your not from that village are you?" they entered her mothers apartment as they conversed.

"No, your father was. We met at a festival in Tanzaku town, I worked as a waitress in one of the tea shops. We met, fell in love and asked me to marry him. The Hokage had granted the permission for me to live in the village, I too don't know where I'm from. I was left alone between the borders of Konoha and Suna, not being able to remember my parents and where I was originally from a couple took me in and ever since had lived in Tanzaku and then met your father and moved to Konoha."

"Did you ever tried to find your parents?"

"I did but came up empty, either they died or…. well I don't know. But your not here to listen to my story, you're here for your origin correct?"

"Yes, if you would be so kind as to tell me who I am and where I'm from."

"Of course dear, it all started when your father was helping me move my stuff to Konoha, well what I had. We had a few more miles when we noticed that there were a lot of shooting stars, me and your father held hands and looked at them. Suddenly we noticed that three of those stars were especially bright and pretty close. Two of them continued going straight and suddenly the third started to fall, like a great big ball of fire it descended towards us. Your father covered me but the star fell a couple of miles behind us. Curious we headed to were it had landed, we got there about a few minutes later. We noticed that the other two stars started to descend as well, but didn't see where they had landed or heard any noise of impact. When we got there everything to our surprise wasn't burnt, the trees where still standing. There was no crater on the ground, it was as if nothing had happened, we searched the perimeter to see if we could find something but nothing. Then as we were about to leave thinking that it might had been our imagination we heard a cry, we turned back and looked for where the sound was coming from. We couldn't find it, it seemed that the cry was coming from every direction. Until I came upon a log and inside it was a baby, it was a girl. The most beautiful child I've ever seen… it was you Hoshi."

"…. you mean to say that I came from the stars?"

"Yes… your father and I thought that someone must have left you but the instant we saw you and in the place you appeared gave no doubt that you were the falling star. We thought that we would find anbu coming to the place to see what had fallen but no one ever came. We thought that maybe we were the only ones who saw the falling stars… there had been a legend, a very old legend of three sisters that came from the heavens. I kept this to myself, I had a feeling that if I were to tell you father nothing good would come of it. We decided to raise you as one of our own, the only thing that bothered us was that you started to grow quickly."

"What do you mean?"

"Well we were still a few miles away from the leaf village, as I was caring you and feeding you. I started to notice your sudden weight gain, I sort of cried out in shock and your father took you and inspected you. You had grown dramatically the while we were traveling, your hair your height everything had changed. By the time we reached the village you were already crawling and saying simple words that all baby's learned. When we got to the village we reported to the Hokage of our finding… well we just told him we found you on our way here, he agreed to let us keep you since we didn't know your parents. At first they were going to do some research on your background but when they didn't find a matching birth certificate with the age you showed they gave up. You kept growing and growing, none of the children grew as fast as you did. No one really noticed since they didn't really took notice of you until you started the academy a few months later."

"How long did it take me to reach the appropriate age for me to start the academy?"

"Well for any normal kid it would be age seven, but you grew so fast it took you less than five months to reach that age. As if for each year you grew twice as much, I thought that the anbu were going to come and take you away from me… it was hard for me to see you go. I would pray that you would return to me from the academy."

"I'm sorry for what I put you through, why didn't you leave me there in the woods?"

"It might sound silly but… a little voice in my head told me that you were something special. It felt as if you were my own daughter, when I first looked at you I felt such a strong feeling towards you that not even the thought of leaving you came to my mind. The Hokage did summoned me once, he was curious about you. I told him how I found you but not how you came from the stars, I told him of your rapid growth and that you were very smart. It took you half the time it took regular kids to learn things, he had noticed. Sometimes I wondered if he ever saw my concern about him examining you because not once did he ever summoned you."

"Mmm that is true, he only started summoning me when I was eligible to fulfill missions."

"Did you ever feel like being watched as you did your missions? Like examined?"

"At first I did pick up a sense of being watched so I did my missions like any normal kid would, even made some mistakes in the process. And I was never assigned to a three man cell as you noticed."

"So they did keep an eye on you but since you never did anything out of the ordinary they must of backed off. As for not putting you in a team… I don't know."

"Yea, sure felt that way. Even the villagers outcast me, it wasn't until I felt being less watched that the villagers eased up a bit."

"The villagers are all idiots, when they don't understand something they automatically see it as unusual and are afraid of it. They are afraid of what they can't understand, take Naruto for an instance. They outcast him so horribly because of his demon. I was so angry with the village that sometimes I would hope that the kid would teach them all a lesson but I knew it wouldn't be right on his part. But the village did ease up on him and made some very good friends, right?"

"Yes that little boy is going to be the future of Konoha."

"Back to the story, I noticed that you started to slow down on your growth. Your aging slowed and your memory of the past was beginning to fade. You would remember about things you learned but as each year passed you seemed to forget about the past more and more, your first day at the academy that kind of stuff."

"It is true, I have noticed that my blonde bangs have began to grow out, and my red hair is growing in its place. Its like my body is changing. As for my memory I don't really remember about my childhood or the academy. I only remember about the time when I started to do more serious missions that took me outside the village. I do recall my mind going through some changes as I went to different villages and witnessed their traditions, like as if my mind took a sudden interest in the outer world. It craved more information, that's when I started requesting missions that took outside the village and since the Hokage saw that it wasn't difficult for me to complete them he didn't have trouble granting my request."

"It's true then…"

"About what?"

"In the old legend, the three sisters where separated at birth and as they grew they learned as much as they could about life. They had so much wisdom that they were considered to be wise about life, they respect life whether it had good or bad intensions. It was told that many people that had a hard time would go to them for guidance."

"How old is this legend?"

"The only record about them is to be over a thousand years old, before Konoha was created. It was said that they were as old as the Uchiha and Senju clan."

"How old were they?"

"The record didn't say but it said that they were the most beautiful celestial beings in the whole world. I imagined that they didn't age, but as they gained knowledge their power grew as well, though they were never known in using their power, it was said that they posed great power. They were started to be targeted by people who wanted their suppose power, no one ever witnessed an attack towards them but was heard that they were the ones who came victorious in the end."

"Was it ever said what kind of powers they posed?"

"No, they kept to themselves. It was said that they did have elemental powers but there wasn't enough information to confirm it."

"Elemental powers?"

"Yeah like earth, wind, water… that kind of stuff."

"Oh… have they all been women?"

"The only record tells that they were women and before that… no one knows."

"Then if they were to stop aging then shouldn't they be still around? And if so where are they and does it really connect to me?"

"Well then that would explain your sudden urge to leave the village and gain knowledge, to find out about your origin and your other sisters. I believe that you are one of the star sisters and that you would find them, and all your questions will be answered. I did the best I could to raise you as my own, now its your turn to lead your own life."

"You really think so?"

"You think I don't know, I raised you, I took care of you, of course I know. How could a mother not know these things?"

"I guess your right, thank you so much mom… for everything.""I'm just happy that everything turned out alright when you were growing up, now I will pray for your safety. As a last request please whatever you do, do not mention the star sisters. It would only bring you trouble."

"Why?"

"Like I said before, they are known to gain great power and knowledge. You don't know what power hunger can do to people. They would stop at nothing to gain such power, like Orochimaru. It if its true about not aging he would go after you, but then there's the question of immortality. If the old sisters have died then Orochimaru would probably leave you alone but he would still use the knowledge he would gain from you to continue his research. And since we haven't heard about the sisters that would mean that they are in hiding or worse."

"I understand. I will be careful."

"Thank you."

"… my time here is done."

"You can sense it?"

"Yes, it is telling me that I have heard all you know and must move on now. That's another thing I've noticed about myself, its like my instincts are telling me how long I should stay in one place, where to go and when to leave."

"I see, then I hope your instincts guide you to the right place. But don't rely on your instincts alone, you have other things that are of great importance too."

"Like?"

"… your heart."

"I see, thank you. I must leave now."

"Will I ever see you again?"

"In time perhaps."

"Ok until our next meeting then."

"Agreed."

Hoshi left her mother and set off to her next destination. She did not know where she was heading or what village she would come across, her instincts told her to keep going. And she did, she had left her home and family behind. Would any good come of this or would this lead to her end? All she knew was that her life was in no danger and all she needed was to find her sisters that for some reason knew that they too were looking for her.

Hoshi had reached the village hidden in the clouds and had decided to change her clothes. She didn't want people to think that she was still tied to the leaf village, not because she was afraid for her safety or of the village, there was just not enough reason to go around announcing her former home. Her dark red hair now reached just below her elbows, her blond bangs had grown out except behind her ear where she used to put the flower. What she wore was a black tight muscle shirt revealing her well toned abs. Her tights however seemed to cover her feet but revealed her heel and toes, she found that being barefoot gave her a sense of comfort and freedom of quick movements. She wore fingerless gloves that were below her elbow. She didn't have any weapons with her for she didn't have any need of them.

She would wonder from time to time how the chunin exams were going. It had been four days already, the forest of death part was done. Now all that remained was the final rounds where the victor would become a chunin. She had a feeling that Sasuke was heading for a difficult match but tried to push it out of her mind. She no longer need to worry about Sasuke, he could take care of himself.

It was night time and she would always take a long walk by the small lake, after a long day of training, outside the inn where she stayed for the time being. As she stroked her hair she felt like something was missing, she had forgotten about the flower that she had given back to the raven that day when she met Orochimaru. It was a full moon out and she decided to go for a swim in the lake, just as she was about to remove her shirt she felt like if someone was watching her. She quickly stopped and scanned the area, she didn't sense anything. Just when she was about to let her guard down a raven flew down and landed by her feet. He had the same colored rose in his mouth, she kneeled before him and took the rose automatically placing it behind her right ear. She felt whole again, the raven looked at her as with amazement. She held out her hands to see if the raven would back away from her but didn't, she gently picked it up and stroked it. The raven looked up at her as if wanting to speak to her, she noticed that it was trying to break free so she gave it a last stroke and gently kissed the top of the ravens head. Once she had given the kiss the raven stopped struggling and looked at her, she met his eyes and suddenly saw the sharingan! She tried to act fast as to not fall into the genjutsu but was too late.

Where am I?

She found herself in the old Uchiha compound, it was deserted just like when she went to look for Sasuke. It was nightfall and the moon was full. She walked for a while until she reached Sasuke's house. The house was dark, she went to the front door and knocked. No one answered, of course she expected that but she didn't want to enter without knocking. She searched the house but found no one, she then thought about the lake that was by their house where Itachi and Sasuke would practice their fire techniques. She slowly walked to the lake, she didn't have a hard time walking through the dark for the moon lighted her way. As she reached the lake she noticed that someone was there, waiting for her. For some reason she wasn't afraid, she kept walking towards the figure that gave her their back. She had a weird feeling that for some reason she knew who it was. As she got closer the figure was becoming clearer, she stopped a few feet from him.

"Itachi?"

As she said his name the person slowly turned around, the first thing she noticed was his crimson eyes. It was Itachi. She didn't hesitate once she saw him, once they made eye contact he held out his arms to her. She didn't think twice about it, she ran to his waiting arms that gently wrapped around her body. She didn't cry for she didn't need to all she did was hug him, she didn't want to let him go. She never knew that she felt that way about him but she did and it felt right.

"Why did you leave me?"

"I had to my love, you don't know how much it pained me to do it."

"What about Sasuke? You left him behind as well, did it pain you too?"

"…"

"I'm sorry, I shouldn't be asking these questions."

"It's alright."

"How did we end up here though?"

"I cast a genjutsu.""I thought as much… just like last time… right?"

"Last time?"

"Our first kiss…"

"No, I wouldn't dare to cast a genjutsu on you. I only did it now because I longed to see you."

"…"

Hoshi met his eyes as he said those words she tilted her face so it could be a few inches away and gently placed her lips on his. At first she thought he was going to push her away but on the contrary he held her even closer to his body, his hands fell to her waist and she wrapped her arms around his neck. She wanted more and so did he, he licked her lips which made her part her lips a little and with that Itachi slid his tongue inside her mouth, tasting her.

His hand now moved to her butt and started to caress it, when she felt his hand she arched her back and pushed her center with his. Her skin tight tights made her feel his member more against hers. The kiss grew deeper and she continued to push her center against his, he pulled her closer as well. Their tongues rubbed against one another, she would suck on his lower lip occasionally which made him groan, he would suck on her upper lip gently which made her want him even more.

His hand moved to her back and started to caress it, she never noticed how soft his hands were, it felt good against her skin. He started to move his hand to her side and worked his way just below her left breast. Once she felt his hand she pressed even harder on his member signaling him to continue which he did. He gently cupped her left breast making her moan which pleased him, he began to rub her nipple with his thumb.

They kissed so hard that they had to break apart for hair, they both looked at each other with passion in their eyes. He kissed her again and started to place kisses on her jaw line and moved to her neck, his hand hadn't left her breast which she didn't mind. She had been caressing his back and had taken off his rubber band that held his hair. He started to suck and bite her neck each time making her groan, tired of standing he laid her gently beneath him.

While he was placing her beneath him Hoshi had spread her legs making him place himself between her thighs, having their centers pressed together again. He looked up at her and smiled, she had never seen him smile, but now he was and he seemed happy to be with her and so did she. His hair fell to the sides of his face caressing her face in the process. He supported his weight on his elbows which seemed he didn't have much trouble with, he kissed her once more, he grabbed her face with both hands as he kissed her, caressing her.

She had never felt such passion in her life, she now knew that their first kiss was real and his feelings for her were real too. One of his hands went to her breast caressing it like before but with more eagerness, she gave soft moans which made Itachi kiss her more. She thought that Itachi was doing most of the work so she decided to give something in return, she wrapped one of her legs around his waist and started to move her hips against his which made their centers rub against the other.

Itachi stopped kissing her, drew his head back and gave out a loud moan, sure they weren't exactly doing it but god did it feel good. He started kissing her again then started to kiss her neck, nibbling and biting it a few times. He then moved to her chest, he lifted her up a little bit and removed her shirt, she felt like it was unfair how she was partially naked while he was fully dress. Before he moved back to her chest she tugged at his shirt and removed it, tossing it right next to hers.

He returned to her breasts taking one of her nipples inside his mouth. One of his hands had grabbed her other leg and wrapped it around his waist so that their contact wouldn't stop, he sucked on her nipple gently, biting it once in a while which made her moan and call out his name. Itachi had never been so turned on in his life, Hoshi had inter twined her fingers in his hair tugging it once in a while. He looked at her, her golden eyes half open and her face blushing looked back at him giving him a warm smile.

"I've never thought you were such a good kisser and so skillful with your hands."

"Same here, you taste so good. I want you even more now."

"Itachi, I've never cared for anyone as much as I do for you. You've made me so happy to know that you feel the same way I do for you."

"Same here love, same here."

He continued to kiss her, her hands caressed his back. He was well toned, it made her nuts to think about him being inside her. She wanted him to make her his and his only, her hands went to his pants and started to undo his pants. Itachi looked at her and gave her a big grin signaling that he was as willing as she was, she nodded to him. He worked on her tights as he kissed her stomach which were much easier to slide off than his but got his off in no time. They looked at each other now with more love and passion than before, they both knew that the first time would hurt, he knew it would hurt more for her than him. He gently placed a kiss on her forehead.

"I'll be gentle my love."

"… it's not your first time?"

"Yes it is my first time but I've heard it hurts and I don't want to hurt you."

"Nothing can hurt me as long as I'm with you."

He kissed her and gently placed his tip at her entrance, he could feel the heat coming from her. He knew that she wanted him inside her and so did he but he didn't want to hurt her. He gently entered her, he noticed her gasping and stopped, kissing her again. The pain only lasted about a couple of seconds, when she nodded to him to continue he entered her fully. He had noticed something blocking him from completely entering her, so once she nodded for him to continue he pulled out and thrusted in her hard breaking the barrier. She gasped again, he soon started to thrust in her making her moan. He started to pick up speed pulling almost out of her before plunging himself in her again. He held her by her waist as he thrust into her, she started to moan his name as he picked up speed. He could feel her insides tighten around his member making him go faster, he would kiss her gently as she wrapped her legs around his waist not wanting to loose him.

She suddenly rolled to her side making him be beneath her and her on top. She began to move her hips faster and faster, Itachi was on the brink of climaxing as she continued to mover her hips harder and faster. He said her name as she gave out a loud moan, she had climaxed before him. Noticing her coming he flipped her making him be on top now, he continued to thrust into her harder and harder, it didn't take him long to climax and when he did he let out a loud moan and collapsed on top of her. She didn't mind him being on top of her, he gently kissed her as they both panted, they looked into each others eyes. He was still inside her which didn't bother her, and they both embraced one another looking up at the moon.

"I love you Itachi."

"I love you too."

They stayed that way for a while, Itachi had fallen asleep. Hoshi was still awake, she looked around and found that they were back at the lake by her inn.

When did we return to the lake?

Remembering that Itachi had cast a jutsu in the first place she realized that he must have released it when they got more intimate. The scenery had been the same in the jutsu as in the lake, full moon and all. She couldn't think of a better place to make love for the first time with someone she really cared about. She slowly started to doze of caressing Itachis back who was still embracing her and inside her, then she placed a kiss on Itachis forehead waking him up.

"So… want to go for another round?"

Hoshi looked up at him with a big smile on her face.

"I thought you'd never ask."

He was already inside her so he just positioned himself and started to thrust into her, he kissed her so hungrily and so did she. She started to moan as he picked up speed, her fingers raked his back which made him go faster. She came first, when she noticed that he was in the brink of his climax she flipped him over making her be on top and started her rhythm. He held her waist, once in a while he would grab one of her breasts caressing it. She started to go faster and faster making Itachi say her name which she found cute, he could feel himself coming and he did. She felt him explode inside her filling her up with his sperm, she arched her back and looked up at the beautiful night sky giving her last thrust. She gently un straddled him, laying herself on his chest. He pulled her closer to him giving her a gentle kiss on her lips.

"I never thought that I would be here beside you like this in my lifetime."

"Why?"

"After our first kiss I thought that you were going to distant yourself but you didn't."

"But you did, and it made me think that you had cast a genjutsu on me."

"I didn't honestly, I've never been so happy after our first kiss. But then that happened… are you mad at me?"

"For killing your own clan?"

"…"

"Itachi… to be honest with you I was never angry with your actions, you had your reasons. I was deeply sad though, you had left Sasuke alone and in pain, he has so much hatred for you that he isolates himself from others."

"I understand."

"I took him in and trained him as much as I could."

"I thank you for that."

"You knew?"

"Of course, I always kept an eye on both of you."

"So what now?"

"Well you must continue on with your journey and I have a mission to complete."

"Will I ever see you again?"

"Of course you will, the rose that I had given you before served as a tracking device. It came in handy when you came upon Orochimaru."

"That was you? No wonder he left when he saw the raven."

"He fears me, there's no doubt he has gone to Konoha to get his revenge."

"I see."

"Will you go back to the village?"

"No… I'm sorry but my time there is done, if they needed me my instincts would tell me and I will return. But they are not, how about you?"

"I must not interfere either, but I do have business there."

Hoshi looked up at the sky and noticed that the sky was getting lighter, dawn was approaching. She turned to Itachi who still embraced her and kissed him.

"Its almost morning."

"Yes, we should get dressed before an early bird passes by and sees us."

"Yes that sounds like a good idea."

She started to get dressed but stopped, she noticed that Itachi was staring at her with admiration.

"What?"

"… your so beautiful, you're like an angel that has fallen from heaven."

Hoshi blushed as he said this, Itachi got closer to her and pulled her closer to his body embracing her and giving her a kiss.

"How it pains me to see you go my angel."

"Well you'll always be with me… right?"

"Of course I will. That rose will never wither as long as I'm alive."

They kissed and then started to dress themselves again for the sun was rising. After they got dressed Itachi fixed the rose that was in her hair. She looked up at him as he placed a lose lock of hair behind her ear. He gently caressed her check, tilted her face up and gave her a kiss on the lips.

"Until we meet again my love."

"Until then."

He disappeared into the forest leaving her alone, she turned towards her inn and started to walk. She had never been so happy in her life, she knew she wasn't going to see him again for a while. But she didn't mind as long as he was with her through out her journey, and as long as he was ok too.

She continued to learn much from the village then after her instincts told her it was time to leave, she set out for the next village. Not only to learn from them but to find her sisters that she longed to meet.
