Rise Above Part III

Itachi breathed heavily on the bathroom floor while Hinata lay on top of him trying to slow her own breathing.

By God! I didn't think she could handle me so much. I didn't know she could rock me stupid. I love her sooo! Why did I wait soo long...

His grin spread wide, while he watched the crown of her head on his chest. She slowly caressed his arm, also thinking.

Oh my, I've never said such nasty things. I hope he doesn't think me a harlot or fast or wait, he was just as naughty now that I think about it. 'Let's try the backside...' Yes, he definitely is naughty.

She giggled from her memory and he sat up on his elbows.

"What's so funny?"
"Uhm, well, nothing." She sat up on him crossing her arms about her full bossom, making his mouth water.

Damn it, I could have her all day, all night, morning, breakfast, dinner, lunch...oh shit...

"The concert tonight!" Itachi yelled out and she looked at him strangely.
"Hunh? What concert."
Reality came back and he repositioned her so he could sit up while she straddled his lap.

"Uhm, well, I took a job for us."
"You what?"

Hinata tried to stand up but she shifted awkwardly trying not to touch his penis too much.
"I-I was approached by an agent for two rock bands for a catering job at the Scope. It's across from the venue we just worked and well, I'm sorry I didn't consult with you, but I was going to tell you last night and well, we've just uhm, well been busy.

His cheeks warmed nervously while her forehead furrowed out of slight irritation for being booked without her knowledge.

"Okay, well uhm, what do we do? Where are we going to cook, and do we have staff and..."
"Wait he was going to call me this morning."

The romantic time was over and the lovers got up to look for Hinata's phone. While searching Itachi jogged down the steps to see all the officers across the street. He heard the drawers shutting and closing and his heart slumped.

Sounds like she's putting her clothes on. Guess no more sex.

He sighed at the truth when he heard the shower going. Itachi pouted like a child. Then Hinata said through the door.

"I found something for you to put on. I'll be out in a minute."

Damn it. He thought.

The bathroom door flung open and she said to him...

"Course if you join me we..."

He was already half way up the steps.

At the precinct Neji felt his heart sink lower and lower, as Hanabi told the half story of the fight. She rung her hands nervously and Hiashi simply could not fanthom all that was happening.

"So who fired the gun?" The officer said again.
"I-I-I don't know."
"You told us your sister shot herself in the foot, or was that a lie?"

"Well, I know she did bu-bu-bu-but, uhm maybe she dropped it and it went off, or one of the guards fired it."
She knew she had held the gun for a moment and struggled with the guard, but the tension made her mind fuzzy and her body quiver in fright.

"I'm sorry sir, but unless you plan to formally charge anyone we are walking out of here." Neji said as he noted the tone changed and the apparent edge the police had was more than what he had. He already knew Hanabi would need him in the courtroom.
"Well, sir, are you her lawyer?"
"Yes, I am."
"Well we were not made aware of that, and why does she need a lawyer if she has nothing to worry about. If the shooting was an accident then it's possible that it could simply be a wrongful death case, or second degree murder from negligence or..."
The rest of his words were white noise as Hanabi watched her life flash before her eyes.

"No! NO!" She screamed and bolted out of the precinct.
"Hanabi, wait!"
She ran out of the office alluding the police and running full sprint across the busy street towards downtown Norfolk. She cried to herself at the dilemma she was in and before the police gave chase Neji stopped them with this warning.
"Unless you charge her then I suggest you don't give chase. She's simply a scared witness to a homicide. I will contact you later and we will gather any information you need for us to go to court."
"Mr. Hyugga we will need her back for questioning along with all the others at that residence at that time. The son of the man killed wants answers and a conviction and we plan to serve justice at all cost."

Neji bowed slightly and jogged outside to see if he could find Hanabi. Hiashi had chased her when she left so he hoped his uncle would call him when he caught her. The Hyuuga Clan would have dark days ahead.

Itachi gave one last kiss to Hinata before she pried him off of her hips to look for her phone. The two had talked more seriously as they dressed, and decided that they would take this new job with faith; all would work out.

"Hey, here it is."

The agent had left a message. As Itachi listened Hinata wondered how they would get out the house since it was cops all over and the neighbors were outside also. When Itachi hung up he told her they had to meet at the Scope no later than eleven to prep and prepare. The first group would be served at three on the dot, which was Hot Blossom. Before he could finish speaking with her he got a call from an unexpected voice.

"Hello? Asuma?"

"Ye-yes, Itachi? I'm sorry but I uhm was just checking on you."
Itachi could tell something was wrong and his spirit shivered.
"Well things are uhm well developing rapidly, to say the least, but how are you and the family?"
"I'm uhm, hanging in there. I don't want to be a bother, but I'll pray for you as always and just pray for me and the kids."
Itachi felt a horrible twist in his stomach but he didn't want to pry since Asuma sounded weaker than normal on the phone.
"Well I'll talk to you in a couple of hours, I'm headed out okay?"
"Sure kid. Take care and kiss that wonderful woman of yours. Remember how precious she is and how love is stronger than anything."
With a sniff he hung up and Itachi wanted to go into more detail, yet the phone clicked off. Then it rang again.

"Hello?"
"Itachi?" Itachi had to sit down after hearing that voice.
Hinata watched his face become ghost white and she could see turmoil in his eyes.
"I know it's you. I'm the one that delivered you into this world and the one that'll take you out of it you ungrateful brat."

He snapped the phone shut and he began to tremble. Hinata hugged him while he sat on the couch.
"What's wrong? Who were those calls from?"
Itachi couldn't think at the moment and the flood gates of information swished about his head to the point he felt dizzy. Hinata smacked him across his cheek enough to get his attention.

"You have to get it together beloved. We have a job to do and we can't space out now. That's for later...agreed."
He stared at her blankly. One good hand, one bandaged hand rested on hips of a woman that had nothing to loose. Literally.

Watching the clock she noticed it was almost ten thirty and they would have to get out of the house quick and to the train station if they were going to make their appointment on time.

"C'mon Itachi..."
She tugged his hand leading him to the back of the house. She had on black slacks and black shirt with a bag that her checks and cards were in along with other personals.
"How good of a jumper are you?"
He quirked an eyebrow and looked at her. When she opened the back door he saw the fence he'd scaled before, when he ran to her house. Then he smiled.
"Well, I'd better be the best, or I'll rip these pants."
She grinned at him, with her heart unsteady at their future and he clutched her hand as they made a dash for the fence.
Up and over they went. He helped her and they quickly walked to the station. They arrived at the Scope garage door at eleven fifteen in time to talk to the agent and seal the deal.

Tenten watched the officers moving about and Kiba moaned at how heavy Akamaru was.
"Well now what buddy?"
"Just put me out. I"ll figure out something. Can I use your phone though? I need to call my friends."
She handed over the phone and Sasuke picked up.

"Yes, walking shit pile?"
"Man, you're even crankier than my sister on the 'd you know it was me?"
"UNG! You like a damn disease that's incurable. Why won't you people let me shit in peace!" He strained.
"Well, can I come to your place? I found my dog and..."
"Hell to the fuck naw man! You trashed this place and they got special enzymes for the funk they can't power wash out the carpet. Where the hell are you?"
"Uhm outside the street where Hina lives. Looks like the cops are yo, wait..."
KIba and TenTen could see a body being brought out and they both winced.
"Yo Sasuke, I think you'd better let me come to you. There's a dead body being brought out of the house, looks like from across Hina's place and I got a bad feeling about this."

Sasuke had a pounding in his head and a stinging in his tail.

SHIT!

"Okay! Okay! Just meet me outside the hotel and remember your dog is not allowed. We'll have to find out where Itachi and Hinata are and see if they're still in the house."
"If so your brother's got stamina of a damn army."
"Hunh?"
"Yeah, they were knocking some serious boots, and a couple of pictures too."
""Hold that thought and story. I HAVE to have details, friend."

The last word rolled off of Sasuke's tongue like caramel. Anytime he could get the good on his holier than thou brother he was all ears. Even though he knew Kiba could lie before, his gut told him it was bound to happen. When he hung up he finished his business and rallied his guards when he opened the door he was greeted by Kakashi.

"Well if it isn't one of the run-away-idiots."
"Aw, shit. Seriously?"
"Yep, and your mom is in the hotel across the street."
"Seriously!" He said with mixed joy and surprise.
"And your father is in a hotel in Virginia Beach on the water."
"What da FUCK!"

The game was about to change from bad to worst.
