Hello everyone, guess what?! I'm able to upload again on Fanfiction!

I really want to take some time to thank everyone who reviewed and read the fic. It makes me happy to have people appreciate my work. I'll be putting out chapters at a faster rate now, two a week if I'm lucky. N e way, thank you all.

Disclaimer: Sadly, Naruto does not belong to me. Yet...(just kidding!)

Itachi rushed(Ack! He actually rushed!) to his bedroom window to look out in to the forest . He could see oh-so-clearly the part where the trees met the night sky, when before he had only been able to see 200 feet in front of him, not nearly as well as a normal person could. His eyesight was sharp once again. It was then that he realized the gift that had been bestowed on him.

Hinata...

I didn't mean to hurt him. Honest. Hinata was half asleep, but her thoughts focused mainly on Itachi.

What if it didn't work? Maybe I blinded him instead of restoring his sight...he was closest thing I had to a friend here. Even though he is a mean baka . And now he left me. Jerk. Hinata opened her eyes and realized it was morning. Sitting up, she realized she wasn't in the same position as she was before. Someone had moved her from where she had been sprawled on the floor to the bed. A blanket was pulled over her, and her head rested on a soft pillow.

Did Itachi come back? She looked around the room and saw that he wasn't there. She did notice, however, that a pitcher of water and a glass were on a desk next to her bed.

Gratefully gulping down some water, Hinata then realized she was starving. She stumbled to the door(she still felt weak) and turned the handle. Surprisingly it swung open. Itachi must have left it unlocked just in case she needed something. Walking straight down the hallway Hinata opened a door to a room that was most likely a kitchen. Pots and pans hung from hooks in the walls, and an oven with a stove attachment was lounging in a far corner. Looking around in the cupboards she found only rice and 3-minute ramen packets. The fridge was a lot more promising; there was plastic bag of seaweed and and cold cuts of fish. If I can remember anything about cooking, I may be able to make a hand-roll or something... Her thoughts were interrupted as she heard whispering behind her.

" Y'think she gonna cook something?"

"I dunno, that's why we bought her here in the first place."

"I'm sick of ramen...yeah. "

"Shut up, ya pansy. You claim to have experience in cooking yet all you can do is boil water...and you suck at that as well!" This was the same harsh voice that called her to dinner the night before.

" Yeah, well at least I don't throw a raw fish in a bowl and call it dinner."The voice was a bit deep. As Hinata turned around she saw that the speaker was a tall man with long blond hair. Some of it was pulled up into a ponytail on top of his head. One of his eyes was covered by his hair, and his other eye was blue. It was wide and friendly, and looking at him made Hinata feel a little less scared of her situation. There man next him was also tall(way taller in fact),but seemed more shark-like in appearance. There were gills on his cheeks and his skin(and hair)was bluish. All of his teeth were shark-like. The two of them were in the doorway and, judging from the fact that they were whispering meant that they were spying on her. A third man appeared in the doorway and Hinata could see that he was shorter than the others. He looked very young. His hair was dark red and he seemed to have a drowsy look in his eyes.

"Hey you two, cut that out." The two men stopped arguing immediately. This new guy seemed very authoritative. His voice was smooth and calm, yet it also commanded respect. "Can't you two stop arguing long enough to see that the girl is watching you?"

All three men looked at her. And she looked back.

"Umm," said the blond one nervously. "Maybe we should introduce ourselves. My name is Deidara. Shark-man here is Kisame Hoshigaki. And the guy who looks young but is twice my is Sasori."

"H-hi,"Hinata returned Deidara's greeting politely.

"We were just wondering if you knew how to cook. It's one of the reasons why you were brought here." Kisame cut straight to the point.

"I'm not that good a cook, you know."

"You don't have to be a chef. What kind of meals did you cook?" This last comment came from Sasori.

"Well, because I live by myself I made only small meals. Like Instant Ramen." Hinata was a bit surprised when Deidara sat down on the floor and covered his face in his hands. Bending down, Hinata

asked him:

"What is the matter?"

"Nothing's wrong...yeah,"was the sulky reply she got back.

"Don't mind Deidara,."growled Kisame. "He's been eating ramen for the past eight years."

"I do know how to make sushi or hand-rolls. If you want."

"Thank you." Deidara fixed her with beautiful smile.

She had just finished making breakfast when Itachi walked in.

"Itachi!"Hinata realized just then how much she had been worried about him. "Where were you?"

"On a mission."Itachi sat down next to Kisame, and she noticed that his eyes were at his regular sharingan version."You cooked this?"

" Yes."Hinata was nervous. She hoped he liked it.

"It tastes nice. I like hand-rolls."

That reply of Itachi's set off a chain reaction. Sasori had a coughing fit, Kisame blew milk out his nose, and Deidara choked on a mouthful of fish.

"What is the matter with you all? Hinata, put down that pitcher."

Hinata had been pouring water into a cup. At Itachi's answer she had stared at him shock, not realizing the cup was about to overflow. Blushing she set it down, not quite meeting him in the eyes.

"Right, Sasori and I have a mission,"Deidara said, making a quick escape for the door, dragging his partner behind him. "Thanks for the food. Love it."

" Are you all divided into teams?"Hinata was curious to know.

"Yeah. Kisame's my partner."

"Oh."

Kisame got up.

"I've got to meet the leader about something. See you later."

That left Hinata and Kisame alone at the table.

"Hinata." Itachi looked at her. "Will you come with me for a moment.?"

" Sure."

"Let's go."

Before you all kill me for such a short chapter, I will repeat that the chapters will gradually become longer. I am new at this. Anyway, the later chapters will show different sides of Itachi and Hinata.

I'm also working on a new songfic with the Red Hot Chili Peppers' song "Snow(Hey Oh)" I really need ideas about who to do it about. Anyway, please review!

Itachi:...

Me: What? What are you looking at?

Itachi: An idiot.

Me: Itachi, if you don't stop badmouthing people I may have to punish you.

Itachi: Look, kid, I'm like five years older than you. What are you gonna do, smack me upside the head? Too bad, cuz I'm taller than you.

Me: I was going to give you a kissing scene with Kisame.

Itachi...(small voice) I'll be good...

Me: Good boy.

I'm so evil. But nice as well. .
