I don't own Naruto characters.
I was wrong the lemon is actually in the next chapter but since no one read the last update tis no issue. This was so short i figured I'd go ahead and post this up this week. Have a great week and weekend. Those romance folks just sit tight. I know you want to get the relationship, just give me time to lay out the floor plan. Thanks for keeping with me!
Chapter Four – Eternity's Forever
"Hinata! Hinata!" Sasuke yelled as he watched her soft white skin try to return to some sort of color other than ghost gray.
Hoisting her up, he ran to the living room frantic.
While searching in the cabinets he heard a yelp and cough. She was alive.
"Hina?!"
"Ugh…"
Her eyes were void of color and he almost fainted.
What the hell? He wondered.
"What happened?" She whispered. In two blinks her eyes were soft lavender again.
"What happened? You tell me!" He heaved sweating profusely.
"Well…I-I-I uhm…" She realized something must've happened but she couldn't lie.
"I did the hand technique on Itachi." Sasuke ran to the toilet to vomit.
"I-I- kn-nu-nu know you said that I-I-I sh-sh-shouldn't…"
"Hinata…Itachi's soul is not human. He is a pure demon. He gave his humanity up for me. He took on the cursed seal of Rapheal because he wanted to save my life from being cursed. Only the angels are to do such things and his soul is connected to hell and heaven. If he ever breaks his promise of servitude he will be sealed for the service of Satan and the members of the clan will die."
She pushed pass Sasuke to vomit in the toilet also. After a moment to collect themselves.
"Oh…I-I-.."
"Don't worry. It's too late now. I have no idea what the angel of fate will do, or if they will simply watch us sweat."
Sighing he thought a moment and ran down the steps. Itachi's body looked as if it had been moved.
Hinata followed feeling dizzy, yet her belly had a strange burning sensation. As she approached Itachi, his head moved side to side slowly.
"He looks like he's coming to. Maybe he's totally healed." Sasuke knelt down by him and peered into a still badly beaten face with dehydrated skin and a ghastly shade of pale blue.
"Itachi….can, you hear me?" He whispered.
There was no response. Hinata took one of the needles from the desk and pricked her finger. Squeezing the tip until it ran down her hand she started to lean over to his face. Itachi's eyes rolled half open. Onyx orbs stared at the dripping blood. His mouth opened slightly.
"Guess you got what he needs." Sasuke said, moving out of her way. She smiled and placed her finger into his mouth. His lips closed about her bleeding digit and his eyes rolled shut. Hinata let a groan out as the pull of her life's water tingled her hand, yet warmed her soul. She blushed deep rose.
Sasuke watched as Itachi inhaled and upon his exhale his wings spread out from his back again. His arms came to life. His legs shifted position and his eyes re-opened transfixed on her.
Pulling free from his mouth Hinata somehow knew it was enough blood at the moment, before it was too much. Sasuke quirked an eyebrow. Itachi licked his lips while he turned his head about again.
"C'mon man, say something! Itachi can you hear me? Ni-san please speak to me."
"What...?" Itachi croaked while turning to face Sasuke with a growing frown.
"What? What do you mean what?! Are, are you okay? Are you healing? Are you…"
"Going to beat you senseless when I regain full motion of my leg? Yes…yes I am."
The threat surprised Hinata and Sasuke while they watched Itachi struggle to sit up.
"Look, you should lay back down and…"
"Rest?" He growled.
"Itachi…we're just trying to…"
"Fuck up all of my life's work? Well that's just what has happened. No one asked for the interference and…"
"Don't take that tone with your brother you ungrateful, mean spirited bloak! How dare you yell at him for something I did. If you want to be angry be angry with me!"
Hinata couldn't believe the anger she felt nor the tone she took with him. Sasuke along with Itachi were equally unprepared.
"I don't remember when it became okay, for an outsider to meddle in family business, but I respectfully hold my comments for you because you are a lady. Don't push my patience however, I'm still terribly weak." As he continued to move, his tigers groan rolled from his lips.
"Itachi! Don't threaten her either. If it wasn't for Hinata you'd still be looking like shredded demon wheat and your fucking heart would've been spilled all over the floor."
Sasuke was standing now with his fist clenched as Itachi sat up with the broken leg out and the other folded in while he rested most of his weight on the palms his hands.
"Don't get ahead of yourself…little man. Even weak, I will clean the floor up with you so watch your mouth, and as for you…"
Hinata wore a face of confusion and sadness, and when Itachi looked at her, sweeping his eyes to meet hers it happened.
He hunched over. A stabbing feeling in his chest almost made him collapse. His breathing became labored and his head drummed with a fierce tempo.
"Itachi! "Sasuke said while kneeling down to aid him again.
"No, stayback." Hinata said standing to her feet.
Sasuke looked at her like she was stupid and she knelt down close to Itachi's face. In a soothing voice she spoke to him…
"Drink what you need and no more. I will sustain you." Her heart was almost in step with his drumming migraine. The flush of blood racing throughout her body sang to his dry palate and he leaned over and bit deeply into her neck. Sasuke started to step foreward when he felt his brother's demonic shield push him back.
"What the hell?! Itachi! You'll kill her! Itachi stop it!"
Within moments Hinata's body jerked and shivered. Itachi gulped a large amount before pulling off allowing fulfillment to roll through him. With blood shot eyes and wings outstretched he flapped them once which helped him stand to the good leg, simultaneously picking up the limp body of Hinata. Sasuke could finally reach out and touch her.
"What the…"
"No time. Help me take her somewhere to lay down. She needs to eat soon."
They got up the steps and layed Hinata in the room across from Sasuke's room. When she was sound asleep Sasuke turned to look at Itachi. His scribbled expression was enough to show his confusion.
"No Sasuke none of this makes sense, and yes, I will give you the answers through my thoughts, but we have a huge problem. Hinata tapped into my soul and now well, she is a part of me and I am a part of her. My body is healing faster because of the pure essence of love of life that she has. Her soul was soo strong and her wanting to save my life so great she almost died, but her will not to let me go is what helped her. My soul was taking over hers and instead of her rejecting it, she allowed her spirit to embrace my own despite the pain. Hinata possesses an unfathomable amount of hope and to her I am indebted. But that could cause issues. We have to find out if she will bear any properties of the curse seal."
Sasuke gave himself a huge facepalm.
"Then we need to find out how to get into the puzzle box. It's the only thing that holds the answer to dissolving the seal. When you are sealed by angels it doesn't just go away. They either have to take it away or you are sealed forever."
"So…she's cursed also?"
"Yeah."
Itachi hung his head while Hinata slept. The pain in his chest made him wince. Someone so innocent was now possibly damned for eternity along with all of her descendants.
