The Indigo haired beauty sighed deeply, and closed her eye's, her brows furrowed in thought... Until she threw herself onto her bed.. Still shaking as Itachi's words swirled around in her head..

She had ran from him yet again..

If I close my eye's your here, always...

She gasped and clutched her chest , breathless from the agony, and shook herself to clear her thoughts. She refused to think about him now, her murderer, the one who broke her heart, was in the other room, only a wall in between them.

Silent sobs filled her, why couldn't she let go of him?

When I woke up, we did nothing more than, exchange kisses while finishing up our goodbyes...

Did he just enjoy causing her pain? Is that why he came back only to disappear?..

And leave her broken..

She shuddered at the memories that filled her mind, and forced herself to focus on something else, it was only a matter of time before he disappeared again..

Though despite all of her rationatal thinking... She had to admit a tiny part of her was happy to see him again..

Though it was largely overruled by the fear of getting hurt again..

For when I realized you weren't there, your warmth.. I'll never forget it...

The tear's were warm and when she stood and looked into the mirror she realized, she was crying tear's of blood. It stained her pale cheeks a deep crimson..

A ten year old Hinata ran after a fading figurein the shadow's of the training grounds,

" Tachi wait!" Her soft voice pleaded, breaking the eerie feeling that hung like a shroud around both of them,

The figure turned to face her, instead of the deep onyx eye's she had been expecting she was met by haunting crimson eye's that watched her for a moment , before fading to black.

"Hina, you shouldn't be here.." He murmured, using the pet name he had given her when she was younger..

"Don't leave me.." She murmured, ignoring his previous statement.. " Please, Stay."

She whispered firmly searching his eye's for some sort of reaction, but found nothing..

" I can't..." He said finally, before slowly kneeling to her height.. " I can't" He said again, his mouth hung open for a moment, like hee was going to say something but hesitated, " But I'll come back for you one day Hinata...One day it will be safe for me to come back to you..." He promised as he closed his eye's and pressed one last kiss to her forehead. " Wait for me.." He murmured, though Hianta knew.. That was his way of begging..

She smiled weakly and began to tremble.." Promise me Tachi.." She trailed off , unsure of herself, " Promise me, we will always belong to each other, Promise me , you will never forget me." She said finally , as tears of blood trailed down her cheek's.

Itachi caught one with his thumb and licked it slowly.. " Forever," He promised before adding. " As long as you wait for me.."

Hinata embraced her childhood love.. " I won't believe them Itachi.." she whispered before pulling away, for the first time that night Itachi smiled,

A smile he reserved for only her.

" I know.. I have to leave now Hinata.." He said slowly.. Tearing himself to pieces mentally as he watched his soulmate fall to pieces.. " I love you.." The look on his face told her, he was surprised he said it himself.

" I love you too."

Hinata held her knees and began to sob harder, she had sealed her fate so long ago, she stood shakily and opened her door slowly, and saw Itachi looking back at her with a pained look in his eyes..

You left me behind, I've converted to the past.. Theres only anguish..

Itachi caught her before she hit the ground, and held her loosely by her waist,

" This doesn't mean I forgive you, " She murmured into his chest.

Itachi nodded and sighed heavily, " I don't expect you too.."

"Then why are you here?"

The was a silence until finally he answered.

" Because I promised.."

He hesitated, " Because I'm in love with you."
