Hana was released from the hospital soon after, and she returned the hamster and continued going on missions. She would occasionally stop by the cabin and look in the window, but it was always empty, due to the genjutsu. Some days she would try to undo the genjutsu, but always got knocked off her feet. The next time she saw Uchiha Itachi he was with his young brother, Uchiha Sasuke. Sasuke was on Itachi's back as they walked through the village, it was the first time that she had seen the moody prodigy smile, he seemed to really love his brother. They had stopped in front of the police building, and then continued, Hana smiled at them before walking home to meet her little brother, Kiba.
One morning, Hana awoke early and without waking the Haimaru Sankyodai, she slipped out of the house and started to walk through the village. She didn't even realize where she was going until she got there, standing in front of the small cabin in the woods. Walking up to the door she formed some hand seals and tapped it. Then she pushed on the door, but nothing happened. So she started kicking and banging on the door, all while yelling at the man inside.
" Itachi! OPEN THIS DOOR!" she shouted while still trying to break down the door, then it opened, and she felt the fist that was about to hit the door, hit something softer, mainly Itachi's nose. He grunted removing her fist and holding his nose.
" What the hell are you doing?" he snarled, checking if his nose was bleeding, " all you hand to do was turn the bloody doorknob! Usuratonkachi!"
" Oh," Hana said awkwardly, trying the doorknob, " I see." Itachi rolled his eyes and walked back over to his desk, and started to write. She walked over to the bed and sat down, leaning against the desk, resting her head on top of the desk. Itachi muttered something as he moved her ponytail off the paper that he was trying to write on. She sighed loudly, and heard him grinding his teeth so smirking she started whistling. He let out a low growl, and she stopped until the pen had touched the paper again, then she started up again. This continued for some time until Itachi stood up angrily knocking his chair to the floor.
" What do you want!?" he snapped angrily, she looked up at him calmly and shrugged, he closed his eyes, counting to ten, then he stood his chair up and sat down again.
" Hey Itachi?" Hana said staring at the ceiling, she heard his low murmur of acknowledgement, " sorry I hit you."
" It's fine," he said, she pulled out a kunai and started spinning it in her hand, " why are you here?"
" Because it was early and I felt like getting out of the house," she replied, turning to look at him she rested her arms on the desk, " why were you here?"
" This is my cabin," he replied moving her arms off the desk, " I prefer it to my house."
" Why?" Hana asked, he glared at her, " well I mean, you live on the Uchiha estate, why would you prefer this dump. Your house is huge!"
" That doesn't mean it is better," Itachi said softly, staring at the wall, " I prefer it here, it's more peaceful, and quiet… or at least it was." He glanced at her, as she laughed turning and leaning against the desk again. She missed the small smile that tugged at his lips.
" So do you have a mission today?" she asked him, he shook his head, " well neither do I. You know what?"
" What?" he asked, dropping his pen, knowing he'd never get any work done today.
" We should go and get some food," Hana said looking back at him, he stared at her blankly, " well I skipped breakfast and you must be hungry. So lets go get some yakisoba!"
" I don't like yakisoba," Itachi said wrinkling his nose, Hana rolled her eyes and stood up heading for the door, his voice stopped her, " but I might be up for some dango…"
" All right!" Hana said smiling, Itachi sighed, " dango it is!"
" Yeah, fine," he said picking up a paper and reading it, " but I need to finish this report first…"
" Screw the report," Hana said grabbing his arm and dragging him away from the desk, he barely had time to hit the light before she hauled him out the door, " you need to lighten up and have some fun!"
" I don't have time for fun," Itachi said, pulling his arm back and placing the genjutsu on the cabin again.
" Everyone has to have time for fun," Hana said as they walked back to the village, Itachi just shook his head, " well then you need to make time!"
" I'm an ANBU captain," he said looking over at her, " I have to train for missions, I'm supposed to be the best Uchiha ever! Do you have any idea what that's like?"
" Nope," Hana replied simply, Itachi's eye twitched.
" Thought so," he said, closing his eyes.
" But your already the best," Hana said, his eyes opened and he glanced at her, " so why do you need to keep trying to be the best, when your already the best?"
" Uh… my father," Itachi said trying to think of an answer.
" Does your father control your life?" Hana asked him, he stared at her for a moment then shook his head slowly, " then your going to have time for fun from now on! Okay?"
" Uh… I guess," Itachi, said slowly, Hana punched him in the arm he looked over.
" Promise?" Hana asked him, holding out her hand, he glanced down at it and sighed, taking her hand.
" Promise," Itachi said, releasing her hand. They walked in silence until the dango shop.
