Marina opened her eyes an hour later and looked over to see itachi asleep. She placed her hand to his forehead. He was still burning up but stable. She smiled and got up. She froze feeling him grab her wrist. She looked back at him and saw him looking up at her.
She smiled. "Go back to sleep." She whispered. He said nothing.
She slowly laid back down and stared at him. He sat up and never broke eye contact. She smirked.
"You should go to bed and sleep while your still able to." She said. "The second I do you'll leave and I don't want that so if staying awake all night means you'll stay then I'll stay awake." He whispered. She stared at him and smiled.
She sat up. "What do I have to do to get you to go to sleep and break this fever?" She asked. He stared at her a second then lifted his hand and brushed his fingertips down her cheekbone. She stared at him his eyes searching hers for weakness. She watched as he grew closer and slowly but gently kissed her.
She sat there for a minute then slowly put her arms around his neck and kissed him back. She smiled to herself knowing that he would not remember this in the morning when he awoke but decided to at least do this so that he would sleep. He drew back and stared down at her. She smiled seeing that this was his self-conscious in control and that the real him was resting somewhere.
"Do you still love me at all?" He whispered brushing her hair from her face. She stared at him. "No." she whispered.
He stared at her and smiled. "You're a bad liar." He whispered. She smiled back at him.
"I'm sorry." He whispered burying his face in her chest. She stared at him in confusion. "What for?" she asked putting her arms around him.
"I didn't mean for it to happen." He whispered shakily.
She felt her shirt grow damp and froze realizing that he was crying. She hugged him tight and rubbed his back.
"No I'm sorry I should have never said it was your fault." She said. "You didn't know." She whispered. He slowly sat up and stared down at her.
"You have to know that the reason I didn't kill you was because." He stopped. "Because what?" She asked.
He stared at her and she saw his control over himself start to return. She smiled. He looked confused as to why he was on top of her.
"Good he doesn't remember." She thought. He slowly moved off of her. "What happened?" he asked staring at the ceiling.
"You rolled over on top of me." She said. He looked over at her. "I'm sorry." He said.
"So you've said." she whispered under her breath.
She slowly moved out of the bed. Good night. she said standing. He stared at her as she left and sighed as the door clicked shut behind her.
"What just happened?" He thought. Marina smiled and laughed as she walked over to her room and laid down. "He hasn't changed." she thought. She smiled.
"You're a bad liar." She thought remembering what his subconscious had said. She sighed.
"Your right I am a bad liar but you'll never know that." She whispered. "I still love you but I'm still going to kill you." She sighed in relief and closed her eyes as she drifted off to sleep.
