Disclaimer: Um … you know I don't own Naruto by now, right? I hope so!

"A picture lasts a life time, but so does a memory."

I headed for Calculus II, the first final of the many. I sat down and soon after the Akatsuki filed in. Itachi was the last one in and looked at me as he headed to his spot, but I couldn't look at him in the eyes. I was about to leave him forever and I just couldn't bring myself to look into his gorgeous eyes and see how much he was hurting to not know my answer and to know that those eyes would be hurting when I told him I was leaving to go back to America. I just couldn't.

"I can't believe it's already finals! This is fucking messed up!" Hidan yelled.

"Agreed! I say we shouldn't have finals and we go eat out! Who's with me, un?" Deidara asked just as Kakashi walked in.

"You're on time today Kakashi." I said dumbfounded. He smiled.

"It's finals day. Now, you all have the whole class period to do this final, if you get done early don't talk." Kakashi said as he handed out our final.

"Begin." And that's how it was all day. We had all of our finals in one day to get it over with. I thought it was much better than making it last forever like we did in America, but hey, either way worked.

At the end of the day, all of the teachers posted the grades in the main hall for everyone to see. I waited for the stampede to finish before I checked my grades. I got high A's on all of my finals, putting me in up with of the Uchiha's. I was happy with my accomplishment.

"Andrea! Nice job on your finals!" Naruto said running up to me.

"Thanks! How did you do?" He smiled.

"I got mostly B's, but one C and one A!"

"Nice job! How are you and Sasuke?"

"We are great. Thank you! And we both owe you too for it. If it wasn't for your plan-"

"You would have sooner or later found out. It's okay, I promise. I am just happy that you are happy." I said as Naruto and I walked outside in the courtyard where people were talking about how they were going to different parts of the world for summer vacation.

"I have to go find Sasuke, but I'll talk to you later!" He said as he ran. I waved and then noticed a shadow behind me. I turned to find Itachi.

"Hey." I said.

"Have you decided?" I knew he was going to ask me that.

"Yes." I said looking away from him, but he grabbed my chin and gently made me look at him in the eyes.

"And?"

"I … am … going back." I saw the hurt in his eyes. I knew I was going to hurt him and my friends, but I wanted to be back in my native country. I wanted to see all of my friends again and I wanted to start a new with my parents. And in order to do that, I needed to go back home.

"I see." Itachi let go of my chin and began to walk away, but I grabbed his shirt, like I did back when he carried me to his bed. He stopped and turned around. That's when I kissed him on the lips. He kissed back, neither of us caring that we were outside with everyone to watch the little scene. We poured everything we could into that kiss. It was gentle, but yet strong, warm, but still cold. After a minute of kissing, we broke away so we both could breath.

"I am sorry, but I need to patch up things between my family and me. I do like you and I am sorry that we can't stay together. You have no idea how much I wish we could be together and for me to work things out between my parents and me." I said hugging him. He hugged me back tightly and didn't say anything for a while.

"I understand. I want you to stay, but I also want you and you parents to be okay." He said letting me go. We both looked at each other for a while and then I turned and walked away. I was never going to see him again. My flight was going to be later in the day and I was never coming back. I looked back to see if he was still there, but I didn't see him. I felt tears in my eyes as I headed to pack my things. As I entered my dorm, I was pushed to the floor in a hug.

"I can't believe you are leaving! I am going to miss you so much!" Sakura said to me as she helped me up.

"I am going to miss you too." Then she saw my tears and she hugged me again.

"Oh, I am so sorry Andrea. Don't worry, you will get over him, just give it time!" But the thing was I wasn't going to forget him. Even if I did get a boyfriend, I would always picture Itachi; making whatever relationship I get into a fake because I would see only Itachi.

"Thanks. I need to pack, but it was nice having you as a roommate." I said packing my things.

"Yeah, it was fun. Here, I got you this. Konan took it when you kissed Itachi." I took the picture from Sakura and then I realized why Konan had smiled at me at the party. She had taken a picture of my dare to kiss Itachi. I laughed. I was never going to get rid of the picture.

"Thank you." I said to her as I continued to pack. Once I was finished, I headed my way down the elevator. In the elevator I ran into Konan.

"Thank you for taking that picture." She smiled and hugged me.

"Your welcome. I will miss you, but you have fun in America, okay?" I nodded.

"I will. Say goodbye to the Akatsuki for me, okay?" I asked.

"Of course. I guess this is it. It was fun while you were here. I know I won't forget you." I smiled and then we were on the main floor. I said goodbye and went to the front of the school to see Kakashi there. I smiled.

"You my ride back to the airport?"

"Yes ma'am! Let's get going shall we?" He took my suitcases and put them in the limo that had brought me to the Mikasawa Academy. I got in and so did Kakashi. It was nostalgic. I remembered how I was unhappy coming to Japan and how I didn't want to be here, but then I had realized how much I had come to like Japan. I made friends; I had even almost gotten a boyfriend. I was happy and now I was leaving.

"How did you like the academy?" Kakashi asked me. I looked at him and smiled.

"It was great. You were right; I did learn to like it."

"I am always right." I laughed.

"Sure you are Kakashi-sensei." He smiled and the rest of the way I looked at Japan. It was so beautiful. The people were so nice and respectful. The language was graceful, yet powerful. The culture was amazing, and the food was just plain good! I was going to miss Japan. But I would always have my memories.

"We're here." Kakashi said getting out. I followed and Kakashi gave me my bags.

"Thanks for everything Kakashi." I said hugging him.

"It's what I am here for." He said.

"I guess this is goodbye. It was good to get to know you."

"Likewise. Good luck in America." Kakashi said as he turned around back to the limo. I turned around and made my way to the terminal. I got my backs checked in and made my way to the airplane. I sat down next to the window so I could see Japan for the last time and I got out my IPod. I was about to listen to Japanese music when someone spoke to me.

"May I sit here?" I didn't look up when I answered.

"Sure." I was still kind of sad of leaving and I was even sadder when I took out the picture of Itachi and me kissing.

"That's a good picture, too bad he looks like he is taking advantage of you. You look drunk." That was it. Itachi would never do such a thing. I turned to the person next to me about to slap their face, when I saw who it was.

"No way. You … you … school … Japan … how?" I couldn't get it all out. The guy just smiled.

"I couldn't just the one person I fell in love with get away form me, now could I?" I hugged him with a death grip. He laughed.

"I'm guessing you are happy?" I stopped hugging him and looked at his face.

"But how? Is it official? You aren't just, like, running away?" That made him laugh harder.

"It's official, don't worry, the cops wont come looking for me." I was so happy.

"You have no idea how happy I am right now." I said to him. He smiled and held me close.

"Me too." Then a thought came to me.

"But where are you going to stay?"

"We have Uchiha residences all over the world. We even have one in Seattle."

"How come I never knew about that?" I asked.

"We don't like to broadcast that we have houses pretty much everywhere in the world." It made sense.

"So, are you staying until we graduate and then going back or are you staying for college?"

"I don't know. Where are you going to college?" I laughed.

"I don't know, but I guess we have time to think about it, huh?"

"Yes we do." He said. Then we fell into a comfortable silence. I was going back to my family and friends and to top it off, Itachi was coming with me. I don't know how he convinced his parents to let him come with me, but as long as he was happy and was with me, I didn't care. Life was good, even if there were bumps in it, it eventually evened out.

"Are you wearing my shirt?" Itachi asked me. I smiled. Yup, life was good.
