Annoying. It was the only word that could describe the whole situation. Annoyed, Itachi jumped from roof top to roof top looking for Sasuke and Hinata. A deep growl grew in the back on his throat as he thought of the Hyuga girl. He was supposed to be concerned with her feelings? How utterly annoying. Red swirled in his eyes as he tried to recall how this all started in the first place, however, a sharp pain in his head caused him to mis-step as he landed rather hard on a restaurant roof. Again, the only word that came to mind was annoying. Taking deep breaths he jumped down to the street and entered the restaurant. A cold glass of water was what he needed. And maybe massive amounts of painkillers, though he was certain they would not have that there. The pain in his head grew worse as he saw Sasuke eating a sundae...with Hinata. He had to admit Sasuke looked very happy with the girl, but Sasuke would have to learn that life can be full of disappointments. Taking another deep breath Itachi decided to start working on Hinata. Hopefully she would instantly hate him and make his life so much easier.

Hinata looked up and was shocked to see a very pale Itachi walking towards her. The beads of sweat that had gathered on his forehead and his heavy breathing, made Hinata very concerned, especially as he got closer and she could see the faint swirling of the Sharigan in his eyes.

"Hinata...Sasuke..we need to..." Itachi gasped out as he stood before the booth, but was cut off as he felt an odd feeling from his nose.

"Itachi!" Hinata said as she rushed out of her seat and grabbed a napkin. This was bad, Itachi's nose had started to bleed...a lot.

Murmers from other restaurant patons started to reach Hinata's ears and glancing at a very frightened Sasuke she knew that she had to get him out of there.

Activating the Byakugan, Hinata looked for the quickest route to the hospital, though through her vision she saw an immense amount of chakra gathered behind Itachi's eyes. Hinata's eyes widened as she saw Itachi's body sway, and then collapse on the floor.

The only word that came out of Itachi's mouth as he fell was "annoying."

hmm...super short...but I wasn't planning on writing for this anyway, but with the new year a snippet came out. Not sure when or if I'll update this again (especially since I'm not quite sure what i was doing with this...), but I'm slowly getting back into writing mode. well I'll see how long it lasts.

Happy New Year!
