A/N: It's not really important, but FUN FACT: Today at school for lunch there was blueberry frozen yoghurt. Guess who I thought about? Haha ok, here's chapter 26!

January 13th

Hinata woke up to the sound of her cell phone. She took her hand from underneath the pillow and grabbed the phone without bothering to see who it was.

"Leave m-me alone I d-don't wanna talk t-to you-"

"What?"

Then she opened her eyes and rolled over to look at the blue ceiling of her house "Itachi?"

"Yeah who else would it be?"

"N-no one…" she lied; Ten-Ten and Kakashi had been constantly calling and texting her. To wish a happy birthday, a merry Christmas, a happy new year… and to explain, but she never gave them a chance.

"So what did you want?"

"Oh, I just wanted to tell you that me and my brother won't come back to school until next week, we're in another country and out flight got cancelled"

"Oh…" she looked at the clock. 11 am. Shoot! "Well, I'll see you in a week Itachi, I have to get ready, bye"

"Bye".

She hung up. Dating Itachi was awkward; he was good but it couldn't compare to her story with Kakashi.

She sighed and looked at her right wrist, at the bracelet he gave her.

"Hinata!" his father cried from downstairs "Get ready, we're leaving in one hour!"

She shook her head and got up "Y-yes father, I'll go get ready" she looked at the bracelet once more. I think I forgot about him, we haven't seen each other in almost a month.

6 hours later, she was in her room at Konoha High again. Ten-Ten hadn't arrived yet, so she decided to sleep a little. It was Saturday evening and the students would arrive between now and Sunday because classes resumed on Monday, so she hoped Ten-Ten was delayed a bit more.

She was really annoyed, because when she had got back, the first person she saw was Kakashi. Everything that she thought she'd forgotten came back. The memories, the feelings, the pain. And he also offered to carry her bags, and he constantly tried to talk to her and that just upset her more.

"How was your break?"

"None of your business"

"I have to talk to you, seriously"

"And I seriously don't want to talk to you… I'll have to wait one week till Itachi comes back. I just want to ask you to leave me alone.."

"Hinata please I need to tell you-"

"I DON'T want to hear!" and she'd slammed the door in his face, sinking to the ground with tears coming to her eyes.

Meanwhile, in the boys' wing, Kakashi was on duty.

He was determined to tell Hinata the truth, make her listen, but she probably wouldn't believe him without proof. And the proof was in Itachi's knew he had time, so he just hoped Itachi's roommate hadn't arrived yet.

He went to his room and knocked twice. He went inside and saw nothing, no luggage no clothes, nothing. Great, they're not here.

He started looking under the beds and in the drawers. He found the pictures, but couldn0t take them because someone came inside the room.

"Sensei?"

"Oh, hey Zetsu… I um… heard… a noise" the student gave him a weird look "b-but it was probably a rat or something, you know, you never know…" he closed the drawer behind him and walked away "see you on Monday!"

"Sure…bye"

Uff that was close… well, at least I know where they are.

He thought he needed some help. Perhaps Ten-Ten would help him. He'd just have to wait until she came back.

The second term at Konoha High changed to a rotating schedule, which meant that they'd have all the classes all the days.

This made it hard for Hinata, because she skipped the Art lesson again, and she'd have to do it every day.

Ten-Ten arrived on Tuesday morning, and though she tried to talk to Hinata, she wouldn't listen.

During Art, Kakashi approached her.

"Ten-Ten…"

"Hey sensei" she had an empty space beside her (Hinata's), so Kakashi sat down next to her, pretending to talk about her work.

"so, did….um…. the inspiration come to you lately?"

She sighed "no, I think inspiration has abandoned me and doesn't want to see me ever again"

"Well" he took a piece of paper and a pencil and starting writing something on it "I think I may have some idea of how to get it back" he handed the paper to her.

I know where Itachi keeps the pictures: the second drawer of his desk in his room. If I distract Zetsu, could you go in and get them?"

She looked at him and nodded affirmatively. He smiled, but his smile went away when Tsunade came inside the classroom.

"Hey, where's Hyuga?"

"Uh, she's in the restroom" he said

"Don't lie to me, I know you like being a cool teacher, but I don't like you covering up for students" she looked at Ten-Ten "and you, tell Hinata Hyuga that if she skips one more time, she will be in serious trouble. And by that I mean suspended or expelled"

When she walked out, Ten-Ten and Kakashi looked at each other.

"we need to do this today" she said

"ok, after the last period I get Zetsu and you can go in the room"

"ok"

That evening, Ten-Ten and Kakashi started out their plan.

Zetsu was walking towards his room, when Kakashi appeared from behind.

"Hey Zetsu, I need someone to help me with some stuff, can you help me out?"

"Well, I need to go to-"

"Oh it will only be a second, just come with me" he put his arm on Zetsu's shoulder and dragged him along with him. Behind them, Ten-Ten ran across the corridor and opened the door to his room.

She followed Kakashi's instructions and went straight to the second drawer. She found an envelope with the pictures, changed them for another envelope and put the original one inside her shirt so that no one would see.

She closed the drawer and walked towards the door, but the handle moved.

And in came Itachi. He noticed her straight way and gave her a suspicious look.

"Oh, um hey Itachi! I thought you were coming back next week, what are you doing here?"

"I could ask you the same question. One, you're not allowed here, and two, I have no business with you, so what, did you come to steal something? I know you don't like me, I can tell by the way you look at me"

"W-well… actually I was… I was…"

"You were what"

"I was… going to leave a letter for you b-but…I forgot it. In my room. So yeah…bye!" she tried to run past him but it didn't work, he held her by the arm strongly. It even hurt.

"Tell me the truth"

"The truth? Um, the truth is…" think think think!

"The truth is…?"

Oh gosh, Hinata's gonna hate me even more for a while "The truth is…I l-like you, so I wanted to leave a letter but, as I said, I left it in my room… so well, now you know and…goodbye!"

He stopped her again "I don't believe that. I think I know what you got" he walked towards the drawer dragging her along with him, and opened the envelope with the false pictures.

"Listen, I don't know how you know about this, but you can tell that cradle-snatcher that I made copies. And you better keep those to yourself, because Hinata won't even want to listen to you when I show her the recording of you telling me you like me" he smirked and let her go.

She ran to her room but didn't go inside; instead, she went to meet Kakashi. She had a plan.

When she came back and went inside, Hinata was lying on her bed.

"So, I hear you like to steal boys away from me Ten-Ten… I never thought you were one of those people" Hinata was on the verge of tears.

"I don't want to talk about this Hinata…"

"G-good… cause I don't want to talk to you at all"

Ten-Ten closed her eyes and went to bed. Tomorrow everything will be settled. Thank goodness.
