Prologue;

"Talk to me," he pleaded softly. "Naru-chan."

"What do you want me to say?" She asked, digging the back of her heel into the ground.

"Say everything you want to say," He explained gently, "Whether it is bad or good."

"I feel like an idiot," she said, glancing up briefly to look at Itachi before her eyes returned to her all white oxfords. "I don't know. Everything just sucks 'ttebayo'."

"Tell me about it," Itachi agreed with a quiet scoff. "Listen, I don't have much time."

He sighed and sat up. "Can you wait four years for me?"

Narumi finally bring her eyes up to meet his gaze.

"You don't have to if you don't want to," he continued with a slight head shake. "I don't want to hold you back on anything although I like you too Narumi, but I can't stay here because you want me to."

"I'm not telling you to," she stated. "I never asked you to."

"I know," he smiled. "Hn, That's what I like about you. But four years, can you do it?"

Narumi shrugged, unsure of herself. "I don't know, four years is a long yet short time."

"I can't agree more," Itachi sighed and stood up with her eyes following him.

"I don't think I can devote four years to you," she answered honestly, standing up to shorten the height distance. "I like you but probably not enough to wait four years."

"I understand," Itachi nodded before digging into his pocket. He pulled out a silver necklace with a sapphire butterfly charm and slid it onto Narumi who looked on it in confusion.

"I thought it was pretty and it reminded me of you're eyes so much that I bought it for you."

"Are you giving me this so I can't forget you?" She asked, eyeing the sapphire butterfly charm.

"No," Itachi answered with a grin. "Although you can't wait the four years, I'm thankful that you can still remain true to yourself. You're a great girl Naru-chan and you should wait for that great person."

She let the charm hit her clothed chest as her eyes moved to meet Itachi'.

"You'll come back for the summer right?"

He nodded. "Of course, every summer."

"Then we'll see what happens," she said with a smile — whiskered cheeks tinted in pink and he grinned.
