*I hope everyone likes it so far, if anyone is reading, lol. So Im gonna be doing a couple point of views, but you'll know who is who. Everyone's a liiiiittle OOC but that's okay because sometimes it makes the story interesting. Also sorry if anything looks out of place, I posted from my phone and made it look weird... well anyways, hope you enjoy*
Kakashis POV:
I sighed, I shouldn't of let her go. She's going to break her heart furthur. Itachi did what he had to do and he needed to leave, she doesn't understand that sometimes. I will always miss my friend but he's a missing nin now who's in the bingo book. I lifted my head slightly and continued walking around the village, maybe getting something to eat would distract me a little bit.
"Hey, Kakashi!" I heard a male voice shout from behind me, I knew that voice, shit. I stopped walking to turn towards none other than Neji Hyuga.
"Yo" I said, giving him a slight wave.
"Have you seen Hinata-sama?" he asked curiously.
"Nope" I spoke bluntly hoping that would be enough.
"You guys had a meeting early this morning, you sure you haven't seen her?" he asked suspiciously, nope that wasn't enough. Who was I fooling? This is Hinata's family, she is the same exact way.
"Don't know what you're talking about?" I raised an eyebrow and started backing away from him. Oh because that's not suspicious, I mentally slapped myself.
"Where is my cousin, Kakashi?" he asked with a serious tone now. I gulped down the lump in my throat. I hope what I tell him will stay with him and only him.
"Let's go for a walk" I said, turning my back towards him. I could hear him walk a little quickly so he was next to me. He patiently waited for me to open my mouth, I wonder how long that would last for. I continued to walk without saying anything.
He abruptly coughed, ahh, my que to speak. I looked around to make sure there weren't ears listening.
"She went to find Itachi.." I whispered, looking for at him. He had an array of emotions written on his face.
"You let her leave?" he whisper shouted back.
"You have met her, right? I didn't let her do anything. She left on her own. I'm just covering for her incase someone comes looking for her who's important" I said casually.
"She's gonna break down every wall she's put up since he left and hey wait a minute, I'm not important?!" he shouted towards the end, I couldn't help but to laugh at him.
"I didn't mean it like that but I'm covering in case Tsunade comes around. I'll be damned if she gets demoted from Anbu" I spoke seriously. Neji stayed quiet and nodded his head in agreement with me.
"I guess I'll wait with you for her return, she might need some emotional support upon returning" he spoke lightly, rubbing the back of his.
Itachis POV:
"You were once my everything and nothing has felt the same since you left. I can't fill this void you left.." she said barely above a whisper. I didn't know what to say to her. I didn't think again in my life I would see this girl, not unless faced with war and we were on the battlefield. She was holding my hands and I wanted to keep holding hers but I knew if I went back "home" with her, life would change completely and I wasn't ready to shift again. I just got used to hiding, hunting and being hunted.
Not that anyone scared me but I couldn't just go back with a safety net nor did I think leader would approve of me leaving. I gathered all the strength I had and removed our hands from each other.
"I will say this once more, you need to leave, Hinata" I spoke with no emotion at all this time. Everything about this girl made me want to go back home and start a new, it pained me that I couldn't.
"I will say this once more too, come home with me" she said softly, determination flared in her eyes. My heart broke a little more each time I looked her in the eyes. I couldn't bare it anymore. I let my eyes do the dirty work at this point, I trapped her under a genjutsu and looked around for Kisame.
"Kisame" I said coldly and he appeared next to me.
"You need me help, don't you?" he asked with a puzzled look on his face.
"We're not far from her home, please help me by carrying her there with me" I spoke truthfully, he knew I was sick. He didn't say anything just picked up Hinata in his arms, and we took off towards the village. Risky but she needed to get home safely. I could see the gates of Konoha. I pointed towards a specific tree and he sat her up against it, he backed off while I approached her.
"Be ready to vanish" I said to Kisame and he nodded his head. I kneeled down next to Hinata, I caressed her cheek. You're my everything too. I retracted my hand and decided to leave her with my necklace, she'll awaken knowing I still care at least. I put it in her vest pocket and backed away.
"Release" I spoke, breaking her from the genjutsu and then vanishing from the gates of my old home.
Hinatas POV:
I woke up feeling fuzzy, I held my head for a second. I remember this feeling. genjutsu.
"Itachi!" I shouted, looking at my surroundings. I was up against a tree right outside the Konoha gates. I took a deep breath in knowing I failed upon bringing him back, I felt my heart shatter. I could feel the tears building up as I stood up. I leaned against the tree while I stood.
"Stupid!" I shouted, punching the tree in front of me, chakra illuminating my hand. I blasted a hole in the tree and angrily wiped away the tears that threatened to fall from my face. I looked up at the sky, the sun must of just set because it was still nice out.
Might as well go back in to let Kakashi know I failed at bringing him back. I kept my head low while I walked. Why can't he just come back? Why can't anything ever be easy for me? I'll never understand.
"Hinata-sama!" I heard my cousins voice shout from ahead of me. I looked up at him, not moving and just started crying. He grabbed me into a hug and started walking me into the village.
"I'm just gonna take you home" he said softly, he knew.
Two weeks had gone by and I was placed on border patrol, Kakashi, Guy and their teams had gone off to the sand village for back up. The Kazekage, Gaara, had been forcefully taken from the Sand Village by the Akatsuki. That's the last thing I had heard and hopefully everyone was okay. I sighed a little bit as I climbed the tallest tree and sat the top of it.
I shoved my hands into my vest and got cut a little bit by something. I pulled out the object and looked at it. Itachis necklace, he does still care. I clutched the necklace with my hands, holding it to my chest, a tear rolling down my face. I put the necklace on, putting it underneath my shirt. Please just come back to me.
Itachis POV.
"You must deal with them" Pein-sama spoke to me, talking about distracting the leaf village ninjas so we could extract the tailed beast from the sand jinchuriki. I sighed, knowing full well I was going to see Kakashi.
I nodded my head and took off, Kisame went in the other direction to deal with the other unti Konoha had sent out. I waited in the woods, patiently for their arrival.
I needed to get Kakashi away from his unit, no matter how many their were. I heard movement from the left of me, I looked over. I could see Kakashi, a blond headed ninja, a pink haired kunoichi and an elder woman. They were running for the cave base we were using to extract the tailed beast from the sand jinchuriki. I stepped out of the woods, making them all come to a complete stop.
"It's been awhile Kakashi" I said smugly, burying my face into the neck of my Akatsuki coat so the bottom half of my face was hidden.
"You have no idea what you did" he spoke with rage, getting ready to charge at me. I raised my hand, showing my ringed finger. If I could just get all all to look at my hand, they would all go under my genjutsu. I caught them all, beside Kakashi.
"No one look him in the eyes!" he shouted to his unit, he looked around to see them all on the ground, cast away in their own nightmares.
"Damn it" kakashi whispered quickly.
"I'd rather not hurt you. We might be friends but I won't hesitate to finish the job I was assigned" I spoke with no remorse.
"You couldn't, even if you tried" he gritted, throwing his kunai straight toward my forehead, I moved to the side slightly and it flew right by me.
"How's Hinata?" I asked, knowing this would get under his skin. I needed him to attack me and I could knock him out, I wasn't tasked with killing them, just being a distraction.
"You broke her, again" he spat, running for me. My heart broke a little knowing I caused her mass pain again. I dodged Kakashis kick just in time and jumped backwards. The body in front of me suddenly poofed, shadow clone.
The ground underneath me suddenly shook, a hand emerging from beneath me. He just managed to skim the bottom of my sandal. I kicked and jumped backwards again.
"She needed you and you just gave up, moving on like she didn't matter" he said, his left arm starting crackling with lightning. His chidori looked even more deadly now.
"You of all people should know what could really happened if I returned, the chance of me being exiled is far greater than me conserving peace. Do you really want another dead person to visit in the grace?" I asked curiously, I was pushing buttons at this point. I could see pain flash across his face from all this loss he has experienced in his life. He charged fourth, chidori ready to rip threw my chest.
I wasn't falling for this trick again, I jumped up into the air and turning around.
"Fire style! Fireball jutsu!" I spoked quickly, releasing the hand signs. I sent the ball towards the back of me, where the real Kakashi was. My jutsu burned everything in front of me. I could hear the crackling and birds behind me die down, letting me know his shadow clone had vanished.
"You've always impressed me, you're one of the only ones whose on my level" Kakashi spoked from a tree branch above me.
"Fire style! Fireball jutsu!" I said again, sending it with more speed this time. No more talking, I wasn't sure how much more I could fight him in my condition. I slowed down briefly, landed opposite side of the tree line to look him in the eyes. He had shifted his headband upwards, revealing his sharingan. We stayed with our eyes locked, he was probably trying to figure out a weak spot so he could attack, He was always steps ahead with fighting.
"Have your senses dulled?" he whispered from behind me, I quickly turned to swing the kunai in my hand at him. I managed to cut his arm open. We both jumped backwards, he was right, my senses weren't as sharp as they used to be.
"Clone break explosion" I said out loud when I landed on the ground. Three of me walked toward where Kakashi was, giving me a second to breathe. Now was not the time for a coughing fit. I quickly took a pill out of my sleeve, swallowing it. I could hear my clones going off, one by one. Kakashi was just having fun now. I needed to get out soon.
"Losing momentum, Itachi?" Kakashi asked, appearing in a branch above me. I moved as fast as I could to the side. I didn't even both trying to fight him. He jumped off the branch and gracefully landed on the ground. I could trap him in a genjutsu and leave quickly but I wasn't sure I had enough energy to pull off the Tsukuyomi at the moment.
"Tell her I will see her soon, it might be the last time" I said as I vanished, leaving behind a whirlwind of crows.
