Chapter 11:

Itachis POV:

I was a little eager for breakfast this morning, I finally got see Kakashi and Hinata. A month had passed since the trial and life just shifted so quickly. They were both sent off on two week missions and when they came back, they were just busy. I haven't seen them, the only person that wasn't my brother that I've seen every day was Neji.

He had made it his own purpose to come have breakfast with me every single day so that I would have a friend. I really appreciated it considering these d-rank missions were actually pretty mentally taxing. A lot of the villagers remembered me and what I did so I had a lot of dirty looks and comments thrown my way. I knew gaining trust and respect back was going to be a long road but I knew in the end it would be worth it.

"Itachi!" Neji yelled from my front door, I closed my book and left my reading room. I made my way towards the front of my home where he was standing inside.

"You ready?" he had asked me, I nodded my head and I followed him back towards the outside.

We walked in silence for a few minutes, just enjoying the nice morning summer air. The walk to the little cafe wasn't a super far walk but enough to make you hungry while getting there.

"So how's Sasuke been doing? I haven't asked you about him" Neji asked, filling the void of quiet.

"He's okay, I think. He hasn't talked to me much and he's pretty much on a cycle. Wakes up very early, goes down to the lake to exercise all while trying to avoid every single breathing person in sight. Does his missions, comes back to the district, cleans one or two houses, has some tea and then falls asleep" I said, he would come around eventually.

"Seems like he's trying to keep busy, I hear from the villagers who get him for the day that he's been surprisingly pleasant" Neji said, sounding a little shocked and I chuckled a little bit.

As we turned the last corner, I could see the shop in view and I could see them sitting there. They were here before us and I smirked somewhat.

I focused in on them a little bit more and I saw Hinatas hand resting on top of Kakashis, something in my chest began to feel cold and hot at the same time. From where I was standing it looked like they were holding hands but I can't just be assuming so.

From the corner of my eye, I saw a kunai go flying towards them and stick into the ground right next to the table they were sitting at. Hinata jumped, taking her hand off of Kakashis and then looking into my eyes. She looked guilty and fearful? What was she afraid of?

"Oh, I'm terribly sorry! My hand slipped!" Neji shouted a little bit for them to hear us, it took another twenty feet but we got to the table. Neither of them said anything about the kunai and Neji continued to glare daggers at his cousin and friend.

"Well, it's nice to finally see everyone" I said, trying to sound cheerful and so we could change the subject.

"It's been a little bit but yes, it's nice to finally sit for once" Kakashi said, adding to my comment.

I couldn't help but keep looking at them both the entire time we were eating, Hinata kept avoiding my eye contact and I couldn't exactly read Kakashis vibe he had going on.

"Oh yeah, I forgot to mention that I'm going to be with you all day today, Itachi" Neji said to me, I looked up at him. I was spacing out into my glass of water.

"Is everyone else busy?" I asked curiously.

"Way to not sound happy you have a friend all day and not some random person" Neji pretended to sound hurt and I laughed a little bit.

"It's a pleasant change, at least you won't be saying vile things to me while I work" I added.

"Vile things? Are people being rude to you?" Hinata asked, she finally poked her two cents in after sitting here awkwardly.

"Almost everyone here remembers me and what I did. I would expect nothing less" I shrugged my shoulders, taking a sip of my drink.

"You're trying to change for the better and they're making remarks, not that's what's rude" Hinata snapped back a bit with an attitude. What was I getting an attitude for.

"Are you okay? You seem angry" I asked her, slight concern in my voice.

"I'm fine. I need to go" she quickly said, she abruptly stood up, removing herself from the table to take off towards the academy. I watched her walk away and I became super confused.

"I'll go talk to her" Kakashi said. He placed some money on the table and left just as quickly as she did.

"What is with them?" I asked Neji, maybe he could shed some light.

"I think you and I should talk later on when we're in your district" he spoke casually. Whatever it was, there was probably a reason he was going to wait until the day was almost over. But, now that I knew there was something the day would probably just drag on.

Hinatas POV:

It was almost the end of the day for me at the academy and I was glad, I loved being here but ever since this morning, my mood has not. I can't believe I was caught holding Kakashis hand this morning, especially by the one person I wish didn't see it. Ever since Neji caught us that one time I haven't stopped thinking about it.

"Hinata" a voice spoke my name, I looked for see Iruka.

"Yes?" I asked with a smile.

"You can go home now if you'd like. You have all day tomorrow to look at papers considering we're going on a night trip with the students" he said, reminding me is more like it.

"Oh, thank you" I spoke softly and got up from my desk. I grabbed all of my belongings and started my walk home. I made my way down the stairs, down the hallway and reached the outside.

As I was walking, I remembered where Itachi would be going today. I made it a habit of checking what he assigned for the day. I'm not sure why, maybe just curiosity?

I changed my course while walking so I could check up on him from afar. I knew Neji had it fully covered but I wanted to see it for myself. I picked up my pace a little bit.

The closer I got the more my heart started beating faster, what was the matter with me? I needed to sort my feelings out before I end up hurting both of them and myself.

I saw the house from the corner, it was pretty big and had a massive yard, he must of got garden duties today. I didn't see him anywhere, but I stopped where I was walking and focused a little bit but still couldn't see anything. I huffed a little bit and maneuvered myself towards the treeline that was on the side of this home. Big enough so no one would see me either.

I climbed the first tree I saw and climbed up a little bit and then I could see everything. Just as I sat on the branch, Itachi had come out from behind this giant mound of grass and hay on the ground. He was shirtless and carrying a bag around the side of the house towards what looked like a garden.

"Hinata" a male voice said, shaking the tree branch I was sitting on a little bit and sat next to me. My heart stopped for a moment because I was scared out of my skin.

"Neji, you scared the life out of me. You're lucky I didn't scream" I rested my hand over my heart and took a couple of breathes.

"Why are you spying on us?" he cut right to the chase.

"Not you, just him. I was just wondering what he was doing today. He looks exhausted" I spoke and looked back over to him. He was drenched in sweat, dirt and I'm sure he was getting a sunburn.

"Because he's working hard. He's trying to prove himself" he said back to me.

"How'd you even know I was up here, by the way?" I looked at him for a second.

"I've known you my entire life, I can sense your presence, cousin" he said.

"True, I can do the same with you.. Except I was so focused on him my senses were down" I spoke honestly. That's not a good thing, not that Neji would hurt me but if he was an enemy I would of been dead.

"Have you thought about our conversation anymore?" he asked completely switching subjects. I was caught off guard and lost my train of thought for a second.

"Everytime I do, I get frustrated. I don't understand. Aside from this morning, Itachi has no idea about Kakashi and I and I'm scared to tell him" I spoke softly, continuing to look at him work. The sun was setting which meant he would be done soon and Neji would have to go back. Neji let out a sigh causing me to look at him.

"What's the matter?" I asked him

"I'm not gonna lie to you. I was planning on telling him everything tonight when we got back to his district. You didn't see his face this morning up close, he looked confused and pained. The longer the truth waits to be told, the more its going to hurt to hear" Neji said delicately, I just kept staring at him.

"That's not your story to tell, I forbid it" I spat.

"Hinata, you went out of your way to bring him back, heal him and give him life. He's in love with you and eternally grateful for you. Yet, you sit here and are doing things with another person. You wanted nothing to do with Kakashi because of Itachi but now that he's back, you're concerned again with him? I don't understand" Neji spat back, harshly. I had no idea what to say, he was absolutely right.

"I think.. Deep down.. I'm scared to be with one because it's going to really hurt the other one" I basically whispered.

"I'm going to say one more thing and head back, which you're welcome to come back with us. But, I was saying.. They've both dealt with a lot of traumatic pain in their lives and you make it better for them. Talk to Itachi tonight before I do it for you and then really think about everything" Neji said, standing up on the tree trunk so he could head back towards Itachi.

"I'll be there" I whispered a reply.

My cousin moved like lightning and I just looked onward in the sunset, it looked so pretty.

My eyes started to wonder again and I really looked at Itachi this time, he looked so strong yet so broken like nothing could stop him. He was moving some dirt around in the garden and I just smiled. No matter what the task was, he was always so focused. My mind started wondering to the first time we really connected.

"If you think you're going to leave this clan for some boy and a career you'll never have, you're wrong" my father yelled at me, he wasn't always mean but I knew this type of news was earth flipping to him. I had finally told him about my anbu placing and my team mate who helped train me. My first mission was today and I didn't know what to tell him so I just spoke the truth.

"That boy has nothing to do with anything. He's my partner who helped train me become who I am" I barked back at him.

"I forbid you following some silly path that could lead to the demise of this clan. It's highly likely someone is going to kill you, realize your kekkei genkai is the byakugan and steal your eyes" he spat back at me, glaring this time. My anger was building inside of me.

"Why don't you ever have faith in me!" I shouted very loudly, my fingers curled into my palms, my knuckles turning white.

"Because no matter how much training you do, you'll always be weak" he said blandly.

"You know nothing! I'm done with this clan and every stupid rule that comes with it. I'm leaving and you're not going to stop me!" I yelled again, my throat burning now. I turned around, slamming open his office door.

"If you leave this compound, you are no longer a Hyuga. You will be disowned and never welcomed back. You will have nothing and nobody, your mother would be disappointed you put negative light on a household she lived for " he said with venom in his voice.

"Mother would of never of stopped me from achieving my dreams, you should do well to remember that. You weren't always a terrible person" I spat, looking at him once more before leaving.

My nerves were shot, I was angry, I wanted to cry, punch things, be held, scream but I couldn't. I needed to collect myself. I got my mask today and I was going on my first mission with my partner.

I shook all thoughts from my mind and quickly made my way to the normal meeting spot. I didn't even know my partners name, nor his face. I heard him speak a few times but the sound was slightly muffled because his mask was in the way and he spoke softly.

A few hours went by and our mission was almost done, we only had to wait another hour before we could head back to the village. Concentrating so hardly on this made me forget all about this morning.

My thoughts were broken when fingers tapped my shoulder, I looked to see my partner pointing at another villages anbu were sitting behind a tree. They looked like they were waiting for something. I activated my blood line and looked around. We were outnumbered, two to ten. I needed to tell my partner so we had a better idea on how to fight them without getting hurt. I moved my mask a little bit and got as close as I could to his ear so only he could hear me.

"There's three behind that tree, four to our right and three to our left" I spoke, I could barely even hear myself but he nodded my head so I knew he heard me. He pointed to our left, signaling he wanted to take them out first. He moved first, swiftly and silent. I followed him, I moved to another branch so we could sneak attack two of them and take the third on together.

We hopped down the branches like lightning, I got my weapon ready and the rest was history.

We were just about to move on to the last group of people, the four man squad. My blood line had been activated the entire time and it was taking its toll on me, not enough to slow me down but I knew I had to stop using it soon.

As we rounded the last tree, we waited a second. I could see two of them looking in my direction and got curious. They started walking over, they knew I was here. I jumped out from behind the tree, my fighting stance ready to go.

I could see my partner running up behind them, they didn't even realize it yet because they were busy looking at me.

"Are you mute?" one of the other village anbu asked me, I didn't both answering because I knew they wouldn't be breathing soon. My partner quickly put a kunai into the back of the neck of the one who just spoke, his friend suffered the same fate not even a second later.

As my partner was taking his weapon out of the neck of the dead body, I noticed the other two anbu were coming down quickly from the sky, they must of climbed the trees to get a height advantage.

"Watch out!" I yelled running toward my partner, I pushed him out of the way, managing to block on of the attacks. The other one hit me in the shoulder, knocking me down. It took a few seconds and I could feel hot liquid running down my shoulder. His weapon had got me. My bloodline shut off and I could only see normally now. The enemy anbu I managed to block started making hand signs for an earth technique and then the ground started to shift.

The ground under me lifted up, breaking in the process getting ready to stuck me underground. I got up as quickly as possible and threw a kunai at him, which he deflected.

"You think a silly piece of metal would stop me?" he asked, making another hand sign. The ground on both sides, rose quickly. I jumped out of the way to see two giant boulders clash together. They would of squished me like a bug.

All of a sudden the ground stopped moving, I looked to see my partner had killed the the last two enemy anbu and he picked the last one up.

"He might have information" my partner said, I nodded my head and we started our journey back to the village.

When we got back to the hokage manor with the body it was night time out and our duty for the day had been done. We were released to go home, my partner and I had vanished threw the floor and we were outside. My partner and I looked at each other, nodded and he left. I took my mask off and looked up at the night sky.

That's when it dawned on me, I had nowhere to go. My eyes started to get watery and I started moving toward the training grounds I was used to, at least I could sleep outside for the night, it was safe.

I hopped on the roofs of buildings and houses until I reached the small forrest near the river. This was the way my partner would always go home, I wondered if I was ever going to see his face or know who he was. He knew who I was because he trained me to become part of the anbu, it wasn't fair.

I saw a good enough tree trunk to lean against for the night, I sat down and leaned back, looking back up at the stars. My mind started to wonder, I yawned and could feel sleepiness come over me so I stretched, I immediately put my arms back down. My eyes started to water from the pain, I forgot I got injured earlier. It's gonna take awhile to heal before without proper bandages.

This really sucked, my dad was right for once. I had nothing and no one, just a loner until I could figure everything out. Visions of my mother started filling my head and before I knew it, all my sadness came flooding out, the tears wouldn't stop.

"Hinata?" a voice called out to me, I was still crying. I sniffled and tried to wipe the tears away while I looked for the source of the voice.

"Whoever you are, I can't see you" I choked out. Great, just what I needed, someone found me while I'm having a mental break down.

"Have I taught you nothing? I'm above you" the male voice said again with a little laugh. I looked out to see a dark outline a person.

"Partner?" I asked again but less choked up this time.

"I guess it's time you knew who I was since you're coming with me for the night" he said, jumping off the branch, landing in front of me. The moon was bright tonight so I could see every detail of him. My throat was stuck and I couldn't speak. Itachi Uchiha was my partner? This gorgeous creature? The person that's supposed to be this super bad ass stone cold person? If I wasn't in the middle of crying I probably would of fainted.

"You probably figured out who I am" he smiled and squatted in front of me. I nodded my head, still not being able to speak.

"So we can continue to sit here in the field and talk about why you're crying or you can come to my house, let me fix your wound while you tell me why you're crying" he said seriously, looking me in the eyes. It sent chills down my spine, I couldn't stop looking at me.

"I like option number two" I said and I wiggled a bit but I got off of the floor.

"I figured as much" he spoke, also getting up. He started walking and I walked next to him.

"How'd you know I was here?" I asked him.

"I go for walks at night after work to clear my mind and I heard someone crying to I followed the noise. I wasn't expecting to find you though" he spoke honestly.

"I'm sorry for disrupting your night" I said, feeling bad now.

"No need to feel bad, you're night seems worse than mine. You're the one crying" he said, poking fun at me. I giggled a little bit.

We finally go to the Uchiha district and we made our way towards his home, he opened the door for me and I walked in first. I took my sandals off and waited for him to walk into his house more before I moved. I didn't want to be rude.

"If you'd like, I can give you some clothes to borrow and you can shower, then we can look at your wound. It might not be bad once all the blood is washed off" Itachi said sweetly.

"Why are you being so nice to me?" I asked defensively, mentally slapping myself. My mouth always goes off before my brain can really think.

"You've been with me almost everyday for a year now, you mean a lot to me. I would hope you would do the same for me" he said truthfully. I mean something to him? My head spun for a second before I could process what was said.

"I would absolutely and yes, I would like to shower. I don't know when I'll get the chance to again" I smiled a little bit. He said nothing, leading me toward the bathroom.

"I'll bring you your clothes in a minute if you would like to start your shower, I have to find my older smaller clothes" he said to me, I nodded my head as he shut the bathroom door behind himself. I started to strip, trying to leave all my clothes in a neat pile on the floor then got in the shower. I started to water, trying really hard to avoid the cold water before it turned warm.

The moment the water turned warm, I went under. I could feel every single droplet hitting my body, it even went over my wound. It stung a bit but I ignored the pain. Washing it out was good, there was less of a chance to get an infection now. I didn't mean to but the water felt really nice so I just took it all in, letting my mind go blank for a second.

In the middle of my shower, I heard the bathroom door open quickly, he was putting the clothes in the sink for me, I glanced over. He not once looked at the shower while I was in, how gentleman like. He left in the matter of seconds, leaving a towel on top of the clothes.

I finished up quickly with whatever soap I could find and turned the water off. I opened the shower door, grabbing the towel to dry as best as I could before stepping out. I didn't exactly want to get his bathroom soaking wet.

I looked at my shoulder before I got dressed, it was a small cut that needed nothing more than a small bandage so dirt wouldn't get in it.

I grabbed the pants he gave me, they were surprising the right size. The shirt he gave me was a very simple black shirt with the Uchiha clan symbol on the back of it. A clan symbol, guess I'll never be wearing one of those again.

Before I left the bathroom I grabbed my dirty clothes and towel off of the floor and left the bathroom.

"Itachi?" I called out, standing in his hallway. I wasn't sure where he went and I didn't want to roam his house.

"I'm upstairs, come on up" he called back to me. I moved towards the staircase and climbed them.

He came out of whatever room he was in when I got to the top.

"How's your wound?" he asked concerned.

"It's very small, a simple bandage will do so dirt doesn't get inside" I smiled towards him, he nodded his head and started walking over to him.

"Let me take these from you, I'll clean them for you and I'll get you the bandage" he didn't even give me time to respond. He took everything out of my hands and went into a different room.

Two minutes went by and he came back with the bandage and no clothes.

"So tell me what happened?" he asked, moving the shirt out of the way where the wound was so he could cover the wound. Every single touch was sending goosebumps all over my body, I tried my best not to shiver.

"Long story short. I was disowned from my clan today" I said bluntly.

"For what, if I may ask?" he was curious.

"You're hosting in me in your house, the least I can do is tell you why" I said and sighed.

"For becoming part of the anbu. My father said I'll never be strong enough and that when I get killed, someone is going to steal my eyes and it'll ruin the Hyuga clan" I spoke and started to make a mocking voice as I was finishing what I was saying.

"Your father doesn't sound very nice" he said seriously.

"He wasn't always mean. He started to change after my mother died" I spoke honestly, I was little when she passed away but I remember my father a little bit before that. He completely changed overnight.

An hour had passed since then and we were just relaxing in his reading room and I was becoming very tired.

"Would you like to go to bed? You're falling asleep while reading?" Itachi asked me, making me look at him.

"I'll take you to my room where you can sleep. I'll sleep on the couch" he said softly, walking over to me to give me a hand up.

"I don't want to take your bed from you, I don't mind sharing" I said half awake at this point. He laughed a little bit.

"If you say so" he said and we walked down two doors, reaching his bedroom. I walked in first not really sure if I should get in the bed first or not.

"You can lay down, I have to do a few things first" he said and I didn't say anything. Just walked over to his bed, climbing to sleep next to the wall. I laid there a second, thinking. I would of never of guess I'd be laying in Itachi Uchihas bed tonight because I was homeless. He was so kind to me and I knew our bonds of friendship were going to be strong for forever. There was something that made me feel comfortable around him and
I enjoyed it.

I was just about to fall asleep when I felt the bed moving a little bit, he must of come back from his nightly routine and it was finally time to rest. I waited a few for him to stop moving so I knew he was comfortable. I opened my eyes a little bit, he was lying on his back and his eyes were closed. I didn't know if he was going to get weirded out if I laid my head on his chest but I about to find out. I slept with a body pillow at home and he was about to be mine. I moved over a little bit and just put my head on his chest.

He moved a little bit and then I felt his arm wrap around me.

"Goodnight, my friend. Thank you" I whispered and closed my eyes again.

"No need to thank me, I'm always here. I always have been" he whispered back and I knocked out.

He always has been so kind to me, even when he was trying to push me away and be mean. I was subconsciously touching the spot where I got wounded that day with my hand. I had the tiniest scar but it always reminds me of that night and I think that's when my feelings started to develop for him, even if I didn't realize it.

My feelings ran so deeply that when he left the village, I really thought I was going to die from a broken heart. It hurt so bad and it wouldn't stop. Neji had tried everything to help me get past him and nothing was helping. A week after everything happened was when I was assigned a new anbu partner; Kakashi.

Itachis POV:

The sunburn I had on my back was stinging so badly, I couldn't wait to shower to take some of the heat out of my back. I wiped my forehead one more time of sweat, waved goodbye to the older woman who I would be seeing again in two days and left her house. Neji was waiting at the end of her yard for me. He went somewhere while I was working but came back before I was finished.

"Where'd you go?" I was curious so I asked.

"I had a small chat with Hinata, she'll be joining us at your house in a while. She needs to tell you some things" he said, looking serious. Things? I didn't like that but I think I know what about.

"I think I know the topic.." I softly said and we started the walk back to my house. Neji didn't say anything which reassured my suspicion more about the topic; Hinata and Kakashi. I knew they had history when I was gone but I thought it was over and done with. I guess not, my heart hurt a little bit and I didn't like it.

About two hours had gone by since we arrived back to my house, the amount of sun I got today had gotten me so tired and I didn't want to do anything else but I had to.

"I'm going to go find my brother, you're welcome to stay here. I'm gonna help him finish whatever house he's doing" I told Neji blandly as I left my house. My mood wasn't the greatest either. I was happy to see Hinata in a little bit but I was also dreading it.

I activated my blood line just to find my brother faster, I just needed a glimpse of his chakra, which I found quickly. I picked up my pace just to get this over and done with.

I entered the house and Sasuke was in the back of the house, I could hear him. I made my towards him and just started cleaning the same room as him.

"Just think little brother, only a few hundred more houses and then we only have to worry about our d-rank missions" I laughed a little bit as I fixed a picture frame.

"You're so funny, why are you here?" he didn't even laugh, how rude.

"My heart's about to be shattered into pieces so I'm trying to keep busy until then" I answered so nonchalantly that he stopped cleaning and I could tell her was looking at me.

"What are you talking about?" he asked with seriousness. He sounded generally intrigued. Might not be the best topic but at least we're finally really talking.

"It's a long story but I'm almost positive Hinata is going to tell me something I don't want to hear" I told him truthfully.

"Like what?" he asked curiously.

"That she wants to stay with Kakashi and not me" I said and continued moving things around so I could dust.

"Kakashi and Hinata, really? Interesting" he whispered and I shook my head, he'll get it when he gets a girlfriend.

It only took an hour for us to make the inside of this house clean but it was done and we could go back to our homes.

"Itachi" Sasuke spoke when got onto the porch outside.

"Yes?" I said.

"Even if she doesn't choose you, chase her. I remember you before everything went bad. You were happy and I'd like to see it again" he looked me in the eyes while speaking and then walked away to go home. I stood there for a second. My heart warmed, we were making progress again, I smiled and headed back towards my home.

The walk home was calm and I looked around at all the buildings. I tried to imagine what it would be like here right now if it didn't happen. Would everything be normal? I would never know, neither would the world. Approaching my house a familiar feeling came over me, Hinata was here. I didn't want to go inside but I knew I had to, I swallowed the lump in my throat and marched forward.

I opened the door and didn't hear them inside, were they in the backyard in the garden? That was actually the first thing I made sure looked nice on arriving back with Sasukes help. It was our mothers favorite place to relax. I knew when we were fixing it, Sasuke was pinning hatred toward me the entire time but I think seeing the aftermath of it made him forget for a minute. Remembering a better time.

I went into the kitchen first to grab a cup of water before continuing back outside. All the dust from the other house made my throat dry.

I filled my glass and headed towards the backyard. As I approached the door, I could hear them talking threw the paper door. I didn't know what they were saying but I could hear them.

I opened the door and they both looked at me, Neji looked sympathetic and Hinata still looked afraid. It flipped a switch inside my mind, that was the last thing I wanted to see when she looked at me was fear.

"I guess we're gonna talk now, huh?" I asked, looking at Hinata. She nodded her head and I moved outside. Neji got up from his seat and I sat where he was sitting.

"I'll see you in the morning" he waved and left the area.

"First off, I'm sorry about this morning. I didn't mean to be rude, I was just emotional" she said, playing with her fingers while she talked, now she's nervous? The feeling in my stomach kept twisting and I hated it.

"No need to apologize, we all get emotional sometimes" I tried to make her feel better. She took a deep breath and then looked at me again before speaking. We just stared at each other for a few moments and all felt good in the world.

"I haven't been telling you certain things lately because I don't want to hurt you" she spoke again, softly. I remained quiet, I just wanted to hear everything she was going to say before I spoke.

"I don't know where to start.." she said softly again, looking around the garden.

"Just talk, it's just easiest that way" I bluntly said, I sounded more harsh then I meant to.

"Okay.. well for one, I need you to know that Kakashi and I dated for a year and a half. I fell in love very quickly but I ended up leaving him because you were spotted near the village, I needed to find you" she paused for a second.

"The day of the trial, Kakashi had taken me home after it was done. We took a couple of shots and things escalated, my feelings came rushing back. I've been avoiding you since because I know if I choose one of you, it'll hurt the other one. So, I'm here to tell you I'm not picking either of you and I'm probably gonna vanish from your life for a while until my feelings go away" she spoke open and honestly. The tears were falling down her face, my heart hurt because I was rejected but it also hurt because she was crying.

"If choosing one of us makes you happy, you can be with him so you don't break him again" I admitted, I cared about the both of them and if being together was the solution to happiness, I was for it.

"It's going to hurt you in the long run. I can't and I won't do that to you" she spoke quickly and then grabbed my hands.

"Hinata" I spoke her name calmly and she just looked at me. I moved my hands free of hers so I could grab her face.

"You brought me back here, you saved my life in more ways than one. You need to be happy too and if its dating Kakashi, please just do it. I know what your feelings are for me. We have a bond that's unbreakable and we both know it. I don't need to date you to be happy, I just need you in my life. I love you and I need you happy" I repeated myself at the end so she knew it was really okay to be with him.

She just kept looking at me while I held her face, was she processing it? The next thing I knew she was kissing me, I couldn't fight her off because I enjoyed it. She pushed her way forward to straddle me where I was sitting. I knew in the back of my mind I should stop but I just couldn't.

"Is this.. a good... idea?" I asked in between kisses. She nodded her head and I just allowed it. She moved her arms around my neck, I gripped onto her thighs, lifting us both up off the couch.

I roughly pushed her into the wall next to the back door as I reached to open it, once I got it opened I made my way toward my bedroom. The heat between us was growing and I was enjoying every second of it because I knew this was never going to happen again. However, our bond was finally going to be intertwined. I knew Hinata was my soul mate but if she needed to walk her own path at the moment, I wouldn't stop her.

All the thinking I was doing, I didn't even realize we were on my bed and she was reaching for my friend, she started rubbing it and I lowered my head, closing my eyes for a moment. It felt so good and then something in my head switched, causing a hunger to let go that I didn't even know I had. I groaned a little bit and kissed her hard, laying on my side a little bit so I could reach my hand inside of her shirt. I wanted to feel every part of her, I needed her and I wanted to give her my love.
