Chapter 19
Kakashis POV
Three days, that's how long it's been since I've seen Hinata in my office and it felt good actually. One less thing to stress about. I wondered if Itachi was actually staying away from her. His will power to her was never the greatest. I wondered if removing Hinata from the district would be a good idea..
"Earth to Kakashi!" Sasuke yelled, breaking me of my thoughts.
"Sorry about that, what's up?" I asked him, giving him my full attention.
"Naruto and Sakura invited me to go out for dinner, would you like me to take anything back for you?" He asked, waiting for me to answer.
"The usual will work" I said blandly. He nodded his head, headed towards the stairs and left. I was fully alone now and I sighed. I sat back, looking at all the paperwork in front of me. I couldn't wait to leave for the kage summit. That meant no paperwork for a near week and I was all to excited.
Buzz buzz
The front door system to our house went off and I reached under the desk to unlock the door. Sasuke thought it would be a good idea to place a lock on the front door. Not only was this our home but also our work place. It needed to be a fortress of safety and he was right. I was the Hokage now and I needed to be safe at all times.
I could hear the footsteps downstairs taking their time and I waited for whoever it was to come up the stairs… the stairs started to creak a little bit and I could see a head of dark violet hair, Hinata.
"Kakashi" she said sweetly, giving me a bow of respect. Talk about the devil and he shall appear. I didn't think she was the devil at all, maybe his mistress sometimes but that's as close to him as I saw her. A beautiful goddess who could have a demon come out and play when need be.
"I've come to drop off the paperwork from the academy today. Iruka got cut when the children were throwing their weapons" she said, trying not to smirk. She took a step forward and held the papers in front of me. I grabbed them, a decent sized stack. I internally groaned. Paperwork was going to become my worst enemy, I swear.
"Is that all?" I asked her, trying not to give her anymore emotion than needed. I wasn't even sure if she realized that I was intentionally ignoring her.
"Yes.. well, no" she spoke truthfully and put her hands behind her back, oh no. I sat up straighter in my seat and waited for whatever was about to come out of her mouth.
"Our last conversation.." she said quietly. Damn it, I knew it. I oh so badly wanted to interrupt her before she even started but I just couldn't.
"I would like to discuss it more if you're not busy" she said, eyeballing my desk and its flood of dead trees.
"I'm always busy" I stated, bluntly.
"I've been thinking about what I said and I need you to know something" she never broke eye contact with me while she spoke. I knew she was about to become really serious and I believed this was my only time to do something I've been dying to do.
I got up from my seat, merely distracting her from her sentence and stood in front of her. I placed my hand under her chins lifting her face up to look at me. I pulled down my face mask knowing it would only get in the way of what I needed to do.
"Kakashi, I-" before she could even finish, I brushed my lips against hers. I knew as soon as I did that, every word she wanted to speak was put on hold.
I snaked my hand into her hair and pressed her lips against mine, gently. I needed to feel her one last time even if what she about to say is what I longed to hear.
The best part was, no one could enter except for Sasuke so I only needed to listen for him. No one would be interrupting us.
I placed my other hand on her hip, pulling her into me and she grabbed my face, deepening the kiss. She made a small noise and I grabbed her hair a little firmer. Our bodies couldn't of been closer and I knew this was the right time.
As we were making out, I led her backwards down the hallway to where my bedroom was. I let her hair go to open the door behind me. She pushed me a little bit, letting me know she wanted it.
This is was the perfect time to torcher her in the best way possible. I smirked slightly and she entered my mouth. Our tongues danced for a minute as she removed my Hokage cloak, letting it fall to the floor. Her hands started to unzip my Jonin vest and I let it happen. That, however, was the last piece of clothing she was removing for a little bit.
As she reached to put her hands under my black shirt, I stopped her. I removed her hands from my body and removed her Jonin vest instead. Once the clothing hit the floor, I pushed her back onto the bed. I slowly climbed onto her. Not once did she stop kissing and I was lavishing every second of it.
Every touch and taste of her wasn't enough for me. I always wanted more with her and we both knew it. I stopped thinking, pushing them aside to focus on her body.
I broke the kiss for a minute just to get her mesh top off, leaving her in her bra. I took a look over her body, slowly. I made my vision back up to her eyes, making her blush slightly.
I went right back to kissing her but harshly this time, I leaned on my side so I was half way on top of her so I could freely feel her. I moved my kisses from her mouth to the sides of chin and her collar bone. My left hand working it's way down her chest and finally stopping on her breast, I traced a circle above where her bbeggoing.
My hand moved toward the center of her bra where it was holding it all in place. The clip to unleash what I wanted was simple and I could feel her breasts coming out. My hand moved toward her left breast and my mouth made its way to her right one.
I played with her nipples for a minute, I could feel her back arching a little bit. Signaling she wanted me and she made a soft moan. It was driving me crazy that I was moving so slowly but sexually torcher was fun to me sometimes. Something about watching them beg was on another level to me.
After giving her nipple once last small bite and twist, I trailed kisses down her stomach toward her pants. I unbuttoned them slowly, she helped me take them off by wiggling her hips which made her breasts jiggle. I was already rock hard but it didn't help it any.
The last remaining piece of clothing was her underwear. I placed kisses all around the inners of her thigh and I knew she was dying from anticipation.
I made my ways back up, kissing and licking all the way up. My mouth landed on hers again and she tried to touch my skin again and this time I let her. She pushed me back some so I was on my knees and she was sitting up. She removed me shirt and face mask quickly, throwing them on the floor and she pulled me down fiercely, shoving her tongue in my mouth.
I could feel her hands touching my chest, abdomen and back all sensually but I knew she wanted me. She took the opportunity to claw her way down my entire back with roughness. I made a soft moan, she knew it drove me crazy.
I moved us onto the bed some more so when the time came, it was easier. She she continued to feel me, her hand started going toward my hardness. I quickly pushed her hand away, knowing it was time for the real fun to start. I pressed into her mouth deeper, moving my hand toward her underwear, sliding it off and I hovered over her lady part for a minute.
"Please.." she basically moaned into my mouth, how could I deny a lady who was begging. I smiled a bit, moving my finger over her clit, slowly rubbing it. Continuing to drive her closer to the brink of insanity. I moved on from her clit, moving to her entrance and before I entered a better idea came to mind. I moved off her mouth, quickly making my way down her.
I wanted no time in licking her clit, all whilst pushing two of my fingers inside of her. She moaned and I smirked to myself. I kept rolling circles on her with my tongue while the speed of my fingers increased. I wanted her so badly in other ways and I knew my body wouldn't let me continue doing this for much longer.
She continued to moan and my length started throbbing and I knew it was time. I took my pants off quickly, getting back up onto the bed.
"Turn over" I said, more like demanded and she listened giving me a full view of everything. I steadied myself, grabbing her hips and slipped inside of her, quickly. I didn't give a warning but I didn't need to considering she was completely wet.
My head rolled back as I continued to thrust into her. She pushed against me, letting me know she wanted me to go harder, which I did. it had been to long since the last we had sex and I wanted to make it last for as long as possible.
I tightened my grip on her hips and started to slow down a little bit because I wanted to switch positions. I pulled myself out of her, laying on the bed. She got the hint quickly and hoped onto me within seconds.
She started to ride me and I opened my eyes to look at her. Her head was back, leaving a full view of her breasts. She started to speed up and I grabbed her nipples, gently twisting them and then she started to moan loudly.
Watching her get off was turning me on even more and I quickened the pace from below. I felt like I was about to go but then I could feel a waterfall come from her, knowing she went.
"Cum for me, Kakashi" she said seductively, buckling her hips and rode me like a damn horse. I went not soon after she did and she climbed off of me, laying next to me and we caught our breath.
A few minutes went by and I knew she had to get going soon before Sasuke returned. He wasnt dumb, if he saw her he would only assume one thing and he wouldn't be wrong.
"You need to leave before Sasuke returns" I told her and I sat up. I moved around the room to collect every piece of clothing. I gave her stuff to her and went and got clean clothes out of my drawers. I didn't both with a shirt considering it was like one-hundred degrees in this bedroom and I needed to cool off.
"What if I wanted to say hello to Sasuke?" Hinata challenged my statement with her question.
"Its not a good idea" I told her, hoping to avoid the reason why.
"Why not? I thought he and I were working on friendship" she huffed and finished getting dressed. Friendship. Ha. I mentally laughed to myself for a minute. I didn't think she knew the word friendship to great.
"You want me to be honest?" I asked her, leaning against my dresser. She nodded my head and I sighed, here goes nothing.
"He doesn't want anything to do with you until you figure out your love problems. He got into an argument with Itachi the other day over you, of course I heard it. I was up here. Sasuke even yelled at me. Also dont want to forget the part where he punched Itachi in the face" I spoke, adding that last part in for fun to let her know what she was doing to everyone for not choosing.
"That's actually why I came over" she said, not breaking eye contact with me. I feel like everything I said to her went in one ear and right out there. I did however have to suppress a laugh from her statement. Did she come here to speak actual feelings or more kind games?
"I've noticed that you've both been ignoring me since Itachi came over three nights ago and So I began thinking about everything" she said and I had to interrupt her.
"Are you done stringing us both along like puppets?" I asked, is that how Sasuke worded it? I glanced back over towards Hinata and she looked angry.
"I've come here to discuss my feelings and you sit here and throw snide comments at me?" she asked defensively, getting out of bed.
"Its not a lie though" I said casually. What the hell was coming over me? I thought I was done being angry..
"I love you both for different reasons. That's not stringing you along like puppets" she snapped at me.
"Yes it is, Hinata. You don't even realize you're doing it" I said, glaring at her. This was incredibly weird speaking for both Itachi and I.
"Tell me why you love me, Kakashi" she said, switching her attitude around.
"Because I.." I had to stop and think. Why did I love her? She had never asked before and now I was stumped. The only reason I could think of was because she was the one solid thing in my life I loved and she never went away, at least not for a while. Did I still love her or just the memory of her at this point?
"Exactly. You cant even come to think of a reason" she said snarky like and I gave her a small dirty look.
"You're right. I cant. I think I was obsessed with the memory of you and how we were. Not how we are now. Were not even really friends anymore and I think that's what hurts the most. You'll always have a place in my heart but I dont think I could ever love you like that again" I said to her and all reality hit me. I felt like a weight just lifted off my shoulders.
Was this was real closure felt like? I didn't know letting her go was the reason why she consumed my thoughts, I thought it love.
My eyes navigated back toward her and she remained speechless, but I could tell she was thinking of something to say so I gave her a minute to analyze what I had said.
"Are you sure? You're not saying this out of anger, spite, revenge but just honesty?" she questioned me and I knew I meant it. The last time I saw and felt real clarity was right before we started dating. Life was simpler back then I suppose.
"All truth. I feel free again, letting you go" I told her and she moved towards me to stand in front of her.
"I came here to tell you that I had chosen Itachi and I would understand if you hated me" she said. I had chosen Itachi. It didn't even hurt to hear, I knew this was really the end.
"He would literally do anything for you Hinata, hes lucky" I told her and she smiled. I knew right then and there when she smiled that everything was actually okay.
She grabbed my attention when she grabbed my hands though And I focused on her face.
"You and I will be okay. We were best friends once and I know well get back there eventually. You will always remain special to me so I hope the next lady in your life is the best thing you've ever encountered" she spoke from the heart and I smirked. There she is, the girl who changed my world. She was finally really back, not confused about life anymore.
She let go of my hands to hug me and I wrapped my arms around her. Maybe now being in the same room with each other wouldn't be suffocating. I squeezed her into my hug some more.
"Ow, that really hurts" she said yelping a bit. Oh my Kami, her spine fracture. I slapped myself mentally and let her go gently.
"The adrenaline from the sex is gone and I can feel it all in my back now" she pouted and I didn't mean to but I laughed at her.
"I'll bring you home, let me put a shirt on first" I said, just snatching the one up off the floor I was just wearing. My face mask followed and I lifted her up bridal style.
"Hows Tsunade doing by the way? Shizune won't let anyone see her" Hinata asked me as we made our to the staircase.
"She's been moving more in her sleep but that's about it. I don't foresee her waking up anytime soon" I said sadly, Hinata must of caught the tone of my voice too because when I looked at her she was giving me pity. it was her friend too, it was all around just a sad time.
"I can tell Shizune to let you see her" I said as we left the house and headed towards her.
"No, that's okay. Updates from you are good enough, you'll be seeing more a lot since I'm the one who has to drop the paperwork off to you" she spoke, smirking at me.
"My favorite.." I said sarcastically and she giggled.
"Exactly why I smirked at you. I didn't forget after all the Anbu missions you would run away, leaving me with the paperwork. I know you hate it" she added to her own comment.
"Its terrible and a waste of time" I spouted out, arriving at her house. I gently placed her down on the porch and backed away from her.
"Thank you" she genuinely said, smiling.
"No, thank you. You've opened my eyes. Have a good night" I said and turned away from her to I could quickly get back to the house so I could be rid this shirt again and escape the heat.
That goodbye wasn't my best but I was really not trying to be outside any longer than need be. I couldn't imagine how the people in Suna were doing today, but then again they were used to it.
Right when I got to the house, I unlocked the front door with the only way Sasuke and I knew how, our sharingan. If Itachi knew, he could also open the door. It was a completely extra step but worth it.
I entered the house and I immediately took my shirt off, hanging it on the coat rack near the front door. I needed to remember it was there on laundry day.
Now that I exerted a lot of energy, my stomach began to growl and I wondered how much longer Sasuke would be with my food? knew eating something in the meantime would ruin my appetite so I decided on a glass of water instead.
I made my way toward the kitchen and reached for glass in the first cupboard and that's when I heard the front door open. Wow, what great timing.
"Kakashi, I hope you're decent. I've brought guests!" Sasuke yelled as the front door closed.
"I dont think were guests at this point" I heard a loud mouth say. Ah, Naruto and I'm assuming Sakura was with them.
"If you count having no shirt on not being decent then dont look" I said out loud so they knew I was in the kitchen and then the sound of footsteps approached the doorway. Sasuke entered, followed by Naruto and lastly..Sak-Neji? Hmm, guess I was wrong.
"Here is your food" Sasuke said, placing it on the table. I turned to put the glass in the sink and I heard a weird noise escape Narutos throat.
"Are you okay, Naruto?" I asked ed turning back to face them all. Sasuke looks enraged, as did Neji. I grew confused as to what possibly happened in the three seconds I had my back facing them and then a light bulb went off. Shit, my back. Hinata clawed me and she must of left marks.
"I'm fine and so are you judging by the gigantic love Mark's on your back" Naruto said, making a childish face at the clearly obvious give away I just had sex.
"Naruto, could you go into the living room?" Sasuke asked as calmly as possible but I knew the tone we was using, I was about to get yelled at. It used to be the other way around. I used to do the yelling, not getting yelled at.
I watched Naruto leave the room while Neji and Sasuke continued to glare at me.
"Are you an idiot?" Neji asked, starting the conversation.
"Seriously. It's been three days and you already caved in by sleeping with her?!" Sasuke yelled, not letting me speak.
"Its fine you two, yes, we had sex but we also had a conversation" I told them.
"What sort of lie did she tell you this time to hurt you more?" Sasuke spat. Neji crossed his arms, waiting for my response.
"None. I had a moment of clarity. Her and I are finally over it. I realized I didn't love her, only the idea of her. She even told me she wanted Itachi and it didn't even hurt me" I told them, hoping they would believe me.
"You expect us to believe that after all this time, the heartbreak, the everything that suddenly you're okay?" Neji asked, eyeballing me suspiciously.
"Yes. I do. It might not seem like it but all things are well again" I said giving them my most sincere smile. The look on Sasukes face went from anger to calm. I knew he believed me but Neji however, didnt look like I changed his mind. Which I get because hes the one who picked up every single piece of me twice over her. The first time was sincere heartbreak but the second time she left, that was just anger.
"Its nice to see you found your resolve, now we can focus more on running this village" Sasuke spoke and he left the kitchen… leaving Neji and I.
"I dont believe you. Theres no way you're suddenly okay.. not after everything you've been threw in the past year" Neji spoke, taking a seat at the table. I joined him, hoping talking more would relax him some.
"I know it all seems fake but Its not, I assure you," I said, looking him in the eyes.
"You went all suicidal like and drank even more when Tsunade thought she died and she told everyone. You're feelings for her are real but I think you're just taking the easy way out. Letting her go and hiding your feelings" he said, eyeballing me like I would break and suddenly tell him the truth.
"I'm speaking the truth. I know you're not going to believe me for a long time but just know theres nothing to worry about. I felt a weight being lifted off my shoulders a little while ago when her and I talked. She was my drug of choice but I couldn't get high off of her anymore. I realized that my love for romantically died long ago but I never realized it until today when I truly thought about it. She asked me why I loved her and I couldn't think of any reasons" I said sincerely hoping my friend would realize now I'm telling the truth.
The look in Nejis eyes went from sceptical to relief and I felt better knowing he knew I was no longer in danger of hurting myself.
"Well, I guess today is a good day then. No more drama and the uncomfortable feeling in the room when everyone is together" he breathed out loud and I nodded my head in agreement.
"So, while you're here. I have a question for you" I said, changing the subject to our trip in four days. Nejis face grew serious and waited for my question.
"There is a meeting to be held at the five kage summit in four days, we need an extra body guard to walk with Sasuke and I there. Would you be willing to come along?" I asked and a light went off in his eyes and I knew he accepted before even speaking. That was the one thing about Neji. He always looked like a hardass but you could easily read him from his eyes. Something you couldn't untrain someone to do.
"I will gladly accept. When do we leave?" He asked.
"We are going to leave two days from now, giving us a day journey and a little time to spare before the meeting starts" I told him, giving him enough time to get what he needed together. Granted it was more like a day and a half but still.
"What time should I meet you at the gate?" He questioned.
"Sunrise, any more questions?" I asked and he shook his head letting me know that our conversation was done.
"I shall see you guys then, I just need to let Yamato know I wont be helping him for however many days were gone" he said, backing the kitchen chair up so he could stand.
"No need. I'll have Sasuke do it. We will be gone for a week minimum. Sometimes meetings all of the Kages could take a while considering everyone who is currently running a village is argumenative" I informed him and then I thought about how the conversations were going to take forever.
I slightly dreaded the meeting but then I remembered I wouldn't have to look at paperwork and the excited came crashing right back in.
"Thank you, Hokage-sama" Neji said, bowing. I felt the embarrassment rising within me.
"Neji, the next time you do that when no one is around. I will strip you of your Jonin rank" I said to him and he looked shocked.
"Are you serious?" He asked, taken back for a minute.
"No. I appreciate the gesture knowing how you were raised but you're one of my closest friends, there isn't a need. Please, stop" I asked kindly. His facial expression went back to normal and I knew the scare wore off.
"I'll try my best" he said, going to bow but caught him self and scurried out of the kitchen before anything else could be said. I laughed a little bit. He would never change when it comes to respect and it was something not many people knew these days.
Little did Neji know that he was about to become anbu captain soon, if he accepted. He would need a push to do so but I knew if he accepted the position, our anbu would be even more fierce.
The only person I felt needed more direction in life was Itachi. I knew becoming a teacher wouldn't be the worst thing in the world but it would be holding back his skills I know he has. I would love to place him into the anbu rankings again but I didn't think the clan heads would of changed their minds yet about him leaving the village, even if he did help save it.
My last problem was if he joined again, would he have flashbacks to the tragic night of the almost extinction of his clan? Would that set him back all the progress hes made mentally? I sighed.. this isn't a problem I should be stressing about right now.
My mind started to wonder more, what should I do about Kisame? He was in the bingo book and we wasnt marked clear like Sasuke and Itachi were.. he was a criminal even if he did fight with us that day..
"Kakashi!" Sasuke screamed, breaking me of my thoughts. I looked around and he wasnt anywhere to be found so I rose from my seat and went searching.
"Yo, where are you?" I shouted back, waiting for a response.
"The office" he yelled again and I traveled towards the stairs and made my way up them.
Him and Naruto were moving boxes around and Sasuke was holding a file. I raised my eyebrow in confusion. Were the organizing or snooping?
"Why are we yelling?" I asked him at a normal inside voice level.
"Its a file, on the night my clan got murdered" he deadpanned, no emotion came with his voice and it worried me. I smacked myself mentally for not looking quickly threw everything knowing damn well some of the information up here was sensitive. He had a right to look at it being my assistant but still..
"What of it?" I asked, not sure in which direction he was going in. I knew a little more than he did about it because I had to help clean the bodies up.
"I dont think Itachi did this by himself.." he said, sticking his nose back into the file.
"Its been three years.. why are you questioning it now?" I asked lightly. I didnt want to enrage the poor kid. He was looking at pictures of people he knew once.. I'm surprised he's staying so calm.
"It just doesn't make sense. I know my brother is powerful, but some of the ways these people died are different. Itachis proffered weapon was his sword and yet some of these people don't have a cut on them and their just dead" Sasuke rambled on, looking deeper into something that was in the past.
I always thought the same thing to but I never questioned it. The Uchiha clan always did things in secrecy the last few years they were around and who knows.. maybe an outside Danzo hired helped him out.. then I got the chills remember we were inside the same area were an entire clan used to be populating the streets.
"Sasuke, why does any of this matter right now.." I sighed, becoming more tired as the night went on.
"Because if someone helped my brother then that would mean the other person also has a Sharingan. Kakashi, more of my family could be alive. Again, Itachi might be strong but my clans kekkei genkai is powerful" he said, all the hope in the world was suddenly placed in his eyes and I didn't want to say anything bad at the moment. Everyone was finally in a good mood even if Sasukes was running off of false hope..
"May we discuss more of this in the morning? I'm tired" I said yawning. It was probably the least rudest thing I could say right now. He nodded his head in excitement and I stepped over all the papers and boxes on the floor. I hoped they were organizing because if not I was going to wake up to a shitload of questions in the morning.
I crawled into bed and just laid there looking at the ceiling. My bedroom smelled like Hinata and it didn't hurt.. it was comforting to say the least. I smiled knowing everything finally felt okay.. then my brain went back to Sasukes inquiry.. who did help Itachi?
Tomorrow was going to be interesting bringing that part of his life up and I hoped it would be go smoothly..
* next day *
I finally had a free window to do what I wanted and I knew talking to Itachi was on top of my list. It would just be him and I. I left Sasuke sleeping, him and Naruto had been knocked out cold in my office this morning.. I wasnt sure what time they went to bed so I let them be.
As I made my way toward the academy, I could see from afar they had a lot done. They were moving the quickest out of all groups and it was nice to see at least one piece of our village was going to be done soon at the rate Itachi and his comrades were moving.
"Itachi" I said a little loud as I neared the foundation of the building. He stopped working and looked over toward me. I waved him over to me and I waited for him. I took a couple of deep breaths knowing this conversation might trigger something inside my friends mind.
"You and I need to have a talk, I'm excusing you from work for the day" I told him when he was in ear range and his facial expression grew serious. We both knew I wouldn't just stop him from doing something.
"Is something the matter?" He asked curiously.
"Yes and no. I'm not really sure where to start but I know speaking of said topic is not meant to be discussed in public" I said in a low tone so only he could hear me. I could tell by the look on his face that I was giving him anxiety and I wasn't trying to but I knew if I didn't ask questions first, Sasuke would and kami only knows where that could lead everyone.
We continued walking back towards our home area and when I knew it was safe I took a deep breath, here goes nothing.
"Sasuke and Naruto were going threw boxes and organizing them all that same time but Sasuke stumbled upon files from that night" I said as gently as possible, I looked at my friend and we stopped walking as soon as we got to the gates. He looked like he saw a ghost..
"Hes going to ask me things.. I'm not ready to discuss with him.." Itachi said in a low voice and then his skin paled even whiter than normal.
"Itachi, are you okay?" I asked becoming concerned and then his breathing started to become rapid and he fell to his knees. He was hugging himself..
"Calm your breathing" I said, kneeling to the ground. Great, I just sent him into a panic attack.
"I cant.. he can't.." he mumbled and tipped over. He blacked out and I sighed.. I was hoping that would of gone better..
I bent over to pick up my friend to carry him back to his house and while walking I saw Hinata coming up the road, damn it.. must be her lunch hour.
She saw me carrying Itachi and started running towards us, a panicked look on her face.
"What happened? Is he okay?" She asked, inspecting his unconscious body.
"He'll be fine.. he had a panic attack.." I told her, trying to calm her nerves. A look a relief washed over her.
"A panic attack? From what?" She demanded to know becoming serious again.
"I brought up a not so happy time in his life" I admitted as I turned to walk onto his porch. Hinata opened the door for me and we walked inside their home.
"What time? Theres a few" she said and she was right.
"The night of the massacre" I said, walking toward the living room to place him on the couch. At least now when he woke up, he was home and that should be more comforting than the medical area.
"For what reason? That was three years ago" she questioned me as I walked back toward his garden in the back. I didn't want to stay to far away in case he woke up soon. I left the garden door open just in case.
"Sasuke found the files from that night. He picked up what I picked up on, someone else helped Itachi but what got both of us is that it had to be someone else with a sharingan because there's no way you could take out an entire clan with the eye powers they obtain.." I rambled on, informing her. In the process of filling her in, I gently touched my own eye. I only had one and I knew from first hand experience. My one eye helped me see so much, never mind having two.
"Well.. this isn't good" she said out loud and we both stared off into the garden for a minute. I knew I would get in trouble for sharing do much secret information with people but if Sasuke wanted to more, I could stop him. It was his family. However, with Naruto and Hinata knowing then that's where it could get ugly.. I knew Hinata wouldn't say anything and by all means I care for Naruto deeply but he had a big mouth and when he lost his temper, no secret was safe.
"Do you think Sasuke should just drop the subject? It's going to stress Itachi out greatly talking about that night. I know from that day of they're trial, it was painting him then to speak of it" Hinata spoke first, breaking the silence.
"I knew one day he would figure it out. Sasuke is smart" Itachi spoke dryly from the couch. Hinata was the first to move, quick like a rabbit that one..
"Do you feel okay?" she asked him as I appeared back in his living room.
"I'm fine, just a lot to take in so suddenly" Itachi said, giving me a small dirty look. I deserved that.
"I'm sorry for the sudden bomb drop but as current Hokage and your friend. I'd like to ask questions, we both know Sasuke isn't going to leave this alone" I said gently to him. We all knew family was everything to Sasuke, it still is but even if one person from their clan was alive, he wouldn't stop until he found them.
"The only people left in the Uchiha clan are my brother and I" Itachi said bluntly and I knew he was lying.
"We all know you're strong and feared in villages and nations all over but even you couldn't pull off what you did alone, Itachi" I pressed a little more. The anbu interrogation side of me was overriding everything.
Itachi snapped his head up, looking me deep in the eyes with anger and I knew better than to speak again. I didn't want to start a fight, I just wanted answers.
"Itachi, are you home?" A voice called out from the front door and we all looked down the hallway.. Sasuke. I hoped he wasn't here to ask questions considering I just infuriated the source..
"I'm here, little brother" Itachi called back, snapping a look at me to not say anything. I wasn't going to and we both knew Hinata was going to stay silent.
The sound of footsteps approached and he wasn't alone. Did Naruto join him, again? It was nice to see them spending so much time together.
"Did you need something?" Itachi asked when Sasuke appeared in the doorway of the living room. He wasn't holding any files so that was good.
"We need to speak" he said a little coldly, Itachi and I exchanged looks quickly and I knew that look, he was going to have words with me later.
"If you're here to ask who helped me, no one. No one from our clan is alive except you and I. I made sure of that, there's nothing further to discuss" Itachi hissed, shoving his way past everyone. Why was he so angry all of a sudden about the massacre?
"Let me go talk to him" Hinata said out loud but quietly and followed Itachi to whatever part of the house he was storming his way to.
I looked over at Sasuke and all the hope I saw last night was gone. He looked like he did when he first arrived here. Bitter and angry.
"Don't get so upset. You have to remember what he did really messed with him. Hell come around. You and I both know hes lying. Now, did you guys clean up the office at all?" I asked them, trying to change the subject
At least Sasuke didn't look as angry because he knew I was right. It messed the both of them up badly.
"Well go do that. I know we have to prepare for tomorrow. Did you ever talk to Neji?" Sasuke asked before completely turning away.
"Yes, he is on board. Were clear" I told him, he nodded and left and I was left standing alone in the middle of itachi's living room.. now what to do?
