Hinatas POV:
About an hour had passed, Neji went after Itachi for me and Kakashi and I were in his office. I kept on looking around the room. It had been a new office, not like before. I was amazed that in the two months they had finished so much, it was nice seeing the village come back to normal.
"It's nice here, isn't it?" Kakashi asked me, probably noticing that my eyes were everywhere but on him.
"It is, although it's going to be weird to me having to walk here instead of crossing the street" I said to him, trying to make a small joke. He smiled at me and shuffled some papers around on his desk.
"Well either way, I'm glad you're home and we need to talk about some things," he said, becoming serious. I took a deep breath and shook my head in agreement. Hopefully the happiness from finding out about two children and not one would keep.
"Okay, let's start with you and Itachi leaving for two months. I tried my best to keep it under wraps but obviously people noticed you two were gone" he started the conversation, jumping right into it. I kept quiet, nodding my head as he talked.
"You're both suspended from going on missions for two months, no matter what the situation is, you'll both need to be escorted if you leave the Uchiha district" he stopped to take a sip of water. So far, I wasn't going to argue with him because I thought it was fair but I knew the hard part of the conversation was about to come.
"Lastly.. The part of the conversation where you and I are equals and I'm not your hokage" he said, breathing outward and looking me in the eyes. Did he call us equals? Was he finally done being arrogant about the situation? I remained quiet, waiting to hear his ideas.
"I know you don't think staying in the village is a good idea but it's better you're here for medical purposes. I was thinking that if we put a sealed barrier over the Uchiha district that no one from your clan can see inside, making it safe to stay here" he told me, it didn't sound like a bad idea but there were still a few things that made me nervous and scared.
"So I'm trapped inside the district until I give birth?" I asked him, that wasn't fair to me. I couldn't be locked away like an animal.
"It's for your safety though, do you want to risk getting caught by your elders and have unspeakable things happen..?" he asked me, sounding sad and angry all together. I got up from the seat I was in to walk towards the windows behind his desk, opening it so I could take the fresh air while looking over the village.
"Neji and I are the only two Hyuga who live outside the compound. He worked for it and I ran away. Even though we have our freedoms now we're watching all the time. I'm sure by now they know something is wrong with me.. I don't think a sealed barrier is going to stop them from grabbing me if they wanted me" I told him, honestly. Yeah, they couldn't see inside the district if we did that but they could sneak inside and then it was over.
"I'll make sure no one comes into the district. I still live there you know, no one would dare be that stupid as to come near my home with destructive intent" he deadpanned and I knew he was serious.
"You're right.. But the Hyugas are sneaky and powerful when need be.. I'm scared.." I finally said out loud, a word I've never said to anyone, ever. I always took thinks head on, I've never backed down. If I did I would still be a weak minded person living in the compound.
"Hinata, listen to me.." he said from right behind me. I could feel the heat of his body behind me and I wasn't sure what to do. He spun me around, lifting my face so I would look at him. He wiped a tear away that I didn't even feel coming out.
"I'm not going to let anyone harm those babies, or you. I was worried sick when you were missing. But trust me when I tell you that, don't be scared. I'm here for you, I think you know this by now" he whispered to me, placing our foreheads together. It felt all too familiar the way were standing and the words he had spoken. My mind went back to some memories I thought I had forgotten until now.
Today was going to be a great day I told myself as I rolled out of bed. I looked at my clock and it was near noon time. I don't remember the last time I slept this long, Neji normally woke me up around eight so we could do our morning exercises.
I shrugged it off and got dressed, I guess we were having afternoon exercises instead. I got dressed and headed toward my kitchen. I grabbed a small bag and put some water bottles inside of it for Neji and I.
The weather outside was different, it looked like it wanted to rain but it hadn't yet. Some dark storm clouds in the sky and it was warm out. At least if we got warm while exercising it might rain to cool us off.
"Neji?" I asked loudly from his porch, hoping he would hear me. He didn't answer after I knocked, maybe he wasn't home? That was weird, it wasn't like him to just not show his face to me without leaving a note. Then I realized the streets were pretty empty, did something happen while I was sleeping?
Before I moved off of his porch I activated my blood line, it was the fastest way to find my cousin. It didn't take long for me to find him, he was in Tsunade's office with a few other people They all looked upset and I became concerned. I started moving towards the hokage tower, I was interested in learning what happened. Before I shut my bloodline off, I looked over towards the Uchiha district, maybe I could visit Itachi later on today. I tried to search the area but it was gray, something was preventing me from seeing his home. I wondered why..
I took my normal route up the side of the building so I could enter through the window. Tsunade and I had a very solid relationship. Only a few shinobi entered her office like this and I was one of them.
"Come in!" she yelled and the window opened for me before I could even touch it. I came face to face with Neji, he looked concerned so I entered carefully, closing the window behind me and stood there. I looked around to see Neji, Kakashi sensei, a woman with purple hair, Naruto, Sakura and a few more anbu. Her office was crowded and I started to regret my decision to come here. I did however notice Sakura looked like she was crying then I realized Sasuke wasn't here. Did something happen to him? Is this why the Uchiha district was being covered up?
"As I was saying. I need all of you to follow the directions I just ordered. The rest of team eight are waiting at the gates to the village. Come back at midnight if anything can be reported. Neji stay here, I need you. Dismissed" Tsunade barked and in an instant, everyone in the room vanished, leaving space to breathe. Then I realized what Tsunade said, why was my entire team waiting at the gates but not me?
"What's going on?" I finally asked her, moving away from the window. She looked sad, not for herself but for me.
"Something happened in the middle of the night.." Tsunade said as she turned her chair towards the window. I moved myself around the desk so I could also look out.
"Is it the reason everything is quiet today?" I asked her, looking around the village.
"Yes, Neji is here because I think you're going to need someone.." she told me and my heart started racing, I didn't like the way this conversation was going. I remained quiet so she could eventually tell me what happened.
"Around two in the morning there was a mass murder, an entire clan was erased, except two of them lived" Tsunade said, my eyed widened. A mass murder? Here in the leaf? Shes joking.
"You're joking" I said, looking at her and turning to look at Neji. Neither of them looked like they were going to laugh and my heart felt heavy. Everyone in the village seemed saned, who went crazy and killed everyone? Or what psychopath entered the village to do this.
"Did a psychopath infiltrate the village or was it someone on the inside?" I asked out loud, I just wanted the full story at this point.
"No infiltration, this was an inside job" Tsunade said, looking back out of the window to look at something and I looked again too. My eyes finally landed on the Uchiha district and I could see caution tape on the gates that were closed. My heart dropped.. No.
"Itachi Uchiha massacred his entire clan, he has fled. Sasuke is the only survivor but he has fled as well" Tsunade said and I felt an icy cold feeling in my chest.
"No, theres no way someone as sweet as Itachi would just kill that many people" I said in disbelief and I fled to the window I entered threw and started running towards the district. I could hear running behind me and I knew Neji was following me.
"Hinata, you can't go in there! It's an open crime scene at the moment" Neji said to me, grabbing my shoulder to stop me from moving. We slowed down at the bottom of the hill that was part of the Uchiha district.
"This.. isn't real" I said, tears started filling my eyes. All the life and love coming from behind those gates was now gone, he was gone, everything was just gone. I fell to my knees and Neji wrapped his arms around me. It all made sense now. Why he didn't wake me this morning, why the village was quiet, why everyone was gathered in Tsunade's office, my team who were trackers.. Just everything clicked at once.
…...
"Hinata, you need to calm down" Neji pleaded with me as I threw another lamp across my living room. I could feel the tears streaming down my face, tears of sadness and tears of anger. How could he? Today was the two month anniversary of the crime Itachi had committed. A few shinobi were talking about it since they had just finally closed down the Uchiha district yesterday. They had it opened this entire time because it was a mass homicide and they were investigating.
"Don't tell me to calm down!" I yelled at my cousin, storming around my house. I was hurt because he just left me without a goodbye and I was angry at the entire situation.
"I know what today is, you being upset is only hurting yourself" Neji said, trying to calm me down and I didn't want to hear him. I just wanted to shut the world out. I felt lost because the one person I truly needed and wanted was gone. Vanished into thin air and I had no way of finding him. I knew Tsunade wouldn't let me leave to find him because I wouldn't come back until he was found and that wouldn't be great for the safety of the village.
"He's out there all alone and I'm here with no one" I hissed at him, tears continued falling.
"No one? Really?" Neji asked me, sounding really hurt. He left the house and I finally fell on the bottom step of my stairwell. Okay, maybe I shouldn't have said no one. I had him and Kakashi by my side, it just hurts and I wasn't sure how to handle it.
I buried my head into my arms as I wrapped my arms around my legs. I just wanted to cry it all out, hoping it would go away. I knew it wouldn't but I could hope. It still hurt like the day I found out.
My front door reopened and I heard someone walked towards me, I wasn't lifting my head because I'm sure it was just Neji again.
"Hinata, listen to me.." a voice said and I raised my head, Kakashi? Is that why Neji left? To go get him? He sat next to me on the stairs and it was only the two of us. He grabbed my face and we looked at each other.
"I know you're upset, I am too. Today isn't a good day but that can't stop us from having good days. We need to be here for each other" he said softly to me, placing his forehead on mine. I felt nervous because this was the closest I have been to Kakashi. The sense of calm overtook me and I could feel the tears slowly stopping.
"I'm here for you, I think you know this by now," he whispered to me and I nodded my head. We had been anbu partners for five weeks now and I've known his identity for three of them. We had grown very close in the past three weeks. We bonded over what Itachi did at first and now it felt like something else.
"Please calm down, we'll make it through this" he whispered to me and I could feel his lips hovering over mine. I was nervous because I might have cuddled with Itachi a couple of times but we never kissed. This would be my first time kissing someone and I knew it was coming.
Then he moved, our lips met and I felt a small fire in my chest. One I had never felt before and I liked it..
….
"Please calm down, we'll make it through this" he whispered to me and his lips hovered over mine. It was like that day all over again but this time we knew each other, it had been four years since that day. Only this time, he didn't kiss me, I kissed him. He placed both of his hands on my face as we kissed and my hands were on his chest. The small fire I felt the first time in my chest when we kissed, ignited again. Then I realized what we were doing and I pulled away. It was only my hormones, nothing more. I had to tell myself that before we ended up back into a loop like before.
Our faces were still only a few inches apart and we were looking at each other. This was a mistake, we both knew. We had both moved on by now, we weren't officially dating other people but it was clear we were both taken. Yet, here we were..
"We really shouldn't be doing this.." I said to him but again, neither of us moved. He ignored me and kissed me again and I didn't bother breaking it because my body was telling me to go for it. My brain however.. Was screaming at me but I couldn't stop. My hands and tongue were moving on their own, I would be lying if I said I wasn't enjoying it. I could feel Kakashi's hands moving as well, he was close to touching my breasts and that's when I really stopped. I couldn't, I knew if we had sex I wouldn't forgive myself.
"We didn't do that, this never happened," I said, backing away from him this time. Putting a good five feet between us. He nodded his head and sat back at his desk, fixing himself.
"We'll go along with your plan of me hiding in the district for now but we need to figure out some other things. Come by my house later on when you're done here" I said rushingly, I need to get out of the office before I changed my mind. I knew he heard me and he would be there.
…
I was home alone now, I was on the porch just drinking tea. I had a feeling Neji was still with Itachi and the only thing I kept seeing in my mind was what happened between Kakashi and I in his office. It was terrible that I wanted more and even more terrible it was now a secret. I knew I couldn't tell anyone, it would lead to conflict that I didn't want. I created drama for myself for a long time and I never wanted any of it. But this is what happens when you act before you think.
I knew the only reason why I wanted more with Kakashi was because it felt normal, he was my first everything and it felt right. But it felt wrong because Yugao and Itachi were things now. I sighed and started looking around the district. I prayed the seal was enough to keep my family out.
Then I noticed Kakashi was walking through the gates with someone, he was wearing all black and was super pale. I believe his name was Sai, I hadn't gotten the chance to really know him. He filled in for Sasuke on team seven when he went missing.
"Hinata-sama" Sai said, slightly bowing to me.
"Why are you bowing to me?" I asked him, laughing a little bit. I couldn't remember the last time someone bowed to me.
"Don't worry about it, he's here to seal off the district. I already informed Sasuke and I don't think Itachi will protest" Kakashi informed me, completely ignoring my question.
"I hope this works.." I said to him and got up from the porch to follow them. I wanted to watch Sai in action and also test out if it worked with my eyes when he was done.
We walked back to front gate and Sai placed some papers on the ground, five to be exact. He started drawing symbols quickly with his ink and then looked at Kakashi, nodding his head. Kakashi made hand signs for shadow clones and smoked appeared. There was now five Kakashis, Sai handed the four papers to the copies and they took off in all different directions of the district.
"No one will be able to see anything that goes on from the outside or inside once I activate these" Sai spoke to me and I nodded towards him. What did he mean inside?
"All the tags are in place" Kakashi told him and I looked back at Sai.
"Hinata I need your blood for this part," he said and my eyes grew, my blood? What kind of seal was this. I did what I was told, I gave him my hand. He took his kunai and slightly cut the palm of my hand open. The blood dripped off onto the paper, I watched it land next to whomever's blood was already on the paper.
"Who else put their blood on the paper?" I asked as Sai removed his hand from mine.
"Mine, Sasukes and yours" Kakashi informed me as Sai twirled his hands in a pattern and pressed his own palm to the paper, right on top of the seal he painted. The seal turned a bright red and the paper set on fire. I watched as it burned to nothing like it was never here.
"It's done" Sai said, smiling when he looked at the both of us.
"Did it work?" I asked him.
"Activate your byakugan and you tell me" Sai said and I nodded my head. I pushed the chakra to my eyes and could feel the veins on the side of my face. The entire Uchiha district was gray to me, I couldn't see a thing. It was like I was blind.
"Walk beyond the gate" Sai said and I listened. I moved my legs until I beyond the gate and then everything went gray, I couldn't see anything. It comforted me knowing that even if someone from my clan was in here, they couldn't use their eyes. I felt blind so I stopped my byakugan and turned to look at them. They were right behind me and it scared me a little bit.
"I can't see anything, It was like I was blind" I told them, I could see it comforted Kakashi and Sai just looked proud of his work.
"Thank you so much" I told Sai, giving him a hug. He seemed taken aback so he backed away from me.
"Yes, thank you Sai" Kakashi spoke, Sai nodded and left us alone.
"Why did he need our blood though?" I asked Kakashi, still confused about that part.
"As long as the three of us are alive, the seal will stay active. So, unless they want to kill the Hokage and his assistant, you're safe. Plus, who would kill the head village head? That's an immediate death penalty" he said casually like it was nothing. It made me smile knowing the both of them did that for me.
"There's one small issue we haven't thought about yet" I said to him, he shifted a little bit to give me his attention.
"What happens when they're born and have my kekkei genkai?" I asked him and his face paled a little bit.
"We'll figure that out a different day. We have six months left and for now, everyone is safe" he said, trying to remain positive. I hope he was right, I really did. I was putting my trust into him about this.
"Finally, we've been looking for you guys!" Neji yelled from behind us, he was walking next to Itachi.
"You must of just missed me, I was walking over with Sai so he could put a seal on the district" Kakashi said, scratching the back of his head.
"Seal? What kind of seal?" Itachi asked when we were all finally near each other.
"A blood seal" Kakashi told them and they both nodded.
"Whose blood though?" Itachi asked again, he was full of questions today.
"Myself, Hinata and your brother" he answered him and he nodded again. He didn't ask anymore questions and avoid eye contact with me.
"I'm glad you're staying here then" Neji said, breaking the silence. The awkwardness was suffocating and I wanted to get away from Itachi and Kakashi.
"Neji, can we go for a walk? I'm sure Kakashi needs to talk to Itachi" I said, elbowing Kakashi and he moved forward. Neji and Kakashi basically switched places. I grabbed Neji's arm and pulled him along down towards the dock of the lake.
"Are you okay?" he asked me once we were far enough away from them. I glanced back to see they weren't even in the street anymore.
"Yes" I said to him, even though it was a lie. I knew he could tell I was lying but didn't press on it. We made it to the docks and sat down, looking at the water. I didn't mean to but I looked over at Kisame's grave and my heart clenched a little bit. We still haven't put a real headmarker on his grave, samehada was still sticking out of the ground.
"You miss him, don't you?" Neji asked me and I nodded my head.
"I wish there was a way to talk to him," I said softly, our bonding grew very fast and quick. He became one of my favorite people on this earth so abruptly. We sat in silence for a little while, something we both needed. We were meditating, which felt great and then I realized there was something else we needed, a spar.
"I think we should spar" I said out loud, opening my eyes to look at him. He opened both of his eyes and looked at me like I was crazy.
"You're pregnant, we can't do that" he reminded me.
"What if I ask Tsunade and she says yes?" I asked him, I hadn't actually done anything super physical for a while.
"I wouldn't feel comfortable hitting you. I think you need to find someone else" he told me and I knew he was being honest. I thought about it for a second, who would be willing to spar with me.. Then a light went off in my head, Sasuke. I grinned and got off the dock. Neji followed me. This was probably the last time I was able to leave the district, so I took the opportunity.
…
"You may perform as a regular ninja, your body will let you know when enough is enough. Your speed might not be like before though" Tsunade said to me and I nodded my head. I would of asked Ru but it was the sun was setting and I knew they were eating dinner.
"I mean, you can but you need to have someone present who moves fast incase anything goes wrong they can get you out of the way in time," she said, sighing as she spoke. I smiled from ear to ear, I was actually excited for this.
"Who are you trying to spar with anyways?" she asked me.
"I'm going to ask Sasuke, he probably needs some physical activity as well considering the loss of his arm" I said, shrugging slightly. It would be fair to fight him in a way. Neither of us could fully go crazy.
"Be careful, he's been having a hard time dealing with the loss of his arm, he might get angry" she informed me and I nodded my head.
"Please make sure theres someone to watch, you both aren't exactly at your best physicality right now," she added her last comment in.
"Thank you! I will!" I said, bowing to her and running back towards the district. Kakashi wasn't in his office so that meant Sasuke wasn't either. They were at home, they have to be.
…
The last house I checked was my own and I pushed the door open quickly.
"Sasuke!" I yelled, hoping I would get a reply.
"We're back here!" Neji yelled, I moved forward towards the backyard. It was still nice out so they were probably all just relaxing. I opened the back door and everyone was here, except Kisame. It was a little sad to see but I knew it would be okay.
"You're looking for me?" Sasuke asked who was sitting closest to me and I grinned.
"I am, I got the okay from Tsunade for this. I challenge you to a spar" I said, placing my hands on my hips and looking into his eyes. He looked at me weird.
"I accept your challenge" he grinned back at me and slowly got off the ground.
"Wait a minute! She actually said yes?" Neji asked, interrupting us from leaving the backyard.
"As long as we have someone to watch us since I'm carrying little humans and he has one arm" I informed him and he nodded.
"I guess we have some sort of entertainment before dinner then" Kakashi mumbled and everyone started moving towards the open field of grass of the district past the lake. It amazed me how much room their clan had back here. No wonder I never really saw anyone who lived here except for a handful of them.
"What kind of spar are we talking about by the way?" Sasuke asked me when we finally stopped moving. He was holding the hilt of his sword, I had a feeling he wanted to use it.
"No holding back, let's fight like normal ninja would" I said and we locked eyes. We agreed in that moment to not hold back and I was excited. We walked away from each other so we could fight. Neji, Kakashi and Itachi sat on the sidelines. I'm sure any of them were going to jump in if need be.
"Ready?" I shouted towards Sasuke and slid into position. I was going to start with basic Hyuga forms, which felt weird since I hadn't done this style in a long time. He nodded his head and in the instant we both started moving counterclockwise of one another. He took his sword out while we moved.
I blinked and he was in my face, he was still fast as ever and I used my revolving eight trigrams to knock him back a bit. I jumped backwards, throwing some kunais at him. This would be fun, I knew that much.
We both ran towards each other again, my fingertips were lit with jutsu as he had his sword in front of him. If I could just take out his other arm this would be over. We were nearly hand to hand fighting now, he was deflecting my hands with the flat side of his blade, I was impressed. I had never really seen him in action with his weapon.
Not that far into our hand to hand, both blood lines activated and we moved faster. We were both reading each other's moves perfectly. I did however notice chakra was building up in his throat which could only be one thing, a fire related jutsu was coming. A Uchiha speciality. He grinned knowing I saw it and I jumped back, ready with my own jutsu.
"Fireball jutsu" he said quickly, his hand in front of his mouth. A large ball of flame was coming at me quickly.
"Eight trigrams vacuum palm" I said, sending two forces of air out of each of my hands. I hadn't used it in so long but I made sure to send extra chakra out with it. One went right thru his fireball, breaking it apart making smaller fireballs and the other one hit him in the leg. He didn't fall thought and before I could think of anything else, I used my revolving eight trigrams again to avoid being hit with the smaller fireballs. I watched them all hit the ground and we both stood on the field that was partially burning now.
Neither of us wasted time, I waited for him to come to me again. He appeared in front of me again, I heard the sound of birds this time, was he going to Chidori me? I think not. I lit up my fingertips with chakra, ducking out of the way of his chidori. His hand flew by my hand, I could hear my hair burning his chidori faded. I hit his tenketsu point in his hip, causing him to stumble. His speed was the only problem I was having.
"Can't handle my speed Hyuga?" he asked amused and I jumped back a bit. He stood in place, using his sword as a way to balance. I took the opportunity to lung at him, this time displayed my speed. I learned from Kakashi, I was quick but not quick enough. Sasuke used his sword to protect his chest and was ignoring the fact his balance was off. He managed to kick me in the back of the knee, I fell forward a bit.
I was building the chakra up in my hands, I could feel my body becoming slower by the minute from use of my bloodline and jutsus I hadn't used in a long time. I got off the ground, I had a few more tricks up my sleeve, one of them being water needle. I just needed to get to the lake.
I got off the ground and took off running as fast as I could, I could hear him behind me.
"Don't think running away is going to work this time!" he shouted, my byakugan was still activated and I was glad because he lunged his sword forward with all his might. It was coming straight for me and so I jumped to the left to get out of the way. Then I realized he missed and I wondered what he had up his sleeve and before I knew it he vanished. I was headed straight towards the lake and his sword, which was stuck in the shoreline.
Sasuke appeared in front of me, holding his sword and he smiled. Did he just use his sword to teleport? I was amazed, when did he learn that? I ignored him and continued running. I watched him take out a scroll and it summoned a giant senbon which he hurled at me. I was about three feet from the water and I took the opportunity to skid right into the water. I could feel my clothes being covered in mud and soaking up the water. I nearly submerged myself so I got up, jumping on top of the water, balancing with chakra on the bottom of my feet.
"Are we going to end this fight on the water?" he asked, slowly walking on top of the water, he looked a little wobbly but he wasn't going to falter.
"It's your funeral" I said, grinning but he knew I was joking. The chakra in my hands was finally enough and I concentrated. Water on both sides of me started whirling and he studied me for a bit. The water was swirling in huge circles now and it was finally ready. I raised my arms, taking a large amount of water above my head.
"Water needle" I spat out and the body of water suddenly became a thousand small water needles. He would have to get crafty to avoid all of these and I pushed my arms forward so the needles rushed towards him.
"Fireball jutsu!" he shouted, he couldn't evaporate all of them and even I knew that. I couldn't keep up with my bloodline any longer so I deactivated it and it looked like a dream. Everything was foggy now from the fire over taking the water, I couldn't see Sasuke but I heard movements in the water and then his sword landed in the water, stuck into the ground. The next thing I heard was thunder crackling and I looked around. The sky was turning black and it clicked in my mind, he was using Karin.
I needed to get off the water quickly before he fried me, I also needed to stop him. My hands lit up in blue chakra and I ran forward. I couldn't reactive my bloodline so I hoped I would just find him.
"Twin lion fists!" I shouted and then I saw a figure, the sky cracked one more time and I knew I was running out of time. Once Karin was activated it wouldn't stop until the first bolt hit the ground. Anything in a mile radius would get zapped and his sword was the main beacon.
The figure was definitely Sasuke and I hit him straight in the stomach with one hand and his injured shoulder side with my other, he fell backwards and we both went under water. I heard the final thunder crackle in the air and I waited to get electrocuted but I felt nothing. Only a warm sensation around my body.
I did however feel someone dragging me towards the surface and I opened my eyes, Sasuke and I were both being taken to the surface.
We were finally on shore near Sasuke's sword and I finally looked to see Kakashi and Itachi behind us not looking very happy. Sasuke saw it too and we both looked at each other and laughed a bit.
"I'm glad almost killing each other is funny to you guys" Neji said, scolding us like small children.
"I had fun, did you have fun Sasuke?" I asked him and he nodded his head and we both fell backwards to lay on the ground. We were both breathing a little heavy due to chakra exhaustion but it was worth it.
"How come we didn't get hit with Karin?" I asked, getting off the ground to stand. I extended my hand to Sasuke to help him up, which he accepted.
"Right when we went under, I activated Susanoos for a brief second so you wouldn;t get hurt because I remember there are little humans inside of you and I'm not a monster" Sasuke informed me and I nodded my head.
"Well now that you guys have had your fun, can we eat dinner now?" Neji asked, sounding more relaxed than he had a few minutes ago.
"Yes, please" I said and we all set our ways back towards the house, everyone walked a head a bit. Leaving Itachi and I in the back of the small pack we had. I swallowed the small lump in my throat and tried to hold his hand. I wondered if he would allow me and to my surprise he did. I wonder if Neji talked some sense into him.
…..
Neji and I were the only ones left at the table, everyone went to shower and go to bed. We hadn't really talked much earlier or really at all in a while. Partially because I had left the village, again..
"So, did you end up talking to Itachi earlier?" I asked him, finally breaking the silence.
"Yes, he's not upset that you're having twins because you can control that. He's upset because he feels selfish thinking that once these babies come you'll forget about him" Neji explained to me. It made me sad to hear that, although it did sound inf of ridiculous.
"I could never forget about him" I told my cousin and he nodded his head.
"That's what I told him and he thought about it. He just doesn't want to be a hindrance on your life. He's just being a little weird right now but I'm sure in a few months he'll be back to normal. It took two months to get him to be okay with you again, just give him time" Neji explained to me and once he said the word hindrance, I felt like a bad person. All this time he was worried about being annoying and here I was, making out with Kakashi in his office. I was officially the worst kind of person.
"What's the matter, you're pushing your fingers together" Neji said and I looked down, I didn't even realize I was doing it. But since I was caught I couldn't lie now because he'll know.
"I did something earlier.. I'm not proud of it.." I admitted, whispering so Itachi wouldn't hear me. Neji raised his eyebrows, curious as to what I had to say now.
"Kakashi and I.. we um.. Had a small sexual encounter earlier.. It just happened" I said, looking into his eyes and they were closed but I could tell he was upset.
"Itachi is sitting here feeling about being in the way of your life and you're here doing things with another man? What's wrong with you?" he asked me being rude and I deserved it. I had no idea what to say to him either because he was right.
"I'm not going to tell anyone but I'm not going to help if someone finds out," he told me, looking me in the eyes. I nodded my head and removed myself from the kitchen table, he copied me. I think it was time for bed. Tomorrow is a new day.
I took a quick shower, walked across the hall and opened the door to the bedroom. Itachi looked like he was sleeping so I tried to stay quiet. I dropped my towel on the floor and slid into bed. I wrapped my arm around him and buried my face in his back. His hand grabbed mine and squeezed.
"I love you" I whispered, giving his neck a kiss. Whether he was awake or asleep, that needed to be said. I truly did, I wish earlier never happened and I hoped he would never find out, it would break him.
I felt his body move, he turned to face me.
"I love you too" he said, bringing me into his chest. I inhaled his scent and nearly cried. I didn't deserve him.
Then an idea went off in my head, I would ask Kakashi if tomorrow could be my last day of freedom so I could take Itachi out on a date. It was traditional but I needed to show him love like I said I would all that time ago and I still haven't.
I felt him kiss the top of my head and I laid there, hoping sleep would come soon.
