(Itachi ending)

Itachis POV:

I didn't open my eyes yet but I was awake and felt like death. Did I die? My memory was slowly coming back now. I was fighting the last Kaguya clan follower so it would all be over, I was bleeding out heavily and I was talking. Who was I talking to? Did the man die?

"Itachi?" a womans voice said gently and I opened my eyes slowly. Oh hell, the more I was waking up the more everything hurt.

"I'm glad you're okay" she spoke again and I could make out purple hair. Konan? Then I remember she killed the man and saved me.

"If you saved me so I could join another akatsuki, you should of let me die" I told her and tried to move. I couldn't though, I had no energy at all.

"Still the same Itachi, don't worry. Everything is okay now. You're safe and finally awake" she told me and I looked around. I was on a bed, bandaged up and in a small gray room. It didn't look like a hospital, where had she taken me?

"How long have I been out for?" I asked, moving my fingers a bit.

"Two months" she told me and I felt my eyes grow wide. They're going to think I'm dead, it was already nine weeks of silence from me the day I fought that man. It had been over four months now.

"Where am I?" I asked her, my throat felt like I swallowed sand.

"We're in my home in the wind country" she told me and started moving towards me. She held my head up a bit while she placed a glass of water on my lips. It felt like velvet going down and my insides felt better already.

"The wing country?" I asked her when she moved the glass away from my mouth. That would mean another two week journey home.

"Yes, I've lived here ever since the day Pein attacked your home," sounding hesitant when she spoke. I held no harsh feelings with her since she didn't actually do anything that day.

"Don't worry about it but I need to get home" I told her, trying to sit up again and she held me down on the bed with one hand. I really was weak..

"You need to restore your muscles. You've been in this bed for two months" she reminded me and I sighed out loud.

"Well, could we start with at least sitting up. I want to shower" I said, hoping I could at least do that. I did owe her my life for saving me, I owed a lot of people in my life these past years for saving me.

"Grab my hands and try pulling yourself up" she told me and I listened. I grabbed her hands and strained myself to pull myself forward. I could feel my insides shaking while I did so but I knew it had to be done.

It took nearly five minutes but I was finally sitting up and I got lightheaded quickly. I tightened my grip on her hands some more.

"You can't even sit up without feeling ill and you wanted to go home," she reprimanded me and I locked eyes with her, giving her a dirty look.

Every single day for the past month, Konon had helped me get my muscles back in top shape and then some. I felt great and I was ready to start my journey home. I had been gone long enough, I felt better mentally, physically and emotionally. I hadn't been home in almost six months and I was ready to see everyone again. I'm sure they were worried about me too.

"Konan, I have a question to ask you," I said as I closed the door to the bedroom behind me. All this time of being around her, we grew closer than we had in the Akatsuki. We learned a lot about each other and we were the only two left alive.

"Would you want to come live in the leaf village? You wouldn't be alone anymore" I told her, it was an honest suggestion and she wasn't a wanted criminal anymore.

"Would the Hokage be okay with that?" she questioned me looking unsure of how to respond to me.

"I assure you, it wouldn't be a problem," I told her and she looked happier now.

"If you're sure" she said, getting off the couch.

"I'll come for now and see if everything works out" she spoke as she walked into the bedroom. Well, this was good. The least I could do was open my district to her after she helped me all the time. She deserved it and I knew ever since Yahiko and Nagato died, she felt alone.

"We should be seeing the leaf village soon" I told her as we continued walking. Our two week journey to get here wasn't as bad as I thought it would be, except the sun was setting now.

"Do I get to meet this Hinata person by the way?" she asked me, catching me off guard.

"More than likely, she lives in my district. As well as the Hokage, my friend Neji and my little brother" I informed her. A few details of my life here went missing when we were talking about things and that was one of them. It wasn't crucial information so I never thought of telling her.

"How exciting" she said and I glanced at her. She looked generally happy to be here and I'm sure it was because she finally had someone with her and wasn't alone in the farthest part of the wind country. She didn't have pets or neighbors, she was truly alone before I came crashing into her life abruptly.

"I guess" I said and then I could finally see it, the village. For some reason, my stomach started turning. I couldn't tell which emotion was trying to take over at this point.

We reached the gates and I made eye contact with Izumo, he came over to us quickly.

"You need to go straight to the manor" he told me and I sulked a bit, I was hoping to go home first but I guess not. I'm sure it was mostly because I had someone with me who wasn't apart of the leaf village.

"Konan, grab onto me" I instructed her and she responded quickly. I made the hand signs and flickered us to door of his office. My heart rate sped up a bit.

"I didn't know you could do that," she told me, removing her hands from me.

"It's something we're taught in anbu" I told her and knocked on the door. I heard shuffling and finally the door opened.

Sasuke.

Before I could even speak, my head jerked to the left from his fist. He punched me as hard as he could but then I was pulling forward by my shirt into a pair of arms.

"We thought you were dead," he said quietly and let me go.

"You suck at greeting people" I said, holding my face to where he hit me.

"And you suck at sending letters" he hissed at me. I deserved it, I knew they were going to think the worst but I'm sure seeing me relieved them.

"In his defense, he was in a two month coma" Konan spoke trying to help a little bit.

"Come in here and shut the door" Kakashi spoke from behind Sasuke and all of us moved inside the office more.

"I'm glad you've returned home safely," he said and he looked so tired. I'm sure running a village and raising two kids was a lot of energy, even for him.

"I'm glad to be back" I admitted.

"I'm assuming since you're back that all of them are dead?" he asked me as he placed his hands on the desk in front of him.

"Yes and I would of died if she didn't save me" I told him, trying to get her some good points from Kakashi. I wasn't sure how he felt about me anymore but I knew how I felt.

"Are we suddenly doing good deeds?" he asked her, making a dig toward her previous career path that her and I had in common.

"I've kept to myself since the last time I was here," she told him and he nodded his head and my eyes caught something shiny. He had a ring on his finger, were they going to get married?

"I brought her so she could have a second chance at life and not be alone. I owe her my life for saving me" I butted in so the tension would ease a little bit that was coming from him.

"I can't let someone live here who once part of its destruction" he said and we locked eyes again.

"You have given so many of us second chances. Me, Kisame and Sasuke are prime examples. What makes her different?" I asked him, I knew the answer but I needed to try and convince him otherwise.

"If being here causes stress and tension, I will leave. Don't beat yourself up over it" Konan said, placing a hand on my shoulder.

"See, she realizes it. Why can't you?" Kakashi asked and then I started wondering if he was in a bad mood or not.

"If you won't give her a chance then I need you to dismiss me as a leaf village ninja. I will not live here if won't even give it a trial" I told him and I crossed my arms. I felt like a child but I saw the change in his facial expression.

"Fine. You have two weeks, if you can prove to me you're a changed person I will allow you to live here" Kakashi said, rolling his eyes.

"Can I go home now?" I asked him, hoping the answer would be yes. I was ready for my own bed and shower.

"We were actually about to head back to the district ourselves for dinner" Sasuke said and started heading towards the door.

"Can you give Kakashi and I a second?" I asked both of them and they left the office silently. Kakashi got up from his desk and walked around it.

"I know we haven't been on the best terms in a while but I wanted you congratulate you and Hinata on everything" I kept my message vague because I wasn't sure if the twins were still a secret or not and their engagement.

He stayed silent for a few seconds and then extended his hand to me. Was this the rebirth of an old friendship? Or was this just neutral respect?

I took his hands and we shook on it.

"Thank you" he said sincerely and we both turned to leave his office.

"Knock before you enter your house" Sasuke said as we entered the district and I was confused but nodded my head.

We went our separate ways for now and we stepped onto the front porch of my home.

I knocked and waited but then I heard movement from the other side and it didn't take long for the door to open.

Neji just stood there, his hair all messed up and looked like he had saw a ghost.

"You're finally back, we thought.." his sentence faded but I knew what he wanted to say. Then his eyes shifted to Konan and back to me.

"Can I come into my house now?" I asked him.

"One second" he closed the door and I heard a bunch of shuffling which took about two minutes. What the hell was he doing? Then the door opened again and he stepped aside.

"What a lovely home" Konan said, looking around as she entered and I shut the door behind us.

"What the hell were you doing in here before we arrived?" I asked, curious and I heard movement from upstairs. Was someone else here with him?

"Tenten is here also" he said and I watched the small blush appear on his face and I left it alone. Good for him, I'm happy they finally decided to do something about their feelings.

"Let me show you where to put your stuff for now," I said to Konan and started walking up the stairs. We would have to share a bedroom for now until we got the last spare bedroom clean for her to use as her own.

I opened the door to my room and turned the light on, it looked weird to me for a minute. I hadn't seen it so empty looking before. All of Hinata's stuff had been taken out, leaving only my belongings. Then I realized that even though I was back, I would have to see Hinata again and I knew she was probably mad at me. I didn't say goodbye properly the last time I saw her and I'm sure I would endure her wrath.

"Were you really ready to give up your citizenship for me?" she asked as she placed her stuff on the ground near the closet.

"Yes, I want to repay you for helping me and I couldn't possibly do that if I were here and you were not" I told her as I placed my stuff on the bed.

"Well.. thank you" she said awkwardly and I nodded my head.

"So when do I get to meet your brother?" she asked me as she sat on the bed.

"You already did, he was the one who punched me in the face when he entered the Hokage manor" I informed her and touched my face again, it was still sore. She giggled a bit.

"He's very forward" she commented and I nodded my head.

"He's only forward with fighting, not so much emotions" I told her.

"So the very opposite of you," she said and she was correct. Sasuke always hit first and asked questions later. I hated fighting and would rather talk first.

"The Hokage is Kakashi, the gentleman who answered the door is Neji, the woman he has here is Tenten" I filled her in some more on the people in the district. Then the front door crashed open.

"And I can guarantee that's Hinata" I said nervously.

"Does she always enter with this much noise?" she asked me and I heard the stairs creaking.

"Itachi!" Hinata yelled before she came rounding the corner. Then there she was, standing in the doorway of my bedroom. I could see the anger in her eyes as they glared at me and looked at Konan.

"How dare you" she spat at me and I waited for her to spill her speech.

"You didn't even tell me you were leaving!" she yelled at me and took a step inside my bedroom.

"I'm going to go shower" Konan said awkwardly as she got off the bed. I'm sure she would find the bathroom as she fled the room. Hinata slammed the door behind her. Then all the feelings and emotions from that day to this very minutes started filling my head.

"You could of died and you didn't even say goodbye" she breathed out as she started calming down and I wasn't sure what to say. The events of the day I left started coming back to mind. I left so I wouldn't get hurt anymore. I left so that her children could have both of their parents. I left because I loved her. I left so we could both move on. It seemed to work too, she had an engagement ring on her finger.

"I'm sorry I didn't say goodbye, I mean it" I told her and the look in her eyes shifted to something I couldn't figure out.

She moved forward towards me and wrapped her arms around me and so I returned the favor. But then it all came rushing back, the feelings I swore to myself were gone, reappeared. Like an instant rush, I felt better around her. I felt good but I knew I couldn't do anything this time. She was to be a married woman. Kakashi had won and I was not going to end that.

"I forgive you but if you ever leave again and I don't hear the words goodbye, I will hunt you down" she whispered to me and I couldn't help but smile.

"Deal" I told her and she let go of me, taking a step back.

"You and Konan should come over tomorrow and meet the twins, they're five months old now," she said, a huge smile appeared on her face.

"That sounds great. I'm sorry I couldn't be here when they were born" I told her, I really was.

"It's okay, you were doing me a huge favor outside the village. Thank you" she said and I nodded my head. It was something that needed to be done and at least we could relax now knowing the threat was gone.

Hinata had stayed for about an hour and we caught up on things, she even thanked Konan for saving my life and had promised to make her dinner tomorrow night.

But the more I stayed and talked to her, the more I wanted her but I had to contain myself. It hurt but I knew once my daily routine was back to normal, it would be easier.

A few hours had passed and we finally unpacked everything, had dinner and were both ready to sleep.

"I'll sleep on the couch, you can have the bed" I said to Konan.

"I don't mind sharing tonight, we both walked a long way here," she told me pulling the covers back on the bed.

"If you're sure" I told her, shutting the light off and moving toward the bed. I certainly didn't mind. The bed was big enough and I wasn't fazed by it.

She got into the bed and I removed my shirt as I crawled in and I'd never been so happy to feel a bed in my life.

"Can I ask you something?" She asked and I looked at her, waiting for the question.

"Do you have feelings for Hinata?" she asked and it took me by surprise.

"Yes, deeply. She's everything to me" I admitted and she took a deep breath. I'm sure she didn't want to push further because even in our days of the Akatsuki, for some reason no one asked me questions. It was always strange to me considering I was probably the most lax person there.

Nothing more was said and I fell asleep quickly.

The next morning I woke up but the sun wasn't up yet and someone was laying on me or better yet, I was holding someone.

Konan was struggled deep into my chest and my arm was securely around her. And so I continued to look at her with whatever light I had from outside. My finger started brushing her skin lightly.

She started moving slightly and I knew she had woken up. She was probably thinking the same exact thing I was and yet I still kept touching her.

It felt like slow motion at this point, I'm not sure why either but I knew something was about to happen, I could feel it.

She rolled slightly to look at me and we just kept our eyes on each other. My hand touched her face slightly as she got a little closer to me.

I wasn't sure what caused this but I'm sure it was okay and so I moved myself. I flipped us both so I was on top of her now, our foreheads were touching.

One of her hands had stayed on my shoulder while the other one was placed on my chest.

I think we both just needed to feel loved for one, to be touched, to have just something. I knew it was a lot for her to change her entire life coming here. I also knew that I was happy Hinata was to marry Kakashi, but it still hurt to see.

My thoughts stopped suddenly when her lips brushed mine and I felt the heat rise to my face. I greeted her back with my lips a little harder.

"Are you sure?" she asked me, our faces still nearly touching and I shook my head to let her know it was fine. In the back of mind was the night I spent with Yugao and it dawned on me, I think I had a small attraction to females with purple hair.

She slid her hands into my hair and nothing was stopping me now, my thoughts were gone and I pursued her.

The depth of our kisses increased when she allowed me access to her mouth and she grabbed my hair tighter which turned me on even more.

I moved off of her, both of us out of breathe for a minute and I watched the sun just barely making light in the sky. It was done, Konan and I slept together and the void of feeling missed was gone for now.

Hinata's POV:

I was just nearly done cooking dinner when the front door opened. Kakashi and Sasuke had returned home from work, the babies were sleeping and Ru went back to the compound for a little bit.

I turned from the stove to grab the dishes from the cabinet when they finally entered the kitchen and I turned to greet them. Sasuke looked unusually happy, did that mean news on Itachi's body? I had given up hope on him being alive when the twins were born, I had a strange feeling that day. But, Kakashi and I decided to name our daughter after him in a way to keep his memory alive.

"How was work today guys?" I asked as I put the plates down, hoping I could figure out why Sasuke's aura was shining.

"There's been news on my brother" he spoke, getting right to the point too. Then my heart started accelerating.

Kakashi came over to the counter and leaned against it but my eyes stayed on Sasuke, waiting for him to speak.

"He's alive," he said, the smile finally finding its way to his face. A wave of relief washed over me knowing he was still out there.

"And," he spoke again and my happiness paused itself, I didn't like the way he said and.

"He's home right now, he brought back a friend too" he finished his sentence and all my emotions had rushed back, mostly anger. He was going to get a peace of my mind for leaving without a goodbye again. I glanced at Kakashi and he gestured toward the front door, his way of saying to go see him.

I fled my kitchen and ran towards his home. I got there quickly and kicked the front door open.

….

The sound of Sakumo crying had awoken me from my sleep and I glanced at the clock before I removed myself from Kakashi's arms. Nine in the morning.

Nine. In. The. Morning.

"Kakashi" I whispered harshly as I started to shake him and he groaned a bit.

"Is everything okay?" he asked, his eyes finally opened.

"Look at the time!" I said, hoping out of the bed and he looked, a smile appearing on his face. I smiled to myself and started making my way downstairs. The twins had finally slept through the night.

They stopped sleeping the entire night about two months ago and It's been a long two months. No wonder I felt so refreshed when I woke up this morning. We were all refreshed, Sasuke and Ru had also been woken up whenever they did. Ru mostly though, Sasuke had been out a lot for a few weeks now.

"Good morning baby boy" I said from the doorway as I walked over to his crib. I glanced over to see Karasu still sleeping deeply.

I picked him up and brought him to the changed table, which took only a minute but I knew he wanted breakfast more than anything. He always ate more in the morning, his sister ate more at night.

As I walked out of the bedroom, Ru had walked out from the guest bedroom on the first floor.

"Wow" she said and I knew what she meant, today was going to be a good day, I felt it.

As I got the bottle ready for his breakfast, Karasu started crying and Ru moved before I even thought about it. I absolutely loved her, she had become my best friend rather quickly over the past few months.

..

"Our guests will be here soon," I said, finally sitting down at the table with the others. Sasuke had invited Sakura and Naruto over and I made a huge dinner for Konan and Itachi. Neji and Tenten were supposed to come but Neji had to do paperwork.

All I knew was that she saved his life and I was grateful to her, I wouldn't know what to do if he died trying to protect me.

Then a knock at the door grabbed all of our attention and Sasuke moved quickly to greet them. I glanced at Kakashi and he looked upset.

"You okay?" I whispered to him, he didn't say anything except for place his hand on mine and gave it a squeeze. I wasn't sure what to make of that answer but I knew I was going to ask him about it later.

Sasuke came back into the room, Itachi and Konan right behind him and the three of them took their seats.

Itachis POV:

Once I stepped into the house, the first thing I remember was fist fighting with Kakashi and I was trying to rip his sharingan out of his face.

I shook the vision out of my head and followed my brother to the dining room where everyone was sitting. Konan and I quickly took our seats and I looked around at everyone. My eyes lingered on Hinata for a second too long and I broke my eye contact.

"I'm glad to see you here, Itachi" Sakura was the first to speak and I was happy about it because now the awkward silence was gone.

That's when we started eating dinner and I looked around at all the food. Hinata really went out of the way for this, although I was excited to eat considering I missed real food. Konana and I didn't exactly eat meals like this every night. Sometimes, we would go hungry.

Except right now, dinner was going great and everyone as nearly done eating.

"I actually had a question for you and Itachi, Hinata," Kakashi spoke and I looked at him, as did she.

"Iruka has been asking if you wanted to go back to teaching? They need the help and since Itachi is back now, I figured I could send you both back" he informed us.

I hadn't even thought about working again and it sounded like a good idea. I did miss passing on my knowledge and skills when I was there. The kids were small sculptures I was shaping.

"I would enjoy that" she and I said at the same time, which caused her to laugh.

"Then that settles it, tomorrow will be your first day back. I will inform Iruka before the academy opens so he has a heads up" Kakashi finished his sentence and took a drink from his cup. I looked at him while he drank and something was off about him right now and I couldn't figure out what.

"If you will excuse me, I'm going to bed, today has drained me" Kakashi said, pushing himself back from the table, taking his plate with him.

"I'm going to check on the twins really quick. Goodnight everyone" he said to everyone, leaving the room quickly. I peeked at Hinata and she looked pissed.

"Hinata, this was so good. Thank you" Konan said, placing her fork down on her empty plate. I watched Hinatas facial expression turn quickly from angry to excited.

"I'm glad you liked it, it was for you especially" she reminded her.

"It's really not that big of a deal" Konan said, trying to brush off the fact I didn't die because of her.

"No," Hinata said sternly.

"It is" she finished her sentence and made me feel uncomfortable since they were talking about something related to me.

Dinner had ended.

Sakura, Naruto and Sasuke had left to go do something, Konan asked if it was okay to go back to my house, which it was and Ru had gone to shower. I offered to help Hinata clean the kitchen, she tried to refuse but I ignored her anyways.

"You really don't have to help me clean, you're a guest in my home," she huffed at me, trying to get to the sink.

"If you want to wash dishes so bad, you'll have to get this from me" I teased her as I held up a dripping soapy wet dish above my head. The perks of being tall I supposed. Then she actually tried jumping for it and she failed. She did however grab my forearm and pulled my arm down a bit. I let her win and lowered my arm a bit so she could grab the dish.

"Thank you" she said and bumped me out of the way with her hip. I tumbled a bit but I collected myself to stand against the counter.

"So when do I get to meet your children?" I asked her since that was mostly the reason to come here tonight.

"When they're awake, this is normally their long nap time" she told me, placing the clean dish on the towel next to me.

"Ah, okay. What are their names?" I asked her, I was full of questions today.

"Our son is Sakumo after Kakashi's father and our daughters name is Karasu.. After you" she said and nearly whispered the last two words I almost didn't hear her.

"What?" I said out loud and she turned towards me, then I heard the sniffle. Oh no.

"I thought you died" she said, finally looking at me, her eyes were watery. I had no idea what to say.

"We named her after you in a sense, to keep your memory living on" she whispered and tears fell from her face.

"I'm sorry for not sending any letters home, truly" I told her and I really was, it was the first thing I thought of when I woke up from my coma in Konans house.

"Hinata?" a gentle voice asked from the kitchen doorway and we both looked to see Ru.

"I can see you need a minute, go ahead. I'll stay here with the babies" Ru had told her and she nodded her head, moving quickly away from me. I knew I had to follow her, she needed to express her emotions.

I heard the back door open and I moved a little quicker. I gave Ru a thanking look when I walked by her and I followed Hinata.

She had headed straight towards the back of the district. To the hill where every time something went wrong, we somehow ended up here. We had made it far away from the houses, we couldn't see them anymore and she sat down. I sat near her and she just cried, while I waited and looked up at the moon. It was a nice clear night out, the stars were bright too.

"Talk to me" I said gently, hoping she would open up.

"Ever since you left, my life has been a roller coaster. I've been trying so hard to keep a smile on my face and seeing you just triggered everything" she spoke, sniffling while she wiped the tears from her face.

"Well I'm here to listen, if you wish you speak" I assured her, keeping my attention on her.

"Kakashi has been acting weird lately, the babies are doing all sorts of new things, the elders still don't know about them and you've returned. I'm not sure where to start" she filled me, turning herself towards me.

Hinatas POV:

Once I turned toward Itachi, I just kept looking at him. I was still in shock he was in front of me. Now I know how everyone felt when I didn't write home for the last two months of my year leave.

"Kakashi is more than likely acting weird from stress, hes raising children and running a village" he told me, trying to make me feel better.

"I know that much, but you saw the way at dinner how he quickly left. Tonight was the first time since he proposed I didn't get a kiss goodnight" I rambled to him, I needed to vent.

"He said he was tired, it's not the end of the world" he told me and sounded a little harsh but I didn't take it personally. I had a feeling that Kakashi wasn't pleased Itachi was back in a way but didn't want to say anything and ruin dinner.

Itachi and I sat there for however long, really talking about things this time. Not some quick catch up we did yesterday when he first came back with Konan.

"Ah, by the way. I know Kakashi gave her two weeks but I'll make sure she stays" I told him and I had my reasons behind it.

Itachis POV:

"Why?" I questioned her and then she took one of my hands in both of hers.

"When I was spying on the Akatsuki, she was the only one who had no evil intentions. She just stood back, even when they attacked the village and she saved you. I know she's not evil" she reassured me that my friend would permanently staying here and then the feeling hit me.

The day I told Kakashi I was done with her, it was from rage. I placed my hand on top of hers and hoped she wasn't taking me touching her hands in the wrong way.

"You mean a lot to me and I can do this for you since you killed those people for me. Call it even?" she asked, giving me a small smile.

It was definitely from rage not from logical feelings. I kept looking at her and it all rushed back. It took two hours of talking to her to realize, I'm still in love with Hinata.

"I think it's time we get back to our homes" I said getting up, taking her with me and I let go of her hands while we started walking. This was going to be a secret that would kill me and the only person I could tell was Konan. The only person in the village who wouldn't judge me for being in love with an engaged woman. I lost my chance all these months ago and I wasn't going to create a war my second day back, not even ever.

"Itachi" she said before the houses started coming into view and I stopped to look at her.

"Thank you for listening to me, I feel better now," she told me.

"I'm here for you always, don't you know?" I questioned her and began moving again. I just knew that I could never again be around her alone. I would do something foolish.

"Goodnight Hinata, see you tomorrow," I told her as I turned to leave her front porch. Then I felt her grab my arm and I turned to her crashing into me for a hug. She buried her face into my neck and I wrapped my arms around her. Her face being on my skin wasn't helping me, nor was her scent.

"Goodnight Itachi" she said kindly, removing her arms from me and I damn near ran home.

I opened my front door quickly and headed towards my room, hopefully sleep would help me. And so I opened my bedroom door and started taking my clothes off so I could lay down.

Once I got in my bed, Hinata kept running thru my mind and I turned myself on my side, facing the doorway and I realized Konan wasn't lying down yet.

I shut my eyes finally and laid there for a few minutes when I finally heard the bedroom open and I opened my eyes slightly to see Konan walking in with a towel on. She walked toward the dresser and dropped her towel, probably figuring I was sleeping. I marveled at her body and it dawned on me, the distraction from Hinata was standing in front of me. I just hoped she would be willing to do things again.

I quietly and quickly snuck up behind her, wrapping my arms around her body.

"Oh, did I wake you up?" she asked me and I started kissing her neck.

"No" I said bluntly and moved her face towards me while I was still behind her. I gave her a hard kiss while my free hand slowly moved up her stomach towards her breasts. I still wasn't sure why after all this time knowing her, we picked these past nights to touch each other intimately.

I licked the bottom of her lip, asking for access which I was granted. I moved my hand from her face and into her damp hair, bunching a fist full of it up to pull a little bit. My other hand started rolling her nipples and I heard a moan escape her. That's when she took one of her free hands to start stroking me. It caught me off guard a little bit but the faster she went, the harder I was getting/

I shifted myself in front of her and we made our way back to the bed, I wanted every single part of her tonight and I didn't care if I was dead tired in the morning.

I stopped kissing her mouth and moved down her jawline, to her neck, slowly down her chest and torso. I made it to where I wanted to be and opened her legs some more.

My slipped two fingers inside of her while my tongue had found her clit. My free hand had crawled up her body so I could play with one of her nipples.

I could tell doing these three things was getting to her because her breath became a bit heavier and she arched her back.

"Fuck.." she moaned out and I knew it was time. I slowly stopped and started kissing her body as I made my way up her body once more, reaching her mouth once more.

"Fuck me" she begged me and pulled me into a hard kiss, then drew away slowly pulling my lower lip with it. I had never had someone ask me that and it the drive of my want, even higher.

I grabbed her by the lower back and switched out position. I was sitting on the edge of bed now, she was straddling me. She lifted herself up and slowly came down on me and I moaned a bit as she slowly went all the way down.

She grabbed some of my hair and the back of my neck a bit, starting moving up and down. I let a low moan out as she started rocking her hips.

I opened my eyes a bit and her head was tilted back a bit as she continued fucking me and she looked damn hot while she did it.

I grabbed her breasts into my hands and started licking her nipples while I played with them, it caused her to moan some more and move faster. The faster she went, the more I could feel myself coming close to going. It also wasn't helping the fact I had her breasts so close to my face.

I grabbed her by the waist and moved the both of us, I was now on top of her and she wrapped her legs around me from underneath me.

I started moving as fast as I could and the core of me was heating up quickly and she placed her hands on my back. She dug her nails into me as I slowed down a bit but went harder. She scratched from my shoulders down my back and I grunted a bit and went harder.

She started moaning louder and digging her nails deeper, turning me on more.

She somehow flipped us back over and sat straight up on top me, rocking her hips hard and fast. Her breasts had started moving with her and I knew I was going to go soon so I gripped onto her thighs and she was finally moving in a certain direction and tilted her head all the way back.

"Finish with me" she said, taking my hands and putting them on her chest. She moved my fingers over her nipples, indicating to play with them and her moans were now completely loud and my breathing hitched. Watching her go, made me go. We actually went at the same time and I was impressed.

She crawled off of me to lay next to me and we caught our breaths.

Once I could breathe again, I moved myself up the bed, getting under the covers. She followed suit and I could feel the sleepiness creeping up.

"Would you mind I cuddled with you?" she asked meekly and I laughed.

"No, it's okay" I said, lifting my arms and she got comfortable on my chest, her leg over mine. I felt bad I used her as a distraction from Hinata but I needed to. I didn't think she minded either.

I woke up a few hours later and quickly got ready for my first day back at the academy. I slipped out of my room and down the stairs to grab some water before I left and I bumped into Neji who was eating breakfast.

"Did you have fun last night?" he asked me, without looking at me. Oh.. he heard us then. Shit.

"Uh.." I started saying, not sure what to say and he laughed a bit.

"Don't answer that. I know you did, Tenten and I heard you guys. Remember that other people live here too" he replied calmly and my heart rate went back to normal. Well, at least he's not judging me but it also meant at any point in time he could get revenge and I couldn't do anything about it.

"So where are you going?" he asked, changing the subject.

"The academy. Kakashi has sent Hinata and I back to teach" I informed him, finally grabbing my cup and filling it with water.

"I hope you have a good day then, I'll let Konan know that Tenten will be here all day when I leave so shes not alone" Neji said, well.. That was thoughtful of him. I didn't even think of that and she was my guest in the house.

"Thank you" I told him and chugged my water and headed toward the front door.

..

Lunch time was finally here and all the students went outside for their hour break. The day here was now two hours longer but we gave them an hour to relax. It was at least pretty balanced in that sense. I was told Sasuke actually changed the rules about that because he thought this wave of students were weak. It made me laugh a bit when I heard that.

"Itachi" a male said from the doorway of my classroom and I looked to see Iruka.

"You want to get something to eat?" he asked and I shook my head. I wanted to stay here and catch up a little bit on papers.

"Suit yourself" he said casually and left, silence overcoming the room again. Except for the small noises from the students outside since one of my windows was open.

"You didn't want to eat either?" a woman asked and I heard footsteps. I knew it was Hinata but I didn't want to look at her, I couldn't.

"I wanted to catch up on these papers" I said, going over one of the kids answers and then she sat on my desk. The very left corner of it.

She had worn a knee length black skirt today and I glanced quickly to see it pulled back a bit from sitting down.

"Do you have to sit on my desk?" I complained, finally up straight to look at her. I had to or I would just look at her legs and I didn't want to do that. She looked nice though, she had a black button up shirt on to go with it. We weren't required to wear the shinobi vests.

"Figured I'd ask how your first day back was going," she said to me, leaning back a bit. Her arms keeping her upright from behind.

"I could ask you the same thing" I retorted and she rolled her eyes.

"I'm just tired, I had a dream last night and couldn't go back to sleep afterwards" and I noticed when she said dream, the tinge of pink just barely covered her face. I guess we both had a long night.

"I'm tired too, I had a lot on my mind and went to bed late," I admitted, it wasn't a lie. I just happen to leave out the Konan part.

"You want to talk about it?" she asked me, leaning forward now.

"No, it's alright" I lied again but it was fine. I'm the one who ended things, I can't be selfish.

"Okay, well. Do you want to go outside for a bit? We have fifty minutes of this lunch left" she suggested and started to remove herself from my desk.

"Sure" I said and I should of just said no, staying away from her was easier. Not being near her. Did Kakashi do this to test me or something?

"Let's go then" she said and was finally off my desk but she grabbed my hand to pull me. I felt myself getting warm and I quickly removed my hand from hers.

"I can walk on my own, thanks" I said kind of rudely.

"You did last night too," she said, turning towards me, trapping me between her and my desk. I sat on the corner of my desk so it didn't feel as awkward just standing here.

"Did what?" I asked her, I felt a little sweaty now. Did she really notice me pulling away from her?

"Every single time yesterday that our skin touched, you pull away from like it burns to touch me" she spoke, taking a step towards me.

"I think you're imagining things," I told her, trying to play it off. She wasn't wrong but she took another step closer, no more room was between us.

"Really?" she asked me and placed one hand on each side of my face and I knew she could feel me growing increasingly warm

"Really" I nearly whispered and she continued to look at me. What was she doing?

"So.." she whispered, moving her face closer to mine.

"You're telling me" her face was two inches away now.

"I'm imagining things?" she asked and I could feel her breath just barely ghosting my lips. I wanted to so badly just push my face forward but I was frozen. I just got back, it's been nearly six months. I wasn't going to initiate it this time, what kind of person would I be?

The same kind of person that slept with someone for revenge, the same kind of person who had been using their friend for the past two nights. The same kind of person who couldn't help themselves.

I grabbed the sides of her face on my own and pushed my lips onto her. It made the inside of me feel like fireworks were going off. Everything melted away. This was the biggest things I was trained for in life as a shinobi, controlling my emotions. I was great at it, nothing and no one could faze me. Except Hinata, it was always Hinata.

I couldn't stop kissing her, I didn't want to. I just wanted her but we were in the middle of a classroom. So I was going to see how far she would let me go while we were here. Because honestly, this was the safest place in this village right now for me to do anything.

I moved one of my hands from her face and quickly moved toward between her legs. I crept up her skirt a bit and moved my hand to the inside of her underwear. She moved her legs a bit and I knew she wanted me too.

I rubbed her clit a little bit before I pushed back a little so I could insert two fingers and when I did, she made the softest moan ever. It was even more hot considering we were sneaking around. I also knew the both of us were keeping an ear out too.

She moved one of her hands too, quickly rubbing me from the outside of my pants. It wasn't helping, none of this was.

Then from the hallway, we heard a noise and both of us immediately broke apart. We headed towards the door as we were leaving for lunch break, like nothing happened.

We got outside and made our way to the furthest corner we could find and sat against a tree with some shade.

"I've been back for two days, Hinata" I whispered to her.

"I needed to see if you still wanted me" she whispered back with some attitude and I turned towards her. All of the other teachers were elsewhere and only five students were in view.

"You're engaged" I reprimanded her.

"Do you love me?" she asked, looking me in the eyes and it took me by surprise. In no way, shape or form did I think returning here, today's events were ever going to happen again.

"Hinata, I've said this since I met you. You are the only love I'll ever need in my life. So, what do you think?" I asked her because she knew damn well deep in her heart. No matter how many times I tell her otherwise, I'm lying. Everyone knows it.

"I've been here for two days and I've already fucked up" I said, sighing and placing my head in my hand.

"I'm the one who started it, I needed to know," she said, making me look at her again.

"You have Kakashi now," I said, removing her hand from my face. We were outside now and I wasn't taking any sort of chance.

I could see the tears coming from her again and she left me alone at the tree. I didn't think she could be anymore of a confusing person but clearly, I was wrong.

..

The next day at the academy, I didn't see Hinata all day. She was avoiding me and I accepted it because after yesterday I didn't think I would see her again for a few days.

"Alright, it's lunch time guys" I said to them right as the clock turned to one o'clock. They all got up and left the classroom. Leaving me alone with my paperwork once again. And once again Iruka stopped to ask if I wanted to join him and I said no again. Maybe if I just went yesterday, I wouldn't feel like a bad person today.

Then the classroom door opened again and in came Hinata, shutting the door behind her. Well, I was obviously wrong. She didn't need a few days and she came walking over to the desk again. She was wearing nearly the same outfit, except it was dark purple and was still just as hard not to look at her.

She continued to waltz over but this time she sat in the middle of my desk, legs open slightly.

"What are you doing?" I asked her and she said nothing, she grabbed me by the shirt and pulled me into her, our faces inches apart again.

"I want you" she whispered to me and hungrily kissed me. She pushed me back a bit but continued holding onto me and then I felt a familiar feeling. She used body flicker to take us somewhere. Someplace I didn't recognize and the room was dark.

"Where are we?" I asked her, trying to figure things out. Then I realized we were on something soft, a bed? Whose room are we in?

"We're in the compound, in my old bedroom" she whispered to me and started undoing the button on my pants. My heartbeat was racing at this point.

"Don't worry. My father and Hanabi are out on clan politics meeting" she said, calming my nerves a bit and then I was snapped out of it when her hand was actually rubbing me and not threw my pants this time.

"Hinata, this really isn't a good idea" I told her she kept rubbing me.

"Why?" she asked, moving my pants out of the way some more and then I stopped her and grabbed her face.

"I'm in love with you and if we do this, it's going to make it harder for me to stay away. I don't want to cause problems" I whispered angrily to her, trying not to kiss her.

Then she ignored me and kissed me some more, straddling me some more. I couldn't stop myself anymore and I started to remove her top and I sat us in an upright position. She helped me take her shirt off and her bra was still in the way. She lifted the cups of her bra down and they just spilled out.

"Better?" she asked in a seductive voice and I grabbed them. I started to play with them and I loved every second of it. I missed her body so much. I rolled her nipples with my fingers and licked them as I went and she left out a soft moan.

I felt her moving a bit and I looked to see her trying to take her skirt off and I stopped her.

"No, leave that on" I said and moved my hand between her legs to move her underwear so she could ride me.

I pulled her into my lips once more and I kissed her harder which made her shift up a little bit and the next thing I knew I was entering her and she moaned as she slid down me.

"Fuck me" I told her and she started bouncing up and down. Then I knew, this was it, I wanted every single part of her right now.

As she bounced up and down, I grabbed her thighs as tight as I could and she threw her head back. She started riding me faster and I played with her breasts some more.

"I'm.. gonna.. C-cum" she stuttered as she started rocking her hips a little more violently. Then I had an idea and picked her up and lightly slammed her on her bed. She was sensitive as all hell right now.

I slid her underwear off and opened her legs completely. She could still orgasm and my no ones clothes would get ruined.

I inserted two of my fingers and started rubbing circles on her clit with my tongue. Her back automatically arched and I moved my hands and mouth faster. I moved my free hand to her breast to play with a bit.

Her moaning was loud and her hips buckled a little bit and she went. I moved my mouth out of the way while my hand kept going, making sure every second of this was good.

"You still need to go" she said and straddled me again. She pushed me down in the bed and slid down me, moving in the way she knew I loved. There was a certain way she could rock her hips and I would go very single time.

Which didn't take long and I pushed her off before I went, letting it come out on its own.

"We need to get back" she said giggling and sat up on the bed, which she got off of. She walked across the room and grabbed something out of a drawer. She slid them up her legs and put her breasts back in her bra and I zipped my pants up.

"You're right" I told her, agreeing we needed to get back. She walked near the bed to grab her shirt and I grabbed her by the wrist and pulled her into me. She ended up on my lap and I held her face with one hand and just admired her.

"I missed you," I said, stroking her thumb gently with my thumb and gave her a kiss.

Damn, I just kept typing this chapter. Also, this chapter is a bunch of fuckery and time skipping so I can get the Itachi ending where it needs to be. I hope you all enjoyed!
