Chapter 24

Blue Galaxy

The door opened and she stepped out, the hallways empty as she closed the wooden fixture. There he stood behind it, a small smirk on his face as he looked her way. Exhausted, she slammed into his chest without a second thought, breathing in the faint smell of him, sterile and fresh, lemony.

Itachi hugged her back, nuzzling his chin in her hair, stroking her back in rhythm as her grip tightened and loosened. Pulling her back a bit, he wiped the tears from her face, the cocky smirk still visible,

"What?" Hinata looked up, confused and embarrassed of how bad she must look

"I heard you might like me." his voice low and husky sending a jolt of electricity through her

"I never mentioned your name." she rebuttaled, embarrassed and quavering

"Oh?" she pulled away with a fake frown as he bent to her eye level, "Then who's the lucky guy?"

"Hidan." she blurted out without a second thought as his face fell in surprise

"Hidan?" he paused, eyes furrowing in disgust, riding on an adrenaline high, she thrilled on the idea of pushing his buttons.

"Yes, Hidan. I really miss him too." she proceeded to walk away but was swang back in place, within the confines of his arm, a teasing glint in his eyes as he took her lips, tender and firm he traced the outline of her lips with his tongue, seeking permission. A soft gasp escaped her lips but parted them without hesitation, welcoming his tongue, as they tangoed in harmony.

She stood on her tiptoes to gain a bit more height, and control, the taste of his lips driving her crazy beyond belief. Just as she was getting into it, he parted, coyly looking her in the eye, "You're not a very good liar."

"Well you shouldn't be eavesdropping on others." she teased, still hazy from the kiss

A fruity sound left his lips, his smile captivating her as her fingers fisted his shirt to pull him closer, like sweet wine, she needed to have more of him, "That was a pretty asshole move, I concur." his breath hovered above her nose, teasingly, his run his fingers along her features, tracing every curve and outline

"I should tell Ino," she teased back, breath sharp and voice seductively smoky

"Hmm," he looked to ponder, as he brushed his nose on hers, then a quick brush on her lips. "I'd rather you not." He brushed her lips teasingly again, and again

"Itachiii," she pleaded with him, and with a satisfied smile, he kissed her once more.

"Horny birds," Ino muttered under her breath from her peeping corner, a smile on her face.

"Jealous?" was the mischievous response behind her, as Sasuke wrapped his hands around her slender waist, nuzzling his chin in the crook of her neck.

"Never." and with the air of a queen, she walked away, strutting seductively, pausing to wink at him, then turning, hips expertly swaying from side to side, beckoning him to follow her.

The END!

AN: There is supposed to be about 3 more chapters that close the whole story. However, I've been racking my brain for a month now and can't seem to end with something good. This is however a good enough end point. If I come up with something better later on, I'll add it on. Until then, THANK YOU alllll for staying with me this far! I loved writing this and appreciated all your reviews and all you lurking eyes... I appreciate you too!

Until the next story ~ luv Nahina!
