Disclaimer: I do not own Naruto and if you want to own it talk to Masashi Kishimoto.

Author's Note: Hey everyone! Talapadme here. I just wanted to say that I greatly apologize. It has been officially one year since I last updated this story and I really feel bad about the wait. I had writer's block for two months and then I switched schools so things were a little bit hectic around my house. Anyways, gomen nasai and I hope you enjoy my new chapter. I do have the next one written and I will update it soon if I get some positive feedback.

Oh and one more thing. I found out that Kasumi, the blue haired Akatsuki member, is named Konan and that will be an amendment in here from now on. Sorry about the confusion.

Enjoy!

Chapter Six: Explosions

"BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!" Hinata heard a sound like a cannon being fired off. Her eyes flew open with a jolt at this realization, but she found herself trapped as she attempted to sit up. Groaning slightly, she tried to push the trapping thing off of her but found it impossible as she was trapped by nothing other than Itachi Uchiha's very rock solid arm. Just as she was about to fire off some chakra, she heard a familiar velvet voice say…

"Good morning, Angel." Itachi's voice magnified overtop of all the noise from the hallway.

"I take it that this is what you meant yesterday when you said that you wished that Deidara slept in later." Glancing at the clock, she saw that it was only four thirty in the morning. Giving an internal sigh, she lifted Itachi's arm off of her and then went out in the hallway. Itachi's brow rose slightly as he heard the sound of a scuffle, and then, Hinata reappeared, smiling brightly.

"Did I miss something?" the Uchiha asked.

"Why don't you go see if you missed anything while I go into the bathroom and get ready?" Hinata suggested as she grabbed her black clothes and two senbon needles to pin her hair up with and ventured into the bathroom.

While she was getting into the shower, Itachi was in the hallway. As usual, this part of the lair was very much coated in clay bits. However, what was unusual was the explosives master in the middle of his clay mess laying flat on his back staring at the ceiling. Deidara, hearing Itachi's footsteps, sat up, wincing as he did so.

"Well, Itachi-san, I'll give you one thing. You sure picked one hell of a girl to fall in love with," the blonde said, grinning.

"Hn," Itachi said, turning on his heel and leaving Deidara to pass out in the middle of the floor.

As Hinata reentered the bedroom, she was met with Itachi making the bed and two scrolls sitting on the silver dresser. One scroll bore the sign of the yin-yang and the other bore the Uchiha fan.

"Itachi?"

"Hn." He nodded to show he was listening.

"We have scrolls," Hinata said, motioning to the two scrolls on the dresser.

"Ah, I saw those appear a few minutes ago, but I wanted to wait for you until I opened mine, since I have a feeling they are about the same thing," he murmured.

"New mission?" He nodded. "Then, here." She tossed the scroll with the fan seal on it to him. Then picking up the other one she broke the wax seal with her thumb and read:

Hinata-

I want you to come to my room at seven o'clock this evening and bring everything you would need for a mission (medicines, spare clothes, etc.). I will explain everything then. Burn this when you finish reading it.

Sincerely,

Pein, Akatsuki Leader

Quickly, Hinata rolled up the scroll and handed it to Itachi, who nodded and immediately set fire to both scrolls reducing them to ashes.

"You have a mission as well, I take it?" Itachi asked as he watched her pull out a small bag and begin filling it with cloth to wrap herbs.

"Yes and you as well?"

"Hai," he answered, smoothing out the bedcovers.

"After I finish this, do you think you might spar with me?"

"Hn."

"I'll take that as a yes then?"

"Hn," he said, this time with a nod.

Turning around for the door, she muttered, "Monosyllabic Uchiha."

"Come again? I didn't quite catch that," Itachi growled, right behind her where there had been air a second ago.

"It was nothing," Hinata squeaked.

"Oh, it was something, Angel, and you know it," he hissed in her ear, making her gulp and turn a shade of red that would make a rose proud.

"I…I said, 'Monosyllabic Uchiha.'" She sounded so much like a mouse that Itachi had to bite back a laugh, deciding to nip her neck instead.

"Hn."

"See!" She seemed so exasperated with him that he decided to try to make it better.

"Oh, you know you like it," he murmured seductively against her neck, kissing it fiercely. She whimpered softly and that turned him on even more. (A/N: This is going to stay PG-13 above the belt. There will be no true sexual scenes in this fic. This is the extent of my permission anyway. So this will be T ONLY NO M, you have my word.) Deftly, he slid the bag out of her loose grip and dropped it to the floor. Then, trailing his fingers up to the top of her bun, he pulled out the senbon needles holding her hair up letting those hit the floor as well. Cupping her face in one hand, his other went to her waist as she stared up at him with her eyes slightly glazed over. Itachi didn't think that he could have loved her any more than he did at that very moment when all his defenses were down. Then, without giving it another conscious thought, he rammed his lips against hers. She was so shocked that for a moment, she didn't move. Suddenly, though, she was eagerly responding in kind, wrapping her arms around his neck.

Unexpectedly, Itachi ran his tongue against her lips, and she obliged giving him permission to deepen the kiss. As Hinata was occupied with the feel of his mouth on hers, Itachi had gracefully moved them both over to the bed, where he proceeded to knock her backwards onto it with himself on top, locking her legs firmly in place.

Finally, panting, they pulled apart and Itachi busied himself by trailing kisses down her neck while her hands explored his toned marble form under his shirt. Moving himself again to her lips, he captured them in a rough kiss that left her lips completely bruised.

"I-Itachi…s-stop," Hinata moaned between kisses. "We h-have to…get…r-ready…for our missions." Her voice struck a chord inside him, making him moan internally.

"But, Hinata, my angel, you are so beautiful." His tone was full of desire.

"Just wait until we're married, then you can have me all you want. It's only a few months away." Her voice conveyed the same emotions only underneath them she was practical and calm.

"I don't think I can wait that long, Angel. But if you want to wait, then so will I."

"Thank you, Itachi." She leaned up and kissed the tip of his nose. "Now let me up. I've got some more work to do before I have to see Leader-sama tonight."

"Hn," Itachi grumbled moving off her legs and allowing Hinata to push herself up off the bed.

Re-pinning her hair with the senbon and grabbing her bag, she asked, "Are we still on for sparring once I finish with my plants?"

"Hai, just meet me here when you're done."

"Alright."

"Aishiteru, Angel." He handed her bag back to her off the floor.

"How do I look?"

"Like the sun. Now go get your medicines, so we can spar."

"Arigato, Itachi-kun." Then with a final peck on the cheek, Hinata left for the greenhouse.

As she was heading down the hall, Hinata heard crunching noises coming from Zetsu's room and a moment later the plant man himself appeared munching on a very large orange carrot.

"Ah, Hinata-hime, so good to see you again." The relish and softness of his tone was quaint and polite, and Hinata could see that only the white side of his face was moving. She bowed politely in return, continuing down the hall toward the greenhouse. Zetsu saw her destination and slowly glided up next to her.

"I take it that you have a mission?"

"Hai, that is correct."

"Do mind company while you gather supplies?"

"Not at all, but Zetsu-san…"

"Hai?"

"If I may be so bold as to ask, why are you chewing on a carrot? I thought you only ate people." Her face was confused and to her surprise, he laughed.

"You really thought that I ate people all the time?"

"Well, don't you?"

He looked indignant. "Of course not! It would be like eating steak all the time, disgusting." He made a face, then the black side spoke, "It draws too much attention for there to be killings all the time around this area."

"Ah."

"Do you understand now, Hinata-hime?" White Zetsu asked.

"Hai!" She said, opening the greenhouse door.

"Now what may I do to assist you?"

"Well, you can always water the plants for me.'

"I can do that!" Then with an affirming nod, he set to work.

Hinata began picking small quantities of herbs packing moily for pain and aloe for healing. Picking up a jar and her mortar and pestle, Hinata walked over to a narrow table and placing the aloe in the mortar, she began grinding the two herbs together into a paste, adding chakra into it for an extra boost.

"You do excellent work, hime," White Zetsu murmured looking over her shoulder as she emptied the now pale pinkish green bowl into a small jar and seal the lid with chakra.

"Arigato, Zetsu-san for all your help as well as the compliment," Hinata said, sliding a roll of bandages into her bag and heading for the door.

"You are very welcome, Hinata," both sides answered.

"Oh, and Zetsu-san, will you take care of my plants while I'm away?"

"Of course." Then with a final nod of gratitude, Hinata headed back to her and Itachi's room.

Slipping through the door, Hinata looked around and found…ITACHI ASLEEP!

An evil idea suddenly manifested itself into her mind, and she headed back down the hall until she reached the neon yellow door.

Knocking softly, she said, "Deidara-kun? Are you in there?"

"Ah," the blonde pyro opened the door. "Hina-chan, what can I do for you, yeah?" Hinata whispered her idea into his ear, and his eyes widened.

"Are you sure you want me to do that? He'll be out for blood." She nodded that evil smile still on her face. Noting the gleam in her eyes, Deidara couldn't help but grin. "Yeah! I am totally in, yeah!" He started running down the hallway.

Hinata sweat dropped, "Deidara-kun, Itachi-kun's room is that way."

He stopped and did a quick pivot. "I knew that! I was just testing you, Hina-chan, yeah!" With his speech out of the way, he silently ran the rest of the way to the sleeping Sharingan Master's room.
