YAY!!! Chappie 6! Thank you, Neji's fangirl and Gwenivear Greenleaf for your reviews. I will try not to end so suddenly anymore. This chapter pretty hard to finish (notice it has been a full week! . ) I got a serious writers block and tons of hw. Anyway, enjoy!

Disclaimer: I don't own naruto, it's #1 in my list of world domination, but that's for 10 years later when I graduate John Hopkins and get an MD.

And I didn't intentionally make Neji snobby and mean, my hand has a life of its own!

POVS

-----------------------------

"W..what?!"

I was dumbstruck, all that had happened. And I didn't know?! I recalled how Hinata was this morning. In fact, she seemed just fine. Well, maybe a bit tired and skinnier than usual, but I usually overlook those kinds of things.

"W..when d..did that h..happen?"

D----! Now I sounded like Hinata! Not that it was a bad thing, but Neji didn't look too happy.

"The question is, Kiba, where were you?"

"I was on a mission, Neji-sama. You should know these things, after all, you are the leader of the ANBU."

Neji just stared at me with those cold, emotionless eyes. Although he and Hinata were cousins, it was hard to believe that they were. Her eyes seemed so warm and joyful, while his eyes were unforgiving and cold.

"Er..um (A/N: Once again, I ask, WHAT'S W/ THE ER..UM..?). I'm sorry sir, I will not speak out of my station again."

There I go again, Kiba the living broken recorder. Sir this, sir that. It couldn't be helped, he was my superior and he was pretty scary.

"NEJI-KUN!!!"

TenTen charged into the lobby, and almost ran me over to get to Neji.

"I came over as soon as I found out, what happened? Did Hinata relapse? And yes, Ren is over at Ino's."

Neji looked at his defiant wife and sighed again.

"Yes, she has overdone herself. It's not Kiba's fault, he didn't know (so don't beat him up . )."

TenTen turned around. She looked at me like it was a complete surprise to see me here.

"Kiba? Since when where you here?"

everyone falls over anime style

"I was here in the first place!"

D! It was so hard to control my temper! That woman didn't even notice me! ARGH…well, if I even look like I'll hurt his wife, Neji will have it in for me for sure. Best get my temper under control. FUME FUME FUME

---------------------------

Meanwhile, as Kiba was trying to keep his temper under mild control, TenTen turned and looked at her husband.

"Is…Kiba…alright? He looks red in the face…"

"I..i'm alright..just trying to control MY TEMPER!!!" RAWR

"Kiba, I'm warning you, one move towards my TenTen and you will regret it."

"Oh, Neji! I don't need anyone to protect me! I may be already 8 months, but I can still beat people up!"

"TenTen, it's not safe—"

"You worry-wart! I'll be fine, don't treat me like a little child!"

Neji seemed taken aback at this comment. I was amused, it seemed like Konoha's women were getting tougher. If they could scare Neji, then they could scare anyone. He noticed my amusement and immediately pulled himself back together.

"Ah…er..she's still very moody, it's a boy, because when she had Ren, she was still her old self. N..not to say tha—"

"CHA!!!"

It seemed like TenTen had totally gone berserk. As I watched her chase Neji all over the lobby, I sat down and started to think back to my first date with Hinata…

flashback

It was a warm, spring day filled with cherry blossoms. The day was also filled with sadness because Naruto was leaving. We all thought that he would never come back, Hinata especially. Although it was painfully obvious, that knucklehead never noticed Hinata's crush on him She looked like she was about to faint, the poor thing. She stumbled into the woods to our training area. I was worried that she would get lost, so I grabbed Akamaru and followed her in the trees above. She must've been really upset since she didn't notice that I was above her all the way. When she slumped down next to a log, I dropped down next to her. The leaves rustled beneath my feet and I was worried that she could here me! I was so loud, but she seemed to be trapped in her own world. I sighed quietly this time and crouched down next to her. After an hour, my legs were getting stiff fell asleep. I tried to stand up, but my feet slipped out from under me and I put my hand down to stop my fall. Oops, bad move. I made a large sound and my hand was sticking out from behind the log. I stuck my head out quickly to make it look like I had meant to do that.

"Er…Hinata..?"

"….."

She wasn't answering, I decided that I couldn't get in any more trouble than I already was in, so I shook her shoulder.

"Hinata?"

Her eyes snapped open and she quickly activated the byakougan (A/N: Sorry if it's spelled wrong..XD) as she surveyed the area around her. My heart rate quickened, it was terrifying, those suddenly emotionless eyes with bulging veins on both sides. I tried to maintain a calm voice as I said:

"Hinata?"

She turned around—

"AAAHHHH!!!!!"

A sharp voice that sounded distinctly like Hinata's pierced the hospital air.

-----------------------------------

Augh. That idiot. He hasn't changed one bit over these few years. Uchiha Sasuke looked out the window in his hospital room. Blackbirds flew over to his window while making a distinctly chidori-like sound. A fist shot through the window and black feathers rained down. As Sasuke grasped the black feathers in his hand, he glared at the fleeing blackbirds.

The sky was blue and sunshine poured out over the cerulean sky. Hmph. I hate days like this, it reminds me too much of that day… He stared out the window at a group of academy students playing along the rooftops. They looked in his direction and ran away, suddenly feeling an unfriendly presence, staring, watching…

It's always been like that…ever since I came back…there's nothing left for me in Konoha…I don't belong anymore…

His expression changed to that of immense sadness. It was true, there was nothing left. No one in Konoha cared about him, loved him and he, in turn didn't either. His family was gone, murdered by his bastard brother…I know the real reason Naruto brought me back…to make fun of me…to make me suffer…all he ever cares about is that Keiko person…He had gotten his revenger, Itachi was dead and gone, but now….what else was there to do? Why should he go on living? Itachi had been his reason, his excuse for existing on the earth…but now the excuse had gotten old…

flashback

It was a nice, sunny day in the rugged, blood-stained canyon where 4 ninja were battling. Sasuke had finally found Itachi, or rather…Itachi had found him. Orochimaru was no match for the Uchiha prodigy or the shark-man, Kisame. But he had managed to kill him with a suicide justu.. Kabuto, who had died early on, was lying in a pool of red blood, pinned to the rock wall with a dozen kunai and shuriken.

"Sasuke….my my…you have improved….I see…."

Itachi grunted as he caught 3 kunai on his leg. Sasuke smirked with confidence and settled into position to launch another Chidori.

"Yes…I have…now….YOU WILL DIE!!!"

Itachi grinned evilly and pulled the kunai out of his flesh and licked them clean. He activated his Mangekyo and beckoned for Sasuke to look into his eye.

"Sasuke….I'm afraid you might be..mistaken there..dear brother…"

Sasuke ignored his glare and winced inwardly at the sight of his brother licking his own blood. He concentrate he chakra on his hand and blue electricity started to surround his fingers.

"Get ready….Itachi….for you won't live…to see the next day.."

"Oh..? Really…then try me, dear brother…"

Sasuke growled, "dear brother"? There was nothing "dear" about this….without warning, he flung himself at Itachi at a speed unimaginable, and pressed his crackling hand into Itachi's blood-splattered chest. Itachi smirked and disappeared, leaving a log behind. Sasuke found a kunai pressing itself against his neck and slicing inwardly….slowly….

"I've got you now…..you won't live after this…dear brother…"

"Well, I've got news for you, cause I'm not quite finished yet!"

The Sasuke clone disappeared and Sasuke reappeared, plunging his blood-stained sword into Itachi's vital organs. Blood spurted out from Itachi's stomach, and Sasuke pushed the sword all the way through…and grabbed the hilt out from the other end.

"So…this is the end..huh? Well well, dear brother….it seems….that you….not I…have won…"

Itachi stood, doubled over a gaping hole in his stomach, surrounded by his own blood. Sasuke stood up, out of breath. His chakra was almost depleted and he couldn't afford to waste anymore.

"Now do you see…Itachi..? I….. have.finally avenged…my.family…."

"That is true, dear brother….but what will you do now that I…am dead..?"

Sasuke's eyes widened, he had never thought about that. All his life, he had been training, just so he could get revenge, but now….Itachi would be dead…NO! He wouldn't allow himself to think that. All could be solved, as soon as he was gone. That was his sole purpose. KILL. ITACHI.

"That may be true Itachi, but you'll never get to see! NOW. DIE!!!!!"

Sasuke conjured up the chidori once more and plunged it into Itachi's chest. Itachi's body exploded and blood rained down over the whole canyon. Sasuke stood admist the blood, tears welling up and mingling with the bloody rain…his revenge…complete…
