Here's another chapter! I think I'm going to end this fiction within a few chapters..

Another Failed Mission.

They were in the bath for some while now, and Hinata was getting sleepy from the steam.

"Do you still want to leave?" Itachi asked out of nothing, bringing Hianta slighty back to the world, but she still wasn't able to think clearly.

"Hm?" Not sure if she heard him correctly.

"You heard me.." Itachi said, bringing Hinata fully back to the world again.

"Why are you asking me that?" She asked him, slighty shocked that he actually wondered what HER will was.

"Just answer." Itachi whispered, as Hinata turned her head to look at him.

He didn't had his sharingan on, but it was rare for him to do anyway with her around.

"Yes." She answered honestly, and the cold look on Itachi face increased, if that was possible.

"I see." He stepped out of the bath, ignoring Hinata's confused look.

"your friends are still here.. You still want to see them?" This time he did turned to Hinata, who was starting to think Itachi would let her leave.

"Yes!" She said, suppressing her excitement.

"Then you can see them for the last time today." He stated, grabbing another towel and walking out of the room.

".." She didn't knew what to answer. Itachi had finally given her something to look out to, and he destroyed it like that.

--

Outside the room...

--

.. That I even considered that! Itachi couldn't understand his own thoughts and feelings anylonger.

If I get rid of those brats.. And I just keep Hinata for myself, my old life will get back soon enough..

He smirked, finally able to get his own plans trough again.

Behind him, a door opened and Hinata stepped in, her clothes on again.

"Itachi.. Can I get other clothes?" she asked him, still angry about what he had just done, but she was already wearing those clothes for a long time.

Itachi turned to her. I guess I have to take care of her now some more.. Itachi smiled at her, totally catching Hinata off guard and she took a few steps back, thinking that Itachi was going to attack her.

"Sure. We'll go to the town tonight." He turned away from her, and a smirk replaced the smile. After I'm done.. With my things.. Satified with getting his ability back to control himself, he walked out of the room after getting dressed up again, leaving Hinata to herself again.

"Let's go already!!" Sasuke was getting irritated now. Itachi had been there for some time now, and they were just wasting time!

"Yeah yeah." Kiba was getting irritated by Sasuke's behaviour.

But before they could make a move to go to Itachi, they all heard a deep voice chuckle.

Without seeing the face, both Sasuke and Shino knew who it was. Kiba and Kurenai had no idea though.

In front of them, two red eyes were glowing.

"It's been a long time.. Sasuke." His brother greeted him.

"Itachi..." Sasuke whispered back, not taking the trouble of greeting his older brother in a proper way.

Out of the shadows, Itachi appeared.

"I won't kill any of you if you leave now." Itachi said, but not directly at Sasuke.

Even if he wasn't going to leave, he wouldn't kill Sasuke anyway. He had his mission to accomplish. It wasn't his time yet..

"We will leave the moment you return both Hinata and Neji." Shino said.

"So she told you about the byakugan boy?" he simply answered, acting as if he didn't heard the first part.

"That's right!! Return Neji at once!!" Kiba yelled.

Itachi merely smirked at them, but they didn't even had the chance to be suprised, except for Sasuke, and Kurenai was able to block his attack.

Sasuke narrowed his eyes.

"Kurenai. Go get Hinata." Sasuke said, his voice low and dark.

"Yes." Kurenai didn't had time to consider if it was safe to let Sasuke alone like that. He had to go get both Hinata and Neji now.

"I won't let you take her, even if you do succeed in getting her out of the room." He answered, but he didn't bothered to stop Kurenai. He's main problem was the hate of Sasuke. He had to let it grow some more, in order to make Sasuke stronger. They wouldn't be able to get Hinata very far anyway.

"Sasuke. Did you succeeded in getting the-" The wasn't able to finish his question, which irritated him like hell, because of Sasuke who was already attacking him.

Itachi narrowed his eyes.

"So you haven't got him yet? Then you're useless at the moment." He snapped at him, making Sasuke slighty flinch at his attack but he didn't stop with running towards Itachi.

Itachi activated the mangekyou sharingan, showing Sasuke one more time what he was suppose to kill Itachi for.

Sasuke screamed out in fear, pain, and all of his hidden feelings, before dropping limply on the grass, just before his brother. He wasn't unconsious yet, and Itachi knew it.

He bend down to grasp Sasuke onto his shirt and pulled him onto his feet, but without Itachi's support , Sasuke wasn't able to stand on his own feet.

"Sasuke.." He whispered in his ear, making the younger version of his shiver from the warmth in his ear.

"Hinata.." Kurenai whispered, afraid that she would get unwanted visitors.

".. Ku..Kurenai-sensei?" Hinata whispered back, as Kurenai heard someone moving closer to the door.

"The door is open." She told her, but before she told her, but before Kurenai got the chance to open the door herself, Hinata pushed the door open herself and jumped right into Kurenai's arms.

She was overjoyed to finally be able to touch someone who was female like herself.

"H.. Hinata? What did he do to you?" Kurenai was afraid that had taken away her virginity, but seeing Hinata's face, she was getting more sure that Itachi didn't.

"We need to get Neji out of here.. Or he'll die soon.." Hinata said, tears filling her beautifull eyes.

"Yes.. Do you know where he is?" Kurenai asked him, but Hinata didn't even got the chance to answer, as someone else was already answering her.

"He's somewhere down in the lab.. You need him?" A voice from the dark asked her, and when the talker got out the dark again, Hinata's eyes widenend.

"Leader?" She whispered, but hard enough for everyone to hear.

"You're so cute when you recognise someone you're afraid for, Itachi's pet.." He didn't even bothered to refer her to her real name. To him, he wasn't worthy enough for such things.

Her eyes getting determination back, she stood in front of Kurenai, as if she was able to protect her.

He merely chuckled at her.

"Relax. We'll return the kid. We don't him any longer, but he isn't in very good state.. So you might want to hurry with a docter." He pulled out the boy, who was covered in blood, and ofcourse unconsious.

"Neji!" Both the girl yelled as the leader held him up in good light.

"you want him back? Leave the girl here and leave right away. I don't care if Itachi kills you on the way out, but I don't want to get an angry Itachi around because the girl was able to get in sunlight without his permission." He chuckled as he got closer, and without any warning he pushed Hinata back into the room, and pushed the bloody Neji in Kurenai's arms.

"Just leave." Hinata said, her eyes darkening, but only the leader saw the small tear glowing as it was making her cheeks more wet.

Kurenai looked at her for a second before noddening. Don't worry Hinata.. We'll return for you.

She glared at the leader, who just steppe aside and let her leave.

"One bother out of the way." He said, to give her an extra kick in the back, since she actually left Hinata behind.

She turned around and she wanted to attack her, but when hearing Neji slighty scream in pain as she was not being carefull with him any longer, she turned around again and left back to where the rest of the team was.

The leader turned towards Hinata, smirked at her as he closed and locked the door.

"What.. Bastard.." Sasuke could bring out, but still fully relying on Itachi's support, and they both knew it.

"The next time we meet, be sure to have the Mangekyou Sharingan.. You're no fight without. If you don't have it, don't bother to come looking for me." He whispered, wrapping an arm around his waist as he carried him towards a tree and placed him against his. He stared at the younger one for a little while before standing up.

"I see you got the boy back." Itachi smirked, suprising Sasuke.

"Yes.." A female voice whispered back, sort of letting Sasuke know Itachi wasn't talking to him anylonger.

"Don't come back for Hinata. I'll kill her soon enough, so don't bother."

What he had just stated was a lie, and everyone who had seen their time together would know that, but it was a part of his plan.

"You're.. Why?! Hinata is trusting you!" She yelled out, fearing safety even more then she did a few moments ago.

"Because you guys won't leave me alone because of her.." He just said, closing his eyes as he disappeared.

Kurenai gritted her teeth. .. I promised her..
