I´ll try to slow down things between Hina and Ita, but I´m not sure if I can make it well.

WARNING: Many mistakes

Release me from pain

Chapter four: Thinking and drunken friends

Itachi groaned as sun hit his eyes. He tried to get back to sleep, but then he remembered he wasn´t alone. Or he thought so. He yawned and scratched the back of his head. He walked into his kitchen to make some coffee before going to check his female guest. Then he noticed a small piece of paper on his kitchen table.

I´m sorry, I just couldn´t stay. I really appreciate your concern but I can handle this myself.

Thank you for everything

Hinata

Itachi threw the paper on the table and sighed. She thought she could handle this by herself? Like Itachi would believe that. He had seen those bruises and that was a certain proof she couldn´t handle this alone.

"Stupid girl. Stupid, stupid. Well, if she doesn´t want my help, then fine. It´s not my problem."

Itachi drank his coffee and decided to take a walk to clear his head.

Hinata was walking down the streets, thinking about last night.

"Why did I let him to see those bruises? Sigh, I really don´t want anyone to worry about me. I can handle this myself. I hope." But she knew very well she couldn´t. Hinata rubbed her forehead and sighed.

"Maybe I should have accepeted his help.. No, no that´s a bad idea. I don´t want to involve him. This is my problem, I have to solve this by myself. And I barely know him!" Hinata´s thoughts were interrupted when a black car stopped beside her. The window opened and Hinata saw her dear boyfriend, Kabuto.

"Get in." He ordered coldly. Hinata´s face went pale but then she obediently climbed in to his car and he drove away.

There was an awkward silence, but soon Kabuto broke it.

"Where did you go last night? I didn´t find you anywhere."

"U-Um.. I-I g-got t-tired s-so I l-left.." Hinata replied quietly and kept her eyes on her hands.

"You left alone, right?" Kabuto asked as he stopped his car.

"W-What d-do you m-mean?" Hinata asked timidly.

"Did you have any male company?" Kabuto raised his voice lightly and turned to look Hinata.

"N-No! W-What m-makes y-you t-think t-t-that?" Hinata felt bad for lying to him, but she couldn´t tell him she had been with Itachi, and he had seen her in her underwear and she had slept in his apartment.

"I just wanted to know. If I ever find you with another male, you´ll get hurt. You are mine. Got it?" Kabuto said with dangerous tone. Hinata gulped and nodded. She didn´t understand why he was so possessive.

"Now get out. I have some things to do." Hinata did as she was told. She allowed her tears fall down her face when Kabuto was gone. Why did he had to change? Did she do something wrong? Why, oh why it had to be like this?

Hinata didn´t feel like going back home so she decided to keep walking, though it looked like it would be raining soon. She really didn´t care.

She didn´t know how long she had been walking and soon she found herself from the bridge, looking down in to the dark river.

"Oh how easy it would be just jump and end this pathetic life..." Hinata thought sadly. It was raining really hard and Hinata was soaking wet.

She watched as the water fell down from the sky. It looked so sad, but at the same time it was beautiful. Hinata shivered from cold and started walking back to her apartment.

"Maybe I should ask his help..."

Itachi had no idea how he had ended up in the bar. There he was, drinking beer with his friends, Deidara and Sasori.

"So Itachi, what new with women? Do you have a new bed partner already?" Sasori asked and grinned.

"Oh right! I´m sure you are over Kin, yeah!" Deidara added and ordered more beer.

"Yeah, I´m over her already, and no, nothing new with women." Itachi said.

"What?! No new woman? Geez, don´t tell me that you haven´t had sex in three months, yeah!" Deidara asked, his eyes full of amazement. Itachi glared him. Yes, it was true, he hadn´t had sex almost in three months.

"Seems like we have a mission tonight. We have to find a woman to you, Itachi!" Sasori said and laughed so much, he almost fell down from the chair.

"Hell yeah!" Deidara cheered and he actually fell from the chair.

"If I actually needed help with women, do you really think I´d ask help from you two?" Itachi said and smirked to their dumbfounded faces.

"And what the hell was that supposed to mean?! For your information, Itachi, I have sex almost every weekend!" Deidara screamed at Itachi´s face.

"I never knew you liked to screw that old hag from your neighbor that much." Itachi said calmly and his smirk widened when he saw Deidara´s angry face. Sasori laughed to Itachi´s statement.

"It was an accident! I have no idea how she ended in my bed! And I swear I didn´t sleep with her on purpose! And it was your fault! You forced me to drink so many beers I almost lost my consciousness, yeah!" Deidara yelled furiously and tried to hit Sasori who was still laughing.

"Calm down Deidara, there is nothing bad if you like older women." Itachi laughed and dodged a punch coming from Deidara.

"Yeah, exactly, older womenbutnot ancient!" Sasori added and laughed so hard it was almost impossible to breathe.

"Oh shut up! Besides she had soft hands, yeah..." Deidara muttered, only making his friends laugh more.

"But seriously, Itachi it´s not healthy for a man at your age not to get laid at least once in a month. You really need to find a new woman... Or a man, if you want, yeah..." Deidara muttered the last part so only Sasori should have heard, but too bad for him, Itachi heard him too.

"I heard that, Deidara, and I´m sorry, but I have to admit I don´t feel that way towards you." Itachi shot back and Deidara dropped his beer bottle.

"IM NOT GAY, YEAH!" Deidara shouted and slammed his fist on the table. All the people in the bar turned to look at him.

"WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU LOOKING AT, YEAH?!" He shouted to them.

"So Itachi, do you want a one night stand, or a serious relationship?" Sasori asked and glanced around the bar, looking for some good-looking chicks.

"I said I don´t need your help. Actually, I have one woman in my mind, but unfortunately, she´s taken." Itachi answered and gulped down the rest of his beer.

"So are you going to just give up?"

"No. I just have to get rid of her abusive boyfriend."

"Abusive? What do you mean, yeah?" Deidara asked and ordered another beer for Itachi.

"That son of a bitch doesn´t respect her and yesterday I saw how bad the situation was. She had bruises and wounds all over her body." Itachi explained

"Then let´s go and kill that bastard, yeah!" Deidara shouted and winked to one brown haired chick who shot a death glare to him.

"That´s exactly what I want to do, but she won´t accept my help. She thinks she can handle this by herself."

"If I were you, I wouldn´t care what she says. You should not leave her in the hands of that bastard. Go save her, be her knight in a shining armor!" Sasori said and slapped Itachi on his back.

"Maybe I will. But I´ll get going now." Itachi said and grabbed his jacket.

"What? Why? The night is young and you only drank four beers, yeah!" Deidara tried to protest.

"I´m leaving because I don´t want to watch you getting turned down by all those women in this bar and I definitely don´t want to listen to your pleading when you try to get to their pants" Itachi chuckled and left shocked Deidara and laughing Sasori.

As Itachi got back his apartment, he went straight to his bedroom and collapsed onto his bed. To his suprise, his pillow smelled like lavenders.

"She only spent on night here, and her scent is already on my pillow." Itachi thought and took deep breath, enjoying the wonderful scent.

"That´s it. I won´t let her go through of this alone." Was his last thoughts before he fell asleep.

AN: Man, my throat is sore... I screamed a lot last night.. (Don´t get any perverted ideas!) We had another snowball fight and my cousin put snow under my shirt, and what else I could do than scream and swear? Woohoo, Deidara and Sasori got drunk... Hmm, it seems like many people want to kill Kabuto...Wonder why?

...I don´t know why it´s over...
