Release me from pain

Chapter ten: Fear

Itachi woke up when he felt something warm and soft moving against his chest and arms. Slowly he opened his eyes and smiled as he noticed Hinata was still sleeping in his arms, but now she was facing him. Itachi couldn´t resist so he kissed her on the top of her nose. Hinata moved closer to his warm chest and sighed. Itachi carefully slid his arms away from her waist and sneaked out of the tent.

It was a bit chilly. The grass was a bit wet and the sun made it look like there was thousands of little diamonds on the ground.

Itachi decided to go for a small walk so he wouldn´t disturb Hinata while she slept and he wanted to get some fresh air.

He didn´t have to walk far before he noticed something interesting. He quickly and quietly turned around and walked back to the tent to wake up Hinata. He was sure she would love to see what he had just seen.

He gently shook Hinata, but she didn´t even stir.

"Hinata, wake up. You don´t want to miss this." He said to her ear and shook her a bit harder. Hinata mumbled something in her sleep but she didn´t wake up. Itachi sighed, but then he thought about something. A small smirk appeared on his face.

"Well, Sleeping Beauty, you don´t leave me any another option..." He whispered and leaned closer to Hinata´s lips.

"This is your last warning. Wake up." He said, but Hinata just laid there so Itachi pressed his lips on hers. He licked her lips and slowly Hinata started to respond his kiss, still sleeping. When Itachi tried to push his tongue inside of her mouth, Hinata opened her eyes and squealed when she realized what she was doing. Itachi looked at her and grinned.

"I thought you would never wake up." He said and grabbed her hand.

"Come, I want to show you something. Oh, and take your camera."

"W-What? Why?" Asked stunned Hinata. She was still a bit confused what had happened.

"Take your camera." Itachi said again and Hinata obeyed.

"W-Where are we-" Hinata started but Itachi silenced her by putting his finger on her lips.

"Shh, we have to be quiet so we don´t scare them." He whispered. They walked in silence.

"What is he going to show me?" Hinata wondered and didn´t notice that Itachi had stopped walking so she bumped against his back. Itachi kneeled on the ground and pulled Hinata with him.

"I-Itachi? What-" Hinata tried to ask but Itachi interrupted her.

"Shh. Look." He said gently and pointed towards a small stream. Hinata turned her head and gasped. Two deers were drinking water from the stream.

"Wow..." Was all Hinata was able to say. She grabbed her camera and took few pictures of those gorgeous animals.

"Beautiful, aren´t they?" Itachi whispered.

"Yes..." Hinata whispered back. Oh, how she wished she could go and touch one of those beautiful creatures. But she knew they would run away. Animals were scared of humans, even if you weren´t going to hurt them. Hinata was so deeply in her own thoughts that she didn´t even notice that Itachi was staring at her instead of those deers.

"My feelings are getting stronger and stronger. But I should not do my moves too quickly. After all, she just broke up with Kabuto." Itachi snapped out of his thoughts when his cell phone rang. He cursed in his mind, because the deers ran away immediately as they heard the ringing tone of his phone. Hinata jumped a bit too.

"What?" Itachi said quite angrily to his phone.

"Boss? Are you busy right now?" One of Itachi´s employees asked.

"If you want to put it mildly." Itachi growled and started walking back to the camp. "What do you want?"

"Well, we have a small problem..."

"Can´t anyone else take care of that?" Itachi interrupted. This wasn´t part of his plan. He wanted to spend nice and relaxing weekend with Hinata, without any disturbances.

"Actually, no. You are the only one-"

"Fine, fine I´ll come. Give me couple of hours and I´ll be there." Itachi said impatiently.

Hinata watched Itachi talking to his cell phone and couldn´t help but feel that same feeling like last night. Something in Itachi´s behavior made Hinata feel uncomfortable. And it was even more frustrating when she didn´t now what the feeling was.

"Maybe it´s only my imagination." She thought and looked at Itachi. He looked mad for some reason.

"A-Ano, is everything okay?" She asked timidly. Itachi sighed and turned around to look at her.

"No. I´m sorry but we have to leave. One guy from my work called and said they need my help." Hinata looked slightly disappointed but gave him a small smile.

"S-Should we start packing then?"

"I´m sorry I ruined everything. I´ll make it up for you." Itachi said apolectically.

"No, y-you didn´t ruin anything. I h-had fun with you." Hinata said and started packing their things.

As they were driving, Itachi´s phone rang again.

"What now?" He asked.

"Boss, when are you here? The situation is quite bad.."

"I told you, I´m coming."

"But I´m not sure if I can.."

"Shut up! I´m coming okay?" Said now very pissed off Itachi. Was he the only one who knew how to handle diffucult situations.

Hinata watched quietly as Itachi kept quarreling with his employee about something. Itachi looked like he could kill someone, and it only made Hinata feel even more uncomfortable.

"What is this feeling? And why do I feel like this when I´m around Itachi?" As Itachi raised his voice Hinata realized what she felt.

"No, it can´t be... But what if..?" She turned her head slightly so she could see Itachi´s face. Her eyes widened in horror.

"He... He is just like him!" Hinata thought and turned her head to look out of the window. Her hands started sweating and her mouth went dry.

"I don´t care how you do it, just try to keep things in order, okay?" Itachi said before he hung up and threw his cell phone over his shoulder to the backseat.

"Sorry about that. We have some problems in my work." Itachi explained.

"I-It´s o-okay." Hinata stuttered and tried to hide her fear, but Itachi still noticed that she had tensed up.

"Are you okay?" He asked and looked at her. Hinata jumped a bit.

"Y-Yes! I´m j-just a bit tired, t-that´s all." She said quickly. Maybe too quickly. But Itachi didn´t ask any more questions.

As soon as Itachi stopped his car, Hinata got out and grabbed her bag and said quickly 'good bye', leaving very confused Itachi behind. He didn´t have even time to say good bye before Hinata was already gone.

"I´ll call her tomorrow." He thought and drove away. Right now he had something else to do.

As Hinata got inside her apartment she locked the door. Panting she leaned her back against it. She allowed herself to slid down on the floor. She was trembling in fear.

"Itachi... He... He is acting just like Kabuto!"

And that was true. Kabuto had been as kind and gentle in the beginning as Itachi. And when Itachi had been 'talking' to his employee, she saw the same fury in his eyes as she had seen in Kabuto´s.

Hinata was sure Itachi would turn out to be as violent as Kabuto. And she would be the one who´d got hurt. And Hinata didn´t want that to happen.

"I have to stay away from him."
