Chapter eleven: Just a misunderstanding

Two weeks. It had been two whole weeks since Itachi last time saw Hinata. He had been extremely busy with his work and it was slowly driving him crazy. The fact that he hadn´t even heard Hinata´s voice was making him even more crazy. He had tried to call her, many times actually, but for some reason she never answered.

"That´s it. I have to see her." Itachi decided and dialed her number. He was going to ask if she was at home so he could pay a visit.

"Come on, answer..." Itachi thought and started to get impatient. He cursed when she didn´t answer.

"I´ll just go and check if she is at home."

Itachi knocked once. Then he knocked again. And again. He was about to knock the fourth time, but then he heard Hinata´s voice from her apartment.

"I´m coming! Just a sec!"

"Now this is going somewhere." Itachi thought as Hinata opened the door. Itachi got confused when Hinata gasped as she saw him and in her eyes he saw... fear? And did she just take a step back?

"I-I-Itachi-san! W-What a-a-are y-y-ou d-doing h-here?" Why was she so nervous? And why did she stutter so much?

"I wanted to see you. Why didn´t you answer when I called to you?" Itachi asked and noticed that Hinata was shaking a little bit. What the hell was going on? Why was she acting like this?

"I.. A-Ano..." She didn´t know what to say. What if Itachi got mad and would hit her? She started shaking even more. Itachi noticed this and stepped closer, attempting to touch her. He frowned when she took another step back.

"Hinata, what´s wrong?" He asked gently. Hinata didn´t look at him when she answered.

"W-Well... I-I..." She whispered. Itachi waited for her to continue but when she didn´t he opened his mouth to speak.

"Are you... afraid of me?" He asked and was shocked when Hinata gave a small nod, her eyes still looking on the ground.

"Why?" He questioned. Had he done something to scare her? If so, then what?

"B-Because..." Hinata gulped and took a deep breathe. Oh no, could she tell him that he was acting like Kabuto? Hinata knew she had to, there was no other way to get out of that situation. And it was her own fault. She had been stupid enough to trust Itachi.

"Because?" Itachi asked, waiting impatiently for an explanation.

"B-Because y-you a-are a-acting j-j-just l-like K-K-Kabuto!" She whispered and then she collapsed on her knees, sobbing silently. She buried her face in her hands, waiting for Itachi to say or do something. Now Itachi was confused. Was she crazy? He hadn´t done anything to harm her!

"Hinata what do you mean?" He asked and walked to her. He kneeled on the floor and put his hand on her shoulder.

"I-In t-the b-beginning, w-when w-we, K-Kabuto and I, s-started d-dating, h-he w-was j-just as n-nice as y-you..." She whispered so quietly that it was almost impossible to hear, but Itachi was still able to catch every word.

"Does she think that I will turn to be same kind of monster as Kabuto?! That bastard... He made much more damage than I thougth... He almost compeletely destroyed her trust to other men." Itachi thought angrily. Then he pulled the shaking woman in his arms, embracin her tightly. Hinata tensed up for a moment.

"Do you think I would hit you?" He asked and stroked her hair, trying to calm her down. He felt her nod her head again, making Itachi to tighten his arms around Hinata´s small body. He didn´t want her to be afraid of him. He wanted that she´d feel safe when she was with him.

Itachi pulled away a little and lifted Hinata´s chin with his hand. He looked deeply into her eyes which were full of tears. He had to play his cards right, so he wouldn´t upset Hinata even more.

"Hinata. I promise you that I will never hit you. I would never hit you, no matter what. Why do you think I helped you to get rid of Kabuto?" Itachi said and wiped Hinata´s wet cheeks with his thumb. Now Hinata´s eyes showed relief and a bit of shame. She looked away from him and whispered.

"I´m s-sorry... I d-don´t k-know w-why-" Hinata started to apologize for her stupid actions, but Itachi silenced her by placing his finger on her lips.

"It´s okay. You had all rights to be scared. But I promise you that I won´t let anyone to hurt you." He embraced Hinata again and allowed her to cry against his shoulder.

Hinata had never been so relieved as she was now. It was like a huge weight just disappeared from her shoulders. She had been scared as hell, when Itachi appeared to her doorstep. She thought he would be mad at her because she hadn´t answered to his phone calls.

But no she felt safe, in his warm embrace. She knew she could trust him and he was nothing like Kabuto. Hinata had been extremely stupid when she even thought about that.

Itachi noticed that Hinata had stopped crying already. He stood up, pulling Hinata with him.

"What would you like to do? I haven´t spent time with you in two weeks and I think now is the time to take back that time we lost." Itachi said smirking. Hinata giggled a bit.

"C-Could we maybe s-stay here? B-Before you c-came, I was s-starting to cook dinner..." Hinata answered shyly.

"Dinner sounds great. And now when you´ll make it, I bet it will be fantastic." Itachi said and kissed Hinata´s cheek, making her blush. Hinata led Itachi to her kitchen and he sat on the chair, his eyes never leaving Hinata.

Hinata´s every move was so graceful and as she worked she had a small smile on her lips. Itachi frowned sligtly when the doorbell rang.

"Who could that be?" Hinata thought out loud and was about to go to open the door, but Itachi was faster than her.

"I´ll go" He said and walked to the door. He frowned even more when he saw a black haired man with thick eyebrowns standing behind the door.

"Who are you?" He asked rudely. He didn´t like the idea that some other man was trying to get in Hinata´s apartment.

"Let me introduce myself, sir! I´m Rock Lee, and I´m here to meet the lovely cousin of Hyuuga Neji!" The man said and put his thumbs up, grinning like a maniac. Itachi stared at him like he was crazy or something.

"Lee-san! What brings you here?" Said Hinata, who was standing now next to Itachi.

"She didn´t stutter. Which means, this guy must be very close to her." Itachi thought and felt slightly jealous, but he hide his feelings.

"Hinata-san! Your youthful beauty is always a sight for a sore eye!" Lee exclaimed and bowed to Hinata, making her giggle.

"Just who the hell does he think he is?!" Itachi thought, his eyebrown twitching.

"I´m here to bring you this!" Lee continued and handed Hinata a bunch of some papers.

"Neji-san asked me to give these to you. He want´s you to keep them, until he comes to visit you or you go to Kyoto!" Lee continued, still grinning like an idiot.

"Oh! I see. Well, thank you." Hinata said and smiled at Lee, making Itachi want to slam the door against Lee´s face.

"Yosh! My job here is done! I´ll say good bye to you now, mylady!" Lee said and ran down the stairs, not giving Hinata a chance to say bye.

"Who was that?" Itachi asked, forcing himself not to sound angry or jealous.

"Oh, he was Lee, one of Neji-niisan´s friends." Hinata said and walked back to the kitchen. Itachi followed close behind, scolding himself silently for getting jealous so easily.

"Of course she can have male friends. I just have to make sure that they won´t get too close to her." Itachi thought and sat back on his original place. But there was something good at Lee´s visit. Now Itachi was sure how he felt towards Hinata.

"I have to confess my feelings to her soon. And I want to make it special." He thought and started thinking different ways how to tell her. He wanted it to be something that she wouldn´t forget easily. He thought for a moment until he realized how he would do it.

"I guess it´ll be a bit childish, but it´s not something usual." He smirked as he thought how Hinata would look like when he would tell it to her.
