Hi! Chapter 7! Part of Itachi's past is revealed in this (hey, I had to be fair).

See former chapters for warning and disclaimer, that is, of course, if you really want and care to know.

I don't know how to end this fan fic, if anyone has any suggestion, please post it in a review or pm me and I will consider it (if I get some that I really like, I might just put them together somehow, but I WONT kill Itachi and/or Neji, I'm already mean enough to them). Read&Review&Enjoy.

They remained like that for sometime, then backed away from each other blushing. The phone rang and Neji moved so Itachi could get it.

"Hello? Who are you and what do you want?"

"Tsk…To think you transformed into a nice, caring personnel for everyone would be the worst mistake. I, on the other hand, cared enough to call and ask you how the boy is doing."

"Ms. Tsunade. He's doing fine as of now and he's actually eating."

"Me? Who is he talking to on the other end of the phone anyway…?"

"Hmm…that's good. Is there any abnormal behavior coming from him?"

"…Abnormal?"

"You know, different. Most would have suicidal thoughts or become depressed, anything like that?"

"Errr…no? How am I suppose to know?"

"Ok, that's good, now just don't make sure he doesn't kill himself…and don't you kill him either." The last part was mumbled.

"If that's all you have to say, bye, I'm busy…Thanks for asking though…"

"Thanks? I have never heard you say that to ANYONE before…anyway bye"

"I said it last time too, but you hung up…" Itachi mumbled to the dial tone.

"Who was that?"

"Hmm? Oh, that way Ms. Tsunade, one of my…acquaintances…who could be a great doctor because of her medical knowledge and skills, but doesn't choose to for whatever reason.. I called her and told her about your situation after…I brought you home, since you refused to go to the hospital, do you mind telling me why?"

"…After my father…I went and they…just looked at me with disgust and sent me away…"

"Sorry...So what do you want to do today?" After a minute of uncomfortable silence, Itachi asked.

"I don't care…as long as if it's with you…" Neji said looking down and blushing a really dark pink/red.

The other just chuckled. "Well…You do need some more rest…why don't we just go to my room and relax?"

"Itachi. I've been 'resting' and being pampered for three days now. You don't-"

"Shhh…I can never pamper you enough and besides, there's something I need to tell you." Itachi cut him off while picking him up bridal style and carrying him to his room.

"But-"

"Shh…" Itachi set him down on the bed (A/N: ooooo, not what you think though…)and he kissed the other's lips yet again, but this time his tongue brush the younger's lips. Neji, knowing what he wanted, opened his mouth to allow entrance; the two tongues danced with each other for a while before their owners broke apart for air. "I don't think I could ever be satisfied, but that may be my last kiss with him…because once he finds out…what I've done…his reaction…no doubt…would be that as others…when they find out. But…I can't NOT tell him, he has told me all his woes, which I don't see as a flaw that he is no longer…innocent of THAT…, therefore I should tell him my secret, even though it might, no, will, break us apart forever…I don't know why I'm telling him if I want to be with him so badly."

"Itachi? Itachi?" Neji looked worriedly at the other for he had been just staring, just staring at him, for quite a while.

"What? Oh..sorry…I was just thinking about how I'm going to tell you." Itachi sat up on the edge of the bed.

"Tell me what?"

"I…I haven't told you about me. I mean, my past and what I have done."

"Please go on," Neji encouraged.

"This will definitely be the hardest thing I have, and will ever do. Gods please help me go though with this…" Itachi took and deep breath and began. " When I was about 9, my parents, well my mom, my dad usually just left for months trying to find a job…she left me on the streets one night. She got a new boyfriend, that happens regularly when my father was away, and this one did not want to live with a child. He thought all children were trouble, my mom pleaded with him that I would not be a nuisance, but he wouldn't listen. In the end she chose him over me. I don't remember what happened after she left me. All I know is I somehow got addicted to some drug…and joined some gang. For them and that drug, I stole, I ruined the lives of many, I maimed people for life if they wouldn't let me have my way. Eventually I was caught and forced into counseling and I was to live with my counselor…" He trailed off at the painful memories, refusing to meet Neji in the eye.

"What happened afterwards?" Neji asked in a comforting and encouraging manner; laying a pale hand on Itachi's shoulder.

Itachi took another breath and went on while taking the hand on his shoulder and holding it, for possible the last time. "At that time I was 12, I don't know how I remember. Ms. Tsunade was my counselor and believe me, she wasn't nice and calm as counselors are often portrayed as. After three years of that, I was let go. Somewhere within that three years, I had gotten interested in painting and became less and less addicted because of that interest.. I sold my works to many, and as long as I paid for my share of food and shelter, Ms. Tsunade let me live with her. I realized, though, just painting itself wasn't going cover everything, yes, everything to live with her, but I can't be with her forever. I considered stealing again, but I had a feeling that she watches me and I don't think I remember how. So I started to do small odd jobs for money. As I got older, it was easier for me to find jobs; thank goodness though, we did not stay at the city where I was left or no one would hire me, my arrest and conviction was a once in a decade news to those people, it was a quiet town with not much going on. At 15, I was accepted into an art college thanks to a man who was a frequent, for I had continued to study secretly even after I was abandoned and was ahead of most seniors in high school (A/N: I don't know how he knows, but he just does), I just graduated that last year (A/N: He's really smart, remember?), and got plenty of money from the awards. I left Ms. Tsunade after I earned enough to buy a small apartment, which is this. After that I just sold paintings for money and sometimes got awards when I entered them in contests. The rest, you know." Itachi waited for 

Neji's response. It seem to take forever, but yet he didn't want to hear it, for he knew what it was going to be.

Sorry, didn't mean to end it like that, but I have to go and I can't think of how Neji will respond (there's so many possibilities). That's it for now, byebyes & waves!
