Sasuke pushed the curtain back and sat down next to me. "If you like you and Neji could always switch rooms, I mean, if this makes you uncomfortable." I shook my head and smiled at him.
"This'll be fine Sasuke-san," I replied softly. I could see the pink returning to his cheeks and I smiled at it.
"Here… Let me help you bring your things in Kira-san." Sasuke offered. I nodded gratefully and we both walked back though the house to where Neji's and my wagon sat.
~ A month or so late r~
"Kira!" I heard Itachi call. I set my book down Sasuke had lent me and got up off my bed. Walking out of my room and down the hall I noticed Neji was out helping Lady Tsunade.
"Coming Itachi-san!" I replied. Rushing through the home I got to Itachi's room as quickly as possible. When I got there he was sitting on his bed, patiently waiting for me to arrive. "Yes sir Itachi-san?"
"I need you to deliver something to Hiashi for me, stating how you and Neji are doing. Can you do that for me? I'm a bit tied up," Itachi requested. I smiled softly.
"And as payment for this task sir?" I asked. Itachi got up and reached into his pocket. Normally I got a good amount of money for running his errands but apparently…
"Sorry Kira, I'm a bit broke today, haven't gotten my pay yet…" he trailed off and walked towards me. What is he doing? Itachi swiftly wrapped his arms around in a hug and bent down, kissing my cheek. "I'll give you actually money next time I have some Kira-san." I nodded a light shade of pink resting on my cheeks. That was different! I blushed as butterflies danced in my stomach. I had small feelings for Itachi, who wouldn't?
"Itachi-san, is the note to Lord Hiashi ready?" I asked him, still in a bit of a shocked daze. Itachi nodded and handed you a some-what lengthy scroll. "That sums up a whole month sir? That is a very long note Itachi-san."
"I thought it was important he know everything that went on. Like how your living arrangements are, eating habits, all personality things…" he started but I cut him off.
"Not to be rude Itachi-san but I highly doubt Lord Hiashi cares about how we are doing. If he cared I'm sure he wouldn't have disowned us," I said. Itachi shrugged and handed me the scroll which I set in my bag. "Wait Itachi-san?"
"Yes?" he replied as he messed with something in his bag.
"What are you so tied up with? Your ANBU squad has the day off…" I said, curiosity dripping from every word said. He shrugged and ushered me out of the room. "Well damn…"
I rushed off to the Hyuga compound; just go get this over with. I haven't been there since me and Neji was forced to leave. I hope Hiashi doesn't get pissed when he sees me.
I came up to the gate and looked at the guards that stood there. They said nothing, just glared at me.
"State your business here," one said.
"I have a note for Hiashi," I said. I stopped myself after noticing I disrespectfully called my uncle by his name.
"Lord Hiashi does not want to see you!" the other man said. "You aren't supposed to be around here you demon!"
"I was sent by Uchiha, Itachi with a letter so let me in or I'll get ANBU on your ass!" I snapped. The guard started to worry and they saw my byakugan activate, my near lethal byakugan. They stepped back, looking down at their feet.
"Y-you may go in…" the first guard said. I smiled at them and walked it. Idiots… I walked in silence down to Hiashi's home. It looked large, seeing as how I never had to go to the large areas in the Uchiha compound.
I knocked on the door and waited patiently. Hinata answered.
"H-hi K-kira!" Hinata said as she hugged me. I smiled and hugged back. "F-father is in there." She pointed at another large door that led to Hiashi's chambers.
"Thanks Hinata," I said softly and I walked over the door. I shoved it open, not caring at this point. "Hey Hiashi! Mail for you!"
"How rude…" Hiashi said glaring at me but then stopped, noticed that it was well, me. "What're you doing here?"
"I already explained… Mail for you!" I repeated. I threw the scroll at Hiashi's feet. "From the Uchihas on how Neji and I are doing." I walked out of the room, refusing to say bye or anything. I walked past Hinata. "See you later Hinata-san." And with that I disappeared.
Sorry that one was really short… I didn't want to get into the next part with this. I don't know, I have odd places for breaks. ^^
