Wow, it's been awhile and I think it's been for the best because I have new ideas.

A figure in the shadows looked in on the two with disgust. His normally stoic face twisted into a tight frown and he narrowed he eyes in hate. The pale moon light reflected from his scarlet eyes as he moved to obscure himself once again in the darkness.

The figure glared at the Sand Ninja with hate. He watched intently as the red-haired bastard embraced the Hyuuga one last time before she returned to her room. As the red head retreated back from the Estate, the shadowed figures eyes glazed over with concentration contemplating the best way to execute his plan.

Minutes turned to hours and eventually the moon disappeared over the horizon only to be replaced with sun signifying that dawn had once again come. The figure maneuvered up the Hyuuga Estate to get a better view as the Hyuuga girl entered the bathroom; probably to shower he assumed.

The figure slowly entered her room. As he entered, he almost visibly grimaced; her room was almost stereotypically white and pink colored. His dark figure looked marginally out of place among white walls with pink flowers stemming from the ceiling. He lazily leaned on the wall and waited for the Hyuuga to exit the bathroom.

Hinata sighed tiredly as she turned off the hot water and she stepped from the shower.

As the cold air met her bare skin she hurried to dry off and dress. She sighed as she dried off; remembering she to be ready for the meeting with the Hyuuga Elders.

She wasn't sure about what the meeting was about and was surprised when her father had asked her to attend. Usually the meetings were only attended by Main Branch members when important clan issues needed to be discussed. She felt her nervousness in her stomach increase as she continued to dress.

As she reached for the door and opened it, she was met by eyes that made her feel nothing less than petrified. If she hadn't known any better she would have believed that the eyes before her belong to Sasuke. But she knew better.

Itachi's face remained the same as he pushed himself off the wall and turned to completely face her. He could tell from the moment she had come out of the bathroom that she was the same Hyuuga from the night before.

Hinata stayed where she was, her eyes wide and frightened. She remembered all the stories her family told about the massacre and she froze up in terror. His eyes turned from red to black as he looked at her. She couldn't tear her gaze away. His eyes, thought so different from Sasuke's looked so much like his. At that moment she felt she was looking right thought his eyes and looking in to Sasuke's.

Shame was the first feeling to well up inside of her. She averted her gaze and lowered it to the floor.

"You must be the Hyuuga named Hinata" When she nodded slightly he thought for a moment.

Itachi inwardly smirked, so, this was the one the red-head loved. His red eyes flicked up and down her body as he made a mental decision to make sure he would suffer for what he had done.

Itachi was thoroughly disgusted when learned that his brother was killed; killed for something as meaningless as love. It was not that Itachi was angry that his brother was killed, but for something as frivolous as affection? It was ridiculous that the Sand Nin could even call himself a ninja.

Besides, Itachi had his plans for Sasuke and he wasn't very pleased with having to change them.

So, to put it simply Gaara will pay for his foolish actions.

Hinata barley looked up in time to see Itachi's cloak flutter through her window and disappear. And just as he had come he had gone. Hinata stayed staring after him as she sighed and continued to stare after in fear and confusion.

As Hinata gathered her things, she wondered if she should tell someone. But she was afraid and she hated herself for that.

She wondered if anyone would even believe her if she told them that Itachi Uchiha, the man who massacred his clan, had come into her room at dawn just to confirm her name. Now that she thought about it she could barely believe it and she saw him herself.

So many unanswered questions.

How irritating.

Well, what do you think about Itachi?

Don't worry, there's Gaara in the next chapter.

So, tell me!!
