Chapter 12
Hinata's POV
When Itachi asked for Tenshi and I to move into a bigger house, I was lost for words. I didn't know what to say or do. It was matter if I should say yes or if I should say no. I really enjoyed being with him and I missed Tenshi. For the past month I've completely neglected Tenshi, just so I could spend more time with Itachi. Maybe it would be for the better if we all lived together.
While I laid there, I couldn't answer right away. It all seemed so unreal.
"Hinata, did you fall back asleep?" Itachi whispered. I slowly shifted my body so I could face him. "You don't have to if you don't want to, I just think it isn't right to leave Tenshi by herself and," Itachi stopped.
"And?" I asked.
"I actually want to get to know her better. I feel like it's my fault that you don't spend much time with her," I smiled at his words. Itachi really made me happy.
"Don't say that. I'm here with you because I want to be. Plus, I want to live with you too. It's Tenshi I'm worried about. How will she feel about this?" He never said anything for awhile. Instead he gets up and goes and changes his clothes.
As he was taking off his shirt he said, "Can I ask for permission from her then?"
"I don't know though. I love being with you but it doesn't feel right to move in together." What am I saying, I want to. It's just I don't know how Tenshi will react. She pretty much forbids me from seeing Itachi. I'm the parent though, so it should be up to me, not her.
Itachi laid down beside me again. He then uses his arm to hold his head up as he said, "We'll just talk about this tomorrow," Itachi closed his eyes and rest his head on his pillow.
I have to go home tomorrow. I thought to myself.
The next day, I woke up before Itachi. I went into the kitchen and started to prepare for some tea. While I sat there drinking my tea, I didn't bother to wake up Itachi because we both did go to bed late. Slowly taking sips from my tea, I thought about what Itachi asked me. Maybe I should consider it. It would obviously be for the better. I would be able to know how Tenshi is doing.
I was so lost in my thoughts, I didn't even know Itachi walked into the room and sat in front of me. Quickly, I looked up at him and gave him a smile. He returned the smile.
"So," he grabbed onto my hand. "How about the three of us move in together." I nodded and didn't answer his question yet. I didn't know how to say yes or if I should say yes. After awhile, I let go of his hand and grabbed my cup and took a sip.
"When do we go look for a house?" I asked him with a wide grin.
He had a huge smile after I said this. "Are you sure babe? It's great you want to move in together but do you really want to?"
I nodded,"I want to be with you and Tenshi, if this is what I have to do then yes." I kissed him. "Now I have to go home and tell Tenshi."
Itachi and I both had breakfast. Then I left for my driving to the apartment, I didn't know if this was the best thing to do. The drive was quiet, I didn't play the radio. I just needed to think.
Walking into the apartment, I realized it was quiet. That's odd, it's Saturday. Tenshi usually plays music while she sleeps. Slowly, I walked over to her room and opened the door. No one was there. I then checked my room and she wasn't there. Quickly, I grabbed my cellphone and called her phone. I got her voicemail right away, so I figured it was turned off. Then I began to wonder where she could be. She couldn't have gone out drinking? Could she?
Not knowing what to do, I decided to go and see TenTen. Hopefully, that's where Tenshi was.
When I arrived, I walked in and saw Keiji sitting by himself in the living room.
"Hey Hinata," Keiji said as I walked into the living room. "Tenshi is upstairs sleeping if you're worried about her." Oh thank goodness she's here.
"Where's your mom?" I asked him kindly. He gestured towards the kitchen. I nodded and made my way towards the kitchen. TenTen was sitting at the table with a hand over her face. She sniffled when I walked in, I looked at her with concern.
"What's wrong?" I asked. TenTen removed her hand from her face and gave me a smile. I went and sat beside her.
"It's nothing, what are you doing here?" she asked as she wiped under her eye.
"Tenshi," is all I said. She smiled.
"She's upstairs. Her and Keiji came back late last night. I think she drank."
"What was she thinking? Well I guess if she's fine now it should be okay."
"Yeah," TenTen looked as if the weight of the world was on her shoulders. What happened? And I have a feeling she won't be telling me anything. It won't hurt to try though.
"TenTen, what's wrong? You don't look to good," she started to shake her head. Then slowly she turned her head the other way.
"Nothing," I gave her a questioning look. TenTen wasn't acting like herself at all. She always had a smile on her face, like she was invincible. "I'm serious it's nothing. So you don't need to worry."
"Don't lie to me," I told her.
She nodded her head, "let me ask you something first." I nod my head, "are you still seeing Itachi?"
"I am," where was she going with this? This is about her, not me.
"Are you happy?"
"Yes. Now tell me what's wrong."
"You ask Tenshi. Tell her I told her to tell you."
"Okay." I walked upstairs to Keiji's room. Slowly opening the door, I saw a peaceful Tenshi in a slumber. I sat at the foot of the bed and gently shook her leg, "Habi, wake up," all she did was groan in response. "Habi wake up," I shook a little bit harder this time.
"What mom?" she sat up at looked in shock at me. "What are you doing here mom?"
"One, because I need to talk to you and two, did you drink last night? You smell like a rundown tavern." Tenshi started to laugh and nodded her head. She must have known lying wasn't going to get her anywhere.
"What's up mom?"
"What's wrong with TenTen? She won't tell me anything and she told me to ask you," I said. Tenshi nodded her head and sat up. She looked at me and then looked back down on her lap.
"You can't freak, okay?" I nodded my head. Did something bad happen? I kept on asking myself.
"What is it?" I asked her.
"It's about Neji," I nodded. "He's been seeing Sakura and I knew about it-"
"What?" I interrupted her. "What do you mean seeing him? Like sleeping with him?"
"Yes and that's not all," she said quietly. She hung her head low and mumbled something.
"What?" I asked her.
"I said she's pregnant from him and she's going to keep it!" Tenshi yelled. I stared at her in shock. It couldn't be true. Just couldn't.
"Are you sure about this?" It just can't be true. Neji couldn't. What would drive someone to cheat on someone they said they loved? I loved Kiba, still do, but I might have loved again. With Itachi. Kiba did say I could love again. I still love Kiba, don't get me wrong. He will always be my first and only true love. So what kind of love do I have with Itachi?
"Mom, I am positive about this. Remember when Sakura went by the house that one time?" I nodded my head, "Well that's when she asked me what to do about her being pregnant and shit like that." Honestly, at that moment I didn't care what Neji had done, just that me and Tenshi were talking.
"How long have you known about this?"
"I found out a month ago but I don't know how long Neji has been seeing Sakura. You know mom, I'm glad I'm telling you. I hate keeping secrets."
"I've missed you baby, so much," I hugged her tightly as if I would never see her again.
"Can't breathe," she let out a gasp after I let her go. "What else did you want mom?"
"Oh right. Well, Itachi and I have been talking and we're wondering if we could move into a bigger house together," she stared at me in shock.
"Like you, me and Itachi move in together?" I nodded. I didn't know she would be this excited. I'm glad actually because it means will have each other again.
Tenshi and I left. I didn't bother talking to TenTen about the news I found out. I thought it could wait. We both went back to the old apartment. Before going there, we went and picked up some boxes. When inside, Tenshi went straight to her room and started to blare the music. Slowly, I walked over to my room and sat on the bed. I looked around the room and it felt like years since I sat on my bed. Years since I've been inside.
I grabbed a box and walked over to the closet. Slowly, one by one, I put my clothes in there. When I was almost done, I came across a box. I opened it and almost lost it. The smell of him still lingered on his clothes. Picking up his leather jacket, I put it on and started to cry. I missed him so much. Even now, I still don't fully understand why he killed himself. After what Itachi said, it only added more confusion to me. Still, I miss Kiba.
From Hinata,
I'm packing right now. Tenshi said she's okay moving together.
I texted Itachi. While waiting for his reply, the tears fell harder down my face. It was too much. I didn't know what to do with his stuff. The only things I have left of his are his clothes and his letters. I'll keep them, if I got rid of them, then that's it for the memory of Kiba. I have to remember him. He's the one I truly love. I love Itachi but Kiba needs to stay with me. Setting his stuff to the side, my phone beeped.
From Itachi,
That's great babe. I'll start looking for a house or do you want to look with me?
From Hinata,
We'll look together. I want to find the perfect house for us.
I like how Itachi's apartment looks, but I wanted a house that we both can agree on.
After breaking down a couple of times, a few hours later, Tenshi and I finished packing. The next day, the three of us went and looked for a house.
A/N: Sorry for the late update and not the greatest chapter but it will get better. So I guess you could call this kind of a filler, kind of :p
