I turned and pushed him away from me.
I wasn't sure what he wanted from me, his face still had the same stoic expression.
As much as I wanted to believe the Itachi I had known still existed I knew I had to accept the truth sooner or late, he was gone.
Shaking my head I turned away from him and opened the door.

"I can't" I whispered and I left the room shutting the door.
I wandered down the hall and realized I had no idea where I was or where I could go.
Sighing I just turned a random corner and kept walking, I turned corner after corner, the building seemed like a freaking maze, until I arrived in what seemed like a living room.
I guess this was the room I had been in first before they took me to see the leader.

From what I could see it was empty and no one was around.
Sitting down on the couch I covered my eyes with my hand and bit my lip.
This was not how I had envisioned how it would go, instead of killing him I would now share a room with him, we even shared a bed.
I sighed there was no way out of this mess even if I ran I don't think they would just let me.

The door opened but I didn't bother to look who it was and apparently they didn't care much either because they just left again through another door.
Here I was, what had I been thinking really, now everything was mess.
I grew frustrated by the whole situation and I really wanted to hit something..or someone.

The door opened again and I was about to get up and leave when I heard a chuckle and I groaned.
"Can I help you Kisame" I sighed out.
He chuckled again and walked towards me and took a seat next to me but he didn't speak.

"Are yo enjoying my misery" I asked dropping my hands to look at him.

He grinned down at me.
"Maybe just a little" he rasped out.

"Are you by any chance willing to trade rooms" I asked smiling weakly.
He laughed and shook his head
"No way in hell, he is your problem" He laughed.
Sighing I rose from the couch and started on my way back to the room.

I figured it was better to clear the air now then wait until tonight.
I walked down the hallways in what I hoped was the right direction.
Turning another corner I was suddenly in a hallway I had not seen before, I was lost.
How many people were there anyway that you need a place this large!

Growling I stomped my foot much like a child would have done and turned to look over my shoulder, where had I gone wrong.
I bit my lip in frustration and closed my eyes trying to sense anything.

"Are you lost hmmm" Deidara's voice suddenly sounded behind me.
I swiftly turned around and blushed as I scratched the back of my head.

"Uuuhm yes I kind of am" I admitted a bit reluctantly.
He chuckled slightly and pointed to the right.

"That way, then turn left at the end it shouldn't be to hard after that" he spoke.

"Thank you" I smiled at him bashfully.
"And sorry about uuh you know before" I said still lightly blushing.

He merely shrugged and continued onward while I headed back in direction he had just pointed me.
I finally found the room and gathered my courage.
Pushing open the door open I peeked around only to find an empty room.
I raised my eyebrows in surprise and walked to the bed.

Suddenly a sound reached my ears, at first I thought it was rain but then I realized it wasn't rain but a shower.
I flushed bright red just of the idea, I swear he better had taken some clothes with him.
Trying to calm down my racing heart I stared out of one of the windows and found out it was actually also raining.
Pulling a face at the depressing weather I leaned my head against the window.

The sound of the door opening pulled me back to reality and automatically I turned my head towards the source.
My eyes widened and the red color rushed back to my face, he wasn't completely naked, thank god for that but still!
I slapped a hand over my eyes.

"Pull on a shirt for god sake!" I choked out.

The image of him shirtless, his bottom half only clad in sweats, his hair still wet and a towel over his shoulders would be forever burned into my memory.
I peeked through my fingers to see if he had done what I requested but he hadn't moved from his spot and was just looking at me with a smug expression on his face.
Sighing I looked away again, the blush still tainted my cheeks.

The sound of footsteps made me look back at him.
His back was now turned to me and I couldn't help but stare.
My eyes followed the drops of water that rolled down his back, I noticed the ways his muscles flexed beneath his skin.

"I can feel you staring" He spoke calmly as he looked at me over his shoulder.

"I wasn't" I argued back my blush only intensifying.

His chuckle sounded through the room and something warm spread through me.
He sounded so much like the young Itachi had known in that moment that I couldn't help but smile and bite my lip.
After he pulled on a shirt he walked to the bed and sat down next to me.

"I understand you don't trust me, I don't blame you" He spoke with his monotone voice.
I frowned my warm moment didn't last long.

"Do they know?" I asked in wonder as I cocked my head to the side.

He just shook his head "no they don't"

I nodded, of course they didn't.
I just couldn't help but stare at him.
It seemed unfair how I treated him, he had suffered maybe more than we had, he didn't just lose his family, he had taken their lives.
Biting on the bottom of my lip I wrestled with my thoughts.

"I am so confused" I muttered more to myself then to him.
He just looked at him, suddenly he reached out with his hand and out of instinct I leaned away.
Gently he took some strands of my hair in between his fingers and I looked at him in wonder.

"He was right, you look prettier with you hair longer"

My breath caught in my throat and my cheeks once more turned bright red.
I could hear my heartbeat thrumming in my ears.
He chuckled again his fingers still playing with my hair.

"You blush really easily" he commented smirking at me.

I pouted slightly.

"I tried to stay away from people so I feel awkward real fast" I muttered.
"And any girl would blush when a half naked man is wandering around the room" I finished.

His smirk didn't falter as he kept staring at me.
Our eyes locked and my heart soared as I suddenly notice the charcoal color.
I noticed how warm they looked instead of the cold empty eyes he had before.
Time slowly ticked by as we sat there staring at each other and it felt like it always had.

I realized that I had been wrong it had not been the kind side of Itachi that had been fake.
This cold new person was nothing but facade and suddenly my heart ached for him.
All this time he had been alone, no one knew the truth, no one knew the sacrifice he had made.

Before I realized what I was doing I leaned forward and pulled Itachi into a hug.
Hands clenching as I took hold of his shirt.
He froze at first unsure of what to do before slowly his arms wrapped around me and he hugged me back.
