Our moment didn't last long but I enjoyed the feeling of his hands on my back.
I took in a deep breath as my heart pounded away with such noise I was quite sure he heard it too.
Slowly and reluctantly I pulled back and looked at his face, he looked more relaxed now his features softened as he let the facade slip away.

A smile spread onto my face but I couldn't help but feel anxious too.
It had not been that long ago that he had betrayed my trust who was to say he wouldn't do so again.
Apparently my face showed my doubts because he move further away from me.

"I won't hurt you again" He spoke lowly.
"The fact I had to kill you weighed really heavy on me, I never wanted to hurt you or betray you like that" He confessed as he stared at the wall.

I just stared at him in silence.
How was I supposed to respond to that, I couldn't tell him I understood because I didn't.
Yes the reason why was now clear but that didn't change much, he might not have wanted to hurt me but he did and not just physically.

"You hesitated before you struck me down" I whispered.
"That is the only reason I am alive now" I said as I finally looked away from him and looked down at the floor.

I was glad the old Itachi still seemed to be in there, he had his own reasons for doing the things he did.
On the other hand he had changed too, the cold act might be a facade but his act reflected on his behavior and had left its scars, how could it not have.
That moment I realized we had to start over, start fresh and turn to a new page.
I had no reason to deny him into my life any longer but I needed to get to know him again see the parts tat were familiar and get to learn the knew.

I laughed softly to myself in relieve and turned to look at me with raised eyebrows.
Reaching out to him I flicked him on the forehead much like he had always done with Sasuke and he smiled slightly at the action.

"I guess we just have to start over" I said as I cocked my head smiling brightly.
"Since I am going to be stuck here for awhile and we share a room and all"

He nodded and slowly but surely his smile widened.
"I guess we do" He stated.

The tension seemed to have left the room after that and we settled on the bed just listening to the rain outside as it pounded against the window.
Even breathing reached my ears and I turned my head to look beside me to find a sleeping Itachi.
His face was completely relaxed and he seemed so peaceful in that moment.
Once more I was reminded of how handsome he was always had been even when we were kids and my heart swelled at the thought that I had once been able to call him mine.

I rose from the bed softly trying not to wake him and succeeded quietly I left the room to let him rest some more and find myself something to eat.
Now that all the nerves and negative feelings were gone I was left quite hungry.
With a good mood I started my search for the kitchen and once more made my way down the hallways.

Most likely I had been played, there was no way you had this many hallways and no empty rooms in the building.
Maybe it was because they didn't trust me and wanted someone to keep an eye on me or maybe it had been for different reasons but I didn't care anymore.

Pushing a door open I found myself back in the living room which seemed to be more occupied this time around.
Kisame was still there but he had been joined by Sasori and some others whom I didn't really know.

"Still alive huh" Kisame joked.

"He wasn't able to kill me the first time what makes you think he would do better now" I retorted causing him to laugh that maniac like laugh, it did fit him though.

"Is there perhaps a place where I can get something to eat, I am starving" I questioned.
Kisame just pointed to the door and went back to whatever it was he was doing.

Silently I made my way to the door and opened it.
I made my way to the counter and opened some cabinets until I found some rice, I couldn't help but wonder if I was the only girl here.
Most of the cabinets were empty and quite dusty.

Sighing I set to work on making some onigiri while the rice cooked I searched the fridge for something else to go with it and decided that I would go with some fish.
The door opened and I jumped slightly as I turned around.

I stared at the person who had just walked in and couldn't help but feel on edge.

"Who the hell is the bitch in the kitchen" He cursed to someone in the living room.
I flinched slightly but glared at him.
"I am not a bitch thank you very much" I spat as I turned around again and went back to cooking my dinner.
I just heard him scoff before he pulled something from the fridge and left again.

Wondering what the hell his problem was I put the finishing touches to the food and sat down at the table.
My mouth watered slightly as the smell filled my nose, it had been awhile since I had last cooked for myself.
I dug in without holding back and finished quicker than I normally would have.

Cleaning up the mess and the dishes I made my way back to my room.
As I passed through the living room I glared at the white haired male again but he didn't see it.

Upon opening the door I found Itachi was still sleeping and made my way to the bathroom to take a shower.
Grabbing my bag to look for some clean clothes only to find none.
I cursed under my breath but my eye fell on his wardrobe and I smiled.

Pulling one of his shirts out of it I hurried into the shower.
The warm water poured down onto me and I sighed as it relaxed my muscles.
After cleaning myself up I towel dried my hair before breading it and pulled on Itachi's shirt.
I inhaled the scent while closing my eyes smiling to myself.

I opened the door and walked into the room and glanced at Itachi only to find him staring back at me.
My cheeks turned red and I cleared my throat suddenly very aware of myself.

A smile spread onto his face but he remained silent as I made my way over to the bed and settled down.
He settled down beside me and at first it felt awkward but after I got used to the feeling of someone being beside me I quickly fell asleep.
Before I drifted of I could feel his fingers brush passed my cheek before he turned his back to me, my cheeks turning red again.
