Chapter 2: Innocence.

He had been trying for more than an hour to respond in the most appropriate way to the letter of his little girlfriend.

I couldn't be so direct and just say no, after all it was a girl "Dear Hinata chan" he started, but the second he dismissed it, too formal for a girl. "Dear Hinata chan"... Neither, even if it was a very common phrase being so small, it could misinterpret things and get more illusions.

Sighed.

"Hello," greeted a guy by stepping into the bedroom window - how's it going?

"Not very well Shisui," the boy looked at him confused, "that's not typical of you," he said, finishing putting his body in and then closing the window.

"I don't know what to do Shisui," he said, walking to the drawer, "I have this problem," he showed him the letter.

The boy took the letter and examined it - I must honestly say that I never imagined that little girl coming to us just to declare her love to you, I must give her credit for her courage... oh how sweet! - pronounced in an even sweeter tone, then returned the paper- and what do you plan to do?, that little problem awaits a positive response from you

"That's precisely the problem, I can't say yes, because she's a girl," paused resting her left cheek on the palm of her hand, "besides, I'm starting to feel really very uncomfortable with all this.

"I get it," said the other gushing his arms, "but you shouldn't feel bad because you know it's the right thing to do in the end.

-I know Shisui, I can't help it I don't want to make her feel bad, I know I should tell her no, but no matter how much I think about it, I can't find the least way... cruel? to do so.

Shisui grimaced: he cocked his mouth and raised an eyebrow - Itachi, she is a girl, she does not know exactly what you are ... rejecting? - yes, I had to admit that saying that word sounded pretty cruel- She 'll believe anything you tell , just integrate speaking his same language and you'll be on the other side - Itachi looked at him confused and he rolled his eyes- ash... I mean that you answer him as if they were the same age- Then the Uchiha understood what his best friend wanted to tell him and it was precisely the perfect way to do it. Itachi took pen and paper and when he was going to start writing Shisui's hand prevented him - Itachi - pronounced seriously staring into his eyes and shaking his head in disapproval - it is not a good idea for you to write her a letter, think that you could get into trouble if someone or Hiashi Hyuga himself gets to read it. People's minds are... shady -trembled for a moment- and I don't think you see with good eyes that a twelve-year-old boy writes to a seven-year-old girl whatever you planned to write related to a love topic. They would perhaps think that you are falling in love with those who know what purposes," Itachi opened his eyes in fear at the papers he had thrown in the trash can. He imagined himself being tried in front of the whole village accused of pedophilia; Sasuke told him that he was disappointed, his father denied it and his mother cried with shame, while Hiashi Hyuga demanded that his head be cut off – you are right – Shisui nodded – it is better that there is no evidence – he nodded again – seeing how he used a katon to burn all the papers.

-I guess it's better to talk about it personally though...

-Yes, I understand you it will be uncomfortable and in itself it is strange but it is the only way you have, unless you leave the subject and do not respond ... Although of course that would be more cruel, but surely forget it in a few days.

"No, Shisui, I guess I'll have to put up with it and face the situation. If I don't... Well, I guess I'll remember the day when... I ruined one's life... girl? - the other Uchiha began to laugh outrageously-WHAT ARE YOU LAUGHING AT? - he asked noticeably annoyed- you are somewhat exaggerated Itachi, you are not going to ruin his life, maybe if it is something enough... Scoundrel, but on the one hand he may be disappointed and leave the subject now the new alternative that Shisui gave him seemed good to some extent but not the best option - whatever you decide, I am sure you will make the best decision. I have to go, see you - see you - he replied - leaving Itachi alone again, who lay on the bed and fell asleep.

The holidays passed and the day came. The academy bell rang and Itachi had met his mother that day he would pick up Sasuke. Just as he didn't expect it was Hinata Hyuga at the exit waiting for him, "I thought he would forget" he said internally and heavy drink. He walked slowly and silently to where she was, sighing because he did not know how he would take things, what he least wanted was to make her cry and for everyone to see the scandal and think otherwise- he had a flashback.

-Nii San! - I hear in the distance the voice of his little brother, that voice that he usually liked to hear so much, except for that day that had betrayed him more than necessary. He then saw how a small blue head was turned towards him, while Sasuke ran to -Let's go home quickly NII San, I'm really hungry-Itachi fussed his brother's head a little- sorry Sasuke could you see if our father is in the corner? - It was a white lie, but I needed to get rid of it for a few seconds, long enough to be with her and end that topic-go calm Sasuke, you know that Dad does not like you to run.

"Yes!" he replied innocently excitedly and walked to where his brother had told him.

"Hello Hinata chan," the girl blushed and began to play with her fingers. In the eyes of the Uchiha he could easily have been with his little sister and although he tried to see him that way his discomfort increased every time he watched as the little eyes shone and his blushing cheeks contrasted with his white skin. She was really cute, she was the female version of her little brother.

-Goo... Good afternoon Itachi kun- that phrase said in that childish, shy and tender voice had left him speechless, it was really lovely, but after all a girl.

"I have read your letter and first of all, I must say that your drawing is very beautiful," he observed a slight smile on Hinata's mouth, "he trembled with fright, even so he continued," he continued - I appreciate the time it took, but - that word was enough to dispel that charming face. Itachi saw tears begin to gather in her eyes and her lips wrinkled about to pout - no, don't cry please - he said taking a handkerchief from his pocket to give it to her.

-But? - said in a thread of voice.

-We are too young to have a relationship, I still do not finish studying and you like my brother Sasuke are still in the academy -Hinata looked at him shyly relaxing his melancholy face - my parents do not let me have a girlfriend and they would be very angry if I did not obey them -eureka the girl's face changed to a more surprised and somewhat scared one bringing both hands to his lips - and I imagine your dad does not either. I would leave you, we can't make them angry, right? - she knew she could easily manipulate her mind when the parents were in between and she shook her worried head nodding ironically to what Itachi said - then Hinata chan is better that we wait for permission and grow, don't you think? "She moved her head again but now up and down—until the academy is over?" she asked timidly. Itachi looked at her compassionately

"Yes, even when you graduate from the academy," he replied, because surely when that happened, she would already notice someone else or even forget about it – Hinata began to smile again. Itachi had achieved his goal, at least moderately, to tell him no and not see it as rejection was the main thing, as something that could not be possible because they depended on what his parents said, what he did not expect was to leave a window open – So… "not yet, Hinata chan", we can not be boyfriends - he said in a very low tone so that he believed that it was a very secret matter - but shh - he whispered, she moved her head back and down – let it be our secret – finished the Uchiha, watching as the Hyuga ran her index finger and thumb over her lips imitating the closure of a zipper. He smiled because despite everything things had gone better than he expected, Hinata had quite understood the situation - try hard at school, Hinata chan - it was the last thing he said to her and then turn around and see how Sasuke came back - Hey nii San, Father was not there.

"Forgive me Sasuke, I just remembered that he said he couldn't always come," the boy inflated his cheeks seeing him with his eyes narrowed. Itachi again disturbed his brother's hair until he saw him smile again. He was happy, but it bothered him to have asked the girl to be silent, he was not doing anything wrong, but it seemed and that feeling was not pleasant at all.

While little Hyuga returned home happy, eager to finish the academy and grow soon so she could be by her side. Sigh excited.
