“Neji?”

“Shh. There's nothing to worry about Kagome. I'll protect you. You know that.”

Kagome's eyes overflowed with tears as she looked at her protector.

“Always Neji? You promise?”

“Always and forever Kagome. Aishiteru.” Unless fate directs us otherwise.

“I love you too Neji.”

Kagome and Neji leaned in for a soft kiss, but a feminine voice interrupted them when they were mere moments away from tasting each other.

“Neji! Gai-sensei is calling everyone together for training! Where are you?”

Neji sighed softly and looked at Kagome.

Kagome gave Neji a warm look and planted a soft kiss on his lips. “Go Neji. Gai-sensei would be suspicious if you didn't go.”

Neji got up slowly and extended his hand to help Kagome up. Kagome took his hand and was pulled into his chest.

“I'll see you later Kagome?”

Kagome was too wrapped up in the feel of Neji's body against her own to answer him.

He chucked and pulled away from Kagome.

“Aishiteru koi.”

Almost immediately, Kagome came to her senses and blushed.

“Bye.”

Neji walked slowly twaords his teammate Tenten's voice, caught up in his own thoughts.

“There you are Neji! I've been calling forever for you!”

Sparing a glance at Tenten, Neji continued to be consumed in his own thoughts. What do I do with Kagome? I know fate meant for us to be happy forever, but I also believe fate wants me to finish this mission and kill her.

“Neji! My rival!” A boy with large eyes, thick black eyebrows, and shiny black hair ran up to Neji. “I shall beat you! After all, hard work always overcomes natural genius!”

An older man in a green unitard sprinted up to Neji and the boy. “That's my boy Lee! YOUTH!”

Sighing to himself, Neji rolled his eyes skyward and began to train.

Laying back on the grass, Kagome Higurashi stared at the clouds pass by. Neji…why do you have to be so confusing? I don't understand, do you hate me or love me?

Kagome snuggled into the grass and closed her eyes, hoping to catch a bit of sleep before Neji came back.

A crackle in the foliage next to her made her eyes snap open.

Kagome took out her kunai and twirled it around her fingers. “Who's there? If you won't tell me, I won't hesitate to kill you.”

A young man about five years older stepped out of the bushes. He had long, black bangs hanging in front of his hair and beautiful, blood-red eyes. He was wearing a long, black coat and netting.

What was weird about him was that a Konoha forehead protector was on his head, yet a line went through the Konoha symbol. It was as if the man wanted to say that he was from the village of Konoha, but his loyalty was to someone else.

The man smirked and slowly advanced on Kagome.

Kagome stood up quickly and held her kunai out in defense.

“I won't ask again, tell me who you are.”

The man's hand came out under his cloak and he unbuttoned the first two buttons of his cloak. Snap. Snap.

Kagome began to fidget uncomfortable. “Who-who are you?!”

The man smirked again and appeared in front of Kagome before she could blink. He tilted her chin up.

“Such lovely eyes…”

“What?”

“You have such lovely eyes for one so young.”

“I'm not young! I'm seventeen!”

The man raised an eyebrow. His gaze raked down Kagome's body.

“Ah.”

Kagome crossed her arms in front of herself impatiently. “It's impolite to stare at a person, especially if their strangers.”

Another smirk. “My apologies. I have just never seen such a beauty around Konoha.”

Kagome blushed but had the decency to say, “Hey, I'm taken.”

“I'll just have to change that, won't I? Your lover is Neji, I believe.”

“N-no…”

“The stuttering in your voice tells me otherwise. Don't lie to me my beauty.”

“Hey, you never told me your name.”

“My apologies, once again. My name is Uchiha Itachi.”

Kagome's eyes widened as soon as the man said his name. “U-Uchiha I-Itachi…?”

“Yes?”

“I've heard many things about you from Neji, most of them bad. What are you doing here?”

Itachi tipped Kagome's head up. “I'm here for you.”

His lips met hers in a soft kiss.
