Thank you all for you reviews and thanks for reading!

PREVIOUSLY:

Kagome wrapped her arms around Itachi's neck.

“Thank you, Tachi-kun. I've been waiting forever to find you again. A part of me wants to leave with you, but a part of me wants to stay with Neji too. I don't know what to do Tachi-kun.”

Itachi tilted Kagome's head up and met her lips with his.

“Do what your heart tells you. All I want is for you to be happy my Kagome, whether it be with me, the Hyuga, or anyone else of your choice. Remember one thing for me, will you?”

“What's that?”

“I'm always here for you, no matter what.”

Thank you Itachi-kun.

NOW:

Neji and Sasuke were currently in deep discussion on the training ground of Team Seven.

“So…you want me to help find this girl who was taken by Itachi?”

Neji nodded.

“Who is she and why is she so important to you?”

“She's my lover. And my mission.”

“If your mission is to kill her, I see no point in saving her from Itachi.”

“I want Kagome to be happy before I-”

“Wait. Kagome? Kagome Higurashi?”

“I've never introduced you to her Sasuke. How do you know who Kagome is?”

“She lived with the Uchiha clan when she was younger. It was true that Itachi spared only one Uchiha that night, but he didn't spare only one life. He left me alive and took off with his beloved Kagome. I haven't seen her to this day…but you said she came back to Konoha. Where is she know?”

An exasperated Neji stared at Sasuke as if he had grown two head.

“I told you! Itachi left with her.”

“You don't have to worry then, Neji-san. Itachi would never harm Kagome. She'll be back in one piece, you have my word.”

“I'm more afraid of what he'll do to her heart,” Neji murmured softly to himself.

“Tachi-kun?”

“Kagome?”

“Where are we going?”

“You'll see.”

Itachi soon arrived at their destination, a field filed with cherry blossom trees. Since autumn was at hand, fallen cherry blossom petals innocently lay on the ground.

“Do you remember this place?”

Kagome's eyes widened in realization.

“It's where we promised we would always be together. And you carved our names on a tree…”

Itachi confirmed this by brushing a few stray petals away from his hair and approaching a tree. The words “Kagome+Itachi” were carved into the tree, signifying their everlasting love. Itachi placed his hand on the tree and gave Kagome one of the most heartfelt looks she had ever seen.

“I…Itachi?”

“Will you always be mine?”

“Ca-can you give me some time?”

“Of course. Shall we go to our treehouse?”

Itachi extended his arm to Kagome.

Kagome giggled and took Itachi's arm.

“Yes we shall Itachi-kun.”

Meanwhile, Sasuke was currently attempting to hold Neji back from trying to find Kagome.

“She'll be safe! There's no point worrying Neji!”

Neji continued struggling against Sasuke's firm hold.

“That bastard might have already captured Kagome's heart! She's mine! She promised that she would always belong to me, and I promised I'd always belong to her.”

Sasuke stared at Neji.

“I've never seen you like this Neji-san. You must really love Kagome, huh?.”

Neji gave Sasuke an incredulous glare.

“Who do you think I was talking about all this time? Tenten? Lee?”

“Take a deep breath and calm yourself down. What happened to you Neji? You're acting rashly and impulsively. Did you fall for Kagome?”

“Hard.”

Tears fell from Neji's eyes as despair clouded his brain. How can I save Kagome if I can't even save myself?

“Watch out!”

Sasuke tackled Neji to the floor as a kunai whizzed past them. It embedded itself in a tree, just as five more kunai came hurtling towards the pair.

Neji and Sasuke went back to back in order to ensure that no surprise attacks could be launched.

Neji took out his kunai and Sasuke prepared his Chinese star for battle.

As Neji deflected two kunai with his kunai, Sasuke threw his Chinese star and diverted the other three kunai.

“Byakugan!”

Scanning the surroundings, Neji pinpointed the ninjas attacking them.

“Sasuke, there's two ninja in the tree to your left and one further away.”

Sasuke nodded and vanished in a blur. Two bodies fell out of the aforementioned tree and fell to the ground with a loud thump.

Neji attacked the last ninja and held his kunai to the ninja's neck.

“Who sent you?”

The ninja smirked at Neji and coughed up blood.

“I'll never tell.”

“Then die.” With a swipe of Neji's kunai, the ninja's life ended.

Regrouping with Sasuke, Neji looked at Sasuke.

“Stone nin.”

Sasuke's pupils widened slightly.

“They're going to invade Konoha!”

The two bishounen ran quickly back to Konoha to warn Tsunade, the Hokage, of the attack.

Kagome, I'm sorry.

Kagome lay on Itachi's chest in their treehouse. The treehouse had an open roof so the inhabitants could stare at the stars.

“Do you remember what I taught you when we were younger?”

Kagome nodded slowly.

“I-I think so…”

Itachi pointed with his finger at three stars, seemingly connected in the sky.

“Alright then, tell me what those three are.”

Kagome's eyes lit up with remembrance.

“They make up the belt of the great hunter Orion. Orion's belt!”

“You just get smarter every time I see you huh?”

Itachi grinned fondly at Kagome.

Kagome shot a cute grin at Itachi.

“And you just get more handsome. Why do you wear nail polish?”

An anger mark appeared on Itachi's forehead as he heard Kagome's question. He took a deep breath, hoping to stabilize himself. It didn't work.

Okay…what did Mother always say? Count to ten. One. Two. Three. Four.

“Tachi-kun?”

Five. Six. Seven.

Itachi became aware of Kagome poking him.

Eight. Nine. Ten. Damn, it didn't work!

“Hello?”

What did Father always do? Oh yeah, imagine killing his enemies.

Itachi opened his blood-red eyes and stared at Kagome.

“Hmm?”

Kagome threw her arms around Itachi's waist and tucked her head under his neck.

“I was so worried! You didn't answer me and I called you so many times!”

“Sorry. I was thinking about something.”

“Right.”

“Kagome.”

“Fine, fine. By the way, how's Sasuke doing?”

Itachi shrugged.

“Fine I guess.”

“He's your brother Tachi!”

“Don't you remember I killed my entire clan but spared him?”

“Oh. Oh yeah. Hah hah…^_^0”
