Okay so here's another update. This is mostly just flashbacks I guess... but whatever.

" I can't believe this," Hana whispered, staring desolately at the memorial, " you weren't supposed to die. I told you not to die! Why did you have to die? You're the only one who could have stopped the wedding. I can't stop it now, I'm stuck with that bastard Ebisu. Even knowing that… I don't care. I'd deal with that for centuries, if I could have just one more day with you… just one more day in that cabin. Just one more day to tell you how I really feel." Dropping to her knees, she sobbed one hand brushing his name carved into stone. As everything that they had been through together hit her.

As they passed each other, his eyes flickered open and he glanced at her. His eyes meeting hers, she stared right back at him, until his eyes flickered forward again. She continued walking as though nothing had happened, but his eyes, those dark black eyes, had been so cold, so empty full of loneliness that she felt sad for him.

After that initial ' meeting,' if you could even call it a meeting, she decided to be his friend, since he was almost always alone. So every time that she saw him, she gave him a big smile and a hello. Usually he nodded, or stared at her blankly, but some days he would reply with a polite hello.

" Why don't you want people to enter?" Hana asked she could feel her eyelids growing heavy.

" Cause I don't like people," Itachi replied.

" Why?" Hana asked he scowled.

" They're annoying," he said looking down at her, " like you."

" Well your annoying," she said resting her head in the crook of his neck again, " so you should get along well with me." She trailed off as she fell into sleep, inhaling his scent she sighed, feeling safe in his arms.

" Itachi! OPEN THIS DOOR!" she shouted while still trying to break down the door, then it opened, and she felt the fist that was about to hit the door, hit something softer, mainly Itachi's nose. He grunted removing her fist and holding his nose.

" What the hell are you doing?" he snarled, checking if his nose was bleeding, " all you hand to do was turn the bloody doorknob! Usuratonkachi!"

" Oh," Hana said awkwardly, trying the doorknob, " I see." Itachi rolled his eyes and walked back over to his desk, and started to write. She walked over to the bed and sat down, leaning against the desk, resting her head on top of the desk. Itachi muttered something as he moved her ponytail off the paper that he was trying to write on. She sighed loudly, and heard him grinding his teeth so smirking she started whistling. He let out a low growl, and she stopped until the pen had touched the paper again, then she started up again. This continued for some time until Itachi stood up angrily knocking his chair to the floor.

" What do you want!?" he snapped angrily, she looked up at him calmly and shrugged, he closed his eyes, counting to ten, then he stood his chair up and sat down again.

" Hey Itachi?" Hana said staring at the ceiling, she heard his low murmur of acknowledgement, " sorry I hit you."

" It's fine," he said, she pulled out a kunai and started spinning it in her hand, " why are you here?"

" We should go and get some food," Hana said looking back at him, he stared at her blankly, " well I skipped breakfast and you must be hungry. So lets go get some yakisoba!"

" I don't like yakisoba," Itachi said wrinkling his nose, Hana rolled her eyes and stood up heading for the door, his voice stopped her, " but I might be up for some dango…"

" All right!" Hana said smiling, Itachi sighed, " dango it is!"

" Yeah, fine," he said picking up a paper and reading it, " but I need to finish this report first…"

" Screw the report," Hana said grabbing his arm and dragging him away from the desk, he barely had time to hit the light before she hauled him out the door, " you need to lighten up and have some fun!"

" Hana," he said slowly, she looked up and he saw the glint of a tear in her eye, so pushing his cold self down he walked over, and placed a finger under her chin raising it so he looked in her eyes, " I didn't kill Shisui, and they aren't taking me anywhere." She nodded, but didn't look convinced, so he pulled her into a soft embrace, one of her hands on his upper arm, the other gripping his shirt. His hands held her close to him; he stepped back and looked her in the eye.

" Promise?" Hana asked him holding out her hand, " promise you won't leave?" Itachi stared at her hand, for a long time then he turned away.

" I need to get back to the Uchiha estate," he said as he began walking, " I'll see you later, Hana." She remained watching the Uchiha fan on his back, until he was out of sight. Looking down at her hand, she sighed; he couldn't promise that he wouldn't leave.

" Itachi," Hana whispered running over to him, and throwing herself into his arms, he caught her, surprised, " I'm so glad your okay. I was worried about you."

" Hana," he whispered, looking down at the young woman, who was gripping his shirt tightly, " why did you come here?"

" Someone killed your clan," she said looking up at him, " I needed to make sure that you were okay." Itachi was silent; he realized that she didn't know that he had killed them all.

" What are you going to do about the murderer?" Hana asked him, he closed his eyes and opened them revealing his mangekyou sharingan, " what… what is that? Is that the mangekyou? But you can only get that by killing your…" Hana trailed off as the pieces fell into place, she released Itachi and stumbled backwards.

" Yes Hana, I killed Shisui," Itachi said softly, she shook her head, " I also killed my entire clan."

" No," Hana said trying to smile, like it was a joke, " you wouldn't… I can't believe you! You killed your entire clan! How could you do that!"

" It needed to be done," he replied calmly as she dropped down onto the bed.

" That's why you wouldn't promise that you wouldn't leave," Hana whispered looking up at him, " but you're Itachi! The Uchiha prodigy, the village's pride! The man I…"

" Hana," Itachi said softly, kneeling in front of her, wiping away a tear, " that person you knew, the person you care about, is merely a dream. A person I pretended to be, it was a dream, Hana, nothing more."

" I like dreaming," Hana snapped angrily, as the tears came more quickly, " I want to keep dreaming."

" Someday all dreams have to end," Itachi said sadly, " I am sorry Hana, you were the one person in the village that I liked. Thank you, for getting me to have a little fun."

" I came by," he said quickly, " you weren't here. And like I'm going to just walk up to the Inuzuka compound and ask if Hana can come out and play."

" Jerk," she said standing and going back to the desk, " you shouldn't of come back. I didn't want to see you anyways, I never missed you once."

" Ah, I can see that," he standing behind her, she stared intently at the scroll but she couldn't actually read it with him behind her, " I see that's my old headband your wearing." Hana froze, she had completely forgotten. Standing she pushed him away and walked to the door, but he appeared in front of her. Right in front of her, she walked right into his chest; he was still taller than her. Stepping back she felt his arms catch hers, and looking up into his eyes, she saw the old Itachi again. The Itachi that he had said was a dream, for a moment, just a moment, Hana felt like everything was okay again, like he hadn't left. Itachi saw this and leaning forward he captured her lips in a kiss, feeling her shock he bit her lower lips making her gasp in pain, using that to let his tongue dart into her mouth. His hands pulled her against him as she raised her arms around his neck, running her fingers through his midnight hair, she moaned in pleasure as his tongue explored her mouth. After what seemed like days, he broke the kiss, leaving her leaning against him. If he hadn't of been holding her, she was sure that she would have collapsed. Looking up into his eyes, she suddenly saw sadness forming in them.

" Hana," Itachi said softly, catching her arms, he raised her head and brushed away a tear with the back of his hand, " I'm sorry. Kurenai and I were a thing, before I left. She kissed me and I ended it, besides, your getting married."

" It's an arranged marriage," Hana said softly, his hand was still on her cheek, " my mother set it up. I don't want to marry that bastard."

" Hana, I can't change this," Itachi whispered leaning his head in to brush her lips, her eyes closed as she moved against him, " if I could change this I would. But your mother hates me, and it has already been arranged. And what we're doing right now is wrong." He moved away, Hana remained where she was.

" I'm sorry I was too late," he whispered forming hand seals, she rushed forward, " I'm in the way again." He vanished in a puff of smoke, and she ran right through where he was.

" Ah," he said placing the familiar wolf mask over his face, Hana looked at him, it was the old Itachi again, " let's go." The four behind him vanished, but Hana had grabbed his shirt, he glanced down. Before he could stop her, she had pushed his mask up and pressed her lips to his. He didn't have time to react before she released him and pushed him away.

" Be careful," was all that she said before he vanished.

" Everyone says, it will get better," Hana sobbed, wrapping her arms around herself while the tears flowed, " that it comes in waves and one day it will stop hurting. But it doesn't come in waves it's constant. I miss you… I miss you so much. I don't know how to do this without you. I love you so much that every time I think I'm never going to see you again, I laugh… because it sounds like the stupidest thing in the world to me. I don't want to do this without you Itachi… I'm not going to do this without you." Reaching down she slowly pulled out a kunai and raised it. As the blade neared her throat, she felt a pair of hands catch hers. Glancing up she gasped.

" Itachi?" she whispered, the young man smiled sadly, " it's not you is it."

" Hana," the echoing voice said sadly, "I can live on, in you… you have so much to live for. Don't throw your future away for me, because you and I are one. I'll always be with you, just look over your shoulder and I'll be right there. So don't give up… 'cause I'm always going to be right here. You're living for the both of us now, so don't die 'kay?" Hana reached out a hand as Itachi vanished.

" Okay, Itachi," she whispered, running her fingers over his name again, " okay."

" Phew, looks like I made it in time," Tsunade exhaled in relief, Shizune nodded, " I think she'll be okay now. Good thing I'm brilliant at genjutsu though."

" Of course Tsunade-sama," Shizune said, staring through the trees at Hana, " and you're lucky she fell for it."

" Of course, of course," Tsunade sighed, glancing at Hana who was walking away from the memorial, " I need a drink. This was a pretty stupid idea."
