Rain, Rain go Away
Chapter: One
Hinata stares down at the crimson leaking from her finger, it's the second time she cut herself this month, it's not like her to think so much, usually she doesn't think at all anymore, she just is. She goes back to chopping carrots, it's been almost five months sense he said it, it seems we're no longer alone, and Hinata can't ignore the bulge in her kimono where her stomach used to lie flat, she is pregnant, and the child will come soon.
Her thoughts been at a constant stir after that night, and her body seems to protest against her more and more each passing day. And the thing not helping is tonight it is sure to rain, he will be waiting to deliver her punishment. Yes that is what Itachi is to Hinata, her punishment for her impurity, but she will not go today, like the last time it rained she did not go, nor the next time it rains will she go, not till it's over.
The knife clatters as it hits the floor, she instinctually holds her stomach as the baby kicks, this is nothing new to her, it first happened late last month, waking her from slumber. Deep inside she feels this can be her way to happiness, the way to revive the old Hinata, but her hope isn't very strong, many thoughts of abandoning the child comes to mind. Leaving the child with someone who deserves happiness.
Plat. The first rain drop hits her roof, she looks back at her blood covered carrots, losing her appetite. She picks up the knife, turning on the sink and running it under the water. The first rain drop turns to many and soon the rain is beating down unmercifully on her rooftop. After fully washing the knife, and disposing the bloodied vegetable, she goes to stand at the livingroom window. The lightning flashes, once, twice, three times, as the rumble of thunder seems almost constant.
"Rain, rain go away,
Come back another day."
The childhood song echos in her mind as she doesn't see the rain as it's usual beauty tonight, just another thing happening outside her home. She decides to go to bed now, turning around her plans change quickly.
There stands Itachi, she almost missed him standing in a dark corner, not once has he stepped foot in her home before, and she doesn't like the fact that he has chosen to now. He stands there perfectly dry, not a drop of water on him, making her wonder how long he's been there and why was he not waiting for her in the woods, did he know she was not to come this evening? The silence is thick between the two, none daring to move, fearing the others reaction.
"It's been a while," finally Itachi speaks, looking not at Hinata, but at her largely grown stomach. With the silence broken and the tension not as strong Hinata starts to go, she hears the footsteps start to follow her after she takes a few steps. She's now in the kitchen, she grabs the knife that was recently chopping carrots from the dish rack. She twirls around and the tip of blade is placed at the Uchiha's throat.
Again silence is left for the longest while, the only movement is the rising of chests as the two breath.
She watches as crimson stains pale skin, as the blade bites into Itachi's throat.
The candles lighting up the house all go out at once, lightening flashes, illuminating the room for just a second, that's long enough for Hinata to see that Itachi is gone.
She twirls around, scanning the area, but it's to dark, even if he was there it's impossable to see, she can't even sence his chakra. She holds the kitchen utensel closer to her body, constantly scanning the area, but still nothing. A sound gets her attention, barely audible squeak of the floorboards.
She swings around, knife out in the air, but it does no damage, for her wrist gets trapped in his closed hand.
"Not good enough," he has the nerve to mock her. She swings her leg up, all intintion on kneeing him in the stomach, but another hand stops the attack, grabbing the leg and keeping it still. She doesn't know why she doesn't give up like many times before, when did it become so important to beat Itachi? But she doesn't quit, she thrusts her head forward, teeth sinking into flesh, Itachi's arm to be exact.
This attack has no effect on Itachi, Hinata knew it wouldn't but she wanted it to, for some reason she wanted to, and she has a small clue as to why. The baby within her womb, it's the only explination there is for it, she feels something, anxiaty, fear? She's unsure but she doesn't want Itachi near her child.
Hinata bites harder, making blood pour from the wound, some of the coppery tasting liquid flooding into her mouth, she doesn't care though. But Itachi acts as if he doesn't feel a thing, for all she knows he doesn't.
This position is held by the two for what seems to be a long time, but in reality only a few seconds. Itachi finally pushes Hinata off him, Hinata catches herself before hitting the ground, doing a back flip before landing safely on her feet.
For some reason she finds herself out of breath, she subconiously puts her hand to her stomach in a protective manner while she regains her breath. She wonders why in her time in weakness why Itachi isn't attacking. Her eyes have finally adjusted allowing her to see Itachi, watching her, inspecting her with those crimson eyes.
She goes to strike again, all to suddenly feeling mentally and physically exhausted, her attack is stopped short. She falls to her knees, she hasn't felt this weak in so long, was the pregnacy doing this to her. She struggles to her feet, only to fall back down again.
"Enough, you'll hurt the child," Hinata is confused at his words, another thing she hasn't felt for so long, why does he care? She instantly backs up as he walks closer, but she finds it futile as he catches her quiet easily. He picks her up, just like a husband would his wife on their wedding day, and carries her to her room, ignoring all of her struggles.
Upon placing Hinata on her bed he sits next to her laying form, he moves his hand to Hinata's stomach. Hinata immediatly smacks away the offending hand, folding her arms over the child in her swelled belly.
The sound of skin on skin contact echo's through the small, empty home along with a small gasp. Itachi has never smacked her before, but it shouldn't shock her that he would.
He grabs both her wrist, pinning them above her head with one hand, his other hand comes to rest on her stomach. Itachi's callous hand gently carresses the container at which Hinata's and his own child rests.
"It is my child as well," With those words and a peck on the forehead he leaves the room, but not the house, Itachi will not leave his child nor will he leave, what he desided, will be his wife.
Hah! I said I was gonna make a sequel, but I wasn't expecting it to be a multichapter, but I just couldn't think of a good way to make it a oneshot, so anyways this was the first Chapter of Rain Rain Go Away, what you think?
