Hellos, Umm…so…this is an ItachiNeji fanfic, also my very first fic ever…some yaoi…don't like, don't read…I don't know where I'm going with this exactly…

Disclaimer: do I have to? I don't own most of the CHARACTERS but I do own the plot, setting, etcetc…

There may be some errors, but this wasn't betaed…and the rating may go up later, there's not much happening in this chapter anyway…

Thanks to InnocentxObession for her encouragement to write a fanfic.

R&R please , constructive criticism appreciated.

It was pouring. A slim figure with long, coffee brown hair huddled outside a bakery. His eyes were an unnatural shade—white with a tint of lavender; they had no visible pupil. It was a week ago when he escaped the hell called "home". His dad, an attorney, had expected him to be perfect in any and every way—academically, physically, mentally, etc... Five days, it was five days ago that he had gotten off the train and ended up in this dreary city; a large portion of his money had been spent on the train ticket, and now it was running low.

"I need to find a job a soon", he thought to himself while standing up and starting to wander, "Oomph!"

"Hey, watch where you're going!" As they boy looked up, he was immediately drawn into blood-red eyes. For a while, they just stared at each other, scarlet into lilac, lilac into scarlet. It was when they finally broke the stare, that the boy noticed how the other looked (besides the eyes of course)—tan, long raven black hair in a ponytail, slim but still muscled, an inch or two taller than himself, two lines going down from the corner of his eyes, a frown, about eighteen and a long black trench coat with peculiar red clouds on it.

"Sorry…" he mumbled.

"No harm was done. So…what is a boy like you doing out in this weather not in a nice, warm, cozy house?"

"That's none of you business."

"Well, I could always turn you into the homeless if you don't have a house…if you do have one, I would like to know why you are out here and not in it."

"What are you doing out here?"

"I asked first."

"Fine, I ran away, happy?" why in the world did I tell him, a total stranger, that? Could he be possible hypnotizing me? It's not impossible with those eyes…

"Hmm…I see…Well my apartment has an extra room, you can stay there until you figure out what to do with yourself." Why did I just offer him to stay at my place? Perhaps I am attracted to him? No, that can't be, those eyes? They are uncanny, but attractive at the same time, anyway…

"What's the catch?"

"…Well, since I'm a painter, I don't have much time to do chores…you could cook, clean, and run errands for me…"

What does he take me for, a maid?!But it would be worth it to get out of this rain… I could just stay for a night, how bad could it be? Besides…he's kind of hot…wait, where did that come from? It must be the rain and the hunger. "Fine, but I won't stay long."

"Fine with me, you can stay longer if you change your mind. By the way, I don't even know your name."

"Neji Hyuuga. Yours?"

"Itachi Uchiha." Damn it! I almost forgot why I came out in this dreadful weather; I need to get some paint! "Listen, you can either stay here and wait for me or go with me across the street…I need to get some art supplies."

What have I gotten myself into? He's a total stranger! But why do I feel calm and safe around him? "I'll go with you, seeing that I have nothing to do standing here anyway."

And so the first chapter ends, very bad ending I know. Sorry for the characters being a little OOC…maybe a lot… and for the choppiness and how things just seem to happen randomly…the next chapter will come out in a week or two, more than likely two, I have finals coming up. Byebye for now!
