TheDarkestShinobi: the title sucks cause I don't have one, if you have one that might work just put it in a review please. Enjoy. Thought I must warn you rating will probably go up to M and it is a dark story. Its one way Hayate/Hitomi but you'll get the jist after reading this short intro

It was a cold morning so the dew still remained on the leaves of the tree and she felt the constant dripping of the water on her head, but leaning against the tree was too comfortable for her to even think of moving. She closed her eyes and smiled. Her thoughts soon drifted, as they often did, to her boyfriend. My lover she added with a smile remembering recent events.

Ein, as she had named him when she found him, had always been guarded which she understood, and had expected for someone who one day woke up not knowing who he was or where he was from. After time they had gotten closer and she had fallen for him. He was sweet and gentle, and built and able to fight; he was perfect she sighed in content.

He had often seemed confused as well. He felt that it was wrong to smile at time and stopped setting his face into an emotionless stare. He had also in the dojo while sparring pull moves that no one had seen before and disable his partner in seconds only to look at him with a blank stare.

She frowned.

She wanted him to get his memories back, but at the same time she didn't. Not only would getting his memories back take him from her, but deep down she had a feeling he was happier like this and that he was a bad person before.

Once he had broken a man's arm while sparring. Hitomi watched him block the punch in a typical Shotokan way and then suddenly shift his stance and in a second the man was on the floor in pain and Ein stood over him with a smirk on his face. Hitomi had seen the satisfaction in his eyes for a full second before it faded replaced by concern. She didn't like those eyes and for a second she knew she saw who he was.

And she didn't like it at all.

After that incident everything cooled down, he had forgotten it happened and Hitomi was content to sweep the incident under the rug. They had gotten along fine for a while, but they soon started to become more than friends and sparring partners. Her father had warned her about it, saying things like you don't know who he is, and he very well could leave when he finds out who that is but she felt deep down that he would always be hers.

Ein would always be hers.

Hitomi looked up when she felt a shadow cover her legs to see Ein standing there. She froze and her heart leapt into her throat. He was looking at her with those eyes. She stood with a smile but she felt her stomach start to churn.

Those eyes were so cold.

"Ein?"

"Hayate." He corrected without hesitation and she bit her lip. He knew who he was. That dangerous person she had seen in him and hoped would stay away forever was back and right in front of her and if anything happened there was no one here to help her.

"What happened?"

He told her she didn't need to know, but since she had been so nice to him and had taken her in he would tell her. It was Ryu who helped him regain his memories, more specifically, it was in a fight. She nodded and looked him up and down. Black books were replaced by sandals and his leather pants and jacket were gone, in its place was a white and blue garb.

"Who are you?"

He smirked at that and took a step closer to her.

"Ieto Hayate, a ninja, leader of the Mugen Tenshin clan,"

A ninja.

A shinobi.

A killer.

She looked into his cold eyes. They looked dead to her. He smirked and it sent shivers up her spine. He stepped closer and grabbed her wrist gently before gliding his fingers up her arm, she pulled it out of his reach.

"Stop Hayate."

"You let Ein touch you." He said in that low voice and she looked at him.

"You're not Ein."

"I am Ein, that's your name for me anyway." He said it as if it was flawless logic, and to him it was. Hitomi turned away from him.

"You have a home now, and therefore you have to leave and go there."

"You told me you were mine." He whispered into her ear possessively. "I don't just leave my things."

"Get out of here!" She suddenly shouted and stepped back into her stance.

"Hitomi!" Her father suddenly yelled, "is everything ok?"

"I'll see you tonight." Hayate finally said and disappeared leaving Hitomi alone in her backyard.

"Oh god…" She whispered. "help me…"

TDS: The story will not be a nice one. But I think it has some potential to be an interesting read. Let me know what you think.
