I don't own Naruto.

LLOONNGG TTTIIMMMEEE! I know. Life and issues. Not very long but I did want to sort of bring some closure to some stuff and get you wondering again. By the way, does anyone know if Naruto has finally been completed? The site I was going to keeps crashing on my computer. Thanks guys and sorry again for the delay.

Chapter Fifteen – You are Me

At Hinata's home the outside of the house shook a little and within her living room appeared Itachi and everyone. Even the bodies of Naruto and Kiba were saved.

Sakura, Ten-Ten, Hanabi and Neji all were in shock as they tried to figure out what was going on and why he hadn't killed them yet. Itachi gradually became human again and reaching out to Hinata he began to cry.

Please…open…your eyes.

He thought as he cradled her body in his arms. Sasuke moaned as he became conscious with the sizzling feeling of something on his palms.

Hinata's hair was now halfway her ear in a messy bob. Long bangs hid some of her face, but Itachi brushed it to the side. His soul was a wreck.

I…told…you…

Her thoughts whispered before she spoke…

"I won't ever leave your side." She said coming to.

He hugged her tightly, muffling his sobs. The slayers sat still in bewilderment. Neji finally passed out from his injuries. Hinata pull from Itachi rather alarmed.

"No! I can help." She crawled over to him and Itachi simply covered his face with his hands.

Hinata gripped his leg above the cut where he was dismembered and within minutes a bright light from her hands flowed all over her and then to Neji. Hinata took a deep breath and opened her eyes wide. When the light grew brighter the other slayers looked away but when the light went out Neji had his leg and all his injuries were now gone.

I..did…it…

Hinata thought happily.

She turned to look at the other slayers as Neji moaned when she realized Hanabi was familiar. They frowned first and then sat in front of each other searching each other's faces and their memories when finally it hit her.

"You…you…are…my dead sister." Hinata croaked and Neji sat up trying to focus as Itachi checked on Sasuke.

Hanabi's eyes teared and Hinata brushed a stray hair behind her ear. At the moment of contact they felt a small spark.

"You…you…it…can't be…" Said a shocked Neji . He scooted closer to the girls on his knees. The three looked at each other and finally they broke down in tears with a grand hug of remembrance.

"I…I…thought…."
"We…we…are so proud that…that…Oh Hinata!"
Neji and Hanabi could not contain themselves and Sakura and Ten Ten didn't understand.

"Wait just a minute? How is this possible?"
Hinata pulled from their embrace and noticed Sakura and Ten-Ten were badly injured also.

"Well first things first my guardian angel." She smiled to Sakura. Standing to her feet Hinata placed her hands on Sakura's shoulders and from her core she let her healing power flow through to her. In moments Sakura was healed. Hinata walked to Ten-Ten and Hanabi also healing them.

"That is amazing. Your gift is God given and…"
"No…it's hell given."
A monotone Itachi said while walking over to the group with Sasuke beside him.

"There's nothing God given about this gift and she is certainly not going to get involved with you anymore." The bitterness he felt for Sakura and the others was quickly calmed when Hinata touched his arm.

Please…there's too much to talk about now to keep up the anger. Beloved…please.

Her gentleness stroked his soul and the urge to fight was vanquished quickly. But it only led him to feel anguish. Sasuke rustled his hair before speaking.

"Look, I know there's so much shit that just went down I need answers from everyone and a drink. So what say we call a truce and talk about what just happened? We need to know why the hell I got flaming symbols in the palms of my hands and there are two corpses still traveling with us."

Hinata spun around and certainly Naruto and Kiba lay on the ground. Sakura ran to them fighting back the urge to cry but she felt Hinata lay her hand on her shoulder.

"I need you." She said while stretching her hand out and holding onto Kiba. In moments she began to heal him but she could feel the presence of Raki's soul within the venom in his body.

Release him vile creature and repent!

Her thought made Itachi snap his head around and his fangs came down. Hinata's eyes turned red and she bent down to latch onto Kiba's neck. The sound of her drinking from his blood sickened the others, but made Itachi feel slightly aroused. Sasuke gagged.

Sakura felt a burning sensation where Hinata held her and stared at her quietly until Kiba took a strained inhale. The slayer was completely healed and the venom was gone. Hinata stepped over him and did the same to Naruto yet she released Sakura and Itachi felt nauseas holding his stomach while it churned.

When Naruto gasped before coughing she let him go and stood to her feet wiping some of the blood from her mouth and licking it off her hand.

The group watched her suspicisouly.

Hinata felt ill now and she wobbled a little. Itachi walked to her side letting his hands find her waist and drawing her a little closer. Their energy intermingled in a strange reaction causing both to feel slightly ill but soon she felt the sickness go away. Itachi glared into her crimson eyes with solemn orbs of tremendous pain.

"You…are…now…me."
