When Tea came to, she noticed that she was in a dark room, a room she didn’t recognize. Oh Kami, was she dead? Oh no, Sasuke and Hikari and Takuya they’re going to be heart broken. Sasuke, Sasuke needed her the most. Tea was the only grounding Sasuke had in order to keep him there in the village, and not seeking Orochimaru. Oh dear gods, she really was dead.
But when Tea stopped and breathed, she felt the soft sheets beneath her body. She was on a bed? The last thing she remembered was… the fight with Itachi. He must have knocked her out. She decided that the best option would be to wait until someone was in the room so she could force some information out of them. But being who she was, Tea stood up from the bed and walked forward. There had to be a door around here somewhere.
“Ouch, shit.” Okay she ran into something that was not a door, a desk maybe.
Okay, going forward, and still going forward. Bingo a knob, reaching for it she turned it finding it locked. Of course it is. But as soon as she heard a click she ran back towards the direction the bed was but ended up tripping on the same “desk” thing.
“Ouch. Damn it.” She muttered angrily and the light was switched on to find Itachi raising and eyebrow at her and a faint smirk gracing his lips.
Glaring at her captor she stood up and he walked right past her to the… well what do you know… it was a desk that her clumsiness tripped on, and grabbed a slip of paper and walked towards the door. So he was just going to leave her and not say a word? That made her highly upset.
“Itachi.”
He stopped his hand on the knob. After a long pause he turned around, and she kind of lost all of the anger, along with the words she was going to say to him.
“Why am I here?”
His silence and expression confused her. He seemed.. almost in pain but just as fast as that expression came across, his emotionless mask returned. And he left out of the door and locking her inside. Okay... what the hell?

“You totally love her. Why don’t you ask her out? Like as your girlfriend. She needs this; it’s not healthy for her to still be thinking about Itachi. And I’ve seen how she is with you. As much as she won’t admit it… You make her happy.” Hikari said to Takuya who just sighed and shook his head.
“I would just loooove to be hasty but with her I know I have to have patience. She was in love with Itachi who… well the bastard hurt her and Sasuke. And she apparently likes the “relationship” we have for right now. And after waiting for so long, I think I can afford to wait until she’s ready to move on from him.”
Takuya and Hikari were close friends and they both were concerned about Tea’s well-being. Lately she has been deep in thought, and nothing is wrong about that but a few days ago when they went to the club she drunk herself to sleep. And he wasn’t half lying about his being happy about their non-committing sex relationship, because... it was absolutely amazing. But he did want a real relationship, him taking her out on real dates, he being the one to care for her and claim her.
Hikari smiled knowingly, “Mhmm it’s killing you to wait. Everyone knows how you feel about her; you have to tell her when she gets back. Surprise her with a welcome home date. Despite her feistiness she is a sucker for romance.”
“I think I might just do that.” Hikari smiled and opened the door to a grinning Kotetsu.
“Hey babe,” he kissed her on the cheek. “Hey Takuya.”
Takuya nodded his head in his friend’s direction and stood up. “She should be home any day now and I am going to lay everything out. She deserves to have a happier life.”
