A/N: Hello! I couldn't take this out of my head until I type it down and post here. I'd like to hear anyone's opinion about it! Should I continue it?

Everyone has their own opinions :] I hope we respect each other. Sasuke and Hinata pairing is one of my favorite pairings in Naruto. Grammar edited by Nicha. Thank u imouto-san! I hope u all enjoy^^ Please feel free to leave reviews, ideas and advices! :D

Disclaimer: I do NOT own this anime/manga and its characters except for this storyline that suddenly popped out in my head.

Full Summary: Sasuke Uchiha is a man who was well-known in the criminal world and yet unknown in the outside, normal world. None of his victims could ever escape from him. Not, until one time... What would happen when his and this very shy and forgiving normal girl, Hinata Hyuuga's world collide with each other? Will she also just become one of his victims? Or would it be... the opposite this time?

Rated T for now. May change later.

Warning: Some not-so-good scene of killing.

Prologue:

Dark and Light

Nightfall was always the best time for him. Slaughtering his prey in the profound darkness never failed to send sharp sensations of thrill down his spine, together with the mad adrenaline rush in his very veins as blood gets diverted to his braced, rippling muscles. It was excitement, the sensation he always loved.

Slowly, his shadow crawled along the walls and the streets as he walked at his own normal pace. It was normal for him, but too fast for his prey. He enjoyed seeing the coward creatures wasting their energies trying to escape from him. Funny. And yet, he wouldn't laugh.

With an impassive face, he slowly took out his sword that was clinging on his back. The sound of the blade sliding against its sheath as it was slowly being pulled out was the only soft and yet sharp sound audible in such a bleak night.

The prey was still running, its pale face bleached with apparent fear despite the dimness of surroundings. Its eyes were stretched so wide that it almost seemed as though the eyeballs would drop out from its socket. Tears were welling as its mouth gaped open, allowing saliva to spill out as it ran as quickly as it could, eyes screaming desperately for help.

Sasuke Uchiha wasn't normal. His strength, reflexes, and other abilities were inhumane. If he was a normal criminal, the prey would have stood a chance of escaping but unfortunately, it would be its last day today.

As the prey turned left at a corner, it immediately came to a halt with a sudden realization that its life could soon cease to exist. The predator, Sasuke, stood there with eyes glowing bright red in the shroud of darkness. His sword was in his right hand, unsheathed. Then having no chance to scream, the prey's head flew out from its neck. Burning blood spurted, gushing out into the air and splattered onto the wall and the ground.

The smell of fresh blood made Sasuke smirk. The tingling sensation lifted up his spirits as he swayed the sword quickly enough to remove the blood that was smeared on the blade. The red substance languidly dripped from the tip of the sharp blade, creating a small pool around the corpse.

"Hm. Nothing entertaining," Sasuke mumbled flatly.

This was Sasuke Uchiha. The man who was well-known in the darkness, criminal world and yet unknown in the outside, normal world where he existed only to feed on his lust for blood and crave for the screams of his victims. The unknown predator living together with his innocent preys.

The man who insisted on living in the darkness. He was the shadow itself. Hidden, distant and yet, the nearest creature that was stuck within oneself.

Darkness and Light. The only two options wherein people could decide whether they'd entrust their souls to the evil or to the good.

Sanctuary wasn't an option. Such a heavenly place was never an option.

Because no one lives in truth..

No one lives in a perfect life..

A person would choose to either live in a cruel state being the bad man or live in a good way by pretending. Pretending to have good intentions but at the same time being full of dirty thoughts, full of greed and full of lies.

Conscience. There could be few of them who'd have soul of purity.

Who'd have try living in reality even if it is harsh..

Who'd have try following the right path that they think is right..

But once the pureness of white gets tainted with black, it wouldn't turn back to normal. It will take lots of attempts to erase the dirt and when it succeeds, it wouldn't even be done well enough to regain the purity that it once had.

Chances. Most of people think that everyone deserves second chances.

And the question; Why not? After all, human beings are human beings, nothing changed in that fact.

The fact that people lives with sins..

The fact that people makes the same mistakes over and over..

And the fact that human beings don't deserve perfection..

It was the reality that seemed different even for this lavender gray-eyed young lady.

Hinata Hyuuga's whole being contradicted some of these harsh truth. Her being itself could be the savior of so, so many tainted souls.

Hinata was innocently pure. She never doubts, never blames, never cheats and never accuses anyone. Nor did she ever steal anything that she knew wasn't hers. Be it materials, be it attention of anyone. She knew her limits. She was forgiving. She barely got mad. And when she did, a simple apology from the perpetrator was all it would take for her to soften again.

She was clean. Her soul, her love. There was a truth in her.

But.. she was also no more than a human being. She was not perfect. Nor did she want to be. She was a failure. Or so she would always think.

She lacked self-confidence. She lacked trust in herself. Which only led to mistakes, and eventually, to regret. She may be a body of lies but the lack of pride within her. For a mere human being like her. This was her imperfection.

SO how was it? I hope it turned out ok.. I'm sorry for posting new story again T^T I will still update the other fics of course! x] I can manage!(I will manage) :]

Have good days and good nights everyone!

COMMENT FROM my editor Nicha:

I LOVE your second part! Nee-san, u know I have read a lot of books, right? but! Ur second part, about Hinata is like nothing I have read about! It's actually something NEW to me. So, it would be great if u carry on about the deep emotions etc :D I really look forward to see the things about her ^^

The first part about Sasuke is also great, but of course improvements on descriptions have no limitations=] I know it's hard, I struggle with that too ^^ U'll just have to try and make it as effective as possible! Good luck!
