I really shouldn't be making another story, but I suddenly felt like writing this after listening to EXO's Baby Don't Cry.

Disclaimer: I do not own Naruto. Otherwise, Hinata and Sasuke would have already made beautiful prodigy ninja babies that would ultimately rule the universe for being beautiful and talented with the Byakugan and Sharingan.

Somewhere under the sea, where the fish are happy, and live together in harmony abiding by the laws of the Sea Kingdom – the Hyuga Kingdom – lives a curious princess, the heiress to the Kingdom's throne.

"Tell me again, Neji, the stories of your adventures on land." The heiress asked dreamily to her cousin.

"For the last time, Lady Hinata, I wasn't on land, I've just seen the surface." He said, reading old books in the palace's library. "I don't see why you're so fascinated by the land. It isn't special at all, and not nearly as beautiful as the Sea Kingdom."

"It's an adventure, Neji!" Hinata had been a curious little fish since the day she was born. It was perhaps why she was deemed so unfit to become the heiress to the throne. She was more of the human part of her than the fish part. "I want to hear about the people! All about walking!"

Neji sighed and retold his stories of the sights he had witnessed when he used to venture to the surface. He had once felt resentment for the Main house in the Hyuga Kingdom, he would swim to the surface as a way to be away from the sea world that seemed to remind him of his deceased father. Now however, he didn't want his younger cousin to have anything to do with the land roamers. He loved her deeply and would do anything to protect her, but even more so, he'd do anything to make her happy.

"Hinata." Neji and Hinata turned their heads to see the King, Hiashi, enter the library with a stern face. "I told you to stop pestering Neji about the damned land folk, hadn't I? It's time for your studies."

"Father, could I please just swim to the surface? I'll get an escort or something!" Hinata pleaded with the cutest face she could pull. Unfortunately for her, that only worked if she was Hanabi. The look on his face said it all.

Hiashi exited leaving a defeated Hinata to frown. She was of age soon, eighteen years old by the end of the year, to swim to the surface. She was determined to do so. She was tired of feeling like she had to obey her father's every command, she wanted to be her own being. Turning to Neji with a determined look on her face, Neji shook his head.

"You will not, and I will not aid this ridiculous journey." He hissed. "You're not even old enough yet."

"It's only a few more months, I'm pretty much eighteen." Hinata argued. "If you don't help, I'll go on my own." Hinata stormed out hearing Neji calling after her. She swam out of the palace, sneaking past her father and guards, swimming full speed up to the surface to finally satisfy her curiosity.

On the surface there was an open sky, just like Neji had said but it seemed to be dark and grey unlike the array of oranges, pinks, and yellows that Neji had described. Rain… Hinata thought. She swam over to an enormous rock by the shore, and enjoyed the feeling of the air against her usually wet skin. It was absolutely refreshing! The look of sand, and the beach was sure to be mesmerizing under that beautiful sky that Neji had described. She could stay up there forever, but she knew it was time she went back down so not to get into too much trouble.

The loud sound of a crash caught her attention just as she was about to slip back down into the sea. There she saw it! The orange, and yellow, and pink that looked red. She wanted to see it for herself but when she got there, all she saw was chaos. There was burning wood, screaming people and red that stained the surface of the blue waters. The rain began to pour but the burst of reds and oranges wouldn't go away.

Hinata looked toward the ignited ship only to see a man plummet into the water as another had…done something that she wasn't familiar with. She didn't know what it was, but by the way it sounded, it didn't sound pleasant. Swimming forward, she felt inclined on helping the fallen man.

The ship rocked gently as the passengers danced and feasted. It was the prince's bachelor party yet for some reason there was a whole entourage of people on the ship – more than the expected four he had originally invited. The prince didn't like parties, at least not with people he could care less about.

"Hey bastard, why aren't you in there drinking your heart out?" asked his best friend, Naruto. "It's your bachelor party, you're supposed to enjoy yourself. You're getting married to Sakura for crying out loud!"

Sasuke didn't see why his friend seemed to like the girl so much. She was good looking, he'd give her that – an exotic look with her emerald eyes and pink hair – but aside from that, she was rather annoying. She failed to amuse him in anything she did, she was uninteresting, and he didn't even like her in the first place. This was all so that the Uchiha Kingdom and the Senju Kingdom would have strong ties once more as it had with his great grandfather Madara and the Senju leader Hashirama. He had everything he could ever need, and settling down with a woman who at least seemed to love him seemed fine by him.

"Idiot, just get back in there with whoever you randomly invited onto my ship, and do whatever you were doing." Sasuke sighed, shaking his head as he went over to lean over the railing. He looked back to see his other three friends – Shikamaru, Gaara and Kiba – approaching.

"Whaddya mean?" Naruto seemed genuinely confused. "I only invited Sai, Iruka and Kakashi. You guys?" he asked the others.

"I invited Chouji and Asuma." Shikamaru said flatly.

"I invited Shino, Lee and Kankuro." Kiba shrugged.

"You invited my imbecile brother?" Gaara asked looking over at Kiba. Kiba shrugged again. "I didn't invite anyone, I thought it was a guy's night out on the sea."

"Then…who are the others?" Sasuke asked, turning around slowly to face his troupe of friends. He looked over to Shikamaru who sighed out a 'what a drag'. "You planned my bachelor party, and let strangers onto my ship?"

"Calm down, Sasuke. I'm sure there's a perfectly logical explanation as to why this happened." Naruto tried to reason weakly. "People probably invited each of their friends." There were screams heard from the inside dance area. Within seconds there were passengers fleeing towards them and the sound of gunfire.

"Everyone calm down!" Sasuke ordered in a tone louder than his usual voice. "Guys, get everyone to life boats!"

An explosion went off in the front of the ship causing the sinking to commence. Sasuke watched as people boarded the life boats, escaping in the nick of time. He slipped and held onto a railing but the boat was sinking fast. Looking up, he saw one of the perpetrators holding him at kunai point. "This is for my father." Sasuke heard the man scream through his mask. The only way to avoid a vital shot was to let go, but would he survive the fall? Just as he watched the man rev his arm back to send the kunai flying down, Sasuke let his hand slip only hearing a ringing noise in his ears as another explosion went off, and the faint sound of Naruto screaming his name.

Everything after that was a blur. He had taken the blade to his shoulder, and felt like he was sinking deeper and deeper into the sea. As he began to lose consciousness, he finally let go and accepted his fate.
