He was in love and he hated it. He hated how it made him feel, these emotions made him feel weak. He didn't want to feel weak he need to be stronger to realize his goal. But the memories of their youth before the incident happened were honestly the only happy thoughts he had left. But as graduation day approached he knew that he couldn't hold on to them anymore. He, Sasuke Uchiha was going to force himself to forget. He needed to forget everything he loved and cared about so he could embrace the pain and anger that would make him stronger. He knew that it was the only way to defeat him. But sadly his heart wouldn't let him, it desperately trying to hold on to her. The memories of happiness and love she brought him, how she didn't cared who he was, or what he did she loved him. Sasuke's heart wouldn't let him forget about Hinata Hyuuga and how much he loved her. He loved her kind nature, how she would blush when you got to close, how she smelled like lavender, her silky hair, and her cute stutter. But he knew he didn't deserve her or anyone, the path he had chosen was that of self destruction that would coast him his life. Even as they were both becoming ninja and placed on their respective teams he was determined to do what ever it took to get stronger.

Hinata Hyuuga was confused. She was always looked down on by her clan. The only people that seemed to care for her there was her sister and father but even then those were rare now a days. She was alone even with her so called team and friends she felt so alone. It seemed like no one cared anymore, but she hide it from everyone. She didn't want to bring anyone else down. But their was one person that she stilled counted on even if he didn't know it, yes he was her strength, her light everything and nothing. Sasuke meant more to her the anyone else, he was her life. She would watch him while he trained, and saw how he distanced himself from everyone. She didn't blame him for it, in fact she envied him for it. She wish she could be like him and keep going forward, getting stronger day by day. But she knew she couldn't, because if she did that then he would have no one to come back to. But that's what continued to confuse her, was he even going to come back? Before the incident when they were little they were happy and having fun. Back then they were always together hanging out not having a care in the world. She would give anything to have that Sasuke back, even her own life. Even now, as she watches him train on his own, at his limit, ready to pass out, but still going. The had set long ago and yet he was still training to become better than HIM. She hated HIM, he had caused Sasuke so much pain, destroyed everything he love from him, took HER Sasuke away. She made a promise to herself that she would help him no matter. She was brought out of her thoughts when she heard a thud, Sasuke had passed out. She looked into the sky and figured it was about midnight and smiled. She was finally going to be able to help him in some way. Even if it was just treating his wounds. She jumped down from her the tree she was in and walked towards Sasuke. As she approached him she couldn't help but let her mind wander. Back to the past, where they were both happy and didn't have a care in the world. She missed those days, and she wanted them back. It was then, as she stood over him preparing the justu to teleport them to his house. She made promise to him and herself, "I will always be by your side Sasuke! And no matter what happens I will never stop loving you." She finished the justu and they disappeared.

Sasuke was having the dream again, not a dream more like a nightmare. He was eight again and was watching his brother kill their entire clan. He was desperately trying to force himself awake, telling himself it was just a dream but it didn't help. He knew it wasn't real but the pain he was feeling surely wasn't fake. He felt all the other clan members pain, each death blow given to them he felt. He wanted, wished, begged for it to stop, but it never did. He was on his knees in pain, he could barely move anymore. He looked up to see his brother standing over with his cold crimson eyes dead on him. "Foolish little brother, you don't stand a chance against me…" He knelt down and looked him in his brothers eyes and finish his statement, "And you never will" He pulled out his sword and struck Sasuke with it. As Hinata treated his injuries she noticed that he was shaking. She knew he was having a nightmare, but didn't know what she should do to help. She wished she could take all the pain from him. She wanted to help him so badly it hurt. Then she remembered something that Sasukes mother did when they weren't feeling good. She held his hand and started to hum the song, it was low at first but it started to get louder with each memory that played in her head of their happiness. She didn't know it but she sounded like like Sasuke' mother when she sang. As he woke from his nightmare he was surprised. He was hearing his mothers song again. He knew she was dead, but he didn't know how it was possible that he was hear her sing to him. As his senses started to return to him he felt his hand was being held by someone. "And if you find yourself all alone, just remember one thing my love. No matter what I will always be there for you, and help you through everything" Those words, he remembered them but the voice was familiar but he couldn't remember it exactly. He slowly started to open his eyes he needed to see who this person was, he wanted to know who this angel was. When his eyes were open, he looked at his hand and followed the other arm to its owner. When he saw who it was he was shocked, the woman he was in love with was at his side helping him. He both wanted this and didn't want this. Before he could stop himself he said something he shouldn't have. "Hinata." She was surprised, he was awake . She was both happy and nervous. She stopped singing and looked at him, waiting for him to yell at her for helping him or something. But it never came, instead what came was something she wanted to hear but didn't know how to respond to it. "I love you."
