A Forbidden Love

I awoke with a start. An alarm sounded throughout the village. I went to my balcony searchlights and ANBU breezed past me. "What is going on?" Hanabi asked as she creaked open my door.
"I don't know." She wiped her eyes sleepily. She just returned from a string of missions that gave her little sleep. I helped her back to her and made sure she made it to the bed in one piece. I closed her door quietly so not to wake her back up. Neji stood in the hall in front of my door. I placed my fingers to my lips and motioned him to follow me into my room. "Neji, what's going on?"
He sat down sinking into my bed. "Well do you remember Sasuke Uchiha?" He settled down the bed and turned to me. I sat in front of my vanity.
"Yes, but what does he have to do with this?" I asked getting up and moving back onto my balcony.
"Well he has entered the village and he has not been seen since coming through the gate. I have to go help the search lock the doors and windows after I leave." Neji replied moving to my doorway. "Please keep safe cousin." He added as he disappeared into a pool of smoke. Neji is the only one that knows the truth about my feelings…ever since the chunnin exam we have gotten to the stage of best friends.

I ran for the largest building I could. The village has changed a lot since I left. Well I guess this will have to do for now. I saw the large wall just as the ANBU saw me. He threw his kunai just as I reached the top of the wall. It pierced my back just below my shoulder. I felt the kunai in my back the pain is causing my vision to become blurry. All I have to do is fall and hope that I am hidden by what lies beneath me. I leaned forward causing me to fall. I felt my head collide with a rock and then the darkness swarmed in around me.
I opened my eyes and attempted to sit up. Mistake; I felt the pain ripple through my body. Where am I anyway? I looked around: I'm on a bed that is trying to eat me; there is a balcony to my left, and a girl, with her back to me, standing in the doorway with a tray of food. My vision is still kind of fuzzy. And my head hurts. I instinctively touched my head. A bandage. I looked at my fingers; they had blood on them, my blood.
She looked at me and frowned. "It's not going to get any better if you keep messing with it." The girl said. I swear I know her. "And besides I thought you vowed never to return to the village after you well you know…" She added looking away from me. Why can't I remember her and what is she talking about…after I what?
"Umm….exactly who are you and who am I?" I asked grabbing her hand.

I looked into his onyx eyes. He looked into my soul. "Ummm….you must be hungry." I said messing with the food on the tray. I could see him looking me over trying to figure me out.
"I...I'm…I'm so sorry, Hinata…can you ever forgive me?" He asked. I collapsed onto his lap to hide the tears that were now falling from my face. I managed a nod before he began to stroke my hair. "Hinata you know that I am going to be sent to prison if I am found and then I'll never get to see you again…" He said softly.
"I know…I just…" It wasn't his fault that he left. The mess the Third Hokage caused…it is still getting bigger now. No one besides me knows the truth of the third's problems. Because he was the one that orchestrated that I was kidnapped by the cloud ninja as a small child so he could kill my uncle. "Sasuke…I…I can't bear to lose you again."
"Hinata…I don't want to lose you either." He said tilting my head to meet his. His lips touched mine and all my problems melted away. He pulled away leaving me breathless. A door opened downstairs. He looked at me.
"You have to go. The guest house out back no one ever uses it. Go now hurry." I whispered helping him to the balcony.
"Will you come to me tomorrow?" He asked after jumping down. I saw the pain flash across his eyes. I nodded.

I followed her instructions carefully and soon enough I found it. The house was starting to look rundown. The roof was starting to cave in on the porch. I opened the door and peered inside…dust and spider webs everywhere. Hinata wasn't kidding when she said that no one ever uses this place. I moved to the bedroom and collapsed. I overused my muscles running out to this place. I dragged myself onto the blanket and pulled the other one onto of myself.
I felt the sunlight hitting my face. I just could not move. I opened my eyes and sat up. Well it looks like I've got my work cut out for me. This place isn't going to clean itself…I just hope that no one comes out here poking around. I went to the kitchen to get some water and nothing came out of the pump. I kicked the sink. I grabbed the broom that was sitting in the corner and started batting spider webs off of the ceiling.
I heard the door slide. I jumped into the bathroom. "Sasuke-kun?" Hinata asked as she entered the kitchen. I poked my head back out into the kitchen. She jumped back in surprise. "Sasu-kun you nearly gave me a heart attack!" I walked over and embraced her in a hug.
"I'm sorry Hina-chan…I thought that you were someone else." I said as I stroked her hair. "So Hina-chan do you think you can help me out here." I added gesturing towards the spider webs and dust that clouded the air.
She grabbed a bucket and headed outside to get the water when the main door flew open. Neji stood in the doorway.

I walked back into the house and saw Neji staring at Sasuke. I looked between them…I had no options. "Neji-san please don't tell father. He…he was injured and I just wanted to help him recover and let him be on his way." I pleaded with Neji…I dropped to my knees and kissed his feet I was so desperate.
"Fine but as soon as he is recovered we turn him over to the ANBU." Neji said crossing his arms. He shook his head. He knew my feelings and for once he put my feelings in front of his duties. He turned and left without another word. Sasuke ran to me and hugged me.
I handed Sasuke the bucket of water and a rag I found outside. We got to work cleaning up the house. I felt like this was where I was supposed to be…alone with Sasuke in my own place. We finished around dusk. "Sasu-kun I have to go back to the main house now…Father will be wondering where I am." I said regrettably. He took my hands and helped me up. He kissed me as I left the house.
I walked into the main house with a smile and a crimson blush on my face. I kissed father on the cheek and headed up the stairs. "Neji what is up with her?" I heard him ask before I closed my door. I walked to my vanity and proceeded to brush my hair. I put my brush back and collapsed onto my bed. I heard a knock at my door Hanabi stood in the now open doorway.
"Sister who is the boy I saw last night?" She asked causing my world to stop.
