Okay so I own nothing of course except the plot that's about it. I'm trying out a new fan fiction so let me know what you think! I'm writing on the rest of my stories so be patient but this one will most likely be updated faster because its fresher in my mind lol. So erm review ^^
Hinata felt like she had been running for hours now when really, it had only been around 50 minutes and for a ninja, that were relatively nothing. Hinata stopped and held up one finger before she whispered Byakugan intensely. Behind her, she saw her two-team mates and that was all. They were in the clear for now but that could change at a moment's notice. She knew that rogue Nin were now delving into darker jutsu who knew maybe they would find a way past the Byakugan one of these days. Dropping out of the tree, she was in Hinata sighed glad that she was finally able to rest.
"Are we going to stop here for a rest Hinata-chan?" Ino asked as she and Ten-Ten dropped from their trees to the ground joining Hinata.
"Hai, we might as well. I see nothing wrong with…" She stopped suddenly and in a flash of metal she launched a kunai into a nearby tree. Ten-Ten and Ino were on edge instantly readying their selves for battle. "Show yourself." Hinata said her opal eyes narrowed as she stared the tree down. Neji smirked and dropped down to the forest from a kunai in his hands, the very same one that Hinata had thrown. Hinata threw her hands up in the air and groaned. Ino and Ten-Ten both gave her sympathetic looks. They understood what she was going through. They were helping her train for the jounin exams coming up in their spare time. Everyone Hinata knew was now a jounin or higher except Chouji who chose to quit the Ninja ways and become a chef.
"You did good Hinata-sama had I not used my own Byakugan that would have hit me." Neji said honestly. Over the years, their relationship had grown to where he almost loved her as a cousin. Ten-Ten nodded agreeing with Neji.
"I couldn't have done it better myself Hinata-chan." Ten-Ten said giving her two thumbs up and a big cheerful smile. Ino nodded adding her own agreement. Hinata thanked them for their compliments with a gentle blush. She was not the same girl anymore but still some habits were hard to break such as blushing. All too soon Neji and Ten-Ten had to leave and Ino said she needed to go home to Naruto who was black and blue from his latest escapade with Jiraiya. Hinata knew that Ino didn't know how Hinata felt a sting in the heart every time she thought of the two blondes together. Instead, she kept it all inside hiding it from her best friend. Sighing Hinata began to target practice.
Something caught Hinata's senses in the middle of it all and she activated her Byakugan quickly and silently. She gasped seeing someone behind her about three yards away. Spinning around she barely registered the face in her mind before she hit the ground immobilized. They had hit her with unbelievable speed and precision using a jutsu she hadn't ever heard of. A single pair of eyes ghosted around her thoughts. They were dark, hollow, and pained as if something were physically jabbing a knife in their side continuously.
He probably has a battle wound of some sort. Hinata thought before she gave up trying to overcome the dark that was settling in. It was then that Hinata felt the sensation of being lifted up and she was off the ground being charted away. Panic filled her insides as she heard a grunt then the slam of a door. She was now trapped somewhere, paralyzed, in complete darkness with Uchiha Sasuke.
For three days Hinata laid where Sasuke had put her down like this listening to everything around her including the ongoing storm that never seemed to end. She could feel and hear but other than that nothing. For the first day and a half she heard Sasuke mumbling to himself and cursing someone as he moved about the little cabin they were in. He is probably talking about the battle he was in, that is probably why I sensed that he was in so much pain. They either died trying to kill him or he ran away….I guess he killed someone. Hinata thought trying to open her eyes again. There was darkness everywhere confusing Hinata. She could open her eyes why wasn't she seeing anything. Blindfolded! Hinata realized growling out. By the end of the second day Hinata no longer heard Sasuke mumble or move around the cabin which frightened her. It was then that she slowly began to try and move the different parts of her body. By day three she could move every limb but her eyes were still blind folded.
Moving her hand up with pain she pulled the blind fold off. There was a small lamp lit in the room illuminating it softly. Lightning crashed outside and Hinata saw a figure in the corner. Hinata drew back quickly falling to the ground from where she was. Groaning she looked over at the figure in the corner. It was still there unmoving. Picking up the lamp she crawled over to it. He was there in all his glory, Sasuke Uchiha slouched in the corner unmoving eyes shut lips blue as water.
Gasping Hinata hurried towards him ignoring her own pain. Slowly she began to hoist him up and drag him towards the bed she had been laying in. True he had kidnapped her but she couldn't just leave him there after all he hadn't killed her and he had to very chance to. In fact he hadn't done anything to her at all… Medic skills kicking in Hinata tore his soaked clothes off of him. She gasped seeing all of the cuts and bruises along his ribs chest and arms. One cut was particularly deep, nasty and slightly yellow. Glad that Sasuke had grabbed her bag she pulled out some of her herbal salves she had made. Rubbing them on his wounds softly and gently she lifted him up and wrapped his wounds before quickly wrapping him in one blanket like a cocoon around him before covering him with another. His body was on fire with fever making Hinata slightly nervous. She flitted about the little cabin throwing together a vegetable soup with what little materials she had. Sasuke need liquids now more than anything. She just hoped that he wouldn't wake up anytime soon. If he did it might make things a bit more difficult on her.
Sasuke woke up as soon as Hinata touched him. In his mind he was screaming at her telling her to stop touching him but he couldn't say anything couldn't move. He wanted to flinch under her cool fingers as she put the salve on him but his muscles weren't working right. The soup wafted into his senses and his throat burned for some. He hadn't eaten in a week. Hinata lifted Sasuke up and he tensed slightly before soup was tipped into his mouth. It was warm and delicious. He couldn't swallow it though and the girl knew it and rubbed his throat making it go down. They repeated this for a while and Sasuke's body slowly heated up. He knew he could open his eyes now and could swallow on his own but he didn't let the girl in on this.
Hinata finally stopped feeding Sasuke when he had eaten two whole bowls of the soup. Getting up she moved to get herself some. Sasuke opened his onyx eyes watching her every move. He knew who she was that much he was sure of but it just didn't click. Feeling eyes on her Hinata turned around and met Sasuke's murderous glare. She gasped softly her eyes widening. Sasuke then realized who she was exactly. Hinata turned her eyes away from him hearing him mutter a stupid girl she narrowed her eyes. Giving it another thought she let it go and sat down eating her soup. His 'stupid girl' had just turned into a Thank you.
For a week the two of them repeated the same thing. She went out gathered up some things to make soups with and fed Sasuke before cleaning his wounds and rewrapping them. Sasuke watched her with angry eyes every time she did. He didn't like being treated like a child though for now there was nothing he could do about it. Hinata had cut off all of his chakra point every night so he would actually lay down and rest. After the first night she caught him trying to get up and that was when she did it the first time. After day four Hinata began to talk to Sasuke in a kind voice. She didn't know if he would talk back to her but she tried it anyway.
"You know Uchiha-san the Festival of the Moon is in two weeks. It's going to be so beautiful with firecrackers imported from China." She said to him letting him have a drink of water. "The boys are supposed to ask girls who are special to them to go with them but, I don't think a boy will ask me so I'll go by myself." Hinata said cheerfully putting on a big fake grin. Sasuke's eyes narrowed slightly as he watched her. What is she talking about? She is decent enough I suppose, I bet guys with lower standards would love to ask her out especially the dobe if he is over Sakura yet. Sasuke thought to himself. "Ano, I have a question for you Uchiha-san. I know you might not answer it but I'd like you to at least think about it. Why did you kidnap me when…"
"Sasuke." He said cutting her off mid sentence shocking her into silence. Hinata looked at him in confusion. Was his brain damaged? "My name is Sasuke not Uchiha-san and I kidnapped you because at the time it was the safest thing for me to do." He told her looking away from her and out the window. Hinata said oh softly understanding. Sasuke waited for the question he knew would come sooner or later. She would ask him how he got so hurt and he wouldn't answer her. She should mind her business anyway and not be nosy like Sakura and other girls he had met in his time. Hinata simply shrugged and turned away to mix up a mushroom soup. Time ticked by and Sasuke was confused which made him angry. He shouldn't ever be confused not he Sasuke Uchiha the last Uchiha finally.
"Aren't you going to ask me what happened?" Sasuke finally ask with bite in his voice swinging his eyes over to the girl who looked up at him slowly blinking as she did.
"Why would I do that?" Hinata asked Sasuke curiously. "What ever has happened in Uchi…Sasuke-san's life is not my business and it is not my place to ask." She said with politeness. One thing being a Hyuuga had taught her is that you should always respect other people's privacy and one thing being friends with Ino taught her is to respect it unless you know they want to share.
"Well that's good because I hate nosy people they irritate me." Sasuke said trying to mask his surprise. Hinata just nodded at him stirring the soup calmly. She had an eerie feeling that Sasuke really wanted her to ask about it. She wouldn't though she would wait for him to crack and tell her about it. Inside she was bursting to know. From what she had got from his ramblings when she was in the bed it was a fight that he had been waiting awhile for.
"Are you allergic to mushrooms of any sort Sasuke-san?" Hinata asked him looking up at Sasuke who glared at her. He had been in deep thought.
"I am not allergic to anything." He retorted. Hinata rolled her eyes slightly. Let's get rid of the ego trip Mister. I put something in here that will make you suffer more than an allergic reaction ever could. She thought to herself but she knew inwardly that she could never be that mean to someone even if they were as self centered and rude as Sasuke was.
"Well, do you like mushrooms Sasuke-san?" She asked him slicing up some red ones that she knew weren't poisonous. Under Tsunade's watchful and great eye she had learned of all the poisonous plants and how to use them skillfully to cure or kill people. It also gave her helpful tips on which ones she could cook. Sasuke grunted at her in reply and she rolled her eyes at him. He would eat it anyway. He might not like the position he was in but he never wasted any of the food that Hinata made.
Three hours later Hinata had Sasuke propped up and had let him have chakra back in his right arm and hand so he could feed himself. It was getting tiresome feeding him all the time. Hinata ate her own soup slowly ignoring how Sasuke ate his watching her. He was trying to figure her out. Why hadn't someone burst in yet and taken him back to Kohona? Surely they were looking for the Hyuuga heiress unless her sister had become it instead. She had been very weak the last time he seen her but that was 8 years ago.
"I killed them both. Orochimaru was first the bastard wasn't even human anymore. Then I went looking for my brother. He's the reason that I have all of the wounds that I do. He, was not the victor though I was and I have finally avenged my clan." Sasuke said suddenly to Hinata. Hinata looked up with wide eyes. Sasuke had killed one of the legendary Sannin? He must have strength beyond anyone's comprehension. Though people had been saying that Sakura, Naruto, and Sasuke were all the next line of Sannin.
"Does that make you feel any better? Knowing that you killed them both?" Hinata asked without thinking about it. She covered her mouth quickly looking at Sasuke with wide eyes. She usually didn't just say things like that. Sasuke narrowed his eyes at her when she asked.
"Yes, it does because for years I had to live with both of them tormenting me. Orochimaru wanting to steal my body and my brother…" He stopped there turning his head away from her in his angst way. "Why hasn't anyone come for you yet?" Sasuke asked Hinata steering the subject away from it all. He didn't want to think about his brother not after what his brother had told him… Hinata shrugged her dainty shoulders under her big coat.
"Maybe they have and just haven't found this place yet." She pointed out playing with one of her zippers nonchalantly. "I suppose after I didn't return the first day my father sent a search party out, probably because of Neji at that." Hinata said thinking about it herself. Sasuke arched an eyebrow looking at her.
"You mean the Hyuuga that tried to kill you during the chuunin exams so long ago?" Sasuke asked her snorting a little. "Are you all buddy buddy now and he's not a deranged psycho path?" He asked laughing cynically.
"Your one to talk!" Hinata snapped at him. "You went out on your own to kill your BROTHER leaving everyone who cared for you here not to mention twice you tried to kill your best friend who would have gladly helped you with your mission." She said standing up with fire in her eyes. She had seen the toll it took on Naruto from watching him when she was 'in love'.
"Don't you dare talk to me like that little girl I'll snap you like a twig." Sasuke threatened her as soon as she yelled at him. It had taken him by surprise but he wouldn't let anyone talk to him like that.
"Don't you insult my cousin then besides at the moment you can't do anything with no chakra." Hinata added before she quickly shut down the rest of his chakra point's she had reopened. "You have no room to talk." She added turning away from him not caring as his soup fell from his hand splattering all over him. Sasuke glowered at Hinata ignoring the burning sensation he was receiving now because of the soup. She would heal those to he knew but as soon as he regained his chakra he would make her pay for it all.
Hope you all like it!
