Chapter One: Encounter

The moon was jus at the apex of the night when Hinata hesitated in her

tracks. She was just coming back home from visiting her cousin, Neji,

at the Sand village, when she heard the faintest rustle in the woods to

the left of her. Continuing on her way as if nothing happening Hinata

kept walking, then quickly threw a kunai in to the direction of the

noise.

"You should come out I know you're there Sasuke," Hinata said

stoically, never changing her pace.

Out of the corner of her eye Hinata could see Sasuke walk out of the

darkness into the moonlight holding the kunai she threw. Hinata tried

her best not to notice the way his hair shined in the light and kept

her face emotionless as he started walking next to her.

"You've gotten good Hinata. You nearly hit me," Sasuke claimed

indifferently.

"I wasn't trying to hit you Sasuke, just the tree next to you," Hinata

stated. If she had been looking at Sasuke she would have saw the flash

of amusement and slight shock go across his face but instead she was

staring straight ahead.

"You have seemed to become a stronger ninja Hinata."

"Yes Sasuke I have. I'm not the same stuttering girl that I was

before." Hinata stated changing her course so she could find a place to

rest for the night. "May I ask, why are you doing here so close to the

village. If anyone finds out you're here they will try to capture you.

You know very well that Naruto has never stopped his mission to take

you back."

"Yes I know that but there is something I need to do before I can

leave."

"And what would that be Sasuke?"

"That is something for me to know and you to never find out," Sasuke

said jokingly.

"So the stoic Sasuke does have a sense of humor," Hinata exclaimed with

a smirk.

"One ocassion yes. Now may I ask Hinata, why haven't you tried to

capture me since I'm right here?" Sasuke asked curiously.

Hinata quickly turned around to face Sasuke, surprising him a bit and

explained, "Because I think it's hopeless to try. I know you will come

back when you are ready." Hinata turned back and continued her route.

"So there is still a little bit of the the old Hinata in you," Sasuke

observed, his usual monotone voice back in place.

"I never said she was gone Sasuke." Hinata stated simply and stopped.

Before them was a waterfall that Hinata knows very well. She used to

always come here when she was younger when she needed to be alone. She

slowly walked to the water and kneeled down placing her hand in the

water feeling the same comfort she used to get.

Knowing Sasuke wad staring at her she didn't didn't allow herself to

get to comfortable and stood up walking to a patch of soft grass and

sat down to rest.

"You can sit if you want to Sasuke."

Sasuke sleekly sat right next to Hinata, not missing the way she

stiffened as he did.

They both sat in a surprisingly comfortable silence until Sasukes

curiousity broke it.

"How is life at the village?"

"A lot has changed since you left. Naruto and Sakura started dating not

long after their last attempt to capture you and they recently got

married." Hinata stopped to allow Sasuke to say anything. When he

didn't she continued, "Kiba and Kankuro have started dating, much to

the dislike of Kiba's family, and Neji has married Gaara, he's living

with him now at the Sand Village." Hinata chuckled slightly at Sasukes

look of shock that was placed on his face. "Yes, everyone has seemed to

find love since you left, Sasuke." Hinata stated.

"How about you Hinata?" Sasuke asked after some silence.

Hinata was caught off guard by the question but didn't let it show, "I

haven't found anyone yet. It's not that I haven't been asked out, but

that I never have time to go out. My life has been pretty busy."

"What are you doing that keeps you from doing anything?"

"Now Sasuke, that is something for me to know and you to never find

out."

Sasuke did something that Hinata thought she would ever see. He smiled.

Not a sinister smile but an actual genuine smile. Hinata couldn't help

but smile back. Hinata was so absorbed in the fact that he was smiling

that she didn't see that he was leaning closer to her until their faces

were only centimeters away. Hinata stopped smiling and actually started

to blush, something she hadn't done in years.

"S-Sasuke what are y-you doing?" Hinata asked, cursing herself for

stuttering. 'How is he doing this to me? I haven't blushed or stuttered

since I gotten over my crush on Naruto.'

Sasukes only answer was to capture her lips in her own. Hinata tried to

pull away but he quickly grabbed her arms not letting her leave. She

couldn't break free and, surprising both of them, she started to kiss

back. This only encouraged Sasuke and he started to pull at her

clothes. Hinata didn't even falter and started to pull at his clothes

too. Soon all their clothes were thrown all across the ground.
