My faint heartbeat

Night slowly approached as Sasuke strolled through the forest.

It was strangely quiet. A sort of depressing silence.

He had an uneasy feeling in the pit of his stomach as if something horrible was going to happen. Something about this part of the forest made him want to turn and run.

There was only one thing stopping him from doing so.

Sasuke Uchiha never ran.

He went a little farther but stopped in his tracks when he came upon a body crumbled in a heap on the ground in the distance.

Blood pooled form beneath them.

It was unclear if it was a girl or boy.

For the young Uchiha this was a normal everyday occurrence.

People were attacked and left for dead all the time in the Konaha forest.

He was just about to continue on his way when a slight moan emerged from the bloody mess.

It was faint, barely noticeable but still he heard it.

He didn't know why he didn't just leave them.

They were probably going to die anyway.

Maybe it was the fact that guilt would tug at his conscience if he left a living person to die. Or maybe he was just curious.

Whatever it was, was slowly causing him to move towards the body.

As he moved closer he could clearly see that the figure sprawled on the ground was a woman.

It was only when he was towering over her was when he realized exactly who the woman was.

Dark midnight blue hair, frail frame, pale face, full pink lips. This woman was none other than.

Hinata Hyuuga
