Kyoko: So this was inspired by a dream I had a couple weeks ago, so enjoy it, read and review.

---------------------

It was late at night in Konohagakure of the fire country, the moon is shining brightly in the midnight sky, starts littered the heaves and a peaceful breeze drafted through the small room through the now opened window, Sharingan eyes scanned the room and a small smile graced the features of the young man who trust passed into a room not his own.

His eyes searched the room for only a brief moment before he found what he was looking for, a petite girl lay in her bed deeply asleep, she lay on her side looking quite lovely, dark navey-blue bangs framed her face in an almost angelic manner, her blanket only covered her waist up, it didn't cover her sleek well toned legs, Sasuke stared at the bottom half of her body for a while before going closer to her, he smiled again, she really had gotten even more beautiful from the last time he saw her. Sasuke ran his finger tips across the leg that was closest to him; he couldn't resist the urge to touch her.

She didn't awake from his gentle touch but she stirred slightly, Sasuke began stroking her legs, taking the utmost care as if afraid he might harm her.

She's so soft…

Hinata suddenly let out a content sigh, seeming to enjoy the touch she was receiving from the Uchiha Avenger, his smiled widened ever so slightly. He was now sitting on the edge of her bed but she still did not wake, some ninja… She looked as if she felt completely at peace, like she was happy. Sasuke then noticed her long hair, it was sprawled across her bed, it was like a beautiful waterfall of deep indigo, he wondered when she had started growing it out, he sighed somewhat, he pondered, how much of her life did he miss?

True, Uchiha Sasuke and Hyuuga Hinata were not that close, but they were friends to some extent, they even talked every once in a while. He wanted to know how she reacted when he left the village, did she care? Did she notice? Was she worried? Sasuke may seem to be an emotionless cold icebox but over the years he had developed feelings for the young heiress, feelings he had for her alone.

Sasukes thoughts however were unable to continue as he found soft lovely lavender eyes staring at him and blinking in confusion, she instantly turned a delicate shade of scarlet as she saw his hand holding gently onto her lower thigh, her blushed intensified as she realized how close he actually was, his face was actually only mere inches away from her own. Sasuke had pictured her reaction somewhat differently, he thought she might be scared and jump up suddenly and shy away, but the only emotions evident on her pretty face was confusion.

"Sasuke-kun?" she asked softly, peering at him from under beautifully thick dark eyelashes.

"Hey." he greeted her casually as if him being in her room at such a late hour was perfectly normal.

"What are you doing here?" she questioned softly, sort of surprised at her own bravery.

"I came to ask you something." He replied simply, smiling at her.

"What is it?" she was curious as to why Uchiha Sasuke would be here in her room, he was after all a missing nin, she wondered if anyone else knew.

She couldn't say she was unhappy though, for some odd reason she wanted him here, she could feel butterflies fluttering in the pit of her stomach, an almost happy feeling.

"Come with me Hinata. Leave Konoha with me," he paused for a moment before adding a please.

Hinata gaped at him, this was not the question she was expecting from him, well actually she didn't have any idea what he wanted but she certainly did not think he would ask her that.

"Sasuke-kun... I… what?" she seemed lost for words as she stared into his now coal-colored eyes.

"Come with me Hinata, leave Konoha with me." He repeated gazing at her intensely, "I don't have much time, so make up your mind quickly, please Hinata."

Hinata was now really lost for words, she didn't know what to say to him, she was confused to say the least, though she couldn't deny the feeling deep inside her that yearned for her to say yes, but she couldn't just leave her village, her friends, her family just like that… or could she?

"Sasuke-kun, I…I… don't think… I can…" she muttered quietly.

"You know," he began, stopping briefly to gather his words, "You don't know what you have until it's gone, as the saying goes, ne?"

"Sasuke-kun… what do you mean?..." she asked him, she couldn't quite understand, Sasuke and her were never that close they were just acquaintances at best.

"Hinata, I didn't realize how much a cared for you until after I left the village to go join Orohcimaru, I miss you Hinata, I miss having you around..."

His little confession was something she never thought she'd never hear from the stoic Uchiha survivor, in the past she would have wanted it to come from Naruto, many times she had pictured it but now it was coming from the blonde boys ex-best friend and she…. she liked it…

"So please Hinata, come with me?" he asked again, looking at her with burning coal-eyes.

Hinata closed her lavender hues, contemplating, apart of her wanted to stay in Konoha with her dearest friends but then something inside her urged her to say yes, why not? Why though? Did she love him? Did he love her? What was the reason?

Because I want too… Hinata nearly gasped, because she wanted too?

Hinata opened her eyes slowly and looked into his own eyes, she seemed like she had decided. She nodded her head; a clear and soft yes came from her lips.

"I'll leave with you."

"Then pack what you need, we need to leave soon." replied Sasuke, he had his stoic demure back on but his eyes were clearly dancing, he was happy.

Hinata got up from her bed and headed towards her dresser, she looked down at her usual attire in her drawer, but she decided against it, shaking her head, if she was leaving Konoha she wasn't going to leave wearing that.

She then remembered a shinobi outfit Sakura and Ino had bought her a few months back, saying that she should show off more of her sexy curvaceous body, Hinata had blushed at them and told thanks but she never wore the clothes much to Sakura and Ino's disappointment. Hinata closed the drawer and headed over to her closet, she found a box in the corner and opened it, she went towards the bathroom, she slipped on the clothes and peered at herself in the mirror.

She was wearing a sleeveless black top that hugged her body nicely it had a fishnet cover that cut off at her upper thigh, she wore tight dark navy-blue almost black pants that cut off just above her knees, her left leg was in fishnet tights, her right leg was left bare and finally she wore the casual black shinobi shoes.

Hinata took a look at herself in the mirror and gasped softly, she looked like a different person, more confident, more determined, more gorgeous. After she was done admiring herself the heiress grabbed what necessities she might need for her traveling with Sasuke, she found a small light beige messenger type bag and put the items in it, she then walked out of the bathroom with the bag slung around her shoulder.

Sasuke watched her very closely as she exited the bathroom, he studied her like a hawk would studied his prey just before taking it, the outfit she was wearing was quite appealing in Sasuke's opinion, much better then that large jacket she use to wear. He continued to watch her as she put her weapons and ninja supplies in her shuriken holster and kunai pouch, she also grabbed a medic kit and an extra set of clothes and placed them in her beige bag, this girl liked to be prepared. Hinata turned to Sasuke and smiled shyly, he was lounging on her bed as if it were his own.

"Are you ready Hinata?" he asked, beginning to stand up.

"Yes, Sasuke-kun, I'm ready." she replied, walking over to him.

He nodded his head and without another word the two were out of the window and gone, once they were out of Konoha Hinata took one last look at her old home, a faint frown appeared on her face as she realized she might not see this place in a long time. Sasuke waited for her a few feet away, he knew it would be hard for her at first but she would adjust, she was strong, she could do it.

"Goodbye." She murmured softly before turning away and leaving with Sasuke.

Nejji scowled, Hinata was late for her morning training with her team, she was never ever late, there must be something wrong, Neji could feel it, something wasn't right. The Hyuuga prodigy made his way towards his younger cousins room and opened the door, only to find that it was empty, none the less he walked inside and looked around the room, he ended up finding a folded note on her nightstand.

Dear, friends and family.

I have left Konoha, please don't think that any of you did anything wrong or something, you've all been wonderful. This is something I've decided for myself, I want to become stronger and I'm with someone who will help me, someone who will also look out for me. I trust this person I'm with so please don't go looking for me, I'm certain you won't find me anyway. Maybe one day I'll come back… Till then, keep well.

-Hinata.

Neji stared blankly at the paper in his hand, he couldn't believe what his eyes were seeing, Hinata left Konoha? It couldn't be possible, she would never and more importantly who is this person she is with?

Neji didn't waste anytime telling his uncle and then heading towards the Hokages tower with swift haste, he barged through the door without even asking permission to enter, he looked around the room, it would seem that team Kakashi just got back from a mission. Neji ignored the stares he was getting and continued to walk forward.

"Hokage-sama, Hinata-sama is gone."
