Summary: Hinata thought no one loved her now that her love has someone special for himself. She wants to take the easy way out...to kill herself, but then she is stopped by none other than the hearthrob of the village. What could he meant when he told her that she is loved? Characters are waaaaay ooc.

'Naruto-kun...Why..?'

The lone figure walked slowly in the rain, roaming aimlessly in the quiet village of Konoha like a ghost. Her pale porcelin face was paler than usual, her once bright lavender eyes were now a dull color, puffy from crying for so long.

She aimlessly walked past many food stands that were closed now and came to the end of the village. She walked outside into the dark forest. Her mind was not comprehending why she was walking into the forest at this time, when it was raining, but her body moved on its own and decided for her.

She walked for a couple of more minutes and came into a clearing in the forest. She sat down by a near by tree and leaned back her tired body. 'How long have I been walking?' The girl asked herself. She shrugged it off though. She was not in her carring mood right now.

She watched as the rain fell and her face crest fell as the memories from this morning replayed inside her mind. The rain mixed with one lone tear that escaped her. She closed her eyes and clentched her fists slightly.

This morning was like no other. She had woken up to train with her father for once and not her team mates. She was nervouse when she was sparring with her father,only to be defeated in the end. Her father had glared at her and had said his speech of how weak she was and how she would never be like her sister or be the great leader of the clan he wanted her to be. Hanabi had not made it any better when she just shook her head at her older sister in disgust and dissaprovale.

Hinata could only stare down in shame. She had walked out of the training room to only bump into her cousin. Neji had seen her sad face and tried to talk to her. He had told her to not worry about it, that her father was a fool for not thinking of her in a hyger praise. She could only smile weakly and nod at her cousin. He had left afterwords to train with his girlfriend and rival of a team mate.

Neji's words had incouraged her slightly. She smiled as she walked around the village after getting out of her 'house'.

She walked aimlessly for a while, just saying good morning to many of her friends, and such. It wasn't long until she decided to eat. She hadn't eaten that morning and it was already the afternoon. So she dicided to go and eat ramen. She smiled brightly and blushed like a tomatoe.

'I wonder if Naruto-kun will be there?' She thought as she walked towards the infamouse ramen stand. Her smile widened and her blush intensified, as she saw the blond sitting down eating a bowl of ramen. He looked so happy to be eating his favorite food. Hinata started approching the stand, but more precisely, her crush. She had the idea of finally talking to her long time crush...and this time without fainting or making a fool of herself.

No more than a couple of feet away from the stand did she stop dead in her tracks. Her eyes widened as she gaped at the scene before her. For a minute she couldn't breath.

"N-Nauto-kun...and..." She trailed off, tears slowly forming in her eyes, "...S-Sakura-chan..?"

She took a hesitent step back as she continued watching the couple kissing. She never noticed the pink-haired girl sitting besides Naruto until they started that passionate kiss. Slowly, the formed tears fell down her cheeks and she controlled herself so no sob could escape her, but to no abeil. She let her sob escape, but the couple did not notice.

Hinata ran away from there. Aimlessly and blinded by her own tears she ran into villagers, but didn't stop to apologize. She continued running. Passing by concerned faces of her team mates and friends. No one went after her though; they knew Hinata might have wanted some privacy for this, but they couldn't help, but feel a pang of guilt overwhelm them as they watched the crying girl run off.

Hinata had noticed that her so called friends didn't bother to go and comfert her. She had seen the worried expressions of her team mates, Kiba and Shino, and many of her other friends, but none of them went after her. That had caused her to have a more fierce pang of sadness and anger, but shook it off and contined on her running.

Her pace started to slow after a while and by now no one was walking around the village. She was wondering slightly why, but erased the thought as she felt cold now...and wet?

She looked up at the darkened sky and felt the drops of water. She shook her head and smiled bitterly. It was raining now. Why hadn't she noticed before? She wondered. Though she shook off the thoght as she realized that this was how she felt at the moment. She felt dark and gloomy. The rain only complied to her mood.

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

This was how she started to aimlessly walk around the rain. Her face paler than usual and her lavender eyes dull. A thought of unhappiness raised through her mind of the events as she reopened her eyes. Three thought raised through her mind.

It was then that she relized why her father did what he did. Why he would always tell her to be better, to train hard, and be braver for the clan, and why he would always say her younger sister was better than her at everything. She understood why her cousin would always say things aswell, why her team mates would always protect her even if they knew she could do things at times.

She was a burden to them.

Nothing, but a simple burden in their lifes. A burden to take care of a weak person like herself. She new that in the years that have passed she had gotten stronger, but she guessed, not strong inof.

No one cared for her at all.

She was unloved.

The one person who she had always admired, and dare she say it, loved...didn't think of her as anything else, but the weird and creepy Hyuuga girl. She knew this for he had told her himself years ago in the Chunnin exams...and yet..he told her that he liked people like that.

She shook her head.

'No. What he said was a lie. He just said that because he felt pitty for me that's all. I am so stupid, stupid!' Hinata thought angrily. She clentched her fists so tight that her knuckes turned white and the pressure from her nails caused her palm to bleed. Hinata didn't feel the bad about pain though. She actually enjoyed it a bit. She glanced downwards at her now pinkish palm, small tricklets of blood escaping it.

''Maybe I should of done something about myself long ago.'' Hinata stated this time. With a seroiuse expression on her pale face, she grabed a kunai from her pocket and lifted the shiny and small object to her wrist.

The rain had stopped long ago and there was only silence now. The sky was still dark and gloomy, but no rain fell.

As Hinata placed the kunai on her left wrist she closed her eyes. She was scared, but she was more deppressed to care. Slowly, she cut her wrist slightly, wincing in pain as the red liquid oozed down her wrist and into the wet ground. No pain was noticed anymore as she sighed in relief. She did it again. Again. Again. And again.

They were only mear cuts in her wrists as she relieved most of her pain. She would never would of thought to do this before. She had frowned apon the people that would do this to relieve themselves. She had also wondered why they would do this stupidity in the first place.

Well, now she understood clearly.

It relieves her from the world and its damn pain. The truth of it all. It relieved her so much. Then, her thoughts started up again. The memories from that day reawakened and she started to spill more tears. Her cuts became deeper and deeper because of her pent up pain and anger. Blood was rapidly spilling down her cut.

"I'm such a burden to everyone!"

Slash.

"No one cares for me!"

Slash.

"No one loves me!"

Slash.

She was feeling woozy now from her crazy cutting and from the lose of blood. Her vision was blurry from tears spilling down her cheeks. She raised the kunai for a last final cut, her hand was trembling fiercly. She gulped and let the last tear fall down.

"And I will finally relive this world f-from ever having me here!'' Her voice cracked slightly. "I will n-no longer be a burden!"

She brought the kunai down as she closed her eyes waiting for the final pain to surge into her body.

She opened her eyes, still having a blurry vision, her body feeling heavy.

Nothing. She felt nothing. No pain. Nothing at all.

She felt her wrist being grabbed by another's hand tightly, but yet at the same time so gently. She looked up as much as she could and strained to see who had stopped her. She could only make out a blue blur. Her body felt so heavy all of a sudden, her eyelids closed first before she crashed down from exaustion. Though she didn't fall into the cold, wet ground. No. She fell into someones strong, warm arms.

She couldn't help, but smile weakly, as she felt the person gently lift her from the ground and swiftly lead her somewhere.

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

Hinata slowly opened her lavender eyes. Her vision was back, but a light was making it imposible to see clearly around. When she finally regained her vision she noticed she was in a room.

"It must be an apartment room." Hinata said to herself weakly as she looked around the small room. It was pretty normal, not many things were hanging in the walls except the Uchiha Fan and so-

Wait what?! Rewind! Uchiha Fan!?

Hinata's face paled a little more at this realization. She tried to lift herself up, but found the action imposible to do, so she decided to lay down again. Her expression was slightly puzzled. What would she be doing in Sasuke's room in the first place? Then, it hit her.

She raised her left arm up so she could see it. Her eyes widened slightly as she saw that her arm was bandaged very proffesionally. She shook her head slightly in disbelief. Hinata couldn't belive that THE Uhiha Sasuke ha saved her from herself.

She smiled bitterly at her thoughts.

"Hm..." Hinata said slightly loudly, "I can't even kill myself correctly.'' She placed her hand ontop of her face so she could cover her now watering eyes. "..I'm so pathetic.."

"No. Your not.''

Hinata's eyes widened as she rose from her position in the bed and stared at the doorway where the Uchiha himself stood cooly, his arms crossed infront of his chest. He was leaning on the doorway, a frown on his handsome face, his onyx eyes boring into her own lavender eyes.

"S-Sasuke-san.." Hinata whispered his name in disbelief. It was obviouse he had heard her. He slowly walked towards the bed an stood infront of her, his arms now resting by his sides. She stared up at him, a small pain in her eyes. Tears threatened to fall once more, but instead, she blurted out a simple question. Sort of.

"W-Why...Why did you..?''

Sasuke sighed heavily, as he sat at the edge of the bed. He didn't look at Hinata, not even a glance as he looked down at the carpeted floor. Hinata could only stare at the still figure before her in bewilderment. Silence was the only sorce of a 'talk' for them for the next minutes. Hinata kept fidgeting uncomfterably under the covers. She was not good for saying things that were in her mind, but darn she was gonna ask what was in her mind now.

"S-Sasuke-san," Hinata's voice was slightly choked as she talked, "Back in the forest...why did you stop me..from..you know..?" Hinata glanced down to her left wrist, a small frown on her face, the tears working their way out, and down her porceline face.

When she looked back up with the tears, she was surprised to see Sasuke starring at her so intensly. His cole onyxed eyes showed anger..and was that worry she just saw? Hinata looked back down at her wrist, her face slightly flushed red. She didn't want to look into those dark pools anymore.

"Hinata," came a deep, cold voice. Hinata glanced up again, her eyes wide. Sasuke looked angry now, more than she had ever seen him before. Hinata nodded slightly for him to continue what he wanted to tell her. Sasuke nodded and looked up at the ceiling with a look of thought. He stayed silent for some more minutes and so did the Hyuuga girl. Ever since Naruto and her friends had brought him back he had change and started to talk more to everyone, including her. Well, in a way, he would always walk with her when she was alone or secretly visit her in the Hyuuga compound to just be there and sit down. Hinata was always curiouse on to why he would visit her often, but didn't question him and tried to start a comversation with the Uchiha heir. Sasuke would always look up at the ceiling if he was thinking about some things before he would answer her questions. It would take some minutes before he would answer. He would even make her laugh at the things he would say sometimes, about how dumb things went when he realized that power was nothing important, and sometimes even talk about the dobe coughnarutocough and Sakura. He would tell her some adventures that they had and how he would always have to rescue the idiotic blond. ((this sounds sooo familiar)) Hinata's train of thoughts cut short the minute the thought of Naruto and Sakura popped in her mind. She sighed sadly, but this was heard from Sasuke in an instance. He starred at the Hyuuga girl that he had gotton fond of. Yes people you read right! The walking ice-cube got fond of someone...and a girl!!

Sasuke never liked it when the fragile looking girl would always sigh in sadness or cry. Heck, he never liked when a girl cried in the first place. He alwase thought of it as weak, but with Hinata, it was sort of diffrent. She had a sort of comfidence after crying. He had noticed it in one of his secret visits to her room. He had found the girl crying on her bed, her face on her pillow so her sobs could not be heard. Sasuke had felt a pang of hurt at the moment he saw her rise from her bed, her face teary and her cheeks red from so much crying. He wanted to comfert her in his arms and tell her how much he car--Wow! Where did that come from?? Sasuke shook his head and mentally kicked himself in the ass. He did NOT just think that about the girl! Sasuke had sighed as he starred again at the now standing girl. Hinata had had a comfident look on her face, as she wipped away the tears. He had heard her say that crying wouldn't help her in training or make her stronger. He had heard her say that she should be strong for her clan and mostly for herself. She had a determind look in her cute face as she exited her room. Sasuke had looked in awe as he watched the girl walk out, but smirked nontheless. He knew Hinata was going to be a strong leader for the clan.

And now..he just didn't know what happened to the strong girl he had seen not long ago. Why did she want to kill herself ? Why would she have even thought of it?! Unintentionally, he clentched his fists and let out a small growl that was noticed by the crying Hinata. Her teary eyes widened when she saw how ngry Sasuke was with her. She gently placed her uninjured hand ontop of his fist.

"Sasuke-san?'' Hinata's meak voice reached his ears in an instance. Sasuke unclentched his fists and starred now at the comfused girl. He sighed once more and gently grabbed Hinata's small hand into his own big one. Hinata gulped silently at this, her face now flushed, her puffy eyes wide. "Sasu--"

"What were you thinking Hinata?" Sasuke inturrupted, his voice cold, but held a kind of worry in it. Hinata looked down once more, a frown noticible on her face. She didn't say anything for a minute, as she felt the hold on her hand tighten in impatientness. Hinata starred up at Sasuke's face with tears in her eyes once more; Sasuke resisted so as not to brush them away.

"I-I...I don't know..." Came the weak reply. Sasuke was going to protest as to that was no good reason until he felt the girl's shaking hand; she was holding on to him for dear life. And then, she just blurted out everything.

"Nobody cares for me!" Hinata yelled. "I'm just a burden to everyone around me! My father says I'm a burden, my sister doesn't think of me wordy as the clan leader any better than my father, my team mates don't care about me, none of my friends do!" Hinata's tears fell rapidly now, sobs escaped her, but calmed down slightly as she hicupped. "A-And now I know..Th-that..Na-Naruto-kun..and Sa-Sakura-chan..they..they..." Hinata couldn't finish the sentence as she burst out crying again. Sasuke could only stare dumbfound at the girl holding onto his hand now. He knew that the dobe and Sakura had gotten together, even the others knew about this, but they didn't have the heart to tell Hinata about it for they knew about the crush she had towards the Kyuubi boy. Sasuke glared at the wall behind Hinata. He felt anger sore inside him. He felt like kicking the dobe's ass for hurting Hinata this way. If looks could kill..man that wall would of blown into an oblibion by now. Without thinking, Sasuke did what he had never done before in his life.

Hinata felt a pair of warm, strong arms envelope her into a tight hug. The warmth of the body holding her felt so comferting, but realization kicked in when she looked up. Sasuke was holding her!! She didn't resist the embrace and stayed where she was; too shocked to move in the first place. Sasuke starred down at her with worry in his onyxed eyes, a small gentle smile on his handsome face. With his right hand he brushed away the tears from her eyes; doing the same with her bangs. Hinata could only stare in shock.

"Hinata," Sasuke spoke in for once a gentle and comferting voice instead of his usual cold and monotone one. "Don't say that no one cares for you. Don't say that you are a burden to anyone. Don't say that you are not loved." Hinata was ready to protest to this, but Sasuke didn't give her the chance as he continued.

"People care about you Hinata. Your father and sister are wrong. They care for you in their own way. I know they are cold towards you, but in their way they show they care for you. They want you to be strong for yourself, not only for the clan. Do not listen to their petty remarks, they are only hollow." Hinata nodded slightly at his words, a small pang of warmth building inside her. "Your friends care about you more aswell Hinata. They take care of you because they love you you know." He stated before continuing. "And the dobe? Hn, you deserve better than an idiot that doesn't even notice you Hinata. He should stay with Sakura. They fit together perfectly. He is not worthy of your time anyways." Hinata's eyes widened at the way he said this; it sounded cold and somehow..was he jelouse.? Hinata didn't have time to notice as he continued. "And never say that no one loves you Hinata because people do."

'I should know more than anyone at this.' Sasuke thought bitterly.'Even after all the shit I did..they still loved me and accepted me back.'

"Your father Hiashi loves you, your sister, that baka Neji," Sasuke continued, "Sakura, the dobe, Tenten, Chouji, Shikamaru, Ino, Fuzzy-Brows, your team mates and sensei, and..." Sasuke trailed off, a small pink blush appearing on his pale face. "I...I love you too Hinata."

Hinata's face turned a dangerouse looking red. She couldn't belive what Sasuke, THE SASUKE UCHIHA, just told her; that he loved her! Her. The weak Hyuuga girl who couldn't even aproch a boy and tell them how she feels. Hinata felt light-headed for a moemt, but shook it off deciding that hat he said was maybe because he was her friend. Yeah that's it. Nothing else, but friend talking. Wrong. Sasuke continued his talking without noticing how far it was going until it was too late.

"I care for you Hinata," Sasuke said, his blush worsening, a small smile growing, "I don't think your a burden at all. I think your perfect, your strong, your kind, your gentle. What you almost did crushed my heart. You tried to kill yourself because of the dobe's fault and that crushed me inside." As he spoke more about this he started to get closer and closer to the indigo-haired girl. He placed her ontop of his lap; now Hinata was sitting on his lap, his embrace getting tighter everytime he spoke; Hinata didn't resist at this though, she felt happy, warm. She felt his hand carresing her face now as she starred at him with a small smile. "Hinata...I...I truely love you and I never want you saying that ever again...You ARE loved." He trailed off not knowing what else to say, to expect at all.

Hinata's smile though gave him a pang of hope. Maybe his feelings will be returned?

'So I was wrong.' Hinata thought, the small smile widening on her porceline face. 'Sasuke doesn't only love me as a friend...he loves me...He really does love me.'

It stayed silent between the two as Sasuke held onto the Hyuuga heir in his arms. He kept his hand cupped on her face, as there eyes met. Onyx with lavender.

Slowly, Hinata's face came closer to Sasuke's. Only an inch away from reaching his face completely, she whispered the words that the Uchiha so badly wanted to hear from her.

"Sasuke-kun...I love you too..."

And finally their lips met into a gentle kiss that electrified them into a whistfull of love. Both only pressed their lips together, but for them both it was the most beutifull thing ever. They parted slightly to look into each other's eyes and to take a breath. They smiled at one another before Hinata placed her head on Sasuke's chest, Sasuke doing the same, but lieing his head gently ontop of her own. They stayed like that for a while, both content to just be in each others arms. Slowly, sleep overwhelmed Hinata and she fell asleep in the Uchiha's arms. Sasuke smiled at this as he lied Hinata and himself on the bed now. He lied next to the sleeping girl, gently placing her bangs away from her face. He gently pecked her on her lips and brought her near his body by pulling her gently by her hips towards him with his arm.

"See Hinata," Sasuke whispered before he aswell fell asleep next to the girl, "You are loved...because I love you...''
