This fic is sorta dark and romantic which kinda fits the Sasuhina pairing. Yes, this is based on the song Love the way you Lie by Eminem & Rihanna. I really think this is gonna be a good fic. If it turns out to be what I hope it will be, I would LOVE for it to become a doujinshi by one of the talented artists on deviant art. That would be sooooooooooooooo awesome! So anyways here we go. Oh! I do NOT own Naruto. Seriously.

I can't tell you what it really is, I can only tell you what it feels like,

and right now it's a steel knife in my windpipe.

I can't breathe, but I still fight while I can fight

As long as the wrong still feels right it's like I'm flight.


Sasuke cried as he pulled the sheets over his head at the sound of his parents fighting...again.

"I know you're cheating! Your little boy toy just dropped you off! Admit it, Mikoto!" Sasuke's father yelled, repeatedly hitting his wife. Her screams tore Sasuke's heart apart.

"Fugaku! I'm not cheating on you! I love you!"

Fugaku said nothing and stormed out of the house. Mikoto slid onto the floor, suffering from the pain of her bruises and the pain emitting from her sons' hearts.

"Sasu-chan, Itachi-chan, I love you..." she whispered. Even though Sasuke was in his room, he heard everything his mother said and let those words lull him to sleep.

10 years later...

Sasuke walked down the gravel path, making sure no tears fell from his eyes. Unfortunaltely, the intense rain had already make him seem like he was bawling, and on the inside, he was. He arrived at his mother's tombstone and set down his roses to honor her.

"Kaa-san, I wanted you to meet someone today but I don't want her to see me like this. I'm still too proud to let a woman see me vulnerable like this. Her name is Hinata Hyuuga. She reminds me so much of you, with her long hair, and loving heart. I wanna thank you, Kaa-san, because you're the only woman besides her that showed me how I can open my heart. I love you so much."

After that, he walked away from the tombstone, got on his motorcycle and drove off. Mikoto Uchiha's tombstone reads:

Mikoto Uchiha

1971-2010

A loving mother and wife

A true angel on Earth

8&8&8&8&8&8&8&8&8&8&

Hinata Hyuuga wiped her forehead in exhaustion as she cooked dinner for her boyfriend. She mentally thanked Chouji for showing her some recipes. Putting the final touches on the meal, she smiled at the meal and got the apartment ready for her boyfriend.

KNOCK! KNOCK! KNOCK!

Hinata rushed to the door and pulled Sasuke in from the rain, helping him off with his helmet and leather jacket.

"Hey, how was the ride?"

Sasuke sighed in annoyance. "Fine."

Hinata knew he was in a bad mood and decided not to pry. She went into the kitchen and pulled out the meal she had made and brought it to him. Sasuke kissed her lips as a thank you and started to eat. Damn! Is there something this woman can't do? Sasuke thought.

Hinata sat down next to him on the couch and tried to find something interesting on TV. Sasuke saw that she was eating nothing and asked,

"Why are you not eating anything?"

Hinata shrugged. "I thought I might try out this new diet. Sakura thinks it's pretty good and-"

"Your body is perfect. You eat all the time and you haven't gained a pound." Sasuke simply stated. Hinata bulshed and smiled. She reached to touch his shoulder in a loving manner but he moved away. Hinata took this as a rejection and retreated to the kitchen to make herself something to eat. Sasuke sighed heavily, finishing up his food. I'm doing it again...ugh. He eyed Hinata walking to the dining table to eat her food instead of sitting next to him.

"What gives?" Sasuke snapped.

"Nani?"

"Why are you sitting over there?"

"Y-You seem l-like y-you d-don't w-want to b-be bothered." The girl stammered.

Sasuke stood up and walked his way over to her with a baleful gaze, making Hinata shiver and squirm in intimidation.

"Did I say I didn't wanted to be bothered?"

Hinata looked away. "No b-but-"

"DID I SAY I DIDN'T WANT TO BE BOTHERED?" He yelled this time. Hinata yelped in fear but answered no again. He's doing it again...Hinata thought. Tears formed in her eyes as she saw him pace back and forth. Then, he stopped and threw his jacket and his helmet back on.

"I'm going out. Don't wait up. I might not come back tonight." Was all he said before leaving and shutting the door. Sasuke leaned against the door with closed eyes while whispering,

"I love you."

Hinata let the tears fall while cleaning up the apartment.

"I k-know y-you're cheating on me, S-Sasuke. But I don't care, I still love you..." She whisepred aloud. The brokenhearted girl went into her and Sasuke's room, got dressed, and plopped herself onto the bed. I love you Sasuke...And with that last thought she cried herself to sleep, hugging the large pillow next to her, silently hoping it was her boyfriend.

3 hours later

Sasuke checked his watch as he weaved in and out of traffic to get home. Hinata can not know that I'm going to therapy. He thought. Sasuke would rather Hinata think he was cheating than knowing he was going to see his therapist, Kakashi-sensei.

When Sasuke arrived at his apartment, he knew that Hinata had cleaned up the place. One of the many things he loved about his raven haired angel, she knewhe loved a clean home. He tossed his jacket onto the couch and placed his helmet on the dining table. Sasuke took off his shirt revealing his perfectly sculpted body and laid himself next to Hinata. He kissed her forehead, lips, and cheeks before falling asleep.

I'm sorry, Hina. But I do love you. Just trust me.

Hinata woke up with her head on something that felt soft, yet hard. She glanced up and saw Sasuke sleeping peacefully with his arm secured around her waist. Hinata blushed and tried to wiggle her way out of her boyfriend's arm but it was no use.

"Hina..." He mumbled in his sleep. Hinata smiled and kissed his cheek.

"Sasuke...I'm your girlfriend. All you have to do is talk to me. You shouldn't lie to me because I haven't lied to you at all. You're sleeping so you probably can't hear me but I love you. It breaks my heart knowing that you're cheating on me, but I'm staying with you to work this out..."

Hinata sighed after getting all her thoughts out and snuggled into Sasuke's chest about to go back to sleep until she felt him stir. And she gasped when she heard him speak.

"Hinata...I love you." Was all he said before falling asleep again. Hinata smiled. I know. She finally managed to wiggle herself out of Sasuke's grasp and went into the kitchen to make breakfast for them.

"I'll make his favorite today." She whispered to herself. Hinata prepared the meal, four onigiri with a quarter size of wasabi in the middle of it with tomato juice on the side. She placed it on the end table in the living room right in front of their plasma television set. Life was pretty good to these two adults. They were both heirs to the biggest technology companies in Japan. The fact that they were together made their check that much bigger.

Sasuke yawned and streched as he got out of bed.

"S-Sasuke! I made breakfast for you!" He heard his girlfriend call. Sasuke smirked and made his way into the living room where he saw Hinata pouring his tomato juice all the way to the top, just the way he liked it.

"H-Here y-you go. I'm g-gonna go and g-get some g-groceries 'cause it looks l-like we're running out. I s-shouldn't be long. There should be some salmon in some foil that you can heat up if this isn't enough." Hinata stammered. Sasuke nodded and wrapped his arms around his waist, settling his head in the crook of her neck.

"You're too good for me. Why are you with me?" He asked.

Hinata sighed. "I'm with you because I'm in love with you. And nothing you say or do is gonna change that."

Sasuke took a deep inhale of his girl's intoxicating scent. "I'm sorry for treating you the way I do."

"It's o-okay. I knew what I was getting myself into when I became your girlfriend and when I moved in with you."

Sasuke pulled away. "No you didn't. Hinata...I'm not stable."

"I don-"

"IT'S NOT GOOD FOR YOU OK? I CAN HURT YOU AT ANY GIVEN MOMENT!"

Hinata flinched at Sasuke's harsh tone and backed up. Sasuke sighed and looked away.

"See? You shouldn't be with me..."

Hinata shook her head and placed her hand on Sasuke's cheek. "You're not getting rid of me so easily."

"You can't tame me."

"B-But I c-can d-damn sure t-try." The girl stammered, slowly shrinking under Sasuke's gaze. He smirked and slammed his girl into the wall and crashed his lips onto hers. Hinata immediately locked her fingers in Sasuke's hair and pulled herself closer. She moaned as her boyfriend tightened his grip on her body. Sasuke pried her lips open with his own and slithered his tongue onto hers and wrapped his arms around her waist. Soon after, he pulled away but kept his hold on Hinata's waist.

"Leave me."

Hinata shook her head. "No."

"Leave. Me. Now."

"I'm not giving up on you, Sasuke."

Sasuke sighed and let go of his hold on Hinata and kissed her lips again.

"Can you get me some more tomatoes?"

Hinata smiled. "Sure. I'll see you later."

8&8&8&8&8&8&8&8&8&

Hinata was now at the grocery store with a cart full of groceries. She remembered Sasuke's tomato juice and walked over to aisle three and bumped her cart into someone.

"Oh! G-Gomenesai!" Hinata squealed. The man she bumped into had silver hair and a mask that covered up his left eye.

"Kakashi-sensei?"

He smiled at his former high school student. "Hinata, you've grown into a beautiful woman. How are you?"

Hinata blushed at the compliment. "I-I've been great. How about you and Anko-san?"

"She's pissing at me about groceries. Say, I've been meaning to talk to you..."

Hinata tilted her head to the side in confusion. "About what Kakashi-sensei?"

"About Sasuke..."

"W-W-What about Sasuke?"

Kakashi looked away. "I know you're with him."

"H-How do you know this?"

"Because I'm his therapist and his foster parent."

Hinata gasped. "N-Nani?"

"It's not good to talk about it here. Take my card and call me when you have time to talk. And make sure Sasuke does not know you talked with me. Ok?"

"Hai."

Kakashi smiled and hugged Hinata. "Sasuke needs you more than you'll ever know. I'll be waiting for your call."

Kakashi left Hinata with nothing but questions in her mind, but soon, they were all going to be answered.


this fic is gonna be kinda intense. it's mostly about Hinata learning of Sasuke's tru childhood and helping Sasuke tame his nightmares nd such. anyways, I hope y'all enjoy it.
