Ch1- to bring you home is a heart break in its own way

Two years ago he left….

Cold night set in as gray clouds swirled over the pale full moon. The air had a certain eeriness in it that made me cringe. I'd never liked the dark. Ever since I was a little girl id been terrified of it. When a shadow crossed my vision at the end of an alley way I sprinted off in its direction. His name was trapped behind my sealed lips. If I yelled out for him, I would wake the entire village. If that happened….my dearest Sasuke would be executed.

I almost ran into him where he stood at the village gate. His cold eyes met mine. A chill ran up my spine "Sasuke" I whispered.

"Go home"

"I can't, I can't let you go" my short blue hair whisked around in my face.

"It's cold tonight Hinata, go home"

"Don't you understand NO" my hands flew up over my mouth, I didn't like the aggression in my tone.

"You know I have no choice"

"There's always a choice Sasuke" the first time my lavender eyes left his face they locked on the four figures standing not too far away from us, hidden by the darkness. "Whose there" I whispered.

"My friends" Sasuke said in a cool tone.

"Your friends?" my voice was only a ghost of a whisper.

"I chose power, Hinata"

My heart skipped a beat "You….said" each word left my lips softer then the last.

"Yes, yes, yes" a female voice filled the air. My eyes shifted to the face of the girl that now stood next to him. She had long pink hair and fair skin with cold brown eyes that pierced my soul. "He chose power over his sad little girlfriend. Get over yourself" she scoffed "did you really think if you came down here and cried for him he would stay?"

I felt my heart fall to my stomach "S-Sasuke"

"I chose power over a life with you. Goodbye Hinata" That was the last time his lips ever touched mine. It was the last time I ever saw the one I loved with all my heart. I guess in the end I watched him walk away. I was powerless to stop it.

I sighed and sat up in my bed. The moon was full and huge in the window. I looked at it with tear filled eyes. The full moon reminded me of how he'd left and how id missed him. My long blue hair fell over my pale shoulder like strands of silk. I folded my arms on the window ceil and rested my cheek on my forearm "Sasuke…"

My lavender eyes shifted to the blue sky as sun light kissed my pale face. "Hey Hinata" Kiba's arm flew around my shoulder "Oh hello Kiba"

"You wanna grab a bite to eat?"

"No thanks I'm late for my training"

"Why did you stop showing up for squad eight's training" he gave me a worried look. I hadn't gone to any of our group training with Kurenai because I didn't want to be around any of them.

After Sasuke left the whole village either thought of me as the snob that dated the village traitor or as the poor little shy girl who couldn't stop him from leaving. I didn't want Kiba and Shino to be bogged down by my bad reputation or to coddle me because they felt bad. It's my problem no one else's. It shouldn't have to affect anyone else.

"I just….I can't right now is all" I said just above a whisper. I lifted his arm away from my shoulder and walked down the street quietly. All around me I heard girls whispering about how I'm a traitor and how I should've stuck to my own clan. I shook it all off and walked down into a grove to train. "Kakashi sensei" I called out looking around as I sat my hand bag down.

"Over here Hinata" his tone was warm as his hand fell over my shoulder. I turned and smiled up at him. About seven months ago I was sitting in the same grove we were standing in all alone.

Tears streamed down my pale cheeks as I sobbed violently into my hands.

"Hinata?" I looked up when I heard his voice "Are you alright"

"I couldn't stop him"

"You're not weak Hinata"

"Yes I am"

He was quiet for a moment and it looked like he was thinking about something " I could train you, if you'd like and make you stronger that way"

I nodded. It was the only care id been offered so I took it. Over time the training continued and I started to look at my sensei a little differently. And a few months later….

"Hinata" he called over the sound of the rain. I felt his large hand curl around mine and he pulled me into a small rundown shed. "You okay?" he asked as he removed his mask. Kakashi had a beautiful face. His silver hair and his scared eye made him beautiful, perfectly unique. Thunder cracked and I stared out at it as lighting flashed.

"Are you scared?" he asked softly.

"No I think it's beautiful"

He tilted my head with his fingers "you're beautiful" and his lips touched mine for the first time. I found myself kissing him back.

That was the day my heart pieced its self back together and formed around the void Sasuke had left me with. The void Kakashi hadn't filled yet. Still he made me feel better, a lot better. His hand caught mine and again I flashed him another faint smile.

"You have a mission" his voice was calm.

"What is it" I didn't like the look in his eyes.

"You, Kiba, and Naruto will be going to find Sasuke and bring him home"

I drew my hand away and my heart kicked against my chest "No…"

"I asked her not to send you because I thought you'd be effected emotionally…she refused"

"What happens if we bring him back?"

There was a long pause "He'll be executed"

I shook my head "No, I won't go"

He placed his hands on my shoulders "Hinata you have to go" I knew he was right, It'd been a long time since if gone on a mission and so I'd have to go on this one. "Can you bring him home…knowing what happens when you do?"

I swallowed "I think so…"
