How to Save a Life
Chapter1 : Step One
Step one you say we need to talk
He walks you say sit down it's just a talk
He smiles politely back at you
You stare politely right on through
"Hinata, come here for a moment." Sasuke Uchiha said to the girl with midnight-blue hair.
The girl walked immediately towards the young Uchiha.
Sure, she's confused why she's asked to go near the Uchiha clan survivor but still, she did… without questions.
"I need to have a word with you." He explained emotionlessly although no one asks him to do so.
The girl stared.
She was motionless for a few seconds, then, she smiled. Her usual sweet smile is painted in her face again for the Uchiha to see.
"S-sure!" She politely chirped.
"Don't smile. It's not funny 'cuz this will be a serious talk." He said to the girl.
Still, the girl smiled as if she heard nothing.
"You're so snnoying." He insulted.
She was kinda hurt but still, she smiled.
He sat down on the bench.
She didn't. She stood up still.
"Sit down, gosh, you're so dumb. Idiot." Once more, he said, insulting the gurl.
But his efforts of making the giel lose her smile is useless.
"Oh, hai!" She said happily.
Sasuke gritted his teeth. He stood up and said, "It's no use trying to talk to you. You're too damn stupid."
He said those words harshly. He looked once more at the girl.
To his surprise, Hinata was still smiling as pretty as ever.
"Hn." He muttered and walked away, not even bothering to look back.
Too bad he missed the frown on her face.
'Sasuke what happened to you? What happened to the Sasuke I once knew? Where is the innocent, cheerful Sasuke now?' Hinata thought as her smile is being replaced by a frown.

Hinata Hyuuga has been a good friend to everyone. She's "Konoha's Best friend." She's even close to Sasuke… but that was before the dreadful incident.
Oh, it was too horrible that Hinata couldn't even talk to Sasuke about it.
Besides, since that incident, Sasuke grew cold.
He started to ignore Hinata.
But it's not like he hates the pretty Hyuuga girl.
Sure, he kinda hates Neji Hyuuga but even so, he still has a place in his heart that cares for the cousin of the Hyuuga boy.
Then, he learned that Hinata has a crush on Naruto.
He was actually furious about it.
But he acts like he doesn't care.
The thing is, the more he grows to love Hinata, the more he hates Naruto.
Why? Yeah, it's obvious. It's because he's jealous.
He doesn't like the fact that the idiot is always near the young woman.
But still, he knows that it is partly his fault that Hinata is not always with him.
After all, he's the one to always push her away.

Some sort of window to your right
As he goes left and you stay right
Between the lines of fear and blame
And you begin to wonder why you came
Where did I go wrong, I lost a friend
Somewhere along in the bitterness
And I would have stayed up with you all night
Had I known how to save a life
A simple mission for a two of them is given by the Hokage.
They plainly have to guard the forest to make sure everything's fine.
They separated. They had to patrol.
But then, Sasuke heard a high-pitsched scream in the northern part of the forest.
He was immediately alarmed.
He grew worried and concerned.
He could tell that she's in danger.
He quickened his pace. Finally, he reached the place.
To his misfortune, he saw the dead body of the enemy beside the weak, bleeding form of the Hyuuga girl.
His heart started to beat rapidly.
"She couldn't die… Please don't die on me now." He merely whispered.
Too bad she couldn't hear him say those words.
Quickly, he placed the girl's head on his arms. He shook her lightly, panic taking over him.
"Come on! Wake up now and don't go sleeping inside some dangerous forest!" He scolded, trying to sound calm but failing to do so.
He shook her lightly. She still didn't open an eye nor move her fingers.
"She's losing too much blood! She might die in this state! Damn it!" Sasuke said to no one in particular.
He carried her bridal style… carefully.
She didn't even move nor say a word.
He's really beginning to get worried.
He doesn't want her to die.
Running quickly, the Uchiha clan survivor ran to the hospital but careful not to let people see them.
He doesn't want people to know that he will be the one to save the Hyuuga.
Finally, using the windows as an entrance, he laid her down to the soft, white bed.
"N-Naruto… H-help…" Hinata softly said.
Sasuke, instead of worrying, became angry.
'Why is she calling for that damn moron again?! Can't she see he's useless? That damn guy is so weak, how come she had fallen in love with such a useless jerk?!' He thought as he starts to walk away from the hospital.

Four days have passed since Sasuke brought Hinata in the hospital. She was given proper treatment there.
Finally, she woke up. "W-Where…?" She unconsciously said as a vision of blurred faces became visible to her.
She couldn't tell who they are because she still couldn't see clearly and due to headache.
"Hey, Hina-chan! You're finally awake! I'm so glad!" A loud voice seemed to welcome her.
Finally regaining a clear vision, she sat up and looked around the room.
There, stood her friends like Sakure, Lee, Tenten and the others. Of course, there's Neji.
They were all worried about Hinata.
After a series of long hugs, talks and more, they finally left except for his beloved cousin, Neji.
Finally alone with Neji, Hinata asked, "Hey, Neji-nii-san?"
Neji looked at her with a slight smile.
"I… I wanted to ask if Sasuke ever visited me while I'm still unconscious." She said.
Neji kept his slight smile and said, "Oh? Sasuke? Well… Of course…not…"
Hearing the last word, Hinata felt down. Then, she looked at Neji with a smile.
"Hah! Just as expected!" She faked a smile and laughed while saying those words.
But Neji, being her close cousin, knew better.
His smile disappeared and he went closer to his sweet cousin.
Then, he hugged her.
"Hinata…" Neji whispered.
Hinata didn't know that her cousin knows everything…
…From her favorite things to the person she loved and loves.
He knows that Hinata once had a crush on Naruto but it was gone now.
He knows that Hinata had been Sasuke's childhood friend.
He knows that Hinata's affection switched to Sasuke when she got heartbroken by Naruto's stupidity.
He even gets angry when Sasuke ignores Hinata.
But he chose not to interfere.
His cousin is a strong girl, he knows.
