If you didn't know SasuHina is like one of my favorite pairings ever! And I just had to make a fanfic about them! Don't like it? No read! I don't own anything and that's that. This story takes place during the Bikochu Arc.

Figures in the Night
Black blue hair frame a pale restless face. Pale lavender eyes, trademark of the Hyuuga clan stand out. But they are different from the other powerful Hyuuga's. They are soft, not the eyes of a killer. And she hasn't killed. It's a weakness to her family and to her clan. Something she has always been reminded of throughout her miserable life. But not tonight. Tonight would be different. Tonight she will not fall. She won't give up. This, she tells herself as she exits the tent where her teammates plus Naruto sleeps.
The night is dark. An unfamiliar bird lets out a cry, but she does not cry out. She must be strong.
Feeling her way along a small trail, her fingers brushing the cool leaves, she follows the sound of water. It grows stronger as she inches forward. The trees part and moonlight breaks through allowing her to see. She's arrived at a waterfall. Many streams trickle down the rocky face into the huge pond below. It's perfect for her training.
She undresses, letting the fabric fall around her feet. The night air is cold and she shivers. The moonlight gives her skin a silver sheen and she walks forward into the cool water. Goosebumps break out on her skin, but she keeps walking until she is almost directly below the towering waterfall. Mist sprays her and her body tenses. Then relaxes as she gets used to the water flowing over her skin. She releases some chakra into her feet, allowing her to walk over the water. It is like standing on a mirror, she decides- if she looks down, she will see another Hinata staring back. She takes a deep breath, preparing herself for what's to come. She raises her hands in the air and begins a complex, deadly dance with only the water as her partner.

The snake calls. "Come to me Sasuke Uchiha." it says. For now he will not go. He needs to steady his mind. He has nearly killed his best friend. It still shocks him. His lack of control. The fury. The hate. He's afraid that even those emotions will leave. They are the only one he still has and he won't leave them behind. He has never felt love. Maybe he never will. For the cold-hearted avenger, it seems that any type of love is lost.
He is camped not to far from a waterfall. It's a huge one. Not steep, but with many ledges and outcrops. It compels him to stay. Something tells him he should be here. That something will happen at this spot that will change his life forever. He doesn't know what, nor why it's not a waste of his time. He just knows. He cannot see the waterfall from here. To live in the opening is unsafe for a hunted shinobi. Even if the people hunting him just want him back. But he keeps his senses trained on the spot. So he'll know when it comes. If it comes. Who knows? Maybe he'll be waiting his whole life, with just a strong feeling to guide him. Maybe it's nothing. Just a reason to stay. But deep in his heart he knows better. He is there for a reason.
A splash reaches his ears. It's faint, but it's still something. He stands and listens again. Maybe he just imagined it. No, there it was again. And it comes from the waterfall. He rushes as fast as he can, without making a sound. He hopes it does not leave before he finds it. He must know why he is drawn to this place. The forest dims and he slows- he doesn't want to scare it. A boulder is close nearby. He can look without being seen. He crouches behind the boulder and peers around the gray stone.
At first his heart falls. It isn't what he expected. It's just a girl. Around his age. He can't see her face. It's shrouded in moonlight and darkness. His eyes trail down and he blushes. She is wearing nothing but the mist, yet he can still see her form. He wouldn't say that she rivaled Sakura and Ino- not that he cares anyway, but she is still beautiful. And before his eyes, she begins an exotic dance, the water flowing with her hands. She twirls and he feels a tingle go up his body. She lands gracefully and he realizes that she balances perfectly on the water. She is a ninja and this is a jutsu. Part of him tells him to run. She's a ninja! She might be after him! But he can't move, nor take his eyes from her. He memorizes every curve and twist of her body as she performs for her unwanted audience. The way she moves is mesmerizing. The jutsu graceful. With just a little more work it will be a deadly weapon against her enemies.
He shifts his foot and it brushes against a pebble which then slides into another. Immediately she is alert. He holds his breath, hoping she won't find him. He blinks and she is gone. He gasps and splashes through the water to the spot where she stood, not caring that she might hear or that he could have used his chakra to stand atop the water. He just wants to know who she is. Why she's here and how she disappeared so quickly. He wants to know everything about her.
He feels strange. Like he never has before. What is this feeling? And then he realizes what it is. The single emotion he had never expected to feel. The one he thought he could live without. Love. He turns to leave. He wants to dwell on this new feeling. Not here, he tells himself. Not in the open. Not where she has been. He sloshes through the water, not caring that he should not be. Not caring that he is, or once was a proud Uchiha. At this moment it all loses meaning for him. He stops and rests his hand on the stone he had hid behind. It is cool beneath his touch. Out of the corner of his eye, he notices something. He picks it up. Clothes, the girl's clothes and he sees that on the sleeve, is a flame. A red flame on yellow. The Hyuuga symbol. He sets it down carefully. That means they must be close. How did they find him? How did they know? Why is he in love with a Hyuuga? He knows that he must leave before they come, but he can't leave her. He will follow. And hope that he isn't seen. And if he is, he will not care, because he will be with her, at least for a little while.

If you haven't thought of it already, it's kind of like the werewolves imprinting thing (Twilight) that Sasuke feels. Ooops! Did I just spoil it for you? Sorry! But for those of you who maybe didn't catch on, it's time for you to worship my genius! Wahahaha! Just kidding! Maybe I shouldn't have told you about the whole Sasuke is like Jacob imprinting thing! Ooops! Did I spill something else? Sorry. Hee!
