(A/N: A small SasuHina fanfic )

Disclaimer : I do not own Naruto or any of it's characters, I only wish I did…


Hinata's POV

I tossed and turned in my bed for what feels like the umpteenth night in a row. I ripped the covers off of me and walked to the bathroom. Then I turned on the water faucet and splashed some cold water in my face. What the hell is wrong with me? I wonder. I've been asking myself the same question for the past week. And I know what the answer is, and I don't like it.

I dried my face off, walked back into my room, and laid down on the bed, not bothering with the covers despite the cold draft coming from my window.

My condition, I hate to admit, is the result of those onyx eyes… again. This has happened before, when I first saw them in the academy. I was about 8 years old then, and my reaction to them was much worse. Whenever I saw them, I started hyperventilating on the spot. The first time I did, Iruka-sensei asked if I was having a breakdown or something. In a way, I was. But I just told him that it was normal for me, and eventually, it really was. It started happening often enough so that he stopped checking up on me. It was so embarrassing.

Now, 7 years later, my reactions aren't so bad. I stutter a little, but that's normal. My face practically glows red. And I've fainted once or twice when those onyx eyes caught me off guard. But the worst that could happen is that I'll become delusional and spill a secret from my lack of sleep. Neji won't let that happen. He doesn't want me to embarrass the Hyuga clan any more than my father does. At least he's nicer about it though.

The reason I've been like this for the last week, instead of the last 7 years, is because I'm on a mission. My group and Naruto's group have combined to investigate something for the Land of Snow, bringing the eyes with them. Except for that part, I really like it here. The constant snow reminds me of my birthday. December 27th. It's coming up next week. The two teams are celebrating by taking me to a hot spring in this village. All I want for my birthday is to get away from those mysterious eyes that keep me up at night so I'll be able to get some sleep. The least Sasuke Uchiha could do for me is that…
