His Greed and My Blood

Summary: SasuHina AU "Shh." He breathed on her neck. "Don't move," he whispered seductively. But she couldn't. She could only stand frozen, paralyzed with fear, as the bad feeling in the pit of her stomach worsened.

DISCLAIMER: Me no own, you can't sue.

Chapter 1

Huff.

Huff.

Pant.

Pant.

Heavy breathing could be heard throughout the nearly empty hallway.

Hyuuga Hinata was running late. Again.

'Darn it! I'm going to be almost late again.' she thought as she sprinted down the hall. Her midnight purple, waist-length hair flew behind her, as her mauve-colored eyes scanned the hall for any roaming teachers that she needed to avoid.

The coast was clear. She had two and a half minutes to run up two flights of stairs and down three more halls.

If she kept this up, by the end of the school year, she'd be fit enough to try out for the track team. Heck, she'd own the track team! But even if she wanted to, her father would not allow someone of her position to partake in such a disgraceful activity.

'I should probably be less considerate to others like Ino said. Maybe then, I wouldn't have to run to class almost every other day. Well, technically every other night.' Thought the young Hyuuga teen to herself, as she bolted up her first flight of stairs.

Just twenty minutes prior to this situation, Hinata decided to help out a woman by retrieving her purse from a thief.

The pilferer had bumped into the lady and took off running in the opposite direction where Hinata was headed.

The heiress just happened to hear the hapless lady's cries for help as the crook continued to get closer to her.

She just acted on instinct; her left hand shot out in front of her to reach for the bag, and her right hand had fisted and prepared to connect.

And she had; solidly.

The dirty mugger landed on the ground with a sound thud as the young woman was just coming up behind him with a bewildered look on her face.

"H-Here y-you go ma'am." said Hinata while she handed the purse back to its original owner with a small smile.

"Oh my goodness! I was trying to familiarize myself in this neighborhood and he came out of nowhere and grabbed my purse! Domo arigato! How can I ever repay you?" The beautiful woman asked, grateful for such an outcome.

"Just b-be careful. Please d-don't walk b-by yourself next time." Hinata said, while observing her.

The victim had long dark hair and equally dark eyes. She had pale skin and was unnaturally beautiful. She had on black sweats and a matching jacket to fend off the autumn wind. She was quite young, as well. She couldn't have been older than 25.

'Wow! She's gorgeous!' Hinata started to blush as she looked down and saw the time on her watch.

"Oh no! I'm going to be late!" Not half a second passed when she said that, did the mysterious woman latch onto her arm.

"Where are you going? You haven't given me your name yet."

"Oh. M-my name is Hinata. And I really have t-to go. I'm going to be l-late for school," explained Hinata.

"What? School? So late?" she questioned.

"Yes, it's a long story, b-but I don't have the time to t-tell you. M-maybe if we run into each other again, I c-could explain," she said struggling against the stranger's grip. But it was tighter than it should have been.

"Okay then. Well, my name is Uchiha Mikoto." The woman finally introduced herself, letting go of Hinata in the process.

"Ooooow," moaned the criminal from the ground.

"You may want t-to call the police and let them h-handle him. See you around!" Yelled Hinata as she sprinted off in the direction she was originally headed.

"Hmm. That's okay. I think I'll just handle him on my own," said Mikoto more to herself than to the disappearing girl. The pallid woman then took the man by his ankles and dragged him into a dark alley that was a little ways off.

Hinata carelessly stepped on the top step of the second flight of stairs, which was not in her best interest, because she slipped on a stray candy wrapper and went tumbling halfway back down the stairs.

"Itai!" She yelped.

When she looked down, her books that had sailed out of her bag were now strewn across the stairs and her knee was bleeding pretty badly.

"Are y-you k-kidding me?" She asked out loud, to no one in particular.

The poor girl looked around for help but didn't see any. So she pulled herself up, grabbed her books, and slowly made her way back up the stairs to her first class.

'Darn my clumsy feet! I bet I have so many bruises right now it's not even funny,' she thought angrily, 'Today is just not my day.'

She now had forty-seven seconds to hurry down the three halls and be seated when the bell rang.

But after what seemed like forever, she finally turned the corner and saw her classroom door loom ahead of her. A quick glance at her watch told her she had eight seconds to get there before she would have to get a tardy pass.

Hinata closed her eyes, took a deep breath and shot down to the end of the hall, running as fast as her injured knee would allow. She could make it. She knew she could make it if she tried.

Unfortunately for her, the second she entered the room, she ran right into somebody causing them both to fall.

BRRRRRIIIIINNNNGGG!!

Yes! She had made it on time!

She opened her eyes and exhaled slowly, and looked at the person she had basically mauled over.

'Oh snap.' She looked up into the eyes of the menacing face of…
