Chapter Two

The next morning Hinata found herself tucked into her bed instead of curled in a ball on the forest floor. She stared blankly at the ceiling until a knock on the door tolde her to get ready. As she finished getting dressed she stared at herself in the mirror. She had let her hair grow out long ago and it framed her face nicely, but having black made her appear pale.

'I am not strong like Hanabi' she thought as tears started to form in her eyes.

'I am not smart like Tenten' she touched her reflection gingerly with both hands.

'I am not beautiful like Sakura'

Hinata clenched her hands into fist and punched the mirror. Shards shattered slowly to the floor, glass cut into her and blood dripped down. Hinata let the blood fall without stopping it After a while she wash and bandaged her hands, then escaped through her window to train.

She skipped all of her meals and at midnight she climbed into a tree and closed her eyes. After about five minutes she felt another presence in the darkness. Hinata's eyes flew open to find Uchiha, Sasuke scowling down at her. With crossed arms he mutter something incoherent and Hinata shook her head.

"Huh?" she asked.

"Are you deaf bitch? Your in my spot!" Sasuke hissed and Hinata got angry. Who did this guy think he was? He was really starting to piss her off.

"Fuck off!" she yelled and Sasuke scoffed with one eye twiching. Sasuke decided this was a lost cause and turned to leave.

"Wait," she said and he stopped. "I need someone to talk to."

"I thought you wanted me to, oh, what is it? 'Fuck off'?" He asked smirking.

"You can have your spot."

Hinata rolled her eyes and Sasuke shook his head. He sat on the branch above her instead. Hinata let out a deep breath and fingered her bandages.

"Do you think I'm...weak?" she whispered and at first she thought he had heard her but he soon spoke.

"That depends,"

"On what?"

"On what you think is weak."

After a long pause Sasuke spoke again.

"Take shinobis for example. One person might think one shinobi is the strongest one he has ever seen while another may think he is weak. It always comes down to what the shinobi thinks of himself. You shouldn't try to find your self-value in others. You will always find someone who thinks less of you."

"Oh," Hinata whispered ina small voice.

" But no Hyuga you are not the weakest person. You are weaker than some but stronger than others. Does that answer your question?"

Hinata didn't know what to say. Sasuke had just told her she was strong, in his own sort of twisted way. For some reason she felt a weight lift off of her shoulders. For a moment she was at ease.

"Thank you Uchiha-san." Hinata said getting up. Sasuke jumped down from the tree distracting her and causing her to fall.

"You are clumsy." Sasuke smirked and walke away as she gathered herself up.
