Unforgotten

Hinata awoke when a soft hand brushed her brow, but to her dismay all she could see was a pink blob. And her head was pounding with the start of a migraine.

"Hinata," Sakura's voice asked in a soft whisper, "Did I wake you?" Hinata could tell that something was wrong by the sound of her voice.

"What?" was the only thing that Hinata could say.

"You should rest some more, you have a fever and I think you may have hit your head at some point," Sakura advised. Hinata stared at the ceiling.

"Yes, I suppose I did," she said closing her eyes. There was a silent pause, and the only thing heard was the poring of the rain outside. Finally Sakura spoke.

"What happened?" Hinata didn't answer at first, but the rains pour wasn't helping her migraine.

"I was sent on a solo mission, and the Akatsuki found me," Hinata opened her eyes slowly, straining to keep them open, "Damn they're strong." Sakura looked at her a little worried.

"Are they the ones who hurt you," she asked, earning a no from Hinata, "They just chased me, it was another man. He was in the chinin exams when we were younger, the one with the glasses and white hair. He looked deferent though, stronger, sicker even." Sakura looked on at Hinata confused, what did she mean stronger and sicker? But before Sakura could press any further Hinata fell back to sleep.

"She's not the same is she," Sasuke's voice sounded from his spot next to the window; "She's not telling use everything." Sakura nodded and smiled sadly.

"She's not well and if the Akatsuki find out that the two of you aren't in the village, their going to come looking for the both of you. It's bad enough that no one other than Lady Tsunade, Naruto, Sie, and my self know you both are here, but Hinata's father and team are already starting to worry." Sakura stood from her spot next to Hinata, and Sasuke eyed her as she moved next to him.

"The one out there, who is he," Sasuke asked watching the figure out in the middle of the street, in the pouring rain.

"Not sure, Naruto doesn't seem to like him," Sakura said, "He keeps going on about how the guy reeks of death and how he was one of the two who hurt Gaara." Sasuke narrowed his eyes.

"And where was he found," Sakura shrugged, before turning and waving bye. She didn't leave right away, probably had to get some things from the front room.

"So perhaps I should have a talk to with him." Sasuke said to no one as he looked coldly at the figure.

Sasuke walked out into the pouring rain not caring about being soaked. He walked right out to the blond and stood staring in the same direction as him. The two stayed like that until the blond looked over at him.

"Can I help you, yeah," the blond asked Sasuke. Sasuke said nothing, only stared out at the trees that hid them from others eyes. It seemed like a long time before anything was said, but Sasuke finally answered the question.

"What keeps you here, do you still wish to kill me," Sasuke didn't look him in the face.

"Heh, I got over that a long time ago, yeah. I'm here to keep the one who saved my life safe, yeah," Didarea said smiling. Sasuke stared at him wide eyed.

"Why did Sakura do that I wonder," Sasuke said looking back at the trees.

"No, no not Sakura, it was the little one, Hinata. She saved me," Dedarea said beaming with joy. Sasuke didn't look happy about the information he had just discovered.

"So what's keeping you from telling the Akatsuki of where we are?" Sasuke asked glaring ever so slightly.

"Absolutely nothing," Didarea said in a sing song voice, "I wouldn't do that to Hinata though." With that Didarea turned and walked, with a hop in his step, inside. Sasuke stood there mumbling to himself.

"This is just great I'm stuck with a ditsy blond, that could get us all killed, and a girl who's actions are questionable. And there goes Sakura," he said watching the pink haired ninja as she took off into the forest. He sighed and heard the door squeak softly.

"S…Sasuke you should come in you'll catch cold," Hinata said, Sasuke didn't move and she started to wonder if he hear her at all, "Sasuke?" She walked through the still pouring rain to him.

"It's not good…." She was unable to finish what she was going to say, because Sasuke had rounded on her and knocked her to the ground.

He stayed over her, growling. Hinata flinched and slowly forced her eyes open, to look into his onyx eyes. She stared up at him not saying a thing at first, but as a short time went by she softly emitted a sound.

"Oww," she whispered and felt warm tears on her face. She hoped that Sasuke couldn't tell her tears from the rain on her face. But he did and he looked away, a pout slightly on his lips. He stood, pulling her up and into his arms.

"You shouldn't be out here you're already not well," he said as he carried her to the door, "Don't worry I wont tell that you cried." Sasuke smirked.

"And I wont tell anyone that you made a pout-y face just now," Hinata said hopping form his arms and inside were it was warm. Sasuke stared at her back as he fallowed her inside.

"Hinata," Didarea yelled as he ran at her, wrapping his arms around her in a tight hug, "I didn't even know you were awake. You're all wet and muddy; did that Uchiha brat hurt you?" Didarea shot Sasuke a glare before going back to hugging Hinata.

"I'd watch it Hinata, he might jump you, with your shirt sticking to you like that," Sasuke said smirking as Hinata's face brightened into a red blush, and she jumped away from Didarea.

"We should all g…get changed," Hinata said moving to her room and closing the door quickly.

"Two can play that game Uchiha," Didarea said in a harsh whisper.

"Yes, two can play, but I always win," Sasuke said smirking at the flustered blond. They both went to their separate rooms.
