Sasuke POV
Waking up covered in sweat wasn't the best thing in the world. I felt so frightnend. What just happened. I looked around and noticed that Squishy was gone. I'm all alone... Ugh my head hurts. What's happening to me? I covered my ears with my hands and let out a monsterous scream. Why why why?! Why is this happening to me? So many painful things are playing through my mind. Who is that man? What is he doing to me?! I continued to scream as these thoughts entered my mind. Tears started to form and fell down.
"Sasuke-kun..." a soft voice near me whispered. I stopped screaming, and felt my eyes widen, "WHAT DO YOU WANT GET AWAY FROM ME!!!" I hollered at the top of my lungs and aimlessly tried to hit something. Instead of feeling something collide with my fist, I felt petite arms wrap around my torso. I just froze still. Who is she... I hugged her back and cried into her shoulder.
It hurts.
I slowly opened my eyes, and was soon greeted by a white wall. I sighed out deeply and put the back of my hand on my forehead.
"Good morning Sasuke-kun." a voice by my side greeted me.
I turned my eyes to the person who spoke, and hoarsly replied, "Good morning."
Who was she again... um... Ah! I remember now it's Hinata. But what is she doing here? I thought she was here to visit Squishy, not me. I noticed her fidget. "What is it?" I asked putting on my best smile.
"O-oh how are you feeling?" she looked a little worried but I shrugged it of.
"I'm perfectly fine. Actually I'm kind of hungry."
"The food should be here in a minute I think." She said while looking at the clock. I wonder what kind of food they serve here.
We had an aimless conversation. Most of it was me asking about the place I'm in. Ok so, so far I'm a ninja. I apperantly was on team 7 and my teammates names were Naruto and Sakura while my sensei's name was Kakashi. She babbled about some other stuff consisting of the other teams. We were interrupted by a nurse coming into the room with a bowl and put it on my counter. As soon as she locked eyes with me her face got all red and she walked away in a hurry.
I looked at the bowl and asked, "What is this?"
"That's soup. You eat it with a spoon." she pointed to a metal object in the soup. What happened next was disguisting. A black thing came out of the bowl, looked at us, and went back inside the soup.
"Ugh I think I lost my appetite." I took the bowl and headed to the window.
"W-what are you doing?" She asked me.
"What does it look like? I'm dumping out the trash!" I opened the window and tilted the bowl.
"N-No don't do--" to late. The 'soup' left the bowl and was now heading down.
"Good ridance."
Hinata POV
While I was talking to Sasuke-kun, he seemed so much different from the real Sasuke. He was so much sweeter and nicer! I think I'm going to like being his friend. We both heard the door open and I quickly figured out who was coming inside. Naruto-kun and Sakura-san. My chest started to feel funny and I could feel myself blushing. It's a miracle that only Naruto captured my heart without even realizing it. I saw both of them carrying 2 bags. Probably clothes for Sasuke-kun.
"H-hello N-Naruto-kun!" I greeted him. Darn my stutter!
"Eh," he turned his head to my direction, I don't think he noticed me... "Hello Hinata!"
"Hello Hina!" Sakura-san greeted me with one of her gorgous smiles. God, I want to be like her. To be the one that Naruto-kun pays attention to. I turned my head to Sasuke-kun and he was giving me a what-is-wrong-with-you look. I blushed even more if it was possible.
I fiddled with my hands while the team 7 where talking to each other. I felt so left out, as if I weren't here. I looked up as I heard someone talk to me.
"Hinata why are you so quiet?" I heard Sasuke-kun's voice. Why was he caring about me?
"E-eh?"Gah! how do I always manage to mess up in the most stupidest situations!?
"You seem kind of lonley," he rubbed the back of his head. One of the many habits that Naruto-kun had.
"Oh well I didn't want to disturb you. I thought you wanted to see how your two teammates were like," I looked over at Naruto-kun. My heart beat sped up and I avoided his gaze while blushing. All of a sudden we heard a stomach grumble. All of our heads turned to Naruto-kun.
He sheepishly answered our not spoken question, "Heh heh I think I'm kind of hungry."
"Oy Naruto want to go to the ramen shop? I'm hungry too." Sakura-san asked him while having... a hint of a blush? No no no! This wasn't the way it was supposed to happen. I'm the one who should be asking not her! I clenched my fists while those two left.
"Hello?" Sasuke-kun waved his hand in front of my face. I looked at him with confusion.
"Can we go get something to eat I havn't had breakfest and you also didn't." Oh yeah. How did I forget about eating food?
I pondered over whether it was okay or not, he is still a traitor to the villagers eyes. Whas it even okay for a patient to go outside?
I answered him, "Sure. I know a good little cafe that barley anyone goes to but the food there is really good."
"Ok well I'm going to change then," he said as he picked up the bag of clothes that Naruto-kun and Sakura-san dropped of for him.
When we were passing by through the streets people were giving us stares. Sheesh if I were them I would be too! I looked at Sasuke-kun and noticed him walking without any care. How can just ignore everyone like that?
"So..." Sasuke-kun spoke trying to start a conversation, "What is the place called?"
"Ah, I-it's called Imoto-chan." I said, going along with the small talk.
"Eh? What kind of food do they serve their?" he gave me on of the cutest confused looks I've ever seen. Gosh, his face look's so much different when he isn't glaring.
"Ah they serve..." We continued to talk as we walked down the street. When we finally reached Imoto-chan. I asked the waitress for a table of two. When she took one peek at Sasuke-kun she blushed and led us to our tables. She handed us our menus and ran away. Weird.
Since I already knew what I was ordering, I looked at Sasuke-kun and studied his features. Wow, he looked very han-- No no no, he isn't like that. Only Naruto-kun is. I blushed and pretended to read my menu.
"Are you two ready to order?" The waitress asked us. She was blushing as she held her little notepad and pen.
"I'll have the beef udon and a vanilla shake please." Sasuke-kun spoke out first. The waitress quickly jotted it down and looked at me.
"I'll just take the ramen and a sprite please." We handed her our menus.
"Hinata..." Sasuke-kun started, "Do you like Naruto or somethig?" I saw him hold back a smile. Was it really that obvious?
My blush grew and I looked down towards the table. I could feel his gaze upon me and I gave in, "Y-yes."
By this, it felt like my face on fire. I heard him laugh. "I-it's n-n-not funny!" I stuttered out.
"No, it's not that it's funny. It's cute how you just fluster when someone mentions his name."
Augh what is he doing to me! I can't even lift my head anymore.
Once our food came we barley ate, we just had too much fun talking. Since when did I carry out full conversations? I'm so happy that I get to see the Sasuke smiling and laughing. I wonder if this is how he would've been if it wasn't for Itachi. Would've he been the person he his at the moment? I payed for the meal and we started walking back to the hospital. I never thoguht I would feel this happy with another person besides Naruto-kun.
"Ne, Sasuke-kun," I started and looked up to him, "Do you want to go somewhere else besides the hospital?" Shoot me please.
"Sure I wont mind. Where do you want to go?" he asked.
"Can we go to the park? It's always relaxing there." Gah why am I saying this?
"Mm, sure. I'm not that excited about going back into that hole." his face made a nasty expression.
I giggled, "Here just follow me I know the way."
We walked in silence. But not the akward icky kind. The nice and peaceful one. For some reason I feel like I can relax, and not feel so uptight. I glanced at Sasuke-kun, to see that he was looking at me. Our eyes locked for a split second before we both looked away. How emberassing...
"Wow, what is that?" I notice Sasuke-kun point to a lake with a little dock.
"That's a lake, want to go sit by it?"
"Sure."
As we got closer to the little dock I could see him tense up. "Hey are you okay Sasuke-kun?" I'm really worried...
"Huh? Oh... I'm fine don't worry about me." For some reason I don't think he is all right.
We sat side by side and we continued to look at the beautiful water before us. Who knew that a simple lake can have so many colors. I could see the sun setting in front of us. I took in a deep breath and let it out slowly, I feel so relaxed. I just wish Naruto-kun was here. Bah, there I go, thinking about him again. How does he always worm his way into my thoughts? He is such a mystery to me.
Third PoV
"Hey," Sasuke nudged Hinata a little bit, but she was too deep into her thoughts to notice.
"Hey we have to go, it's getting late." Sasuke pushed her a little too hard and she fell into the water.
"Kya! What was that for??" Hinata asked him as she emerged from the water.
"Thats what you get for not listening to me." He stuck out his tongue at her and ran of.
As soon as Hinata stepped out of the water she felt the slight breeze come by. She unconciously hugged herself, trying to keep warm. 'Well might as well go home,' she thought, 'It's crossing the park so I might as well go through the flower beds.' She giggled to herself.
Hinata PoV
Ahh, it's so cold. Darn Sasuke-kun!! Why did he have to push me into the water like that? Also run of like that without even helping me.
I passed the little clearing at the park that had a bench were I'd always see couples sit. Sure on any other day I wouldn't care but know... I felt my heart ache. No! I didn't want to look. How could Sakura-san betray me like that? She knew how much I loved Naruto-kun. I bit my lip, feeling the tears starting to well up. In front of me, I saw Sakura-san and Naruto-kun... I'm so pathetic I can't even think it. Someone tapped me behind my shoulder and I looked back. My tears started to fall. The first thing I noticed was onyx eyes. Sasuke...
"Are you okay? Whats wrong?" Why is he caring what happened to me. I highly doubt he even concideres me as a friend. I ignored him and continued crying.
"... Don't ignore me." Just leave me alone already.
I heard him shift. I guess he finally figured out why I'm crying. I felt something warm cover my hand.
"Cmon, lets go you might get sick." I didn't respond to him. He helped me up to my feet.
"Oh I guess I don't know were you live," he chuckled while still holding my hand. Thank you...
I started to lead him to my house, my hand gripping his a little tighter. I absolutley ignored Haruno and Uzumaki. I just don't know what I will say when I face them tommarrow. I'm happy Sasuke-kun isn't asking me any questions. I think he knows that I'll only be hurt more if he did. I felt a smile form through my tears.
Thank you so much, Sasuke.
-cough- I know I lied T-T.
