Author's Note: Hey Guys! Thanks to those who reviewed, read, and followed the story. To those who say Sasuke is OOC. Yea he is, but I'll try to make him not that much of a OOC. This chapter will be formatted to Hinata's POV and a quick one of Sasuke's. Hope you enjoy this chapter!
Hinata woke up to a very uncomfortable pillow. Not bothering to open her eyes, she punched the "pillow" hoping to fluff it up. To her dismay, there came a scream of pain from her "pillow", and she immediately bolted up. Looking around the room, she concluded that this was Sasuke's house and turned to see Sasuke rubbing his bruised chest in pain.
"S-s-s-sorry, S-Sasuke-kun. I thought y-you were m-my pillow." She said while turning 5 shades of red due to embarrassment.
"Hn"
Seeing his bare chest she blushed another few shades and quickly checked if she was clothed. Sighing in relief, she got up to use the bathroom. Hinata tried to recall what had happened yesterday that led her to sleepover. Finally remembering that Sasuke had asked her out, she wasn't sure if she'd accept. After all, a part of her still had feelings for Naruto, even if he was with Sakura. Deciding to not address the issue unless Sasuke brought it up, she exited the bathroom and was immediately hit with the smell of food.
"Morning, h-how's your c-chest?" Hinata said taking a seat at the kitchen island.
"Hn"
"I'll take that as a y-yes. So w-hat are y-you making?"
"Pancakes" Sasuke replied, while unloading the pancakes onto both plates
Hinata would never imagine The Great Uchiha Sasuke to cook her breakfast. Then again, if she told her a year ago that she'd be close friends with Sasuke, she'd tell you to lay off on the alcohol. Hinata was interuppted from her thoughts when hit with a question.
"Do you have any missions today?" Sasuke asked while serving the pancakes.
"N-no. Why?"
"Just wondering"
"Never mind, just remembered I was assigned an A ranked mission scheduled for today." Hinata said remembering what Lady Hokage assigned her.
"What type of mission?" Sasuke asked while munching down the last of his pancakes
"I-I think it's spying."
"Hn"
Finishing her meal, Hinata bid farewell to Sasuke and quickly met her team at the entrance gates.
"Gentle Fist!" Hinata yelled while charging through enemy lines
She didn't know where her team was, but they had called for backup about an hour ago. They were noticed during their mission and ambushed by about 300 sound and rogue ninjas. Hinata felt a sting on her leg and fresh cuts on her arm. She was then hit with a direct hit to the stomach sending her into a tree. They'd been fighting for at least 3 hours. She'd lost count of how many ninjas she'd kill and how many backup ninjas there were. Using the last bit of her energy, Hinata tried to find out where her teammates were. Coming to the conclusion that Ino was unconscious, Kiba unconscious, which left Naruto and Shikamaru still standing and fighting. Snapping out of her thoughts, Hinata felt a terrible surge of pain run through her eyes. The last thing she heard was her name being called before blacking out.
Sasuke had been in the training grounds when he was summoned by the Hokage. He was informed that there'd been a call for backup from a recent team that had been assigned to spy on the Sound Village. He was summoned along with Sakura and Lee to help their comrades.
Arrriving at the battlefield, they concluded that only Naruto and Shikamaru were still conscious leaving Ino,Kiba, and Hinata unconscious. Sasuke and Lee went to backup Naruto and Shikamaru while Sakura stayed behind them to heal their comrades. Forcing the enemies to retreat, Sasuke rushed to see if Hinata was alright.
"Are they going to be okay?" Naruto asked while bandaging his cuts.
"Yes, they're lucky they weren't bothered with after falling unconscious. They'll still need a few days of rest at the hospital once we reach home." Sakura replied while healing Kiba.
Meanwhile Hinata was stuck stuck in a genjustu
"W-where am I?" Hinata said while walking a never ending path
"Hinata, why couldn't you save us?"
"I-ino? Is that you?" She said, fear in her voice
"Hinata, where are you? I'm worried"
"Neji nii-san?"
"Hinata, father is disappointed."
"Hanabi! W-what's going on?"
"Hinata, you're a disgrace to the Hyuuga clan. You don't deserve the Byakugan. Give me those eyes!"
"F-father!"
"HINATA, wake up!"
"S-Sasuke-kun!"
"Hinata wake up, the leaf needs you, I still need you."
"Sasuke-kun." Hinata whispered before snapping back to reality and hearing everyone's voices hovering over her. Where was she and why was everything so black?
"Hinata! She's awake, get the medics!"
Sakura came rushing in and checked her body for any problems or symptoms.
"Hinata-chan. Could you open your eyes for a minute?"
Hinata opened her eyes but why was everything black, she couldn't see a damn thing.
"Great, Sasuke, Neji, Hanabi, Lord Hiashi come to my office please"
It was then that she heard something that would change her life forever. Hinata was blind. Blocking out the cries of denial from her family members, she could only focus on one thing. Blindness. Would anyone even like her anymore. Will Sasuke still want her? Will she still be able to be a shinobi? Was it temporary or permanent? All these questions haunting her.
"I'm blind" she whispered to herself, sadness and fear clear in her voice
