Sasuke POV
I neared The Village Hidden in the Leaves, checking out the place for Tobi. It was still partly destroyed after the battle with Pein. I heard that Naruto was the ninja that stopped him. I felt a bit of pride that it was Naruto that did him in. The arrogant Pein lost to the villiage idiot. I laughed to myself….
"You should not laugh to yourself. Other people might start thinking you are crazy." A voice I had now come to recognize said.
" How is it that I never sense you coming? And why are you here?" I questioned.
" I have no chakra…thus you cannot sense me and I show up when you are of need of me" She stated, her glasses hiding any emotion behind them.
"Hinata was hospitalized after the battle with Pein. She is weak now. They will kill her soon. Go to the graveyard where they buried your family. You will find her there." The girl with glasses said walking away. Then she was gone. I was too curious…I headed to the graveyard forgetting that it might be a trap and acknowledging that I found something about this whole situation intriguing.
Once at the graveyard I saw their graves. I was too bitter and dry, I did not even feel sad anymore. I just felt empty. No one was there, the moon was bright in the sky and I could hear the wind as it passed through the trees. It was so calm…graveyards should be grim, not peaceful and, yet, I felt better than I had in a long time. Then I saw it. A single rose was on my mom's grave. I glance at all the graves…they all had red roses on them. I used my sharingan and I saw her with a handlful of roses putting them on my family graves.
Hinata was doing this? It was not the girl I knew as a child though. Her hair was longer, her eyes where glowing pupilless in the moonlight, and her large curves were bundled tight by the bandages she was wrapped in. She was pretty…it a cute way. She was like a fairy. I snuck up close to get a better look. She was not wearing shoes and it looked as if she was wearing a bath robe. Then I felt another presence, good thing I was hidden.
"Lady Hinata? What are you doing out here?" a man asked.
"I like to come here and show respect to those lost" she replied. "Have you finally come to kill me?"
"So you knew. Unfortunately Lady Hinata you did not survive your fight with Pein. Your injuries were too much for you and you just could not heal." he stated bring out a knife. Hinata just stood there looking down at the graves. He lunged at her and it was clear that she was not going to fight. She was accepting her death. The only sign of a struggle she made was the definite eye she aimed at her attacker.
I could not just sit there hiding like some coward. I step forward and killed the man in one slice of my sword. I wiped the blood off my sword and stared at the underdressed ninja before me. Her eyes spilling tears, she looked almost sad that I had saved her. I held out my hand to her.
Hinata POV
I was not afraid to die. I was a ninja. But I was not dead. I had been saved by a man with glowing red eyes that looked so familiar. I was still injuried, so I knew that if this intruder wanted to kill me he could. This man was so familiar somehow. He had a dark porcelain face, hair that spiked out slightly, and a strong powerful frame. Then it clicked….this was Sasuke Uchiha. Tears filled my eyes, as I looked at the man every girl was in love with and the betrayer of my village. He held out his hand. I just stared at him.
"Why were you putting roses on my family's graves?"
Wait…is he talking to me. What am I going to do? I cannot talk to him. He is an Uchiha. I am half way naked out in a graveyard with roses. I probable looked so stupid. Oh Naruto… I wish you would save me.
"Are you going to answer me" he asked grabbing roughly at my arm...Of course I am not going to answer him. Is he crazy or something?
Then I notice him look down at my dress…or in this case undress. I was just wearing a loose button up gown that was barely closed and bandages from the battle. I was always so well covered. I hid in my baggy clothes, and now I was being held by my crush's best friend in hospital clothes. I blushed so deeply. The blush caught his eye and for a second I saw something primal flash in his eyes. I suddenly felt like he was eating me with his eyes. There was not an inch of me he did not see. It made me extremely uncomfortable. Was it lust in his eyes? No….it was not possible. I must be imagining things. Afterall I had just had a near death experience, right?
