You are all awesome!

Driving back he felt his stomach turn, here it came slowly… "A-chu!" he sneezed. Great he was sick.

He turned on the heater on his car, as he felt the warmth he couldn't help but think of her, of Hinata.

His first day in school wasn't that bad, I mean for the fact that all the girls drooled over him, and that his was about to get 'beat up' Ha as if they could really do that.

He'd been in the Akatsuki–No he wasn't going to think of that that was his past.

That was the reason he moved schools.

Anyway like he was saying his first day was not bad at all.

Arriving to the as he called it lonely and dark side of the village he parked his car and waited for the rain to take a small pause.

Once the rain wasn't as heavy he opened the door and walked to the three bedroom house his dad had bought but never moved into.

He was too busy going and coming to stay in one place.

He traveled a lot, so he had given the keys to him as a mom would buy her kid a toy.

The house was his, and only his.

He unlocked the door and headed inside, leaving his wet shoes and shirt outside.

He headed upstairs to hi room and removed the wet clothes he still had and headed into the shower.

Neji opened the door for her, "Thank you" she said. He let the dogs shake themselves before he let them inside

"Hinata you are all wet." she heard her father tell her "-you are going to get sick." His father sighed "Something came up at work; I'm going to have to go to Suna tomorrow morning–for the week."

"The whole w-week?" Hinata asked her father.

Hiashi nodded "I'll be back Monday, I promise-" he said and then he remembered

"I know Hanabi doesn't start school until next week so she's going as well. I'm leaving both of you in charge." Neji and Hinata nodded.

"Of course" Neji told him Uncle. "Hinata, go change before you get sick, I'm going to bed. I have a long day tomorrow"

"Good night, father" Hinata told him.

"Goodnight Uncle" Neji said, Hiashi said goodnight and headed up to his room to rest.

Now that Hiashi was gone, Neji turned to Hinata "What were you...I mean...I thou-?"

He saw her, soaking wet and he sighed, "-you better shower before you get sick."

She gave him a worried look but managed to smile, she knew he was going to 'talk' to her later.

Might as well be prepared for Neji and for the questions Neji had prepared the minute he saw Sasuke.

Knowing Neji there was also going to be frustration; a lot of frustration.

"Yeah" she told him, and turned heading upstairs she bit her lips, "G-great" she mumbled under her breath.

Taking off her wet clothes and putting them in her basket she stepped in the shower.

Her long indigo hair felt cold on her skin, but the warm water soon made her and her bones melt with relaxation.

"I hate storms-" she told herself. She felt sick; it wasn't that she was getting a cold.

It was that–images of what happened two years ago came to her head.

The water that once relaxed her made her drown, drown in the pain he had caused her; two years ago.

"You're going to enjoy this, princess" the voice, that voice; his voice echoed in her ears.

Hinata closed her eyes, but the voice never left.

She'd run just like today. She had been trapped like she was today when she ran from Sasuke.

"You're beautiful. You're mine." Her body was exposed to his distinctive purple eyes.

He'd chased after her, and grabbed her dragging her to an ally.

She got a good look at his face, before he hit her and then began kissing her neck.

"S-stop!" she yelled in the shower, she was experiencing it again, after two years.

"I can't!" he said sounding mad "It's my only way to enter. The only way to enter is to enter to you first!"

She felt his hands on her body, the still warm water now felt cold and freezing on her body as it covered it with goose-bumps.

"I'll start slow-" he said as he ripped her shirt.

Hinata felt the cold fall air on her, "P-please d-don't. Stop!" she cried before he slapped her again, "Shut up!" he yelled.

Hinata' eyes were drowning in her own tears; she was on the floor now, with him on top.

He had taken off her black skirt and underwear.

She cried for him to stop before…she screamed; he was inside her.

Pain hit her body as she cried and begged for him to stop "Hush, baby girl, I told you this is how I'm entering" he voice was rough and cold.

She'd past out, the pain was too much for her, next thing she knew she was in the hospital.

She'd cry every night for almost three months; it was her first time; her first time.

Not even seventeen and she'd been raped, by gang member, it had been his initiation.

It had been his ticket to great power, but her ticket to this…"No!" she screamed again.

"ARF ARF ARF" Kuro who had been lying just outside her bathroom door began barking non-stop for over three minutes.

"Hinata!" Hiashi, her father's voice was heard "Open the door, honey!" he screamed.

"Hinata!" Neji' voice was heard shortly after her fathers.

Reality hit, she was in the shower, the warm water still hitting her bear skin.

She closed the water and wrapped herself with her long towel and opened the door.

Both Hiashi and Neji entered and saw her red swollen eyes "F-father!" she cried in his arm.

"Its okay honey, daddy's here" he said hugging her tighter, Neji looked away.

He couldn't see his cousin like this; she'd never been the same after her attack.

Kuro pushed him-self threw Hiashi and Neji and made his way towards Hinata and licked the tears away.

"K-Kuro" Hinata said his name, after slowly whispering in her ear that everything was going to be okay, she pulled herself together.

"I'm going to cancel my trip-"

"No!-" Hinata told her father "-I d-don't w-want to be the c-cause of canceling y-your trip"

"Hinata, you're more important than some stupid-"

"Please f-father" she begged him "-g-go I'll be f-fine."

He didn't want to upset her more than she was already "Okay" he told her.

"Thank you" she said, after half an hour, she got up from the floor and slowly let go of her, "I'll be in my room if you need anything okay?" he told her and she nodded.

Kuro stayed with her, lying down by the door as she began changing to her sweats and shirt.

Once changed Hinata sat on her bed with Kuro on the end of the bed.

A small knock was heard and Kuro stood up alert "May I enter?" it was Neji.

"Yes" her voice was a mere whisper but her heard it and opened the door.

He saw his cousin sitting on the bed hugging he knees and it crushed him; he hated seeing Hinata like this.

"You okay?" he asked even thought it was a stupid question, of course he knew she wasn't okay.

She nodded "Yeah, t-thank you" she told him.

Neji looked at her and she smiled, and he sat next to her and sighed

"I-if only I'd been there-" his fingers dug on the covers and clenched his fists, his knuckles turning white until he felt her hand on tops of his.

"Neji-" he looked at her, tears now forming in her eyes "-I-its not y-your f-fault." she told him, the tears never fell as she whipped them and smiled.

She was always smiling even thought inside she cried "T-thank you" she told him.

Neji wasn't much of a smile-r he was the serious type and quite–but his lips slowly rose showing a very handsome smile.

"You know N-Neji, you look h-handsome when y-you s-smile" she told him.

Neji slightly shook his head, "I actually came here to talk to you, but Uchiha-" his and Hinata's smile was gone "-but you need some time alone." he finished telling her.

She knew he wasn't going to ask her, now but later like tomorrow. She wasn't of the hook.

"Okay, well goodnight Hinata"

"Night Neji" she told him as he slowly closed the door.

Hinata laid on her pillow, Kuro stood up and moved next to her "Y-you're the b-best guard d-dog Kuro"

He let a deep breath and whined.

She wasn't afraid of closing her eyes, unlike before.

I mean bed before she couldn't sleep but know Hinata was afraid that she'd see and hear him again.

She turned to face Kuro' dark muzzle and she smiled then in the corner of her eyes she saw a piece of clothe that caught her attention.

It was Sasuke' jacket, she got up and grabbed it, it was wet.

That's right he'd handed it to her after he opened the door for her, thought she never took off hers she held on to it.

That was until he took her home, and once again opened the door, that' when she had put it on just shortly after Neji had put the umbrella over her head.

Sasuke isn't a jerk like Naruto tells everyone.

Naruto –he wanted to 'beat' Sasuke just because she's bumped into him and he responded back with an attitude.

What about her feelings towards him, are they the same as freshmen year? She didn't want to think about it.

Without realizing her eyelids soon became heavy and she had fallen asleep.

...

Sasuke laid on his bed shirtless; he couldn't help but think of why Hinata had looked so scared so terrified, why she always had Kuro with her.

She wasn't blind, that was for sure. She didn't have a walking problem, so why the dog; what was up with the mutts?

He turned to look at the clock 12:47a.m, t was late and he couldn't sleep.

What was wrong with him? He'd never been this restless before.

Well not until today. Not until he talked to her, not until he thought about what was wrong with Hinata.

With a deep and long sigh he closed his eyes and with a smile he said "Hinata" he said, then his smile faded "-what's wrong?"

...

Beep beep beep, the alarm beeped waking Kuro "ARF!" Hinata heard Kuro and her eyes opened no nightmares. Good.

"Hinata?" he father asked, "Yes?" she said, he opened the door and saw his daughter better than yesterday night "-we're leaving to Suna."

Right her father and sister were leaving today. She got up walked towards him "Right, I a-almost forgot" she told him.

"Woohoo, Suna here we come!" Hinata heard Hanabi from down the hall.

"-Hinata! you're up," she nodded at Hanabi "-and y-you're excited" she smiled.

"Yeah!" she answered her.

"Okay, well I let the dogs stay here, and I have asked Kurenai to check up on you two."

"We'll be fine" Hinata said.

"-are you going to be okay Hinata?" he asked concerned, she nodded "Y-yes."

"Neji!" Hanabi yelled to her cousin.

"Yes?" he said coming upstairs.

"We are out!" she smiled, he hugged her little cousin "Take care" he told her as she practically ran down the stairs.

"I'll call you when we get there" Hiashi told Neji, who only nodded. Both Neji and Hinata walked Hiashi outside.

Hiashi unlocked the pearl Cadillac Escalade truck and Hanabi as well as for himself got in and drove away.

"T-time for s-school-" Hinata said out loud. Neji raised an eyebrow "Are you sure you want to attend? How did you sleep last night?" he asked her.

"Yes im sure-" she told him "-fine Neji. Do not worry for me."

"You know when you say do not worry I worry right" he told her. she nodded "Neji-"

He sighed "Okay"

"So did you talk to her?" Naruto asked Kiba, who shook his head, "I didn't see her after well she left-"

"Naruto let the poor girl breath" Shikamaru told him reasonably

"Shika, I don't want to lose my best friend!"

"You will if you kept doing stupid things!" Sakura told him.

"Hinata doesn't hold grudges" Shino finally said something; Naruto released his breath "I hope so."

Kiba shrugged "Shino's right, I mean Hinata is very forgiving."

"However there is still the matter of Sasuke-" Shino added.

Naruto, Sakura and Kiba looked at him when Naruto asked "-H-how did you find out?"

"Please, its high school everyone finds out at a point. Tsk even asleep I found out" Shikamaru commented.

"What were you thinking trying to take on a hunk like hottie-Sasuke?" they heard Ino ask.

"Pig!" Sakura yelled, a vain popped and Ino yelled "Forehead girl!"

"Man, you girls are such a drag" Shikamaru told them as he and Chouji left leaving the group.

Sasuke walked and past by them, not saying or even looking at them. Naruto' face dropped and yelled his name "Sasuke."

Sasuke stopped and turned around "What?" he said with his emotionless voice.

Naruto stretched out his hand "Sorry" Sasuke looked at him. What was he sorry for? Oh right the 'want to beat you up' thing.

"Whatever" he told him as he kept walking.

"So he accepted my apology?" Naruto asked his friends.

Shino like always didn't say anything, Kiba and Sakura shrugged "Don't know"

Naruto entered the class room and saw Hinata talking to her cousin.

"Hey Hinata I hav-"

"Everyone tke their seats. That means you Naruto!" Mr. Umino said.

"But-"

"-Now!" he said impatient. He sighed and mumbled something unpleasant under his breath and sat down, it had to wait after school. Great.

Sai had shortly arrived just as everyone had giggled at Naruto "Where were you?" Sakura asked him.

He smiled "Running late." He said taking his seat

"Okay, today is going to be the first day of the team, and next Tuesday I'll switch it up. Now if you all can go to your team member"

He looked at his list and repeated the first names only

"Again that is 1-Hinata and Sasuke.2- Sakura and Sai. 3- Tenten and Neji.4- Ino and Chouji. 5- Kiba and Shino.

He stopped to take a breath then continued "-7-Shikamaru along with Rock Lee and Naruto, and finally 8-Nami and Katsu"

Everyone was standing up going with their two person group, with all the commotion Hinata stood in her seat when he sat next to her.

"Looks like we are going to be together for a week huh?" he told her. She nodded "Y-yes-" he looked at her, she didn't say anything else.

Okay he'd just met her yesterday but he had a feeling she wasn't like this.

He had to find out what was wrong with her. He had a week.

She had forgotten about the teams, and she was with him; with Sasuke.

"Each team will be have the free choice of picking a topic on what you will have to write and researched about" the class (and by class I meant Naruto) moaned.

He shook his head slightly and continued "-You will have to type a two page paper on it, as well as a poster. Just as long as two teams don't pick the same topic it will be okay. One more thing-"

DING, they were saved by the bell.

Fourth period, best and worst class ever; best class because it was the last class, and worst class because it felt forever before it ended.

Today of all days the lame Kakashi teacher had made them read four chapters and take note. Boring!

Shikamaru was of course asleep.

Chouji was eating, no surprise there.

Ino and Sakura were getting 'pretty' for the jerk Sasuke, who simply looked like he wanted to get the heck out of there.

Shino was reading his bug book, creepy.

Rock lee was reading and taking notes, as well as the strict Neji.

Tenten was texting and reading, she's a multi-tasker-person-doing-all-at-the-same-time-and-finishing-with-a- good-grade.

Naruto was quite, looking at Hinata. She'd been done reading and now she was looking outside the window.

The day ended and Naruto (still) felt like total utter crap.

Hinata had not eaten with them during lunch and right after fourth she and Neji were nowhere to be seen.

Had she gone home, or somewhere else?

"She's been more quiet that usual, hadn't she?" Chouji told his group of friends, who by now where walking down Konoha road.

"She didn't look good, she looked sick." Ino told them.

Sakura nodded "Yeah Ino is right, she did look unlike herself-" she looked at Kiba "-and like Kiba said she doesn't hold grudges"

"But she didn't even say hi or anything, that's not like her!" Naruto yelled in frustration.

"Even best friends fight" Shino told him, Shikamaru nodded "He's right-"

Naruto thought about it "Hey wait a minute. Aren't you and Chouji like BFF's?"

"So?" Shikamaru said giving him a bored look.

"-you never fight!"

"Because we are both guys" Shikamaru explained to the blonde.

Chouji smiled and added "-we both like guys stuff, and well we really don't get angry when someone tries to 'beat' up a jerk"

As they simply told him "Give her time to herself" Sakura told him, he nodded sadly "I know. I will." He whispered.

"So are you ready to talk?" she heard his voice "T-talk about w-what Sasuke?"

"About everything" he said. Never in his life had he wanted to hear about someone's life so bad.

"N-no-" she told him sadly. His heart seemed to break as slowly tears began to form "-It's a l-long and p-painful s-story" she whispered.

"I got a week" he told her. Those words, his words made Hinata look up at Sasuke.

He was given his week to listen to her, I mean they week was for a project, which they had to do no matter what.

But he was willing to listen to her. The thing was; was Hinata willing to trust him, trust him with everything?

It was worth a shot. She sighed "O-okay" she told him, but this time there was no smile.

in your dreams as well you were right about Hinata being raped but not by an ex.

The question for all you reviewers is WHO? Can you figure it out, I gave you guy's clue. Ja ne!

P.S-This is for in your dreams as well: Kuro he's a guard dog, which was trained to attack anyone that would try to touch or hurt his master, in which that case is Hinata.

Hope you like this chapter, once last thing I changed it to rated M just in case ^_^.
