I'm really really sorry about the really really late update and I really really hate saying 'really really'. Yes I know, I'm crazy…

I'm going to try to update sooner now but I have school and if I don't get good grades I won't be able to use the computer T.T. So I don't promise anything

And, thank you for the reviews. They make me really really happy (here I go with the 'really really' again)

Now on with the story!

Oh, yeah! Almost forgot! Beware of major OCCness because of alcohol.

Chap 4: Drunk

Hinata had fallen asleep the second she fell on her bed. She slept the whole day and only woke up after midnight when everyone else on the household, except for the guards, was sleeping. Since she wouldn't be able to fall asleep again she decided to eat something and go train like she had planned earlier.

She always lost track of time when she was training, but she knew it was very late and no one would normally be out at this hour of the night. So when she heard the sound of twigs cracking near where she was training it was only natural for her to attack whatever made the noise. She didn't hear a hiss of pain or anything like that but instead she heard the sound of something falling. And by the sound it made she assumed it was a person.

"Please don't let me have killed someone" She thought worriedly while going the direction of the person. She always hated unnecessary killing. The only way she would kill someone was if she was on a mission. Then it was her duty and she didn't fell bad about it, of course it took her some time to not fell bad about it. When she got to where she had heard the noise come from she stopped in her tracks.

It has Sasuke. Not only that but it was fallen Sasuke. It seemed that when he dodged he had lost balance and fell. That was weird; Sasuke is one of the best. How could he have lost balance so easily?

"Stupid kunai" She heard him mumble to himself but since it has so quiet she heard him anyway. Odd, Sasuke was complaining out loud.

"Sasuke?" She wasn't sure it was him anymore. It was just too weird.

"Hinata? What are you doing here?" He raised an eyebrow at her looking sincerely confused.

"Ok. Weirder, Sasuke his now letting his emotions show"

"What are you doing here?"

"What do you mean? I live here!" With that and the smell that was coming out of him she managed to understand the situation. Ha was completely and utterly drunk.

"You live at the training grounds?"

"Oh. Look at that. I could have sworn I was at the Uchiha compound." He said again more to himself than to her. She tried really hard not to giggle. It seemed that drunk Sasuke was far more amusing then regular Sasuke.

"I can help you home" She said not hiding the amusement in her voice.

"That won't be necessary" He said trying to get up only to get back down.

"Are you sure?" She said already putting his arm on her shoulders for support.

"Do whatever you want." And here he goes again being the ungrateful bastard he was.

They walked in silence, save for the incoherent noises that came from Sasuke that she decided to ignore. The streets were completely deserted; not even a stray cat could be seen. There weren't any stars and you couldn't see the moon because of the dark clouds that were in the way.

"I hope it doesn't rain" She thought worriedly. Between walking on the pouring rain that was going to come and staying alone with a drunken Sasuke at the deserted Uchiha compound; she preferred to get wet.

She was startled out of her thought when his body came closer to hers and making her stumble a little to the side.

"You smell nice" He said with his face next to her ear; warm breath making her shiver. This wasn't good. She decided to ignore him, maybe that way he would shut up.

"You are too nice" He continued after a while. "What kind of idiot helps a person who was nothing but rude to you most of your life?"

Had she not been told that at least once by everyone she knew she would be embarrassed. Now she was mad at herself for it being true. Is it wasn't she probably wouldn't be in this situation.

Finally arriving at his house at the Uchiha compound, she had a little trouble getting in since she had to take his and hers shoes off. Then she decided to lay him on the couch because there was no way she would climb the stair with him clinging on her without falling and getting both of them injured.

"I better get him some covers and a pillow. It's going to get cold soon" She looked at the window and saw that the wind was already beginning to get stronger; it was only a matter of time to start raining.

When she came back with the covers and the pillow Sasuke was already asleep. She covered him and put the pillow under his head getting to close to his face and caching the smell that was on him. It made her dizzy only by smelling it. He would have an hell of an hangover in the morning.

"I could make him something…" She made her way to his kitchen, she always knew how to find a kitchen. It surprised her that it was actually full. "It's been not even to day that you are here and you have everything you need already…" . His bedroom has furnished too; as plain and devoid of any emotion as she expected.

She started to make food for him to eat the next morning and some tea; the only thing he would have to do was heat it. She found some medicine that would help with the head ache that he would definitely have in the morning and put it in the table next to the couch with a glass of water.

She looked at him while he was sleeping. He frowned even in his sleep but that didn't make him look less handsome than he already has. One thing that never changed about Sasuke was his looks.

"He just so much like Mikoto-kaasan. But his frown he definitely got it from Fugaku-tousan, he looks like him when he frowns…" He started to move in his sleep and woke up suddenly sitting up abruptly. He was sweating and panting lightly.

"Sasuke?" She said worriedly putting her hand on his forehead. He wasn't feverish. He took her hand out off his forehead and squeezed tightly but didn't hurt; he didn't seem to notice what he was doing.

"Sasuke? Can you hear me?" He laid back down still not answering and still holding her hand.

"You smell nice" He said for the second time

"I wonder why I can't forget you." She said already knowing he wouldn't remember anything later.

"You are too nice" He repeated looking at her but not really seeing her.

"I wonder why you keep walking away from me."

"Because I couldn't bear to lose you too" He said before going to sleep again.

"But you did lose me…" She whispered not letting the tears built up on her eyes. She let go of his hand and went out of the house.

She walked through the streets slowly, it had began raining softly and she didn't even pay attention; her mind was far away on one of the dearest memories she had.

Flashback

Six years old Sasuke and five years old Hinata were playing at his backyard. Her mother had had Hanabi not long ago and the birth had some complications that ended up on her death. Hinata wasn't sad anymore though; she understood that her mother had died happily and gone to a beautiful place such as herself. But with the birth of Hanabi she had been spending much more time on the Uchiha compound with Sasuke than she did before so that she wouldn't get in the way of others in her house. She didn't mind though, she loved being with her 'other family'. They were just so great to her.

They were currently 'playing' at the backyard. They were actually throwing shurikens at a nearby tree. That's what you get for having everybody on your family being a ninja; old kids games were replaced by training.

"I-I got it!" Chibi Hinata jumped of happiness when she was finally able to get the shuriken on the middle of the tree were they were aiming

"Finally!" Chibi Sasuke said smiling at her a little

"Sa-sasuke-chan d-don't b-be a me-meanie!" Hinata said whining.

"Don't call me Sasuke-chan!!" He screamed making her flinch

"B-but Mi-mikoto-kaa-kaasan ca-calls you th-that…"

"That's different. And stop stuttering."

"I-I'll try" She said blushing of embarrassment by not being able to say a phrase without stuttering.

"Tch. You're hopeless." He said getting up from the tree he was leaning at and starting throwing the shurikens at the same tree Hinata was; the only difference was that he got every one right.

"Ne…Sa-sasuke-kun?" She said shyly only above a whisper but he heard it anyway; he was used to her soft quiet voice.

"What?" He said not looking back at her and continuing throwing his shurikens

"Do y-you know what lo-lo…love is?" She said blushing so much she thought the heat that was getting out of her face could be seen.

Sasuke had missed his target and fallen in surprise. He sat and looked at the blushing girl next to him like she had grown an extra head. He was blushing a little too.

"What kind of question is that?!?"

"Wel-well, it just th-that I always he-heard Kaasan telling me t-that she loved me and th-that made me fell ha-happy but I ne-never really kn-knew what exa-exactly was it." Wow, her stuttering was getting better.

"Well…love is…is when…is this thing that…" The problem was; Sasuke didn't quite knew what love is also.

"And here I was thinking that you were smart for you age" Said a voice behind then. They turned around to see a ten years old Chunnin standing there. He was twice their size and had long black hair in a loose pony tail behind him and he, unlike his little brother, looked more like his father. None other than Uchiha Itachi was standing there.

"Aniki!"

"Ita-itachi-niisan!"

"So, you two want to know what love is?" He said smirking at the two little kids that began blushing again.

"No. She wants to know what love it" Sasuke said pointing at Hinata, who blushed even more.

"Well, so let me tell you what love is Hinata-chan" Itachi said kneeling right in front of her, getting so close that made her blush even more. Absently Sasuke clenched his fists.

"Rea-really Ita-itachi-niisan?"

"Of course. Well let's see… Love isn't a think; it's a felling that you have for the people dear to you. Generally when you love someone you don't care for what they look like, how they act or even how old they are. You just want to be with them forever." Hinata looked at him in awe, then she stole a quick glance at Sasuke who was staring at her with a weird look on his face that she never seen. She looked back on the ground, blushing. Itachi, not missing their little exchange decided to go on. "But of course there are different kinds of love; parents love, friendly love, brotherly love and of course the most important; love that you fell for the one you love the most. True love."

" Thi-think I get it now niisan" She said smiling at him. Her shy sweet smile that made people go warm inside. Yes, not even Itachi was immune to it.

Later that day when she was on her bed back at the Hyuuga manor she could stop thinking about Itachi's words.

"I want to be with you forever…Sasuke-kun" She said with a smile before drifting off to sleep.

End of flashback

"Argh!!!" She screamed after remembering all of this. As if on cue a thunder went off with her and it started to pour. That was good; that way she could tell herself that the water on her face was from the rain.

"What do I do now? I can't possibly go home; it's all the other way through the village. I'll end up getting sick and not being able to do my work at the hospital. What do I do?" Then she remembered who lived near where she was and went to the perfect person's house. It was rather improbable that she would have to answer to any uncomfortable questions and she wouldn't end up sick.

She got there she knocked on the door and waited. There was the sound of movements inside and it seemed that the person had knocked over something. After several curses the door was finally open and the person looked at her wide eyed and raised a eyebrow in confusion.

"Sorry to bother you but could I stay here until the storm passes?"

"Sure, come in Hinata." Said…

Hahaha!

I'm mean!

I kept debating with myself if I should tell who it is that she is asking to stay with but I decided not to. It makes you want to read more

I loved writing that flashback, it was cute wasn't it?

Please review, it'll make me write sooner.
