Title: Will you be mine?

Summery: Hinata was trying to be a student who didn't stand out. But, then a week before Valentine's Day, an anonymous love poem finds itself in her locker! Will she ever figure out who wrote it?

Disclaimer: I don't own any Naruto characters, so in your face!

HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY! The holiday that I don't really like… It's ironic…

He walked in and thanked the person who held the elevator for him. But was shocked, when he saw it was the person he would least expect at a therapists office….

Hinata

Chapter Four: Everything's Not Perfect

"Sasuke?" Hinata asked while blushing. What an odd place to meet him. It seemed that what the whole student body didn't know was that they both went to therapy. Hinata usually went on Tuesdays, but Dr. Mitarashi, or 'Anko' as she had said to call her had to reschedule. But now the elevator seemed a bit crowded… Hinata was not really a people person. She often got nervous around others that she didn't really know well. Her father decided that therapy would be the best thing for her, and the fact that she was almost murdered.

Sasuke looked at Hinata and tried to blush as little as he could. He knew almost everything about her, but never suspected that she was in therapy.

"My therapist rescheduled…"she said in an almost whisper as Sasuke gave her a questionable look.

Sasuke pressed the button to the ground floor.

The light for the 17th floor had just passed. They both stood awkwardly in the elevator. Sasuke, because he was standing beside the girl he loved, and Hinata because she just has a nervous tendency.

Hinata played with the strap from her handbag, as the elevator music played in the background. Really, why did they play that stuff.

Sasuke caught a glimpse of her as she had her head down, and her bangs covered most of her face. As soon as she looked up she caught him staring as he quickly turned away.

As the elevator passed the 14th floor, the machine suddenly stopped. The lights flickered and died as the lift shook. Hinata panicked as she grabbed Sasuke's hand. After 30 seconds, the emergency lights went on.

"W-what happened." Hinata asked Sasuke. He looked down at his hand. Hinata had gripped it rather tightly. Hinata blushed and let go to Sasuke's disappointment.

"I think it was a power outage…" Sasuke said as he tried to use the emergency phone. Of course, it just happened to be out. Sasuke hit the phone a couple of times before he took a seat on the floor. Hinata sighed and sat on the floor opposite to him. She had a bit of trouble because she was wearing a medium length skirt.

"So… what do you think we should do now?" Hinata asked.

"There's nothing to do but wait. At least the elevator music is gone." Sasuke replied.

A few minutes passed, which felt like hours to them. Sasuke decided that he should calm Hinata down. She was still fiddling with the strap of her purse.

"Therapy sucks." Sasuke said in order to start up a conversation.

"I-I find it rather useful…" Hinata replied.

"Why?"

"B-because I-it helps."

"How?" Sasuke was rather bored, but he was interested on why a girl who was almost perfect needed it.

"To help me cope…" Hinata said as her eyes glittered with tears.

"Oh great!" Sasuke thought. He had just made the girl he wanted to be with cry.

Unfortunately, Sasuke really didn't know how to handle a girl who was crying, or about to cry. He took- well sat on the floor beside her. At least he knew the pain he saw in her eyes… The pain of a lost loved one.

"What happened?" Sasuke asked sadly.

"My mother died, because of me… They were after me not her!" Hinata started.

'They were after her?' Sasuke thought deeply. He was angry that he was not there to protect her.

"My father is a detective. A few years back he put a drug lord in jail…" she started as she took a deep breath. She had no idea why she was telling him this.

"The guy had some cronies, who decided to try to get back at my father. They decided that the best thing to do was kill his eldest daughter. A man broke into the house one night, as my dad was working late. I was sleeping and heard somebody come in my room. I saw the glitter of a knife and screamed…" she said as she quietly sobbed onto his shoulder.

"Mother came in and went in front of him as he tried to stab me… he killed her right in front of my eyes. He was about to kill me too, but my father finally came home and knocked him unconscious." She continued.

"I was sitting by my mom then as she gasped for breath… she told me not to cry, but be strong. Don't blame my father or myself, and take care of the family. She said she'll be going to a better place, where one day we'll meet again."

"I'm sorry for crying." Hinata said while wiping her eyes. But, to Sasuke she looked beautiful as tears flowed through her eyes.

It was then that he realised that she wasn't perfect, she had an unkind past. That is what made him even more attracted to her. What he needed to do now was tell her. It had been going around the school that she had a secret admirer.

"Hinata…I" he started. But he realised that she was fast asleep on his shoulder. She shifted a bit and he saw a note fall out of her jacket's sleeve.

To Be Continued…

Author's note:

Thanks to all who reviewed and to all that read it! You make me happy

Anyhow, when people like someone, they tend to know a lot about them. Take my friend for example; she even knew the guy's shoe size! How she found out, I don't even know!

But, I'm sorry for a cliffhanger! I hate those, but I'm tired. Also I'm sorry about my short chapters. I like typing in one sitting. I think they might be getting longer... but I'm too tired to know.

Ciau,
