Chapter: IV

Isolations Ice

This Straight Thug

As she was about to stab her arm, her wrist is caught. She gasps opens her eyes and they widen at the sight of crimson red ones with spinning wheels

"What are you doing!? Let go"

Hinata stared up, shaking as her breath caught in her throat.

Sasuke had been going around without well, any purpose at all. It was even bad weather to be sleeping out tonight as he watched the clouds darken and gather around as they rumbled together and brought rain with them. He couldn't sleep in the cold harsh rain, so he had to find a place that he could. Then as he was looking around, that's when he saw the beautiful raven haired girl pondering over a Kunai and then directing it on her flesh.

Her pearl eyes, large and full of sadness.

He wasn't sure. Something in him made him go and stop her. He didn't even know her and here he was stopping her from ending her life. Holding her wrist right above of her head as she yelled to be let go. But he wouldn't, he only tightened his grip around her wrist.

This was just crazy.

Sasuke stared calmly at Hinata with his Sharigan activated. He didn't know it was, and he didn't know why he was even here. While Hinata was looking at him with disbelief and a sense of fear, but she was not sure if it was fear for the man or what she'd been thinking a while ago. Would she have really killed herself moments ago or where those thoughts just bouncing in her head?

"What do you want?"

Sasuke smirked, the girl was scared but she was standing up for herself. "Nothing" he responded and let her wrist fall. Suddenly everything seemed alright, it felt like everything was going to be okay. Hinata stared up at him, still feeling the imprint of his hand on her wrist. He was warm compared to the ice cold rain that was hitting her cold flesh. Sasuke stepped away just then and decided to leave her to her thoughts.

"Hey wait where are you going?" Hinata didn't know why but she wanted his company as she stood to follow him. She ... being isolation….it was so hard. It was raining and she was cold. And this straight thug had just stopped her from doing something so stupid.

Sasuke just shrugged. Hinata looked down at the ground and just followed the guy. He looked about her age or probably younger, she couldn't quiet tell it was too dark. His eyes had been crimsoned red at first, but as he said the nothing they stopped glowing and turned such a deep black.

Black

White

Such a worthless life to live, a life with such colors was not fun. Sasuke on the other hand was wondering why she was fallowing him. He had stopped her from killing herself, wasn't she mad? She had screamed at him to let her go and…… what he wanted at the moment was. He wasn't sure what he wanted anymore or what he was doing now.

But for now on he's taking life as it comes and living in the moment, so what if she was following him. What better way to end this life? Getting out of the safe bubble around you and trying to find a new approach to life. She might be fun.

"Why were you going to kill yourself?" he asked all of a sudden making Hinata jump a bit. She shrugged at the suddenness of his question. But loved the deepness in his voice…..she couldn't help the warmness that spread through her chest and limbs when he spoke and for some time in a long time made her blush a little.

"Tired...I guess...life's been a bitch" She looked at him again. "Why did you stop me?" She saw him shrug.

"Don't know kind of spur of the moment…. I guess" Hinata smiled.

"So…ano…umm… where you headed?"

"Right now I don't know. You"

"As far away as I can get from my family!" She pouted.

Sasuke shook his head. He had left to avenge his family and she to avoid her family. In all she was very interesting and was actually decent to talk with. No squeals, no big sick-sweet grins or smiles. No ogling! Besides that, she seem to have an understanding on how life didn't always give you what you wanted and what it did…..well, it was unexpected.

"Can....c-can I st-stick w-with y-you?" Meekly she said, pressing both her pointer fingers together and looking nervous.

Well that came as a double surprise to Sasuke and more like a BIG shock. He stopped walking all together and Hinata bumped into him, he guessed she might not be paying attention, first, she had stutter, and she doesn't even know him and is asking to stick.....well, she'll never know him unless they properly meet.

Now they were just two strangers.

He turned around to face her and her eyes widen as she decided to take back what she had just said "Sorry, I'll ...I mean" Sasuke put a finger at her lips and she looked up at him, he was soaked and his hair so messy. He was hot and unreal! But that didn't matter much now.

"Shh… no we can stick together. What's your name?" Hinata could have slapped herself, but she was paralyzed. No duh he stopped, she doesn't even know him nor does he know her. She sighed. The warm breath hitting Sasuke's finger sent shivers to his body wanting to fell more warmth from her.

"Hyuuga Hinata, you" she said as he quickly removed his finger when she had sighed. It was done hastily though.

"Uchiha Sasuke, nice too meet you Hinata" he said for once smiling. It was dark and he was sure that she didn't see it as lightning cracked the sky and illuminated everything for that split second. Wrong, she saw it and smiled back.

"You too, so were we headed?" Sasuke shrugged.

"I don't know. But I do know that I hate being all wet from head to toe in clothing" She nodded.

"Yeah"

"Come, I think there's a cave near by" she nodded again and then they ran to it. It was a cave and it was enough to fit three people. Sasuke went in first to check it out, you know other people or even huge insects could be there, and then she came in after him. It was safe. Sasuke built a small fire out of his Jutsu and Hinata was shivering like him. The sound of their teeth clattering was the only sound there.

"Don't you have some dry clothes to change into?" Sasuke asked her and Hinata sighed.

"I think so" she said and then removed her back pack from her back, small for all the essential things in life. She dug her hand in and all her clothes there were equally soaked. She turned to face Sasuke when she heard a zipper open.

Sasuke brought out a dry baggy shirt and some baggy sweat pants. "How come his clothes aren't wet?" Hinata seemed to whisper to herself without really thinking.

"Cause I learned that when traveling you have to have a plastic coating inside your pack" Hinata blinked.

"Did I really ask that out loud?"

"Loud and clear" he chuckled.

Hinata sighed and hanged her head "Answer to your question no! I have no dry clothing." Sasuke nodded and threw her a white pair of sweat pants from his pack and a white baggy shirt.

"Wear those" she nodded as he turned around and he opened the zipper of his jeans as he was to pull off his wet jeans she spun around to give him his privacy. Nort that he seemed to care, but she was feeling conscious now about herself, was she to get Naked to!? Her underwear and bra are also wet for god sake!

"Sasuke"

"Aa." Sasuke said as he slipped on some new pair of dry boxers and then the sweat pants.

"I don't have any other under wear" she said meekly.

"Then don't wear any" Hinata blushed and Sasuke turned to face her. Her back was facing him. He shook his head.

"I don't have panties and bras with me, I'm a guy. Besides the shirt and pants will cover you" he said indifferently as he pulled of his wet shit and slipped on his dry shirt and sat down comfortable and dry as he rolled his wet clothes together and set them aside.

"O-okay" she turned to look at him. "Umm, can you turn around?" she asked. Sasuke blinked at her direction and nodded.

"Sure" he turned. Though he will not lie, he did want to see Hinata naked, she was very beautiful and he had never seen a girl with nothing on. He heard the throwing and struggles of clothes taking off and then soft ruffles as the clean were put on. Everything was done hastily and he knew she was struggling; she must really be scared to be looked at.

"Okay I'm done" she said blushing as she covered her undergarments bellow her wet shirt and capris jeans. She set them aside and then came to sit next to Sasuke. Somehow being here with Sasuke and nothing under HIS clothing that he had lend her. Made her feel exposed, naked. vulnerable, exotic. … Well, things she had never felt before.

Sasuke only nodded and then brought out his blanket. "Were going to have to sleep next to each other to keep warm and share the blanket" she nodded. That wasn't so bad; she always was used to share her bed with Hanabi.

The fire was put out and the cave became ice cold in a matter of minutes as she suddenly remembered that it was raining outside. She went over to Sasuke who was setting up in the deep end corner. He lay down, the floor was cold. But it should soon become warm with her warmth mixed with his body heat. Hinata gulped as she came next to him and then he put the blanket over them.

"I can't believe this" she whispered.

"What?"

"Huh, well, this is my first time that I actually been stuck like this" Sasuke nodded.

"I'm used to it, so will you in time"

She nodded and scooted closer to Sasuke's body warmth. He pulled her and his arm went around her waist. Hinata blushed. The contact was magic. Thug boy was turning her on right now. She liked it. She liked being here with him.

She snuggled in to him and fell asleep comfortably in no time, as did Sasuke. The light rain out side made it seem so calm and nice. The cool breeze left outside and all the warmth was left for them.

For once the Isolations Ice felt like it was melting.

-The next day-

Morning came like no other, the light dripping of dew from plants and the fresh smell that the rain left. It was so serene. It was a nice morning. Sasuke wanted to stay there. He was on his back and there was something warm half on top of him that made him want to stay there.

Hinata rubbed her cheek to Sasuke's chest and then her eyes opened to the cave, she smiled. It had not been a dream or fantasy, it was all real. She lifted up and stretched out and turned to Sasuke when she heard him move. Uchiha Sasuke. Huh.

No she didn't know him nor did he know her in any way.

"Morning" she said with a smile Sasuke shrugged.

"Yeah, morning" he said as he started to head out the cave to look at the outside. "It's not raining anymore, we better pack and be on our way" Hinata shivered as the cold hit her as soon as he was away from her and out of her reach. She already missed his body next to her. No! That was impossible. They barely know one another.

Heck… 'Barely' doesn't even cover it.

Sasuke began to pick up his previous wet clothes and set wrap them in something else and then tuck it in hiss bag and then putting on his shoes. Hinata watched him with interest. Her whole life she's been living and playing it safe. To shy to do anything to risky like all her other friends that her parents called 'loose'

Unlike her friends she has been over protected since birth and the only male able to near her without her dad throwing a fit was her cousin Neji. That was boring. Looking back, she has done nothing in her life but try to improve like her dad wanted her to be stronger. Well, he's not here and that doesn't matter now.

What matters now is she living her life and no one else planning it for her. Hinata decided that it would be a fine idea to start with Sasuke. She picked up her own wet clothes and placed them inside with the other. It will take time till they are dry. Besides Sasuke's clothing is VERY comfortable. Though they fit her very loosely and she had to hold up the pants or they would fall to expose her vary Naked ass.

Much as she likes Sasuke's clothes. She's not sure what to think if the pants did fall and Sasuke saw her. The thought of him looking at her made her blush a bright red and make her feel a sense of excitement.

"Hey, stop spacing out. Are you alright?" Hinata jumped and then shook her head.

"No, no. I'm fine. Let's go" she said slipping on her shoes and running out towards him. He nodded and they went on to look for breakfast. Hinata was hanging a bit back as she thought to herself while looking at Sasuke's back. She couldn't help thinking about it more and more, she had never done anything like this.

What if there were no strings attached though.

What if there was nothing to worry about.

What if they could just share each other?

Was it so wrong….

'What would he say .....? if I were to ask....to be.......... his fuck-buddy?'
