Sasuke's reward

Chptr 7

Role

"At least try to look a little more happier." Orochimaru lifted her chin up so she could look into his eyes. "He will notice and will drown with guilt. I don't want that to happen...don't you remember our agreement?"

Hinata nodded a yes.

"Good. Now go look for Sasuke and try to at least act as if you were not sad and depress." He let go of her chin and nodded with his head for her to leave. She left and started looking for Sasuke in the training grounds.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

-Training ground-

Sasuke couldn't concentrate correctly, Hinata and last night were still in his mind.

"Agghh, DAMMIT!" Sasuke dropped to the floor. His body was hot and sweaty from training. His hands started clutching and unclutching the ground, making his fingers to start bleeding. He was so overwhealmed with guilt.

"Sasuke?" Her voice startled him.

Damn it all. She wasn't suppose to see him in this state of weakness. He told her she was his responsability now, and he was to be strong for two of them. He did her wrong and had asked forgiveness. She never said if she forgaved him or not, but he would prove to her that he was sorry; hopefully obtaining her forgiveness. He knew Hinata had developed feeling for Kabuto and it pained him. Kabuto had lured her into his trap and she fell for his falsehood. Fake, sweet words, false promises; that is how Kabuto got her to fall for him; not him though, Hinata would love him back by who he was. If she would love him, it would be because of who he was (Not out of pity or lies). He didn't want Hinata to see him in this condition, he didn't want her to feel pity for him. He wanted her love not her pity.

"A-are you alright?" She started walking toward him, and he could feel the worried, the pity in her voice and he didn't want it.

"You came." Sasuke leaned his body on his hands to push himself up, and winced at the pain the pressure caused; he was on his feet once more.

Hinata gasped when she noticed the blood in the ground. She ran up to his side and saw the blood in his hands. "You're hurt!"

"I'm fine." He tried hiding his hands from her view.

"No you are not. Let me have a look at your hands."

"Sigh, fine." He turned around and faced her. He let his hands drop by his side. Blood was dripping from the tips of his fingers onto the ground. She gently took one of his hands and examined it.

"You are missing two nails and two more seem to have detached from the skin...it looks painful." She thoughtfully said.

"It is." She looked at him when he said it; his face and eyes didn't show any signs of pain at all. She looked down at his hands once more.

Her hands were soft and warm. He liked the sensation he felt as her hands touche his. He knew she was just examining his hands, yet he couldn't help but see it as a caressing. He did his best not to blush.

"I'll try my bes to cure it..."

"Hn." 'Don't blush, don't blush, she is just checking your hands in order to cure you.'

"Sigh...the only person who would be able to cure this right away and do a great job would be Tsunade, Sakura or Kabuto."

Kabuto was all Sasuke needed to hear to become furious. He quickly snatched his hands away from Hinata's hold.

"Sasuke, wha is wro-"

"KABUTO, KABUTO, KABUTO! I am tire of hearing his name come out your lips." His sneering caused her to become nervouse. "It is my name that should be coming out of your lips because now I am your protector and your lover!" Sasuke was now having some problems breathing; his poor lungs had suffer the consequenses of his anger.

"I-I ...I am sorry...I..." She realized the mistake she had done. She soon found her hands, that were tainted with Sasuke's blood more interesting than his face, which now held anger. She started fidgeting with her fingers, not even noticing the wetness of the blood.

Sasuke noticed her actions and calmed down. He didn't want to be the cause that would send her in search of a protector, against him.

"Hinata please, I am now your protector and I ...you need to understand that. Stop looking in others what you have in me."

"..." Hinata started thinking about her converstation with Orochimaru.

He glumly looked at Hinata when she didn't say anything or even looked at him.

Hinata slowly lifted her head a bit and saw him through her bangs. "I am glad you have decided to take the role of my protector and..." Hinata didn't want to say the rest but knew she had to. She gaved a forced smile and continued. "my lover."

He eyed her for a while before she reached for his hands. "Now let me take my role and allow me to cure you."

AN: Sasuke-bastard is jealous...Wow! I love jealous Sasuke. Don't you? It proves that Sasuke is human and has emotions (I made a oneshot where Shikamaru, Chouji, Naruto and Sai make a horrible prank on Sasuke for being the bastard he is. They want to prove he has emotions like everyone else. Well...the prank was way out of hand and Sasuke was humiliated. You should check it out...it on Messed up love: chapter 19, Revenge: a cruel prank but be warned...its a really mean prank played on Sasuke. I think I might make a sequel...oneshot of this...Sasuke gets back at them. Oh, revenge is so sweet! Better than candy.).

REVIEW REVIEW REVIEW REVIEW...sigh, do I really need to say this? Please review.

Oh, by the way, I'l be updating on Forgiveness and What about me by the coming sunday.

Next chapter:

"Orochimaru, I want to talk to you." This was the first thing Sasuke said when he saw Orochimaru.

"No Hello of goodmorning? Tsk Tsk Tsk. Where have your manners disappear to?" Orochimar gaved him his famous digusting side to side deviant smile.

Sasuke just glared at him. "I don't have time to loose with your non-sense. I just want you to keep Kabuto away from Hinata." He narrowed his eyes to make sure Orochimaru knew he was serious. "I don't care what you do, but keep him away from her. If he dares go near her, I will not hesitate and kill him." Sasuke turned around and left Orochimaru standing with a smirk on his face.

Orochimaru looked at Sasuke's retreating form. 'My, my...it seems the plan is working better than I expected. Ku.'
