Hinata woke to an immense pain, hot searing pain burning her sides; it hurt more than the time when Neji had damaged her heart with a Jyuuken strike. It took more effort than needed just to open her own eyes and her throat was completely parched, she struggled to get up to soothe the accursed thirst that made it seem as if she was breathing in fire. As she got up she noticed that her sides burned but that there was a constant feel of pins and needles all over her body, were there were a bundle of nerves converged together it was more like something was trying to stab her there and that was not a pleasant feeling. With shaking hands she gripped the glass pitcher full of water by the side of the bed, however, the water sloshed around so much she set it back down and took deep breathes to calm her frayed nerves. When her trembling subsided she immediately grabbed the cup and poured generous amounts of water until she finished the whole thing in the matter of seconds. Sighing in relief she let a small smile adorn her features at the fact that she was awake before Sasuke. This night's nightmare was worse than the others, the ones that played with her memories usually were. Shaking her head to clear herself of her thoughts, she pushed herself off the bed but as soon as she put her weight on her legs she collapsed onto the floor; looking down, she paled.
'I-I didn't go to sleep like this! …Wait; w-when did I fall asleep?' Her thoughts became more frantic as she noticed that this wasn't her room and as she tried to remember when she fell asleep but couldn't recall anything just the horrid, horrid… night… mare. Her breathing hitched as she realized that maybe it wasn't a nightmare, maybe it was a memory; she groaned in realization: it had happened, again. The last time this had happened, she had almost turned her sister's brain to mush; when her nightmares blended in with her consciousness. It usually happened after she had foregone days of sleeping, due to said nightmares, then as she was doing something her surrounding would change slightly; it was the only indication that she was in a nightmare, she was basically almost sleepwalking except she had been conscious before. Her father had said it was something akin to genjutsu but not exactly as there was no chakra or magic involved.
As she discovered what had gone on her mind recalled the 'nightmare' from before.
She stood at the entrance to her room, leaning heavily against it as her tired body begged for sleep that she couldn't give. Sasuke was looking at her from inside her room, hand motioned towards her drawings. Suddenly a ringing reverberated through her head and she squeezed her eyes shut in pain only to widen in shock once they opened; where Sasuke once stood, a Kumo warrior had now taken his place. Suddenly he was in front of her, reaching for her; no!
'Not again, never again,' were her thoughts before she activated her clan's coveted kekkei genkai and attacking her attacker.
A fight, fire, pieces of rubble falling all around her, and a wave of lightning reaching towards her. Darkness.
An oppressing substance was all around her, covering her in its vile touch; it needed to go, right now! And it did, a cleansing power over took her body and wiped it all away until all that was left was a small bit right above her stomach before that too was cleansed away.
Suddenly the door opened and a figure rushed to her collapsed form. Before she could think about it, she delivered a punch towards the figure, only for her hand to get caught by a comforting familiar clawed hand. Blinking in surprise she looked up to gaze into apple red eyes with 3 black swirling tomoe.
"S-Sasuke-sama, I-I ohm… I'm sorry!" Though she was already kneeling on the floor she managed to bow slightly to him as she blushed furiously due to her actions. However due to her looking down she realizes what she was wearing; a large chemise, a chemise that looked a lot like Sasuke's, and it was made of a sheer material and that was all that she was wearing. A half choked sort of sound escaped past her lips before she promptly fainted from the rush of blood to her head. Sasuke watched as she collapsed on the floor, a slight snort and a twitch of the lips the only indication of amusement to her reaction. He avoided his eyes from the more… prominent parts of her body visible and lifted her from the floor to settle her on the bed;
"Why is it, that I always seem to be carrying you," he whispered into her ear before stepping away from her and sending a slight jolt of static through her body to awaken her, thanks to his chakra.
Waking up with a gasp, Hinata threw a small glare at her master's stoic face; her nerves ending still hurt from the fight and it definitely did not help to have more electricity go through her body. Then she realized her legs were visible to his sight, the chemise barely covered her hips and other… parts. Again a furious blush overcame her features as she snatched the sheets underneath her and covered herself, she vaguely resembled a tomato. Sasuke liked tomatoes, a lot, snapping himself from his thoughts he was slightly proud that his gaze had never drifted from her face once; even when he had changed her. His hand tingled slightly from the remembrance such soft skin but he pushed it away. For a moment they just stared at each other, completely silent and hardly moving.
"W-what happened?" A snort from Sasuke was his initial response.
"You're strikes are too weak, you only broke one rib."
She cringed at his harsh bland tone, "I'm so- w-what!"
She had felt bad at first when he had chastised her but then she realized what exactly he had said and was shocked. Wasn't he angry that she had attacked him? Sasuke merely rolled his eyes at her and almost let a smirk through, key word almost.
"You obviously aren't well suited for the Jyuuken, it's too straight forward; here…" He threw her a scroll which she deftly caught, however, to do that she stretched upward and the sheets covering her fell down to her waist to reveal breasts molded against the sheer material of the chemise. He immediately looked away but the lust he felt since he first saw her didn't go away, it seems it never would.
"Practice that," he said, voice slightly strained and hoarse but he managed, "and come to me when you think you're ready so we can spar." Straightening from his leaning position by the wall he walked out the room as his head filled with inappropriate thoughts of her arching underneath him as she lay sprawled on top of his sheets. Yeah, he couldn't get out of there fast enough.
Hinata watched him leave in mild confusion, was he in a rush to meet someone or was he concocting something that he left on the fire?
"Spar," she whispered underneath her breath as she looked at the scroll with even more confusion. So he wasn't angry, he even wanted her to improve… why? Shrugging it off for the moment, she broke the seal on the scroll and unraveled. Her eyes widened in astonishment at the images displayed; people in fighting stances, it was a water style taijutsu scroll, her elemental affinity. How did he know? Was he really able to tell that much just from one battle? She let a small smile escape as she looked at the door he had gone though."You really aren't as bad as you think."
Omake: 1st Snowfall (Imagine this chibified because I did)
Sasuke sighed in exasperation as it took a while for the fire to light up. It was freezing cold and getting even colder as the days slowly progressed towards winter. He wouldn't be surprised if one of these days he awoke to snow in the fireplace and flooding his veranda. He really needed to insulate the damn castle if it got like this every winter. Sighing once more he sat down and drank his tea as he awaited the results of his new potion; it would make people forgot their past life and change their personalities to the opposite of what they had been. HIs musing were interrupted when he heard a crash from somewhere in the castle. Most likely Hinata, he mused before getting up to investigate what happened this time.
Hinata was not having a good day; it was cold, very, very cold and she was sneezing way too much. As was proven when she was dusting armor that lay scattered around the castle and had promptly sneezed like crazy... which made her loose her balance, which in turn made her grab the armor for balance, which in turn made it fall, loudly, as it took her with it.
"What did you do?" Her head snapped back to see Sasuke leaning against the corner a twisting hallway. She was going to answer but instead a sneeze took hold, well more like 9.
"I-I was d-dusting and I s-sneezed only t-to lose my balance… the armor was in the way… so I grabbed it a-and it f-fell." Silence.
Shaking his head in exasperation he snapped his fingers and the armor got up on its own and marched to its position where it straightened itself and stood back. Hinata gaped at the display of magic, she was never going to get used to it no matter how long she stayed there.
"Are you done with the cleaning?"
"Y-yes."
"Come on."
Tilting her head in confusion she got up and dusted herself before following him. They walked in silence to a pair of doors that led outside. Opening them they walked out into the bitter cold of the barren landscape. Fall had gone and all the trees were bare as well as the ground since the grass had died. The sky was filled with ominous dark clouds that blocked the sun and only let grey light filter though, However, Hinata didn't mind any of this, she had been born in winter and though she was named for a sunny place she loved the white of winter, well not right now but she could appreciate the little things like the squirrels that scurried around as they dug for the food that they had hid during the winter.
"Look." She directed her attention to her master who stood at the edges of the woods, hand motioned towards the roots of a huge pine tree. She glanced inside and promptly squealed in delight; huddled there were two brown bunnies sleeping."I found them two days ago, but them in a cage, feed them then when their big enough… I want rabbit stew."
Hinata, who had been petting one, immediately threw a horrified glance at him. He merely raised a brow as if asking 'What, you got a problem with that? Deal with it.'
"B-but… look at them," she lifted one up with two hands until it was just right underneath her chin. Sasuke stared into big lavender eyes that glistened with soon to be tears, and as if that wasn't enough, the small brown bunny also had big dark eyes that shone as it wiggled its nose. It… was too much. He directed his gaze away from them to look towards the dark woods.
"I don't care, they'll die anyway. Their mother isn't there and their too small to survive on their own. Better to make use of them."
"S-Sasuke-sama… please let me keep them as pets!" His head snapped towards her, those pearlescent orbs looked back at him steadily. They stared at each other for a while before something cold and wet landed on his cheek. They both looked up simultaneously too see thousands upon thousands of white flecks drifting down from the sky like heaven was cleansing the earth. He looked back at her and watched as she smiled at the sky and lifted a hand to catch the flakes of snow in her hands before they melted against her warm hands. They settled like stars on her hair and some even went on her eyelashes before they melted to just leave drops of dew on her that shone like crystals.
"Do what you want." He said and turned away. Suddenly he was tackled from behind.
"Thank you, Sasuke." He barely breathed as he felt small thin arms wrap around his waist and an equally small body pressed against his back. The small bit of warmth coming from her made him shiver a bit but he didn't pull away pleased that she, for once, hadn't addressed him with the usual honorific. That was when he realized she was shivering furiously. Turning to her he noticed she had no coat and at this time the snow was coming down hard, her hair was already damp. Tugging her hands from his waist, he removed his cloak and wrapped it around her. Blinking in surprise, Hinata looked at him, eyes wide in confusions and head tilted.
"It's cold, let's go inside." He turned away from her and marched towards the house. Hinata stood still for a moment before breaking out into a smile. Bending down she picked up the two bunnies and held clutched them to her. She truly loved when the white snow fell in winter.
AN: I just felt like I needed to add this for no apparent reason... or maybe there is. I hate Sasuke, with a cold burning passion -_- like no joke I hate his guts he needs to die in the manga. I like him in fanfiction but in canon oh man you can count on me just PRAYING for him to die already. Sasuke is the epitome of a bastard or, in the words of one of my most favorite authors, a douchbag. I LOVE Itachi and after that last chapter, 590, there is no convincing me that he isn't an utter badass and whoever disagrees with me will DIE. I had the biggest fangirl moment after that and if fucking Sasuke doesn't change after that... hate won't even begin to cover what I feel for him.
Now that my rant is done I have no idea WHY I like the pairing SasuHina so much. ItaHina is my OTP hands down but idk SasuHina is more... ugh I have no idea; maybe it's the whole redeeming the damned thing, or the whole forbidden-love/not-meant-to-be thing, or it could be that their children would look so adorable (seriously have you SEEN the fanart, I always die whenever I see it; cute is an understatement) but I just, it's more easier to write than ItaHina. :le sigh: Sorry for the late update but yeah this is how things are gonna be for a while so my bad.
P.S I am free from hel- I mean high school! Yeah! Review my peeps! XD
