She is all the things I hate in one.

Right down to the way she walks. The air of formality she gives. One look at her and you would know she is the heiress to a prestigious clan. Pampered all her life and not knowing what it is like to go hungry.

Her angelic looks. Her soft voice and hair. Not a single scar on her ivory skin. Innocent in every way.

Despite the hardships, she still remains undamaged.

Perhaps that is where my anger stems from?

How could someone who was verbally and physically abused most of her life still be that perfect? Still that innocent to the world?

It isn't fair...

That's why I wanted to kill her. I wanted her to hate me. Curse my name in the next world and haunt me. I wanted her to feel some sort of anger. Some sort of evil.

I did worse than kill her. I locked her up in a wooden cage and took away her chakra, her worth. I made her a prisoner.

I wanted to taint her. I wanted her to become a monster. I wanted her to become like me.

Maybe she is already tainted?

Maybe she is just like all the other Hyuga's is hiding her true self behind stark white eyes.

Fooling me into believing she is someone better than who she is.

Maybe I can't taint her because she is already the blackest black. But hides underneath soft whispers and angelic smiles.

Today was not a good day. Three days ago I left for a job that was not supposed to take more than 5 hours tops. Turns out the person I was chasing was tipped off and ran.

I chased him through the whole country. I finally found him hiding in some poor farmers home. Long story short I ended up hitting a kid before I got the guy. A normal ninja would collapse from my Chidori. But for a 10-year-old farm boy, it killed him instantly.

The sound of his mother's cries keeps playing in my head. It isn't the first time I heard a mother cry out like that just like it isn't the first time I killed a child. But this is the first time it felt so real. This is the first time I felt guilty about killing someone.

I froze as I saw her run to him. His eyes lifeless. Dead on impact. My left hand and arm covered in his blood. Everything felt so real. In his mother's face I saw Hinata and in her arms, I saw Itachi. I saw for the first time what I truly did to people when I killed their loved ones.

I quickly ran and got the guy. I felt satisfied when I chopped his head off in one strike. Hating him for pushing that boy in front of me. I walked out of the house with his head in my hand. Even when I was miles away I could still hear his family's sobs.

Their sorrow and grief. It all hit me like a ton of bricks.

I walk to the cabin with a heavy heart for the first time. I look down at my left hand. His dried blood coating my skin.

His mother's sobs ring loudly in my ears. And his lifeless body flashes through my mind. My heart begins to race as the dried blood begins to burn me. I begin to run as fast as I can to the cabin.

I run into the cabin and immediately go the bathroom. I rip off my clothes and get into the shower. I begin to scrub my body till its raw with freezing cold water.

But no matter how hard I scrub I still see the blood and no matter how cold the water is my hand is still burning. I hear banging on the door. But I ignore it. I continue to try and wash off the little boy's blood from my arm.

I sit down on the floor of the shower as I feel the cold water surround me. I grip my hair as memories of my family's massacre play in my head. My ears ringing with the mothers cries. Matching my own when I was a child.

After an hour I get out of the shower. I look down at my ripped clothes. I kick them out of the way and pick up a towel and wrap it around my waist and leave the bathroom.

I walk into the bedroom and go straight to the cabinet where I keep my clothes. From the corner of my eye, I see Hinata sitting down on the bed. She's bouncing Itachi up and down on her knee trying to get him to stop crying.

I pick up random clothes and shut the drawer, I turn to her. "Leave I'm getting dressed" I'm in no mood for her or Itachi's annoying crying. She narrows her eyes at me. "Where were you?"

"None of your business."

"You were gone for three days."

"Get out."

"No."

I glare at her but she doesn't back down. "Fine have it your way." I drop my towel and she immediately looks away. I smirk in victory and get dressed. As I tie my pants she walks up to me.

I glare at her.

"Where were you?"

I want to yell at her. I turn and begin to walk away from her. "I already told you-" I begin.

"Were you with another woman?"

That stops me in my tracks. I turn around. "What?" I hiss.

She shoots daggers at me. "Were you with another woman?"

Is she serious? Is she honestly asking me that? All the shit I went through today and she thinks I was busy chasing some cheap piece of ass.

"Answer me."

"Of course not!"

"Why did I find bright pink lipstick marks on your white collared shirt?"

That must have been the last woman I killed. I forget her name. Usually, it's easier just having them lower their guard by getting close to them before killing them. I never thought twice about it.

"Probably some woman I killed."

She narrows her eyes, "then where were you for these past three days? You said it would only take a couple of hours."

I feel like hitting her for being ignorant. "I was working! You know that thing I do to get money while you get to lounge around here all day!" I yell.

"Loung around?! I don't even have time to sit down with Itachi and having to clean up your messes of blood and dirt you always bring into the house!" she yells back while pointing to the red spots my boots dragged in.

I sigh in frustration, Itachi's cries only get louder with our yelling. "Hinata I am in no mood to deal with your shit today"

"You never are Sasuke... Name one time in these past weeks that you have even been in the same room as me and Itachi for longer than an hour..."

"I'm busy with work!"

"Your too busy killing people is not a good excuse!"

I turn around finally sick of her shit. I slip on my boots. "Where are you going now? You're going back to 'work'"

I don't answer her as I grab my katana and leave the cabin. Slamming the door shut.

I run into the woods and begin to train. Striking down all the trees near me. I continue like this for hours. Exhausting myself till I'm practically out of chakra. I collapsed on the floor and shut my eyes for a couple of seconds. But open them again as the images of earlier play. I look at the carnage around me as I try to catch my breath. After a couple of minutes, I stand up and begin to walk back to the cabin.

Although I hate to admit it. What Hinata said was right. I haven't been around at all these past couple of weeks. And after seeing what I did today I don't even want to leave their side for the next couple of days.

As I'm walking to the cabin I get a weird gut feeling. I begin to walk faster. I want to run but I wasted too much chakra while training that I can't. My heart drops as the cabin comes into my eyesight. What catches my attention is the fact the door is open. And on the porch is Hinata holding Itachi tightly while crying.

Suddenly the mother's cry's ring in my ears again. Despite my body protesting, I run to her. "Hinata whats wrong?" I ask out of breath. I move her hands out of the way and look at Itachi. I breathe a sigh of relief to see he is fine.

Although the moment is short lived when I notice the blood on her hands and clothes. I look past her into the house and notice a stream of blood coming out from the door.

Wordlessly I push the door fully open and walk in. A couple of feet in front of the door I see a dead man. "Hinata what happened?"

I turn to her. She's crying. "I-I don't know. I was with Itachi downstairs and I heard the d-door open. I thought it was you so I went upstairs but it w-wasn't you. I got s-scared and then h-he kept asking m-me questions. And he k-kept getting closer to me and tried to grab me and I p-panicked."

She begins to freak out. I reach out and hug her. "I d-didn't mean to hurt h-him... I just wanted h-him to l-leave and stop asking q-questions..." I look back to the man and see a discarded kunai near him. She must have taken one of mine at one point.

How did he even get in? My chakra. When I was training I drained too much of it and in result, the seal must have broken. I look down at Hinata. She is crying hysterically. Itachi looks at me and Hinata confused.

"I d-didn't mean to kill h-him..."

All these tears just because she killed one man?

"Hinata it was in self-defense" I try to comfort. I look back at the man specifically at his face. Why does he look so familiar? I move away from Hinta and walk towards the man. I crouch down and take a closer look at his face.

"Hinata? Do you know who this is?"

She quiets crying and walks towards me. She crouches down next to me. "H-He said that he w-was looking for his f-father. It must have been the old m-man's son-" she stops suddenly and her eyes widen in realization.

"Hinata you just killed one of the Raikage's counselors..."

She gasps. "Well, now we really do have to leave." I turn to her but her face is pure sadness and horror. But most of all I see guilt. She feels guilty for killing someone. This must be the first time she has ever killed anyone.

I guess Hinata really was innocent as she seems. She really was perfect. That's all over now... She's tainted...
