Chapter 8
The two girls woke up to a loud knocking at the door. They slowly got up and opened the door with wide eyes to find that Neji was in front of them. He already found out where Hinata was staying.
"N-Neji-Niisan!" Hinata said, surprised to see him.
"Hinata-sama, why do you insist on leaving the house and staying here?" Neji asked, grabbing her hand pulling her in his direction.
"No, you can't take her. I won't let you Neji!" Tenten said, grabbing Hinata's other arm, pulling in her direction which was quite unpleasant for Hinata.
"S-stop, please!" Hinata said in pain and the instant she said that, they both let go, making her wobble slightly.
"Come on Hinata, we need to go. Hiashi is displeased with your actions." Neji demanded.
"Yeah, like I'm going to just stand here and watch you take my friend and roommate. Even if she's your cousin, Neji, that doesn't mean you can order her around and call her weak!" Tenten argued, getting ready to fight her own teammate.
"Hmph, yeah right. Why would I bother fighting you, Tenten, when I know that I will win and you will lose. Hinata will come back," Neji argued back.
"P-please Neji, leave. I'm h-happy here and I don't c-care what you or my father s-say. I'm staying here. I'm tired of e-everything! I don't care what y-you or my father h-have planned to stop my a-action. I will show th-that I'm better and I will see Sasuke!" Hinata shouted, slamming the door in his face.
"Nice one Hinata! And thanks, I was about to really go all out on Neji," Tenten said, smiling.
"Y-yeah. Hey, I have to go do something for a-awhile. I m-might be late, I'm not s-sure," Hinata said, walking out the door.
"By this 'something', you mean Sasuke," Tenten said with a grin.
"Yes. I want to see him and tell him what just happened. I also need to tell him that I'm happy I'm here," Hinata smiled and ran off to Sasuke's house. She knocked on his door to find it open. She opened it to find Sasuke leaning on a nearby wall and ran to him.
"Sasuke!" Hinata said, helping him to his bed.
"I'm fine. I just need to lay down. I used too much chakra and went too far," Sasuke said, laying down, Hinata still holding his hand out of worry.
"Sasuke why d-do you go this far?" Hinata asked, he could see worry in her lavender eyes.
"I've always been like this, trying to get as strong as I can to surpass my brother. I'll be fine with some rest but why did you come here?" Sasuke explained.
"I wanted to tell you that I'm happy I talked to you, and decided to stay with Tenten. She's my best friend," Hinata said, starting to have a sad face.
"What's with this sad face? Hmph?" Sasuke asked with a smirk.
"It's j-just that I don't kn-know what to do. Neji came barging i-into Tenten's house, knowing where I-I was, and tried to drag me back h-home because of my f-father," Hinata said, tears about to fall from her face.
"What happened after that?" Sasuke asked, beginning to worry.
"Tenten was a-about to fight him un-until I told him that I will s-stay there no matter what and explained th-that I don't care what they d-do or say. I w-will not go back. I w-will show them that I a-am strong, that nothing w-will stop me," Hinata explained hesitantly, still crying from what had happened and suddenly caught Sasuke off guard by hugging him.
"Hmph. So, what are you going to do next? It's also getting late," Sasuke said, still having Hinata hugging him tightly, he didn't make her let go. They both sat on his bed, her hugging tightly, and Hinata began to calm down.
"I don't care. I don't want Tenten to see me like this," Hinata said, sobbing heavily into Sasuke's chest, realizing that she will never want to go home and how much she hated the way everyone treated her.

"Though you would rather me see you like this?" Sasuke said, finally relenting and returning her embrace. He sat holding her, letting her cry and ramble on as much as she wanted.
'She can stay just for tonight, it will be fine,' Sasuke thought.
Throughout the night, he heard her mutter different things such as 'why did it have to be me', 'why me? Why not Hanabi?' etc. He could tell she was hurting from everything that has happened with her family, but decided it was too late. He would be with her all night. If she needed him then he would be by her side.
A/N: it is done.
