HALO EVERYBODY! Sorry for such a late update. I started school again. I'm taking a Creative Writing class to help better hone my skills. No lie, I was starting to think that nobody liked this story anymore. I was going to delete it but I love writing it. So whether it's read or not, I will continue to update until the very end.

I do NOT own Naruto. Also, there will be a small little 3rd person POV. Nobody freak out.


Sasuke POV

The next few days were hard to manage. Hinata, plagued with nightmares, refused to be left alone for long periods of time. I had no objections, but her need to stay underneath me made it hard come feeding time.

I had anxiously – and greedily – accepted the fact she would never feed off of anyone else but me. However, I still needed to feed so I could have enough strength for the both of us. The first night was easy. She had just gone to sleep and luckily there was some pathetic university student wandering about the alleyways looking for his next fix. By the time I got home, Hinata was just waking up. She had another nightmare about Itachi and was relieved that she was able to wake herself up this time.

A couple of days went by and things seemed to be going back to some semblance of "normal." That is until….

*knock, knock, knock*

I looked over at the cable box to see what time it was. 6:38pm. Who in the hell could that be?

*KNOCK, KNOCK, KNOCK*

"I'm coming! I'm coming! Dammit!" I pushed myself up off the couch and walked over to the door. I looked through the peephole to see who it was and what the sun was doing. The bad news? I couldn't see who had been knocking. The good news? The sun was almost done setting. Meaning I could easily kill whoever it was that had dared to intrude.

I wrenched the door open, looked left, then right, and then cursed under by breath when I saw long chocolate brown hair. The person turned around, having been captivated with the city and how it gleamed in the sunset.

"Uchiha." Came the strong stoic voice of –

"NEJI-NIISAN!" Hinata squealed from somewhere behind me. She ran up beside me. "Oh nii-san! It's so good to see you!" She threw her arms around Neji's neck and instantly his stoic expression melted into a more loving one. I growled low in protest as he wrapped his arms around Hinata's waist and softly laid his cheek on the top of her head.

I wanted nothing more than to snatch Hinata away and dig my teeth deep into his neck. No! Wait! Where did that come from?! I stepped aside as Hinata led Neji into the apartment. I stood there looking at the duo. It wasn't until I felt a sharp burn on my left shoulder, as a stray ray of sunlight hit me, that I was brought out of my thoughts. I hissed and then quickly retreated inside. Damn sun. Even if I wasn't a vampire I would still hate it.

Hinata POV

I was so happy to see Neji-niisan at the door! Shocked. But still very happy. The last time I saw him was about 4-5 years ago when my father had disowned me. Neji was the only one, other than my little sister Hanabi, to try and convince my father to not do it. However, I didn't care what my father did. As far as I was concerned I had already cut whatever ties I had with that man long ago. Besides, I had Sasuke-kun by my side. As long as I had him I could do anything.

I led Neji-niisan over to the black couch that sat in our living room.

"Would you like me to make something to drink niisan?"

"No. No. I'm fine. Thanks."

I sat down, next to the second dearest man in my life, and smiled. "So what brings you here niisan? How's Hanabi?"

"Don't worry. She's alright. In 4 more years she'll be able to leave and do as she pleases"

"That's good. Now if only we could speed up time."

3rd Person POV

The pair laughed. "If only…." Neji then took the chance to examine his cousin. She looked paler from the last time he had seen her, but that was over 5 years ago. But he also notice how she seemed to be much prettier than he had remembered her to be. There was some…..otherworldly beauty about her. Like one of those Greek goddesses, or something.

Hinata POV

"…san? Neji-niisan?"

"Hm? Oh! Sorry Hina."

I giggled at my cousin's temporary moment of spacing out. Neji-niisan was NOT one to lose face around others, not even Hanabi and me. So it was kind of cute to see it happen.

"Hey….Hinata?"

"Yes, niisan?" There was an awkward pause before Neji-nii fixed me with a very serious face. "Y-Yes, niisan?"

"Hinata, you must be honest with me. Are you happy here?"

I stared owlishly at my cousin who was more like the brother I never had. The subject wasn't new. In fact, my cousin has brought the subject up so many times that it's actually a joke between Sasuke-kun and I (well me more than him). But this time was different. I could sense the sincerity, as well as the urgency in his voice. Sasuke-kun must have sensed it too because he came over and stood behind me.

"Are you still going on about that shit?! She's not going dammit!"

"I wasn't asking you, Uchiha."

"Anything regarding Hinata instantly becomes my business. Which means all of your questions should be directed to me, Hyuga." Was Sasuke-kun's curt reply.

"Very well." Neji turned a cold glare towards Sasuke-kun, "If Hinata is you 'business' as you put it, then where is the ring?"

The tension was running high and thick. Forget cutting it with a knife. It would take a chainsaw!

"Che. That's none of YOUR business. In the end, ring or not, she's staying."

"How about you let HER decide, hm? She's not a child anymore."

In a second, two pair of eyes were locked onto me. I blushed and hid behind my bangs. My face was getting hot.

"Well Hinata?" Neji-niisan probed. "What do YOU want?"

I opened and closed my mouth. My imitation of a fish out of water was perfect. Finally, on my fourth try, something came out.

"I-I-I-I…well….." everything went dark.

Sasuke POV

Fuck all of it! Everything! People, life, the hard shit in life! Just put all of it in one room and fuck it! That damned Hyuga bastard, Neji. Once again trying to take the only ray of light I have in this sick twisted world! How dare he?! The greedy bastard!

"This is all your fault, Uchiha."

"My fault?! You were the one pressuring her." I gingerly laid Hinata on her plush dark purple bed. The stress of it all, on top of her already unstable condition, was too much for her.

"That is not true. I merely wanted to know her opinion on the matter."

"Hn. Whatever. Just know, for the last damn time, that Hinata is NOT going anywhere." I was standing directly in front of him. Once punch. That was all it would take to knock him out. The bastard didn't even seem fazed.

"You can't have her to yourself forever." Neji turned to leave the room. I followed, both of us headed for the front door. Neji stepped over the threshold and before he got to the steps I spoke,

"You have no clue just how long forever is, Hyuga."

Neji paused, but never looked back. He descended the steps as I closed and locked the door.

"Even if she did want to leave. In the end, ring or not, she's mine for ever and ever."


And boom goes the dynamite! lol Isn't Sasuke crazy?! I love him so much. He's a fun one to write.
