Hope you will love it!

Chapter 8

Ino scowled at Temari, thinking about all ways with which she can get her out of this flat. She didn't like to see this blonde girl here and she didn't want to see her here. Most horrible thing was that she couldn't do anything about it. Yamanaka could only sigh and roll her eyes and again, think of any ways of getting her out that won't work out because unfortunately, this blonde is more than just important in this case.

''A little bit slower, what you said after saying time?'' Hinata asked, looking up from her laptop.

Temari stopped talking and raised her eyebrow, looking at young brunette like she was nothing. And she was nothing to Temari, who was absolutely irritated with being interrupted.

''Shouldn't you have picked someone who's capable of simply typing out all what I'm saying?'' Sabaku asked, turning to Sasuke.

Hinata blushed furiously, hearing this and Ino had to actually grab table with her hands, so she won't punch Sabaku in her face.

''Who I pick is none of your business'', Uchiha replied calmly and looked up, switching his gaze to Hinata. ''She said that she called Gaara in the time that you wrote.''

Hinata nodded and let small smile curve her lips. She was somehow happy that Sasuke kind of shut up Temari. It was hard to keep on the same track and to type everything what she saying on the laptop.

''We found that car in the forest with no fingerprints, nothing. We can't find the driver and we are not even sure if this person was just a driver or the boss'', Temari said and sighed, leaning on the sofa.

She was wearing short black dress and when she put one leg on another, everyone could see her thighs and Ino was more annoyed with that than with anything else. Blue eyed girl walked out from the kitchen and sit near Shikamaru. Nara didn't react on this at all: he was looking through documents, but Temari noticed that.

''That's all'', she said, turning to Sasuke. ''How could you even think that I will be able to kill my own brother?''

''But who killed those two women?'' Hinata asked, looking up.

''Exactly'', Uchiha let out and stand up. ''We need to call to Tsunade and tell her everything. Those two women were not anyhow related to this case, maybe she will give this to another detective.''

He went out to call head of the police station to another room and when he did so, tension in the room could be cut with a knife. Temari was burning holes in Shikamaru, who finally looked up from documents and now was sitting next to Hinata, reading what she typed few minutes ago. Ino was examining Temari, comparing herself to the woman in front of her and realizing that she is better; much better.

''I still didn't hear what I intend to hear'', Temari let out, looking at Shikamaru.

Hinata swallowed and moved to the side, allowing Nara to look at Temari fully. Detective knew that this part of the case was coming but secretly hoped that she will get over it. And yes, he was that naïve to hope so. Shikamaru sighed and looked at Temari with raised eyebrow.

''I'm going to repeat only once'', he said seriously and then cleared his throat. ''I'm sorry.''

Temari slowly stand up and crossed her arms over her chest, staring at the detective. Smirk was placed on her lips and she chuckled.

''I don't think I heard you well'', she said in a sweet tone.

Nara pursed his lips into thin line, looking at the woman in front of him and barely containing his anger. He was shaking a bit, because he wanted to scream and throw Sabaku out of here, but he couldn't do either of those options and he was angry because of that. Temari, seeing his condition, smiled wider.

''I didn't hear you'', she repeated, taking step closer.

''I heard.''

Hinata smiled, staring at her friend. Ino was sitting on the sofa, gripping glass with water in her hand and staring at Temari with fake smile playing on her lips. Sasuke, who was watching them all for already few minutes, smiled too. Sabaku arched her perfect eyebrow and titled her head to Ino.

''Excuse you?'' She asked, looking blonde girl all over.

''You probably have some problems with ears, because I heard pretty clear how he apologized'', Ino said, looking at her with growing annoyance. ''Shikamaru said that he will apologize only once and he did so. Your problem if you didn't hear it.''

Uchiha chuckled and came closer, looking at Temari, who was about to exhale with fire. Sabaku took a step closer and then cringed, when her wrist got caught in a firm grip. Turning her head, she stared at Nara, who didn't let her move for an inch. She was about to slap Ino, punch her and cause whatever harm she only could to that arrogant blue eyed assistant and Nara knew that.

''Don't you dare'', he let out in a dangerous whisper that made Temari swallow.

Letting go of her wrist, Nara turned to Ino, who was looking at him with wide eyes. The fact that she was not afraid to say something back to one of the leaders of the huge company just because of him warmed his heart. He smiled with his natural smile that even Sasuke sees rarely. Ino smiled back, blushing a bit and then turning away, so no one can see how red her cheeks are getting.

''Case about two women is given to another detective, Kiba'', Sasuke said, breaking the silence. ''Hinata, save everything what you typed and quickly send it to the main office, Tsunade needs to look at it. And you'', he turned to Temari. ''If you have nothing else to say, then I'm sure you remember where door is.''

''How can you…'', she started, but Sasuke interrupted her:

''I can, believe me. Now get out and tell to Gaara that you will come to him tomorrow and if for this time he won't say the truth, then he will be get notice of appointment for lying to the case. Sabaku no Temari, I am capable of throwing you out, but I don't really want to do this.''

Gripping her bag, she stormed out of the flat, slapping door so loudly that bottle of water on the table fell on the floor. Ino smirked but Hinata shook her head. ''Too harsh'', she mouthed to her boss, who only shrugged. Sasuke came closer to Shikamaru and girls smiled, when those two hugged. Sasuke let himself relax and smiled, tapping Nara's shoulder.

''That was too harsh, but I liked it'', Shikamaru replied and sit on the carpet. ''She has too much pride to tell this everything to Gaara, so most likely we will not have problems tomorrow.''

Sasuke sit on the sofa, next to Hinata and looked at the screen. Hyuuga ad just sent the message and close site, so now he could see wallpaper of the laptop, which was picture of her and little girl. Hinata was dressed in strapless white dress, while little girl was wearing school uniform. Noticing his attention, Hinata blushed a bit.

''It's Hanabi, she's my little sister'', she said quietly. ''She's still in the school.''

''She's nice'', Sasuke mumbled, mostly because he had no idea what to say else, he never was good when talk started to revolve around family. ''She looks like you. Eyes.''

Hinata nodded and looked at him, blushing a bit. She felt herself a bit not comfortable when he was sitting right near her and Nara and Ino were here.

''We need to check up on Gaara'', Ino said, breaking silence.

''He will call to any of us in one, two…'' Shikamaru started and then phone ring. ''Three. Nicely done.''

Sasuke picked up his phone, smiling to Shikamaru.

''Hello to you too, Gaara. Yes. Yes. On our way.''

Sasuke put phone in the pocket and stand up, motioning to Hinata to do the same. Hyuuga quickly took her laptop and put it in her big bag, getting what he means. Ino raised her eyebrow and stand up too.

''We're going to Gaara, are you coming?'' Sasuke asked, going to the room. ''I need to change.''

Shikamaru looked at Ino and blonde girl only shook her head, meaning that she won't go. Ino looked like she was really tired, but that's not how girl felt herself. Yamanaka felt morally exhausted. She needed to lay down and just not think about anything, to just relax and this was her plan of what she's going to do in next hours. Shikamaru watched as Hinata quickly fixed her outfit and then Sasuke came out from the room, wearing jeans and white shirt with sleeves rolled up to elbows. Nara nodded to his partner and Sasuke smiled, switching his gaze to Hinata.

''Where is laptop?'' He asked, looking around.

''In the bag'', Hyuuga answered, brushing her hair. ''What are you doing?''

Sasuke took bag in his hand and put out laptop from there, putting it in his bag. Instead of laptop, he put all documents in Hinata's bag and walked to the exit without saying anything. Hyuuga, quickly putting shoes on, waved to Ino and went out, closing door quietly after her. Shikamaru turned around and saw how Ino sighed, going to room. His eyes narrowed and as she didn't bother to close the door, he could see how she lay on the bed and rolled to another side, facing him. Her blue eyes were watching him, but without any emotion, just watching and Nara wasn't sure if he's okay with that.

''You need medicine?" He asked quietly, coming closer. ''I noticed that you really didn't eat much.''

''I'm alright'', she replied in a quiet tone. ''And I ate just okay for my stomach to be full.''

Shikamaru leaned on the door to the room than now became hers. His eyes were trained on her fragile figure and he couldn't help but wanting badly to lay down with her.

''I have to sort out some documents'', he mumbled, not being sure why the hell he said that to her.

''I know'', Ino replied. ''Go and work.''

Detective turned around and went to the living room, starting to work. Now because of what they saw and what Temari said, he had to simply took all documents that now wre not needed. Nara liked paper work. This is something in which he was good at, and even if he found it boring, but he liked to close himself in the room and start working on documents. This helped him to take away his mind from anything else and he could concentrate on the case. And likely, not to think of the girl that somehow became everything what he could think about. Soon, work started and he was no longer thinking about anything. Automatically looking through papers and finding needed ones, he didn't notice that Ino was not sleeping. Yamanaka was watching him with fascination. He was genius, but somehow she didn't feel dumb when she saw with him, he never really put his ego in that way that she'd feel stupid. Watching him working was interesting for her, because she could pay more attention on his face, on his everything. He looked so busy and she liked it when he furrowed his eyebrow, when he rolled his eyes or when he threw paper away. She watched him for a long time, but he noticed this only one he was finished with all the paper work. Stretching out, Nara met her gaze and freeze.

''Are you finished?'' Ino asked, looking at him.

Shikamaru nodded and stand up. He was sure that she wanted to ask him to do something, but when she raised her hand, he got confused. Not being sure of what to do, detective walked closer, taking her hand in his. It was soft and fit into his hand so perfectly that he couldn't help but smile.

''Lay down with me'', she whispered.

She wanted this. She wanted to feel his strong body against hers, feel his breath on her neck and to be wrapped in his arms. Not giving this thought any second of thinking, Shikamaru lay down right next to her. Ino quickly turned around and cuddled to his left side. Nara smiled, wrapping his arm around her waist and putting another one under his head. Her hands rested on his chest and her head on his shoulder and they just lay like that in silence. But if those two were enjoying each other's company and silence that wrapped around them, then Hinata and Sasuke were in the middle of explosion.

''Damn it'', Sasuke muttered, pressing button in the elevator and rolling his eyes, when doors didn't close. ''Ah, finally.''

Doors closed and he pressed on the needed floor, turning to Hinata. They both were about to face Gaara and Sasuke had really no idea how to act with him, but he thought that he'd figure everything out. Hinata was leaning on the wall, gripping her bag and actually not feeling well. She looked around pretty small cabin of elevator. Everything was made of glass and the fact that she could see her reflection whenever she turned didn't make her happy. She wanted to ask her boss should she talk with Gaara or wait him outside, when she heard scratch and then elevator stopped. Sasuke raised his head and his eyebrows furrowed, when he understand that they are not in the needed floor. Not wasting any second, he pressed on the ''call'' button and waited for someone to speak up.

''We are stuck'', he said, when voice spoke up. ''Do something, now.''

''Excuse us sir, but as much as we want to do something, electricity will soon be turned off in the whole city. We will send help, but not sure when it will come.''

Hinata's eyes widened and her bag fell on the floor. She hated little places. She hated closed places. She hated to know that there is no exist or window. She was claustrophobic. And Sasuke understand that by only quick glance at her.

''Fix it now'', he growled, wanting badly to crush someone.

''We will try to, sir. On what floor you are?''

Sasuke looked up and wanted to answer, when out of nothing darkness swallowed him. Guy turned around, letting his eyes adjust to the place without light. So electricity went off. Detective reached out and found little hand of his assistant. She was shaking, trembling, shivering.

''Hinata'', he called, stepping closer. ''Hinata?''

The fact that was she not answering made him nervous. His hands now were on her waist and he pulled her on him, getting worried when she was shaking. Uchiha never was good at consoling, he never do that. Hugging her tight, he stroke her back with his hands, hoping that this will help her to calm down.

''Hinata, everything is okay'', he whispered in her ear, holding her close. ''Trust me, it's okay.''

Everything was for sure not okay, but he had to say something. Electricity went off and as cabin was made of glass, even in this darkness he could see himself in reflection and that was rather scary. Looking down at the girl in his arms, Sasuke sighed, when she wasn't shaking anymore. Hinata was scared. Pure fear was rushing through her veins, making her want to curl up in the ball and cry. She hated to be closed up. She hated darkness. Or better, she feared those two things. It felt like she couldn't breath normally, her lungs didn't work properly and if it weren't for Uchiha, she would fall on the floor, because her legs went weak. Her grip on his shoulders was tight and strong for someone as fragile as her. Hinata swallowed hard, looking up. Her eyes adjust to the darkness and she could see his face, but still not that good. It stunned her that even when everything went black, his eyes were shining bright. His quiet whisper that everything is okay made her calm down a bit and she was breathing normally right now, but fear was still there. She suddenly felt pressure on her shoulders and understand that Sasuke was pushing her down on the floor. Detective took his bag and put out laptop. Turning it on, he sighed in relief when light from the screen shined on the cabin. Hinata relaxed too, sitting next to him.

''No more darkness'', Uchiha said quietly and looked at her.

Hinata opened her eyes and stared at him. She smiled. Smiled with the sincere smile that curved her lips and made Sasuke lean in a bit. He never really saw women smiling at him. Smirk, wink, chuckle, flirt. That's to what he's used to, but not to that kind of smile. Hyuuga was like a breath of fresh air and he wanted to hold it on for as long as he only can.

''Thank-''

His lips covered hers and she melted. Just like that, with only his little kiss she melted and was ready to give up. Taking dominance in the kiss, he slowly pushed her right on the floor, crawling up on her. His tongue was exploring her mouth and that was sending pleasant sensations all over her body, something that she never felt before. Sasuke leaned back from her full lips, locking his eyes with hers. Somewhere in his mind the thought that they should not be doing this now and here crossed his mind, but it faded away when Hinata licked her lips and put her hands on his shoulder. Light of the screen was not so bright now, but Hinata still could see his gaze. Everything stopped, even her breathing. The way he looked at her, full of desire and lust. Hyuuga gulped, suddenly her throat went dry and she was not sure of what to do, but she didn't want to push him away. Sasuke controlled his weight on his hands, looking in her eyes and waiting for her decision.

''If you want to push me away'', he whispered, leaning in and biting her earlobe. ''You better do it now.''

Hinata's breath got caught in her lungs and she turned to him. Their noses were touching and hot breaths mixed. She could hear the sound of her heart pumping, could feel him so close that it was scary. Yet, she didn't push him away. Instead, not listening to her mind, Hinata leaned, touching his lips with hers. And that was the move that Uchiha waited. She gave him permission to go on and even if elevator wasn't a romantic place for the first time, he couldn't care less when she gave him green light. All her hesitation about her move faded away when he kissed her again. Kissed her with the kiss that made her toes curl and blood start running faster through veins. Kissed her with the lingering, soft, yet passionate kiss that made fire start burning in her soul. Sasuke leaned back and started nibbling on her neck, kissing her delicate skin there, leaving traces of kisses up and down, till his lips didn't cover every single inch of her skin. This is what he was about to do. To praise every single inch of her body, show her true love, make love to her, not just have sex. Maybe the place for the first time was not suitable, but he's going to make this time just like it should be. Her breathing became erratic as he put his hand on her left breast and squeezed it lightly.

''God'', she whispered, biting her lower lip.

''No, just me'', Sasuke replied and again kissed her.

When she leaned back, she realized that her shirt is unbuttoned and he was about to do the same with his, when she stopped him. Uchiha froze on his place, thinking that she wanted to stop but he was wrong. Hinata leaned in and started to take away shirt from him by herself. Her fingers were shaking a bit, when she was unbuttoning his shirt, but he waited patiently, staring at her face. Light from the screen disappeared and they again were in the dark, but he could see as clear as in the light. She was half-away done, when he caught her hands in his and raised them to his face. He knew she was scared. He could feel it, just like she could feel his manhood pressing on her hip. Sasuke kissed her hands, looking in her eyes. He's going to be careful. He's going to be attentive. This time is about her and he's going to make it right. Taking his shirt off, he closed his eyes, when she hesitantly touched his chest. Her fingers were tickling him a bit because of her light touches, but his eyes opened wide when he felt her lips on it. He looked down and what he saw made him roll his eyes of pleasure. Hinata was kissing his chest, slowly, carefully, like it was the most precious thing ever. No one ever did this with the same pace as Hinata; this girl was driving him crazy without even realizing this. His hand gripped her shoulder and she looked up, being afraid that she did something wrong. She was guided by her heart, emotions and feelings. He kissed her and put her down, quickly taking her skirt away. Sasuke leaned in, kissing her collarbone and slowly went down. Hinata thanked god that they were in the darkness so he won't see her blush. Her bra was unclasped and she arched her back, helping him to get it off it. Her nipples were embarrassingly hard and she let out long moan, when his tongue licked one and his thumb pressed on another. He was sucking, drawing circles with his tongue on her nipple, making her arch her back and whimper. She felt knot in her stomach, undeniable pressure on her legs and she wanted to squeeze them to somehow release it, but Sasuke didn't let her make it. He switched his attention to another nipple, massaging her breast with his hand, enjoying the way she whimpered under him. Hinata gripped her shoulder, forgetting about any shame and moaning loud every time when he caused pleasure run through her all body.

''Sasuke'', she called, when his hand travelled down and now as caressing her inner thigh.

His answer to her was his teeth biting her nipple, which made her cry out. Heat of her body, all her moans was driving him crazy. He was painfully hard and she didn't even do something. Wait, she did. Her body, her everything – was making him want her more, want to have her now. His hand stopped extremely close where she needed him the most. Hinata was embarrassed of how wet she was and that's why she turned her head to the side, not wanting to see his face. Sasuke get rid of his belt and pushed down his jeans, throwing them to the other side of the cabin. Suddenly after few cracks, lamp turned on and light shined on the cabin. Hinata shivered and automatically backed off, but Sasuke gripped his hips in his hands. Now, when the light was on, he could fully see her body.

''God damn'', he let out, his eyes taking in every inch of her figure.

Hinata covered her face with her hands, wanting to hide form his gaze, but he took her hands in his and made her look at her. His dark eyes were hypnotizing her and she swallowed, suddenly feeling so naked that it was inappropriate. But she saw pure fascination in his eyes. And then Sasuke said something that he had never said to anyone before:

''You're beautiful.''

Hinata's eyes widened when she understand that he's being completely serious right now. Her mouth parted and he used this to kiss her. Her doubts washed away and she kissed him back, sighing loudly when his finger pressed on her clit through panties. To his surprise, she raised her hips, bucking them to his finger. Sasuke couldn't help but smirk and pushed unneeded piece of fabric to her knees. She was exposed to him right now and to the hell with all the manners and his thoughts of doing it right because he never wanted someone like he wants her now. Hinata's scream got caught in her throat when his finger slide between her wet folds. This was completely new to her and she wanted more. Melting under his gaze, Hinata arched her back, bucking her hips to him; whimpering and causing sounds that she knows are completely embarrassing. One second – and she was pushed up by his hand that was now holding her back closely.

''It's okay to scream'', he whispered in her ear and pushed his finger inside her.

Hinata screamed more of surprise than of anything else. Closing her eyes, she put his head against his, their sweaty foreheads touching. He was pushing into her his finger in and out, getting her ready, enjoying with an ease of how his fingers gets in and out.

''To scream loud, on the top of your voice'', he muttered, biting her neck and pushing second finger in.

It was a bit painful and Hinata whimpered, shifting on her place. Sasuke get it and quickly cupped her breasts in his hands, paying attention on them. This helped to distract Hinata and he smiled, looking around. Everywhere, no matter where he looked, he could see reflection them and it was so arousing. He let go of her and put down the last thing that was on him. Finally releasing his hard member, Sasuke pressed gentle kiss on her lips and put her up. Hinata didn't even notice this, because his hand on her breast were working their magic and she suddenly felt something big pressing on her and before she could even open her eyes, he was in her, causing pain and discomfort. Putting her both hand son his shoulders and wanting to get away, she bite her lower lip, not wanting to cry out of pain.

''Hinata, look at me. Now.''

With force opening her eyes, brunette met his gaze. He was looking at her, trying not to show that he's barely holding on, because she's so tight, so fucking tight, that it's impossible to take it any longer. Hinata felt his hands on her hips, stroking them, caressing them lightly. And then those hands gripped her hips and pushed her up and then down again, making her shout and then shut her eyes.

''Open your eyes.''

It was a command. Strict command and Hinata did it, again meeting his gaze. He was trying not to make it painful for her, trying to control himself, but he was failing. Sasuke started to kiss her neck and collarbones, hoping that this will help and it did. Soon Hinata was softly moaning, when he bite her neck and then licked the same place. Sasuke smiled and slowly started to move. He could see pain in her face, but now it was mixed with pleasure. Pleasure that he was giving her with those thrusts, with kisses, with touches. She could feel him, feel with every cell in her body and she didn't want this to end. Sasuke pressed his thumb on her clit and she cried out, closing her eyes and falling back. His hands hold her and he was thrusting again, faster this time, driving himself to the top. She was tight, she was wet, she was welcoming and this was enough to make him reach the top, but he hold on. For her.

''Hinata, look at me, now. Now.''

Her eyelids flatter and she opened her eyes. Focusing her gaze n him, she barely kept them open, because waves of pleasure were overwhelming her. He pushed her up, crushing their lips together, squeezing her butt and kissing her so deep, she thought they would meld.

''I.. I…'', she mumbled, when heat was unbearable, when knot in the stomach was too tight to hold it. ''God.''

Her walls started to tighten around him and he closed his eyes, trying not to finish first.

''Hinata'', he muttered in her neck, biting her shoulder and making the last thrust into her.

Her vision blurred and she fall on Sasuke after shouting loudly. It really did feel like she reached the stars, not like Ino called it. Hyuuga was breathing heavily, feeling weak, strangely satisfied and tired. Sasuke slipped from her, not wanting to come into her. His growl made her look up and she sighed, resting her head on his shoulder. Uchiha wrapped his arm around her waist. Following sudden desire, he placed soft kiss on her forehead that made girl feel warmer inside. Looking around, he noticed that they started to go up.

''We need to change'', he said quietly and Hinata nodded.

She felt like her body was not under her control anymore and Sasuke helped her to get dressed, doing the same by himself. Cabin was hot, all walls were steamy, reminding that about what happened here few minutes ago. Hinata leaned on the wall, not being sure of what to do. Thankfull, she was the only one in confusion. Sasuke's strong arm wrapped around her waist and he pulled her on him.

''I can smell myself on you'', he whispered in her ear, making her blush.

Hinata looked up and couldn't help but smile, when he pecked her lips.

''And I like it'', he said and taking her hand in his, walked out with her of the elevator, not forgetting about bags.

She felt discomfort in her body when she started to walk and Sasuke noticed that. Taking her bag with documents from her, Uchiha motioned her on the wall.

''I'll talk with him on my own. Stay here and if you see Temari wondering around then…''

''Then I'll shut her up'', Hinata finished.

Sasuke smiled and leaned in, touching their noses.

''I actually wanted to tell that you should not say anything to her, but your options seems to look better'', he said and looked up. ''I will be quick.''

Hinata nodded and leaned on the wall, watching Sasuke going to Gaara's cabinet. Small smile was lingering on her lips and she sighed. Hyuuga always thought that her first time will happen with the guy, who she will love and he will love her and by her plan they should have at least said that to each other three times. But as always, everything turned out not like it was meant to be and when Sasuke turned around to her before entering the cabinet and smiled, she was sure that she has no regrets.

Ino looked up at Shikamaru, who was playing with her fingers, while they were laying on the bed. A little more than one hour passed, and they were still laying together, saying nothing to each other.

''Were you serious about work?'' She asked in a quiet tone, looking how he compares his fingers to hers. ''It means you will never have girlfriend, wife, family.''

Shikamaru sighed and looked down at her. He thought about this too. Thought about this so much that he actually gave on up on trying to find the answer, because he was sure that answer don't exist.

''I love my job'', he said after a while. ''But I don't want to take respon-''

''Yes, I know. Responsibility for someone else. But most of the girls like to responsible for themselves and when you say them that you're detective, they understand that this is dangerous.''

Shikamaru turned around fully and now Ino's head was on the pillow. He stared at her with curiosity, not letting go of her hand.

''Your point?'' He asked, looking in her eyes.

''My point is that every girl knows for what she's going when she agrees to become a girlfriend of a detective. You shouldn't be that afraid'', she spoke and then blushed a little under his gaze. ''Just thoughts out loud.''

He wasn't saying anything on this for far too long and Ino started to think that better not say anything else to him, but then Shikamaru let go of her hand. It felt not right, like her hand shouldn't be apart from his. Her blue eyes stared at his and he sighed, pulling her closer to him. God he wanted to tell her the truth. He wanted to open up to her, to let her in. But he couldn't do this.

''Danger is real'', he whispered. ''I lost someone once, because of my job and I promised that this will never happen again. If I have to have no family to keep my promise, then let it be so.''

Ino furrowed her eyebrows and then cuddled to him like a little kitten, who she was for him. He was hurt, something bad happened and she knew that deep inside he is hurt so much that maybe it is impossible to fix it. But she will try. Because looking at him, she's sure that it will be worth it.

A/N: Okay, guys, now I have few questions to all of you, so answer me in reviews? First, what do you think of SasuHina moment? (Be honest here!) Second, what is your opinion on Gaara?
