Lost Voices and Silent Cries
Chapter 10 – Comfort
.
"Are you going to invite me in?" He ran a hand through his hair. She stepped out the way and handed him the towel. He took it but stood on the mat. "I'm wet." He pointed out. She nodded sarcastically. He stared at her. "I left some clothes here. Give them to me." He rolled his eyes.
She stood there. This was her house. She didn't take commands. "Do you want me to say please?" She blinked and nodded. He scoffed. "As if."
She watched him take off his shirt and dry his torso. She blushed and turned away. "They weren't as…helpful when it came to my place." He grunted. "So I have to buy a dryer and washing machine…" He trailed off. She turned back to see him in only his boxers. He took off his shoes and walked into the back room. She gawked and went into the kitchen trying to breath.
She had seen her fair share of bare chested men. She lived with Neji and she was one a team with Kiba who refused to keep his shirt on. But Sasuke… brought on a new type of effect. She got out the cinnamon and started to-
BOOM!
She screamed and fell down. Sasuke walked out with a towel around his neck. "Hama?" She whimpered as he came around the island. "Are you afraid of thunder?" She had her face buried in her knees nodding. "How are you even a shinobi?" He muttered grabbing her arm.
"Thunder can't even hurt you. Lightning can kill you, but the chances are slim." He said in a matter-of-fact voice. He didn't think she knew that? She stood up and noticed all he had on was sweat pants. She sighed prying her eyes off of his chest. She grabbed the bag of flour. "And you're still trying to bake?" She ripped the flour open.
She looked up into his eyes. "Whatever, Hama." He smirked. She froze as lightning lit up the apartment again but this time taking the power with it. She was panicking now. "Use your Byakugan." She giggled nervously. Did he think the Byakugan could see in the dark?
BOOM! BOOM!
She covered her mouth trying to muffle her chattering teeth. She felt a body pressed against hers. "Just calm down." He breathed in her ears. She could felt his abs against her back. He grabbed her trembling hands. "You're going to faint, just chill." He muttered. She felt his hand rest on her stomach. "Just walk." He coached.
Did it really take him pressing himself to her in order to show her the way to her room? What if he tried doing something? She froze. "Ham-" She pushed him away or pushing herself into the wall of the hallway. "What the fuck?" She heard him growled. She trembled hearing his footsteps. She pushed out her hands stopping him from coming any closer. Her hands rested on his chest.
Sasuke growled but paused. She was terrified. That's what his mother used to do when he was scared of the storms… walked him to his room. He mentally groaned. She probably thought he was trying to take advantage of her. "Hama, calm down. I'm not going to hurt you." He grabbed her hands. She stiffened.
He activated his Sharingan. She squirmed even more. He grabbed her hands. "Do you think I'm going to hurt you?" Lightning flashed throughout the house. Hinata eyes were wide seeing his flawless face frowning at her. "Do you?" He growled putting a hand to either side of her head. She whimpered as he touched her neck. "I told you I wouldn't hurt you." He stepped back.
"Find your own way to your room then," He turned. She grabbed his hand. "What do you want?"
BOOM!
She threw herself into his chest. He sighed. "I'll take you to your room." She nodded and followed him to her room. He watched her crawled into bed. He sat on the end. "You are still so innocent."
She looked up at him with a pout. He chuckled and formed the Chidori in his hand. "This is my element. I was forced to like it." She watched the lightning ball flicker and whisked around his palm. He watched her eyes widen. She was in pure amazement.
"Do you want to touch it?"
She sat back shaking her head. He smirked. "It's not going to hurt you, trust me?" She watched him for a moment before crawling up to his hand. "From the bottom…" She stuck a finger under the ball of lightning. She could feel his chakra fueling it from is palm. The lightning kissed her finger sending some harmless shocks throughout her body.
"You feel those shocks?" She nodded. "I send that feeling throughout my opponent's about ten thousand fold, but that's at full power. When sparring only about hundred… still very effective." She saw him smirked at her hair. She touched it finding out it was sticking up at the top of her head. She giggled. He let it go out. She sighed looking out the window at the pounding rain.
She looked over at him. He laid out on her bed. She looked down at him. "Do you want me to leave?" She shook her head. He nodded and closed his eyes. She sighed and laid at the edge of the bed. She smiled listening to the rain. Maybe… she wasn't afraid anymore.
BOOM!
She rolled off the bed. She heard Sasuke chuckled and turned over. She pouted and got back in bed. It wouldn't be that easy.

Naruto popped out of his house. "It rained?" He asked no one in particular letting a rain drop off on his palm. "Weird?" Sakura was walking up to his stairs. "Oh, hey Sakura-chan?" She looked up at the blond.
"Naruto," She sighed covering her face. "Put on a shirt." He looked down and he was indeed shirtless. Sakura looked up after he went into the house. Naruto body went from being just skin and bones to this rock hard, very nicely built, very sun kissed and very dare she even think it…sexy and the seal around his navel just made him look even more exotic.
To make things simple Naruto looked amazing.
He ran back on with a mesh shirt and his jacket unzipped. "What's going on?"
Sakura nodded trying to pull her eyes off of his body to his sparkling azure eyes. "Oh, uh… apparently the Prince requested that you kept him company until it's time for him to leave. He says it would be an honor," She laughed.
He smiled. "Is that weird?" She could almost hear anger in his voice. Was he angry at her?
"N-No," She smiled. "He said he also wanted Sasuke"
Naruto grinned. "That Prince is weird, but the cool kind."
"He is quite the gentlemen," Sakura blushed. Naruto caught it but it wasn't jealous maybe annoyance. "I mean, he is just…like Prince charming like is all."
"Yeaaah," He shook his head. "Off to teme's house!" They walked through the streets of Konoha, which were very humid. Sakura wanted to ask him so bad what was bothering him. She turned to touch his arm but noticed they were in front of Sasuke's house. Naruto knocked and knocked…and knocked. He pulled out a blue spare key, Sasuke had willingly given him. He walked through and walked back out. "He isn't here…"
"That's weird. You think Hinata-chan may know?" Sakura asked.
"Probably," He pulled out a purple spare key.
"She gave you a spare key too?" Sakura muttered. He gave her a quick glance over and nodded before replacing his frown with a smile.
"Yup, just in case something happened!" He ran over and opened the door. "She might be still asleep…" They walked through and noticed a male pair of shoes at the door. The kitchen had cooking things everywhere and opened flour. They walked down the hallway and saw Sasuke's clothes sitting on the washing machine. "What the hell?" Naruto mouthed.
Hinata's door was opened. Naruto almost started yelling before Sakura covered his mouth. A shirtless Sasuke was laying in Hinata's bed…with Hinata laying on Sasuke! He was lying as if he was dead, while her head laid on his chest with her little arms wrapped around him.
The weirdest part of it all Sasuke was asleep! Naruto eyes were about to fall out of his head, he was sure of it! Hinata wiggled a bit before Sasuke groaned and rolled over on her. Hinata moaned and pushed him off. Her eyes opened and yawned. Naruto pulled Sakura out of the way. They heard Hinata giggled.
Sasuke yawned and rolled over. "You should check on your guest." She looked at him for a moment. "Naruto and Sakura are in the hallway, breathing rather loudly."
Naruto busted in. "You're damn right! What is going on here?!"
Hinata fell off the bed grumbling. Sakura ran in. "Oh Hinata-chan!"
She popped out looking crazy. Naruto was pacing. "You have your own bed, teme!" Sasuke stood walking to a suitcase that was in the corner pulling out a shirt.
"I don't have a washing machine or dryer, dobe."
Naruto threw his hands up in the arm. "What the fu-" Hinata raised her hand to him. "But Hinata-chaaaan!" She frowned shaking his head. "Fine, did he try anything on you because I'll kill him!" She grabbed his hands smiling in his face. "So…I don't get to kill him?" She giggled.
Sasuke grabbed her wrist. "Are you going to cook for me?" She shrugged. Naruto snatched her away. "What's your deal?" Sasuke glared at the blond.
Naruto returned the glare before smiling like a fool. "Prince Tamaki wants us to show him around and such. He likes us!"
Sasuke growled. "I don't give a fuck?"
Naruto sighed. "Not many people like you, Sasuke so I think being nice to a Prince could help people not want to kill you…as much, dude."
"I. Want. Food." Suddenly the room was filling with his chakra. Hinata touched his arm. "What?"
"We can just bring him here then! Hinata, do you mind?" She shook her head with a smile. Sasuke walked out the room.
.
.
.
"So, we are going to Hinata Hyuuga's apartment?" Tamaki held his umbrella up just in case it started to rain again.
"Yeah, she is cooking breakfast and Sasuke is all like 'ME WANT FOOD!' so I guess-"
"Wait… The ex-heiress is staying with the sole surviving Uchiha?"
Naruto rubbed his neck. "I don't think so. Hinata isn't like that…" Tamaki looked over. "Oh, one more thing, she is pretty much mute now so not look for a verbal reply." He said as the got to her house.
Tamaki nodded. "I understa-" Hinata opened the door with a smile. He bowed to her as she did to him. He stood. "Hyuuga-san!" He hugged her. She giggled and hugged him back. "I have missed you running around my father's palace."
She blushed and led him in the kitchen. Sasuke was tapping his foot. "We've been waiting."
Tamaki bowed. "My apologies, Uchiha-san." He smiled warmly.
Fuck it. Sasuke didn't like him.
Not because he got a weird vibe from him. He just didn't like him.
The prince looked over the dishes that were at out. "My, Hyuuga-san did you cook all of this?" She nodded. "It does look delicious. I am surprised that someone who came from such high class even knows what a pot looks like."
They watched Hinata but she wasn't offended at all. He took a seat. "Do you remember that one clan meeting at my home and you slipped your juice box all over your white dress?" She giggled and nodded. He laughed. "And I gave you my tuxedo! It was a grand time before we got in trouble with the maids."
Hinata nodded and served him and Naruto breakfast. Sasuke grabbed the spoon but was stopped by Hinata's hand. "Hama, if you hit me one more time over this food…" He growled. The other two boys noticed the red marks that littered the Uchiha's hand.
"Who is Hama?" Tamaki asked. Hinata sighed helplessly. "I suppose it's a nickname?"
"You could say that." Sasuke mumbled.
After everyone was served she sat. "This is great Hina-chan! I knew you could cook but WOW!" Naruto smiled. "It's almost better than ramen…almost." He chuckled.
"I must agree it is better than my chef." He smiled. She looked at Sasuke who reluctantly nodded. She smiled. "So, Hyuuga-san are you involved with Uchiha-san?" She looked up with a blush and shook her head. He nodded with his eyes closed and a smirk grew on his face. "Then you must become my wife!"
The table silence. He looked around. "It…was a joke…" He ran a hand through his hair.
Naruto laughed. "You scared me for a moment. I thought we had to kill you, right Sasuke?!"
Sasuke sat his cup down. "Exactly."
Tamaki blushed coughing. "You have very protective friends, m'lady." She sighed and nodded. He shrugged. "But I am not the sort of man to demand you marry me," He touched her hand. "I would want to take all of your rejection first. Swoon you until you couldn't stand to look at another flower, chocolate, love letter, teddy bear or anything!" He smiled. "Then I wouldn't stop until I could take you out and show you my world and the moon if you wanted."
Sasuke rolled his eyes. He really didn't like this guy.
Naruto almost threw up.
Hinata blushed deeply and shook her head. "Indeed, but of course there is no way that cheesiness would win someone like you over but you know I am the cheesiness fellow out there. Just the fact that I would I have to work for you attention would make finally having you look at me… just half the way you look at them," he pointed to Naruto and Sasuke, "Would be just enough for the time being."
Naruto smirked. Hinata wouldn't fall for this pip-squeak! He looked at the blushing ex-heiress and couldn't believe Hinata was blushing over this dude. Yes, he was a prince with all of his humble stuff and nice hair… and his gentleman like ways… but he wasn't ALL of that!
Naruto grumbled. He saved Konoha plenty of times, how about that for being cool!
She looked down at his hand still holding hers. Didn't he know that Naruto and Sasuke were burning holes into his skull? Maybe he didn't care? "And the moment when your porcelain eyes bat my way, and I know my heart will drop to my feet is the day I will never let you go." He smiled. "You would never have to speak because looking at you every day is worth more than petty wor-"
"Alright, I'm finished." Sasuke grabbed the plates and looked at Hinata. "Are you going to let me do it or fight me on it?" She smiled and stood taking the dishes from him. He snatched them back. "I'll help you then," She nodded and took the cups.
Tamaki looked at Naruto who was glaring at him. He didn't even think Hinata was a good shinobi there was no way he was getting away with that. "Hinata, aren't you going to start training again?" She turned nodded. "You're a prince. What do you think of women being shinobi?"
"I believe anyone can be anything. My mother was a shinobi before catching my father's eyes." He paused. "If you're going to ask me about Hyuuga-san, I believe she has a lot of…untapped potential." She turned around with a smile.
Naruto growled. He would always WIN he was a prince for kami's sake!
Sasuke dried the dishes. "You missed a spot." She gasped trying to grab the plate. "Joking…"
She giggled and went back to washing dishes. Naruto was more surprised about Sasuke! He got sympathy points because of his past and the fact the every girl thought he was 'misunderstood' and 'misguided' Naruto mentally growled. He would kill your grandma and laugh about it in your face! Yet, he was playing bubble buddy with Hinata. Naruto rethought his strategy. Prince one-upped him by just being born but Sasuke… oh he could do this… "Hina-chan, I can help you with your training!"
Sasuke rolled his eyes. "You're never going to be strong in that case," He muttered. She frowned at him. "It's true."
"Sasuke-teme would try to kill you." Naruto grumbled. Naruto mentally chuckled. Score, let's through the evil protégé thing in his face!
"I wouldn't play around with something as serious as making a person ready for combat, besides we have Kekkei Genkai… last time I checked you didn't"
Then he lost again. Naruto stood. "I am better than you."
Sasuke turned drying his hands still managing to look perfectly menacing. "You really think so?"
Naruto nodded. "I do… you think you're so much better than everyone because you trained under Orochimaru. I trained under Jiraiya… HELLO both are of the Three Legendary Sannin?"
"I didn't say it made me better… I am just better because it's in my blood and it might as well be in the circle of life."
Naruto growled and tackled him. Sasuke rolled over and pulled his ears. Naruto pinched his nose. Oh yeah, the newest Sannin are wrestling in the middle of the ex-heiress's kitchen. Tamaki stood up. "Shouldn't do you something?" He asked. Hinata shook her head and continued to clean up. Naruto straddled Sasuke.
"You like this, huh Snake boy!" He pulled his hair.
Sasuke flipped him over. "Yeah, fox face." Naruto grunted and got up.
"You make everything so weird!" He patted himself off.
Sasuke stood. "I'm still better than you." Hinata sighed and pointed to her door. "Are you kicking us out?" Sasuke asked. She nodded.
Naruto groaned. He lost. Wait… what was he trying to do? "See what you did jerk!" He glared at Sasuke before grabbing the Prince. "Sorry, Hina-" She shook her head pointing to the door. He frowned and walked out the door. "Come on, teme!"
He looked at Hinata. "I'm not going anywhere." He smirked. "And you can't make me." She grabbed his hand and tried pulling him to the door. He pulled her to him with ease. "What if it rains again tonight, Hama?" She stared at him for a moment before pulling away. He chuckled and walked to the backroom. She pouted and followed him.
He pulled down his sweat pants, taking his pants out the dryer. "Want a show?" She shook her head turning away. He pulled up his pants and walked over to her. "You have a habit of staring at me," He grabbed her chin. She had no choice but to look at him. He stepped forward until she was pressed to the wall. "It's rude," Her heart skipped a beat. His eyes held so much mischievousness. Her eyes wandered down to his lips. The smirk he managed to keep from turning into a smile. She blinked. She wanted to touch them. He chuckled. "Look, you're staring at my lips…" She closed her eyes as all the blood in her body seemed to flow into her face.
Her heart was beating out her chest. He grabbed her hand and dropped the other from her chin. "Can I…?" He whispered in her ear. She blinked at him as he brushed his bottom lip along her ear sending something…shocking down her spine. "Kiss you, Hama…" She nodded slowly.
He could no time with being soft, nothing about him as soft.
He crashed his lips on hers. She eyes instantly closed. He smirked against her lips as she followed his movements and pulled her closer feeling her arms wrap around his neck. He would have messed it if his hearing wasn't good but he heard her moan under him
…well that turned him on.
He pulled away and kissed her lightly. "Thanks," He pulled away looking at her very flushed face. "See you whenever." He gave a dismissively wave and walked out.
She touched her lips hearing the door closed.
.
Sasuke closed the door behind him looking at a very angry Naruto and Tamaki. "We were waiting!" Naruto growled.
What didn't Naruto get? He didn't want to be here. He didn't even like him or the 'smooth talking' prince. "Okay," He turned to them. "What are we going to do?" Trying to sound interested as he could.
They looked at Tamaki. "I don't know, it's your village!"
"Dude, there is nothing in Konoha but the people…" Naruto trailed off. "How much do you like ramen?"
Sasuke rolled his eyes walking in the direction. He had a feeling that his day was going to be packed with ramen and high blood pressure. He walked down the tuning out the busy blonds. Why had he kissed her? It did feel…nice. Was he just claiming his territory? Was she HIS territory? Yes. Yes she was.
What the hell did he just think?
Her moan is what made him stop. He heard many moans in his day… girls tried giving themselves to him since puberty and even before but after leaving to train under Orochimaru. He used it to an advantage. He was a gentleman to a limit, he never touched a girl without her permission or if she was drunk but if she was willingly then who was he to no do something about it. Of course, he never found them… he was too busy for that. Majority of the time, they were too loud, too annoying, too…much. He sighed as it echoed through his head.
Her moan just like her voice was soft and made his hair stand up. Shit, now he was interested.
Just like her fucking scar… he paused and looked up. Was his mother fucking with him? He frowned. He was eighteen… he wasn't starting shit right now.
Not a relationship. Not a family. Not a marriage. None of that so she could hang it up! He felt a cold breeze. He shook it off. No.
"Sasuke are you okay?" Naruto asked.
"Yeah," He mumbled and continued walking.
They saw Kiba, Shino, Shikamaru and the rest of the guys from the Rookie Nine sitting in the shop. Sasuke groaned. Boys bonding time…
He hated it.
"Two Miso Ramen please!" Naruto yelled.
Sasuke sat down. "Sasuke are you okay?" He looked up at Kiba.
"Yes."
He nodded. "Hey, is Hinata-chan okay, because I know she is terrified of storms…"
"She's fine." He felt his stomach churn. He needed to calm down if not he would act out and then they would freak out and Tsunade would hear about it then send him in for questioning and there was no way he was going to tell that old bat that he flipped out when people asked him about Hinata.
He also figured out if he activated his Sharingan, which is something natural to him since being under Orochimaru, and he happened to think about the ghost-eyed ex-princess that he would instantly bring her into a genjutsu. Did he miss that lesson of learning about the Sharingan? Of course not, this shit just wasn't normal.
Solution: Don't get too comfortable.
"Sasuke aren't you going to eat?" Naruto yelled.
"I'm not hungry."
Tamaki smiled. "You did eat a big breakfast."
Why did that make him mad? "Yeah, I'm going…to run it off." He disappeared.
He was in the training grounds. He growled. This was too small for him to train here. He sat down and decided to meditate.
.
He was sitting by a river. Shit, his Sharingan activated…which only meant he was thinking about, "Hama," He looked over. She was standing there confused.
Sakura and the girls are at the apartment. T-they will worry and I s-should g-g-get back.
"So you're nervous?"
Why do I have to be nervous? Oh, yeah he kissed me! She covered her head. She forgot he could read all of her thoughts.
He smirked. "You said I could." Hinata nodded. "Here." She appeared in front of him. She blinked as he touched her face. "Can I do it again?" She paused and nodded. He pulled her towards him and turned slightly as he lend in softly. She squeaked as he deepened the kiss. She wrapped her arms around him and felt the air around them change.
She felt his hands through her hair. She opened her eyes she didn't realize were closed to see they were in darkness. Sasuke… She breathed.
He pulled back. "I can't focus of the place around me…" He sighed and everything melted into the beach again. She blushed.
I should get back to the girls…
"Are you trying to avoid me?" She shook her head and kissed his nose. "Are you waiting for me to break it?" She nodded. "Let's see if the Byakugan can break it. She pouted and activated her Byakugan. Release! She was indeed gone. Sasuke sighed.
.
He opened his eyes. "Fucking girl…"
He stood up and began to walk to his apartment.
.
Hinata blinked. They were staring at her. "Is he back?" Ino whispered. She shook her head with a smiled. They all sighed. She frowned and grabbed Sakura arm pointing to her throat.
"Water?"
She shook her head.
"Tea?"
She shook her head.
"Talk?" She nodded happily. "You want to talk?" Hinata smiled. Sakura smiled. "Then do it." She shrugged. "You…don't know how to?" She nodded slowly.
Ino rubbed her back. "I wouldn't force it, Hina…" She smiled. "Something is probably going to scare you enough into you talking!" Hinata sighed. Why did she need to be scared? It was killing her not to be able to talk about Sasuke to the girls.
Sakura smiled. "Just try moving your jaw muscles first." She nodded and tried. "While you're doing that…I have a confession…" They all gave her their attention. "I… I think… I like Naruto…" She blurted out. She shook her head. "I am so sorry Hina!"
Hinata laughed softly and shook her head before giving her a dismissive wave. "You don't love him?" She shook her head. Sakura sighed. "Things is, I think he likes you a lot now" Hinata rolled her eyes and ate another cinnamon roll. "He does, you should have seen his face when he saw you and Sasuke!"
Ino looked crazy. "You and Sasuke? What happened?"
Sakura giggled. "I almost forgot the reason why you don't care about Naruto anymore! When we came to get Sasuke, he wasn't at his house. Naruto suggested we came over here to ask Hinata-chan. We walked in Ino, girl and guess what?!"
Ino gasped. "They were bumping nasty parts!"
The other two girls sweat dropped. Sakura sighed. "Nooo… Sasuke and Hinata were asleep together, Sasuke was all shirtless and Hinata was hugging him, all cozy like," She teased. "Long night, eh?"
Hinata blushed and shook her head. Ino smiled touching her chin thoughtfully. "I mean…"
Sakura smacked her hand. "Don't say it!" Ino whimpered.
Hinata gave them a questioning look. Ino smiled wickedly. "I was going to say…I mean, you can't exactly pop out kids so… it's like you don't have to worry about it." Hinata nodded and paused before blushing like crazy. She shook her head.
"Ino is a slut, don't listen to her." Sakura rolled her eyes pulling out a piece of her cinnamon roll. Ino gasped. Sakura gave a smile. "What? It's true."
"It's not true. I have you know me and Shikamaru…" She blushed. "Umm…nothing…never mind."
The two girls looked up at the blushing blonde. Sakura laughed and grabbed Ino's hand. "Oh my Goodness, Ino-pig!"
She snatched away. "I h-have to go!" She kissed Hinata's cheek. "See you later, love… Sakura!" Sakura stuck her tongue out as the blonde ran out the door.
Sakura walked to the window. "It looks like it's going to storm again," She looked to Hinata who was eating another cinnamon roll. "Hinata, you're going to explode!" Hinata shrugged and drank some milk. She sat down smiling at her sadly. "Hina…"
Hinata looked up. Nothing can come good of Sakura looking at way. She slammed her head on the table. Hinata squeaked and rubbed the girl's head. She looked up. "You would think I would be stressing over the very tedious training Tsunade is putting me through," She sighed. "But I can't help but want Naruto's attention again."
Hinata closed her eyes to keep from rolling her eyes. Naruto loved this girl since they were small and she only looked at Sasuke. Sasuke had always been her picture in the great frame of life while Naruto sat in the background just hoping she would look at him that way and the moment when Naruto finally takes his eyes off of her for a moment she is in love with him?
Pretty shady.
Who was she to talk though?
She didn't love Naruto but then again she did. She didn't really feel much for Sasuke but he was in her life now and frankly more than she wanted. He kissed her so… she couldn't even describe it.
He wasn't her first kiss. Kiba had kissed her.
She shuddered at the memory. They completed a hard mission, he cheered and hugged her apparently he thought they had a moment and kissed her. Kiba was like a brother. A silly, advice giving brother and that kiss made her feel… weird.
Incest.
She shuddered again.
She looked at the pinkette trying to listen to her problems. "-like I know I have been ignoring him but only because I didn't want to ruin what we had, you know our friendship."
Bullshit.
Hinata mentally sighed. She was hanging with Naruto and Sasuke too much. She nodded at the girl. Was this being rude? Hinata knew she is saying nothing but bullshit but acting like she is right for her decisions. Hinata could only dream to be in Sakura place before. She was pretty, exotic, smart and very strong. Not forgetting the most important fact.
Naruto loved her.
Maybe she wasn't a good friend? Maybe she just questioned herself too much?
She smirked at her inner debate. "Hinata am I a bitch?" She looked up at the girl sitting in front of her.
Yes, of course you are.
She shook her head. Sakura nodded. "Do you think I should tell him how I feel?"
Yes. She nodded her head. Sakura stood. "I will! Thank you, Hinata-chan!" She sighed. "What if he rejects me?"
Then they could be in the same boat. Hinata shook her head. Sakura nodded slowly and walked out the apartment. Hinata looked at the last three cinnamon rolls. Ino was hiding something. Hinata stuffed one in her mouth.
Sakura was confessing something. She bit into another one.
She was going to get fat at this rate. She looked at the smaller cinnamon roll. What about her? What about Hinata? What was wrong with Hinata? Better question, what wasn't wrong with her?
She picked it up. She could start a bakery? Sweet Rolls? Sweet Scrolls? She giggled. Maybe Hinata's Hotcakes? She paused. Oh yeah, that's a good one.
She held it up to her mouth. She put it down. She could give it to Sasuke… he deserved something right? He did save her. She smiled and went into her cabinet and pulled out a small container and put a cute bow on it.
She hesitated. Sakura said back in their academy days he didn't like sweets. She shrugged. It's the thought that counts, right? She grabbed a piece of paper.
Thanks for everything, it's a cinnamon roll. I hope you like it. From, Hinata Hyuuga.
She rubbed her neck. If she was personally giving it to him why did she need a card? She put it down and went to the door. She walked across the street feeling the rain on her skin.
She wouldn't stay long. If she hurried she could back in enough time before the storm got bad. She walked over and knocked on the door. She waited.
What if he isn't home?
She knocked again. "Who is it?" She heard his voice. She bit her lip and knocked again. He opened the door with a frown. "What?" He bit out. She stepped back from a moment and handed him the container. He watched her for a moment.
He took the container. "A small cinnamon roll?" He asked. She nodded. "I hate sweets." He closed it and looked at her. "Come inside." She shook her head. He grabbed her hand and pulled her inside. She mentally cursed herself.
She took off her shoes.
BOOM!
She froze in her spot. "It's storming." He said putting the box on his island. She pulled off her jacket and walked over to him sitting at the island and took the container. "What are you doing? You gave it to me." She looked up.
He just said he hated sweets!
He opened it up and stared at it. "It's a lot of frosting." Was he going to complain about it? He walked around and gave her the container. "Here," She blinked feeling very confused. She took it biting to it. He grabbed her chin before her teeth could break through it. He leaned forward bit the other half. Her eyes lit up.
"Good," He pulled back. Her face turned five different shades of red. He smirked and leaned to her until they were inches apart. "Hama, are you nervous?" He grabbed her chin. "Mm?" She grabbed his hands. He glanced down at her shaky hands on his. She parted her lips slightly as if she wanted to say something.
"What Hama?" He looked down at her. She stood up and took a deep breath. He crashed his lips on hers, she squeaked trying to keep up. He sucked on her bottom lip before pulling back. "I'm Sorry…" He bit out. She walked around and smiled pulling him down to her lips. She liked his face, like he was trying to control himself.
BOOM!
She pushed herself into his body. "I thought we got over this?" He muttered. She shook her head. "Mmm, stay with me tonight?" She stepped back. She would be fine alone, alone without this very tempting man in front of her!
He was all tall and mysterious but she didn't want it. She somehow craved it but just like another cinnamon roll. SHE DID NOT NEED IT.
"Hama," She stepped back. "I am not doing to do anything." She stared at him. Part of her believed it the other part just wanted to be in her house in her own territory… but if she did she wouldn't have come over in the first place.
She wanted to be alone yet she was here.
Her heart dropped when the power went out. She felt tears come to her eyes. She didn't know this place at all. "You're hyperventilating." She freaked out when his arm touched her head. "Calm the fuck down right now."
Did he think cursing at her would help? Her stomach dropped when she was lifted off the ground. She kicked around her. She felt her eyes burning as she was dropped on what felt like a bed. He opened the window and watched the rain pelt the glass. "Do you want me to hurt you?" She watched him stand in front of the mirror.
"Do you?"
She shook her head, tears still flowing down her face.
"I am not him!" He growled. "So stop that fucking crying." He sat on the end of the bed. She wiped her face and crawled up to him. He looked at the floor feeling arms wrap around his torso. Her face pressed into his back and legs on either side of his.
He sighed. What did he get himself into?
BA-BOOM!
He felt her tighten her hold. He looked at her bare legs and so badly did he want to touch them. He took calming breaths in hopes she would mock them. Was he wrong for wanting her after everything that had happened?
She wouldn't trust another man especially not the infamous traitor of Konoha.
He closed his eyes feeling his bloodline take over.
.
He picked her up. "Hama," She moved and looked over her shoulder. They were in a flower field. "No more storm." She pressed her head into the crook of his neck. He could feel her smile against his skin.
Thank you, Sasuke-kun.
He stopped back. Wait that wasn't the first time she said his name? It would so damn good this time though. He let her get down.
You aren't as bad as people say.
He smirked putting a hand on his hip. "I am bad… horrible, evil, a tyrant and the most popular evil over lord. I think I have the face for it though?" He pointed to his spinning tomoes. She smiled and picked up a flower. "I just told you I would protect you. I don't break promises."
She smiled smelling the scented flower. That is good to know.
He shrugged and started walking. "You really freaked out," He looked over.
I just get scared…sometimes.
He turned and sat down. "Sometimes? You are always afraid of something. You are a shinobi trivial things such as storms shouldn't have you fainting."
She looked down and sat down with him. I'm sorry.
"Why are you apologizing?" He sighed looking at her lost face. "Let's go."
She grabbed his arm. The storm!
He smirked.
.
She blinked and she was still holding onto him. Looking out the window, it was still storming. Her eyes drifted off to his clock. It was just 9:02pm! She stopped breathing for a second feeling a hand on her leg. She looked over and Sasuke's hand was moving up and down her leg. She blinked.
He was such a weird man.
He fell backwards on her. She groaned and giggled. For someone so lean he was quite heavy. She tried moving but he was too heavy. "Am I hurting you?"
Weird, no. For him to be such a bad guy he was actually quite humorous and thoughtful…at time like any other human.
He took her silence as 'No.' His head rest right under her rib cage. Her fingers found his head. For his hair to look like it had tons of gel in it, it was so soft. His hand rested on her leg but head looking at the ceiling. She sighed listening to the rain.
"I'm tired." He mumbled.
She smiled and pushed herself to sit up. His head rested in her lap. "I thought I wasn't heavy." He looked up at her. She smiled and continued to play in his raven tresses. He rolled over and climbed on her. Her eyes widen. "Are you scared?" His Sharingan spun.
She shook her head. Truth was she was freaking out. "You're lying." He growled in her ear. He pulled back into the eyes he hated.
It wasn't because of their size, or the way they were shape, or the milk like color, but the fact that he could clearly see how he was in her eyes. They showed everything. He watched himself in her eyes.
He true self that he most of the time hate. He wouldn't say that aloud though. "I could hurt you," He spoke into the darkness. Her heartbeat slowed down because he would say it but he wouldn't do it. "I could kill you," He could but he wasn't going to. "I just want to…" He smirked against her lips. "I just want you to belong to me." Her eyes widen was he kissed her softly.
She couldn't help it. Every time he kissed her she wanted to push him away and cry in a corner but she never did. She would think it but do the exact opposite. He had that expression plastered on his face again. His fist was balled up beside her head then they grabbed hers. She used the other hair to dig into his thick hair. He pulled back and kissed her jawline.
It felt like little shocks every kiss. She couldn't fight the moan that flooded the room. He clenched his fist again. He… He was shaking. Lightning flashed throughout the room, she flinched preparing for the noise after.
BOOM! BOOM!
She felt his teeth bit her skin. He was trying to control himself for her sake. She felt so right. She smelt and tasted like those God forsaken cinnamon rolls. Her touch sent shivers down his spine. He paused. He was evil. This was the definition of evil right? Him touching her like this? He rolled them over. She kissed him back fully in return. "Stop," He voiced. She pulled back. "You don't want this… don't force yourself."
She sat up. He mentally groaned. Did she not know what she was sitting on? She closed her eyes trying to wipe the tears that were quickly forming. "Just… Just go to sleep, Hama." He pushed her over gently. He sat up as she grabbed his wrist.
That was that look again. The look she gave him in the hospital but this one was different. He sighed and lied back down as she held him flinching every time thunder pierced through the walls.
His mother was mind-fucking him.
He had been trying to fight this feeling.
He knew what his unfinished business was.
It pissed him off but he knew as he patted the frighten girl's head that was latched onto him. Hinata Hyuuga or Hama would be the one to change him, it was scary but true… she would change him into the man his mother and brother wanted him to be and she… well he would change her.
And that was the most frightening thing.
