Sasuke woke up to the blinking light that was outside the window of the hut. He rubbed his eye and stretched. He looked down to find his clothes missing and the body that was lying next to him gone as well as her clothes. Sasuke smirked and lied back down with his hands behind his head. He gave himself to the woman he loved last night. It was the most wonderful sensation he had ever felt in his life. Hanako never looked so beautiful before. Her smell still lingered on the side she laid on. He took it in for a second before getting out of the small bed.

Naruto was up earlier than usual. He made his way toward the forest. He needed to get his mind off of what happened last night. Hinata was in love with him. Didn't feel like he deserved her feelings. What was he going to do with the heir of Hyuga as his lover? Her father would kill him if he found her in his arms. Naruto sighed and looked up at the sunrise. He soon saw Hanako coming out from the woods adjusting her shirt a little, not really paying attention. He was confused and happy at the same time. Confused that he didn't know why she would be in the forest this hour and happy knowing she could help with this Hinata thing.

"Hey Hanako!" he called and waved at her. She looked up, smiled, and waved back.

"What are you doing out this early?" he asked once they met.

"I could ask you the same thing. Something bugging you?" she asked.

"Is it the noticeable?" he asked.

"Written all over your face," she commented, "Come on. We'll talk about it over breakfast. My treat.

"I love you, Hanako-san," he said, as he got teary.

They stopped at the Ramen bar, ate a little before Naruto explained his problem.

"So you see, if I say no, I break her heart and if I say yes, I'm dead all together, because of her father and maybe Neji," he finished.

"Well, what does your heart tell you?" Hanako asked after finishing her bowl.

"Mer 'art?" he asked with a mouth full.

"Yes. It help me know that Sasuke was the one for me," she said as a blush crept on her face. Naruto smiled knowing they were truly meant for each other.

"And so what if her father would kill you. If it's love, then it's a risk you are willing to take for her. If you love her, tell her. If you don't, tell her all the same. I have to go before I'm late for training. Take care, Naruto," she said as she pat him on the back and paid for the both of them.

Sasuke walked in the forest enjoying the peace that was around him. Never had he felt so happy. Hanako was the person who made him forget everything. He felt free. He had to leave Orochimaru for her. It was to prove that he loved her even more than before. They would run away and start their lives a new. They'd start a family in the country. He would be an ANBU cop and she would be at home taking care of their children. They would have a big family and he would love them all the same. His thoughts were interrupted when he found himself surrounded by the Neko clan. He pulled his chokuto out in defense.

"It's no use fighting us," came Arihiro's voice as he stepped out.

"What do you want?" he asked harshly.

"You," Arihiro said and Sasuke felt someone knock him out.

Arihiro smirked, nodded to two of his henchmen to carry him back. Orochimaru would be please to fight one of his top fighters in his hands. He knew he needed to keep Hanako busy so she didn't know about Sasuke's capture.

"Mushi, Koji," he called, "Go to Otogakure, send word to Orochimaru that one of his men has been captured, and take Hanako with you. Don't tell her who it is."

"Why?" Mushi asked.

"If she knows, she may not come," Arihiro said, "Now go, do as I say, and tell Orochimaru I'll be waiting for him."

The two disappeared to Hanako's room, who was lying on her bed. She was shocked to find them in her room and in uniform.

"What happened?" she asked, "I went for training and…"

"Changed," Mushi said strictly.

"What?" she asked confused.

"You heard me. Dress. We have a mission," he said and walked out of the room, "You not ready in three minutes, we'll leave you."

Hanako was shocked that he was still upset about her disappearance and looked at Koji in confusion. He just smiled weakly and left.

"You could be nicer about it," Koji said as he closed the doors to her room.

"Well, that Uchiha id getting what he deserves. She shouldn't be around someone like him," Mushi snapped.

"She's a teenage girl. She's going to fall in love. We have no control over that," Koji replied.

"Well, now we do," Mushi said and climbed down the stairs as Hanako exited her room changed.

She gave Koji a look that read, 'What's wrong?' Koji followed Mushi down stair, as did Hanako. They said a prayer and marked themselves before masking themselves. They headed off the Otogakure.

Orochimaru sat in his room in peace as he stared into the fire. He knew something had happen to Sasuke since he hadn't returned from his trip to Konohagure. Kabuto soon interrupted his peace.

"What?" he said harshly.

"My lord, followers of Neko clan wish to speak to you," Kabuto said.

"Bring them in," Orochimaru said and they came. He smiled knowing one of them had to be the girl Sasuke had fallen for as he sized them up.

"What brings you to me?" he asked.

"We come by orders to tell you we've captured one of your follower," Mushi spoke up.

"Oh, so that's what happened to the Uchiha," Orochimaru said allowed. Hanako was shocked to hear this, but showed no emotion.

"Yes, we have capture Uchiha Sasuke. If you want him back, you'll have to see Master Arihiro," Mushi said firmly and the three disappeared together.

"Oh goodie," Orochimaru said smirking.
