Don't Leave Me

Sasuke gripped the railing of the school roof tight as he watched Hinata. He felt disgusted. Why the hell would she lead him on like that? But where the hell was she leading him to? He watched her tremble and shake from above and he wanted to help but his pride wouldn't let him. Naruto came through the door to the school roof with armfuls of Ramen and Sasuke turned his attention away from Hinata. They ate in silence and it was really irritating Naruto, he didn't like silence.

"Yo! Sasuke-" Naruto started but was interrupted by Sasuke.

"What is your relation to Hinata Hyuga?" Sasuke asked or more like stated. Naruto gave him an inquiring look but answered anyway.

"She's my girlfriend." Naruto said simply but he sounded like he wanted to continue so Sasuke waited.

The word girlfriend kept ringing in his head, the one girl he actually took interest in was taken. Taken. By the village idiot.

"It was around the end of summer and I was walking along, minding my own business when this weird white eyed girl pops out of nowhere." Naruto chuckled and Sasuke's fists clench.

"Well she said that she liked me a lot and stuff for a really long time. I didn't really know what to say but I asked her out on a date, which she of course said yes to. While I was getting ready a great idea popped into my head. She is an heiress and having her as a girlfriend would make Sakura jealous. And well she is kinda nice looking." Naruto confessed.

"But she cry's a lot. Something about her father and family. It gets tiresome after a while. I haven't seen her in weeks."

Sasuke could feel his nails dig deep into his own skin and blood trickle down. He was trying to stop himself from going down there and trying to comfort her. She still led him on. She still lied. But he'd never asked. He assumed. Naruto playfully punched him in the shoulder and smiled.

"Why so serious?" Naruto did a bad Joker impression and Sasuke glared at him.

"Did you cheat on her?" Sasuke asked.

"Yes. She's not an easy girl if you know what I mean. So yeah I have and I have another date tonight with this hot blonde chick named-" Naruto said and then he noticed that Sasuke was no longer there.

---That Night---

Hinata was just finishing up her homework and it was around midnight but she didn't want to go to sleep. Every time she closed her eyes she saw her and that wretched doll. Hinata fingered her own hair and frowned, it was just like her mother's in texture and color. One day it would be just as long. But she couldn't cut it. Cutting it would remind her of the confident little girl she used to be... a tap to her window broke her thoughts and she turned to see none other than Sasuke Uchiha on the tree outside her window. He looked like a dark angel perched out on her tree and he motioned for her to open her window. Hinata shook her head and held her hands to her chest. She was not going to open that window. It would give her hope that he actually cared when in fact no one did and no one ever would. She watched as Sasuke brought a pocket knife out of his pocket and unscrewed the screws to her window and opened it from the outside. Hinata panicked and ran to her adjoining bathroom, hopped into the empty bathtub, and closed the shower curtain. She brought her knees up to her chest and wrapped her arms around her legs. She heard Sasuke walk calmly into the bathroom and sit down next to the tub. She watched his silhouette run its fingers through his hair before speaking.

"You didn't tell me you had a boyfriend." Sasuke said numbly and Hinata bit her lower lip.

"Y-y-you didn't, didn't ask." Hinata stammered.

"Do I really have to Hinata?" Sasuke let out a frustrated sigh.

"You don't know me." Hinata said slowly so she didn't stutter. "Yet you constantly interfere. Why?"

Sasuke just sat there and stared at his hand. He really didn't know her did he? He could hear a slight sniffle from the other side of the curtain.

"Why when no one else cares do you keep coming back?! Why!" Hinata asked desperately.

Sasuke stood up and yanked the shower curtain open to find Hinata with her knees up to her chest and her arms wrapped around herself. He stepped into the tub and squatted down in front of her. He reached out to her but she slapped his hand away.

"No! I don't want false hope. I don't want you to pretend that you care and then ignore me!" Hinata yelled and clutched her head with her hands and squeezed her eyes shut tight.

"I don't wanna be alone. I don't wanna be alone! I DON'T WANNA BE ALONE!" Hinata cried and fisted her hair.

Sasuke pulled her sobbing form into his chest and laid back into the tub with her on top of him. He removed her hands from her head and intertwined their fingers together. She cried into his chest until there weren't anymore tears and at that point Sasuke began to speak.

"When I was five my mother took me and my brother ice skating..." Sasuke said and Hinata felt her heart jump.

He was telling her about himself and Hinata hoped that one day soon she could tell him about herself. They stayed in each other's embrace all night long and into the wee hours of the morning in that bathtub and Hinata was happy. She didn't have to go to sleep. She told him a little bit about herself but nothing past the age of seven. She realized that they had more in common than she realized.

They liked the same foods and a few of the same TV shows and whenever he said her name it sent shivers down her spine. Or maybe that was just his hands running up and down her back. But whatever it was she liked it and she never wanted it to end.

The next day Hinata came to school by herself, struggling under the weight of work she missed, but this time Sasuke was waiting for her at the front entrance of the school. He was surrounded by a gaggle of girls and guys alike but he pushed them aside to get to Hinata. She was really surprised. She looked up at him and he looked down at her with his hands shoved in his pockets. To the many onlookers it looked almost romantic but to the two people involved it was acceptance and acknowledgement. Either's gaze wavered. Sasuke took her book bag and she held in a sigh from the weight being taken off of her shoulders. Then without a word they went into the building. The crowds parted like the red sea and Hinata felt her heart sputter with all of the death glares and curious glances. They made their way the classroom without a problem, well until Naruto came up behind Hinata and wrapped his arms around her. Hinata gasped and noticed that he smelled like perfume.

"Good Morning Hinata." Naruto said and kissed her cheek before turning to Sasuke.

"Yo teme!" Naruto waved and Sasuke turned on his heel into the classroom.

"What's his problem?" Naruto asked no one in particular before turning his attention back to Hinata.

"So Hinata I was wondering if I could pick you up at seven this Saturday?"

Hinata just stared up at him dumbfounded. He hadn't even asked if she would like to go, he just assumed that she was free. But she was free and that was the sad part. She nodded slowly and he smiled.

"Awesome." He said and led her into the classroom.

Sasuke stared absently at the chalkboard at the front of class. The teacher was talking about cell division, blah, blah, blah. It held no importance to him what so ever. He could feel himself nodding off and soon he was fast asleep.

"Mother! Father!" a small boy with a messy mop of raven hair cried as he ran towards his parents.

They were dressed in their rain coats and had their umbrellas and suitcases at the ready. His mother smelled of the expensive perfume his father bought her for her birthday and as he got closer the smell engulfed him. Lilac. He tugged on his too-big t-shirt that was falling off his shoulder and looked up at them longingly.

"Please don't leave me!" the boy whimpered but both parents just smiled down at him like he was a puppy doing a trick.

"Now be a good boy Sasuke." His mother smiled and rubbed his head affectionately.

Sasuke frowned. They were never home and this was the line his mother always used when they would go away for a long time.

"Listen to Madara Sasuke." His father said sternly then opened his umbrella and went out into the onslot of rain.

"Goodbye honey." His mother smiled and opened the door to leave as well.

"DON'T LEAVE ME!" Sasuke yelled but he couldn't be heard over the roll of thunder that shook the house.

He rubbed his eyes furiously with his tiny fists and cried until he felt a strong hand on his head. He looked up expecting to see his father but instead caught the creepy gaze of his uncle. His uncle smiled eerily at him and stroked his hair.

"Don't worry Sasuke. I will always be with you." He said and at the time Sasuke didn't understand but that phrase had a double meaning.

"Now come with your Madara. I want to play a game." The older man chuckled and led the boy further into the dark house.

Sasuke awoke to Hinata shaking him awake and she had a concerned in her eyes. He looked up at the clock over the chalk board. 12:30. Lunch. He slowly got up and rubbed the place where his neck and shoulder met. He hurt all over. Just like that night.

"Let's eat Hinata." Sasuke said and she nodded before following him out of the room.
