***SASUKE***

Sitting down Sasuke sighed looking over to his 'friend' he huffed, more like traveling companion. Looking away he growled at his stomach as it growled and hurt with hunger pains, so in all he was hot, hungry and frustrated. The damn man who had promised him so much had disappeared leaving him with the shy girl. She of which had yet to say a word other than rambles of nothing.

Hinata looked at Sasuke blushing with embarrassment when she was caught glimpsing at him for probably the umpteenth million time. "Sorry." She mumbled.

Sasuke groused, "Don't apologize your supposed to be a ninja, so don't apologize." He growled his dark panther cat ears twitching in sync with his tail. Looking at the small wolf he hissed when he saw her wince. "Have some pride dammit- wolves are supposed to be full of it!" 'among other things.' Sasuke hissed to himself mentally.

Hinata shied away "S-sorry!" she stumbled over the word and Sasuke wanted to bash his head against the tree behind him in anger. "I said quit apologizing!" he hissed as he shifted and leapt into the tree allowing his tail to hang over the large branch as he rested on it he shade causing some small relief to one problem. "This is such a load of bullshit, I should kill that bastard for leaving us!"

"Maybe K-Kakashi didn't abandon us…m-maybe he went h-hunting! O-or even to look for my lost family and yours, so p-please don't talk mean a-about him… he seems nice-" Hinata was cut off by a yowl of anger. He eyes shot up to the glaring black cat.

"Believe what you will weakling" Sasuke snarled at the young purpled haired girl before his voice regained his own calm. "but I assure you neither of my parents or anyone from my clan for that matter will be returning… I suspect the same for you. Remember clans with no village are little more than a stepping stone. Clans who have branched off from their villages' in an attempt to create their own ninja village or even just to quit being a ninja eventually die out! Always! Yours and mine both for different reasons have lost our clan." Hinata wanted to disagree to cry and pout but she held it in till her chest hurt and just looked back to the ground.

Finally, Hinata looked up and took a deep breath in at the silence that fallowed. "Sasuke? What happened to your parents?" the growl she heard as a warning made he stop and she just decided to fiddle with her fingers as she leaned against the same tree Sasuke lay perched in.

Sasuke looked at Hinata and sighed again lifting his large head he hopped down from the tree he towered over the thirteen year old. Standing at about four foot five at the shoulders the cat let his deep black blue eyes look at the girl. Lying down next to the girl he huffed. "My brother snapped and became too animalistic, he killed every one. That's why I'm on this journey, to train in the arts of a samurai and become stronger than him and kill my brother." Hinata looked torn between comforting the big black cat or apologizing instead settling on reaching out and gently stroking the cat behind the ears. The cat had just started to purr before yowling irritated like and leaping back into the tree. "Don't touch me!" he snarled at the girl who shied away, only nodding a couple of times.

Hinata returned her fearful gaze to the ground. 'Too animalistic- to be unable to tell the difference of their worlds. What would cause one to become such a creature? What a horrible way to go'. Looking back to Sasuke she dared to ask on. "Where is your brother now?"

Sasuke swallowed thickly his eyes seeming to go from red to maroon as if in deep thought. "I don't know, all I know is he IS alive and I WILL kill him!" the cat snarled quietly. Hinata felt her ears flatten and she nodded. Shifting she curled into a ball and let her mind wander off into the depths of her mind where no matter how much she hurt outside it would be safe and full of her families smiles.
