Recap

…I knew that working with both of them would be something enjoyable, but I was also doubtful. I don't know if I could become a CEO…if I could beat my father, Neji, and Hanabi. I was so worried that I couldn't be what Itachi needed to take over father's company, and I was also worried about Neji…I don't know how much longer I could fight him off before…before it was too late.

I did know one thing though; I truly wished Sasuke was here…

Chapter 9

I got a ride home from Itachi and Deidara, Father said that he and Neji would be staying late after our sessions for reasons I wouldn't understand.

I sighed as I opened the door to the house, it seemed colder then before, which I have to say is pretty cold to begin with. I walked up the stairs and got to my room, with my head down.

I slowly started to get undressed,

"Wow…Hinata…" I heard someone say from behind me.

I turned around with my shirt unbuttoned and saw Sasuke sitting on my bed with his hands in his lap. I walked over to him and crawled on his lap, I slowly started to kiss his lips and was happy when he started kissing me back.

I pulled away and slowly pushed him back on my bed.

"Hinata, what's gotten into you?" He asked in a soft breathless voice.

I didn't answer him I just wanted to get the taste of Neji off my lips, when I started to kiss him again more forcefully then before I knew he was now questioning my intentions, but Neji's words just kept coming back in my mind.

"I want you to always dream of me…"

I kissed Sasuke's neck, softly, and looked into his eyes.

"You taste heavenly, Hinata."

I closed my eyes and kissed his lips again, trying to stop the tears that seemed to want to come out.

"I wonder if every inch of you taste as sweet."

I was still kissing Sasuke's lips but I knew he could feel the wetness falling from my eyes. Slowly pulling away from me he looked up.

"Hinata, what's-" but he stopped himself from asking his questions when he looked at me. Instead he pulled me into his chest, and held me as I cried my eyes out. I clung to Sasuke as if he was my lifeline and if I was truly honest with myself, he was.

We lay on my bed as he hugged me and stroked my hair. I never wanted him to stop; I just wanted to stay in his arms.

"I Love you so much Sasuke…don't ever leave me." I said still trying to stop the tears.

"I would never leave you Hinata. Nothing could ever make me want to leave you." He said softly in my ear. When ever he says things like this it makes me feel as if I don't deserve him I sat up and looked him in the eyes. I had to tell him.

"Sasuke…" I lost my voice really I just wanted to crawl into a hole away from everyone but him. "I'm scared…I'm scared of N-N…NEJI!" I yelled, and launched myself into his chest once again letting tears fall.

Sasuke was silent and still. I didn't want to look up I was afraid to. I was afraid he'd be disgusted in me…I was afraid he wouldn't want me.

"Hinata…what has he done to you…?" He asked in a cold vice. "Has he touched you?!"

I looked up at him in shock; I didn't know what to think of his anger, and coldness.

"Answer ME!" He yelled grabbing my arms.

"Sasuke…you're scaring me…" I said softly my eyes wide.

He let his hands fall, "Hinata…why didn't you tell me…why didn't you come to me sooner?" He asked slightly hurt.

"What was I suppose to say Sasuke? How was I suppose to tell you that my cousin wants to…wants to…" I looked away from him unable to form the words. "Why are you making this my fault!" I yelled at him suddenly, "Do you think I like the fact that he kissed me!? Do you think I like the fact that he wants my body!?"

"Do you? You must have some feelings for him you never told me!" He yelled back.

I froze and looked at him, I couldn't believe Sasuke, and I thought he would understand I thought he would see that Neji was at fault, not I. I got up from my bed and walked away from him hugging myself.

"Maybe, you see me like everyone else does." I said still facing away from him, "See me as a failure, a waste of space…I wish sometimes I was never born…"

"Hinata…I didn't mean that…I'm so sorry…" He got of the bed and walked toward me.

"No. Get away from me Sasuke, I see now. I see what I am in your eyes." I said strongly, I let the tears fall from my eyes. "I don't know how I fell in love with you..."

He stopped in his tracks. "Hinata, you don't mean that…"

"I don't know anymore…" I said looking at him, "How can I love someone that views me…as a weak pathetic person that would want to have sex with their cousin?"

I then started to walk toward him. "You don't believe that I don't want to get raped? I have no feelings for Neji now other then Extreme hate…and you would actually believe that I like the fact that he makes me feel dirty?...How could you Sasuke?"

He just stood there then after what felt like an eternity he spoke, "Your right Hinata…I-I don't deserve your love…I don't deserve you at all…Just please…please let me protect you from now on…I promise to protect you if you just give me another chance to prove how special you are."

"I…" I couldn't speak the honesty in his voice melted my anger, but I was still uneasy.

Sasuke was standing in front of me, his eyes so clear and full of vulnerability, he pulled me into a tight hug.

"You don't have to say anything Hinata…just know that I will prove myself to you again…I feel as if I let you down in more then one way…just let me be the man you need me to be…with no doubts." He said straight determination.

All I could do is nod; I didn't want to cry anymore. Not now any ways.

We laid on my bed again this time my back was facing his front and his arms around me in a tight grip. I felt him shift…and felt him loosen his grip.

I grabbed his hand before his fully pulled away.

"Stay with me Sasuke, please…just for tonight…I don't want to be in this room alone just in case…" I stopped talking and he turned me over. I laid on my pillow as he was leaning over me.

"You had me at stay…I don't care about the consequences…if he comes in here…I'd stay with you just because you asked me too." He said slowly moving closer to me for a kiss.

I kissed him happily, I love him so much...I'll never believe I'll deserve a person like Sasuke…even if we fight he is so open with me…I love everything about him… when we pulled away I lifted my hand up and lightly touched his check softly.

"I Love you…So much." I said with a lot of emotion in my voice…I didn't think I was capable of saying those words so strongly to him yet so emotionally. I wanted him to know how much I loved him and saying it like that I think he understood, because he bent down and touched his forehead to mine and whispered those same three words back, softly onto my lips.

We heard the door from across from us open and close swiftly; Sasuke moved from on top of me to lay behind me again and pulled me firmly to his chest. We both laid on my bed still unable to move from anticipation on what Neji might do.

"It's going to be okay my love…I won't let anyone or anything hurt you…that includes myself." Sasuke whispered softly in my ear, and then kissed it for reassurance.

I turned to look at Sasuke, "I know it will be now that you are beside me…" I said scooting into his chest. I wanted to be consumed by Sasuke…always.

I didn't know when I feel asleep but I do know that when I woke up I was alone…I felt somewhat disappointed that He wasn't there, but I guess he had to get home to face his brother and tell him why he wasn't home all night. I got up and stretched and as I did I saw a note fall to the ground by my feet. I knew it was from Sasuke even before I read it.

My loving Hinata,

I left at the first sign of morning. I didn't want to leave because I had the best sleep I've ever gotten by holding you in my arms. I will be waiting for you on my steps much like my first day of school. Please don't keep me waiting to long…

Love Sasuke

I looked at the note again and smiled, it was sweet how he is always thinking of me. Then I thought back to last night when he, thought I enjoyed Neji's advances…could it be that he was just jealous? But that's ridiculous…Sasuke should know that I would never see my Neji like that…but still I can't get his eyes out of my head…I shook my head trying to rid it of those thoughts. He knew he was wrong…he told me…I shook my head and finished getting ready for the day.

When I walked out of the door I saw Sasuke staring at my front door again…only this time when he saw me his face softened and he smiled. When he got to my door he hugged me close to him.

"Thank you Hinata…for letting me sleep one night next to you…" He said softly in my hair.

I don't know why but his words, made me blush and I hid my face in his chest. I always loved to get lost in his scent. It was purely him…just Sasuke.

"Sasuke…" I said after we started walking to school, it was slightly cloudy and cold. I was wearing his blazer and his arm around me.

"Hn." He said softly to tell me he was listening.

"Why did you…get angry at me yesterday?" I said stop walking and looking at him. His actions and words I couldn't get out of my mind and they were slowly taking over my mind.

"I…don't want to talk about this Hinata." He said walking ahead of me.

"Why, not…if you where jealous of him…" I broke off, and he stopped walking.
