Hinata tossed and turned in bed she was having a hard time getting to sleep once again. This insomniac behavior started two weeks ago when Sasuke was sent on a mission. As she laid there she remembered why she was alone now.

The morning after Naruto's party Sasuke was called in to the Hokage's office. When he returned he didn't look too happy. "I am being sent on a mission. I leave in an hour I have to pack."

Hinata was upset that he was leaving her, "Oh…."

"I'm sorry but my skills are needed I have to go."

"I understand." She was sad since she was hoping to learn more about her past but that would have to wait now. "I…..can help you pack."

He walked past her to their bedroom, "If you want too." Hinata handed Sasuke his things as he packed them into his bad, "Can you do me a favor? Stay out of the closet in the living room."

"Why are there anymore secrets?"

"No…it's just that if you go in there I'm afraid you'll just get more confused. When I get back we'll go through everything I promise."

It was a little suspicious but she nodded, "Ok I won't go in there I promise."

He threw his back over his shoulder and leaned into kiss her check. "Thank you I'll try to be back as soon as I can."

She walked him to the door, "Be safe p-please."

He hugged her tightly, "Not a scratch I promise."

She watched him walk away until she could no longer see him. And in that split second her heart ached. She looked around the empty apartment knowing it was going to be very lonely without him.

Hinata sighed as she looked up at the ceiling she hadn't realized how big her bed was without Sasuke. She had spent the past two weeks going stir crazy. All her friends were either on mission or training and she wasn't allowed to do either one. They stopped by from time to time and Hinata pretended she was ok.

She couldn't believe after such a short time she could feel lost without. She started talking to herself out load, "Come on Hinata, why are you so depressed? Is it healthy to be so dependent on one person? I guess if I had other things to do besides sit and wait it be better. I feel so guilty I should have told him how I felt before he left even if I'm not too sure. Or I should have at least kissed him on the lips…..just in case. I just wish he'd come home soon so I can stop hallucinating that I see or hear him. Great I'm hearing keys right now."

Hinata listen silently to what she thought were her hallucinations. She heard the door opened and then footsteps she quickly sat up and activated her Byakugan to see a familiar chakra pattern. She couldn't help herself she jumped out of bed and ran into the living room jumping on top of Sasuke before he even got to put his bag down. "YOU'RE BACK!!"

He was a little shocked by her reaction she hadn't done it since before her accident. He had a little glimmer of hope that she might actually get her memories back. He dropped his bag to hold her up, "I told you I'd be back. I'm sorry for waking you up I know it's late."

She slowly placed her feet back on the floor, "It's fine I just wish I would have known." She tried to fix her hair and tug on her wrinkly pajamas, "I would have fixed myself up."

He brushed her hair out of her face, "You look fine to me."

She tried not to turn beat red as he said that she managed just a light pink. "H-How was your m-mission?"

"Too long but it was a success. I'm just really tired I'm going to take a shower than go to bed." He noticed she was looking at him kind of funny. "Is everything alright? Are you ok?"

"Y-Yes…..I-I'm just really h-happy your home."

He picked up his bag and put his arm around Hinata's shoulder, "Good me too."

While Sasuke was taking a shower Hinata quickly ran a hair brush through her hair. She took a deep breath grateful Sasuke had come home safe. Sasuke emerged from the bath room in his lack pajama pants and drying his hair with a towel. Hinata immediately saw the huge scratch on his chest. "Sasuke what happened?"

"Oh yeah I was in a fight don't worry he only go this scratch on me."

Hinata ran over and placed her fingertips gently on his scratch, "You promised not a scratch."

He tossed his towel into the bin, "I'm sorry I put some cream on it so it should be gone soon. I came home in one piece only one little scratch."

"I guess you're right……are you going to go to bed?"

"That was the plan…why?"

She followed him to their bed, "I was just hoping now that you were back….you could tell me what happens next in our story."

He laid back on the bed, "Ok where were we? Oh yeah we had just kissed."

~Flashback~

Sasuke stood in front of his mirror fixing the collar of his black polo shirt when Shikamaru and Naruto came in. Naruto asked, "Ready to go the party started over an hour and a half ago."

Sasuke was making sure his hair was just the way he liked it, "Chill it's a new year's party, midnight is still an hour away. And that's when the party really starts."

"Yeah, Yeah I know. But just hurry up I'm sure Hinata doesn't care what you look like."

Shikamaru shrugged, "Maybe she does, maybe that's why she keeps turning him down."

Sasuke turned around, "Shut up besides she won't turn me down for much longer."

"That's what you said two months ago."

"And again shut up! I'm ready let's go."

Once they got to the Hyuga's home where the party was being held, Sasuke went around saying his hello while looking for Hinata. He found her the outside porch alone, "Don't you know there is a party inside?"

She turned around and smiled at him, "It's Neji's party I just helped get father out of the house. I don't really get the big deal with New Years it's over in one second."

"It has its moments like have you decided who you're going to kiss at midnight?"

"Yeah I'm going to kiss Kakashi. Always wondered what was under that mask." Hinata tried to stay serious but soon started laughing when she saw the look on Sasuke's face. "Kidding I'm just kidding. You look nice tonight."

Sasuke shook his head and took a sip of the beer he had gotten from inside. "Thanks…..so do you. Did the girls do this to you?"

Hinata ran her hand through her hair, "No I did it myself I'm learning to make myself pretty."

"I've always thought you were pretty."He smirked he saw her blush, "I knew you liked me and I know you want to kiss me again."

She took his beer and took a sip, "I didn't kiss you, you kissed me remember."

"Yeah ok when are you going to admit you're in love with me?"

She just rolled her eyes, "Y-Yeah o-ok are you going to stay out here with me?"

"Where else would I go?"

~End Flashback~

Sasuke yawned leaving Hinata in suspense."What that's it?!"

He shook his head, "No I just need a minute to think if I want to finish this story. You're probably going to freak out."

She tugged on his arm, "Please tell me I promise I won't freak out."

"Fine so we were talking on the porch drinking and talking. Midnight came and we could hear people counting down. When it was officially new years you actually kissed me this time."

"I did….well that wasn't so bad."

"That was just the beginning……we kissed….and kissed….until you asked me if I wanted to go to your room."

Hinata gasped and covered her mouth with both hands, "We didn't!"

He wasn't sure if you should tell her but he nodded, "We did that was our first time."

"Was I…drunk?"

"No you only had a couple of sips…..I was a little bit."

"I took advantage of you!"

He started laughing, "Yeah like you could I wanted too."

Hinata sat there on their bed next to Sasuke still wondering what made her change and have sex with Sasuke. "I-I'm in shock. Did we start dating after that?"

He shook his head, "No I asked you if we were together and you said no. It was so frustrating."."

"I know the feeling."

He looked up and saw the saddened look on her face. "Why are you so sad?"

"I appreciate you taking the time to tell me all these stories and I want to hear more of them. It's just that you're telling me from your point of view so I don't really know how I feel."

"You could if I could find your diary."

Hinata remembered having a diary before, "I still kept my diary."

"Yeah but you hide it so well even I can't find it. I even tried using my sharingan and still nothing." Sasuke yawned and stretched again. "Do you mind if I go to sleep now? I told Tsunade I will be on vacation so I won't be sent on anymore missions for awhile. So I won't be going anywhere unless it's an emergency."

"Oh yeah….go to sleep. Sorry to keep you up."Hinata laid down next to him her mind was on a million different things, like was sex with Sasuke good their first time, where her diary was, if it would hold the answers she was looking for, but there was still one thing that kept coming up in her mind. "Sasuke?"

He had his eyes closed, "Yeah?"

She took a deep breath before leaning in and pressing her lips against his. His eyes immediately shot open he hadn't kissed since he hadn't Hinata in months. The feeling of their lips moving together brought so many memories back to him. He wondered if it was doing the same for her. Their kiss was slow and sweet she was the one to pull away. She smiled before going back to her side of the bed, "G-Good night Sasuke-kun."

He couldn't hide the little smile on his face, "Good night."
