And was thrown across the room for all her troubles.
Sasuke was on her in a flash, hand in a death grip on her neck, squeezing out her breath.
She was choking, running out of air, clawing futilely at his manic hold on her throat, staring into Sasuke's crazed eyes that were swirling with all of his madness as he bore down on her.
'Sasu-'
All of a sudden he released her and was gone.
He disappeared for days.
Hinata spent the first few trying to figure out how he entered and exited the network of caves, feeling carefully along the entire expanse of her prison and incidentally discovering the portion Sasuke had pressed for the washroom.
Besides that one discovery she was stumped.
Aware of the folly of starving herself, Hinata rationed the last subsistence he had left on the counter , unsure when and if Sasuke would be returning.
Her heart jumped into her throat when one night she turned in the bed to find him crouched next to her, staring at a point on her neck with a troubled frown.
She stayed as still as possible for as long as she could, staring back at him, body tight in fear, acutely aware of how vulnerable she was.
Slowly, Sasuke's eyes ventured up to her face and something in them ...softened.
He raised a hand painstakingly slowly, in an obvious effort not to startle her and the peculiarly discordant sweet and sugary smell of Dango wafted into Hinata's nose.
She stared in disbelief at the package in Sasuke's hand and looked back at his face in bewilderment.
He was glaring at the ground now, jaw spasmodically clenching and unclenching.
She continued to gawk at the apparent peace-offering until she heard the distinct sound of grinding teeth.
Not wanting to agitate him further , Hinata hurriedly reached out for the proffered bundle and took it.
Sasuke let go of the sweets as if they had burned him and without another look, stood up and left.
