-Last chapter. I think the ending sucks. Be warned that there is no sex scene so please don't get too disappointed and read on till the end. I have set up a Deviantart account and wish to post some fan art for this fanfiction and others. If you have any scenes you wish for me to draw I'd be happy to. Even if you'd send me a base to use, that would be fine as well. They'll be sketched and colored with colored pencil so don't look forward to Photoshop. I've already decided on the bench scene. I hope you enjoy this chapter and I look forward to sending you my next work! Thank you for reading with me till the end and please comment! I love all comments from you good or bad, so thank you! And I plan to reply to each comment received.-
"Kiss me again." He commanded and she leaned towards his lips, he smiled down at her after accepting her kiss.
Hinata's face naturally heated and she wondered blankly whether this was a sign of feeling or this was just some sparks left in her soul that still had yet to whither out and die along with her chances of marriage.
"What's wrong?" He asked. She had not cared to hear this, in fact the part of her that was still beating inside her soully for him screamed out and pleaded against it, hoping that those dreadful words would never make their debut, but now they came out and burned her.
She stuttered, forming her words sloppily, "I-I... W-well. I..." Suddenly an excuse came, so convincing that she almost believed it herself, "I don't want you to leave me. I-I couldn't... take it i-if you left me her b-by myself."
Sasuke frowned, pulling her closer to him. She leaned towards him, resting her face against his chest. He stroked his fingers through her hair and she whimpered.
"Silly girl. You'd come with me. Jugo and Suigetsu can protect you when I'm training and fulfilling my goals." Sasuke smiled slightly, resting his chin on the top of her head. Hinata was wary now. She didn't want to part with him, but she didn't want to go with him. To have him watch the soul that once thrived inside her die out, withering as the burning flame of a candle under the effects of an uneven paced wind, flickering violently till the end.
"Th-Thank you." Hinata mumbled. She knew Sasuke could barely hear her and she wanted it that way.
Hinata began to recall a time when she felt that the pieces of her soul were still bound together. She remembered how Sasuke's face lit up at the sight of the bento and how much pity they had been filled with later that night. Hinata wanted Sasuke to pull her soul together with the three words that had provoked Kiba's act. The three words that she had only dreamt about in her youth and up until that night when Kiba had first told her those words after leaving the prison where She and Sasuke had shared the picnic together.
Now Hinata was curled into the lap of her protector, expecting those three words but never receiving them. She smiled to herself, her world was her own right now and filled with the delightful Sasuke Uchiha. She longed to control this world and bend the words from her protector's lips.
Sasuke closed his eyes and she didn't dare to open hers. He was going to wait till she fell asleep in his arms and then carry her off to bed. He wouldn't leave her, just kiss her palms as her face contorted with emotion as she collided with the dreams that she couldn't remember. She would open her eyes after some time, blankly gazing at Sasuke's napping face. As soon as she would blink he would be awake as if he sensed her presence shifting.
She was broken. An object that someone had lifted off the curb due to pity. She was a miserable wreck who didn't deserve his kindness, laterally she wasn't going to let him ravage her. She didn't want the memory of Kiba to be wiped away. She hated Kiba but loved him too much to part with him. She knew that Sasuke would never advance on her, he had promised her that.
Sighing, she slid off of his lap realizing her sin. She had dangled herself in front of him. Sat on him as if she were ready to love him physically. He reacted by reaching out to her, grasping her arm just as she plopped unto the floor.
"I'm... sorry" She said helplessly as Sasuke gave her another concerned look.
"Tell me." His voice was dominating, "What gave you the right to leave me alone? I already said that I wouldn't leave you." She looked into his pleading eyes and let herself be pulled back unto his lap, confused by his words. Now, she thought, he was trying to mend me, seeing that the pieces of my soul were spread so far apart.
"I-I won't leave you." She stuttered, his arms wrapping around her waist.
He kissed the the back of her neck and she whined helplessly,
"Sasu-sasuke," This time a line of kisses went from the back of her neck to her shoulder blade. She squeaked as a mouse would.
Her lips trembled, "Sa-Sa... Sasu-" another line of kisses.
"Stop." She finally protested. The kisses stopped as she had commanded and the atmosphere became heavy.
She could tell he was annoyed. His grip became softer and then soon he wasn't gripping dropped his arms down to the side of the chair.
She couldn't turn to look at him so she just spoke, "I-I," She tried harder, "I-I- I'm no-not ready to ha-have s-se-sex!"
There was a long uncomfortable silence which left Hinata's cheeks inflamed. Then, after another long moment there came a chuckle. One single chuckle.
She didn't want to turn around to apologize for appearing as if she was attempting to seduce him. But then there came another laugh, something louder than a chuckle. The laugh multiplied into many laughs, causing her to shrink away from him with embarrassment.
The grip around her waist came back, shoving her around on his lap, and soon he was standing with her in his arms, carrying her as if she were a princess. She closed her eyes, growing to fear him.
Soon, she was falling. And then, her back was against the soft sheets of the bed. She cried out as she saw Sasuke's shirt falling to the floor.
He was smiling and he crawled unto the bed. She raised her arms to protest against him, but his lips met her hands. He whispered lustfully to her,
"Hinata Hyuuga, I want to caress you." Hinata gasped as he grasped her hand, sliding one of her dainty fingers into his mouth. She whimpered.
His eyes were determined.
"I-I'm not ready!" She pathetically inched away from him.
"I want you." Sasuke said, leaning over her, "Please don't make me wait to much longer."
Hinata's eyes flashed with guiltiness and she pulled away completely, avoiding his eyes.
He reached out, grasping her chin and forcing her to look into his eyes, "Don't you dare give up on me. You dare to think your lost. You think that you are alone." She gasped out as his eyes pierced her,
"Do you think that my reason for revenge didn't leave me as blank as you? Do you think that the only reason I treat you this way is because of sympathy or a whim?" He looked away, swearing under his breath before focusing his gaze upon her once more.
He crawled closer and she couldn't even manage to lift her arm to protest against his touch. He opened his mouth and she didn't know if he was attempting to kiss her or simply forming his words.
He continued to speak, providing an answer, "Hinata, my entire family was slaughtered by my elder brother." He cringed, "I came home late from school to find my mother and father's slain corpses. My brother spared me on a 'whim' and killed all of my clan on that same 'whim'. Don't think that I chose you on the same whim he used."
Her soul began to slide together. She wondered how she could ever love and fear him so much at the same time. She spoke, her voice trembling as mush a she was,
"I love you." She rethought her words, "But, not because of a whim."
Sasuke smiled at her, easing down so that he was laying on top of her, his head on her chest.
She closed her eyes, wrapping her arms around his neck. He sighed.
"I love you so much. I-I just didn't understand." Hinata said, her face turning a tomato red.
Sasuke shifted slightly, "Hinata. I can't say that I love you." her heart sank, "I always had loved my... brother, but then, my heart was broken. What I feel for you cannot be broken I could never hate you no matter what you do."
"Sasu-" he cut her off,
"You're like a gentle flower. A camellia. It is only natural to want to embrace you."
"I lo-love you, Sasuke."
"I want to embrace you, Hinata." The emptiness inside her withered. She didn't have to struggle to live as he had to all those years before. She had him to guild her and soon, she knew, she was going to embrace him and take away his worry and pain.
"I really do love you, Sasuke-Kun."
"I know, my Hinata-Chan."
She was empty and complete at the same time. she didn't understand such an immense feeling, but Sasuke didn't seemed concerned. She smiled, a single tear streamed down her face as she wished Kiba goodbye and accepted her lover's touch.
-Hello again and for some of us this is goodbye. I have a feeling Sasuke became too much of a passionate lover and fear that may influence the whole story's image. I hope you enjoyed the arrangement of personality and plot and wish you all the happiest of times and that you wait just a little while longer for the start of the next series. Again I ask for your wonderful comments and that you all bare with me, but this time with the art. Thank you so much for being so supportive and farewell till next you read! Thank you for being such wonderful readers~!-
