i'm having a new fanfic coming out!
The red light went off and a tired looking Tsunade stepped out of the room. The Hyuugas rushed towards the woman. Before they could attack her with questions, Tsunade help up her hand, silencing the family.
"I know what you are thinking. How can she have an attack even though she had gone through surgery? No one said that the surgery will stop the heart attacks. The surgery will only help prevent them, but there are chances that it will happen. Luckily, she had an operation. If she didn't, Hinata might have died today. The attack wasn't that serious, so don't worry. If you will follow me, I will give you a more efficient medication for Hinata," Tsunade explained.
"Wait! Can we go see her now?" Mikoto quickly asked, receiving a nod from Tsunade as a reply.
Hizashi followed Tsunade to get the medication, whereas Sasuke, Itachi, Mikoto, Neji, and Hanabi went into Hinata's room.
Mikoto was the first one who went by Hinata's side. Hinata was fully awake, however looked pale and a little fatigued.
Softly, Hinata greeted them with a "hello". Hanabi rushed to Hinata and hugged her tightly.
"Don't ever scare me like that!" she cried.
"Okay, okay, I won't," Hinata softly reassured and patted the little Hyuuga's head.
Mikoto was next and she caressed Hinata's hair and gave a small, calm smile.
"I'm glad you're alright." The fatigued Hyuuga let a small smile on her lips in reply.
-Ring, ring, ring-
Sasuke frantically took out his cell, noting that he got a text message.
"Excuse me," he coldly said and left the room.
The young Uchiha was in a secluded alley.
"You wanted to see me?" Saying, with a hint of coldness.
In the dark, came out the one and only, Orochimaru.
"Sasuke, I see you've grown for the past year. How is your father's business going?" the man hissed.
"Hn, it's going great. Even though you tried to ruin it," he coldly replied.
"Whatever."
"Che, what do you want?"
"Sasuke, you know me right? You know I have my ways of making people suffer."
"So?"
"Well, I want you to stay from the Hyuuga girl."
"And what makes you think I would do that? I don't take orders," Sasuke spat venomously.
"Because if you don't, the next time I see that girl, there's a possibility she will die," the snake-man replied and had a wicked grin plastered on his face.
"Hn, there's also a possibility she'll be protected."
"Stay away from her and stop helping her. It's fun to see her and her family suffer. I don't want to see you interfere in my amusement. Pretty soon, if you don't stay away, she might be gone."
"Pfft, I don't even need to be hearing this. I'll be leaving now." The Uchiha turned his back on the other man and walked away.
"Sasuke, remember my words," Orochimaru slyly said which made Sasuke stop for awhile before continuing to walk.
"Che, try me old man. You will not and can not kill her."
(One month later)
Fresh white snow poured down gently, covering the roads with snow. Soon, it would be someone's birthday. Hinata's birthday, to be exact.
She stared out the window, admiring the frosty scenery. Hinata decided to take a break from her homework and grabbed her coat. She sped down the stairs and entered the winter wonderland taking place outside.
The snowflakes that brushed against her face and fingers made her skin tingle. She closed her eyes to embrace the chilly, yet addicting feeling of snow.
A slight tap on the shoulder broke her peaceful moment.
"Oh, Sasuke."
"You like snow?" the boy questioned. She nodded.
"I've always loved my birthday because it would snow around that time," she explained.
"Ah, your birthday. Luckily I remembered."
Hinata was confused slightly. Sasuke Uchiha remembered her birthday.
"Turn around."
Still being clueless, she obediently, yet slowly turned around. When she saw that specific item Sasuke wanted her to see, her face lit up.
Hinata left her mouth in a gaping form, which slowly formed into a genuine smile.
"Thank you!" With that said she ran towards her surprise.
It was a simple bike that was light lavender. The wheels were black and there was a basket in the front of the handles. Simple, just the way she liked it.
After examining her new bike she stood up straight and turned to look at Sasuke.
"Since you bought me this bike, you can be the first to ride it!" The cheery girl spoke.
"Uh, no thanks," he simply replied.
"Come on, I insist."
"Uh… to tell you the truth… I… don't… know how to… ride a bike," he answered truthfully.
Hinata gasped over dramatically, and then giggled after.
"It's alright. I'll teach you."
Hinata dragged her bike to the nearest park with Sasuke behind her.
They spent hours at the park together. One learning and one teaching how to ride a bike. Sasuke fell many times while Hinata held onto the back of the bike pushing it to help Sasuke keep his balance.
Finally, Sasuke improved quite a lot and the two are now resting on the cold snow, but the two did not mind.
"So how old are you turning?" Sasuke broke the silence.
"I'm turning 17."
The few later moments were filled with silence. Finally, the Uchiha was brave enough to stand up first.
"Come on, let's go home." He started to walk towards the bike. Hinata reluctantly stood up and followed him. She was surprised to see that Sasuke was sitting on the bike.
He pointed his thumb behind him, "Get on."
The indigo-haired girl obeyed, as always and sat behind him. She sat obediently behind him but held onto the side of the seat. Hinata stiffened being so close to this boy. Sasuke's legs started to work into a circular motion, pedaling the bike. Before you know it, the bike was moving through the falling snow. Second by second, he pedaled faster. In which made a strong refreshing gush of wind blow by. This caused Hinata to relax a bit. Automatically, her arms wrapped around Sasuke's waist.
Of course, Sasuke noticed her actions. However, he just left it alone. At first, he kind of liked the feeling, the warmth of her body against his back.
"Pretty soon, if you don't stay away, she might be gone."
Hesitantly, with one hand on the handle bars, he used his free hand to pull Hinata's hand away. Hinata noticed what he was doing and let go of him. She continued to hold onto the sides of her seat, thinking about what ever had possessed her to do such a thing.
"What were you doing? Stupid Hinata! Why would you do that, especially to Sasuke Uchiha!"
Ten minutes passed. Ten long silent minutes had passed and they were in front of the house.
Hinat go off, and then Sasuke did too. The cold boy didn't seem to care much for the bike so he just walked away, making Hinata quickly grasping the handle bars, preventing the bike from falling.
"Why is he acting like this?" she thought.
Hinat shook her head and pulled the bike along with her towards the front porch. While she was turning, Hinata didn't realize that Uchiha Sasuke had stopped walking and was turned around. They both were surprised at what was happening.
Hinata dropped the bike to the side. Her hands felt lifeless. Hinata's chest was beating. Why? What happened?
Sasuke's and Hinata's lips were brushed against each other. It was not a passionate kiss, more of lifeless. It remained innocent, only lips were touching, and nothing more. A chaste kiss you would say.
Hinata, regaining life in her body, turned around immediately. Of course, knowing it was Hinata, she blushed. Reluctantly, she bent down, picked the bike by the handle bars, and dragged the bike to the porch. Before entering the quiet house, she turned her head, catching one last glance at Sasuke. Unfortunately, his head was turned so she only took in the back of his head. Sighing, she finally entered the house. Back against the wall, Hinata lifted up her fingers and caressed it at her lips.
Sasuke was still outside. His eyes were glued to his feet. To an outsider, it would look like he was just outside, looking at the snow fallen ground. However, he was really thinking about what had just happened to him and what happened between him and Orochimaru that time.
Angrily, he ran to his front lawn and grabbed a handful of snow. He threw it out on the street, trying to cool off his anger and confusion. As he threw he let out a thunderous scream. Sasuke kicked the snow and fell down. He was panting.
"Orochimaru, you snake…"
