Around the month of December, after class, Sakura went to find Hinata to talk to her about something. She found Hinata at her locker listening to music while repeating the words that were being sung as Sakura hugged Hinata from behind. Surprising the teen with lavender white eyes.

"Hey, Hinata. I've been looking all over for you," Sakura said kissing her girlfriend on the cheek.

"You've been looking all over for me. Why?" Hinata halfly repeated with a question behind it.

"Because I want to ask you something. Something I've been wanting to ask you."

"What is it, Saku-chan? What is it?"

"Well, I was wondering." Sakura turned Hinata around before continuing. "I was wondering if you, Hinata Hyuuga, would like to go to the Konaha Dance with you that's on December 27th."

Hinata didn't reply with word just yet. But gave Sakura a big, long kiss. Afterwards, Hinata hugged the pinkette teen with a smile on her face.

"I'll take that as a 'yes', right?" Sakura giggled.

"Right. Right!" Hinata smiled as the two walked out of the school, "That's when my Birthday is!"

"Yep. And that's what makes it even better," Sakura said running her fingers through Hinata's long brunette hair.

"But-But how am I going to have a Birthday party when you-you asked me to go to the Konaha Dance that's on the Twenty-seventh?" Hinata wondered.

"I already have that figure out. How do you have if figured out?"

"Well, I can't tell you. You're gonna have to find out on the twenty-seventh in a few weeks."

"Aww, but I wanna know now," Hinata whined as Sakura lightly chuckled and lightly kissed her girlfriend on the forehead.

"Sorry, but those are the rules."

Hinata let out another whine of disappointment before asking, "Can we go and get some ramen?"

"Okay." Sakura held Hinata's hand as the two women walked to the ramen shop.

There, they saw Naruto, as usual, eating bowls of ramen without noticing Hinata or Sakura sitting beside the blonde teen until he heard Hinata say 'hi' to him.

"Hm? Oh, hey, Hinata. What's up?" Naruto asked with a mouth full of noodles.

"Nothing much. Nothing much, N-Naruto-kun," Hinata said making eye contact with him.

"You're getting ready for the Konaha Dance on the Twenty-seventh. I know I am!"

"I know I am!" Hinata repeated.

"That's what you said when you fought Sasuke and fell flat on your face after accedentally kissing him," Sakura replied.

"Shut-up! You know that wasn't my fault!" Naruto exclaimed as Sakura saw her order of ramen in front of her, along with Hinata's, "Anyway, Sakura, did you as you know who to the you know what?"

"Hinata's right here, Naruto. And yes, I did ask her to the Konaha Dance coming up in two weeks," Sakura implied.

"Oh. Okay. You expected to be goin' with the person you care about?"

"What you think, Dunderhead?"

Hinata laughed. "Dunderhead, Dunderhead."

"Don't you start, Hinata!" Naruto said as Hinata stuck her tongue out at him who ate his ramen.

"So, I'm just wondering. What will happen if Hinata's father ever found out you guys-"

"NO!" Hinata yelled surprising Naruto and the people in the ramen shop.

"Was it something I said?"

"Hinata's been trying not to think about what would happen if her father ever found out about us. He might try and seperate us like he did when he found out about what happened to Hinata's mother and when Kurenai saw that Hinata's father was abusing her," Sakura explained seeing Hinata rocking back and fourth muttering something.

"Sorry, Hinata. I didn't mean to say that stuff," Naruto said about to give Hinata a hug when she let out a loud whine and squirmed out of Naruto's arms. Running away from the ramen shop with her hands covering her ears and eyes closed.

"Hinata, wait! Come back!" Sakura yelled chasing after Hinata.

"Hey, wait for me!" Naruto said as they saw Hinata running down an alley way.

Tears were running down Hinata's face who was repeated, "No, no, no. No more pain, no more pain." With her eyes still closed and hands covering her ears who was only running on instinct until she bumped into something. Making her fall on her back, Hinata uncovered her ears and opened her teary eyes meeting face to face with Sasuke.

"S-Sasuke," She muttered looking at the ground.

"Yes. It's me: Sasuke Uchiha. And I'm here for revenge," Sasuke said grabbing Hinata by the collar and lifting her up.

"G-Get away from me. Get away from me! I've done nothing to you!" Hinata yelled.

"Oh, yes, you have. Because of you, Sakura hates me. I thought I could get a chance to win her heart again, but now, I can't do that because you took Sakura away from me," Sasuke said tightening his grip on Hinata's collar.

Hinata could feel her breath decreasing as she began to struggling even more in Sasuke's grip around her throat.

"S-Sakura's not yours anymore," Hinata uttered softly.

"What did you say, you little retard?" Sasuke growled threateningly.

"Sakura's not yours. Not-Not anymore. You kept hurting her and beating her. You called her names because it made you feel better about yourself. You-You never really loved her, loved her. You just ke-kept her around like-like a little dog," Hinata said as Sasuke let go of her and punched her in the face. Sending her hitting against the wall and landing on the ground with a bloody nose.

Sasuke began to slowly approach her. Placing his foot on Hinata's chest.

"Listen, you little pest. The reason Sakura loves you is because she feels sorry for you. You're nothing but a social outcast because you're one of them. A disabled mental case who deserves to be put in a mental institution for people who are mentally damaged like you. You don't even know the first thing about love. You don't even know the word. People like you don't care about anyone but yourselves. So, what makes you think you love Sakura, huh?"

Sasuke pressed his foot tighter on Hinata's chest as Hinata's coughed up blood.

The Hyuuga said nothing until Sasuke heard her say, "......Because.....Because Saku-chan is the first person to acknowledge me for me. Not for being autistic. Not for being autistic. She-She doesn't care if I'm different. She looked pasted my-my disability and saw the real me. Unlike you, Sasuke."

"Shut-up," Sasuke told her.

"Saku-chan loved me more than you because of my k-kind personality."

"I said shut-up!" Sasuke yelled raising his foot to kick Hinata in the face until he heard someone yell....

"Hey!" Making the dark-eyed teen turn around and see Naruto and Sakura.

"Stay away from Hinata!" Sakura exclaimed.

"S-Sakura!" Hinata happily yelled who was able to stand up and run to where Sakura was with her head buried against the lime-eyed teens shoulder.

Sakura hugged Hinata and gently kissed her on the forehead softly saying, "It's okay. Don't worry. I'm right here. Everything's okay now. Everything's okay."

"You! What the hell is wrong with you, Sasuke!? She's your friend!" Naruto angrily said.

"A friend? She's not a friend. This 'tard stole the only girl I loved! She doesn't even know a thing about true love," Sasuke said, "How can you fall in love with a person like Hinata, Sakura? I can give you more than what she's giving you now!"

"Sasuke. The reason I left you is because of your lack of respect you began giving me when you abused me for so long," Sakura told the raven-haired boy as Sakura still held Hinata.

"But I've changed now. I really have, Sakura."

Sakura looked into Sasuke's dark eyes and shook her head. "I don't believe you."

"What?"

"I don't believe you. Your voice is saying one thing while your eyes are telling another."

"Yeah. I have to agree with you on their, Sakura," Naruto said walking up to Sasuke, grabbing him by the collar, and hitting his back against a brick wall, "What do you want me to do with him since you're busy with Hinata over there?"

Sakura still held Hinata in her arms while thinking of what Naruto said. Half of her wanted to say, 'Kick his ass, Naruto.' but the other half doesn't want to and leave Sasuke in the alley.

She finally had a chance to take her anger out on Sasuke after what he did to her. And for some reason, she's not happy about it. She even had someone here to beat Sasuke up for her, too. But she's not happy about it either!

'And this sucks!' The pinkette mentally thought as she continued to think of her decision until she said, "Naruto......." Making the blonde teen look over his shoulder meeting his friends eyes. "Put Sasuke down."

"But Sakura, he beat up Hinata," Naruto said.

"I know. But if I asked you to beat Sasuke up, then that would lower myself to his level," Sakura said looking at Hinata, "And I wouldn't do that in front of the one I love."

Naruto understood what Sakura was saying as Sasuke felt Naruto loosen his hands on his collar.

"Yeah. I guess you're right. Sorry 'bout that, Sakura," Naruto said hearing Sasuke sigh in relief. Then, the blonde teen smirked. "But on the other hand, for me, it's different." He picked Sasuke up by the collar again and threw him in a nearby trash can.

"Naruto," Sakura lightly laughed at what Naruto did helping Hinata up.

"What? You said you didn't want me to beat the crap out of Sasuke-teme for you, so I did it myself," Naruto said walking to where his two friends were, "Sorry about what I said, Hinata. Is there anything I can do to make it up to you? You know. From earlier."

".....Pizza. Pizza," Hinata muttered fiddling with a strand of her hair.

"Huh?"

"She's saying she wants you to buy her pizza," Sakura told Naruto.

"Oh. Okay, I can do that," Naruto chuckled with a hand behind his head, "Are we still friends, though, Hinata?"

"We're still friends. We're still friends," Hinata said hugging Naruto who hugged her back, "But I still want pizza."

Naruto lightly laughed. "Don't worry. You'll get your pizza. Just as soon as we get out of this dreary place."

"But before we go and do that, I need to go back to the ramen shop. I forgot a few things there," Sakura said as the three of them walked back to the ramen shop and out of the alley way.
