"I can't see" she whispered.

Sasuke stared at her shocked; there was no way she could've been blind in fact why would she be blind? He made sure to protect her in the explosion! No NO! This was not real Hinata was not blind he couldn't believe it!

"W-why?" his voice cracked he didn't want to believe this, Hinata didn't deserve this. She was the victim here he would rather that it happened to him than her!

"I don't know" Hinata lowered her voice and looked away ashamed by her situation, this reaction immediately made Sasuke move closer sitting on her bed. His hand rested lightly on her chin turning her head to him, he stared at her crystal eyes.

"Please don't look away has the doctor said anything? Maybe it's treatable?" he lowered his face to her cheek giving it a soft kiss to calm her down. Hinata sighed softly.

"He tried to say something but I didn't want to hear it… i-it's j-ust too… much for… me" her voice cracked at the end as her eyes sparkled with fresh tears, she wished she could see Sasuke right now she knew he held her but touching him wasn't enough for her now. She wanted more; she wanted to drink his sight after all she went through.

But little did she know Sasuke had his own tears as his large hands went around her waist dragging her to his lap hugging her tightly, he could feel her face buried in the side of his neck. Tears met his skin as his own fell quietly; she truly didn't deserve this…

He did.

Hinata fell asleep after her long sobs and Sasuke held her close he didn't wish to lose his hold afraid she'll go away. He moved in the bed and slowly laid his back on the thin mattress with Hinata lying on his chest, he tucked one of arms behind his head and the other around her waist to keep a hold of her. As he stared at the ceiling his emotions were muddled he didn't know what to do except only to see what happens next.

Suddenly his eyes flickered to the door as he saw it creak open revealing yet another doctor in a lab coat, his smile revealed the wrinkles from years of hard work but Sasuke kept a passive face. "Hello you must be the husband Mr. Uchiha, I'm doctor Yamada" his tone held a soft edge as if soothing a child.

The name seemed familiar to Sasuke where did he hear it? Suddenly it clicked that was Hisae's last name, he must be a relative or something but for some reason he felt a bit better knowing that Hinata had been in good hands.

"You must be worried about your wife's blindness" Doctor Yamada still used his soft tone, he could practically see the tension rolling off Sasuke he just wanted him to relax a little.

With a small nod Sasuke shifted a little holding Hinata closer without disturbing her, "Is there a treatment for her blindness?" he asked not wanting to wait any longer.

"Don't worry it's definitely treatable but unfortunately the specialist that would be taking care of her is not available this week she'll be coming next week from her leave" his chocolate eyes held sadness at the misfortune of Hinata but she was taking it so strongly for the past couple of days.

Sasuke snapped his head in alarm and frowned "Bring her in early then"

"I'm really sorry I can't just tell her to come back, she has a life you know"

His frown deepened and glared at the doctor in front of him "I don't care bring her in, I can't bear looking at her like this! She doesn't deserve this any longer!" Sasuke's voice rose in anger and hate for himself, he let this happen and he won't let her suffer any longer.

The loud noises startled Hinata as she blinked her eyes open only to fall in the same darkness, the thought of not able to see forever scared her. She hated the idea of not being able to see Sasuke or Neji or all her loved ones, she wants to still share wonderful memories with them not blindly but still remember their faces in the moment.

It's true that she didn't express her actual emotions before but now when she heard Sasuke's voice reality came crashing down releasing her tears, it was too much for her. Her heart wanted to see his face and after that dilemma her father put her through all her thoughts were connected to Sasuke in her frozen state, she remembered how she wished that Sasuke was beside her, hugging her, warming her numb body.

Now she's just scared.

"I'm sorry Mr. Uchiha you must wait till next week" the new voice surprised her as she squirmed a little moving her head to see behind her, what a cruel impulse. She keeps forgetting her eyes couldn't see anymore.

Sasuke didn't notice her awake until she moved her body against his and saw her head turned away from him, he wondered what's wrong but suddenly her head turned back quickly making her hair whirl around her. Her unseeing eyes stared right at Sasuke's as if though they read everything he felt.

The emotion rollercoaster came to a stop as Hinata numbly rested her head back on his chest; it's no use tiring her head trying to look at every dark space. It'll just hurt more.

Sasuke sadly wrapped his hands around her tightly and glared at the doctor as if he has just seen proof why he needed that specialist as soon as possible, doctor Yamada looked regretfully at the small nimble body that was protected by her husband's arms. Slowly he turned back he needed to make a few calls if he wanted this poor girl recovering soon.

As he walked outside of the room he remembered how surprising yesterday was as his daughter Hisae busted the door open with her boyfriend on tow and immediately after saying a quick hi to him she cooed Hinata and fussed over her which got him to smile seeing his daughter, but what warmed his heart even more was seeing the smile on his patient's face. The smile was beautiful but he could see the sadness behind it, however emotions won't help her she needed the medical help now.

Back in the room Sasuke held Hinata tighter "Hey are you okay?" he whispered in her ear, and as a response he felt a stiff nod from her that made him frown. 'Please, please Hinata stay strong just for a while' his thoughts were scarce as he continued to rock her until she felt asleep again.
