Proverbs 3: 27
Do not withhold good from those to whom it is due, when it is in your power to act
His head hurt like hell
His eyelids felt heavy as he tried to force them open
What happened?
His eyes finally adjusted to a dimly lit ceiling
that was not his own
Immediately, Sasuke sat up, alarmed
his head spinning consequently
He was propped up by multiple pillows on a bed
His cloak and weapons had been removed
He was not restrained
He could make out a small dresser on his side
What in the world?
He activated his Sharingan as soon as the door opened earning him a sharp pain through his temple
"U-Uchiha-san you're awake?!" a female voice squeaked
From what he could make out, she was small ...enough to take her out if needed
That is if he could move his sore limbs
"where... am I?" he asked, his voice hoarse
"Y-You passed out in the cemetery, so I brought you to Tenten-Chan's apartment...she lives close by" was he supposed to recognize that name or this woman?
A foggy image of him with a shovel pushed its way through his mind
How much had he had to drink ...? did he take the entire bag of mushrooms?
He watched her intently as she crossed the room and carefully opened the blinds
The sunlight blinded him, but it slowly revealed her features
Her long midnight hair moved each time she squirmed under his gaze
Her pale eyes, distinctly Hyuga, watched him warily
"I-I could get Sakura-chan or Naruto-Kun"
Something about her was familiar, but his mind couldn't be bothered at the moment
"don't" he forced out... feeling bile rise up in the back of his throat
She nodded slowly, leaving the room
And then returned with a tray she set by him
"this is just some soup and liquid... you're dehydrated," she said simply
He eyed the contents of the trays, and his stomach leaped at the sight of food
years of training prevented him from making a move
"ano it's not...poisoned" she whispered in response to his reluctance
If she wanted to harm him...she would have done so already
after a pregnant pause
against his better judgment
he found himself reaching for the cup of water
greedily gulping it
His eyes flickered to her pale ones as he attempted to direct a spoonful of soup into his mouth
his body was betraying him, and she was here to witness it all
Ignoring the way her eyes softened as his hand trembled slightly on its trajectory
He couldn't help but wonder, how the hell did this petite woman drag him here?
why hadn't she left him to die in the ditch?
And why was a small part of him relieved to be alive?
AN : I am back! sorry for the long wait XD
