OK! I've been doing a bit more reading then writing lately, so sorry... Here's Chappie 8!
Chapter 8
Hinata was laying on Sasuke's bed and crying. Sasuke had left 4 months ago. The search team hasn't found any track of him. He was probably dead. Even if he wasn't this was only his first mission since they got married; he was sure to have many more. Hinata didn't know how she'd deal with it.
They only had a few days together before he left, as well... She wanted to be with him. The more she tried not to think about him the more she missed him, the more she wanted to be with him... the more she strained to forget she'd only remember more. The way he told her he loved her... the way he kissed her... She needed all that again. She hadn't moved from the manor lately. She stayed in all day, eating, sleeping, and crying. She didn't want to move anymore.
Sasuke and Naruto, meanwhile, had found the lost village of words. They took whatever they could find, marked the location on the map, and went back to the hidden leaf.
The way back only took them two days.
The arrived around 2 AM. Naruto headed to his apartment, and Sasuke headed off to the manor. He couldn't wait to be there. He just hoped Hinata was still waiting for him... He missed out the entire summer. It was now fall, and it was indeed beginning to get chilly.
He was on the roof of his house already. He sat there, searching for a star that he could wish on. He wanted to wish Hinata was waiting.
But no star was there to wish on, and Sasuke's nerves were breaking. He sighed, and went inside.
He found Hinata sleeping in his bed, and couldn't help but smile. She looked so... angelic; her navy blue hair messy on the pillow, her steady beat of breathing, her body, which was covered only with a long t-shirt. Sasuke found himself staring at her for a while more. There were tear stains all over her face. This saddened him a bit. Finally, he got in bed with her. This was their first time, as a married couple, sleeping in the same bed.
5 hours later, Hinata awoke. Tears immediately started to roll down her eyes, before she even opened them. There was a blanket over her. She could swear she did not go to sleep with it. She felt warmth beside her, and she could hear breathing.
Hinata opened her eyes. Sasuke was sleeping soundly next to her. He must have come back last night. She ran her hand through his hair. So smooth and soft... she kissed him on his lips lightly, hoping not to wake him up. He must need sleep after his long mission.
She got up and took a shower, smiling. Sasuke was back.
She made herself breakfast and made lunch too, putting it in the fridge. Then she went back to the bedroom, and lay on the bed next to Sasuke. She was looking at him lovingly, and stroking his skin. It wasn't long before he woke up.
"Hinata... I'm back..." He told her quietly. He had dreamed of this moment for the last 4 months. Hinata replied by kissing him.
"Sasuke, I love you, I'm so sorry, and I'm so happy that you're here... I love you so much, and I miss you so much, and I need you so much and.." Hinata said in her quite voice when the kiss broke.
"Shut up." He ordered her quietly. He took his shirt off. Hinata was stunned; she just stared at him for a second. His body was so perfect. Hinata felt more comfortable now with Sasuke than she has ever felt. She took off her own shirt.
The lunch Hinata had made was long forgotten. Sasuke and Hinata were too busy playing husband and wife.
MEANWHILE IN THE HIDDEN VILLAGE OF THE SAND
Gaara looked at the pile of papers he had to fill and sighed. What a waste of time. He had hoped that people would like him more if he became their kazekage. But he was wrong. Nobody really cared about him being in charge of them. Sure, he passed new rules and ignored some others. He judged people, and half the village was dead. But people certainly didn't like him more. They still all despised him.
Suddenly, he decided. He was going to quit being kazekage.
An hour later, the council were notified of this and a new kazekage, some 17 year old jounin brat, was chosen.
Gaara let the sand carry him to his house. He was so sick of this village. He had tried protecting it, but people still hated him. He wanted to go away, but he knew he'll miss his siblings. But then again... they'll understand. Won't they? He was sure they would.
He put in his gourd some water and some food instead of the sand, that just followed him, and started walking away.
He was going to the desert. Deep into it, the further side. Away from the hidden village. There, he knew, he would be able to let Shukaku out more, and he'll feel more comfortable. And he wouldn't have to worry about other people.
YUP, WE'RE BACK TO KONOHA!
Neji was fighting Lee in order to get better. He hadn't heard from TenTen for over a month now. She moved with her mother to the United States after her father died in an ANBU mission. Her mom didn't want her to be a ninja anymore, and TenTen didn't want to disappoint her rather old mom.
Neji had a hard time to swallow her disappear. She was the only one who understood him, and she knew more about him than anyone. They had been together, on and off, since they were 14. and after 7 years, he got so into her...
flashback
They were sitting back to back in the middle of the forest, leaning on each other. They were waiting for Gai and Lee, who have gone off to search for something, and were talking and eating sunflower seeds. Neji could see TenTen and TenTen couldn't see Neji. They were talking about their last mission, which was a B ranked one and quite long and difficult.
"Thanks for saving me back there, Neji." TenTen said then.
"I did it because I like you." Neji told her, casually. He was an expert at hiding emotion.
"Really?" TenTen had blushed (Neji saw it with his byakugan, even though they were sitting back to back.) "well, uhh... I like you too!" She said and turned around (as Neji hastily deactivated his Byakugan. He didn't want her to know he'd been staring at her.) to kiss him. That was their first kiss, and there were many, many, many more to come. They never grew bored of each other.
end flashback
And now she was gone. She had been the only one he loved for his entire life, and now... she was just gone. Gone to the United States, where she'll probably find new love, and a new life.
AND BACK TO THE DESERT!
TenTen frowned. She was hot, sweaty, her metal weapons were HOT, and she didn't store enough food or water for this trip.
She was on her way to the nearest airport, which was in Tokyo, when she decided to go back. But the problem was she had no idea HOW to go back. She was on the verge of tears.
She missed Neji.
She decided to think logically. She was in the desert, meaning that she wasn't too far off from the village of sand, probably. Right? Right. If she found the village of sand, she could get herself food and water and go home. She's done the way from the hidden village of sand and back many times; as allies, Konoha protected the sand and the sand protected Konoha. She was rushed to the sand many, many times. The way usually took her something in the area of a day or two. But the desert was big, and she had no idea exactly where in it the hidden village of sand was from where she was now. And there was no one to ask.
A sandstorm came. TenTen was too tired to fight it. she layed down on the sand, and closed her eyes. She didn't even notice that she fell asleep.
But she must have, because she was woken up.
"Sleeping in the desert isn't a very wise thing to do if you aren't hidden. There are many predators around, I'm sure you don't want them to devour you..." a monotonous voice told her. She looked up, and saw a bit of messy mahogany hair and blue eyes, surrounded by black.
She recognized Gaara.
end chapter 8
Hehe! All those who thought I was overrating this when putting PG13, were wrong. This is the one chapter that I planned to make for a looong time. The first part of it, anyway. It has been in planning since I started writing the fic. I was going to write around two more chappies about the lost words and put more details, in, well... everything... but I couldn't take it anymore!!! Hinata had to be with Sasuke!!!
To those of you who thought "oh what a nice place to end this fic." You are so wrong. The fun has only just begun! More sasuhina for us, don't you worry!
And about the GaaraXTenTen, well, TenTen is the only female other than Temari and Hinata that I don't despize. Personally, I'm all for Hinata X Gaara, but this is a sasuhina fic so that won't be happening. And Temari and Gaara, well, it just doesn't work out. So TenTen x Gaara it was. Even though personally I'm all for NejiTen (as obviously seen above...). So im making it a love triangle! XDXDXD
PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE LEAVE REVIEWS!!! I LIVE ON THEM!!! PLEASE, TIPS FOR IMPROVEMENT, WHAT YOU THINK OF MY FIC, EVEN FLAMES ARE ACCEPTABLE!! I NEED REVIEWS!!!
Thank you ::bows::
