Author's Note: The chapter are kinda short… Because the chapters are based on their POVs. Sorry for that. Hehehe.

Disclaimer: I don't own Naruto and never will.

Sasuke walked briskly down the corridor. He felt a little annoyed that Kakashi had told him to give a basket of fruits to Hinata. Why didn't he pick Naruto instead? Why him? But that was a little part of him. A much bigger part was excited at seeing the angel again, an angel by the name of Hyuuga Hinata.

He knocked at the door of room 315. There was no answer, but he thought he heard sobbing. He opened the door, and found Hinata sitting at the windowsill, her eyes red from crying with tear stains on her face.

"Good morning," he said quietly. He went nearer to her. "This is from Team 7."

"Good morning, Sasuke-kun," Hinata said wanly. She dropped to her bed and took the basket from Sasuke. "Thank you."

Sasuke looked at her closely. He compared the tear-stricken image of Hinata to the vision he saw yesterday. Her happy face was infinitely preferable to her crying face. He found himself wishing to wipe away those troublesome tears. "Hinata-kun…"

"I'm sorry you had to see me like this," she said, wiping away her face with her arm. "I'm just… So lonely."

He gazed at her pearly eyes full of sadness. He sat down next to her on the bed. "It's all right," he said in a soothing voice. He was surprised at himself. Usually, when he saw a girl cry, he would be annoyed to no end and leave that girl. But it was different with Hinata. He found himself wishing to stay. "Did someone make you cry?"

Hinata smiled. "Not really…"

"You're just thinking of Naruto baka, that's all…"

She looked surprised.

"The whole village knows except the idiot himself," he shrugged. "Don't cry now."

"He and S-Sakura…" Hinata gave a sniff, then burst out crying, flinging herself to Sasuke. "T-They are s-so happy together! W-w-why c-can't Naruto-k-kun notice me? W-what does Sakur-c-c-chan have that I-I d-don't?" she proceeded to cry stormily, gripping Sasuke's shirt front. "A-all my f-friends have s-s-someone w-who l-l-loves them… M-my family d-doesn't even visit m-me here…"

Sasuke put his arms around Hinata hesitantly. "Sshh… It's not right for a Hyuuga to cry…" he bit his lip, wishing he had never said that. "But there, just let it all out…"

Hinata's crying stopped, but she didn't let go of Sasuke. "Sasuke-kun… I don't know why I'm crying in front of you… I'm sorry… I must be a burden to you…" she looked up at him.

He swallowed. His hand brushed away a tear that fell from her eye. "It's all right, I guess…"

She released him and fell back to her pillows. "Don't you have training?" she took a tissue from the bedside table and wiped her eyes.

"I have… But Kakashi-sensei said that if you need anything, I was to see to it." He shrugged. "He sent me here."

"I see…" she sat up again and sighed.

"Do you need anything?"

"Nothing... Except company…" she looked at him, misery etched in her face.

"Then I'll stay," he said simply.

Hinata sucked in her breath. "Thank you, Sasuke-kun."
