Well here we are again… I am sorry it is taking so long for chapters, it would seem I have a bit of Naruto's knack for getting in to trouble. LOL, well I am happy with the reviews I have been getting, the more I get, the more I write, so thanks for the ones I do get.

S/N: Don't own Naruto or Shakespeare's work. If I did Kakashi would be mine! (Laughs maniacally!)

Act 2 Scene 2: Where does one begin, Where does one end.

Her cheeks were flushed red with the effort of running away from her past. Panting, the pink haired beauty sat her self at the base of a plum tree, sprawling at the tree's root as if she were part of it. Foot steps caused her to perk up, her pale emerald eyes brightened as the sight of her godly Naruto, his blonde hair billowing in the crisp nights air, his ocean blue eyes glowing in the light of the full moon. Heart skipping a beat as his masculine form drew nearer. "Sakura, love, are you ok?" Naruto's voice soothed her anger immediately.

She rose, dusting off the earth that had clung to her, the blue silk of her skirt fluttered in the breeze. "I am so happy to see you!" she cried as she flung her self into his arms, telling her self that he was her future and that was that. "I love you," she murmured while pressing a kiss to his lips.

Something wasn't right about the kiss, he wasn't there, his lips were stern and his hug barely kept her close. "We need to leave, lets start moving." His words weren't as soft as they were when he was asking of her condition. His eyes looked wild, so different from when he first had arrived.

"Naruto, what's wrong, your scaring me." Her voice was pitiful, but it had caught his attention. Naruto turned his oceanic orbs to her and she noticed they had not changed, and specks of red were beginning to appear.

His body looked hardened and his muscles threatened to rip the flimsy material of his orange shirt away. "You smell like the Uchiha," he growled.

Her eyes widened. I forgot he could smell that, she thought to herself. Desperately, she placed a peach hand on his arm that stood out against his tanned skin. "He came to me, but I have come to you Naruto." She gave a small smile as she felt him soften. He turned to her, the wild ruggedness had left him and her gentle lover had returned.

"You chose me over him?" Naruto asked, needing to know if she had chose him over her precious Sasuke; to make sure what Hinata had said was a lie. His form was beautiful in the light of Luna, hair highlighted in such a way it looked like a halo, eyes threatening to let the oceans they contained wash over her. A smirk touched her lips as she stepped closer to him, letting her body press against his. Lasing her arms about his neck she leaned up to him, standing on her tippy-toes, letting her lips brush against his before she could answer. Strawberry, she remembered. Her Naruto tasted of strawberries, I wonder what Sasuke tastes like? The thought made her cringe inside, but she knew she couldn't help but lie. Naruto would always be there Sasuke wouldn't, that was her choice security.

"Yes, I have chosen you over him." She felt her heart ache when the sweet smile Sakura had grown so fond of took over Naruto's face, it made her feel so guilty. Damn Sasuke, he has ruined everything. She berated her self as Naruto took her hand and began to drag her in a run to their future.

The water of the creek had stilled as she finally lifted her aching head from her lap as footsteps had approached her. Sniffling she stood up, her black hair falling like a water fall to rest at her hips, her white eyes fell onto a young man about twenty-three just a few yards way from her. His eyes were cold and deep, no color but the darkest shade of black, his hair was of color and texture of raven feathers. Black tee shirt clung to his chest and shoulders, the wind pressing it close to him, out lining his muscles. He wasn't a body builder, but obviously did some form of martial arts to keep his sleek figure. He looked like he had walked out of the night and some had clung to him. No doubt he was handsome as he drew nearer. "Sasuke," the crying woman whispered.

Sasuke looked at the beauty before him. He recognized her only for her snow-white eyes. "Hinata?" he called to the celestial maiden before him. A smile touched his lips as he made the mental comparison to the Hinata that stood before him, to the Hinata of his youth, he almost whistled at the growth she had made. "Age has been kind to you." He commented with his deep, spicy voice.

Hinata still had a hand to her cheek, but smiled at the change in the Uchiha. "As it has to you." Shock finally set into her, before she could help it, she blurted, "what the hell are you doing here?"

He laughed at her unusual straight forwardness. "Chasing after a friend." He walked up to her, respecting her space when his hollow eyes fell onto the red mark on her milky skin. "What happened?" he let his own pale hand caress the red mark on her cheek, when she winced, he pulled away and looked at her. The redness of her snowy eyes tipped off she had been crying, but oddly with his realization, her beauty didn't fade. She turned her rose petal lips into a sad smile, Sasuke didn't like that grin. The Hinata he had left was always smiling, even if she was hurt, but they were always a fake happiness, the realness of this smile made him a bit angry.

"Well," her voice was still a kind one, a soothing one. "I told the truth to Naruto, about Sakura and he well, he," she cupped her hand over the mark on her cheek.

Sasuke was over whelmed with a sudden anger, he had always remembered that Hinata was a friend to everyone who had crossed her path, even he—the notorious cold bastard of Konoha- had never had the heart to be mean to her, he just would ignore her so as not to hurt her. "He's the one who hit you… isn't he?"

Her frosty eyes swelled with tears as she nodded, she fell to the forest floor, still cupping her cheek and wept, not expecting any sympathy from the Uchiha as she remembered what had happened to her.

Flashback!

Naruto shook his head and turned to walk away, but Hinata had grown tired of him acting like a two year old and whipped him about to face her. "Naruto, you are twenty-two not two years old itself," shocked by her straight forwardness and rudeness, he was to intrigued to leave her there so he listened. "I do love you and have for a very long time, first it was lust I'll give you that but it has changed into love. Now that I have your undivided attention I need to tell you about why Sakura went out with you."

That is when Naruto got annoyed. She's just trying to break us up the bitch.

"She's only with you because Sasuke left you were her last resort." Hinata thought he was actually listening to her, instead he slapped her, she stumbled back holding her cheek, tears running down her face.

His blue eyes turned red with fury spilling from them he snarled to the crying girl, "DON'T!" He softened his voice and his eyes returned to their normal sky blue, "Ever say that again Hinata, I'm sorry…" He couldn't bring himself to apologize for what he did, guilt of his action took him over and he dashed off, he was so confused.

End of Flashback

Naruto hit Hinata, His mouth was agape, that couldn't be right? He crouched down beside the weeping Nin and pulled her into his chest as she wept. Just one more reason to kill the little prick.

She couldn't believe that the man who was holding her while she wept was the same boy who had left the Village to avenge his clan ten years earlier. Thankfully the shock of the Uchiha's apathy had drawn her tears away. Pulling apart, the Uchiha rose from the ground and offered her a hand up. Graciously, Hinata took his hand and he pulled her up. "Come with me Hinata and we will get Naruto and we will let the truth be known." Sasuke ordered with a kind smile, it was the only time that Hinata had seen him smile like that, it made her happy to know that she was allowed to she it, she grabbed her bicycle and returned to his side. "Do you want to petal or ride in the basket?" She asked with a smirk.

A he took the bike and mounted, Hinata sat in the basket and then the two were off to find the pair that was causing such a drama. Unknown to them, two sets of eyes were watching from a distance, blank bored chestnut ones, and hollow jet black ones. Laughter reverberated from the chest of the black eyed one, a glitter taking them over. "Oh Gaara, it seems that I happen to have a plan, and it will be requiring your services." The two men stepped out of their hiding place and watched the boy and girls silhouette fade deeper into the forest.

Gaara turned a chestnut eye to the older man. "Some how I have the idea I am not going to like this little 'idea' Itachi," his voice was cold and hollow.

Itachi laughed into the night, "Oh my dearest Gaara, I am only going to turn you into puck himself!"

One eyebrow-less arch when up in response, "Puck? I don't like this idea, but what choice do I get?"

A black eye glanced over to the pale red head next to him as he drank in the view of the man next to him. He was truly a beauty, pale skin, reddish brown hair, eyeliner drawn brown eyes, 'lovechild' kanji printed over an eye, light green tee shirt that didn't reveal a thing let observers just imagining what he had hidden, baggy brown shorts doing the same thing as his shirt. "My dearest little Puckling, you are a beauty, but I think you will enjoy the mischief I am about to release on this boring little forest."

All he could do to keep his growl suppressed was to laugh at the Uchiha, "you have not left your old ways behind, but have adjusted them to you liking."

"That may be true, but we have work to do Gaara," Itachi smiled at the younger man.

"Yes, Itachi, it would see, that we do." Gaara sighed.

Both men were roaming the night, Luna's glow washing over them, the lady of the forest cloaking them from the youth they were tailing, and the whispers of the tree spirits were telling them stories of their long past. Night was over the forest, but the life of it was just beginning.
