Chapter 5
Hinata's POV:
Sasuke seemed a little sad when I told him I didn't like him,yet he continued to try to make conversation.I felt sorry when he grabbed a brush and started brushing my shoulder-length hair.I felt sorry when he ran down to my house just to get my favorite stuffed animal.I felt sorry when he kissed me on the forehead goodnight.
All that time I felt sorry...Because it felt like I was cheating on Naruto.Its true that I never really had him... But it took a long time for me to get the courage to talk to him. When he went away for 2 1/2 years, I tried as hard as possible to get stronger.I tried so hard to prove to Naruto that I was worthy to go out with him. But no matter what I did, I could never be the girl of his dreams. I was a thief, taking every second I could just to see him... I bet that if I could add up all of the times I saw him, it would add to nothing. None of it meant a lot to Naruto,because I was pretty much invisible to him for such a long time. All this time.. I was hopefully thinking that he would one day notice me.But I was such a fool. I will never be the pink-haired Sakura Haruno. I will never be the object of Naruto's affections. Yet I always trick myself into thinking that one day he will ask me out, when I do nothing to deserve it. I never talked to him, I never aknowledged him... And even when I thought that it was bad enough that everyone else did it, I was being a hypocrite by saying that it was horrible. I don't deserve him. And he doesn't deserve me. If I had spent so much time loving him, he should have noticed or at least told me he wasn't interested. Maybe he loved his little "fan club" that I gave him. Maybe he liked bragging to somebody who'd actually listen and be grateful for the time they had with him. No matter what.. It was time to let go of all of the feelings I had for Naruto. I'm only wasting my time. As for Sasuke...
I looked at him sleeping in that same chair.He looked uncomfortable,yet happy.I could tell that he has been trying really hard to make these days count... He reminded me of myself. When I was wasting my time with Naruto, he liked me. And now he was wasting his time, because I had liked Naruto.' My poor Sasuke...' I thought. I knew I was starting to like him..But I know it could never work. I just have to deny every feeling. I know it can't work because of my clan. They want so much to just marry me off and let me stay weak. I don't want to be weak anymore. And besides..He has a lot of fangirls that would eat me alive if they found out that I was going out with Sasuke. Two of those girls are my best friends...Sakura and Ino would hate me as well. ' I should try to make these good days for Sasuke...And make them worth all of the time hes spending taking care of me.Maybe I can't give him a relationship,but I should let him know that his efforts arent' going to waste' I thought. I grabbed a spare sheet off my bed,tiptoed off to his chair,and covered him with the blanket.'Sleep well. We only have 5 more days after tonight..' I thought
Sasuke's POV:
I woke up before Hinata and cleaned myself up.Just as she was awakening,I told her I'd be back in a minute. She asked why,and I told her I was going to go get breakfast so she wouldn't have to eat the hospital food.That was a lie.Today I was suppossed to see who the assasin is. I absent-mindedly kissed her on the cheek and said " If I'm gone for awhile, Kurenai-sensei will be here for a little bit." I walked out the door and went to Tsuande's office.I needed to know who the assasin was because Kurenai wanted to me know something...
When I walked into the office,Tsuande pulled up a chair and told me to sit down."Its fine Tsuande-san.I will stand." I said "No...I think you need to sit down for this Uchiha." Tsuande said firmly,and advised me to sit. Reluctantly,I sat in the chair and awaited the news.
"We were searching for a while...and we found out who the assasin is." Tsuande said then sighing "Who is it!" I said,holding in my rage. She directed my attention to a comptuer screen and there was a full profile. His name was Ginta Miazaki. He was tan,and had a scar across his lip with cold black eyes.He had gray hair... Just looking at him made me sick. I wanted to tear him to shreads for almost taking the life of my Hinata. I wanted revenge.
Tsuande could feel the hatred radiating from my body,so she put a hand on my shoulder and said quietly "Hes dead." "Who killed him? H-How did they find him..?" I asked coldly
"This is the part I didn't want to tell you...And this is the part Kurenai and Kakashi wanted you to know.."Tsuande began softly "WHAT IS IT!" I asked anxiously "Itachi killed him." she said at last "I-I-Itachi!Why?"I asked suprised "He had heard of some rich man who was killing people for their fourtunes..So he killed Miazaki and stole all of his money.We were happy to see that Itachi had put himself under the limelight because we would have had a lead on a killer,but in the end he lost us...I'm really really sorry Uchiha."Tsuande said again,only this time with more sympathy.
I ran out of the Hokage's office.I didn't know whether to be happy or angry... True,he did kill that horrible creep, but they still lost him. My mind went crazy and my body went numb. I didn't know what to do.. Suddenly nothing mattered. I had nowhere to go, but the hospital.
