Lunch

( Hinata's point of view )

After breakfast, Sasuke went home to get ready for work. I also begin to get ready for work. I shower and change into my work clothes. I look at myself in the mirror and brush my hair. I stop when I notice something, I look at my eyes. I dont have dark circles anymore, today is the first good night sleep I have had in days.

I smile and look away from the mirror, I wrap my arms around myself and close my eyes as I begin to remember what it was like being in Sasuke's arms. I take a deep breath and remember what he smelled like. I open my eyes when I hear the tea kettle in the distance telling me my morning tea is ready.

The entire day I was pretty much locked in the office, every time I would go out of the office to get things someone would walk up to me and ask me what happened 2 days ago. It gets tiring being constantly hounded by nosy co-workers.

Each time I would make an excuse and run off to Sasuke's office. For lunch, I decided to have lunch with Ino since we haven't talk to each other in a while.

"So what did happen 2 days ago?" Ino asks me after I told her how everyone keeps asking me, I rolled my eyes. "Ino I can't tell you that... its private" I say to her.

She smiles, "Fair enough... So how are you and Sasuke doing?" she asks. I tell her everything from what happened at the party to this morning.

"Oh my god... Does Naruto know he spent the night there?!" she asks in a loud voice. A couple of people shush us, but Ino just glares at them. "I don't think so when we woke up he wasn't there, he must have already gone to work by then," I say.

"Your lucky he did... Could you have imagined what would have happened if he found Sasuke in your bed snuggling with you," she says then starts to laugh.

"What would Sai have done?" I ask her, she stops laughing. "He would either chased him out of the house with a butcher knife or drawn a disturbing picture of Sai killing him and then give it to him while smiling" she answers as if it has happened before.

I give her a confused look, "How do you know that?" I ask her. "That's what he did to Deidara when he found him sleeping on my couch before he knew he was my brother... Poor Deidara still has nightmares" she says shaking her head towards the end.

"So how are you and Sai doing?" I ask wanting to change the subject. Her eyes start to sparkle, "We're doing great! He has an art show coming up soon, he's getting more and more jobs, it's exciting!" she tells me happily.

"That's good," I say with a smile, she begins to tell me more about some of the jobs that he's getting but one of them stick out to me. "Oh yeah, he also got this other job where an elderly woman hired him to draw how her child would have looked liked," she tells me. "How her child would have looked like?" I say confused.

She nods her head, "Apparently she married for money rather than love, and there was this one man that she's always had in her heart all these years, so she gave Sai a picture of them when they were young and told him to draw how their child would have looked like..." she says in a sad voice.

"That's so sad..." I whisper as she wipes away some tears that had begun to build up in her eyes. "Yeah, when he told me I started to cry" she admits.

"I would hate to ever have something like that happen to me," Ino says, I nod in agreement. She looks at me and takes my hand. "Hinata... you need to get out of that marriage... you need to divorce him" she whispers to me in a serious tone.

"Ino..." I begin, "Why do you need to stay married to him Hinata!? He doesn't love you and it's not like you need him!" she says to me getting frustrated. "Ino... you and I both know I can't do that..." I whisper, she looks down.

She starts to cry, I look at her surprise and rub her shoulder. "Ino why are you crying?" I ask gently. She looks at me tears still going down her face. "Hinata I'm scared..." she says to me. That surprises me, there are very few things that scare Ino. "Of what?" I ask her.

"I'm scared that one day I'm going to get a phone call and find out Naruto has hurt you" she whispers.

Although I'm shocked by what she just told me I smile at her, and hug her. "Shh, Ino don't worry nothing is going to happen to me..." I whisper in her ear.

After having lunch with Ino I go back to the office and continue working. But all day long her words ring through my head. Naruto would never hurt me, right? Tsunade said that it always seems like that in the beginning. I shake my head, no this is nonsense what happened to her won't happen to me... Right?

I catch my reflection on my phone screen although it's turned off I can still see myself in the dark background. For a second I could have sworn my dark circles were back, I look away and rub my eyes. The stress is making me see things, I sigh.

"Are you alright Hinata?" Sauske asks me from across the room, I smile and nod my head. "I just had something in my eyes is all" I lie, he doesn't looked convinced but looks down and continues his work.

Before I know it its time to leave, I gather my things and say bye to Sasuke and go home. When I get home I see Naruto's not there, I start to cook dinner and as I'm about to finish I hear the door slam open.

I get scared and walk slowly towards the front door and see Naruto in the front hall and sigh in relief. "Naruto w-welcome home," I say as the smell of alcohol hits me.

He glares at me, "Where is he?!" he suddenly yells. I look at him confused, "Where is who?" I ask scared. "Where is Sasuke!" he yells and takes a step closer to me. I take one back, "W-Why would Sasuke be here?" I ask in a small voice.

He takes a step closer as I take one back, my back hits the wall as he takes another step closer, suddenly I feel him put his hand around my neck and he begins to squeeze. I start gasping for air. I'm trying to scream but I can't, no sound comes out no matter how much I try. I look at him with pleading eyes but he continues to crush me. I put my hands on him in an attempt to pull them off but it's useless.

He's saying something but I don't understand, all I can focus on is on his hands and how they're blocking my airway. Then everything starts to dim, I start to see black spots.

I stop resisting and start to close my eyes, Its then when I'm dropped down to the floor. I start gasping and coughing, I look up and the last thing I see is Naruto with a bat, I feel a horrible pain in my head and everything goes dark.
