Hey guys, and welcome back to another chapter. I just want you guys to know that I'm not going to put this story in to parts (e.g. Demonic Love I, Demonic Love II etc.) Instead it's just going to be Demonic Love, so... expect this story to be long. I've also figured out how to put the ū in Hyūga so you'll be seeing that from now on.
Anyway, I apologise for any repetitiveness, grammar mistakes and my poor writing. I hope you enjoy!

Hyūga Hinata's slowly started to open. In front of her was a very familiar ceiling and after a moment, the ravenette slowly sat up. What am I...? she thought to herself, looking around and taking in her surroundings. After having her fill of looking around, she realized that she was in her bed, in her room, which must of meant that she was in her house.
How did I get here? Hinata wondered. She searched through her memories, trying to think how she ended up in her bedroom, and that's when she finally remembered. She remembered being stabbed by the reddish-pink skinned, demon woman, getting a fever and seeing Sakura's gentle expression before she lost conciousness. Hinata then brought her hand up to her abdomen and touched the place that she had been stabbed. The wound didn't hurt any more, and the ravenette wondered if it was bad, that she would have to hide it.
Her curiosity getting the better of her, Hinata undone some buttons of her pyjama top, exposing her abdomen to the chilled night air and looked at where the demonic woman had impaled her. There's nothing there she thought in amazement. There was no hole, no scar, nothing to indicate that she had been hurt at all.
Feeling satisfied, she then started to button herself up again, but as she did, a thought then suddenly hit her. Wait she paused, and then looked at her attire. She was wearing her purple pyjamas with white polka dots stitched into them. How did I get into my pyjamas? She defiantly remembered losing conciousness, so there was no way she could have dressed herself.
The answer to her question was soon answered however, when Hinata's bedroom door opened. Coming through it, who Hinata was not expecting at all, was Sakura and the pinkette was holding a bowl of water with towels inside it. "Haruno-san?" Hinata found herself calling out.
Sakura had managed to close the door with her foot when she heard her name being called, and she looked towards the ravenette's bed. Her eyes widened when she saw the Hyūga girl sitting up in her bed with a surprised expression on her face. "Hyūga!" the pinkette cried out, quickly making her way to the bed, but at the same time, trying not to spill the water that was in the bowl. She set the bowl on the night stand next to Hinata's bed and sat on the bed. "Are you alright?" she asked, concern in her voice.
"Y-Yes," Hinata replied back, still surprised. What was shocking of all was the sincerity in her voice, when she asked the question. "Did you bring me here, Haruno-san?" Sakura gave a nod to her question. "I see,"Hinata said, then a thought came to the raven haired girl. "Wait. I never told you where I lived. How did you know?" Did she mention it when she tried to talk to pinkette at school?
When Hinata asked that question, Sakura turned her gaze away. She paused for a moment before she spoke. "When you walked home on the night you first got attacked," she said, still not looking into the ravenette's eyes. "I followed you home. Sorry."
The raven haired girl found it strange that she apologised, even though she had nothing to be sorry for. The half demon girl probably looked away and apologised thinking that she would get scolded for following her home. But, to Hinata, that wasn't the case. She felt warm and fuzzy on the inside, knowing the fact that Sakura, despite giving her the cold shoulder at school, was making sure that she was safe.
"You have nothing to be sorry for Haruno-san," Hinata said as she smiled. "Thank you for watching over me."
Sakura's gaze was still turned away from the ravenette, but Hinata could see a hint of red coming from the girl's cheeks. The raven haired girl covered her mouth with her hand, hoping to stop the giggle that escaped her mouth. It didn't, and that made Sakura's cheeks redden even more.
Wait Hinata thought, again something popping into her head, causing her to stop mid-giggle. If I was unconscious, and Haruno-san was here with me the entire time. Does that mean... When that came into her mind, she could feel her own face starting to heat up. "Um...Haruno-san," she called out, and Sakura reluctantly looked up. "These pyjama's that I'm wearing," she motioned to her attire. "Did you by any chance put them on me?"
"That's right," was the immediate response she got from the pink haired girl.
When she got that blunt reply, Hinata cast her own gaze downwards and her cheeks were now completely red and inflamed. H-How embarrassing! she cried out inwardly. Even though she still had her underwear on and Sakura was a girl, it was still embarrassing to let someone see her naked body.
"Hyūga?" Sakura called out.
Hinata looked up from the call of her name, with her red cheeks and saw the worried expression that was on her classmate's face. "W-What is it Haruno-san?" Hinata stuttered, cursing herself for doing so.
"Your fever is coming back isn't it?" she asked.
"I-I'm fine, really," Hinata replied back, waving her hands in front of her. If Sakura knew the reason why she was blushing profusely, she'd be even more embarrassed.
Even though she said that, Sakura looked like she had a hard time believing her and the next thing the pinkette did, made the raven haired girl go stiff as a board. Reaching out with her hands, Sakura cupped both of Hinata's cheeks and brought her face closer. "H-H-Haruno-" the ravenette's words were cut off as the pinkette placed her forehead on hers.
Hinata could feel her face burning up even more and, if she moved her head slightly, she'd end up kissing Sakura because they were that close to each other.
"You're burning up!" Sakura said worriedly, removing her hands from Hinata's face and began to reach out for the bowl of water on the night stand. But before she could grab the semi-circled object, another pair of hands grasped her own, stopping her half-way, and when she looked back, her gaze met a smiling Hinata.
"I'm fine really," the girl reassured her. "I was just a little surprised, that's all. My fever has gone down a lot thanks to you. So really I'm fine."
The ravenette laughed nervously after those words and Sakura was slightly confused as to why she would be surprised in the first place, but gave her a nod and then sat back down on the bed. Silence then soon filled the room, both girl's not knowing what to say next. The silence was awkward for the pinkette, due to the fact that she didn't know what to say to the girl in front of her. And Hinata was still slightly embarrassed to say anything.
But she knew that the silence couldn't continue. Just as she was about to speak however, to the ravenette's surprise, it was Sakura that had finally broken the silence between them. "Back then," she spoke, "did you mean what you said?"
"What... I said?" Hinata repeated, her cheeks returning to their original colour and the embarrassment completely forgotten about.
Sakura nodded. "When I talked about my reason for fighting the demons, " she added. "You said that it upset you. Did you mean that?"
The pinkette's gaze never wavered once she asked her question. Was Sakura still unsure about what Hinata had said at the park? The serious look that she was giving the ravenette was a clear sign that she was. Hinata cast her gaze down and thought for a moment. How could she prove that what she said was true?
That's it! Hinata thought to herself, as an idea popped into her head. Without saying a word to the pink haired girl, the ravenette pulled the covers away from her body and stepped out of her bed. Sakura's gaze followed Hinata as the girl walked up to her mirrored, vanity table that was across the room and opened one of the draws. The pinkette watched as Hinata started to rummage through the wooden box, and when she found what she was looking for, she smiled.
Turning around, Sakura's classmate hid whatever she found behind her back and spoke to her. "Hey Haruno-san," she called out to her. "Could you close your eyes for a moment?"
The half demon girl gave the raven haired girl a quizzical look, but she complied and closed her eyes. Hinata, seeing that Sakura had done what she was told, started to make her way towards her and, when she was in front of the other girl, she placed what she had hidden behind her back on top of Sakura's head, through her hair.
"There," she said, "you can open your eyes now."
Again, Sakura complied, and when her eyes opened, she reached up to the object that was in her hair. "A hairband?" Sakura asked questionably, her fingers lightly touching the hard, but soft, material that was on her head.
Hinata nodded happily, and then, unexpectedly, she reached out and grasped Sakura's hands, causing the girl to go wide eyed. "Come here," she said, bringing the pinkette to her feet and made their way back to the vanity desk.
She sat Sakura down in front of the vanity's mirror and placed her hands on her shoulders. "Okay. Now, one last thing, Haruno-san. Could you... open your other eye?"
Sakura let out a "Huh?" in response. She hadn't even realized that she had closed it the entire time. She must have kept it closed after her fight with the demon woman and completely forgot about it.
The pinkette looked at the mirror's reflection, specifically: Hinata's reflection. She looked at Sakura with gentle eyes and had smile to match it. It was like she was silently telling her that it was all right. She turned her gaze away from the vanity's mirror, for a moment, and was lost in thought. After a few seconds, having come up to a decision, Sakura slowly and timidly, opened her left eye, revealing the demonic orb that was hidden underneath.
When her eye was fully opened, she looked back at Hinata's reflection and saw that the gentle eyes and smile hadn't left her face. "There," she said. "Now you look even more cute than you were before, Haruno-san."
Sakura went wide eyed at that comment. That was the first time, in a long time, that anyone had called her cute. When the pinkette first came to the human realm, she once tried to play with the other kids. Her arm's were covered by a long top so she didn't have to worry about exposing her arm. But when they saw her strange looking eye, they all started to call her names. Even the adults, that got a good glimpse of it, made no attempt to interact with her and made sure their children stayed away.
But the girl behind her was different than those children and adults.
The raven haired girl then did another thing that completely surprised Sakura. From behind, Hinata wrapped her arms around the pink haired girl's neck, enveloping her in a warm embrace. "No matter what people said about you in the past," Hinata continued, like she had read the pink haired girl's mind. "To me, in my eyes, you'll always look beautiful, Haruno-san."
Hearing those warm, soothing words, Sakura could feel her eyes starting to water. "H-Hyūga..." she began to choke on the ravenette's name.
"Hinata," the other girl interrupted. "We're friends now right? So you can call me Hinata."
The tears that have gathered in Sakura's eyes had now started to flow down her cheeks, down to her chin and then landing on the arms that were wrapped around her. Hinata didn't care that her arms were now getting wet from tears. Instead, she tightened her embrace. "It's alright Haruno-san," Hinata said in a gentle voice. "You've been alone this entire time right? So... if you want to cry, then cry. Let it all out, and know that I'll be there for you, just like you have been for me."
Even more tears had started to come out from Sakura's eyes and she began to tremble in Hinata's arms. "Hi...na...ta..." she said the name slowly at first, testing it. When she said the name out loud, it felt nice. It felt right. It was something that she couldn't explain. But when she said it, more tears sprouted forth, replacing the old ones. "Hinata..." She shook even more in the girl's arms. "Hinataaa!"
And at that moment, like the dam being broken, she started to cry, hard. She turned her body and clung onto the raventte's clothing like a child and cried out loud, burying her head into the other girl's chest. Everything that she had bottled up, was released all at once. Hinata closed her eyes and let the pinkette have her moment. She hugged the girl in her arms slighty tighter, to reasure her that she was there for her and that she wasn't going anywhere.
In the demon realm, sitting upon his throne, the young man with black hair had been watching the fight between Haruno Sakura and the demonic woman with his demon vision. He had felt an all to familiar power a moment before and he couldn't help himself to find it. He had watched the fight with delight, and when it had finished with the pink haired girl's victory, the young man's glowing demonic eyes soon became dim and he began to smirk.
So she's finally awakened, huh...
At that moment, a pool of darkness suddenly appeared in front of him, and like last time it appeared, a figure started to emerge from it. It was no surprise that it was the demon woman from before and like he saw in his vision, when she fully materialized from the pool, she was wounded.
"What happened?" he asked the demon knowingly, leaning his face on his fist. He couldn't help himself from asking.
"That pink haired bitch," the woman cursed. "I don't know how she did it, but she managed to gain even more power than she had before."
"So you decided to come scurrying back here? he continued. "And then let me guess, you want a bit more of my power?"
The reddish-pink skinned woman paused for a moment, the young man hitting the nail on the head. A cold sweat went down the demon's back, and she daringly looked up, meeting her Lord's demonic gaze with her red pupiless eyes. "J-Just a bit more," she stuttered pathetically. "I'll kill her this time for sure!"
The young man just smirked at the bold statement that the snivelling demon before him had said and silently, stood up. At first, the demon woman let a small smile fall on her lips, but that smile immediately vanished when she saw the black haired man reach behind his waist and pull out a thin sword.
"M-My Lord?" the woman spoke out, in a nervous way. She didn't like where this was going.
"My apologises," he said, his mouth curving curving into another grin. "But unfortunately for you, you're no use to me any more."
"No use to you?" the demon repeated. She could feel her blood boil from rage and started to clench her hands into fist. "So you're just going to kill me!? Is that it!?" she yelled. The woman glared hard at the man she called her 'Lord'. If he thought that she would just sit there and die, he had another thing coming! Thankfully I've still got some of his power. Which means I might be able to hold out until-
"Pathetic," a voice from behind cut her out of her thoughts. The demon went wide eyed and, not a moment later, she felt something sharp pierce through her chest. Looking down, she saw the tip of a sword which impaled her, and then, moving her head like a robot, turned her head to look behind her. The black haired man was staring at her with a emotionless eyes. When did he-!?
"Chidori..." as he spoke those words, a spark of blue lightning appeared in his gripped hands and then, it transferred to the sword and began to electrocute the impaled demon. Her screams echoed the throne room as thousands of volts coursed through her body.
Her screams last for a while longer before the young lord stopped. He then took out his sword from the woman, and she fell to her knees, smoke sizzling from her body. Her ragged breathing told the young man that she was still alive. He made his way around the demon until he was in front of her. Slowly, she turned her pupiless gaze up and met the young man's demonic orbs. The look he had was the same look the Haruno girl gave her, and his speed was unmatched. And thanks to that, something clicked in her head.
"Don't... tell me..." she said in between laboured breaths. "That... girl... she's..."
The black haired man smirked, as if to tell her what she was about to say was right. Then, not missing a beat, his eyes began to glow and with a "Amaterasu..." leaving his lips, black flames suddenly engulfed the demonic woman and her screams, again, echoed. But this time it didn't stop. Her screams kept going. And going. And going.
It kept going until finally, the demon was nothing but black ash on the young man's floor. The young lord's eyes started to dim, closed his eyes and then, sheathed his sword.
"How brutal..." a voice from behind spoke. This voice belonged to a man that irked the young lord to no end. He turned his head and saw the man, with pale skin, walking out from behind the massive chair. His long black hair, snake eyes and bony-like facial features would make any human or lesser demon cower in fear. "If you had kept her alive," he continued, "I could have used her body for my experiments. Or maybe, because she had some of your power, you were afraid that I would exploit it. Am I right... Sasuke-kun?" he started to chuckle.
Uchiha Sasuke glared at the snake eyed man. He was the only one, out of the entire demon realm, who wasn't afraid to call him by name. If it wasn't for the fact that the Sasuke needed this insane man in the first place, he would have been killed him on the spot. "What is it you have come for, Orochimaru?"
The pale man Sasuke referred to as Orochimaru, just chuckled once more. "Nothing really," he responded. "I had originally come for that demon you just killed, but alas." With that, Orochimaru turned on his heel and left, walking through the shadows and seemingly disappeared.
When he was gone from sight, Sasuke closed his eyes and took in a deep breath. "Sarada," he called out a name and almost immediately, he felt a presence behind him. Turning to look, he saw a girl kneeling before him. She had shoulder length oynx hair, which was parted to the right and she wore a red, sleeveless qipao shirt. She also wore pair of light-coloured shorts, dark purple thigh-length stockings, black open-toed sandals and long dark purple arm warmers. The girl's name was Uchiha Sarada, and she was Sasuke's daughter, one of many.
"Yes, father," she replied back to her summons.
"Go and gather your brothers and sisters, we have something to discuss."
"Yes," Sarada replied, and just like how she entered, she disappeared into thin air, like she was never there to begin with.
With her gone, Sasuke made his way back to his throne and sat down, his head resting on his fist. Now then. I wonder how things will turn out... This is going to be fun. the oynx haired man thought to himself, chuckling as he did.
And there you have it. I'm sorry if it was too boring for some people. I decided to make this chapter was a more relaxed one. Well except for the part of the little fight action between Sasuke and the demon. Anyway, please review, and I would appreciate any constructive criticism. Even one nice comment or review makes me keep going with this. And lastly, please check out my other stories that I'm in the progress of writing: Kunoichi's Stolen Heart and Dragon Ball Xenoverse: Resurrection of Frieza.
Thanks again!
