A/N: INFERNAPE: Hanabi started taking interest in Sasuke in the prequel to this story. "Seven days" She had never personally met him until he had gotten married to her sister Hinata. Like most teenage girls-and single women-Sasuke is seen as someone amazingly attractive.[Which he is! ^^] She basically is apart of his ever growing fan club now. If you would like to read of their first encounter together; i would suggest reading chapter 17 of the prequel "seven days".
Thanks to all of my readers for reading. That was my first 'cliff hanger' ending. I'm glad I got the responses I wanted ^^ success! I also believe it brought out some of the more silent readers to review. :D Please feel free to drop some kind words, I don't bite. As you can probably tell, updates will be slowing down for a short time. Hopefully I'll be able to find some time though to update quickly. Thanks again for reading!
Sasuke's ANBU team had been on missions regarding a group shinobi drop outs, who were after the scroll of seals. They hid out deep in the dense forest and according to all the leads; the group was going to infiltrate Konoha tonight. Sasuke was in charge of making sure they were stopped before they could enter the village.
Hinata turned around. "Mask off." She demanded.
The masked man reached for his mask and took it off. He looked just like Sasuke.
"Hinata." He said gently. "What's the matter?"
"Sasuke-kun…You're back." Hinata said softly. Sasuke walked towards her. Hinata jumped back, landing on the other side of the bed; she flicked her wrist once more. The shuriken on the floor flew up and into the back of Sasuke.
"Hinata…Why?" Sasuke asked as he coughed out blood.
"You're not Sasuke." Hinata said sternly. She pulled on the wire string more. Sending the shuriken deeper into the unknown man's back. He chuckled.
"So, you're not so dumb after all." The man looked up at her.
She watched as he morphed back into his original form. He was a sickly looking man, thin, and tan. His large round eyes gazed into her.
"You're pretty too; it's too bad you're going to die." The man said with much vigor.
The wire in hinata's hand suddenly glowed a blue hue. She concentrated her chakra into the wire and the shuriken.
"Who are you?" She asked angrily tugging the wire and shuriken deeper into him, numbing many of his chakra points.
"No one special, I'm but a messenger; here to tell you of your future death." The man said scarily. Hinata grabbed a kunai from Sasuke's night stand drawer. She wrapped the wire metal around the kunai and stabbed it into the floor. She boldly walked over to the man, he watched as she walked to his side.
"You can kill me, but you're still going to get killed." The man spoke with no fear. The chakra infused into the shuriken wore off.
"I'm not going to kill you." Hinata looked at him fiercely. She then used her gentle fist, closing off his chakra points, incapacitating him even further.
Hinata left the incapacitated man and went to the front sliding door. She saw her guards waking up, it seemed as though they were sleep bombed.
"Go get Ibiki-san here now." Hinata ordered angrily.
One of the guards got up quickly to go get Ibiki. The other ran over to Hinata, ready to assist her in watching the intruder.

"Damn it!" Kiba said aloud.
"What is it?" Sasuke asked as the four of them perched on a tree branch.
"They're gone." Shino said solemnly.
"We were set up?" Shikamaru asked.
"Seems so, those were decoys." Kiba said sniffing the air.
"Something's not right. We have to go back." Shikamaru said.
"Fuck! Their scent is completely gone!" Kiba said angrily.
"Right. Move out." Sasuke said. The four made their way back to Konoha.
"Keep an eye out." Sasuke said to all of them.
0000000000000000000000
"It'll be just a minute." Ibiki said to Hinata.
"Kuchiyose: Gomon Heya" Ibiki summoned his torture chamber in Hinata's bedroom.
"Good job Hinata." Naruto said to her with a pat on the shoulder.
Naruto had arrived with Ibiki, Genma, and Raido. Twenty minutes later Ibiki emerged along with the unknown man. The torture chamber dispersed into thin air.
"Well?" Naruto asked.
"He only told me so much, we'll need Inoichi." Ibiki said.
"Genma, Raido." Naruto said. The two took the incapacitated man to the interrogation department to meet Inoichi.
"He's part of the group Sasuke's team is after." Ibiki said to Hinata and Naruto. "There not after the scroll of seals."
"What are they after?" Hinata asked curiously.
"You." Ibiki said sternly to Hinata.
"Hinata? Why?" Naruto said hastily.
"He didn't say. That's why we need Inoichi." Ibiki replied.
"You'll come with me." Naruto said to Hinata. She nodded her head and grabbed a jacket. The three left to the Hokage residence.
0000000000000000000000
"Hinata." Sasuke said as his four member team appeared in Naruto's office, it was almost dawn.
Hinata stood up. The four men took off their masks.
"What are you doing here?" Kiba asked curiously.
The door opened behind them. Naruto, Ibiki, and Inoichi entered the room.
"What's going on?" Sasuke asked impatiently.
Naruto walked to his desk. "Hinata was attacked." He said calmly.
Sasuke looked at Hinata. "What?"
"It's true, I was." She said seriously.
Sasuke's hands balled into fists.
"Wait what's going on?" Shikamaru asked again.
"The group you're after isn't after the scroll of seals." Ibiki said.
"They're not?" Shino asked.
"It's a cover up." Inoichi added. "They wanted to Sasuke away so they could go after Hinata."
"Why are they after Hinata?" Kiba asked angrily.
"She's just one of the people they're after." Naruto said solemnly.
"So that means…" Shikamaru didn't finish.
"They're after me." Sasuke said, putting the pieces of the puzzle together.
"But why?" Hinata asked naively.
"Sasuke's made some enemies in the past." Ibiki said looking at Sasuke. "Haven't you?"
Sasuke glared back.
"You're lucky." Naruto said, leaning back in his chair. "They're weak and there aren't many of them."
"Then let's just take care of this right now!" Kiba said frustrated.
"We will!" Naruto got up and slammed his hand on his desk. "I want to get his done and over with just as much as you do, but we have to think rationally about it."
"If they're after Sasuke, why don't they just go after him? Why go for Hinata?" Shikamaru asked.
"To kill off the blood line." Inoichi said seriously. "They aren't sure if she's pregnant yet, they want to kill her just in case before going for Sasuke."
"Then why didn't the one they send…" Kiba was cut off by Naruto.
"She was much stronger than him." Naruto said confidently.
"He said he was just a messenger, telling me of my future death." Hinata spoke up.
"We won't let that happen to you." Shino said.
"Yeah Hinata, we'll take care of them." Kiba said enthusiastically.
"Sasuke." Naruto looked at him.
"You're to stay away from this mission." Naruto said seriously. "We need to protect you and Hinata, both of you are not to participate."
"But—" Hinata spoke up first.
"No buts, you two are staying in a temporary apartment in the Hokage residence. I've already gotten some of your things brought up from your house. You two can't leave the Hokage residence either." Naruto said sternly.
"What?" Sasuke said outloud.
"We don't know if they have anyone working on the inside, we can't risk you two going out." Naruto said to him.
Sasuke gave his friend an evil glare. He wanted more than anything to go and kill those guys personally.
"I know it's frustrating, but you have to leave it to us." Shino said to Sasuke.
"Sasuke." Naruto said his name and threw a pair of keys to him. Sasuke caught them.
"These are the keys to the apartment. It's in the extended east wing." Naruto said seriously. "You two leave, we need to discuss the situation at hand." Naruto said to Hinata.
Hinata nodded reluctantly. Sasuke turned and opened the door; the two left and walked towards the east wing.
"How did it happen?" Sasuke asked seriously.
"He appeared in the room suddenly, I felt his strange chakra pattern…" Hinata hesitated. "He…appeared like you."
"Like me?" Sasuke asked.
"He looked exactly like you." Hinata said. "But two things made me know it wasn't you." She said with a smile.
"What?" He asked looking at Hinata.
"He asked…'What's the matter.' You always ask me 'What's wrong.'" She said shyly. "Plus…the color of his chakra was different." She slowed her pace as they neared the temporary apartment.
Sasuke scoffed arrogantly, such simple things made her know it wasn't him. He took the key and unlocked the door. They looked in at their temporary apartment. Four large boxes of their belongings were on the floor. There was an open floor plan kitchen on the right after the small foyer; it opened up to the living room. There was no formal dining area, just two stools underneath the overhang of the kitchen island. The couple walked in and took a look around. There was one bedroom with a large bed and a small chest of drawers, the view from the window was of a tree lined street. Hinata walked to the bathroom and turned on the light, it had a basic vanity with storage underneath, a toilet and a bath shower combination. Sasuke went to the kitchen and opened the fridge; it was already stocked up with food. He opened the multiple cupboards, everything was ready for them.
'They really don't want us to leave.' Sasuke said to himself.
Hinata went to the boxes; she opened them and looked inside. "I'll put these away." She said to Sasuke.
She went into the room with a box and put some of their clothes in the small chest of drawers. Sasuke looked around the small home, leaning on the kitchen island. He was frustrated, he wanted to go out and be a part of that mission, if Naruto was right, they wouldn't be a problem for him to take care of. Still the thought of leaving Hinata wasn't what he wanted either. Though she had great perception and was a great kunoichi, he didn't want to risk not being able to save her if anything worse were to happen while he was away.
He walked over to a closet in the small foyer. The linens were stacked up prettily. He grabbed a towel.
"I'm going to shower." He said out loud telling Hinata. He walked into the bathroom and closed the door behind him. Hinata continued to unpack their boxes; most of their clothes however had to stay in them since there was not enough room for them in the drawers.
Sasuke walked out of the bathroom with a towel around his waist. His damp hair clung onto his skin as he made his way over to Hinata in the kitchen.
"Making tea?" He leaned over looking at her crush tea leaves.
"Mhm." She hummed.
Sasuke held her waist and nuzzled his chin into her shoulder. He looked down at her right hand. It was riddled with multiple red raised cuts. His hand reached down and lifted up her hand, he took a closer look. She tried to pull away.
"Sasuke-kun…"
"Did you use wires?" He asked as his thumb ran over the cuts. She pulled her hand away. "Yes."
She continued to crush the tea leaves, the kettle behind them on the stove began to whistle.
"I have to…" She fidgeted her way out of his hold. She went and got the kettle; turning off the stove.
He leaned his back against the island counter. Watching her, he was intrigued.
"You get used to the feeling of them." He said softly. "I'll help you if you want."
She poured the hot water on top of the tea leaves and smiled. Sasuke walked over to the bedroom to change. He walked out moments later in nothing but his pajama pants.
"Tea is ready." Hinata called out to him from the island, she was sitting on a stool; her back facing him.
He went and sat at her side. He picked up the hot tea and took a sip.
"You should rest; you've had a long night." He said looking into his tea.
"You too." She said as her thumb grazed the side of her cup.
"I'm sorry." Sasuke said out of the blue. "It seems I've forgotten who I was back then, I didn't mean for it turn out this way…them coming after you." He said seriously.
"I know…" Hinata said. "I don't mind, honest." She said looking at him."You're my husband." She said sweetly.
0000000000000000000000
The bright afternoon light shone on her eyes, waking up her mind. Hinata's eyes opened, squinting. She looked around the room, she had a slight shock. She had forgotten they were put in a temporary apartment. She sat up in bed and realized she was alone. She stretched and got up, walking to the door. She opened the bedroom door and saw Sasuke standing in front of the stove.
"Ah!" He let out as a spurt of hot oil landed on his bare chest. He reached over and turned down the heat.
"Morning." Hinata said sleepily with a smile.
Sasuke turned around and looked at her. "Afternoon."
She smiled goofily. "Cooking?" She made her way over to his side.
"Trying to." He said as he flipped an egg over, trying not to break the yolk.
"Need help?" She asked.
"No, just get ready; it'll be done in a bit." He said concentrating on cooking the egg.
Hinata walked over to the bathroom to get ready. When she came out Sasuke had a plate of eggs and buttered toast waiting for her.
"There was some coffee too." Sasuke put a cup of coffee beside her plate. Hinata took a seat and looked at the food.
Sasuke grabbed his own plate and cup of coffee, he sat next to her. She looked over at his plate; she could tell he put the broken yolk eggs on his plate. She smiled to herself and took a bite of toast. Like usual they had a quiet breakfast.
Hinata stood in the kitchen, putting the cleaned dishes away into the cupboard.
Sasuke stood behind her, holding her waist. "I hate to admit it, but I actually feel like I'm on vacation." He whispered into her ear. "I could get used to a small apartment with just the two of us."
Hinata smiled. She had to admit, she felt the same. A smaller home let them be intimate in a different way. No guards and no maids, just a lock on the door. It was almost as if the night before never happened, as if no one was after them.
"Mhm." Sasuke took in a breath, smelling her scent. Hinata closed the cupboard; her hands fell flat onto the counter. He began to kiss her neck.
A knock came at the door. Sasuke continued.
"Sasuke-kun…" Hinata said with a breath.
"Hinata?" Ino's voice called out from behind the door.
Hinata hummed. Sasuke's right hand slipped underneath her gown and to her womanhood. His finger rubbed her clit.
"Are you two home?" Ino asked again from outside.
Hinata hummed aloud. "Shh." Sasuke shushed her in her ear. Hinata's back arched as Sasuke's other hand went up and massaged her breast.
"Guess, they're asleep." Ino said to herself, she held a bag of groceries and put them on the floor in front of the door and left.
Sasuke continued to kiss Hinata's neck and shoulder.
"Ah!" Hinata let out a squeal as his finger rubbed faster. Her body shook, her legs trembled.
"Sasuke-kun…" She said in a whimper. His finger slowed, as her body jerked even more. Her head tilted back onto his shoulder, her mouth open and she began breathing heavily.
"Mhmm." He said as he nibbled her earlobe.
He removed his hands and let her go, letting her ride out her orgasmic moment. He leaned back against the kitchen island and watched as she relaxed her body; her head tilted downwards to the counter top.
Hinata's hand ran through her bangs, pushing her hair back. Her breath hadn't yet calmed down; she turned around and looked at Sasuke.
"What are you thinking about?" He asked her. Her eyes already seductive, he could tell he was about to be punished for sneaking up on her like that; but something told him he wouldn't mind the punishment.
Hinata leaned back on the counter. Her inner sexual and sensual goddess came out. She hummed as she slowly took off the straps to her night gown.
Watching her tease him, reminded him of the past; when she would tease him endlessly. Her night gown fell to her feet, revealing her bodacious body. She walked up to him, his hands reached out for.
"Sasuke-kun…" She said his name, his hands retracted and held onto the edge of the island.
"Mhmm…" Her hands went on his shoulders and down his chest to the drawstring of his pants. She looked down and could see his bulge. She put both her hands down his pants and gently slid them onto the front of his thighs. She pulled her hands back up as she kissed his chest. His head tilted back at her soft hands. He let out deep moan from his throat. She let out smile as she kissed his chest.
"Kiss me." She demanded gently. He leaned in and kissed her, his hands still on the edge of the kitchen island. Hinata's hands went to the side of his pants; she pulled them down letting his hardened member free from its confines. Her hand went down to his member stroking as she kissed him, she swallowed his moans as she stroked him lightly. Sasuke's hands reached for her hips, wanting to take action. Hinata pulled away from their kiss, her hands grabbed his wrists and pushed them back.
"Not yet." Sasuke's heart was beating through his chest at her words, at her forcefulness.
"Mhm." She hummed again when she started to stroke him. She cut the stroking short and took a stepped back. She walked a few steps away from him and looked over her shoulder with a smile. He was dumbfounded at her teases; he followed her into the bedroom where he saw her sitting at the edge of the bed, legs spread open.
"How long are you going to keep this up?" He walked over to her and pinned her down on the bed. She smiled and grabbed his one hand with her hands. She pulled it near her face and began to suck on his fingers, her mouth was hungry; but she didn't want to touch that certain area just yet. Sasuke felt a spike of arousal run through him; he pulled his fingers out of her mouth and held her wrists at her sides, by her face. She had teased him long enough; he kissed down her chest and in between her breasts. He turned his head and went to suckle her hard nub.
"Mhm…" Her eyes shut hard at the feel of his wet tongue. He took his time and did the same with her other breast. His hold tightened around her wrists; making sure she wouldn't be able to move.
"Ah! SASUKE NOW!" she yelled out unexpectedly. His arrogant smirk appeared on his face as his continued down her body with his kisses. He had her just where he wanted her; she was extremely wet and begging for him.
He mocked her from earlier and said. "Not yet."
Her breaths were sharp and high pitched, she was clenching her entire body, and his touches drove her insane. He wanted her to tell him what she wanted; he wanted her to beg for him more. He kissed the area around her belly button, teasing her heated lower half.
"Mhm! Sasuke!" She called his name out informally. She just couldn't finish saying his name due to all the arousal.
He raised his lips off of her skin. "Say it again." His eyes peered down her body at her.
"Sasuke." She whimpered out. He leaned in and kissed her again, still teasing her. He wondered if he could get the exact words out of her that he wanted. Still he continued to taste every part of her body that wasn't her lips or wetness. He enjoyed making her want him.
"Iyaaah!" She let out a high pitched moan as she raised her head off the mattress. "FUCK ME!" She was so angry, she yelled it out.
He smiled; those were the words he wanted to hear. He freed her hands and pulled her hips into him, he slid into her fast. Not letting her catch a breath, she was so slick he felt like he could just cut right through her. He thrust-not holding back-he gave her what she wanted. He fucked her. Harsh smacking sounds of him going in and out of her made him even more aroused. All Hinata could do was breathe; it felt so good she couldn't explain it if she wanted to. The way he pushed hard into her was over riding her senses. Her hands held onto her breasts, squeezing them together. Her body rubbed up and down on the mattress, the bedding wrinkled and was soaked with her sweat. Her legs over his shoulders let him deep inside; she felt him pulse inside of her. Her eyes shut closed; she sucked in a long breath, it was hard to breath it back out. She forced the breath out along with a shrill moan. He slammed into her, releasing his juices and a satisfied moan. He pulled out quickly; he stroked his moist- slightly deflated -member above Hinata's stomach. She felt the warm rush of his juice spill onto her skin. She lay down only able to look at the ceiling; her hand went down to her clit, rubbing it to ride out the sensation. Her body trembled as her fingers rubbed, Sasuke hovered above her body-his seed rubbing in between their bodies-he took hold of her lips with his and kissed her deeply. She stopped her rubbing; her hands went on his back, her nails digging into his skin. Her hips naturally started to grind on him. Sasuke pulled back to let them both catch their breaths. Sasuke got off of her and lay down beside her on the bed. Hinata closed her mouth, swallowing the accumulated saliva. She heard Sasuke let out a delayed moan. She turned her head and looked at him, his eyes were closed. He was absolutely worn out. Her hand went down to her stomach; her fingers circled the sticky pool of his seed. She brought her finger towards her face; she looked at the viscous substance hanging off her finger.
0000000000000000000000
The two were in the tight shower, giving each other a thorough rinse. The soapy suds ran off their bodies and down the drain. Hinata stepped out of the shower first, drying herself with a towel. Sasuke couldn't help but caress her ass as she bent down wiping the water off her legs. She smiled at his touching. She wrapped herself in the towel and made her way out of the bathroom. Water dripped down her hair and onto the hardwood as she walked to the bedroom to get dressed. Sasuke wrapped a towel around his waist and dried his hair with smaller towel. He walked out of the bathroom and heard a knock at the door. He walked over and looked into the peep hole. Naruto stood on the other side holding a grocery bag. Sasuke opened the door.
"What do you want?" He asked the Hokage.
Naruto let himself in. "Ino dropped off a few groceries for you two earlier." He walked in and put the bag of groceries on the kitchen island. "She said you two didn't answer so I came to check on you two." Naruto looked around. "How do you like it, not too shabby huh?" Naruto leaned against the counter.
"It's alright." Sasuke rubbed the back of his head with his towel.
"Sasuke-kun…" Hinata walked out of the bedroom in her towel.
"Hinata…" Naruto froze up as he gazed at her damp body, her cleavage clearly visible.
Hinata turned a bright red; she quickly went back into the bedroom, shutting the door.
Naruto's eyes were wide, his body stayed in the direction of the bedroom. Suddenly everything went black.
Naruto woke up on the couple's couch with an icepack on his head and a piece of rolled up toilet paper in one of his nostrils. He looked over to the kitchen where he saw-fully clothed-Hinata putting away groceries into the fridge.
"Stop looking." Sasuke said annoyed. Naruto looked to his right. Sasuke sat there glaring at him.
"Eh…I couldn't help it…" Naruto said stupidly.
Sasuke stood up and walked to the kitchen. "Is that all you came here for?"
Naruto stood up holding the icepack on his head. "I deployed some shinobi this morning to find those who are after you two."
Hinata watched Sasuke's face harden.
"Just thought I'd let you know." Naruto walked over to the door. "You both can use the facilities here in the residence, if you don't want to be cooped up in this apartment."
Hinata walked over to Naruto who let himself out. "Thank you." She said kindly. The door shut and she locked it. She looked over at Sasuke.
"Sasuke-kun…Are you alright?" She said nervously.
He stood there for a second before turning around to look at her. "I'm fine." The tone in his voice told her he wasn't. He wanted to be out there as soon as he heard Naruto had sent people out. He took a breath and collected his thoughts.
"I'm going to walk around the residence." He said very monotone.
Hinata nodded. "I'll prepare some food."
Sasuke nodded. He put on his shoes and went out. He walked down the corridor and around the residence. He found himself nearing the old arena; he forgot that it was attached to the residence. He heard the sound of sparring, the door opened to a crack; Sasuke peered in. There he saw a class of genin being taught by Iruka. He smirked and remembered his days as a genin. He stepped back and continued to walk around.
"Sasuke-kun." A woman's voice called out to him from behind. Sasuke looked over his shoulder. His old team mate and now head medical nin; was walking towards him. He turned his body around.
"What is it?" He asked; his hands in his pockets.
"Do you have time?" She asked cautiously.
"Not much." He said bored.
"Please, can we talk?" Sakura pleaded.
Sasuke agreed with his eyes. He followed her to her medical office.
"Take a seat." Sakura gestured him to the chair.
Sasuke sat down and looked at her as she took her seat behind her desk.
"So, what do you want to talk about?" He asked with a slight tilt of his head.
"Hinata." Sakura said seriously.
Sasuke perked up, his eyes glared at Sakura. "What about her?"
"Actually, it's about both of you." Sakura opened a folder in her hands and looked inside. "You didn't tell her yet did you?"
Sasuke had a mental scoff. He looked elsewhere. "No." He said not caring.
"Sasuke." Sakura looked up at him. "You can't keep this from her."
"Is this all you dragged me here for?" He glared at her again, annoyed.
"This is serious Sasuke." Her hands balled into fists on her desk.
"I know it is." He snapped at her. "Just give me time." He calmed down.
"You can't string her along anymore." Sakura said hesitantly. "You need to tell her soon."
Sasuke ignored her statement.
Sakura leaned back in her chair. "How are the night terrors?"
"Gone." He said quickly answering her.
"Gone?" She said suspiciously.
"There are less of them." His eyes gazed around the room. "And, they're not as bad."
"Then the pills are working." Sakura said confidently.
"I'm not taking them." He said seriously.
"What?" She asked irritated.
"I've been fine without them." He looked at her with his dark eyes. "Hinata…"
"You can't honestly say Hinata's the reason why…" Sakura said angrily.
"She is." He said sternly.
"A person can't be your medicine Sasuke." Sakura said jealously.
"Say what you will, she's been the reason why they haven't been happening much." He said again sternly.
Sakura scoffed out loud at his outlandish statement.
Sasuke stood up from his seat. "I'll be going then." He turned around and let himself out. Sakura sat at her desk suppressing her jealousy.
0000000000000000000000
Hinata plated their food on the table, she heard the door unlock from the other side. She walked over and saw Sasuke coming in.
"Food is ready." She said happily. Sasuke looked up at her, his face glum. Hinata gave him a gentle smile as he walked into the apartment. He took a seat at the counter. Hinata went into the fridge and grabbed two bottles of water. She placed it in front of him; she could sense something was wrong. She took a seat beside him.
"Where did you go?" Hinata asked cautiously.
"I saw Sakura." He said looking at his food.
"S-Sakura?" Hinata's voice had a jealous tinge. She looked down at her food.
Sasuke took a bite and silently sat there.
"Did…something happen?" Hinata said before placing a bite of food in her mouth.
Sasuke swallowed the food in his mouth. "Hinata." He said seriously.
Hinata chewed her food and looked at him.
"There's…" He began.
*Knock* *Knock*
"Oh?" Hinata got up from her seat. She walked over to the door and looked into the peephole. She sighed out loud. She unlocked the door hesitantly.
"What?" Hinata said, already irritated.
Hanabi let herself in. "So this is where they're hiding you two?" She looked around the apartment, her eyes met with Sasukes. He sighed looking at his food.
"Oh! Brother in law!" Hanabi ran over to his side. "Eating lunch are we?" She said cheerfully. He glared at her from the side as he chewed.
"Why are you here Hanabi?" Hinata asked as she walked over to the two.
"Father wanted me to check on you two." Hanabi said taking a seat next to Sasuke.
"Father?" Hinata asked.
"We were notified this morning about last night." Hanabi looked all around the apartment. "I thought they would have put you guys in something a little bigger."
Hinata walked over to her sister's side as Hanabi continued to insult their new living quarters.
"Ow ow ow!" Hanabi squealed. Sasuke looked up from his food. He watched as Hinata dragged her sister out the home by pulling on her ear.
"Tell father we're fine." Hinata told Hanabi
"Bu-" Hanabi continued. Hinata shut the door on her; locking it.
Hinata walked back to the kitchen. "I'm sorry…"
Sasuke smirked. He had never seen Hinata act so rash towards her sister. Hinata took her seat next to Sasuke. They ate a couple of bites before Hinata stopped and looked at Sasuke.
"What were you going to say earlier?" She asked curiously.
"Oh…I don't remember." He said under his breath. He did remember; he just didn't want to say it.
0000000000000000000000
A week passed; and the Uchiha couple was still living in their temporary apartment.
"What's taking so long!" Sasuke raised his voice to Naruto in his office.
"Calm down." Naruto said calmly.
"You said they were going to be easy to take care of." Sasuke's voice didn't turn down.
"There were a few bumps along the way." Naruto said looking at Sasuke.
"Bumps?" Sasuke said irritated.
"It seems they're good at hiding." Naruto said seriously.
"We got most of our sensors working on it." Naruto assured Sasuke.
Sasuke scoffed out loud.
"We've already dealt with four of them; there's four more left." Naruto paused. "I still don't want you two leaving the residence; we can't take the risk."
Sasuke stood there fuming. "How much longer?" he asked impatiently.
"Soon. There's nothing to worry about." Naruto looked through the papers on his desk.
"Fine." Sasuke turned around and left the office.
Hinata stood up when she saw Sasuke come out of the office and into the corridor. "So?"
"It'll be over soon. There's four more left." He said annoyed. Hinata sighed; she was getting sick of being stuck in the residence. The two walked around in the residence, taking their usual path.
"Oh! There you two are!" Iruka said to them slightly panting.
"Oh…sensei." Hinata and Sasuke stopped.
"Do you two have time?" Iruka said walking towards them.
"Us?" Sasuke asked curiously.
"Ah…You see." Iruka scratched the back of his head. "Kiba was supposed to speak to my class about his clan; but he was called out to a…"
"Of course we can speak for your class!" Hinata said brightly.
"You can!" Iruka's eyes lit up.
"We can?" Sasuke looked at Hinata.
"If you could, I would be so thankful; I'll treat you two to some Ichiraku ramen okay!" Iruka waved them hurriedly. "The students are just in here!" He rushed them to the arena.
The three neared the arena, the door opened and the once boastful and loud class turned quiet.
"Stay here, I'll introduce you." Iruka said nicely. The couple stayed behind the door.
Iruka walked into the classroom. "Okay. So… Inuzuka Kiba won't be joining us today."
The students exclaimed their sadness; they all anticipated the speech the Inuzuka was going to present to them.
"But! If we really want to talk about clans; I have two people here who are from two of the most important clans of Konoha."
"Who!" A very disgruntled boy asked out loud.
"Now, calm down." Iruka looked at the door and nodded at Hinata and Sasuke.
"We have, Hyuga Hinata and Uchiha Sasuke!" Iruka said cheerfully.
Hinata and Sasuke walked into the arena. The small group of genin gasped at the sight of Sasuke. His dark and mysterious aura made the school girls' hearts flutter and the male students jealous.
"Hello." Hinata said happily. Sasuke stood there scanning the class full of students.
"So, these two haven't prepared a speech but I'm sure they'll answer any questions." Iruka smiled at the couple. "But no rude questions!" Iruka said sternly to the students.
Iruka went and stood to the side. Hinata and Sasuke stood in front of the students.
"Any questions?" Hinata asked nicely looking around at the students.
A small girl raised her hand. "C-can we see…it?"
"Byakugan?" Hinata asked with a smile. The little girl nodded curiously. Hinata smiled and closed her eyes; she opened them when she activated her blood-line limit.
The class gasped in amazement, since they were first year genin; they had only heard of the blood-line limits.
"What can you see with those?" An amazed boy asked out loud.
"Raise your hand next time!" Iruka called out from the side.
"Well, I can see your chakra points." Hinata answered, the boy along with the rest of the class opened their mouths in awe. "And, well; I can see an almost 360 degree field of vision around me, as well as a range far beyond ten kilometers."
"Why…" A boy called out and reached his hand up.
"Yes?" Hinata asked. The boy smiled nicely to her. "Well, why only almost 360 degrees?"
"You see." Iruka got up and walked towards Hinata, he stood behind her. "Hyuga's have only one blind spot and that's right here." He pointed at the back of Hinata's neck. "Right here, a place called the third thoracic vertebra."
"OH~" The class exclaimed.
A girls hand shot up to the ceiling.
"Yes, you." Hinata said gently.
"Uhm…Well; then that means…" She nervously looked down.
"It's okay." Sasuke said, gaining a blush and smile from the little girl. He had a mental sigh-from the way she blushed-she probably just joined the Sasuke fan club.
"You're…the legendary Uchiha Sasuke…Can you show it to us?" She asked cautiously.
Sasuke smirked. He blinked and looked at her; his sharingan fully exposed. The girl gasped.
"COOL!" The class cooed.
"Now, we already learned much about the sharingan haven't we?" Iruka said to the class.
The students nodded their heads in amazement.
A boy raised his hand. "Yes?" Sasuke said monotone.
"Could you show us something…cool?" He said with wide eyes.
Sasuke smirked. The arena suddenly turned into a candy wonderland; cotton candy, lollipops, chocolate, and everything sweet you could imagine.
"Where are we?" A student asked out loud.
"Did you transport us?" Another boy asked.
The arena suddenly turned back to normal and caused a loud uproar from the students.
"What happened?" A student called out.
"That was genjutsu wasn't it!" A young girl said excitedly.
"That's right." Sasuke said.
"COOL!" The class exclaimed again.
"Okay! No more questions now. Let's do some of our exercises. Grab your partners and practice throwing your shuriken. Targets are in the supply room."
The students got up and excitedly ran to the supply room.
"Thanks you two." Iruka said thankfully.
"No problem." Hinata smiled, she really did love kids.
"Ichiraku ramen another day okay? I got a full schedule today." Iruka said apologetically.
"Sure." Sasuke said. The couple deactivated their blood lines.
"If you need us to speak again, feel free to ask." Hinata smiled kindly.
"Thanks!" Iruka waved good bye to the couple as they left.
Hinata and Sasuke left the arena, Hinata with a permanent smile on her face.
"Why are you so happy?" He asked as he looked at her from the side.
"I don't know; just something about seeing kids." She said looking at the ground before her.
Sasuke's face hardened. The two walked around; nearing the medical offices. The smile on Hinata's face slowly disappeared as they walked through the area.
Sasuke had been called to Sakura's office almost daily since he last told Hinata of his first visit. Hinata felt helpless; he would never tell her of what the two spoke about. She of course had her suspicions; was he so upset at her wandering eyes that he would do something with Sakura? He seemed fairly normal to Hinata; nothing about him screamed out 'I need to go see my doctor-who may or may not still have feelings for me-daily.' Hinata had wanted to ask him, but the words could never escape her mouth. It was like something held her back. Maybe telling him about her suspicions will make him leave her, or worst leave her for Sakura. At first, Hinata thought it was about the night terrors. But Sasuke hadn't had a night terror in over a week. So what could it be? What could make him run to Sakura daily? What did Hinata not know?
