Ch.3 Discover and Regret

WARNING: Ok a little warning, this next chapter has a bit of cussing…I don't know I guess I was in a mood when I wrote it. But if you guys don't like it, let me know and I'll censor it.

Naruto never made her feel this way, but she couldn't help but wish. And because she couldn't help but wish, she couldn't stop the word that escaped from her mouth.

"Naruto."

OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Sasuke was jumping from tree branch to tree branch, anger etched in every movement throughout his body. Fuckin' Naruto! He knew that things were going to get complicated if he acted on his feelings. But after that scene she made in the church, after running from the wedding, he didn't think that she would still want Naruto. But Naruto was still in between him and Hinata. He arrived at one of the training grounds, and then he dropped to the ground. He glared at the wooden posts; imagining it was Naruto. He snarled and yelled, rushing forward to attack it and obliterate the post. Having his back to the now non-existent post, he turned to look for something else to destroy.

Hours later, he was tiredly walking back to his apartment, exhausted from his "stress relieving exercise". He sighed when he saw a woman standing in front of his door. Damnit! Could this day get any worse?

"What do you want Sakura?" he asked harshly searching his pockets for his keys.

"I just wanted to see how you were doing." Sakura replied, swaying her hips seductively while walking towards him. She stretched out her arms to embrace him, but stopped at his dark glare.

"I wouldn't if I were you." he grounded out. But she smiled mischievously and wrapped her arms around his torso and moved her hips against his.

"Oh come now Sasuke, you know I could make your night." She whispered to him. He sneered in anger and disgust while he shoved her away from him.

"Don't you ever fucking touch me again, whore!" he yelled at her.

"But Sasuke-" she whined.

"Don't think I don't fuckin' know about you. Naruto is the only one you can fool." He stated before slamming the door in her face.

Sasuke sighed and slowly made his way to his bedroom and got ready for bed. Just before he went to lie down though, he heard someone knocking on his front door. He paused and shut his eyes in frustration. Can't a man get some fucking peace around here! He figured that if he would ignore it, they would eventually go away. But when he heard a key turn into the lock, he groaned; only one person had a key to his apartment. He walked back to the living room to find a depressed and worried blond.

"Where is she? Is she okay? What happened?" Naruto asked him. Sasuke thought about his encounter with Hinata, but made sure his face remained expressionless.

"She's fine. I found her at home." He lied. Naruto breathed a sigh of relief, but still looked very depressed. Sasuke remained silent, knowing that Naruto was going to vent, whether Sasuke encouraged him or not.

"Why do you think she ran?" Naruto asked aloud, not expecting an answer. His mind was numb and his heart heavy. He thought about the past three years. He loved her, he really did, but he knew that his whole heart didn't belong to her. Sakura still had a piece of it. Could it have been that Hinata found out that he was seeing Sakura on the side?

"Do you think she found out about Sakura?" Naruto asked, but was surprised when he heard Sasuke reply.

"Well were you with Sakura before the wedding?" Sasuke asked with narrowed eyes.

"Huh?"

"Well if she knew about Sakura before, she probably would have left you earlier. Don't tell me that the reason why you asked me to leave the dressing room was for you to fuck Sakura?" Naruto winced, that was exactly why he asked Sasuke to leave early.

"You're such a fucking idiot." Sasuke said emotionless then turned and started walking away. But Naruto grabbed his shoulder to stop him.

"Why am I a fucking idiot! Because I love them both! Because I'm still in love with Sakura! Is that why!" he yelled. Sasuke brushed Naruto's hand away.

"You're a fucking idiot because you are so fucking dense. For years EVERYONE knew about Hinata's crush on you, but YOU couldn't figure it out till she had to outright tell you. Plus you're the only one who doesn't see Sakura as she really is." Sasuke told him.

"That's only because I'm the only one who can see the goodness in her." Naruto argued.

"No, you're the only fool who doesn't know or believe what a fucking slut she really is." Sasuke countered. Naruto landed an amazingly fast punch on Sasuke's face.

"Don't you ever talk about Sakura like that!" Naruto growled with anger. Sasuke got up slowly with his Sharingan activated.

"Get out." he said quietly, menacingly. Naruto clenched his fists, but thankfully kept his mouth shut as he stormed out, slamming the door shut. Sasuke sighed deeply as he deactivated the Sharingan; damn, what a terrible day.

OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Naruto cursed Sasuke while he was still fuming with anger, walking back to his own apartment. What does Sasuke know about Sakura anyways? I'm the one who's been with her longer! I know her better! She was our teammate, how could he say that about her!

Suddenly he saw a flash of pink out of the corner of his eye. Sakura! He lit up with joy; she could help take away his problems for a while. He followed to where he saw the flash of pink, but as he closer to a darkened alley, he heard familiar sounds. Frowning he turned the corner to see some random leaf nin making love to HIS Sakura, the exact same way he was earlier today!

He stood still, frozen with shock at what he saw; Sakura sighing and moaning while some man pumped himself into her. He watched her as she opened her eyes to look straight at him; without emotion, then close her eyes again and continued making her soft sensual sounds.

Naruto felt numb with the exception of the feeling that his heart was being physically ripped out of his chest. He turned and slowly walked back to his apartment. So everyone was right. Why am I so blind to everything? Why am I like this? Why am I like this? Why didn't I see it? Then he stopped dead in his tracks with a sudden thought. Is this what Hinata witnessed?

Naruto crumbled to the ground; his arms cover his head and tears forming in his eyes. She must be in so much pain, how could I have done this to her? Hinata! I'm sorry! I'm so sorry!

OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

A few weeks after the "wedding incident" Hinata was sitting up in her bed; Neji sitting on her bed with her, keeping her company. He had just finished telling her about his latest mission.

"Hinata-sama?" he called to her softly.

"Hmm?" she smiled at him.

"Won't you tell me what happened? I want to help you." he said urgently. He could remember a time where it was the other way around; Hinata begging him to open up to her. He was worried, she usually told him everything. When there were joys, he'd be happy with her. When there were concerns, he would give her advice. And when there were problems, he'd be her champion. But now, she wasn't telling him anything.

"Please…Hinata." He asked her, hesitantly taking her hand in his. She smiled, but looked at him with sad eyes. She reached out to him, and he held her in his arms.

"Just be here with me Neji-niisan." She said as she buried her face in his shoulder.

Suddenly there was a knock on her door. Neji got up and opened it, but was shocked to see who it was. Naruto was standing there with his head hung low, looking like the most depressed man on Earth. He looked up to see Neji's face contorted in anger.

"I want to see Hinata." He told Neji as he tried to make his way into her room. Neji stopped him.

"You're not going anywhere." Neji said quietly.

"I came to talk to her. I need to talk to her!" Naruto cried.

"I don't care what you fucking need! If Hinata-sama chose not to marry you, she's got a damn good reason! I'm not going to let you see her." He said menacingly. Naruto frowned and prepared himself to force his way into Hinata's room, when he spotted her behind Neji.

Naruto felt his remorse and guilt come back to him at full force. He looked at her petite beautiful frame. How he wanted to fall to his knees and tell her how sorry he was, tell her that he still loved her, tell her that he'd never betray her again. She walked over and placed her hand on Neji's shoulder, calming him; he stepped out of her way. Naruto wanted to gather her into his arms, he could see that all the pain he was feeling was being reflected in her eyes, and he was the one who put it there.

"Hinata…I-"

"Naruto, please leave." She interrupted him softly.

"But…Hinata…"

"Please, just go." Naruto hung his head again as he slowly walked away. Hinata's bottom lip quivered as she watched him leave, but she was determined to hold back the tears. She walked to her window; her eyes were blank and expressionless. Neji walked towards her, watched her eyes fill with tears, watched her struggle to hold them back, and saw one escape her as it trailed down her cheek.

"Hinata." He whispered her name as he once again gathered her into his arms. Holding her, and whispering to her that everything will eventually be alright. Finally when there were no more tears left to cry, she pulled away from him. With her eyes red and her face lowered, she spoke.

"Thank you nii-san." She whispered. Neji gently lifted her face up, a corner of his mouth slightly lifted, giving her a small smile. Slowly she smiled in return, though it didn't reach her eyes. Her eyes looked outside, and suddenly she went to grab her jacket.

"Nii-san, I'm going to go out for a walk." She said, getting herself ready.

"Alright, I'll go with you." Neji said, watching her stop suddenly to look at him.

"No, Neji-nii-san. I need to be alone right now." She told him sadly. She watched him open his mouth to reply, but before he could say anything she was walking out her room.

"I'll be back in a little while nii-san, don't worry about me." She called as she hurried out the door. Neji sighed as he watched her walk out on him, wishing that he knew of a way to help her.

OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

AN: Alrighty! Another chapter done! Yay! I hope you guys like it. Lol, believe it or not, I'm NOT a Sakura-hater. If you read another one of my other stories, she's Hinata's best friend, and a "good" character…nothing like this. Just wanted to clear all that up. And don't worry, this isn't a NejiHina story, this is a SasuHina story though there is kind of a one-sided Neji thing, I'll give you that hint, but no more. And I know there's no romance in this chapter, but don't worry, we'll get back to SasuHina romance next chapter. And a little warning for next chapter, I'm sorry if there'll be OOCness, but it's my first time writing Sasuke, so cut me a little break please. Thanks so much! Please review, I always love hearing from you guys.
