Heyy!!! I am still beaming from all the reviews!!! I can't believe how many I've gotten in such a short time. I am now putting translations next to the words for the Japanese impaired.

-----IMPORTANT!!!!-----

If you want to see pictures of certain moments in this story, send a review of the chapter and paragraph(or a description of the moment). I am a fairly good drawer(I'm trying to be humble) so please ask!!!! I plan on putting her outfit on my homepage, so check it out when I tell you guys about it!!!

I would put the reviewers and such right here, but I am too tired. So, I might tell in the next chapter. Sorry!!


Chapter 4 - Old Memories amd New Expectations

Collecting her things, Hinata lazily trudged around her room. Though tired, she was completely excited. My first night alone with Sasuke!!! I can't wait! She smiled to herself, staring at the mirror. "I think the new me is rather suiting, don't you agree, Neji? I know your behind the door."

Neji walked into the room. "Hinata-sama-"

"Hinata-chan."

He sighed. "Fine then. Hinata-chan. It's about...your status." He looked towards the floor sadly.

"Finally. Took him long enough. I couldn't wait 'til today. The day that I'm disowned." Shock roamed over Neji's stoic face. "If that's all, then I will be leaving. I am needed elsewhere, but just for the fun of it, I'll go yell at Otou-teme." With that, she stepped out the room.

"What is the meaning of this?!" Hinata angrily yelled, breaking through Hiashi's door.

"You are no longer a Hyuuga. You are much too weak to have the privilege of living here, much less controling it. You will be leaving now." Hiashi stated rudely.

Hinata fumed, but then smirked. "I hate the Hyuugas, so I'm glad I'm disowned. I would have refused the position of heiress anyways. The thing that makes me mad the most, though, is that I became confident. I can now say that I am strong, but no. You insist that I am weak. You tell me that to crush me. I hate people like you."

Hinata began walking out the door, but turned to say one final thing. "Oh, and I'll be off to Sasuke Uchiha's house," knowing how much he hated the Uchiha survivor.

"Do whatever you want..." He gritted through his teeth.


KNOCK KNOCK KNOCK. Sasuke walked over towards the front door. Opening it, he saw Hinata with all of her things. "Yeah...Change of plans. They disowned me." He looked at her as if she had grown two heads.

"Aren't you upset? I mean, they disowned you." She shrugged.

"It's not as if I enjoyed living in that hell hole." He gave her a small hug.

"Well then. I guess that means you will have to stay here." She blushed, but shook it off.

"What do you think I was planning on doing?" She said more than asked, crossing her arms, sticking her tongue out playfully.

"Nothing but it." He motioned her to sit on the couch. Instead she walked over into the kitchen.

"I'll make you some tea. What flavor would you like?" She asked, turning her head to catch his gaze.

"Black tea, please." Hinata started laughing slightly. "Nani?(What?)"

"You said, 'please'. That's hilarious." He stood up and lightly bonked her on the head. "Ow...What was that for?" She pretended it hurt, putting her pointer finger to her lips.

"You laughed at me." He said, blushing.

"Aww...I'm sorry! I didn't know that hurt your feelings-" She began laughing. "Wouldn't it be weird if I was like that?" He nodded. She playfully hit him on the head this time.

"Ow...What was that for?" He said mimicking her, even putting his finger to his lips.

FLASH! He froze. "Kami(God), that would be an embarassing photo if that got into public, ne(huh)?" He held the photo high over her head. He tried to get from her, but Hinata moved swiftly out of the way, causing Sasuke to land flat on his ass. "Don't worry, I won't give it to anyone, but I am keeping it." Running, she id it in her moutains of items(from her room), so Sasuke couldn't steal it.

Humiliated and defeated(again), he sat on the couch. Hinata resumed making tea. Scanning the photo's that hung on the kitchen wall, she came across a certain photo that caught her eye. It was a picture of a woman, a man, Sasuke, and another person that was ripped from it. She assumed it was Mikoto Uchiha, Fugaku Uchiha, Sasuke(Duh) and Itachi Uchiha.

Ignoring her temptation to glomp Sasuke and pity him, she poured the hot tea. Walking over to Sasuke, she sat beside him. "Do you...ever get lonely in this house?"

Sasuke told her nothing but the truth. "I do. I always wish there was someone else here. I want to leave this place, but I feel myself...drawn to it. Although, I do not want pity. I don't want to be treated like I'm some little victim." She hugged him tightly, her head leaning on his shoulder. "I just said I don't want pity."

"This isn't pity. Trust me." She lifted her head, smiling sadly. "It's understanding. Before you say I don't understand, you're right I don't, but I am going to try to. I want to stay here with you. Forever." Smiling, she placed a light kiss on his cheek. KNOCK!

"Oi(hey)! Sasuke-teme! Let me in! I want to train!" A loud, annoying voice rang through their ears. Hinata stood, motioning Sasuke to stay seated.

She opened the door. "Hinata? What are you doing here?!" She scoffed.

"I live here now,too so, get the fuck out. I never want to see your hideous face again." Although hearing her words, all he was thinking was Hinata is so hot. I wonder why she's over at Sasuke-teme's house. She could've come over to mine. Oblivious to what he did just a few weeks ago and the words that came out her mouth.

She noticed his eyes oogling her curves. "BAKA!!!" Hinata screamed, punching him in the face as hard as she could. He flew across the compound, over towards the training grounds.Brushing the imaginary dust off her hands, Hinata closed the door and sat back down. Man...I better not piss her off, was all Sasuke could think.

They resumed talking about their past, learning everything about each other. She wanted to be that someone to stay him, and he wanted her to be the one to stay. They talked until late night, falling asleep in each others arms.


Sasuke's Dream

Darkness surrounded. Infront of him was Itachi. "Brother, I am disappointed. I told you to become strong, not get a woman. Besides," He smirked, "now it's just another weakness for me to target."

Sasuke flinched. Moments later his fear turned to anger. "Why go after her!? You want to kill me. Leave Hinata out of this!" Sasuke gasped. Through the darkness behind Itachi he saw a figure. As light filtered through, he saw it was...Hinata.

Itachi saw his brother's reaction and swung around to grab the girl. Holding a kunai up to her throat, he said, "See? This just proves how weak you have become. Imobilized from one person-"

"Let her go." The seal's second stage had taken over, but Hinata was no longer in Itahi's arms. She was in Sasuke's. "Hinata, make sure to close your eyes." He whispered to her.

"Okay." As she was told, Hinata obeyed. Sasuke lunged toward his brother, Chidori(thousand birds, a jutsu) initiated. It made slight contact, percing a hole in the Akatsuki member's skin.

"A frightning jutsu, but how many times can you maintain it?" Itachi smirked. He activated his Mangekyou Sharigan. Grabbing Sasuke's throat, he held him up high. Sasuke gagged and coughed.

"Let. Go." Hinata was now breaking Itachi's arm. He dropped Sasuke.

"I thought I told you to stay out of this." Sasuke coughed.

"No, you simply told me to keep my eyes shut, but the Mangekyou Sharigan has no effect against the Byakuugan (This is not true, I made this up for the story!!). I will help you fight." Sasuke relluctantly nodded. She helped him up.

"Too late." Itachi had a chakra blade in hand, aiming directly at Sasuke. He waited for the pain to come, but it never did. Opening his eyes, he saw midnight blue hair before him.

Hinata coughed up blood, but shakily removed the sword by forcing chakra into it. As the chakra slowly disappeared, Hinata fell to the floor. Sasuke frantically searched for a pulse, but one was never found.

End Dream

Sasuke's eye widened. Panting, he searched for Hinata. As he saw her peaceful face, he relaxed. She was still here.

For the first time in years he felt...happy, safe, and calm. He gave a small kiss on Hinata's temple before returning to sleep.


I hope this chapter was good! I can't remember if I made Sasuke smile or laugh yet, so I might save that for next chapter.

Make sure to tell me about what I mentioned earlier!!!

See ya next time!
