Look Beyond Onyx Eyes
Ello!! I'm back, and I bring with me a chapter! Chapter four!
Thanks to:
1. Winterkaguya-(hugs back) thank you so much. I had so much confidence when I started the sequel, and now I've lost it, not to mention the fact that since I've found so many new pairings that I enjoy now I don't really cling to gaaHina so much anymore. Oh well, we'll just have to see. Hanabi the lawyer…LOL. I decided to make Hanabi sound like that because, I mean, look what she has to deal with? Elders hanging on her sleeves, a genius cousin, smart herself, so I thought, why not? I'm so happy you liked this chappie, it always makes my day when you review! Ciao!
2. Puertorrican-babe-Exactly. He already is, and do I have a surprise for her when they return . Please keep reviewing, and thanks!
3. Kenshinlover2002-yeah, the elders are complete jerks. They all jump at the chance to take poor Hinata's birthright away from her. Well, we all know what happens in the end, right? Thank you, and here is your update!
4. TaichiSpirit- Thanks much! I'm happy it did that for you, I tried to make it good! Here is the new chapter
5. Toni(anonymous)-Thank you very much. Yes, Hinata probably does want to be a side member, but then to, either way she goes, she'll have rotten luck, that's the bad thing. Well, we'll see. Thank you for your review.
6. Heavenleehime- Well, hopefully, your questions will be answered throughout the story! I'm glad you hate the elders, because that was what was suppose to happen! They're like one of her enemies. Here is your update!
7. NanamiYatsumaki-thank you very much. I'm glad it's smooth enough for you! And hello!
8. De-ji bebi- Thanks. Yeah, my school won't let me get on this site, hence another reason why I can't update as frequently as I'd like. I mean, I have a whole period where I just sit at a computer, and they block THIS site. ((complains more)), I'm glad you like my story, and you'll see who. It's actually a bit surprising who wants to kill Sasuke, but the reason why it's surprising is because it's the real person who wants to kill Sasuke in actuality. I hope that gives you something to think about, and here's the chapter!
9. Thien Minh- Thank you! I thought the combination of the three as friends would be good. You'll see them this chapter…Sasuke and Hinata…glad you like how their developing!
10. Madteen66- Yeah. Don't you just hate them?
11. Sesskagtrueluv-Thank you! I try, I try. I'm really glad you like it, and here is a new chappie for you!
You all are the backbone to this story. Without you all, there is no story! So accept my gift, chapter 4!
THERE WILL BE SASUHINA INTIMACY IN THIS CHAPTER. It's nothing that'll burn your eyes out, it's actually quite mild, so don't expect anything extreme.
Chapter four: Dance
Again, night fell on the travelers. They were still in the grassy area, which seemed to have no end. Hinata almost wondered if they were heading in the right direction. She noticed they were when she saw faint lights.
"Even though it looks close, it's still very far away. The plains are so flat that you can see for miles." Sasuke explained.
Hinata nodded. She had to believe him, because they kept walking closer, but the town never seemed to move. Naruto suggested that they find some tall grass and camp out there for the night, and the other two agreed.
" " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " "
It always seemed like Naruto was the first to doze off whenever they camped out. Maybe it was because he used the most energy with his enthusiasm. Hinata soon wished that there was a place where she could refresh herself. If only there was some water nearby, but it seemed impossible to find anywhere to refresh herself with water when they were in the middle of plains…On missions like these, when the convenience of a shower or a hot bath were absent, Hinata enjoyed the cool feel of water against her skin when they were by a river or a stream or something. But then too, how would grass grow so tall and look so healthy if there wasn't water somewhere near?
She scanned the area, focusing on areas with low temperatures and small masses of chakra that would belong to creatures living in the water, and she found a couple of spots but they weren't bodies of water. She was just about to deactivate her Byakugan when she spotted something that seemed promising. Standing up and heading off towards it, Hinata was lucky to find a stream that was hidden by tall grass. It was perfect, and Hinata could definitely use it. The water was clear, and she wouldn't be bothered with tall grass surrounding the quiet stream like this…she began to remove her clothing piece by piece, laying them out neatly for her convenience.
" " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " "
Sasuke discarded his shirt in the tent as he prepared to settle in for the night. He'd just finished scouting out the area for their "friends" and was about to rest when he heard some commotion from outside. He wondered what whoever it was was up to when he saw a shadow bound out of the spot they were in.
Coming out of his tent, he activated his Sharingan and followed a blue colored mass of chakra. He was quiet as he moved through the grass, finally stopping to find Hinata at a small stream, undressing herself. Sasuke knew he shouldn't be here watching her do this, but his eyes didn't cooperate with his brain as they stayed glued to the undressing woman. She lifted her shirt off of her and undid binding around her chest and stomach, exposing her creamy colored skin. A red lingerie bra was undone as she cast it aside as well. As she turned towards her discarded clothes to remove her pants, Sasuke could see her full breasts and toned stomach. Her delicate fingers undid the messy ponytail in her head after all her other clothing was discarded, letting her long rifts of dark violet hair fall over her shoulders. Ninja was suppose to be roughened up because of they're job, how was she so delicate looking?
Sasuke swore he'd never seen something so beautiful in his entire life. Her shapely form, her docile expression, and those white lavender eyes…no other woman in Konoha compared. He felt so dirty spying on her like this, but what guy in their right mind would pass this up, even Sasuke? He followed her curvy form towards the stream with his eyes. The water was shallow, and came just up to her knees. He watched as she scooped up cool water, letting it fall over her shoulders, and when she dipped down he could feel his pants tightening. This was too much for him. He longed to run out to her and hold her down.. Then, he saw her look around a bit. She stopped.
Sasuke subconsciously shrunk back a little, hopping she didn't get the impression he was there watching her.
Then she did something unexpected. She started to dance.
Sasuke's eyes widened as he witnessed the dancing. It was erotic, very erotic what she was doing. They ways she bended her body so flexibly and the way she elegantly moved across the water. Who knew a ninja could be so very gentle with such movements? Water came around her in an unreal display as it moved around her dancing body, making it so her form was now only a silhouette. The water formed an orb around her as it sent ripples down its' sides. He could watch this forever. To think that Hinata of all the people could be so…so very…desirable, sexy? But then to, he had chosen her to pursue… Maybe he shouldn't feel so guilty for watching her.
Gathering the courage, Sasuke moved out of the grass.
" " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " "
Hinata danced vibrantly to her own imaginative tune. She felt so wonderful…it had been ages since she'd done this, so she thought she might be getting a bit rusty with her movements, but she got back into flow as she got use to it again. She let her body control her as she moved easily. Most would consider her dancing a form of temptation, but it wasn't the sexual display she was setting that made her like this so, but rather the beauty of it. People thought Hinata was just some innocent girl with no knowledge of anything, but when it came down to it, Hinata knew what she was doing. Dancing was a passion of hers, and it was part of her, and so like Ino liked flowers, and Ten Ten enjoyed collecting weapons, Hinata liked dancing.
She heard some grass rustle, and instantly, the water fell back into the stream, resuming it's travel to wherever the stream led to. Hinata glanced around nervously, but saw no one She stood frozen.
"…Hinata…" a deep masculine voice said. It couldn't be…but it sounded so much like him it had to be…"S-sasuke-kun…?" Hinata said. "Please, stay where your are!" she asked franticly.
"I've already seen." he said.
Hinata's eyes widened. She was ugly, wasn't she? He must have thought so, and just when she was starting to form some kind of bond with Sasuke too. Just great.
Hinata desperately tried to get to her clothing, but before she could manage to get there, strong arms folded themselves around her from behind. "Sasuke…?" she asked again. She could feel his bare, muscular chest pressing against her wet backside.
"Hm…" was his reply.
"Why…why are you…?" she couldn't really finish.
"Do you not want me here? I can leave if that's what you wish…" he said.
Hinata tried to glance back at him, but she saw nothing but a few strips of the dark hair on his head. "It's not that I-" Hinata was cut off as Sasuke spun her around. She was facing Sasuke, and he was staring deeply into the girls' eyes. "So no then?" he asked, his face moving steadily towards hers.
Hinata felt so right in his arms like this. His gaze was making her body tense with some unknown feeling. Here she was, Hinata Hyuuga, naked in front of Sasuke Uchiha, him holding her like this, he could do anything, she could WANT anything. Her mind was letting possible images of what they could do run through her head, then she remembered something…
"No. Stay…" Hinata said.
Sasuke smirked at her. His lips moved to hers, kissing them softly. She tasted faintly of tea, and smelled like lilac or lily. Whatever the case, she was definitely intoxicating.
Hinata couldn't believe this, it was so simple, the kiss was, and yet she felt her body stirring with some foreign desire.
They soon parted, the night's moon illuminating both of them faintly.
Sasuke let go of Hinata staring into her eyes intently. "You should get dressed now and we should head back…" he said to her, still looking at her with those mesmerizing eyes as he toyed with some of her hair.
Hinata nodded numbly. She felt so mesmerized it was strange. She had started to develop a liking for the Uchiha, but now, her overall opinion of him sky rocketed.
Once Hinata was fully clothed, Sasuke guided her back to the tent area bidding her goodnight as he went back into his tent.
As Hinata laid there, she couldn't help but let the event run wild through her head over and over, until she drifted off into a comfortable sleep.
" " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " "
Hinata awoke that next morning a still a bit tired. She didn't know why, she'd gotten plenty of rest. She packed up her sleeping bag and all the other items in her tent so that she could join her other two companions. Her mind ventured to Sasuke and that night…what did this mean? Was it all just an accident? She thought it was silly. Maybe they were just in the moment…
"Morning Hinata!" Naruto screamed.
Hinata jumped a little as the loud blond had startled her. "O-oh…Ohayou Naruto-kun…" she said quietly.
"We're not going to eat breakfast until we reach Tanzaku." Naruto explained to her. "We're that close!" he said happily.
"I see." Hinata replied not really worried about food, or Tanzaku, or anything, just Sasuke. Where was he anyway? "Naruto…?" Hinata began to ask.
"Hm?" Naruto asked as he finished packing up things.
"Where is-"
"Looking for me?" Sasuke asked.
Hinata turned around to see Sasuke behind her. "Oh…" she said.
Sasuke smirked at her as he walked forward a bit.
Even though she shouldn't be, because there was apparently no problem with it to him, she felt slightly self conscious, him seeing her last night. She also felt silly, for worrying about it. She was an adult, an adult who could make her own decisions, or some anyway, and then she thought she was rambling in her head about nothing. There was nothing to be worried about.
Getting all his own things, Sasuke pulled their map back out, showing them it would only be another 4 or 5 hours before they reached Tanzaku. After they drank water that Sasuke had gotten, they departed again.
" " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " "
It was a little too silent for Naruto's liking. Normally, even with two quiet people like Hinata and Sasuke, it was much more fun. "Guys…did you not drink enough water or something, are your mouths glued together? TALK PLEASE!!" Naruto asked almost pleadingly. They'd been walking for three hours and no conversation had been sparked.
"….Fine. What would you like us to say?" Sasuke asked crossing his arms as he made his sarcastic remark.
"We'll, I don't know, say something!" he said.
Sasuke winked at Hinata, and Hinata winked back. "Okay then. Hinata, how'd you sleep?" Sasuke asked.
Naruto could have sworn he was about to explode. It had been ten minutes, and of all the dirty evil things they could do…"Okay, now you're talking, but did it ever occur to you that, oh, I don't know…I AM HERE TOO!?" he asked.
Hinata couldn't contain herself. She burst out laughing, Sasuke chuckling only a little. "I-I'm sorry N-naruto-kun, I-it was just so funny."
"So he waited ten minutes. That's not right, I thought he'd start going mad in about one minute." Sasuke said.
"Whatever. I swear, you two should just…go out already!" Naruto said pouting. "Ganging up on me…" he said under his breath.
"Maybe we will." Sasuke said looking over at Hinata.
Silence.
Hinata stared at Sasuke. Did he mean that?
"I knew it. It isn't that hard to see Hinata." Naruto said smirking at her teasingly.
Hinata's face turned completely red.
"In any case, we're really close to Tanzaku, so whatever words you two want to spit at each other right about now, you might as well wait. I don't really wanna be around to hear it." Naruto said.
Hinata smiled and kept walking. She really couldn't believe it, but she hoped that he was serious. She definitely wouldn't mind if they went out…
" " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " "
Sasuke kept his eyes peeled. "Remember what that note said…" he reminded them. All three companions kept their eyes around the city. This was the place that their enemy was expecting them at. "Splitting up is not an option, don't let your guard down, be careful who you speak to, and if you speak, keep it at a minimum…" Sasuke looked at Naruto. "Alright, so are you saying you don't trust me?" he asked.
"It's just a fact that you're the loudest one that is most prone to slip up any information even if you don't mean it." Sasuke explained.
Naruto sighed. "Fine.", but he sure could go for ripping Sasuke's head off right now…Who died and made him leader anyway?
"We need to sleep light, and be prepared. Keep your weapons near you, but unseen so the enemy won't get suspicious." Sasuke warned.
Hinata and Naruto nodded.
"That's it." he said. By the time they'd gotten into Tanzaku, it was almost noon. All of them were about to eat the dirt off the ground if they didn't find some food.
"Maybe we should just keep going?" Hinata asked as they ate a bowl of ramen ((Naruto's offer…))
Sasuke shook his head. "It's safer in towns usually, and also our enemy is here, it is important to eliminate any threats to the mission as long as we're here." he said quietly, keeping an eye on the man on the far end of the ramen stand.
"Yeah…you're right." Hinata replied.
"They could follow us…" Naruto put in.
Both Sasuke and Hinata nodded.
"Tonight, we'll stay at that inn down there…" Sasuke pointed towards a small inn. "I have a feeling these people aren't just rouge ninja looking for trouble."
" " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " "
That night, Sasuke and Naruto stayed on either side of Hinata's inn room. Even though she was a ninja, the thought of someone sneaking in her room at night while she was asleep was enough to make her skin crawl any day. She wasn't going to slack off though. Hinata made sure her window was closed, and scanned the area for unfamiliar, uncivilian-like chakra, and found none, the closest threats being Naruto and Sasuke's charka signatures. She placed her hair in a loose braid and clasped her bed clothing together. She then slipped a kunai up each sleeve of her shirt, placing them securely on the weapon holders on each arm, and put one under her pillow. She heard a knock and activated her Byakugan. Seeing it was Sasuke, she opened it. "Hey. Just reminding you to keep sharp and sleep light." he said to her. "If they haven't attacked yet, it means they'll be attacking soon." he said. "I already spoke to Naruto…"
Hinata nodded.
Sasuke tilted her face up, forcing her to look into his dark eyes. "If you get into conflict, know I'll be listening. I'll come for you." he said.
Hinata blushed slightly. "Okay…Sasuke." she said quietly.
He stepped back and left her.
Hinata closed her door and locked it along with the window. She turned off her lights, and closed her eyes, listening closely to the sounds around her.

A/N: In all honestly, I don't think this is the best chapter I've written by a long shot, but if you all like it, I'm glad. This is also the shortest chapter I've written…I think. Sasuke and Hinata are finally on higher terms Anyway, I'm not sure when the next chapter will be out, but when it does come out, please be cool and review. See you all next chapter!
