A/N: Hey, I'm back and ready to write! I know I left you guys with a pretty big cliffhanger and I'm hoping I'll live up to your standards! I spent a long time thinking from this chapter on, randomly thinking of where I'll go and how'll I'll finish and to tell you the truth, I have no clue! I had thought of future chapters, but not of the end! I freaked out, failed a test, and was grounded. I just back to the computer, and I've put my odd way of thinking up to the plate. I'm going to try and make the chapters a bit longer.
And for today's attention of Clueless Drama I have brought my wifey, Anni, to the table. She moved away last December and came back three weeks ago. The day she moved back she broke up with her boy-friend of a year, and things started to go good for her. She kind-of-sort-of got back together with a kid we both dated a couple years ago. Then there was this other kid, a boy from her church, that really liked her, then Jon, one of the kids from my school, and finally there was Josh, the jock of her old school. Within three days of being at GJHS she broke five guys hearts, which sent Josh to me some how. Even though Josh lives pretty far away from me I've been talking over the phone with him, and we've gone on a couple dates. He's okay, but Anni is a little ticked that I've been spending so much time with him. Even if she's my best friend, I don't think I'm going to let her get in the way of us, she was the one how turned him down, right??

You're Weak
Forgiveness Isn't Given, It's Earned
Was Sasuke mad? Ha, no. He was livid! Hinata had ruined his whole plan! Was this just some dumb way of showing him up? He kissed her so she thought she could reveal her secret just to spite him?!
His whole team, minus himself, Hinata, and Shikamaru, were in a pure state of shock to say the least. Ino and Sakura's mouth's could have been a subway in New York. No matter how hard Mistuki tried to cover her shock, it was obvious in her shock written eyes. Naruto, being the loudest member of the team, showed his is a formal 'a-duh' freak out. Hinata watched with a humored smile and she stood in front of them.
"Ohayo gozaimasu." She spoke as loudly as she could, bringing the team to a stop with their actions. It took everything for her to stop her stutter, let alone come up with words. With a deep breath looked over to her mask which lay on the ground next to Sasuke's foot. Her eyes finally met his.
It was her turn to be shocked. He seemed to be vibrating in anger. Their eye contact lasted less then a second, it seemed to burn her to look at him.
A soft, feminine growl left Sakura from her other side. "Hinata, what do you think your doing?! Impersonating a ANBU black captain is a crime, now leave before we have to show you why there is no possible wa--" None of the team, not even Shikamaru saw it coming. In what seemed to be one swift second Hinata had pulled out two katana and had Sakura pushed against a tree on the other side of the clearing. Blood ran in tiny streams down Sakura's neck and onto the ground in a small puddle between them.
"Do you have anything else to say Sakura? Anymore insults against me? Anything?"
Sasuke watched in a daze. This wasn't his Hinata. His Hinata wasn't meant to be a fighter. His Hinata wouldn't want this. This Hinata wasn't Hinata, this was Leader-sama.
Sakura gulped quite loudly and looked down hazily. The ground was a few inches below her feet, it hurt to breath, and the wound of the back of her head pulsated in pain. Her thoughts landed along with the rest of the Sasuke's and everyone else's; this couldn't Hinata.

It hadn't turned out as well as she thought it would be. Her team wasn't supposed to be afraid of her. She was glad that they left right after she left Sakura go. Naruto was at Sakura's side in a second, carrying her without looking back at Hinata. The rest eyed her for a minute, watching her fall to her knees and then to floor. Then they left, leaving her and Sasuke alone in the clearing.
It was a long, eerie silence that hung between them. Finally Sasuke turned to leave. "S-Sasuke," Hinata cringed when her voice cracked. He didn't show any signs of listening to her while he walked. "I. . . I think I made a mistake." This got a reaction from him. He whipped around full out glaring at her, burning holes into her soft flesh.
"A mistake? Ha, Hyuga you made a huge mistake. Your team doesn't trust you, I don't trust you. Our agreement is off. I refuse to help anyone who is so stuck-up that she was to give up the biggest secret just so the other can't have it. Your weak and you always will be. No way, shape or form could I help you. You have no connections to me anymore. Weakness is something I can't be around."
Hinata bit her lip, feeling the blood dribble down her chin, adding itself to the tears that silently ran down her cheeks.
"S-Sa-s" He was gone. Hinata finally let out a small wail and sat down messily on the dirt ground, sending a small cloud of dust around her. No matter how much she told herself that everything was going to be okay, she knew she was wrong. Within one day she was out a house, a team, and a best friend, almost lover. Hinata had literally lost everything she had grew to love, even if she had chose some of it.

"So. . . What do you think of this Mistuki?"
The short haired girl smiled softly and looked up into the sky, which had turned a orange-pink color now. "I think Hinata-chan had every right to keep herself a secret, and you fiancé is a hypocritical wench." She watched his face twist into a scowl. "Hush orange kiddo, it was you choice to like her. I truthfully could careless about the pink wench. I just want to help Hinata-chan. She's in pain, it's all around her. What ever Sasuke said to her cut deep. She still hasn't woke up. . ." Mistuki's magenta eyes traveled down from the tree to Hinata's huddled form. "Go home kid, I'll help her, but you need to talk to pinky, she's getting on my nerves."
Naruto looked down at Hinata sadly, then nodded before disappearing into the trees. Mistuki landed soundlessly in the clearing and walked to the ex-heiress in peaceful silence. "Oh Hinata, you poor child. You've lost so much." The usually loud nin kneeled down next to her and placed her palm against Hinata's forehead. Hinata's pain-filled expression instantly calmed and her erratic breathing softened into long puffs. "Sleep peacefully girlie."

As Hinata woke she truly didn't care where she was. She could have been in an alley, a street corner, the training ground, or even a bar, but she was in a bed. It smelt like strawberries. No one she knew smelt like strawberries. Two days ago she would have panicked, but she was happy to keep her pounding head on the nice smelling bed. She cracked open her burning, red eyes as she heard a door open. A scarcely clothed Mistuki danced into the room with a plate full of burnt food and a glass full of juice.
"Morning! How do you feel hon?" Hinata moaned hoarsely as she sat up. "L-Like I've been hit by a ton of bricks." She managed to croak out. The apple juice was thrust into her hands by the older nin as she sat down.
"You had a long night, you talked a lot about Sasuke. . . Do you want talk about it?" Hinata tensed and downed the glass in one gulp, setting it aside. "I'm f-fine Mistuki-chan, thank you for bringing me here." Hinata mumbled to her lap. She listened to Mistuki's bell-like laughter as she stood back up, setting the burnt food on the bed. "It was my pleasure. You're my leader, it was both my duty and my right was a friend." She gracefully walked to a closet across the room and opened it. "I don't have much that would fit you, but here." She threw two items to Hinata then smiled at her, sweetness rolling off her in waves. "Call if you need me, I'm going to calm down some loud idiots in the living-room."
Hinata watched as her team-member left the room. It felt empty without her bubbly team-mate in there with her. She promised herself not to break down again as she changed into the cloths Mistuki gave her. It was a simple black tank top and black shorts, something she could not have worn unless someone, like Mistuki would, forced her. It was a last resort kind of thing.
Her eyes traveled back to her ANBU uniform. It was covered in blood, dirt, and tears. Tank-top and shorts it was. As quickly as possible she changed into the clean cloths and left the room, following the shouts of Mistuki and the mumbling of the people she was yelling at.
When she reached the living room where the yelling came from she stopped full out. Her team, minus one Uchiha avenger, sat on the plush sofa. Everyone looked shamed, well everyone other then Sakura who sat back glaring full well at her. "How could you guys treat her like that! You've known her since the academy day! What kind of friends are you! I bet you her old team-mates would understand why she kept herself secret, so why can't you! I wan-"
"Mistuki-chan, it's okay." Hinata whispered, stopping the angry girl before she busted a blood vessel. Hinata walked timidly to stand next to her, pulling on the bottom of the shorts to keep her modesty. "I-I want to apologize to you all. . . Iie, I shouldn't apologize to you. I had every right to be secretive. I should have kept it a secret and I am sorry for yesterday Sakura-chan, but I-I'm not lowering my status as captain. I am Hinata Hy- I'm Hinata and I'm your leader and you can't change that!"

The team took her speech really well. Naruto teamed up against Sakura and gave her the heart melting smile that years ago turned her into goo. Shikamaru and Ino actually seemed proud of her for standing up for herself. Mistuki gave her a bone crushing hug and laughed before joining the rest of the team. Sakura 'pff'ed and left the home without a word to the rest of the team.
The rest of the day became a bonding for the rest of the team. Hinata took every chance to learn more about the team, but she still was fighting the overpowering urge to cry. After everyone left Mistuki went out to get some eatable food for them. This is when she chose to break down and cry.
No matter how much bonding the team did it wouldn't help without Sasuke and Sakura's help. She was going to have to talk sense into both of them, but she didn't know if she could face Sasuke yet. It was a growing fear that threatened to take over the control she worked so hard to keep in place.
She knew Sasuke was angry with her, and he was very dangerous when he was. She felt very sorry for the person who had to deal with that right now.

It took twenty-four hours for Sasuke to calm down, and that was just so he knew he wouldn't rip out someone's throat. He had hidden himself within the old Uchiha training grounds, taking his aggression out on random objects. He had burnt countless trees, and broken even more things within the training grounds that hadn't been used in over sixteen years.
One female had never gotten him this mad before, not even Naruto had gotten him this mad! Hinata brought out the good and bad with him. They had only personally known each other for a couple weeks, but it had felt like a life-time. It felt like loosing lung, missing a leg, it felt like someone ripped out his new found heart, and it shouldn't have hurt. She had betrayed his trust.
Sasuke sighed and leaned back against the only non-burned tree at the training grounds. He was being such a drama-queen about this! Hinata wouldn't do that, she was Hinata, not Sakura for gods sake. He couldn't just forgive her though, that would mean he had to be wrong, and that wasn't possible, he was Sasuke. She would have to come to him or this would never be settled.
And he would wait until she came to him, forever if took that long.

Sakura, from a young age, had bound and determined to win over Sasuke Uchiha's heart. Hinata's apology meant nothing to her, she could care less about her, as long as she had Sasuke. But right now she didn't have Sasuke, but as long as Hinata didn't she was okay. Now she needed to keep it this way.
And so, the destruction Hinata Hyuga began.
A/N: Wow, that was depressing! I'm going to have to watch something funny now. I did put a lot of Mistuki in this chapter. I wanted to let her grow a bit more before the story ended. So what do you think of her? Sasuke is a total ass-hole in this chapter, and next chapter I'm giving everyone a reason to hate Sakura so expect that next time, bring on the screamo!
Like I said earlier I thought about this story with a passion, and the thought of a sequel came up. That question is still in the air depending on the ending and everyone's view on it.
