A/N: Wow, I've almost finished a story! It's a miracle! You guys have no idea how happy all of you made me with all your reviews. I personally think I've improved since the beginning of 'You're Weak' and I'd love for someone to edit all the chapters and make them perfect, and maybe help me with my upcoming story too. Contact me if your interested
I'd like to thank you all for the reviews. My slow updating does not deserve you all.
THEY KILLED DEI-KUN!!! So I haven't been keeping up to date with the manga, and in a vain attempt to catch up I over looked Dei-kun dying, and apparently a lot more! My readers, I beg you to fill me in past that. Any important information would be appreciated.
Holy crap, almost three months?! I'm such a bad person. . .
Disclaimer! Trust me, I seriously don't own.
Listening To: Where'd Your Go - Basshunter
You're Weak
Be the Long Awaited Answer
A slap was heard around the wood, ringing out loud enough for the nin training in the area to hear.. "N-no. . ." Hinata muttered for the third time. "Don't touch me! You. . . Your sick. . . bastard!" Her strong words were proved false by a weak sniff she created. "Just. . . Just please touch me." Sasuke let her arm go and look to the side, denied. He missed her tear filled eyes, begging to be released from their prison.
"Gomen." Though it was whispered Hinata heard it clear as day as it traveled through the wind. Her tears finally fell while she smiled sadly, causing Sasuke to flinch. "G-gomen?" Her arms had made their way around her body, acting as a shield and support as she faced her biggest fear. "Uchiha-san," Another flinch. "gomen is the only thing you have to say to me? Y-you must be sorely mistaken. . . No." That word seemed to be a big role in her vocabulary lately. "You've lied once, why should I believe your apologizes now?"
Her hair flung about as she shook her head, turning her heel and walking away at demon speed.
"I hate you." Hinata's whisper was carried away by a passing blow of wind, barely making it to the male standing oh so far from her. It hurt her, it hurt him. Those three simple words seemed to break the last bond they both held onto. Those three words were back fired by Sasuke's whisper, which was missed by her and almost by himself.
"I love you." To little, to late.

"Tsunade-sama, thank you for seeing me." Bowing in respect Hinata sat down carefully, almost hating how the cushioned seat felt under her. It all just made her sick. "I-I've came in request of a one-man mission, preferably B rank." The hokage stared sadly at the ex-heiress, the room seemed just a bit sadder with her in it. The air around her sad and lonely, her aura burned out. "Hinata, out of all due respect I doubt your in the right state of mind for any mis-"
"No!" Hinata looked up finally, proving the older woman's assumptions. Her eyes were blood shot from crying and her face seemed just a little paler then usual, letting the blackness under her eyes show. She had been crying, and most her sleeping pattern was off by to much. "I. . . I need this. Please, just this one mission." Tsunade's honeyed eyes look out the window, eyeing the statues as if looking for the answer.
"Hinata. . . If I give you this mission you need to promise, no swear your won't be . If you are injured I will be forced to take the necessary actions of you being hospitalized until your back into the ANBU captain I know and admire." Hinata pulled the largest smile she could and nodded, standing up straight. "I swear." She all but sighed in relief as she was handed the mission scroll, and then she was gone.

A light chuckle echoed through Sasuke Uchiha's once quiet living room. "For a genius you sure are dumb, and that's coming from me." Tired, and possibly sleep depraved, coal eyes met striking blue. "What do you want dobe?" Even his voice sounded drained.
"Hrm, just here with a tid-bit of information. Hinata's going on a mission." He watched his best friend shrug and dive back into the sofa. He himself sighed and jumped down the his window seat. He lazily pushed Sasuke with his foot, frowning. "A big mission at that. Possibly deadly." Still not seeing a reaction he pouted and turned to make his leave. "This might be Hinata's last mission, ever. Maybe you should see her off. You did push her to take such a risky mission. . ."
He couldn't help but smile as he leapt out the open window, seeing Sasuke push himself off the sofa and bolt out the door. "And he calls me dumb."
"Well he wouldn't be wrong now would he?" Mistuki laughed, suddenly at his side, running with equal easiness. "So why did you trick the damned fool? It's a simple delivery mission, nothing life threatening." She watched Naruto curiously as they neared his hiding place near the gates. His smile burst threw the darkness of the night, the famous Naruto grin.
"Because what kind of teme sex god does his own tricks? He needs a dobe like me to get his sorry ass in gear." Mistuki laugh joined his as they concealed themselves, watching Hinata talk idly with Kiba, who took guard duty that night.
"And the one true light to magic love is jealously!" Mistuki began to worry for her own IQ level the more time she spent asking this man questions.

She had left.
It was sort of obvious seeing as no one stood near the gates. Oddly enough, not even the guards stood on duty. Sasuke landed gracefully and looked out the open gates longfully.
She had left, he was to late. He had driven off the woman he loved, and in doing that most likely sent her on a suicide mission. With his head bent he damned himself.
Meanwhile, down the street, Hinata stood frowning. On her face she was sickened, her heart was quite the opposite, it longed to hold him and tell him that none of it mattered, but it did. She sighed, watching his head lift and meet her gaze.
"Hinata." Nervously, she fiddled with her backpack, dropping his gaze for the dull brown ground. "W-" A deep, shuddering, breath. "Why are you here Sasuke?"
He ignored her question. "I thought you had left." Had he had less of an IQ he would have straight out jumped on her, hell, he barely contained hugging her. "This time let me talk." He watched her brows bunch together, confused. "W-w-we've talked S-Sas-"
"No, you've talked. Don't I get a side of the story?" She couldn't help but smile lightly at his smirk. It was like second nature. "F-fine, four minutes."
Carefully, he neared Hinata. Uchiha's never feared, but Hinata was hell of scary when she was mad. He has seen first hand her anger towards him. After a moment he stood in front of her, cupping her face like a delicate figurine in-between his hands. "Thank you."
"I thought you'd forgive me. I thought you had came back to me, when Sakura," He swore her heard her growl. "showed up. I swear on my life, on my clan name, that I didn't let her in." His hands gripped her shoulders, staring intently on her face, no more then inches between them. "I'm not going to lie to you, I did kiss her. But kami, Hinata. . ." He paused, watching her near emotionless face. He had worn off on her as much as she had on him.
"So. . . Y-you kissed her? Did you enjoy it?" She felt mean, almost evil after she had spoken. Kicking him in the stomach would have been less painful then her words. "Gomen. . ." Sasuke stayed silent for a few more minutes, savoring her warmth so close to him. He truly missed standing so near her.
"I can't love anyone but you Hinata." Now that he had spoken enough to almost hurt his throat for the night, he readied himself for the worse. "You-"
"Oi! Hi.na.ata!!!" Both sighed, almost deflated by the crash and burn of their moment. Offering a small smile to Sasuke, Hinata turned around and waved towards Kiba. "Kiba-kun, I didn't expect you back so soon. How was dinner?" He met Kiba's challenging eyes from behind Hinata.
Sasuke was now a hundred percent sure jealously would be the death of him.

"Mistuki-chan! It hurts!" The green eyed woman frowned down at Naruto, cleaning his wounds as best as she could. Sasuke had gotten a hold of him. Ultimately, the Uchiha avenger found out about Naruto's little white lie, and made him pay for every word he had forced himself to say to Hinata. It equaled out to a lot of cuts and bruises.
Mildly bleeding and tired is how Mistuki dragged him home, and this is how he would stay until she cleaned his wounds and bandaged them. She was no medical nin, that was for sure. Her bottom lip disappeared under her front teeth as she plotted out her questions now that she has Naruto sitting still.
"So. . . Why didn't Sakura do this for you?" As innocent as the question was, she felt him tense under her fingers. To keep him from rising she continued to clean his wounds. "You haven't been in any better condition then Leader-sama since you found out. . ."
"Stop worrying Mistuki-chan. I kind of saw it coming. . ." Mistuki eyed him sadly, watching his usual light burn dimmer then ever before. She felt obliged to cheer him up.
"You'll find someone way better then skank-san, Naruto-kun." Her smile became one to rival his, finishing his bandages finally. "Only a stupid woman would pass you up like that, even Leader-sama liked you!" Her laugher only doubled at his shocked expression.
"Wait?! When did Hinata-chan like me?"
"Baka. . ."

And two weeks later Hinata returned. Unharmed, and without as heavy of a heart as she thought she had.
Because he was there when she slugged up to the gates, tired and in major need of a shower. And he still said it.
"I love you."
A/N: I seriously cried this whole chapter at ten-thirty in the evening. My parents must think I'm insane. I don't know if it was the song or my poor attempt at writing though.
Does that kind of cover everything?
One more chapter!
Blech, as crappy as this chapter was, reviews would make me sooo much happier:D
