Disclaimer: I neither own the anime nor the manga. I'm just borrowing the characters for a while.

I got awesome feedbacks about the fight scene I made in the previous chapter! Thank you everyone!

Previously:

"M- monster…" She breathed. "I… I'll kill you s- someday." She closed her eyes and mustered all the remaining strength in her body. "I promise."

I'll kill you someday. I promise.

He stared at her now muddy face. "Come and try then." With that, he forcefully hit her back with the soles of his sandals.

Then, in her vision, everything became dark.

Chapter 2:

It isn't safe

Hinata slowly opened her eyes. It was not very difficult to penetrate the amount of light inside the room since only a few candles are lit and the cell was too dark. Before doing anything else, she let her eyes roam around the candle lit room.

It was not her own room.

Neither was it one of the hospital rooms.

So where was she?

She concentrated, trying hard to remember what had happened.

Shino, Kiba, and she were traveling to return home… But their trip was abducted by…

So it was not a dream? So it had really happened? So Shino and Kiba were really-

Dead?

Hinata clenched her fists, allowing her fingernails to dig on her palms. Her heart felt so heavy. It hurts so bad that she could not even let herself breathe.

Her friends… Her teammates… Her brothers… Died because of protecting her. It was her fault. Once again, Shino and Kiba suffered the consequences because of her own weakness.

If only she was capable of helping them… If only she had the power to fight with them… If only she wasn't weak… Then maybe Shino and Kiba were still alive and all of them were happily staying at the comfort of their own homes.

Hinata struggled to pull herself up. She sat up on the bed and leaned her back against the board, firmly grasping the white sheet against her chest as she did so. If she would not hold it, it would fall and expose he chest. She was unclothed. Being the conservative lady that she was, she would not let herself be seen naked by anyone although she knew that somebody has taken her cloths off and seen her naked.

Not that it mattered right now.

Her lips began to tremble as tears formed at the corners of her eyes. She held back her tears. She did not want to cry… Not in a place unknown to her.

The image of her teammates' bodies prostrated in the muddy forest ground flashed before her eyes.

Shino and Kiba…

Died because of protecting her.

It was then the tears that she held back spilled. She could not control them as they streamed down from her eyes.

I'm sorry…

"We took your clothes off so you won't get sick or catch cold." Sasuke, who happened to be in the same room as Hinata and who had been closely watching the Hyuuga ever since her eyes opened, said. He was hidden beneath the shadows so the captive was not able to see him. Seeing the Hyuuga cry, he felt the need to explain why she had no clothes on, thinking that it was the reason for her agony. If he was not mistaken, Hinata Hyuuga was a very shy, modest and conservative. Thus, it would hurt her pride to know that somebody has taken advantage of her.

Hinata looked up and searched for the source of the voice. She knew who owned that. It was the ninja who killed her comrades. It was he, Uchiha Sasuke.

Though she was already filled with anger and fear, tears continued to wet her face.

After what he did, he still has the guts to talk to her like nothing happened?

"Y- y- you!" She clutched the white sheet tighter and closer to her chest.

She heard him sigh as he stepped out to the light to reveal himself to her. He still had that expression he wore when he was still in Konoha. Smiling will be a very big issue to him, it seemed. Doesn't he get tired of frowning at everyone?

She pulled her legs closer to her as if frightened that he might cut them or break them. She couldn't trust him. He was… an enemy.

Sasuke noticed that she was trembling. Fear. He couldn't believe that the heiress of the most powerful clan in Konoha was this weak, this pathetic.

"Don't be scared. I'm not going to kill you." He said in his usual cold tone.

Her lower lip quivered as she tried her best to speak out the thoughts inside her head. She wanted to tell him how evil he was for murdering her friends, how she despised him, and how indifferent he was. She also wanted to notify him that she'll send him to hell sooner but her heart and tongue would not comply with her desires.

"You killed them!" That was all she was able to say. With a very little amount of energy left in her body and the pain she was going through right now, it was a miracle for her to say those words without repeating a single syllable.

"And?" He raised a brow. Sasuke wanted her to continue her statement though he knew that she could not possibly say more. It actually didn't matter to him if he killed his co-ninjas in Konoha nor if he made anyone suffer. He was already used to that. Training with Orochimaru required a lot of killings, by the way.

Hinata looked away. She couldn't bare to look at him now that bitter tears were starting to stung in her eyes. She didn't want him to tell her how weak she was or how pitiful she was. She has already heard those quite a thousand times from her father.

"They are weak, that's why it happened to them." He paused and forced her to look at him by lifting her chin. He marveled at her pained expression. "They deserve it."

Sasuke loved it when he sees people suffer. It gave him satisfaction to know that he was not the only unfortunate human being to know how that bitter feeling feels like.

"In this world, the weak dies and the strong survives."

She looked away once again so the she would not to see his smirk. Though Sasuke didn't let a second pass before he forced her to look at him again.

"The people you call friends, who are too weak to match me up, don't deserve a place in this world. You are lucky enough that I spared your life."

When he was about to walk away, Hinata called out to him with a voice that was so strong and firm that sounded as though she was not scared of him. "Sasuke."

He spun around and in a blink of an eye, he was thrown to the wall by a pair of chakra-filled palms.

Hinata collected the white sheet and wrapped it around her body. Using one of her hands and her armpits to secure it on her form, she hastily ran out of the doomed room. She did her best not to trip while running.

While sprinting along the torch-lit corridor, she looked back to check if the Uchiha avenger was following her. To her surprise, she found an empty path.

He would not care if I run away?

Somewhat relieved, she turned her head back to the direction she was heading.

Thud.

She bumped into something. She looked up and saw that the 'something' she bumped into was none other than him –Sasuke.

He looked down at her with his arms crossed over his chest. He seemed as though he was in that spot for minutes already, waiting for her to come.

She froze.

How could he do that?

"Think you could run away from me?" There was humor in his voice. It was evident that he was making fun of her and he was enjoying every second of it.

Sasuke grabbed the wrist of the hand that was close to her chest… The same hand that held the sheet in place. He then gabbed her other wrist, letting the sheet fall on her waist. He set her arms firmly on her sides while he pinned her down on the marble floor.

Without knowing, he had activated his sharingan on the process.

Hinata panted… At the same time, her cheeks were burning red.

Sasuke's red blood orbs met the Hyuuga's snow white ones. As he stared at her gentle eyes, he saw only one emotion. Fear. She was frightened; it was too easy to tell that. But, what was she frightened of?

Him?

Feeling as though he got tired of looking at her face, he let his eyes travel down to her neck… To her collar…

Man, he couldn't control his eyes anymore. It was like they hungered to see something… Something that could be found just a few inches from her collar.

His breathing gradually became slow and heavy. He knew what he would see next if he wouldn't take control of his hungry eyes.

And then he saw what his eyes longed to see –her beautiful set of breasts.

Something built up inside him and made a part of him tighten with so much tension.

Her ample breasts that simply left him gaping and captivated in their state of nakedness drove him slightly mad. Slowly, his red orbs returned to black. Once again, he wasn't aware of it. His lips then suddenly felt dry, so dry. He wanted to lick them but he didn't want to hurt his pride by giving her the impression that she caught him defenseless. For years, he was able to live without a woman, and he will never break that lifelong record until he really needed to.

He remained gawking at her.

Her arms on her sides, the strands of her long indigo hair sticking to her skin because of sweat, the white sheet covering her lower half, her breathing steady and slow which makes her bosom rise and, for the lack of a better term, fall, and him on top of her. Damn. She looked so erotic that no man could control himself once he's in Sasuke's shoes.

Kami, if he wanted to, he could do anything he desired to her. He knew he could do anything, everything to satisfy himself… If he wanted to… If he wanted to…

He gulped.

Now it was just a matter of choice. Of his choice.

She couldn't say no to him. He was in total control of everything. She may try squirming but he was way stronger than her and her attempts to push him off will be in vain for sure.

As for Hinata, she was watching him closely. She didn't miss the moment his eyes looked at the part no man has ever seen.

PERVERT!

She wanted to cry… She wanted to be eaten up by the ground. At this moment, dying would be a glorious blessing from Kami.

It felt like losing her dignity as a woman and as a Hyuuga. The members of a Hyuuga family were known for being conservative people. They will surely kill her once they knew about this situation she was currently into. The Hyuuga heiress half naked in front of an Uchiha and letting him see one of the two parts of a woman's body that should be kept hidden from the eyes of men.

Actually, she wasn't letting him see her in such state. It's just that she doesn't have any other choice. If only she could, she will push him off her and run away. However, he was stronger than her. The way his hands held her arms in position, and the way his knees jammed hers on the floor made it hard for her to move an inch and cover her body from his wandering eyes. She had another choice, though. She could scream at him and tell him to stop staring or rather gawking at her since he was making her feel terribly embarrassed. But then, if she were to do that, he may do to her what he did to her teammates. She wouldn't like that to happen. She will take his life first before she dies.

"Uchiha." She knew it was rather disrespectful of her not to add the suffix '-san' to his name. But then, it didn't matter anymore. He wasn't someone who deserves respect, anyway.

Sasuke averted his gaze from her breasts to her face, his mouth slightly gaping.

"Get off me." She tried to make it sound like a command but her voice failed her.

He hesitated at first but he then decided that a ninja should not keep hentai thoughts inside his head. He stole one last glance at her chest before standing up and dusting his pants off.

That was close…

Hinata, little by little, sat up and covered her exposed body parts with the white sheet, She was holding back her tears in the process.

"Don't… do that again." Surprisingly, it was Sasuke who said that.

She looked up at him, her byakugan threatening to activate because of the pressure.

Don't do that again? Like he has the right to tell! Like he-

"It isn't safe for you."

Sensing the slight concern from his icy voice, she said yes. Does she have any choice, anyway? In this world, or rather in the world where the legendary sannin -Orochimaru- and the Konoha heartthrob -Sasuke Uchiha-, she -the weak Hyuuga Hinata- doesn't have the right to say no. Sasuke and Orochimaru were the gods. They were the ones in position to tell her what she should do with her worthless life.

How long will I have to stay here and suffer? Hinata thought sadly.
