Chapter 4: Sasuke's pain

He didn't know why his heart thumped every time he saw her. It just did the flippy thing. On its own. It happened ever since he saw her in the beginning of the school year. He didn't even know she existed – that is until that one day.

He was running away from a crowd of fan girls and hid in the library. There, his cold, black eyes saw a very enchanting sight. There was a beautiful girl with midnight blue hair, lavender eyes, and the most graceful look on her face. The light reflected off of her, creating such an elegant picture.

Since then, although he wasn't aware of it, he always wanted to be near her….

--------

Hinata strided down the streets, making her way back home. It was a Sunday –no school- and she just came back from a little lunch at yet another ramen bar with her friends. Her stomach didn't feel too well from the grease in the ramen. Truthfully, she hated ramen, but all of her friends seemed to like it, so Hinata –being the kind girl that she is- didn't complain.

She went strolling by when she spotted someone- a guy squatting down in the corner of a dead-end alley; as if he was hiding.

Curious, Hinata walked up to the boy, squat down next to him, and tapped his shoulder. She gasped as she saw blood red eyes staring straight at her.

"U-uchiha-san?" he glared at her, "w-what are you doing h-here?"

"Why would you care?"

"B-because it's weird for someone" -'basically you' she thought- "to be h-here."

"I'm hiding from…forget it."

This was a very awkward moment. She looked at Sasuke-he didn't seem like himself. Well, yeah, he looked like himself, but he just had a different face on, as if he was wearing a mask. Like he was lost and lonely. And…and there was a bruise on his cheek?!?

"Uchiha-san…are you okay?"

'NO. I am not.' He thought. "…yeah" he managed to let out

"w-what happened?"

"I said NOTHING"

"uh…o-ok.." she said, "then.. I'll be going."

She got up to leave when Sasuke stood up and in a barely hearable voice said, "wait"

They were both surprised by what happened. 'OH snap.' Sasuke thought, 'what now?'

"eh…uh..can..can I talk to you?" sasuke asked, looking away, shuffling his jet black hair.

HInata was shocked. 'Why me?'

"uh…i-I guess…" she stuttured. He grabbed her hand and carefully, trying to avoid the fangirls, made his way towards a bench at the park. Hinata was still red from when sasuke touched her.

Ok…so he wanted to talk. And here they were, but he was silent and really started to scare Hinata.

Sasuke wanted to tell. He wanted to tell her everything. He wanted to rid his pain. Why her?-he didn't know. He..he just needed someone.

"I..I" sasuke felt water in his eyes. 'Not now damn it!' Too bad they started to fall down his cheeks. Sasuke placed his face on his palms. He wanted to cry the pain off.

"s-sasuke-san!" Hinata exclaimed; worried, scared, and –again- shocked, "a-are you ok?"

'Sasuke.' She thought, 'CRYING!?!'

He tugged at his shirt near his chest.

"it hurts" he sobbed. He couldn't believe what he was doing.

'you're so weak!' he bit his lips and tried to calm himself down. Hinata, not knowing what to do, did the one thing that she always did when people cried; she hugged him. She didn't know why. She must have felt sorry for him…yeah…she just felt sorry for him

--------------------------

Hinata walked home, still confused about what happened and whether it was a dream or not. 'SO the great uchiha wasn't that great after all.'

-flashback-

"I…I always feel alone.' Sasuke told her, after he finished –cough cough- crying, "My parents died in a car accident when I was three. So my older brother and I had to live with our aunt&uncle. My uncle was always drunk and hit me or my brother. My aunt pretended to love me when she doesn't. those fangirls remind me of her…" –shudder- "she doesn't even care if our uncle hits us. It was like this for a while until one day…"-clenh fist- " my brother hit my uncle hard…and my uncle became disabled. After that hit, my brother ran away."

Hinata looked at him with horror.

"He left me." Sasuke continued, still not looking at her. "the one and only person i trusted left me" –forced laugh- "and this" –touches the bruised cheek- "I got it from my uncle today." He was quiet.

Hinata was speechless. "Why do you keep it all in?"

"I don't want people to think I'm weak. I want to be strong. And get away from this life." He replied.

"well.." hinata said, trying to comfort him, "It's ok…just a year and…and you'll be away from him…at college."

Sasuke looked up at Hinata and gave her a small smile (yes…I know VERY unlike Sasuke…)

"I dunno why I told you everything…but…but I'm kinda glad I did" and he walked away.

For once in his life he felt the light again…the light of the world…while Hinata was still shocked by how much the Uchiha has surprised her today.

--------------------------------------

Wearily, as she approached her front door, she turned the knob and entered. A blur of Ino popped up and disappeared as she felt the weight of her hugging & choking her.

"HINATA!!" she shouted, "WE'RE GOING ON A TRIP!!!!!!!!"
