Thunder Heart...Ch 6
Sorry for the looooooooooooong wait. I hope you forgive me and enjoy. Don't forget to review. PS absolutely NO SASUKE/NARUTO in this chapter.
"You like H-Hinata?" Sasuke asked him.
"She's a good friend, I think I like Hinata-" those words made his heart stop and he didn't even know why "-with you." Naruto said. Sasuke frowned "-with me. Are you listening to what you're saying?" he asked.
"Yes, and why not?-" he stopped "-opposites attract." he had to be kidding, right?
Sure she'd hugged and made him relaxed him when there was a storm but that didn't mean anything.
Naruto' eyes sadden "- I hurt her Sasuke, I just want to see her happy."
"-What makes you think I can make her hap-" he stopped "-I can't even make myself happy."
Naruto' knew about his family "-I know you Sasuke I know you can make her happy, it's just a matter of time" the small yet serious conversation soon ended with a loud BOOM!
"Oh, Kami!" Naruto yelled once again falling from his seat.
Sasuke saw the lighting flash and his body began to tremble "-Sasuke?" he'd black out the thunder and lighting was to much, his hand shook he no longer could hold on to his tea.
"-Oi, Sasuke?" Naruto said once again.
BOOM! Thunder once again, Naruto didn't say anything else but stood up and hugged him, "I'M SCARED"
Sasuke' first reaction to push him back, "Get off me baka!"
"-I'M SCARED-" Naruto yelled hugging him once again, Sasuke pushed him once more, "I said get off!"
Naruto sat back and grin "-you're worse than Saukra-chan, last time there was a thunderstorm I hugged her and I wasn't scared anymore-"
"Well, I'm not her-"
"I know that, because last time I hugged her she knocked me out cold that I didn't hear the thunder." he grinned, Sasuke looked at Naruto "Dobe!"
...
Kurenai team stopped as they noticed the rain was pouring now, lucky for them they had found a small cave in which they all fit. Hinata was towards the back of the cave as Shino was too.
"Man I hate rain!" Kiba growled as Akamaru barked in agreement "Makes everyone small like wet dog!" how ironic for him.
Shino had the curiosity and asked "Might I ask who we are escorting?" Kurenai turned to face him "Right, I haven't told you huh?" Kurenai began "-she is from-"
BOOM, the thunder made Kurenai stop in midsentence and saw that Hinata had jumped and looked outside, it was now pouring outside.
"Are you alright Hinata?" Kurenai sensei asked her, they had set up camp just two miles from Konoha, the storm had gotten worse "-Hai, I just umm d-don't like s-storms"
"Really? I find them relaxing" Kurenai told her with a smile.
"How is something so loud relaxing?" Kiba asked as covered his ears. Kurenai smiled "-it just is." she said.
"Kurenai?" Shino asked Kurenai again. Right she still hadn't told them about who they are going to escort.
"Right sorry, we will be escorting Shibuki from the Waterfall village to Suna and here to Konoha. His father had asked of him to give some of the hero water to both the Kazekage and our Hokage, to protect since a lot of rouges want their hands on it. He thought Konoha and Suna would be great at protecting it"
Hinata looked outside and thought to herself "It'll take a week or so to-" she bit her lip, she was really worried for Sasuke, it looked like this storm wasn't going anywhere anytime soon. Kurenai looked at her shy student "Hinata?"
She's been out-of-it since they had left Konoha "Anything wrong?"
"N-no, it's just that-" she bit her lips. Kurenai knew it was something important she smiled and looked at Shino and Kiba who had a worried expression on their face, obviously they were worried for Hinata
"Hinata if you'd like to go back to Konoha-"
"N-no-" she would be lying if she said she didn't want to "-the mission goes f-first"
Kurenai knew Hinata wasn't the type of girl to just leave on a mission; she didn't want to disappoint her teammates.
"We'll be fine" Kurenai smiled sweetly, she looked outside and she had noticed the storm had taken a rest, but she knew the next part would be here soon "Go before the next part of the storm comes"
Hinata made her way to the front of the cave and looked back at them, with a smile and a bow she said
"T-thank you, I promise I will make this up to you-"
"You can just make your beef rice balls and we'll call it even" Kiba smiled "-no hurry" Shino nodded agreeing with both the rice balls and to hurry before the storm came once more.
She thanked them once more and ran towards Konoha, towards Sasuke, who she hoped had made it through the storm.
...
Three hours had gone by and now it was drizzling, the second part of the storm was soon to come, he just needed to get past that. Naruto had fallen asleep on the floor hugging his tea cup.
Sasuke hadn't been able to rest since the storm but he had managed to pass through the storm without the blonde figuring out he was terrified of it.
"R-ra-ramen!" Naruto dreamed as he bit the cup "-yummy" he said falling asleep again.
"What a storm" Sasuke said with a shaky feeling in this stomach, he and Naruto managed to not freak out, that much. He looked at the window and wondered how long Hinata' mission would take for her to come- wait hold up he did not just think of her.
Sure she helped him with his 'unpleasant dislike of storms' but…he liked that he felt safe around her, the storm only looked like nothing.
Sasuke saw Naruto slowly getting up, still holding onto the teacup he wiped his eyes with the back of his hand "Sasuke?" Sasuke didn't move but answered with his usual 'hm?' Naruto looked at him and said "-I know you're scared of storms."
Sasuke' body stiffened but still didn't say anything "I don't like storms, that doest mean-"
"It's okay; I'm not going to tell anyone." Naruto told him.
Sasuke furrowed his brows "I just don't feel comfortable around a storm that's all" Sasuke told him which Naruto grin at "I figured. Same here." he laughed, and then asked "-is that why you let me stay?"
Sasuke frowned "No!" Naruto laughed "Aw come on, you know it's true!" he grinned at him.
"Ow!" Sasuke smacked him "Shut up!" he told him he sighed. Maybe talking to the dobe will make him feel bit at ease, he looked at Naruto and began to tell him "Ever since I was little, I didn't like them..."
Sasuke remembered the lighting after; he had found his family, all cold and lifeless. Sasuke shook his head and felt a burning sensation in his throat.
He looked at Naruto who smiled at him "I'm glad you trust me with this, Sasuke" the smile never fading away "-don't hate me but-" he scratched the back of his head "well umm Iruka-sensei"
"Go" Sasuke told him, he wasn't mad, he knew Naruto would never miss a meal with Iruka especially one from Ichiraku. "If you want me to, I'll come back after I finish"
Sasuke shook his head "I'll be fine. I swear Naruto, if anything comes out of your mouth-"
"I won't" he told him with his usual grin. He out the teacup on the table and said he'll come to check on him later.
He was alone, looking at the sky he saw the dark clouds slowly move even more towards the center of the village, lighting managed to escape once or twice and making itself visible to the village.
His heart raced, he made his way towards the center of the house, where of all places he felt…safer.
She ran almost reaching the village; she looked up seeing some lighting was seen with in the clouds.
"Almost there" she thought to herself. She had reached the front gate, of course Kotetsu and Izumo greeted her "Come back from your mission already Hinata?" Kotetsu asked.
Hinata shook her head "She g-gave me permission to leave. I was j-just on my way to see Lord H-Hokage to report to him" she looked up at the sky "I h-have-"
"You don't have to explain to him, Hinata. I'm sure what you have to do is as important as the escort. Plus Shino and Kiba can handle a C-ranked mission" Izumo told her "Go" he said with a smile.
She took small breaths "Thank you" and ran toward the tower before she headed to the Uchiha compound.
"Hinata come in-" she heard the voice of the Hokage, she opened the door and bow "Hello L-Lord Hokage" a smile appeared on his face. "Kurenai sensei has given me permission to leave the mission of escorting Shibuki to Suna and here to Konoha"
Sarutobi nodded "I understand it's okay" he told her. Sarutobi looked at her and asked "Now with curiously I have to ask, what is important to you that you came here in such a rush"
"I want to h-help someone with a fear-" Sarutobi looked at the girl with a smile on her face
He had let the smoke of the pipe he had once Hinata had entered and asked "A fear?" Hinata nodded and answered "He thinks he's a-alone in a cloudy day, I j-just want to show him the way to the sun."
Sarutobi smiled at the shy Hyuuga "Would this happen to be the last of the Uchiha's?" Hinata blushed brighter and nodded "Go, the storm in soon going to show its rage upon the village before the sun rises once more"
"Thank you" Sarutobi saw her bow and leaving the office. The rain began to fall, she was almost there, BOOM the first thunder was heard with in the village.
BOOM, he froze and stood still, he started to shake without realizing it. "N-not again" he said with shaken up voice. He heard a knock at the front door but he didn't move.
"S-Sasuke?" she called out, was he here? Maybe he stayed at Naruto' place. It was now pouring and flashes of lighting appeared a few times.
"S-Sasuke" he heard his name being called "Hinata?" he said walking towards the door. He slid it open to see two beautiful light lavender eyes looking at him worriedly "Hinata?" he still couldn't believe it was her.
He reached and touched her cheek, she was wet "I'm here Sasuke, a-are you okay?" she asked. She was real. It felt like a ton of pressure was lifted of his shoulders "Hinata" he said her name again.
"Hinata?" the way he said her name, he was scared she nodded but semi-froze as she felt his hand touches her cheek she smiled and soon felt a blush upon them.
His hand still on her cheek she said "I'm here Sasuke, a-are you okay?" he looked at her, he was still shaken but said her name once more "Hinata" she didn't say anything once she felt her embrace her.
He needed to hug her, he needed to know 100% sure that she was real. He embraced her; she stood there until he felt her arm wrap around his waist "I'm h-here Sasuke"
"Thank you" she heard him say "Thank you, Hinata"
