I don't own NARUTO

.:Last Time:.

"Are you ok? Did he hurt you?" he asked her softly. She shock her head, yes.

He looked down at her and notice blood.

"Hinata…" but she had already passed out, fainted, there in his arms.

Unknown to any of them someone with green eyes had seen the encounter and had gotten a very wicked evil idea, while doing so.

Chapter 12: Bittersweet Awakening

Sasuke picked her up in his arms bridal style and hurry to the hospital. Leavening everyone behind confused. Kakashi and Gai left Naruto after making sure he wouldn't try to go after Sasuke. Kakashi really didn't wanted to spend all day separating the two, after all.

Naruto stood in the middle of the street wiping blood from his mouth and rubbing his head. When out of nowhere someone came up behind him and place a hand on his shoulder. He turned around to see green eyes with wicked intentions.

"Naruto, how would you like to take revenge on Sasuke and Hinata?" asked the person with green eyes that had witness the whole scene.

"What do you propose?" asked Naruto with a grin on his face.

"Well, lets go to my house and talk"

"Sure" and they both left to make plans on how to separate Konoha's newest couple.

***

Sasuke enter Hinata's room after the doctor and nurse left. Hinata laid on the bed with bandages on her head. The wound on the head hadn't been as bad as he first thought. He was reliefed. The doctor explain that it had just been a small cut. And since it was located on the head, it bleed more then usual but it was noting to worry about. She could wake up any minute, the doctor had told him.

He took a sit beside her and took her hand in his. She looked so calm and beautiful. Her dark hair contrasted with the white of the bed and that made her look even prettier. He was angry and ashamed of himself. How could he have thought for a minute that she had let Naruto kiss her after what he did to her. When he heard her call out to him, he had been shock. And when he realized what was really happening, something came over him. A need to protect her and keep her save form Naruto and anyone else that try to hurt her.

He felt Hinata's hand move and looked at her as she open her eyes. When her eyes landed on him, she smile.

"Sasuke" she whispered.

"How are you feeling?" he asked, with concern in his voice.

"My head hurts, but I guess that's to be expected, right?" she said.

"I guess"

"Sasuke, thank you" she said and smile at him.

"Sleep, you need to rest" he said

"Sasuke, come closer" she said and Sasuke came closer. All of the sudden, a kiss was place on his lips. "Will you be here, when I wake up?" He nodded

"Promise?" He nodded his head again "Ok, I'll sleep then" she said and close her eyes. In a matter of minutes she was back into the land of dreams.

Sasuke could still feel the sensation of her lips on his. Even though it had been a small quick kiss, it still made his body fell all tingly inside. And yes, he decided, he liked the feeling. Although he wish the kiss would have lasted longer then a second, but then again that could easily be arranged when she woke up, he thought. All kinds of ideas started filling up his head. Ideas that involve him and her, alone for a long time.

His thoughts were interrupted when someone burst through the door without even knocking. Someone that was suppose to be in a long sleep and had no specific day of wakening. The same someone that would ruin all the plan he had just made for when Hinata woke up.

"What happen to her?" he demanded as he walk to Hinata's side. Behind him was the blonde kunoichi that ran a flower shop.

"Neji, when did you wake up?"

"This morning, what happen to her?"

"Naruto" Sasuke said and explain the whole thing to him.

"Damn Naruto, I'll kill you for this." Neji said, more to himself then to Sasuke.

"Will she be ok, Sasuke?" asked Ino

"Yeah, she's just sleeping" Sasuke answered her.

"Ino, go home and get some rest. I've to stay here with Hinata" said Neji

"I understand" Said Ino "Sasuke, will you walk me home? I think Neji wants to be alone with Hinata."

Neji glared at her. She knew what it meant, he didn't wanted Sasuke to walk her home. Ino just smile at him and took Sasuke's arm and lead him away. "Bye, Neji"

When they were outside the hospital Ino turn back to look at Sasuke "You don't have to walk me home if you don't want to" she said and stared walking

Sasuke didn't say anything, he just followed her.

"So, you and Neji?" asked Sasuke after a while.

"How did you know?" she asked

"The look he gave you when you ask me to walk you home"

"Oh! Yes, me and Neji." Ino said, "So, why are you walking me home?"

"To make Neji mad" said Sasuke smirk.

"Sasuke you're evil. I don't know how Hinata puts up with you." said Ino teasingly.

***

The more Neji looked at Hinata on the bed, the more he wanted to kill Naruto. Someone knock on the door and then opened it. It was Hanabi.

"So, you here." she said "I went to your room and no one was there. When did you wake up?" She asked

"This morning"

"That's great. So how is my sis?"

"She's ok, just sleeping. So what are you doing here?"

"Oh, I just return from a mission and I decided to came by before going home. Hiashi doesn't let me go anywhere other then mission. So what are you going to do about him?"

"What do you mean?" Neji asked confused

"Well, he try to kill Hinata, remember?" she said

"WHAT?"
