Chapter Twenty- three
I will defeat you
&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&
Reno ran towards Akira punching him in the stomach and in the face. "You think you can defeat me? YOU CAN NEVER DEFEAT ME" He yelled in a crazed tone as he continued punching him.
Reno head went from left to right like a million times as Reno was punching him in the face. "AHHH" He screamed out in pain as he was being punched.
The Uchiha just stood there watching the scene before him. Seeing this reminded him of him and his brother. Anger started to overflow in Sasuke as he ran towards Reno and punched him in the jaw. Reno went flying across the forest grounds.
Akira looked up at Sasuke in shocked. "Why…Why did you do that?" He asked as he looked at the Uchiha.
"Don't get any ideas. I'm not trying to help you…just that guy" He glares at the man as he was struggling to stand up. "That guy reminds me of someone that I detest" He snarled as he continued to glare at Reno.
"You're in my way kid" He frowned as he walked towards Sasuke but stopped about a foot away from him. Sasuke remind silent as he looked at him.
"This fight has nothing to do with you. I don't even know who you are or why you're here…and I don't care I just want you out of MY WAY" He ran towards Sasuke and delivered a punch to his stomach.
"I don't like it when weaklings interfere in my fights you got that…kid" He stated as he glared down hard at the Uchiha. Sasuke stood up while smirking in a devious way.
"I'm afraid I don't" He yelled as he ran towards Reno. "Chidori!" Sasuke yelled as he performed his hand seal and was now running towards Reno with the Chidori. Reno's eyes widened at the sight of the Uchiha running towards him with the attack.
"What is that thing?" He thought as he ran towards Sasuke ignoring the Chidori that was in his hand. "Funny you know I have a little trick up my sleeve as well" Reno performed a hand seal only one hand as he was running towards Sasuke.
"Electro-ball no jutsu" Reno smirked as an electric ball form in his hand about the same size as the chidori. Sasuke looked at the electro-ball for a moment but his thoughts were cut since Reno was no longer in front of him.
Sasuke stopped and look around with the Chidori still in his hand. "Looking for me are we" Reno smirked as he raised his hand with the electro-ball in it as he was launching the hand towards Sasuke but vines grabbed his hand.
"What the hell?" Reno looked in the direction where the vines were coming from as did Sasuke.
"Tch…kid what do you think you're doing?" Reno snarled as he looked at Akira.
"What does it look like…I'm not going to let you hurt anyone anymore" He yelled.
"Hydro-blast no jutsu" Akira inhaled a deep breath and released as gallons of water came blasting out his mouth and towards Reno. Reno eyes widened as the water hit him making him get washed up in the gallons of water.
Sasuke stared at Akira who was looking at Reno as he was walking pass Sasuke. "You may be just helping me because you say that Reno remind you of someone you detest…but I'm going to protect you from Reno…I will not let him kill anyone else" He stated as he continued walking.
Sasuke stared at Akira in shock. Was this the same guy that was just trying to kill him a few moments ago?
"Reno is powerful…he isn't dead yet. Don't let your guard down" Akira stated as he slightly turned his head back to look at Sasuke. Sasuke frowned.
"I'm not going to let my guard down for anything" He stated as he frowned but then he smirked. "…Akira" Akira smirked but before he knew it he was being lifted into the air. He was gasping for air as he was being held up in the air.
"It feels like someone is choking me…I-I can't breath" He thought as he winced from pain.
Sasuke looked up in the air and then back down as he glared at Reno who had his hand up in the air with his hand positioned like he was choking someone. Reno smirked as he looked at Akira.
"Die…brat" He said as he squeezed his hand together even more.
"GAH AHHH" Akira yelled out in pain. Sasuke frowned as he looked at the older guy.
"TEME" Sasuke yelled as he ran towards Reno and started punching him. Reno never once repositioned his hold on Akira who was in the air still so he fought Sasuke his one hand.
"Kid you think you can defeat me? Don't make he laugh" He smirked. Sasuke looked at Reno and smirked.
"I think you're forgetting something" Reno looked at Sasuke and noticed that the Chidori was still in his hand. Sasuke thrust the chidori in Reno's stomach causing Reno to fall to the ground and loosen his hold on Akira making Akira fall to the ground.
Akira fall with thump as he looked up at Sasuke who was standing over Reno getting ready to attack him again but Akira stopped him.
"Let me handle this" Sasuke looked into Akira eyes looking at Reno and noted his hatred for the guy. Sasuke nodded as he took a step back.
Akira looked at Reno who was wincing in pain. "Heh I thought that you couldn't be defeated?"
Reno glared at the blue haired ninja as he slowly made himself sit up. "I'm not defeated yet…nor will I be" Reno stated as he tried to punch Akira but Akira's hand stopped his fist.
"Or so you say" Akira bent back Reno's balled up fist noting the crack noise as he bent it back. "I hear I broke a bone…I think I like the sound of that" Akira smiled in a devious evil way. "Let's break some more bones" Sasuke watched in horror as Akira broke all of Reno's fingers, legs and arms.
"This guy…" Sasuke thought as he looked at Akira.
"Now for I little trick I think you might remember very well…Magen: Jubaku Satsu" Reno watched as Akira disappeared soon to follow him being tied with the tree.
Reno eyes widened. "Do you remember…this is the same technique you use to kill my sister"
"She was never your sister…" Reno spat at Akira. Akira smirked. "No-No she wasn't but she was like an older sister to me and you killed her…with no regrets" Akira hissed. Sasuke watched the two from a foot away.
"You know this is the moment that I've been waiting for…the moment to kill you…and it's here now" Akira watched Reno's eyes movements and noticed that he was scared.
"Afraid are we? Knowing that you can't do anything but sit there and die. I broke your legs so you can't move, I broke your arms so you can't break free…and I broke all your fingers so you can't make hand seals" Akira laughed in an evil way causing Sasuke to stare at him.
"Now…That I-"
"Please…p-please don't kill me" Reno pleaded as he looked at Akira. Akira eyes widened for a split second before they darkened.
"ISN'T THAT WHAT SHE SAID BEFORE YOU KILLED HER? And you expect me to let you live…I don't think so not after what you did to Mai…" Akira lifted his kunai and looked at Reno.
"So long…Reno" Akira slashed his throat as blood splattered over his face. Sasuke eyes widened as he watched the scene before him.
Akira's hair covered his eyes as he stood up blood dripping off his hand as he looked at the ground.
"I finally did it Mai-neechan…I avenged your death…I killed him…I killed Reno" He stated as he looked up in the sky. Sasuke looked at Akira. He had blood all over his face and hands. Sasuke shook off all his thoughts a he got back into his stance and looked at Akira with a serious expression.
Akira looked at Sasuke. "You want to fight me still?" Akira asked as he looked at Sasuke. Sasuke said nothing but remained in his stance.
"Heh…I see but I no longer wish to fight you" He stated as he turned his back on Sasuke.
"N-Nani?" The Uchiha whispered but loud enough for Akira to hear him.
"I had my reasons for fighting you and they were stupid. I was jealous…jealous that Hinata-chan was with you. I wanted her for myself and I was jealous of you" Sasuke looked at Akira in a stunned way.
"I realized that Hinata-chan loves you not I…and I want the best for her" Akira turned around and looked at Sasuke as he smiled. "So please take good take of her because I still love her" Silence fell between them as the two just look at each other.
Sasuke then smirked. "Hai…I will keep that promise" He stated as he looked at his look alike Akira. Akira smirked but then Sasuke fell to the ground wincing in pain. Akira ran over towards him.
"Oi what's wrong?" He asked as he looked at Sasuke. He looked at Sasuke's neck and noticed that he was holding it.
"That must be the curse seal Orochimaru-sensei was telling me about" Akira lifted up Sasuke and placed him on his back.
"I'm going to take you back to your comrades" He whispered as he jumped up in the tree looking for everyone else.
&&&&&&&
Everyone looked down at Hinata and Lee on the ground unconscious.
"Hinata-sama…Lee" Neji whispered as he looked at his cousin and his teammate Lee.
"They're going to be okay right? They will right?" Naruto asked as he looked at Kiba, Shino, Gaara and Neji.
"Hai…they are just unconscious…but in Hinata's case she was poisoned she might not make it" Shino stated as he looked at Hinata. Naruto was really worried as he looked at his two friends. Kiba was knelt down looking at Hinata.
"Don't worry Hinata we'll get that poison out of your system…I promise" Kiba whispered as he looked at her.
Gaara was really worried about Hinata although he didn't say anything nor did he appear to be worried but it was killing him knowing that Hinata might die.
They all stood there until they heard a twig break and looked up to see Akira with Sasuke on his back. Everyone glared at Akira and got into they're stances.
"What did you do to Sasuke" Naruto frowned as he looked at Akira watching him as he laid Sasuke down.
"I did nothing…" Akira stated as he's eyes wondered towards Hinata. "Hinata…" He walked towards her but everyone stepped into front of him.
"What do you think you're doing?" Kiba hissed as he looked at Akira.
"Yeah stay away from Hinata" Naruto snarled. Shino and Gaara remained silent but they were both thinking the same thing.
"I can help her if you let me" Akira stated.
"Oh yeah?! How can we trust you after all you are the one that kidnapped Hinata" Naruto yelled.
"I can care less if you do or don't trust me, I won't stand here and watch the woman I love die right before my very eyes because a group of morons wouldn't let me help her" Everyone glared at him.
Gaara looked at Akira frowning as did Kiba and Naruto. Neji looked at Akira in the eyes with his Byakugan activated.
"He isn't lying he really does want to help her" Neji looked at Akira. "Save her then" Neji stated as he continued to glare at Akira.
"N-Neji…?" Naruto whispered.
Akira nodded as he walked over towards Hinata and knelt down besides her. "Hinata-chan I will heal you okay? I don't want to see you die" Akira paused for a bit as he glance at Lee and then back at Sasuke "Oi bring the Uchiha over here too" Everyone looked at Sasuke and back to Akira.
"What do you need him for?" Naruto asked.
"To finish him off" Everyone gasped as they looked at Akira. Akira sighed as he rolled his eyes. "Bakas…I'm going to heal him too so bring him over here" He snapped. Naruto nodded as he picked up Sasuke and laid him down next to Lee.
Akira took out a necklace with a blue charm on it as he held it out. Everyone watched as a bright light burst through the necklace and onto Lee, Hinata and Sasuke.
Everyone watched in awe as they're friends were being healed. "They look better…" Neji mumbled as he watches they're faces lighten up a bit and they're scars being healed.
"My teammate Mizuki she gave this to me…" He whispered knowing that they all were probably wondering where he got the necklace from. "She told me one day there might be someone that I would want to protect and to use this to heal them with it. It cures everything…" He looked at Neji. "Even if a person is poisoned…it'll cure the person from the poison" He stated as he looked back at Hinata, Lee and Sasuke.
Neji eyes widened as he then smiled thankful knowing that his teammate and cousin will be okay.
Akira put down the necklace and looked at the three. "They will be fine…but they still will be unconscious" Akira stood up looking a down at Hinata as he smiled at her.
"I'm glad that I could help you Hinata-chan" He smiled. Naruto looked at Akira and slightly smiled.
"Arigatou Akira…you saved them" Akira looked at Naruto and smiled a goofy smile.
"Ah no problem to be praised by the one that I admire…it makes me happy I was only helping out because of Hinata-chan and Sasuke here" He stated.
"Sasuke?" Kiba and Neji said in a questioning tone.
Akira nodded. "He helped me…when I was fighting the one who killed my neechan…although he told me the only reason for helping me was because the person we were fighting reminded him of someone that he detest…I am thankful that he helped me" Akira smiled as he looked at the Uchiha.
"Well…I guess that means we can go back home" Naruto grinned while Kiba smirked.
"Yeah…" Kiba stated. Akira was getting ready to walk off but Neji's voice stopped him.
"Where are you going?" He asked. Akira stopped and turned around.
"I'm going back to where I belong" Naruto frowned.
"You mean after all of this you're going back to Orochimaru?!" Akira smirked as he looked at everyone's expression.
"Listen you guys Orochimaru-sensei is a person that I look up to and admire. I'm staying by his side always. He has helped me become who I am today…besides if I came back to Konoha surely I would be punished for what I did…and I don't want that and I don't want to see the looks on their faces" He said referring to his teammates.
"So you're staying here?" Shino asked. Akira nodded his head. "Hai I'm sorry but it's my choice and this is what I have decided…to stay by Orochimaru-sensei's side" He stated. Everyone seemed wary about it but said no more.
"Whatever…" Kiba stated as he walked towards Hinata and was getting ready to pick her up but Naruto was as well.
"What are you doing?" Kiba asked.
"I'm getting ready to carry Hinata back. What are you doing?"
"I'm carrying Hinata" Kiba snapped.
"No I'm carrying her back" Naruto yelled back.
"She's my teammate so I'm carrying her"
"She my friend so I'm carrying her" Kiba glared at Naruto. Neji just sighed as he picked up Lee and carried him on his back.
"You carry Sasuke-traitor…he is your teammate after all" Kiba snapped. Naruto frowned. And as all this was happening Gaara simply knelt down and picked Hinata up himself.
"Stop you're bickering it is useless" He said as he walked off. Both Naruto and Kiba had a blank expression on their faces as they watched Gaara carry Hinata bridal style. They both frowned.
"I wanted to carry Hinata" They both said in unison only glaring at each other when they both said they same thing.
&&&&&&&&&
Akira watched the guys glaring at each other as he sighed and shook his head. He looked at Shino and walked towards him. "Oi Shino" Shino turned around and looked at Akira.
"Listen I would ask Lee but he is unconscious so I'll ask you" Shino looked at him wondering what he was going to say.
"Here…" Akira pulled out a few envelopes and handed them to Shino. "These are letters they're names are addressed to the people that they belong to. I want you to give them to them because I trust you to give them to them" Shino nodded as he looked the letters. One was addressed to Mizuki, Kiyoshi, Ino and then Hinata. Shino looked back at Akira.
"Ino…?" He said in a questioning tone.
Akira blushed as he scratched the back of his head. "Erm…yeah just something that I've always wanted to tell her" He stated. Shino nodded knowing what he was trying to say.
"Please make sure that they get these letters" Akira stated. Shino nodded.
"I will"
Akira smiled as he looked at Shino. "Arigatou Shino" Akira then turned around and looked at everyone else. "I bid everyone a farewell but this is not the last time you will see me…I promise will come back to Konoha one day to visit" He smiled as he disappeared into thin air.
Naruto smiled. "Keep that promise Akira…keep it" Naruto smiled as he looked up in the sky.
"Mission complete let's go back to Konoha" Neji stated as he leaped up into the trees with Lee on his back followed by Shino, Kiba, Naruto holding Sasuke on his back and then Gaara holding Hinata.
&&&&&&&&
As they were leaping through the trees Hinata slowly opened her eyes. "Ano…w-what…G-Gaara-kun?" Gaara glanced down at Hinata to see that she was awake.
"Hinata…are you okay?" He asked as he looked back up. She nodded. "Where is Akira-kun?" She asked as she looked up at him. Gaara remained silent.
"Ano Gaara-kun? Akira-kun is okay isn't he?" She began to worry.
"Hai is he fine…he went back with that snake guy though" He looked down to see her expression. "I'm glad you are okay"
She smiled as she looked at him and she brought her hand up to his chest making a faint blush appear on his face. "Arigatou Gaara-kun…you really are a true friend" She smiled as she looked at him.
Gaara facial expression went down. "Right…a friend" He whispered. Hinata looked at him as she touched his cheek caressing it. He looked at her with wide eyes. "Gaara-kun…please don't be sad…I do love you" His eyes widened. "I always will because you have always been there for me but I love you as a friend…there was a time I cared for you more than a friend but I have Sasuke-kun and I would never betray him…ever" She stated.
He smiled as he looked at her. "I understand…but I will always keep you in my heart…always" She smiled as he hand fell from his face. "Where is Sasuke-kun?"
"He is unconscious so Naruto is carrying him…Lee is also out of it as well" She nodded.
"We'll be coming closer to your village pretty soon" She nodded as she closed her eyes to rest.
&&&&&&&&&&
The ninjas finally arrived back in Konoha. Sasuke and Lee and Hinata were put in the hospital for safe measures. Neji was sitting by Lee's bedside waiting for him to wake up along with TenTen, while Kiba and Gaara waited for Hinata to wake up and Naruto waited for Sasuke to wake up along with Sakura.
&&&&&&&&
Shino was now in front of Kiyoshi. Kiyoshi looked at the letter in his hand. "So the baka went with Orochimaru huh?" Kiyoshi snorted as he looked at the letter. Shino nodded. "He told me to hand you this letter. I've already given the other letters to Mizuki and Ino but I have yet given Hinata hers" Shino stated.
Kiyoshi looked at the letter. "I see…well thanks" Kiyoshi said as he walked away opening the letter.
Dear Lazy ass teme,
Kiyoshi you've always gotten on my nerves over the years that we have been teammates but over those years I've never told you, but you are like a brother to me. I care a lot about you and Mizuki along with our sensei. I'm sorry that I left you guys to go with Orochimaru…but I'm pretty sure you bakas don't give a damn that I'm there or not. Kiyoshi please look after Mizuki and Hinata for me while I'm gone. I will come back but not until after awhile…and when I do come back I wanna fight you baka.
Akira
Kiyoshi looked at the letter and smirked. "Akira…you better come back like you said" He smiled as he looked up into the sky. "I'll miss you…brother" He said whispered to himself.
&&&&&&&&
Mizuki looked at the letter in her hands. She didn't want to open it because she didn't want to believe that Akira had really left. But her fingers slowly opened the letter. Her eyes scanned the letter before actually reading it.
Dear Mizuki,
Oi Mizuki, arigatou for caring about me all these years even though I treated you like dirt. I'm sorry for that. Mizuki you are like a sister to me and I hope that you can forgive me for treating you and Kiyoshi like trash. To be honest Mizuki I hated to see the two of you get hurt because you guys are like my family…you being my sister, Kiyoshi being my brother and sensei is like a parent figure to me. I'm sorry that I left the way I did but Orochimaru-sensei is training me and I want to become stronger.
I finally did defeat Reno the guy that killed Mai and I'm happy because I know Mai is happy that I avenged her death, she is smiling down at me I know it. Listen to me babbling on and on about Mai…gomen Mizuki.
Mizuki I will come back soon to see you and Kiyoshi and Hinata but not no time soon. Oh and you should start seeing Naruto. I know you are probably blushing right about now but I'm serious he is a good catch for you and you practical talk about him all the time when we were around each other. I know you like him.
Well I'm going to close here Mizuki. Keep you head up and never back down on anything okay? Ja ne
P.S. –Try to be more girly. I think Naruto like girls like that…you might catch his eye that way
Akira
Mizuki was still blushing from the Naruto part. She put the letter down smiling. "…Baka…" Tears started coming down her cheeks. "Baka-baka-baka why did you leave us" She started crying in her room as she held the letter close to herself.
&&&&&&&&&&&&&&
Ino was currently reading her letter from Akira as well. She was shocked that he even thought of her while he was gone. She blushed as she held the letter in her hands.
Dear Ino,
Ino you are really annoying you know that? And I always hated that about you but…behind my hate I love you. Yes shocking isn't it I love you and I'll declare it to anyone who ask. But I still love Hinata-chan and I always will. I'm sorry if that upsets you in anyway…that is if you like me back? Ino my letter to you going to be short because I'm only writing you ask you one question.
Ino whenever I do come back from Orochimaru-sensei I want you to marry me. In this envelop is a ring not an engagement ring or anything it's just a promise ring. If I came back and see you wearing it…I'll know that you accept and you'll be my wife. But I do have to say I'll still love Hinata-chan. She was the first girl that I ever loved ever since I was younger and she is someone that I can never forget…please don't hold it against me since I still love her.
I'm going to close here so don't forget me Ino-chan and please wait for me.
Love Akira
Ino was blushing as she looked at the letter. She then opened the envelop more to see the diamond ring that was inside. "And this is just a promise ring? Looks more like a wedding ring than a promise ring" Ino slowly slipped the ring on her ring admiring who it looked on her finger but then she frowned.
"He still loves Hinata huh?" The frown slowly went away as she smiled. "Miyazki Ino…I like the ring of that" She smiled as she looked at the ring. "I will wait for you Akira-kun…I'll wait" She smiled as she looked at a picture of Akira and his teammates along with her team on her dresser.
&&&&&&&&&&&&&
Hinata slowly opened her eyes to see Kiba and Gaara in her room. "Ah Hinata you are awake. The doctors said that you can go home today and so can Lee and the tra-I mean Sasuke" Stopping himself from calling Sasuke a traitor in front of Hinata.
She smiled as she looked at Kiba. "I see…" Is all she said as she looked at the blanket that was covering her body. Gaara looked at her as he stood up.
"Well I'm glad to see that you are okay Hinata but I must take my leave now" Hinata sat up quickly as she looked at him. "You are leaving so soon?"
"I told you before that I wasn't going to stay long" He smirked as he looked at her facial expression. "I'll be back you know I will…I'll be back to check up on you every now and then to make sure Sasuke doesn't hurt you again" She blushed as she nodded.
Kiba looked at Gaara. He could tell that Gaara liked Hinata but said nothing about it. If it were up to Kiba he would rather see Gaara with Hinata than Sasuke but said nothing about it. Gaara glanced at Kiba as he nodded to him as Kiba nodded back.
"Se ya…" Kiba mumbled while Akamaru barked as if saying 'see ya' as well.
Gaara looked back at Hinata and noticed she still had her necklace he had given her. He smiled as he looked at her. "I'll come back so I won't say goodbye" He smiled at her blushing face. She nodded.
"Hai…ja ne Gaara-kun" She smiled as she watched him walk out the door.
When he left Shino came in. "Ah Shino-kun…" She smiled although she couldn't tell if he was smiling back since his jacket covered half of his face but she was sure he was smiling back as while.
"Hinata…this letter is for you. It's from Akira" Hinata looked at the letter as she nodded. Shino walked towards Hinata and handed her the letter.
"It's from Akira? When did you get it?" Kiba asked as he looked at Shino.
"He gave it to me before he left" Kiba looked back to the letter that Hinata was currently reading.
To my sweet Hinata-chan,
Hello Hinata-chan…I know that you never forgave me for kidnapping you but I really am sorry for what I did. Hinata-chan I really care for you and only want the best for you and I know that you are in love with that Uchiha which who I really dislike but he makes you happy. But I still love you and always will just remember that.
I wrote my teammates and Ino a letter as well. I finally told Ino that I love her. I even asked her in the letter to marry me…I don't know what she'll say but I will know when I come back. I would have asked you to marry me but you have someone already and I don't want to ruin your relationship with the teme.
I'm staying with Orochimaru-sensei which I'm sure someone told you already. I chose to stay with him because he is going to train me to become stronger than what I already am. Trust me I know about Sasuke's seal and Orochimaru-sensei isn't going to give me that seal…I know because he told me. Kabuto-senpai and I are Orochimaru's closet apprentices. I'm sorry I keep rambling on and on about a person you can care less about I just can't help myself when I talk about him. I admire him.
Well I wish you happiness in life my Hinata-chan. I'm going to close here now and Hinata-chan become all you can be in life and prove that father of yours wrong…because I know you can do it. You should really think about becoming a Jounin, I think that suits you if you became less shy and quiet because you like kids a lot and I think you could become a good sensei. Just think about it for me okay?
Love, Akira
P.S. – You will always be in my heart…never will I forget the first girl that I have loved ever since out academy day…I bet you didn't know that did you?
Hinata looked at the letter smiling. "Akira-kun…I wish you happiness as well" She smiled casing Kiba to look at her.
"So what did the letter say?" He said in an anxious tone. Hinata looked at Kiba. "Nothing…just private talk" She giggled as she looked at Kiba whining about how he wanted to know what the letter said.
"It's private Kiba so quit asking her" Shino stated as he glanced at Kiba. Kiba frowned. "Tch…you want to know it said just as much as I do" Kiba stated as he pointed his finger at Shino.
True Shino did but wasn't going to admit that to Kiba so he just ignored him. "So Hinata did you want to stop by to see Sasuke" Kiba frowned since Shino was ignoring what he just said.
"Hai…" She smiled as she stood.
&&&&&&&&&&&
Kiba and Shino had left saying that it's best if she just went to go see Sasuke because he probably just wants to see her only not them as well. Hinata knocked on the door and heard a come in so she walked inside to see Kakashi, Sakura and Naruto inside the room with Sasuke.
Kakashi looked at Hinata and back at Sasuke. "I have a sense of déjà vu all of a sudden" He smiled as he looked at Sasuke smiling behind his mask.
Sasuke glared at him as he looked back at Hinata. "Hinata are you okay?" Naruto asked as he looked at her. She nodded as she looked at him.
"That's good I was really worried about you" He grinned. Hinata smiled as she looked at him blushing. Sasuke noticed this but let it pass seeing that Hinata blushes over everything.
Hinata looked over at Sakura who hasn't taken her eyes off of Sasuke since she came in the room. Hinata didn't say anything but then she remembered why she ran before Akira kidnapped her.
Flashback
"…Sakura…" Sasuke said in a whisper. "Please Sasuke-kun…don't leave me" Sasuke looked at her as he slowly embraced her back. Sakura slightly blushed when she felt Sasuke's arms around hers.
"…Sasuke-kun…will you promise me" Sakura said. "I can't promise you that I won't leave…" Sasuke replied. Sakura nodded. "Please just let me hold you for a little while longer Sasuke-kun" Sasuke nodded as he held the pink haired girl in his arms. Sakura looked up into Sasuke's eyes as Sasuke looked into hers. Sakura leaned towards his face attempting to kiss him.
"Sasuke-kun…"
Both ninjas turned they're heads to see Hinata and Naruto staring at them. Sasuke quickly let go of Sakura. "What the hell Sasuke you tell Hinata-chan you're leaving and now you with Sakura-chan" Naruto yelled as he glared at Sasuke.
"It's not like that dobe" Sasuke said. Naruto scoffed. "From what I seen it is…you were about to kiss Sakura-chan" Naruto hissed. "I wasn't going to kiss her, she tried to kiss me" Sasuke replies. "I seen but you sure in hell didn't try to push her away" Naruto retorts.
Sasuke looked at Hinata, she had tears in her eyes. "Hinata-chan…please it's not what you think…"
End of Flashback
Hinata looked at Sasuke and then Sakura. "That's right he did look like he was going to kiss her…but he did tell me that it's me that he likes" Hinata looked at Sasuke as he looked at her. They both locked eyes for a moment before they both looked away from each other blushing.
"Sasuke-kun…the doctor said that you can go home today" Sakura smiled as she looked at him. He just nodded as he looked at her. Naruto looked at Sakura and sighed. He could tell that Sakura still liked Sasuke even though he was with Hinata.
"So Hinata what are you planning on doing today?" Kakashi asked trying to break the dead silence that came over in the room.
"Ano…I'm going back to my apartment…and that's it, nothing important" He nodded as he then glanced at Sasuke. "What about you Sasuke? What are you planning to do?"
He remained silent as he just glared at Kakashi. "Erm…okay well I guess I'll be taking my leave" Kakashi stated as he stood up and walk towards the door waving bye to Naruto and Sakura along with Hinata.
They all with the exception of Sasuke said bye. Sakura glanced at Hinata and slightly frowned but it went unnoticed by everyone in the room.
Sasuke looked up at Hinata and smiled. "Don't just stand there all day. Get over here and sit down" He stated. He may have been smiling but his tone was cold…not that he was mad with her it's just the way his voice sounded at times. Hinata nodded as she walked towards the chair that was near his bed.
Sasuke looked at her as he placed his hand over hers completely ignoring the fact that Naruto and Sakura were still in the room. "There is something that I must talk with your father and you today" He stated. Sakura looked at Sasuke.
"Like what?" She blurted out but then covered her mouth. Sasuke turned to look at her as he slightly frowned.
"I believe that I was talking to Hinata. I didn't know you were Hinata" He said with a frown but then he smirked as he looked at her. She blushed as she looked down at her fingers.
"Ano…I-"
"Please leave Hinata and I in here I need to speak with her in private" Naruto nodded as he stood up. Sakura remained sitting but Naruto nudged her in the arm.
"Come on Sakura-chan let's go" She nodded and leaned forward and hugged Sasuke taking not only him shocked but Naruto and Hinata as well.
"I'm glad that you came back" She whispered in his ear as she pulled away from the hug and left the room.
Naruto looked at Sasuke and noticed that he was once again looking at Hinata smiling like nothing had just happened. Naruto smiled as he too walked out the room.
"What is it that you wanted to tell me and my father?" Sasuke stood up from the bed and walked towards the door motioning Hinata to come with his hand.
Hinata stood up as well and walked towards him as she grabbed his hand. "I'm sorry…about that day" He whispered as he looked at her. She shook her head.
"Don't apologize…it's in the past" He smiled as he looked at her.
"So forgiven…I love that about you the most" He pulled her closer towards him as he planted a kiss on her forehead. "I love you" He whispered as he pressed his forehead to her temple.
"Sasuke-koi" He blushed at that name as he slightly frowned. "Please don't call me that" He stated as he pulled her arm so they can start walking together.
"Why not?"
"That name does not fit me and I don't like the way the word sounds" He stated. She pouted but then she started giggling. "You're funny Sasuke-kun" She smiled. He smirked as he looked at her.

The couple was now in front of Haishi sitting down. "So I'm glad to now that you are safe Hinata-sama" Hinata seemed surprised that her father said that but didn't say anything.
"So what brings you here and why is the missing nin here?" He asked as he glared at Sasuke.
"I came to ask you for your permission to marry your daughter" Hiashi and Hinata made a shocked expression.
"S-Sasuke-kun?!" She had no idea that's what Sasuke wanted to talk about with her and her father.
"You want to marry my daughter? Hyuuga Hinata…?"
Sasuke nodded. "Hinata is my girlfriend and has been for awhile now. I promised her that I'll marry her but I want your permission first" He stated as he looked at Hiashi with a serious expression.
Hiashi frowned as he looked at Sasuke. "Why would someone like you of your caliber want someone as weak as her?"
Sasuke frowned as he glared at the clan leader. "Hinata isn't weak, she is a very strong girl if you were to pay her attention to her more you will be able to see that. A father should never ignore any of his children rather one is weaker then the other or not. Hinata is your child so treat her with more respect" Sasuke snarled as he burned holes in Hiashi eyes.
The room went dead silent for the longest no one talking or anything. Hiashi was still shocked while Sasuke continued to glare at Hiashi.
Hiashi clears his throat as he looks at the Uchiha. "So you wish to marry my daughter to do you?" Sasuke nodded.
"Hm…and Uchiha marrying a Hyuuga. That would be very interesting…" He looked at Sasuke and then Hinata.
"It is acceptable…you have my permission" Hiashi stated as he looked at Sasuke. Sasuke nodded as he looked at Hinata who was smiling while blushing.
"You two will get married seven mouths from now…" Sasuke nodded as did Hinata.
"You may be excused" Hiashi stated as he looked at both teens. Sasuke and Hinata nodded as they walked out they room. When they left the room Hiashi could hear his daughter squeal in delight and he could see they're shadows hugging each other.
He smirked. "Ah and half Uchiha and Hyuuga…that would be a new breed and a powerful person" He smirked to himself.
&&&&&&&&
"Can you believe we're going to get married Sasuke-kun" He smirked as he looked at her happy face.
"Ah yes Uchiha Hinata" He smirked as he looked at her.
"I love the way the sounds Mr. Uchiha" She smiled.
"Hai Mrs. Uchiha" He smirked.
For the rest of the day both Sasuke and Hinata were calling each other Mr. and Mrs. Uchiha the whole day earning a few stares by certain villagers but they didn't care because they were now…Mr. and Mrs. Uchiha…well not yet but in seven months.
