Fellings:

Hinata woke up for the fifty-est time that night. The brake-up with Sasuke was hitting her harder than she expected. Did she do something wrong? Was she really so ugly that the village heartthrob took it upon his shoulders to make her self-esteem worse?

It took everything to stop Neji when he wanted to "ask" Sasuke what he did wrong; but in the end it was useless, Neji got to Sasuke while Hinata was on a mission.

'Neji' Hinata thought. She was happy that he and Ten Ten were going out, even though it sadden her that her relationship with Sasuke didn't go so well.

Hinata was shocked to say the least when all her friends came to console her; especially Sakura. Never in her life (or the afterlife) would she think that Sakura would help her move on, she would've thought that Sakura would yell at her for doing that to her 'Sasuke-kun' then run away to be at his side or jump to his defense. She even noticed the way Sakura barly said 'hi' to Sasuke when he walks by, and had even told her that she was glad that she didn't fall for him.

She couldn't believe the feelings she'd developed for him; that after the three year plus, she might actually say she loves him... But now he'll never know that. Yet after all of that was said and done Hinata couldn't get rid of that nagging felling that someone was watching her; one time she woke up with her byakugan activated.

Maybe its Sasuke thats stalking me? Hinata's inner voice asked

'No... Why would he do that?'

For you

'M-Me?'

Yes... after all you were the one who broke his heart.

'Heart? What do you mean, he doesn't have a heart.'

Are you so sure of that? Up to the time that of the brake-up did he do anything violent - well at least to you?

'No. B-But...'

Is this how you chose to handle the lost of the one you love?

'L-L-Love? I-I don't know w-what you're talking about. H-He's an a-anathema to me.'

You do. Don't be afraid, tell him; you'll work something out.

'What... W-What if I don't how?'

Trust your heart.

'Wait who a-are you?'

...I'm you.

That was the end of their conservation and Hinata know that she had lost to her the other voice.

'But how do I know that you are me?'

She got no reply.

Now Hinata let out a muffled scream. Out of all the times in her life in which she met fear, this was the worst she ever felt. If she cannot feel safe within her own mind where else would she be? If you cannot trust yourself than you can never trust anyone else.

'Am I going crazy?' she asked herself

'Are these the signs that my sanity is dying out?'

"No. Hinata your just over doing it, thats all. Calm down, calm down."

"Nee-chan," Hinata turned to the source and found Hanabi looking worriedly at her.

"Hai?"

"Do you mind if I stay with you tonight?" Hanabi asked quietly as she her body came through the Shoji door.

"Iie; I don't mind." Hinata smiled softly. Hanabi had gotten a habit of coming in to make sure that her sister was alright.

'No!' Hinata thought assured as her sister made for her bed, 'I'm not crazy, its just the stress.' and with that thought she dozed off with her sister crammed next to her. But it seemed that not even her sister being there made her feel any better. In fact it made her wrose if something came in she wouldn't want her sister to die because the thing wanted her. Besides her physical state, her emotional state is wavering too, and not even her dreams made her feel happy...

'Run!' that was the only thought in her brain. She had to run; but who or what is she running away from? Her clothes tron and her hair was cut to just below her neck; obvisously she didn't do it, her ends were jagged. She was passed her limit, but she was used to it, what would a ninja be if they didn't go over their limit? How else would they learn to adapt and grow stronger?

With a pained cry she fell onto her knees, panting. She tremebled. She cried. She felt weak - No she is weak. A glance around and she knew she was in her village, but it looks so deserted; I mean even at night the villagers had lamps out to help those passing by. Suddenly she felt a presence behind and her body went stiff.

...Power...

...Hate...

...Loathe...

...Determindation...

...Darkness...

..and..

...Coldness...

All of these emotion radiated from the presence behind her but what really widen Hinata's eyes was that she remembered that kind of coldness, back from her academy days and it came from one person...

"S-Sasuke..." she managed to squeak. Slowly - ever so slowly - she turned around and was blinded by dark-purplish charka; it was so powerful that it obscurbed her vision of he face. She was certainly sure it was a male, if anything else, the body frame of the person, and it didn't have rounded hips which all females have. The clothes were firm on the persons body so she knew it wasn't because of the clothes being loose.

"Sasuke?" she repeated.

No response. Instead he reached a hand behing its back and grabbed a hilt of something strapped to his back. The kounchi on the ground paled as she just now noticed that was a sword - and a big one at that. And the small, dark chuckle did nothing to make her feel better. He grasped the sword with both his hands and he looked perpared to strike. He brought the sword down and he hesitated to cut her.

The sword fell with a 'clink' and the person dropped to his knees and hands steadily at his head. The dark charka fading. Hinata being Hinata softly put a hand on his shouder, only to feel him tense up because she didn't want him that ... what did she wanted him to know? She was ninja she should fight back or run away and in the back of her mind she can hear her fahter snarl at her in displeasure.

From his position he jumped back with the sword in his hand, he let out a scream as the charka surrounded him; more fiercely this time. Booth hands gripped he ready himself and swung down at her...

Was this it.

No. Even as his screms became more pained he stopped, again. He missed his window of opprotunity; again. Suddenly his scraming stopped and she looked up to see her cousin, Neji had attacked him from behind and he said something, but she didn't understand. Slowly the screnery faded out into blakness, six words lingered in her head:

Save him before he kills you...

"Onee-chan! Onee-chan!"

"Hmm? H-Hanabi?"

"Hai; nee-chan you were having a nightmare. You were shaking and crying." at those words she remember she had to save him, but who was him?

"Oh, nee-chan, a maid said that the Hokage wanted to see you."

"When?"

"In two hours."
