Hello everyone!! Thanks for all the reviews!! I really, really, REALLY appreciate them all. Thanks for the story favorites and the story alerts. Here's the next chappie you've all been waiting for!

Sasuke moved at breakneck speed, plunging his katana into what he thought was Naruto's body. He was very much surprised when he found out that it was blocked by...Hinata?!

" What the hell are you doing? " he hissed.

Haku smirked to himself. Naruto, Sakura, and Yamato were stunned to silence. First, the way Hinata matched up to Sasuke. Then, she stood in front of Naruto with her puppet's arms blocking the katana confidently. Sasuke raised his eyebrow.

Why? he asked her, irritated and slightly confused.

Because they are everything to me...If you destroy them, you destroy me... Hinata answered, sad.

And do I even care? Sasuke stared back at her.

I know not much about you...But I know, you are a good person...Even if you tried to hide it...I-

" Shut up! " Sasuke snarled and thrust his katana at her. Hinata swiftly evaded it.

I believe you, Uchiha-san...I believe in you...I know- she stopped when she had to evade another lethal jab from Sasuke. Naruto and the others were plainly confused. Haku frowned, then he remembered he himself had work to do.

" Run you idiots! Hinata's giving you a chance to run! " Haku roared.

" Let's go! " Yamato ordered, taking off and dragging both Sakura and Naruto while Sai stood rooted to the spot.

" Sai, what are you doing?! " Yamato shouted.

(Sorry, sorry, just to inform you guys...Sai hasn't talked much about bonds to Naruto so he's still going to kill Sasuke...)

Sai unrolled a sheet of parchment and drew on it, " Ninpou : Chojuu Giga. "

A gigantic bird picked him up and flew to the sky. He drew his short sword. Yamato rushed back to the scene, followed by Naruto and Sakura.

" What the hell are you doing, Sai!? " Naruto screamed.

Move aside Hyuuga...I'm going to kill them, whether you like it or not. Sasuke stated and leaped at the bird. Sharingan activated, he lunged at Sai. Sai ducked and tried to trip Sasuke. Sasuke jumped and shot three fireballs, effectively destroying the bird - which dissolved into harmless ink.

Sai fell through the trees landing on his feet and rushed at Sasuke who stood calmly in front of him. Blue lighting appeared on Sasuke's blade and he slashed at Sai, who got shoved aside by Hinata.

" Annoying... " Sasuke narrowed his eyes.

Hinata lowered her eyes, which were glistening with tears, " Run Sai! All of you run!! " Hinata screamed, voice hoarse.

" That won't stop me. " Sasuke dashed off.

Hinata merely shook her head as she took off after the raven-haired introvert followed by Haku. Haku stole a quick glanced at Hinata, getting increasingly worried. As Sasuke managed to successfully stab Yamato's shoulder with Chidori Nagashi enhancing his blade. Hinata pulled it out, causing the captain to grunt in pain. With one hand she controlled the puppet and the other she healed Yamato's gash with amazing speed.

" Amazing...I thought only Tsunade-sama and Kabuto knew how to do that. " Sakura said, eyes wide with disbelief.

" Give it up. They are not important. " Sasuke said to Hinata and ran to Sakura, " Katon : Grand Fireball Jutsu. "

A huge fireball was thrown right at Sakura, who could only stare in horror. Hinata appeared right in front of her.

" Suiton : Water Dragon! " Hinata countered, putting out the fireball. The water dragon hovered in the air. It was BIG.

" Wow, Hinata is so skilled now! "

As both the teenagers fought, only Hinata noticed Sai creeping up on Sasuke's back. Hinata was surprised, thinking that Sasuke must've sensed him already. I've already told you! don't call me a kind person! I am nothing of what you say!! Sasuke roared in his mind at Hinata. Hinata flinched, tears threatening to fall from her eyes, No!! I don't believe that, Uchiha-san!! I believe everyone has good in them!! Everyone!! Even your brother! the moment she thought that, she knew it was a mistake. Sasuke's rage worsened whenever she mentioned Itachi. Of all the worst times she had to speak about Itachi! Sasuke plunged his katana into one of her water clones, destroying it. As he turned around and plunged his katana in once more, time seemed to slow down for him. He watched Hinata stand behind him, her face facing his, a sword sticking out of her stomach, her blood spurting out from her new wound and mouth. It was Sai's sword sticking out from her stomach...And it was his sticking out of her back.

" HINATA!! " Haku screamed rushing to her.

A tear...A fresh warm tear fell onto Sasuke's wrist. His mouth was slightly open in shock as he felt Hinata's tear on his wrist.

" I believe you are a kind person, Uchiha-san...You're just afraid to show it... " Hinata spoke, her voice barely above a whisper, " You are a good person... " she coughed up some more blood as Sai let go of the hilt of his sword.

With that, Hinata collapsed onto Sasuke's arms, staining his clothes a deep red with her blood. Haku slowly lifted her from him.

" You bastard!! I never should have trusted you!! " Haku glared at him, tears streaming down his face.

" No...Haku-nii-san...It's not...It's not his fault...Don't...Don't blame...Uchiha...san... " Hinata's voice trailed away.

" Let's take her back to Konoha! It's the only way we can save her!! " Yamato ordered.

" Anything to keep her alive... " Haku said and set off.

Naruto grabbed Sai's collar and growled, " You're coming with us! " with that, he dragged Sai with him.

" Sasuke-kun... " Sakura murmured, hurt present in her voice and left.

Sasuke stood in the clearing alone, his mouth set into a grim line. His clothes red with Hinata's blood...His hands stained with her blood...Forever...
