Chapter Three: Sasuke & Hinata

"Yo, Sasuke!" Naruto called as he entered his best friends large apartment. He shut the door behind him, and stuffed his keys in his pocket while removing his shoes and leaving them at the door. Sasuke lived alone, in an apartment about three times as big as Naruto's. Many times the Uzumaki boy thought of packing his things and moving into Sasuke's place. He had just dropped off Ino and Hinata at Ino's house where both girls had left their cell phones all day. They usually walked but it had been an unusually rainy day. "Hey Teme! You didn't answer my calls or texts all day, why weren't you at school?!" The blonde sighed when he heard no answer and moved more into the living room area, his brows furrowed in confusion at what he came to see. The usually clean and organized apartment was completely trashed. There were broken bottles, clothes everywhere, chairs and tables had been flipped over, pills had been scattered, and traces of cocaine lay on the black sofa in front of the T.V. Naruto set his backpack down, and lifted up a picture frame of Sasuke's older brother Itachi which had been smashed. "What the fuck happened here?"

The apartment was dead silent, not unusual for Sasuke but the fact that the apartment had been trashed worried the Uzumaki a bit. He pulled out his cellphone, and began to scroll through his contact list searching for Sasuke's name. Suddenly, before he could ring Sasuke the front door flew open, and a soaked Hinata stood at the frame, eyes widened with worry as she stumbled to remove her shoes as quickly as possible. Naruto rose an eyebrow as Hinata ran inside the apartment opening all the doors as if she was searching for something. She painted heavily, tears forming in her eyes as she turned her attention to Sasuke's room which was at the top of a small flight of stairs. It was the only room on the second floor.

"N-naruto…" she mumbled, trembling. "Where is he?"

The blonde grabbed the girl by her shoulders, looking directly into her eyes. "Hinata, what's going on? What's wrong with you?" He wondered if she was on something, which is another thing that would not be so unusual.

"S-sasuke left me… a-a m-message…" she gasped for air and rushed towards Sasuke's bedroom. "C-call 911!" She yelled.

Naruto's eyes widened in realization. He ran up towards his best friends room, seeing that it too was a disaster. Sasuke was laid on the ground and Hinata was already knelt at his side. He wasted no time pulling the phone to his ear and dialing the number waiting for someone on the other line to answer. He watched as Hinata removed the needle Sasuke had inserted into his arm, and turned the guy into prone positions begging him to wake up.

"Hi. Hi. Yeah, listen my- my friend he's overdosing!" Naruto began. Sasuke began to make a choking noise, and Hinata did not even flinch when the Uchiha vomited on her lap. She patted his back and he began to cough but he still seemed unconscious.

"How did you know?" Naruto asked, seated next to Hinata in the waiting room. Konoha Hospital was a large facility, very clean and very well known.

She had her knees to her chest, her hair dripping from the rain wearing Naruto's orange jacket to warm up. She placed her chin on her knees, and wrapped her arms around her legs her focus on the ground.

Hinata, trembling a bit, pulled her phone from her pocket, handing it to Naruto who took it. Hinata's screen was cracked. He unlocked the phone and it went to her messages where the first one was from Sasuke.

Sasuke

Today 3:45 pm

I can't do it anymore. None of it.

Don't fucking save me

Naruto placed the phone down and turned to look at the Hyūga girl. She had dark circles under her eyes, and Naruto knew that Hinata probably never slept. For her quiet personality she did not seem like the hardcore drug addicted, party loving teenager she was. She had changed a lot in the past year, and Naruto knew why. It was the same reason Sasuke had been so different as well. He knew the reason why the two of them came together, what he never understood, and frankly never asked is how. The blonde placed his hand around her shoulder for comfort and she laid her head on his shoulder.

"Hinata… can I ask you something?" She nodded, "...how did you and Sasuke even start this?"

It all began at a mansion, an extravagant one at that. Sasuke pulled his Range Rover into the circular driveway, his eyes on the large stone fountain in the center of it. About twelve other cars were parked in front of the home, which Sasuke would guess ranged about 300 million. The Hyūga's were definitely a wealthy clan, but it was nothing strange to him, as he was an Uchiha, a clan just as, if not more wealthy thanks to the work his elder brother put in with his uncles after the death of his parents. He wore a dark suit, with a white button up shirt and navy blue colored tie. He checked the time on his wristwatch and stepped out of the car after his brother did. Itachi wore a dark red suit with a black shirt underneath.

"I see you've learned to drive well, little brother." Itachi teased as Sasuke glared softly at him. The younger brother reached into his jacket pocket and grabbed a carton of cigarettes picking one out. He placed it between his lips and grabbed his lighter lighting it up and taking a drag. "Now, now Sasuke." Itachi chided, pulling the cigarette from out between his lips and taking his lighter away. "These things will kill you."

Sasuke scoffed when Itachi took a drag of the cigarette himself. "I thought we were going straight to the museum. Why are we at the Hyūga mansion?"

Itachi exhaled a breath of smoke and chuckled when Sasuke took his cigarette back. "Well how are you going to be a proper escort to the elder Hyūga sister if you don't arrive together?"

Sasuke hated major events. Galas, dinners, meetings. After his parents had died Itachi had given him more freedom to choose what he liked to attend. After ten years of homeschooling he was able to attend an actual school with other students and there he met and befriended Naruto. He hid and tried to avoid this lifestyle but sometimes just as this night, he had no choice but to attend major events.

/

"I-I don't k-know, Ino… Red just d-doesn't look good on me…." Hinata said into her cell phone as she stared at her own reflection in the mirror. She was wearing an elegant satin red gown with no sleeves. Her long hair was out and curled at the ends.

'Will you be quiet?' Ino said through the phone, the blonde girl was currently walking through the mall, searching for outfits herself. 'I've seen the dress. I've helped you pick it out. Now will you please just wear it.'

Hinata sighed and twirled. "I think the purple one looks better…"

Ino took a sip of the strawberry and banana smoothie she had bought while shopping, walking into a new store. 'Don't second guess it. It fits you like a dream.'

Hinata hung up the phone call and set it on her dresser before walking towards her closet. She pulled out a pair of beige heels, and just as she was slipping them on, her bedroom door opened and in walked her cousin Neji, and younger sister, Hanabi.

"Are you ready?" Neji asked, wearing a dark blue suit, black shoes and a shiny silver Rolex. His long hair was tied back, and he was fixing his tie as he walked closer towards the younger girl.

"Do I really have to go?" Hinata asked, turning towards her cousin. She smiled softly and shrugged as she started to tie his tie for him. "Nobody would really miss me if I wasn't there."

"Please Hinata. I know you hate these events but it's important that family is there." Neji answered, pulling out his cellphone.

"Besides I would miss you." Hanabi smiled, "and the Uchiha brothers are already outside waiting for us." She wore an elegant dark blue gown with long sleeves.

Hinata rose a confused eyebrow. "Shouldn't they be at the museum already?"

Hanabi sat in front of Hinata's mirror and started searching through her sisters makeup bag. She grabbed a red lipstick Hinata had not even opened yet and broke the seal.

"The younger Uchiha is to be your escort tonight." Neji told her as he scrolled through his cellphone. Hinata was placing an earring in her ear as he continued. "And given that Itachi Uchiha and I will finally be closing this deal together I saw it fitting to arrive at the same time."

Hinata shrugged her shoulders. "I'm surprised he agreed to accompany me."

Hanabi looked back at her sister, now sporting bright red lips. "Aren't you guys classmates?"

"Yes b-but… I've… never spoken to him." Hinata removed her shoes. "I need to change again…"

Neji sighed. "Hinata, if it will get you out the door wear jeans for all I care."

"Just… just go on ahead." The girl yelled from her closet. "Really! I'll be right behind you."

Hanabi frowned. "We're supposed to ride there together big sister."

Hinata unzipped her dress at her side and quickly began to search for another one. "Neji… just go with the Uchiha's and Hanabi. I'll be out soon and take a car!"

Neji sighed reluctantly. "Very well. Call me when you're on the way."

/

"Very well." Itachi agreed, after Neji explained Hinata would be running a little late and proposed they ride together. "Sasuke why don't you wait for her and we'll go on ahead."

Neji nodded and stepped into a white Range Rover that looked just like the black one Sasuke was driving. Itachi opened the door for Hanabi and got in himself afterwards. They drove off quickly after that.

Sasuke scrolled through his cell phone as he sat in the driver's seat of his car. He was still parked in the Hyūga driveway, but his brother had left with Neji and Hanabi Hyūga about ten minutes earlier. He didn't mind waiting for the older Hyūga seeing as it was a way to cut short the time he had to spend at the party. His attention was brought to the front door of the mansion when the door was opened and out stepped Hinata wearing a dark red satin gown, sleeveless, with her hair out loosely. He stepped out of the car and didn't say a word to the girl he simply opened the passenger door for her and quickly went back to his seat. She didn't feel like talking much either, which was great since Sasuke wouldn't even look her way. A heavy rain poured down as they drove down the street in silence, the only sound inside the car was coming from the music playing from the radio. Sasuke dug in his pocket, pulling out a cigarette and placing it between his lips.

"Got a light?" He asked in a low mumble, his eyes forwards on the road.

He stopped behind a car at a four way intersection as Hinata pulled a lighter from her beige clutch that matched her heels and lit it up for him. She placed the lighter back in her bag and pulled her cellphone out, texting Neji she was on her way. She felt a bit guilty since she decided to stick with the red dress in the end. Another ten minutes passed and there still wasn't a response which she found strange since Neji always replied quickly. She furrowed her brows and texted him again when the car suddenly came to a halt. Sasuke had stomped really hard on the breaks and Hinata looked forwards seeing cop cars and ambulances surrounding the area. She squinted at the bright red and blue flashes.

"What h-happened here?" Hinata questioned, her eyes focusing on a car that seemed to have flipped over completely.

Sasuke took a drag of his cigarette before putting it out. He looked at the scene ahead of him, annoyed he couldn't move forward since all the cars were stopped in front of him. He rose his brow when he spotted a familiar white Range Rover which looked just like his.

"Wait a second…" he mumbled, his eyes widening in realization. "Fuck… fuck! Fuck!"

He unbuckled his seatbelt and jumped out of the car running towards the scene. A confused Hinata followed after him, the both of them not caring about the rain splashing all over them.

"Sasuke-san… what are you doi—" as she reached Sasuke's side she recognized her cousins car, and she felt like she couldn't even breathe when she saw her younger sister getting put in an ambulance.

/

Sasuke hadn't left his apartment in days. He sat in there, in the dark, not eating, not sleeping, he just sat there. He sat there staring at the clean white, empty wall his expression not changing. He didn't even turn to see who entered his home when he heard the door open. Naruto stepped inside, wearing a black suit he had probably taken from Sasuke's own closet.

"Hey… teme. Today is the funeral." Naruto had been softer on him lately, but Sasuke had not said a word to him, or anyone for that matter since he and Hinata Hyūga identified and confirmed the dead bodies of his brother Itachi and her cousin, Neji Hyūga. "Come on Sasuke. You gotta come and say goodbye to your brother."

He placed a hand on Sasuke's shoulder who shrugged it away. "Leave me alone…" he hissed in a whisper which Naruto was not intimidated by at all.

The blonde sighed and sat down on the sofa. He laid his head back and looked at the stars. "I saw Hinata-Chan. She was a mess, worse than you." Sasuke didn't respond. "She blames herself Sasuke, for texting Neji while he was driving, for forcing them to go on ahead without her. She said her dad now hates her more than he ever has." Sasuke lifted his head slowly, and turned to look at his best friend. "It was an accident, Sasuke, you need to go to the funeral."

"Naruto—"

The blonde lifted a silver flask. "I know it's gonna be hard man, but this should make it easier."

/

It wasn't nice. There was no such thing as a nice funeral. Sasuke stood in the center of the room, surrounded by hundreds of people all in black.

He felt strange.

Naruto had disappeared to help Sasuke's uncle with the service. He recognized many people he had seen before at the dinner parties, galas, and meetings he hated to attend so much. He saw Hiashi Hyūga and some other Hyūga elders sitting all together in one section.

He felt really strange.

Sasuke reached into his coat pocket, grabbing the flask Naruto had given him earlier and took a sip. He spotted an exit, and made his way towards it finding himself at the foot of a flight of stairs. Wanting no one to follow him he switched the lock on the door, and made his way up seeing where the path would lead him. Finally arriving at the top he was greeted by the night breeze, a glowing moonlight, and the sight of Hinata Hyūga, standing at the ledge of the building, looking down.

"Gonna do it?" He asked, walking towards her. She seemed to be leaning forwards and rocking back and forth unsure of what to do.

Hinata looked back at him, tears running down her cheeks. A cold wind blew and she shivered, but Sasuke hardly felt it. "It… it was m-my fault…"

Sasuke jumped up on the ledge beside her. His face emotionless. They shared the same dark circles underneath their eyes.

He looked to the ground himself not feeling a single thing, "It's gonna hurt, landing."

"My sister hasn't woken up." She covered her face with her hands. "My dad blames me for everything. This… this guilt. I c-can't handle it." He wasn't going to comfort her, and she didn't want it anyway. She wiped the tears from her face with her sleeve, looking down at the ground again. "We… were supposed to be with them. We were supposed to die there too."

Sasuke looked to the girl next to him, seeing all the sadness, and pain she was feeling. "Ever since I saw them… since I saw that fucking car flipped over… I haven't felt anything." He stepped off the ledge back onto the roof, and grabbed the girl by the arm, pulling her back. She collapsed to the ground, seated on her knees and he sat down next to her. "We didn't die."

Hinata looked to the Uchiha boy and moved a bit closer. "I want to die, Sasuke…"

He wasn't sure what came over him. He had felt so numb, and he didn't care about anything. He didn't feel sad, or guilty. He felt cold, as if he was walking through below freezing weather with no jacket, no way to warm up. He couldn't feel anything at all.

He moved his hand to the back of her head, pulling her slowly towards him. "I want to feel something."

Her lips were inches from his, "I want to.. to forget everything. I don't w-want to feel l-like this…"

He roughly attacked her lips with his, wasting no time pulling off the black knitted sweater she had worn. He felt her touch when she started to kiss him back, placing her warm hands on either side of his face. She moved her hands behind his head, running her fingers through his soft black hair and he pulled her closer to him. He lifted her up, to straddle his lap and roamed his hands over her body. She pulled away for air, panting heavily as he placed his forehead against hers and looked into her eyes. They both needed this and knew that they could not feel whatever it was they were feeling at the moment with anyone else.

The next morning she woke up alone on the roof of the funeral home.

/

They continued for weeks, turning into months. Time seemed to pass by quickly as things changed. She had run away from her home, abandoning her wealthy status as a Hyūga. He had been given an apartment, as his aunts and uncles took over the business he could not touch till he turned twenty-one. She had spent more time at his place, and he didn't give it much thought when he made a copy of his key and left it for her on his dresser.

What they had was not love and they were both fully aware of that. They shared an attachment, a connection, a past that haunted them. But he did not love her, and she did not love him.

Most nights they would escape, through pills, powder, or alcohol.

And they would fuck. Hard.

They managed to keep it to themselves for a while.

Until one day Naruto walked in on them.

Sasuke gasped for air when he woke up seeing white all around him. Slowly sound began to fill his ears and the first thing he heard was the steady beeping of a heart monitor. He sat up slowly, his vision blurry focused on a dark figure sitting in a chair in front of the bed he laid on. It took a few seconds when his vision cleared and he saw Hinata seated in front of him. She was glaring at him, not a single ounce of concern visible.

"Why the fuck did you do this?" Sasuke muttered, his voice low and raspy. Hinata narrowed her eyes at him, gripping the handle of her chair. "I told you I didn't want to be here anymore."

Hinata grit her teeth behind her closed lips, her knuckles turning white. "I saved you."

"I didn't need fucking saving!" Sasuke yelled.

She stood up from her chair and walked closer to Sasuke as he sat up more to face her.

"If you didn't want to be saved then why did you text me?!" Hinata grabbed her cell phone and smashed it on the ground. "Why the fuck would you do that?"

Sasuke grabbed her by the wrist, pulling her close to him looking directly in her eyes. He was breathing unevenly, furious. "I can't fucking think about him anymore! I can't do it."

"Shut up." Hinata snapped attempting to pull her wrist back but his grip was strong.

"I don't feel anything at all." Sasuke continued, and Hinata continued to struggle. "Who the fuck wants to live like that!"

"Shut up!" Hinata yelled louder. "Shut up!"

Naruto ran into the room, looking at the two angry teenagers. It was strange for him to see them express themselves so openly. He figured they were just that comfortable with each other. "Hey Hinata calm down. Sasuke let go of her."

"It's not like you even really care right?" Sasuke pulled her even closer. "Cause I'm not even the one you want right?!"

The two seemed to ignore the blonde still glaring at each other.

"Sasuke I…" Hinata wiped her tears with her free arm. "How c-could you do what y-you did?! Do you think it's what your family would have wanted for you!? I- I need you here with me! You- y-you asshole!"

Sasuke let go of her wrist and knocked down a lamp beside him. Hinata stumbled back now glaring at the ground where the shattered pieces lay. The room was dark now, and Sasuke remained quiet.

"Hinata—" Naruto tried.

"You don't even fucking care." The girl looked at Sasuke once more before storming out of the room.

Naruto sighed and turned to look at Sasuke who was now seated on the edge of the hospital bed, his glance to the ground. He had a furious look on his face, and Naruto moved towards him.

"Do you remember when we first met?" Sasuke lifted his glance to look at Naruto for a second and quickly looked away. "We were playing baseball, and you threw the ball so hard at me I started to cry. Then you came up to me, and I thought you were gonna say sorry but instead you just stared at me and told me that I look really stupid crying over something that will pass." Naruto stuffed his hands in his sweater pocket. "Later I found out your parents had just died."

"What's your point?" Sasuke muttered.

"You're not the type of person to feel sorry for yourself you know. No matter what kind of shit you've gotten yourself into." Naruto sighed, "you need to live Sasuke. I never met my parents, or had a brother so I don't know what it's like to lose them but today… when Hinata and I found you I thought to myself this is what it must be like, you know, to lose someone… you can't do that to us."

Sasuke looked to his best friend who had a hurt and angered expression on his face.

"Naruto… I need to tell her…" Sasuke stopped talking, as if his next words were impossible to come out. He clenched his fists and groaned. "I need to see her."

The blonde smirked. "I know just the way. Oh and one more thing." Sasuke froze when Naruto punched him across the face. The Uchiha growled and grabbed his friend by his shirt. Naruto grinned. "If you ever try to do something like this again, I'll kill you myself."

Ino took a breath as she plopped down beside her best friend. They sat on the rooftop of Naruto's apartment building, underneath the cloudy sky.

"Wanna talk about it?" Ino asked, reaching in her shirt for a familiar silver flask. "You're falling in love with him, aren't you?"

Hinata exhaled a breath of smoke and shook her head, "I'm not in love with him, and he doesn't love me either."

Ino took a drink from the flask. "Who are you trying to convince?" The dark haired girl rolled her eyes as Ino chuckled softly. "Naruto told me what happened. He said Sasuke's uncle is putting him in some medical facility for a while."

Hinata turned to look at Ino, confused. "W-what?"

"Yeah." The blonde shrugged and showed Hinata her cellphone which had a message from Naruto on the screen. "Don't worry he didn't tell anyone else what happened just me." Ino popped her cellphone in her pocket and looked at her best friend. "So if you don't love him, what is it that you're doing?"

Hinata glared at the girl. "I can't love him."

Ino scoffed, leaning back to look at the sky. "Please, if you're worried about Sakura don't be. Last I heard she's with Gaara."

"It's not about Sakura! Or anyone else!" Hinata laid next to her, "Ino it's my fault that his brother died, and that my cousin died and that my sister hasn't moved in one year!" She covered her face with her hands to stop herself from crying. "I caused him so much pain. If it wasn't for me he-he wouldn't have done what he did today."

Ino rubbed the top of Hinata's head softly. "Hinata, accidents happen. It wasn't your fault." Hinata was still, hiding her face from her friend.

"You weren't there, Ino. You don't know anything about what happened." She shook her head. "I can't be there for him. Because if I ever told him my real feelings, it would all be over."

Ino moved closer and hugged the girl tightly as she began to whimper. "It's okay." And Hinata cried louder as Ino caressed her back in comfort.

They had locked themselves in Naruto's bedroom as the blonde partied out in the living room with the rest of the gang and a room full of classmates and strangers. The music was loud, but they could only heard muffled lyrics and voices. They were able to drown that out, and stood on opposite ends of the dark room just looking at each other. Neither had said a word in about ten minutes. Sasuke examined her clothes, and realized she was wearing the same black knit sweater from they night they first got together at the funeral. They had no words and perhaps that was the problem. So many hours, days, weeks they had spent with each other and hardly any words were ever shared.

He wanted to feel something, he wanted to feel her. There was something about her that drove him crazy, it was special, unique to the Hyūga girl. He could sleep with anyone of his choosing, but she was the only one who had made him feel something. They shared an unspoken connection. They didn't care what anyone else thought but Sasuke did care that he was beginning to rely on her too much.

He didn't want to rely on anyone. Never again. But he also did not want to lose her.

They had left the party without gaining any attention from anyone. They got in his car, and ended up in his apartment. It was still a mess, just as he had left it, just as she had found him. Sasuke locked the door, and Hinata shut all the windows. They kept the lights off, and ambient music began to blare through the apartment. They met in the center of the living room, and after hours of silence she finally spoke up.

"Y-you're really leaving?" She asked, looking to his chest instead of looking up at him.

"I don't really have a choice." Sasuke answered, "I leave tomorrow."

"You scared me." She said softly. "Sasuke... I... I..." She looked down, unable to say anything. Sasuke placed his fingers under her chin lifting her face towards him.

"Don't say it."

She nodded in agreement and kept her eyes locked with his. For the first time in a long time, she wanted to run.

But she didn't.

She threw her arms around his neck, and kissed him.

The next morning she woke up alone in Sasuke's bed.

"I figured I would find you here." Naruto walked into Sasuke's bedroom where Hinata laid in his bed. She was under his covers, the ambient music still playing and all the lights still off. "Good morning sunshine."

"C-couldn't leave." She was wearing one of Sasuke's shirts.

Naruto flipped on the light switch causing the girl to groan and cover her eyes with her arm. She slowly peeked one eye out and sighed. "Why are you here, Naruto?"

He sat on the bed, and softly moved Hinata's arm from her face. "He told me to come check on you." Hinata sat up slowly clutching the blanket to her chest. "He said you can stay here."

Hinata shook her head, "I can't stay here without him."

"He figured that you'd say that too." Naruto stood up and offered her his hand. "So I've got an extra room too." She was reluctant to grab his hand but did so and allowed him to pull her out of the bed. Hinata ran her hand through her hair and looked to Naruto. He smiled at her and placed his hands on her shoulders. "Don't worry about, Sasuke. He'll be fine."

Hinata looked down and picked up a silver flask laying on the foot of the bed. "Yeah, we just have to be here for him when he gets back."

Not a SasuHina fan honestly but I'm making this up as I go. :P
