Disclaimer: I will never own Naruto, or any anime for that matter…

Chapter 2- Sadness has company

She felt his tight embrace around her shoulders; she just started to sob more into his stomach. She couldn't deal with this pain on her own, she wanted it to become numb, and she didn't want to feel like this. All she wanted was to be happy. He held her tighter as he felt her body shake from the sobs coming out of her. He raised her head and looked into her eyes.

"How about we get out of work for the rest of the day, and we have some bonding time?" She looked at him; she didn't know what he was up to, until something clicked in her head.

"Sasuke I don't-"

"I'm not trying to hook up with you or anything, I see you more as my friend, a sister, not as a fuck buddy or anything else."

She laughed at his terms. "Do you have to be so vulgar?"

He smiled. "Come on, let's eat and enjoy our day." She smiled at him, she felt somewhat happy, and she just wanted to forget the pain Naruto left behind. Their food arrived and they started to eat. Sasuke looked at her, started to examine her behavior. He looked at her eyes, he knew that look all too well.

'I wish I didn't let you go…' he thought to himself. He got so lost in thought about the girl he loved.

Flash back

"Sasuke…why are you doing this…" He looked at her in complete silence. He watched the tears flood her beautiful eyes.

"It has to be done…you have so much for you here, and I have so much for me over there…I'll be back.."

"Sasuke, I don't want anyone but you! I love you so much!"

"Just stop…You can find someone better, find someone who will love you, and show it ten times more than I do. I have to go.." Sasuke starts to walk away.

"Sasuke please…Please don't go!" She runs behind him and hugs him from behind. "Please Sasuke…Don't leave me like this!"

"You can find someone better….just go ahead."

"Sasuke..I-" he shrugged her hands off him and walked off to the plain Terminal, without a glace back. He knew if he did, he would never go through with this, he knew she'd be happier with someone else, he knew he is not what she wanted. But he knew he wanted her..

End of Flash back

"Sasuke?" Hinata said while snapping her fingers in his face. "Earth to Sasuke!"

"huh?" He blinked and looked at Hinata. "Sorry I was just..lost in thought…" He placed his hands in front of his face and looked out the window to his left.

"Your eyes are watering, what were you thinking abou-"

"Come on, why don't we go get a couple of drink and see where the day takes us?" Sasuke got up and placed his hand in front of her. "We can both use it!"

She laughed and got up. "Well I haven't had a real drink in a while, so that sounds pretty good to me" She grabbed his hand and stood up. "Who is paying for it?"

"I got it" Sasuke pulled out a 20 and a 5 and started walking out the diner. Hinata laughed a little and walked next to him.

'What have I gotten myself into..' she thought to herself, but what was she going to lose, she already lost everything she loved. The day went into the night, the sky grew darker, the drinks grew stronger, and the mind grew weaker. It was 12 a.m. and Sasuke and Hinata were wasted. She let Sasuke into her apartment.

"I finally opened my door!" She yelled louder than needed.

"Yeaa!" Sasuke went into her house and into her room and jumped on her bed. "Damn this is such a comfortable bed!"

"Yea that's why it's mine!" She said jokingly. She jumped on the bed next to him. "Sasuke, am I a good person?"

Sasuke drunkly looked at the girl lying next to him. "I think you are amazing! Beautiful! Talented!"

"Then why –hic- am I not GOOD ENOUGH!" She yelled at the ceiling while raising her arms.

"You are! –hic- it's just, people don't see it! If I didn't see you as my sister, I would so –hic- bang you and be with you, but we both know, there is someone else-hic-"Sasuke admitted.

"I still…-hic- Love Naruto! Who do you-"

"I love…I…love…-hic-"

"Who do you-?" She turned and saw a sleeping Sasuke, she laughed and curled up in her blanket and fell silently to sleep. "Why do people we love hurt us so much…" Were the last words she said until she drifted off to a silent, pain less sleep.

"ugh what happened last ni-" Sasuke turned over to see Hinata, her hair was a mess, her shirt was falling off.."What happened last night…"

Hinata awoke to a shirt less Sasuke, and messy hair. "S-Sasuke?" She said startled. She didn't know what happened last night but she was worried.

"What…what happened last night…" She sat up and looked at the floor in front of her while rubbing her head. But as soon as she regained consciousness, her eyes grew wide.

"We…we didn't.."

"trust me we didn't.."

"How do you-"

"I would of left already.."

"What?"

"Sorry force of habit when fucking a girl, I just leave.."

"Well I guess the rumors are true, you are a player"

"Either that or deal with girls crying in the morning when I say I have to leave"

She laughed. "You got me there, well since I slept with you, want something to eat?"

Sasuke laughed a little. "Some coffee and toast would be nice.."

"And an aspirin or two?"

"Heh yeah hangover?"

"Yup" She walked to her kitchen and got the things to make coffee. She stared at her counter, she didn't know what to feel right now, she didn't feel sadness, but she didn't feel happiness, she felt numb. She put the coffee beans in the machine and pressed the button to start the coffee machine. She watched as the coffee slowly made its way into the pot. She didn't see any reason to go on, she wasn't excited for anything, she didn't look forward for tomorrow. She wrapped her hands around her self. She looked at the trees move in the wind and she remembered the moment Naruto placed his lips onto Sakura's. She held onto herself tighter. She wanted this misery to go away. She felt a sudden embrace around her.

"Naruto.."

"Hinata, what's wrong.." She opened her eyes to see Sasuke. She smiled, though she was disappointed. She just wanted someone around, to keep her company.

"Sorry, I was lost in thought is all…"

"I see that..hey you want to just, stay here and watch TV and stuff, I mean its Saturday, we don't have much else to do" She smiled at his suggestion.

"I'd like that.." She looked at the coffee machine and waited till it stopped to serve them both coffee. She brought the cups to the living room and sat next to Sasuke.

"Hinata…" she responded with a small hmmm while drinking her coffee. "What are you going to do?"

"About?"

"This, not being with Naruto anymore.." She looked down. What was she going to do? "You can't just sit here and mope around day by day.

"Sasuke.."

"hm?"

"What did you do when you lost that special someone?" Sasuke fell silent and looked at his coffee in his hand.

"That doesn't-"

"We are being honest with each other; now tell me what did you do?"

Sasuke sighed in defeat. "I Mopped around…for a real, real long time, I drank every night..I felt like there was no reason for me to live anymore. I loved her, in fact I still do, but she probably meet a fine guy who will shower her with love every single day, it was something I couldn't do.."

"Why.."Hinata asked bluntly. She never saw this side of Sasuke before. She worked with him, even went to high school with him, but she never really talked to him.

"I was so devoted to work, I was young, I wanted to get a good job, so…so I can make her happy, give her the house she always wanted, make her smile each and every day, give her the wedding she wanted but I couldn't do that with my original salary. We were fine, making ends meet, until I got a job offer that would pay me 25 dollars an hour, just starting."

"That's amazing!"

"I Know, now I make 35 an hour" he smirked. "She was so thrilled, she was happy for me, but then they told me, I would have to stay in America for a couple of months. I wasn't going to put her through that, she wa studying to become a medical student, why would I crush her hopes and dreams for me..So I told her I'm going to America and I wanted her to stay here, she argued and argued with me, she said she wasn't going to leave my side. I told her I.." Sasuke stopped talking. The tears from the diner were coming back again. "I told her we were through, she could be happier, find a better life for herself.." Those words brought sensations of feelings back again. "she cried. So much, and I wish I never saw her cry, But I know it was for the better…"

"Sasuke…"

"I left to America, I didn't look back, I wanted to not hold her from her dreams, her happiness, and I let her be free. I let her be happy even though I was not."

"Sasuke I, I'm so sorry.."

"You know Hinata, I sometimes wonder, what is she doing now, is she happy? Has she found someone..heh you know, she always told me, at her wedding, she wanted pink Sakura flowers everywhere, even on her dress, and she wanted the groom to where black and pink…I hate pink, but I was going to do it…for her, cause I loved her." Sasuke couldn't hold it; tears silently fell down his face. "Every time I think about it, my heart gets ripped a new whole, more emptiness fills me.."

They sat in complete silence; she never thought they would have similar situations. "I let him go, and I understand what you mean, it is the most horrible pain a person can face.." She sighed and looked at the ceiling. "I just hope he is happy with her, I guess I'll be the old lady with a thousand cats." Hinata laughed a little and Sasuke looked at her weirdly.

"And I'll be that old guy who hates kids and is grumpy all the time." Sasuke and Hinata laughed.

"What are we going to do with our selves.."

"That's a good question…"

The day went on and they talked and talked about their lives, hardships, everything. Them being together, helped them ignore the void inside their heart. It got late and both had fallen asleep together. Hinata had her head on Sasuke shoulder, and his head was on top of hers.

"Hinata! Oi Hinata!" She turned around and saw a blonde boy running at her.

"Wh-what is it Naruto?"

"I..I wanted to..to um.."

"Well?"

"Know if you would go on a date with me!"

"A-Adate?''

"Yes, tomorrow…for dinner?"

"U-um, of course! I-I'd love that.."

"yes! Thank you so much! I'll see you then Hinata!"

"Y-yea see you.."

"Naruto….." His figure started fadeing into a cold darkness. "Naruto don't go!" The room became dark around her. She looked for him. "Naruto!"

"Naruto!"

"Hinata!"

"Come back! Naruto come back!"

"Hinata what's wrong!" her eyes shot open and she saw Sasuke with worried eyes. "You were yelling are you-"

Without a second thought she began to cry in his arms. "Naruto…Naruto.." She cried out his name. All the pain came right back. She wanted to numb it again. He held her close. He didn't know what to say to her, he understood how she felt.

Her crying started to decrease to the point she fell asleep, he held her close. "You're going to go through so much pain…" he closed his eyes and pictured the girl he loved. "Why couldn't we be happy…" A tear fell from his eyes and landed on her head.

The night passed on and it was Sunday. Hinata awoke to Sasuke's arms around her. She moved out of his grasp and walked to the window. She sighed and watched as the rain came down. She didn't know what was going to happen. She heard a slight sound from the couch.

"Sasuke?"

He sat up and looked at Hinata. "You okay?"

"Yea just looked at the rain.." She smiled a little and continued looking out the window. Sasuke got up from the couch. He walked to her and placed a blanket around her shoulders.

"It's going to get better…"

"I hope your right…"
