Naruto Pov
Hinata, a name, a girl, a monster, someone that ruined everything. And it's all my fault. I'm the one that brought her with us, I'm the one that insisted in not killing her, I'm the one that set her free, I'm the one that left her alone with Sakura, I'm the one that left Sasuke thinking it's fine to feel what he did for her. Anyway, there's still a bit more to tell until that part of regret.
I was looking for Sasuke unaware of what he and Hinata were doing. Walking into the busy streets gave me a feeling on peace. People were smiling, playing, running around. The war was over for over 2 weeks and the peace times were just setting in.
That's when I noticed a pinkette walk absently to her house. I followed after her into her house, room only to see her crumble and fall. To see her cry. I loved Sakura for a few months when we were 14 or so… but I gave up. Even so to see someone you held dear cry hurts. I slowly hugged her. She was shaking and crying, I had no idea what was in her head…I wish I knew, I wish I stopped her.

Sasuke Pov
"-But I might have done something bad"
Those words left my mouth without me thinking. But I found a way out. Lying to her face, her eyes were looking into my soul expecting bad news, the worst there are… I know that she won't like it so I preferred to lie.
"I should take this…corpse out. I should have been more careful"
Throwing this nameless man into a dark alley to let him rot I realized I killed 2 men today…and I felt nothing.
I got back to Hinata. Her big doe-eyes were on the door waiting for me to come back. And when I did she smiled, I smirked and the room was on fire again.
'everything's fine'

Hinata Pov
A few days passes since I last saw Sakura…I missed my only girl friend but with Sasuke around I didn't really have time to think about her. Right now we were sitting in silence. He's staring at me I can feel it, I love the attention he gives me, I love the way his hands touch me, I love the way his lips feel against my bare skin.
I rose my head to look at him and he was indeed staring at me. I cupped his cheeks and kissed him slow, slow, slow until he took control and deepened the kiss. Addicting, he was so addicting…
I ran away before from 'perfection' but I was mistaken…I loved Gaara but…I adore Sasuke and it's so bad. I can't even think straight when he's around.
I'm so afraid, I've felt pain and numbness for the past years but now I'm so scared. I don't want to lose him. I can't lose him. Tears started to run down my cheek and onto Sasuke's face. He moved away and looked at me worried.
"What's the matter?"
"I…I can't do this. I don't want to hurt you! But I don't want to run… I can't! I don't want to lose you"
Those words left my mouth so fast and I started to kiss Sasuke like my life depended on it…and it might have. His hand rubbed my back and he kissed me back. Numbness. I wanted to feel that…love.
A face popped into my head and I smiled against his lips. I found my way out.

Sakura Pov
I've been doing my best to avoid them, and it's pretty easy since they moved from Ino's shelter to Sasuke's house and I'm pretty sure they haven't gone out…until now.
Hinata was on the streets…crying. And it fucking hurt to watch! So of course I went to talk to her…because that's just who I am.
"Hinata…? Are you alright?"
"S-sakura…"
She hugged me, tight and I returned it. People around us were staring and whispering, but I really didn't care…couldn't care because she was in my arms. Sasuke made her cry.
"Let's go to my house…we can talk there"
She simply nodded against my shoulder and we started to walk slow to my house. I saw Naruto and he looked strange at me so I just turned my head away. He wouldn't understand…
Finally reaching my room Hinata stopped crying. She was playing with her hair in an attempt to distract herself from her problems.
"He killed him"
I couldn't understand her whisper…killed..? who killed who…?
"Sasuke…he killed Gaara. That's why he was covered in blood. And I… when I found out, I felt nothing."
"W-well…from what I know you…don't have feelings..?"
"No…I only feel pain or numbness…"
"That's awful"
I didn't realize I was crying until a small sob escaped my lips.
"But- there's a way I can get my feelings back…I just need help"
"I WILL HELP!"
XXXXXXXXXXXX
Hinata Pov
"I WILL HELP!"
She agreed without knowing what she was going and Hinata almost felt bad for her…almost. So Hinata started to tell her about the legends, how a soul eater that was once human can get back its feelings but only if a human being agrees to help without being forced.
All she had to do was a small sacrifice ritual. A few drops of human blood on a bowl of salt, some candles a few incantations in the middle of the night. Nothing hard.
And of course Sakura did that. Everything went according to the plan. The ritual was almost done, all there was left was a question.
"Would you, Sakura Haruno, give me your heart?"
"Yes…"
The candles were blown out, the windows opened, the wind was crazy. The pinkette looked lost and Hinata.
"Is it working?"
She smiled, a pure gentle one. And she hugged Hinata.
"This means it's working doesn't it?!"
She started to doubt her ways, starting from meeting the blonde hunter to tricking the pikette into selling her soul. Nothing could be done now thou, not anymore. And as her heart started to beat and Sakura's scars started to fade her feelings came back to her. Pain, guilt, fat tears ran down her cheeks and she screamed on top of her lungs, the wind blowing her hair back, he fell on her knees hands flew to her face to cover her eyes. Mouth still open.
"DON'T! STOP PLEASE!"
All of a sudden to wind stopped and Hinata looked back up at her… friend. Her hair was long, she was skinnier, tanner, more exotic. Her hair shiny but eyes…they looked dead.
'did I look like this too…?'
She didn't, she looked often in mirrors and her eyes still held some kinds of life. Sakura's didn't.

Normap Pov (from now till the end)
Something was terribly wrong. He saw the 2 girls walk into Sakura's house hours ago…what was going on? Then all of a sudden all the windows opened and Naruto felt the cold wind blow by him, evilness.
He ran into the house without noticing the other human following close by him. He walked into every room looking for the 2 and found them minutes later in the kitchen, the table covered in candles.
On the floor there was Hinata that was crying and in front of her…Sakura…with long hair? Wait! Long hair?!
Naruto ran to look at his childhood friend only to find her scars gone and eyes dead…
"WHAT DID YOU DO!"
He turned to Hinata and was so close to cutting her with his sword but was stopped by another one. Sasuke his friend was saving this...this…this MONSTER!
"SASUKE! What are you doing?! S-sakura she's…"
"I'm so-so sorry…"
The slow whisper came from Hinata and both male looked at her, one with hate the other with pure adoration and love. Sasuke hugged her.
"I'm sorry I killed him"
"I'm sorry I…t-traded places with her…"
Naruto couldn't stand this anymore. One of his friend was a soul eater and the other was insane! And it was all her fault!
"Naruto"
Sakura's voice woke him from his delusional thoughts.
"What…happened?"
XXXXXXXXXXXXXX
Hinata asked her if she'd gave her her heart and she would. She thought the 'ritual' was working but…Hinata started to cry and told her to stop…and she didn't feel her heart hurt. All of her feelings ran from her.
Sakura felt her body temperature drop, her hair growing longer and saw her scared hand heal… Naruto came in and so did Sasuke.
"Naruto. What…happened?"
"You're….a s-soul eater"
"That's…not possible"
And it couldn't! She's not a monster!
"Hinata, she traded places with you…the candles, the salt and blood… that's all it took"
"And a human to agree without being forced…"
"Yes…"
Naruto hugged his pink haired friend. And whispered how sorry he was. This was all his fault. Sakura was one of those monsters she hated, Sasuke was insa—Sasuke!
As Naruto turned around his best friend was gone and so was… that bitch.

"Sasuke..where are we going?
"Far away. What he said…is it true?"
A long pause and no answer. Hinata was on his bed while he as packing some things for their long journey. He took all the money he had saved and a few clothes he wore a few years back for Hinata.
"Are you human?
He tried again and this time his lover only nodded. This was perfection. He kneeled before her and kissed her.
"Let's go"
They set their mind to leave Konoha and never look back . A life of runaways was waiting for them and both were so thrilled to get to it. One that knew what kind of life that was and the other just wanting to spend his days with his love. One that found having a heart strange and one that was delusional.
Here she goes again, running from something she found to be so perfect at the beginning leaving behind her only broken bones, hearts and minds. A pink haired girl being what she hated most and a blond hunter blaming himself forever.
The two midnight haired persons held hands while running to the stables, Sasuke placed everything he had packed and Hinata on a horse before getting on himself. And they started to move towards the exit of the capital to start their life…too bad they haven't made it very far.
The horse was hit with an arrow and he started to run faster but left the couple behind. Slowly coming their way was a pink haired soul eater with a bow in one of her hands and with the other she was pulling a lifeless body by its beautiful blonde hair.
"Going somewhere?"
Neither of the 2 could answer before their souls were taken. The bow was now on the ground and Sakura was dragging her…'friends' back to her house. It was middle of the night none around the streets.
Even after ages the soul eater still talked to her friends, they are very good listeners. All the curtains closed not even a ray of sun in the room so the bodies would forever be intact.
Sasuke, her first love was nicely tided to a kitchen chair his hand on the table under his chin, he almost looked like he was…sleeping.
Naruto, her best friend and the only boy that truly loved her was on the sofa in the next room, the living room. His head rolled back a bit, a hand in his lap and the other under his neck.
Hinata, the girl that tricked her and yet she loved so much was in her bedroom, not tied or anything…she was on the bed just like a stuffed animal.
She had wonderful friends she could talk to, never was she alone. This was her perfection.
Ok so...I love Sakura and i loved the way she was in this story...only her feelings were pure from my point of view. I know it's harsh and all but...ehh whatever. I like to kill ppl at the end i guess? I feel bad for Naruto since...it was technically his fault BUT he never did anything wrong ?
Anyway i really would LOVE to hear what you thought about the story (this was the first one i EVER wrote, i started it like 2 years ago but dropped it and started it again now...) I'm working on another story but i haven't finished the first chapter yet and it's preeeeetty long (well for me xD i usually write 2-3k but this one is almost 6k and it will be longer probably)
So sadly i won't be posting too soon...and the second sememester is staring and stuf
Whatever i've talked way too much. Love you all -Dia
