~Flashback~

It had been a week since Sasuke had seen Hinata and was very surprised when he saw her with Naruto and Sakura waiting for him by the gates one day. Sasuke glared at Hinata, "What is she doing here?!"

Sakura gasped, "Sasuke-kun Hinata is a part of our team for this mission."

Naruto backed up Sakura, "Yeah dobe show Hinata some respect."

Sasuke just rolled his eyes and started walking, "Whatever a mission with the three of you this is going to be hell." The mission was to find a ninja of the leaf that had gone missing, they had been searching for four days and still they haven't found him. One night Sasuke woke up in the middle of the night he looked over and saw two sleeping ninja's and one empty sleeping bag. "Where the hell is Hinata?"

Sasuke got out of his sleeping bag and searched for the missing Hyuga he was surprised when he found her training. He watched her train throwing kunai and channeling chakra until she felt herself being watched. Sasuke immediately disappeared and was in his sleeping bad before Hinata knew who was watching her. The next night it Hinata went off to train again and Sasuke followed her again not letting her know he was there. He didn't know why but watching her was interesting she was trying so hard and didn't seem to be getting any better. And that fact bothered Sasuke as much as he kept thinking about her; he even started walking next to her but never said a word.

It wasn't until the night after they were attacked by the missing ninja they were looking for. He had turned against Konoha along with a bunch of rogue ninjas he met and attacked the team. They were better than expected and if Naruto hadn't turned Kyubi they may not have survived.

Sakura was taking care of Naruto's injuries leaving Hinata and Sasuke alone around the fire. Hinata had just finished bandaging up her scars when she looked up and saw Sasuke with his shirt off, she gasped when she saw all the scratches across his chest and upper arms. Hinata remembered Sasuke got into a fight with one of the rogue ninja with metal claws. "S-Sasuke…are you ok?"

Sasuke just shrugged, "Yeah I guess these are going to scar really bad."

"I-I c-could h-help y-you if y-you w-want."

Sasuke looked over at the stuttering girl, "Well I do have that medical kit you gave me." Sasuke reached over into his bag and pulled it out, he had just thrown it in their as he was packing.

Hinata was surprised he'd even bring it, Sasuke was given lots of gifts by girls she's never seen or heard him ever doing anything with them but throwing them away. "Y-Yes b-but I'll have t-to t-touch you d-do you mind?"

Sasuke was a little shocked no girl had asked to touch his body they just grabbed him; he got up and sat on the ground next to Hinata. Tossing the medical kit in her lap "Sure just don't faint or anything."

Hinata's hands were shaking a bit as she applied some ointment on Sasuke's scratches, in the middle of applying ointment she let out a yawn. "Sorry Sasuke I'm just a little tired."

"Maybe if you actually slept instead of training you wouldn't be so tired."

"H-How'd you know?"

Sasuke rolled his eyes, "Doesn't matter why do you do it? I saw you with your father so why do you continue to train?"

Hinata decided to tell him the truth, "I-I'm tired of b-being w-weak…..I w-want to b-be s-strong and I-I'll d-do anything t-to d-do t-that." Sasuke just nodded he tried not to show that he was bothered by what she said. She sounded like him a couple of years ago he'd let that consume him and the thought of her turning out like he did sickened him for some reason. Hinata changed the subject as she finished applying ointment to Sasuke's scratches. "T-There all d-d-done by tomorrow t-they s-should start t-to f-f-fade."

She was right when Sasuke woke up the next more all of his scratches were all healing and starting to fade away. But what Hinata had said still bothered him through the night and for the rest of the mission he couldn't get it off his mind. In a couple of days they were back in Konoha and where coming out of the Hokage's office when Naruto said, "Hey Hinata and Sakura I'll walk you two home."

Sasuke grabbed Hinata's wrist, "No need to do that you can take Sakura let's go Hinata."

Hinata let Sasuke drag her down the Konoha streets, "S-Sasuke where are w-we g-going?"

"We are going to the training grounds I'm going to train you from now until you get better!"

~End Flashback~

Hinata didn't know that after that mission that everything would change that she would one day be stuck in the uncomfortable situation. Sasuke groaned, "I'm talking to you Hinata, why did you leave?"

Hinata shook her head, "I don't have to tell you that's my business."

Sasuke turned away from her and stared at the ceiling, "Why did I even ask you would probable lie to me anyway like you have before."

"When have I ever lied to you Sasuke?"

Sasuke snapped back at her, "How about every time you said you loved me?"

In that second Hinata became something that she only did in front of Sasuke and became very angry, "How can you say that? You think that I lied about being in love with you!"

Sasuke didn't let Hinata's raised voice bother him, "No I know you lied because if you honestly loved me like you said you did and I don't know how many times I'm going to say this to you. If you truly loved me you would never have left me ever!"

Hinata didn't recognize the man across from her this is not the man she dated just a year ago, "You've changed, you'd never talk to me like that before. You're so bitter….I hate it."

"Whatever this is the new Sasuke and if you haven't noticed he doesn't care what you think."

Hinata didn't know what to say anymore she didn't want to argue with Sasuke anymore. She looked over at him and couldn't deny she still had some feelings for Sasuke but right now those feelings were clouded by her hatred of the new bitter Sasuke. But to be honest she knew she had made him this way he probably would have been the same guy she feel head over heels for. She sat there listening to the party going on upstairs wishing she was there instead of stuck with the man she once wanted to spend the rest of her life with.
