Happenings

Recap:

Lying in bed Hinata daydreamed about Sasuke. When lightning suddenly hit and thunder roared, Hinata quickly turned around. A mistake. Something or someone was standing in front of her door, in the room. And her door was locked. Scared out of her wits Hinata looked up. When the lightning flashed she saw the face of Uchiha Sasuke.

Chapter 3- Devilish Smirk

"Uchiha-kun?" Hinata breathed out. 'Oh, good god. I thought it was a burglar or something.' "U-uchiha-kun…wh-what are you doing here?" Hinata mentally sighed with relief.

Sasuke just stood there staring at Hinata. He didn't answer any of her questions and it was slightly scaring her. He could be very intimidating when he wanted to be. He took a step in front of her window, into the small light the moon provided. Hinata gasped as she saw his Sharingan swirling and blazing. "A-are you okay U-uchiha-kun?" Hinata asked timidly. He tilted his head slightly then smiled a devilish smirk.

Hinata huddled deeper into the confines of her blankets. She knew she couldn't lie. She was frightened. Of him. He advanced closer. She sank deeper into her blankets. "Tell me Hyuuga do you love Naruto?" he asked in a cold monotone. "What?" Then it dawned on her. 'He saw you…with Naruto. He hates you now.' a small voice inside her head told her. "I-I-I'm sorry…Uchiha-kun," she murmured. "I'm v-very sorry," she tried her best to look straight into his eyes.

He came closer, until he was standing at the edge of her bed. "Are you really sorry?" he whispered hovering over her. Plucking all her courage Hinata sat up and attempted to have a normal conversation with him. Out of the corner of her eyes she saw the edges of Sasuke's lips twitch upward into a very small smile. Or smirk, whichever. "Yes! U-u-uchiha-kun, y-you saw me w-with N-naruto-kun…d-didn't you?" Hinata looked down at her hands.

Ignoring her question he repeated his own, "Do you love him Hyuuga?" this time not so coldly. Hinata shook her head. "No…I don't love him…anymore." She hadn't stuttered once. For some reason she felt proud of herself. He still had his intense glare on her. She hesitated then looked up at him. "Tell me then…what is love?"

"Love?" Hinata repeated faintly. The question caught Hinata off guard. "Love is…I…I th-think love is being with the p-person that makes you ha-happiest. Or a p-person that makes you f-feel special. And whenever y-you can't be w-with them, you feel l-lonely. You would always w-want to see th-them smile. And you n-never want to h-hurt them or see them h-hurt. " Hinata squirmed under Sasuke's intense stare. (Uh...I still don't know what love is. I never had a boyfriend and never really plan to. I went from 12 to 15, and I'm still the same! So, I'm just speculating. Lol)

"If I were to tell you I love you, what would you do?" he asked. Startled, Hinata looked up at him, forgetting that he had been scaring her a second ago. "I-I guess I'd s-say I love you t-too," she quickly averted her gaze to her hands. Placing an index finger under her chin he forced her to look up at him. She wasn't sure if she was blushing, scared, surprised, or happy. Hinata was sure she was feeling a mix of all the emotions. "Y-yes?" she squeaked.

He pulled his finger away from her chin. Hinata looked surprised. 'He's so random,' she couldn't help but stare at his eyes. He looked like he was studying her. The black dark depths of his eyes also seemed to hold sadness, weariness, and anger. To put it simply it looked like there were all sorts of feelings stored in him. The darkness in his eyes seemed to never end. The feelings had no where to go. As if…as if they were stuck there forever.

(They shouldn't fall in love so quickly, I realize that now after my revision, but if I mess it up then it'll screw my story over. Besides, most of you remember what comes next huh? ^-^)

He suddenly pushed her onto her bed. Hinata was rather shocked, who wouldn't be? "A-a-anou…U-uchiha-san, wha…"she gasped. Poor Hinata, she finally noticed what he was wearing. Boxers. Just some black boxers. She was sure her face was as red as a tomato. He smirked. He lay on top of her so that she was pressed beneath him and whispered, "Are you scared?" Hinata was breathless. Not because he was on top of her and cutting off her air supply but because of how close they were. "Are you?" he murmured into her ear.

Biting her lip, Hinata managed to nod. He quietly and gently brushed a strand of hair off of Hinata's neck. Then he rolled off her onto the other side of the bed. "Did you really think I'd hurt you?" he inquired. Hinata slowly nodded. For the first time she saw him smile. A genuine smile. He shook his head and slightly laughed. "Why would I hurt you?" He flung his right arm around her waist. Blushing madly, Hinata murmured something inaudible. "Speak louder please," Sasuke said. Taking a deep breath Hinata said, really fast," I thought you were really really angry with me because of what Naruto-kun did." She hadn't stuttered. He stared and then nodded.

"Yeah, I guess I was angry…and a bit hurt," he added. 'Possessive really,' he thought. Hinata apologized. "It's okay… it was just a kiss on your forehead after all." She wasn't listening. "Hyuuga?" he pulled her closer to his body. Hinata, having been pulled from her thoughts, gave a little surprised yelp. "That was for not listening to me," he smirked when she blushed. "Ah…s-sorry," she squeaked. "What were you thinking about?" he asked. "Ah…n-nothing!" she instantly replied. "Really? I kinda have a feeling that you're lying to me…now why do you think I have this particular feeling?" he asked.

She looked away from his dark orbs. "I-I was th-thinking about the r-room a-across from m-mine, everyone t-tells me not to g-go in th-there…I was j-just wondering why. I know Neji-nii is trying to protect me…but I-I'm still c-curious," she confessed. There was silence. "Ah…That's my new room," he informed her. She didn't answer him. Thinking she was too shocked to answer he looked down at her. She had fallen asleep. "Tch," he pulled some blankets on top of both of them and watched her sleep.

'She's adorable, ne? And very cute…not to mention a bit hot,' Sasuke thought as he watched Hinata's sleeping form. Her chest rose and fell with every breath she took. She unconsciously slung an arm on top of his chest. Her fingers slightly brushed his collarbone. He shivered at the feathery touch. 'I think I ought to sleep,' he thought. Not so long after that thought he fell asleep beside the one he loved.
