Hinata cried herself asleep against the door; in the middle of the night she felt a pair of arms pick her up bridal style. She groaned and yawned she rubbed her eyes, "W-What's going on?" She looked up at the person holding her and sighed when she saw it was Sasuke. "This is the worst dream ever."
Sasuke smiled at Hinata as he walked her to her bed, "Why because I am here?"
"Yes because it's not real, Sasuke left me today he didn't even say goodbye to me."
Sasuke laid Hinata on her bed, "I did leave and I tried to say goodbye but we got interrupted."
Hinata pulled the covers over her head, "See that's why this is a dream now please go away." Sasuke sat on the bed and pulled the covers down and reached out to touch her cheek. Hinata flinched when he touched her cheek, "Owww I feel pain I'm awake."
Sasuke reached over and turned on the bedside lamp and took a closer look at the bruise on her face, "What the hell happened to you?!"
"It's nothing….I just got hit by Neji."
Sasuke immediately jumped up, "What I'll kill him?! What room is he in?!"
Sasuke walked over to the door and was about to open the door when Hinata skidded in front of it, "Sasuke calm down if you leave this room someone will see you!"
"I don't care; I won't let you be treated like this. I'm going to do something about it. No-" He didn't finished his sentence because Hinata cut him off with a kiss.
She pulled away, "Calm down please."
Sasuke sighed, "Fine."
Hinata wrapped her arms tightly around Sasuke, "What are we going to do?! I don't know how much more of this I can take I hate this place, and my stupid family. I wish I never had this stupid Hyuga name."
In the middle of talking Hinata broke down and was now sobbing into Sasuke's shirt. Sasuke started rubbing her back, "It'll be ok Hinata."
Hinata managed to get out between sobs, "No it won't be because we can't be together."
Sasuke knew he shouldn't say what he was about to but he said it anyway, "Hinata if I asked you to runaway with me would you go?"
Hinata's tears started to stop, "W-What?"
"I can't stay here I'm moving to Konoha with Kakashi. So I'm asking you to runaway with me to leave all of this behind and never come back."
Hinata let go of Sasuke and wiped her tears away on her sleeve, "Really?"
Sasuke nodded, "I'm not going to lie to it's not going to be easy, but I don't know if I can live without you anymore. So what do you say?"
Hinata eyes brightened and a big smile graced her face, "Yes!"
"Yes?"
Hinata ran to her dresser, "Yes let's go right now, we can be gone by morning."
Sasuke reached out and grabbed Hinata's hand, "Listen if we leave now your dad will have every cop after us. But if we wait till Friday till after you're eighteen which will give you time to pack all your things you'll need and we'll leave. Nobody will be able to tell us to what to do, and I'll go to Konoha set things up for us."
"So what we'll just hide out till Friday."
"Hinata just trust me on this please, besides it also gives you a chance to think this over and make sure you want a life with me."
Hinata grabbed Sasuke's face in her hands, "Now you listen to me Sasuke Uchiha I love you and nothing in this world will make me think otherwise. We can live in a shack and as long as I have you nothing else matter. Wait here." Hinata let go of Sasuke and opened the top dresser draw and pulled out a box and handed it to Sasuke.
Sasuke looked at the box in his hand before opening it up, "What is all of this Hinata?!"
"It's money Sasuke."
Sasuke sat down on Hinata's bed "I know its money but there is a lot of it in here."
Hinata nodded as she stood in front of him, "There's about fifty thousand in there its money my father gave me to pay for college I was never going to use it for that anyway, I want you to take it."
Sasuke looked at the money and then back at Hinata, "I can't take this Hinata."
Sasuke and tried to hand Hinata back the box but she wouldn't take it, "No Sasuke the minute I got that money I knew I was going to give it to you."
He made Hinata hold the box by putting her hands on it, "You're going to college Hinata now take back the money. I don't need it I can take care of you with my own money. I can't believe that you think I can't take care of you. I may not be able to give you a house like this Hinata but we won't be living on the streets. No matter what Hinata I will take care of you."
Hinata was confused by Sasuke's anger, "You think that I think you can't take care of me?"
Sasuke nodded, "Why else would you give me a box of money?"
Hinata placed the box on his lap, "I'm giving you this money because I know no matter what you'll take care of me but I want you to do something you love like fixing cars."
Sasuke's anger faded and was replaced with confusion, "Of course I'm going to get a job fixing cars, what else would I do?"
"Exactly so I want you to take this money to start your own repair shop."
Sasuke froze, he couldn't believe she remembered his dream, "I can't believe you remembered but I'm not sure I can take this."
Hinata grabbed Sasuke's hand and kissed it before holding it up against her face, "Please Sasuke take the money for me?"
Sasuke smiled, "Fine for you, thank you Hinata." Sasuke looked up at Hinata, "Funny thing is I've got something for you too, it was kind of meant as something you can remember me by. But now I've decided to do something else with you."
"What are you talking about?"
"Did you mean it when you said you didn't want to be a Hyuga?"
Hinata nodded and sat next to him, "Yes I hate it."
"Well…" Sasuke got of the bed and faced Hinata while going down on one knee.
Hinata gasped, "S-Sasuke w-what are you doing?"
Sasuke grabbed one of Hinata's hands, "Hinata I never thought the day you came into that shop you would forever change my life but you did. I know being with me hasn't been easy but I promise it will get better. I want to be with you forever so will you marry me?"
Hinata was know breathing heavily, "A-Are you serious?"
"Yes I'm serious Hinata I want to spend my life giving you back all the things you've done for me. Like tattooing my name on your back, the money, believing I could change."
"You changed my life I think we are even."
"Hardly but maybe this will bring me closer." Sasuke reached into his jacket pocket and pulled out a ring box.
He popped the box open and the ring sparkled, Hinata realized she was crying again, "Oh Sasuke it's so beautiful but it looks too expensive how did you afford that please don't tell me you used some of your saving?"
Sasuke looked away from Hinata and mumbled, "I kind of….sold my bike."
Hinata started shaking her head, "You're bike? Sasuke no I can't let you sell your bike."
"You deserve I nice ring Hinata."
Hinata did love the ring it was so beautiful she just stared at it for a moment, "I can't believe you used all the money you got for your bike on this ring."
Sasuke smirked and kissed Hinata's hand he was holding, "What do I always tell you, you're worth it. So will you marry me?"
The tears were now rolling faster off her cheek, "Yes Sasuke I will marry you."
"Hinata Uchiha I like that."
Hinata nodded, "Me too."
Sasuke took the ring out of the box, "Uh I'm not what sure which finger it goes on?" Hinata giggled and showed him her ring finger. Hinata looked at how the ring sparkled on her finger as Sasuke got up and sat next to her.
Hinata turned to hug Sasuke, "Oh Sasuke I love you so much…but are you sure we can't leave now?"
"Yes I am sure and I hate to say this but I should be getting out of here, I've got to get to Kakashi's truck and get out of here before anyone sees me."
Hinata hugged him tighter, "No I don't want you to leave."
"I have to but soon we will be together soon."Sasuke stood up but Hinata stood attached to him.
"Promise me!"
Sasuke lifted up her cheek with his hand, "I promise Friday night I will come for you." It took Sasuke another half hour to leave every time he tried he and Hinata would get into a heated make out session trying to say goodbye. Sasuke finally got the strength to leave via Hinata's window. Hinata fell asleep that night with a smile something she hadn't done as she in a long time.
Hinata awoke the next morning stretching and yawning in her bed, her ring catching the sunlight coming from her window. She smiled thinking about last night she couldn't wait to get away with Sasuke. A knock on her door took her out of her day dreams, her father walked into the room not waiting for her to respond. She quickly sat on her ring hand, "F-Father?"
Hiashi stood at the foot of her bed, "Good you are awake I have come to a decision you will no longer be attending your old high school. I am sending you away far away to one of the greatest boarding school, and don't worry about that Uchiha there in enough security there that not even a fly gets in without their ok."
Hinata knew not to argue it probable be at least two weeks before her father would send her to this school and by that time she'd be long gone. "Ok I understand father."
"Good now start packing you leave early Friday morning."
"FRIDAY!"
Hiashi nodded, "Yes now start packing your things." Hiashi left Hinata devastated alone in her room.
Hinata started shaking her head, "No, no why does is this happening to me. And of course there is no way I can tell Sasuke about this, Neji is always around me so there is no way I can call him even if I knew a number where I could reach him in Konoha. What am I going to do?"
Oh no poor Hinata! Will she and Sasuke end up together? Find out in the next and LAST CHAPTER of The Trade Off! Coming Soon!
