Part II

Chapter 6- "2 Years"

Hinata waited, waited, and waited. Those two years, as she admired the big golden heart around her neck. Sasuke gave it to her before he left to go with Orochimaru, that was the most painfuliest day of her life as she watched him leave on that night at midnight in the summer. She didn't stop crying for days, she felt a heartache like never before.

She would always sit in the group of girls as they went on and on. About their boyfriends and who's in the next relationship and who broke up with who, Hinata often thought about Sasuke and she felt like she couldn't say anything. Sasuke joined up with Orochimaru and Hinata only got five letters in the last four months from him.

Sakura looked at Hinata who just sighed, "How's Sasuke doing? What's he been up to?"

Hinata figeted, she was afraid of what people would think, "He got wounded the other day...On a mission..."

Everyone went silent then they went onto Tenmari's wedding plans for the next week. Hinata just backed away, she knew Sasuke's reputation wasn't the same after he left his starting village to join up with a villan and be on his team. He now bore the purple bow around his waist and had "traitor" across his eyes but Sasuke was doing it for revenge, he would do anything for his slice of revenge. He wasn't backing down.

Hinata just stared at the letter that she had stopped reading in mid-sentence. She was just too upset to read the rest, she loved Sasuke and he would be coming in a few days to visit. She wasn't excited as normal because he had been gone for months and she longed to see him again. She sat around and just looked out in the meadow until all the girls stopped. Hinata didn't look up and thought it was something else.

Sakura's eyes widened, "S-Sasuke...You're b-back?"

All of them gasped. His stare was colder than normal, it scared all of them. He pushed past all of them as he stood in front of Hinata. Hinata told herself she was dreaming as he put his hand on her shoulder. He petted her gently as he bent down at her level to see her. She refused to look until Sasuke's hand went on her chin.

He smiled, "Hey, babe. You miss me?"

Hinata blushed as she jumped into his arms. He actually came back, and earlier too. She was so excited, she had missed Sasuke for so long now and now they were back togerther again. Sasuke looked at the others as they walked away, he didn't care, he did what he had to do and now he was taking a break from all his other buisness.

Hinata managed to speak, "S-Sasuke, why did you...come back?"

Sasuke's eyes's widened as he touched her hair, "Your hair...Hinata, you look beautiful...It's so different."

Hinata blushed, her feelings hadn't gone away. They were still there. She smiled as Sasuke held her hands together and before she had time to look down a flower had appeared in her hands. A pink rose, had appeared as she took time to look at it and another exotic flower. She couldn't believe how pretty they were.

"Thank you...Sasuke." She kissed him on the cheek, "I can't wait to put this in my scrap book."

She began to walk away and Sasuke grabbed onto her, "Where are you going, Hinata? I want to catch up."

She blushed, "I thought you wouldn't ask."

Sasuke noticed the big golden heart around her neck. The same one he had given her before he left. He grabbed her hand and held it firmly, she still held on all these years and now Sasuke returned to her. She was speechless as she followed him into a Tea house, he smiled then got serious because he wanted to talk things out with her.

Hinata looked up as they sat down. Sasuke saw her gaze, it was like she was confused or not sure what to do.

Sasuke grinned, "What's that look for, Ina? You weren't expecting me so soon?"

Hinata smiled, "N-No, I thought...You'd come Thursday."

Sasuke laughed, "Yeah, I decided to come back...I missed you, you know."

Hinata sat down as she looked outside, she was worried about something, "Um...Sasuke, you know you...don't look the same to...everyone else."

Sasuke paused, he knew where this was going, "Ina...I know. My reputation changed, I know, I had to do what I had to do."

Hinata smiled, "Yeah...I guess you could say that..."

Sasuke looked out the window as he sighed. He hadn't seen Naruto so it was all good. He didn't want to see him but eventually it would happen. They would be face to face. Face to face again. Sasuke didn't want to think about it, he just looked at Hinata who played with her ice cream sundae. Sasuke flicked a french fry at her, as she blushed.

"Remember we used to do this at lunch?" Sasuke got another and did it again, "That was always so much fun."

"Yeah...I also remember...that time when Sakura dumped choclate ice cream in Ino's hair..." Hinata began to crack up and Sasuke started to laugh, "That was...terrible."

Sasuke couldn't stop laughing, "That was the highlight of my day that year, I wanted something bad to happen to Ino. Just wanted it."

The laughter stopped as Sasuke looked at Hinata with intense love in his eyes. His eyes were soft and loving, he miss her. All he thought about was their last moment together and about Hinata. It was a heartbreak that was horrible for both of them.

Sasuke sat next to Hinata as she rested her head firmly against his chest.

"I missed you, Hinata."

She looked back and smiled, "I...missed you too, Sasuke. I really did."

"Sometimes, I wished I never left you. I wanted to stay."

Hinata squeezed harder as Sasuke put his fingers through her hair. Sasuke wasn't always this affectionate, he was always distant or didn't always admit everything but when he met Hinata, he became very protective and affectionate. She was always the one that stood out from all the other girls, even if she didn't think that she was.

Sasuke rested his head closely, they had a lot to catch up on since two years passed by.

That's Chapter 6. Please R&R.
