The Day I Met Him

Hina's POV...

Leaning on Sasuke made me feel like I'm in heaven, he was so warm and comforting. My tears dried up and I snuggled further in his warmth, he was like my missing piece. The piece that I would die without.

Droplets of water hit my head it was soothing and I'm never the kind of person who would prefer wetness over dryness. But this time I'll make an exception because I'm with him. The rain drizzled heavily and Sasuke had no other choice but to pull me to a nearby shelter since I wasn't going to move on my own anytime soon.

"It's really pouring. It doesn't look like its gonna stop" he spoke sighing as I sneezed, he glanced at me and our eyes connected "Do you wanna come over to my house?" he smiled amused at my drenched state, I felt a cold coming over me and I couldn't help but except his generous offer, 'What a gentleman' I thought as we ran to his home laughing.

As we entered his residence my eyes glanced at the grey mail box, the name 'Uchiha' was graved on it. I wondered who Sasuke was related to, so I decided to ask him.

"Sasuke, who were the Uchiha's?" I bit my lip lightly as he passed me a white fluffy towel, it felt so warm and all I wanted to do is press my face in it and never let it go. "They were my family, they passed away in an accident" he said as if it was nothing and once again I felt a tug in my heart as the towel hung over my head.

'Dead? He must feel really alone.' I frowned to myself as I walked in the living room, I started to look around the place about me, it was really simple but yet elegant. A black frame caught my sight only to see a beautiful woman with dark lushes' hair, and deep onyx eyes. She was truly beautiful.

A smile tugged my face as I traced the frame and whispered my previous words again and again, "He looks just like her" I continued to whisper admiring her beauty. My gaze shifted to the other frames only to find another that caught my sight. This time it was two boys grinning widely and posing a peace sign at the camera, I glanced at the younger one he looked like a younger version of Sasuke, then I thought that must be him with his older brother by his side. They truly looked happy together.

A gold earring grabbed my attention, it was the same one that Sasuke is wearing but it was on his older brother. Averting my gaze I looked back at Sasuke "When did he die?" I asked hoping he would answer me and his next words caught me off guard "On new year's eve, three years ago" he coughed, it was my birthday when he died what an awful coincidence, "God" I whispered, Sasuke gave me a questioning look but I just waved it off.

Walking in to the living room farther more, I saw a strange plant that rooted itself in the middle of the room. 'What a strange plant' I thought to myself as I walked around it trying to figure out what type of rare plant was it.

Seeing my curiosity Sasuke chuckled and stood beside me "It's called Gekka bijin" he quietly answered. "Huh?" I raised a brow and Sasuke decided to elaborate "It's a type of cactus" that caught me off guard how could it be a cactus. "A cactus? But it looks nothing like it!" he smiled and crouched in front of it "Well. My mother used to like it, I'm named after it too".

I glanced at Sasuke he was smiling childishly at the plant, "How come?" I suddenly asked, he just scoffed and bored his onyx eyes to my pale ones "My mom said that this plant fights for its survival and that once a year in the summer...its huge white flowers bloom...they only last one night" at that my heart started to beat furiously, I didn't know but my heart just heaved at his words.

Suddenly I felt fingers entwine with mine, I looked down to see Sasuke's long fingers against mine, they were warm and soft. And the next thing I knew I was flipped on my back and Sasuke was over me, my heartbeat increased. What was he doing? My eyes widened as he neared his face to mine and feeling the cold air I panicked, lips against skin. This was all wrong!

Then all of a sudden Sasuke got off me, I gasped this was all too quick but for some reason I missed the feeling he gave moments ago. "Go home" he spoke bluntly and I felt hurt, "If you stay any longer, I don't know what will happen" I watched his back as he lowered his head in shame, my eyes softened at his weak moment.

I moved forward and caught his hand "It's okay...Whatever happens..." I spoke softly as I leaned into him. My lips brushed ever so light against his and leaned back giving him a small smile. Then I looked back at the cactus, it was wilting its sad how a beautiful plant faces its end, "Sasuke... This cactus doesn't look good. It's dying" I whispered in sadness and he just stared at it with furred brows, "It's a cactus...so I thought it didn't need water..."

I didn't know what went through his mind but... "Even a cactus can't live without water" I told him with a silly grin on my face making him grin back.

I raised my head to the sky, it was late but my father works till later so I'm safe for now. I just left Sasuke's home but for some reason I felt connected to that place, I really didn't want to leave I even considered that I'd lie to my father telling him I'm staying at a friend's house but Sasuke insisted that it's better for me to return home. So I didn't have a choice but to walk back.

A car whizzed by me stopping abruptly, I was confused to whom is in the car suddenly I realized I've seen the car before.

It was Neji's.

Oh god what do I say, it's better for me to lie then tell him I was with a guy, he'd kill me for sure. Neji opened his door and got out; he was smiling so that was a relief I smiled back and got in the car.

Neji was grinning which was quite odd I never seen him grin this much before but it's quite nice for a change, I remembered before he said he wanted to talk to me about something I decided to voice my curiosity.

"What did you want to talk about?" my eyes twinkled in interest what can I say? I'm a curious person, Neji smiled and stopped the car by the gates of a nearby park and turned to face me.

"I was planning to do this after you graduated from high school but... I changed my mind" he reached for his jacket pocket and took out a black box; I gasped as he opened it. The ring was beautiful; it was a silver band with trinkets of diamonds surrounding it, I was speechless.

"It's not too fast is it? ... Tomorrow's the 31st and you'll be 17" he smiled as he took the ring from its box and urged it towards me, "Put it on for me, Hinata" I stared in shock at the ring, this didn't feel right and I couldn't just let them decide my fate.

I looked at Neji apologetically "I... I can't accept this Neji..." I hesitated, I could see he was angry "It's because of that Sasuke guy?" He spoke coldly and my jaw dropped a bit how did he find out, "I'm sorry but I had him checked out" he spoke slowly and the next thing I know he held me roughly by the wrists "NO" I screamed trying to get away from his strong grip, but my tries went unaffected because now he held me under his body.

I squirmed and wiggled trying to get out of grasp but it was no use, I was frightened on what he'll do to me "You want him but not me?" he whispered coldly as he lowered his head to my neck, his touch was disgusting I felt violated, I let out a scream shaking my head in protest "NO, STOP IT NEJI!"
