Recap for Ch 15…Together again
Inches apart, she breathed nervously, her eyes began to close and their lips touched each other; at last.
…
The kiss started soft, but Sasuke deepened it, she tasted him, and he tasted her. They loved it.
Finally releasing the kiss, both breathing heavily they looked at their eyes once more, "I thought I was going to loose you" he told her.
He still had his hand on hers, he brushed the hair off her face, and she blushed.
He thought he was going to loose her? He must have been worried sick, she looked at him and then noticed his eyes.
He looked tired. Did he even sleep at night or was he that worried? "You need to rest, Sas-Sasuke"
"I will, don't worry." He told her, he didn't want to worry more than she was now.
There was a knock at the door "Hinata, you must rest now-" the nurse opened the door.
"Hai" Hinata told her, she looked at him, but he still saw the sadness in her eyes, "-she's thinking about the battles" he thought waiting for the door to close...
...
Kakashi stared at the ramen, it wasn't even his second bowl, it was the first and he had that look on his face.
"Is something wrong with the ramen, Naruto?" Kakashi wondered.
"No-" he answered him, Kakashi' eye gave him a questionable look, "What is it then, Naruto?"
"Kakashi-Sensei-?" he said looking up at him, Kakashi looked at him, then Kiba "-Will Hinata be able to be in the battles?"
"So that's it-" he told himself. "Well is she?" Kiba asked this time.
He sighed "Well, Lady-Tsunade said she can't force herself to for a week maybe more time to recover and gain her strength-"
He pause and saw Naruto' as well as Kiba' eyes sadden "-so no, she will not be in the battles."
"It's not fair!" Naruto told him, looking down at the bowl of ramen he saw her, Hinata; training hard.
She always did, she did it to prove to anyone she was a Shinobi. That she was someone.
"Naruto-" Kakashi began, and then he heard Kiba whisper.
"-In the hospital I noticed her eyes, she was disappointed I guess that's when Tsunade told her she had to rest. Not being able to be in the battles with us."
Kakashi nodded knowing he was right "Yes" he knew they were disappointed, Kiba knew her,.
Naruto, he just couldn't bear the thought of Hinata not being in the battles knowing she wanted to.
"-I don't know if we can do anything, Naruto"
"You can't but-" he looked at Kiba, "-we can" eating the ramen in two seconds he and Kiba along with Akamaru left.
"What now?" Kakashi said.
...
"I see-" he told him, "-you want me to postpone the matches?" he asked.
"Hai-" he was lucky the Hokage didn't call Kakashi or Tsunade when he showed up here.
He as well as for the Hokage knew he had to be in the hospital resting, gaining his strength.
"Sasuke-" the Hokage said gripping his hands together and setting them on his desk he looked at him, really looked him.
He had sneaked out of the hospital and come all the way here; to tell him he had to postpone the oncoming battles, just so Hinata could be able to be in them.
"-If I may say something Hokage-sama-" he said, Sarutobi looked at him and nodded, indicating he was listening.
"-Truth be told I'm doing this for Hinata-" he looked at the Hokage, Sarutobi was looking at him "-she's trained harder than any of us and well,-"
"Old-!" he heard Naruto' loud voice, the door burst open "-Sasuke?" he asked his comrade.
What was he doing here? Was he here to tell the Hokage he couldn't be in the battles either?
"What are you-" he groaned. It was the pain, and him. He interrupted him, man he was such a pain.
His focused was back to the Hokage "-Hokage, I-" Naruto began but was elbowed by Kiba.
"Sorry to interrupt, but we have come here to ask of you to postpo-"
Sarutobi stopped Kiba I have heard and seen enough, you are all dismissed. Sasuke go back to the hospital and rest."
He looked at Kiba and Naruto "Naruto-" the blonde ninja looked at him "-just don't get into trouble."
He smiled "-that goes for you to Kiba"
"Right" he said scratching the back of his head. The tree shinobi left him, sitting back his chair.
He sighed, "Aw Uchiha Sasuke," he looked at the arraignments for the battles "-I wonder?"
What is he thinking? What about the battles. Stay tune and review.
