Chapter Five

As the two were walking hand and hand a lot of people seemed to be staring at the two but they weren't paying them any attention. "So did you hang out with Sakura-san today?" Hinata asked as she looked at the ninja. He nodded.

"Did you have fun?" She smiled.

He looked at Hinata and frowned. "It was okay. What are you trying to get at?"

"Nothing…it's just Sakura-san she likes you so much…" She whispered.

"I don't like her…if anything she's like a sister to me" He told her. She looked at him and nodded. "I can tell that. It's like with me and Kiba-kun and Shino-kun they are like my brothers…that's the kind of relation we have with each other" She smiled.

"What about us? Would you place our relationship in that category?" He asked thinking back to Kiba words. Sasuke wanted to know what Hinata thought of they're friendship.

"What do you mean? Like do I think of you like a brother?" He nodded. She blushed before talking as she turned away from him.

"Well I said that…I love you Sasuke-kun…b-but it's not like a brother-sister type love like Neji-niisan and I…its different" She blushed. Sasuke eyes widened as he looked at her. Her whole back was facing him now; she was really bashful at the moment. He hugged her from behind as he placed his face on her cheek.

"S-Sasuke-kun…!" She said in a startled tone.

"No one is watching…don't be so bashful Hina" She blushed. He kissed her cheek as he let her go. "I have to go…Sayonara" He whispered as he turned his head. Hinata gave him a confused expression. Why was he acting so different?

"Have fun with Naruto" He said still not turning around to meet her face.

"H-Hai…I will" He started walking but he turned back around a kissed Hinata. He shocked and stunned her. She wasn't expecting him to kiss her especially like this. This kiss was like a husband would give his wife; it was and felt like a very intimate kiss. She slowly closed her eyes as she kissed him back. When they parted he looked at her with a blank expression as he caressed her cheek.

"I love you Hinata and I want you to always remember that" She nodded as she looked at him. She didn't know why but she was starting to get teary eyed. His thumb wiped her eyes.

"Don't cry there is no reason for you to cry" He told her as he smiled at her. She smiled as a slight blush came across her cheeks.

He was doing this because he was going to leave to going to Orochimaru the next day and he wasn't going to see her because he was going to try to avoid everyone tomorrow including Hinata. So that meant no hanging around Sakura, no annoying Naruto begging him to go to the ramen bar with him, and no Hinata all day tomorrow. He was planning on staying in his home not his apartment but the Uchiha manor all day until its dark.

"Come on I'm going to take you to this place that I sometimes go to when I want to be alone" She looked at him and nodded her head. "Where is that?" She asked.

"You'll see when we get there" He smirked as he looked at her. He grabbed her hand as he pulled her close towards him. She blushed as she looked at up at him, but she noticed something different about him…it was the look in his eyes; he looked like he was guilty of something. Her eyes narrowed in concern. Her hand reached up to touch his cheek as the two were walking.

He gave her an odd stare as he looked at her. "What is it?" He asked.

"Is everything alright Sasuke-kun? I mean you look like-"

"I'm fine don't worry about me." He smiled at her. Seeing him smile like this make her feel a little bit better.

&&&&&&&&&&&

They both finally made it to the area Sasuke was trying to take her to. It was surrounded by trees with butterflies flying around, with a waterfall with a rainbow showing, while the water had flower blossoms petals flowing on top of the water and the air here smell like pretty flowers. Hinata looked around in amazement as she looked back at Sasuke.

"This is so beautiful Sasuke-kun and you come here?" She asked looking around. He nodded. "I like…um places like this…it's quiet and peaceful" He mumbled as he looked away from her. She smiled.

"I loved it here…" He pulled her arm leading her closer towards the water. She gasped at what she saw as she looked at him in a speechless way. There was a blanket laid out with a panic basket with food inside.

"Sasuke-kun you did all of this?" She asked while blushing. He nodded.

"All for me?"

He walked closer towards her as he grabbed her chin pulling her in for a kiss. "I did this all for you…my Hina" He smiled as he blushed. She felt like she was on cloud nine. She couldn't believe that Sasuke, the same Sasuke she grew up with, the same unromantic stoic Uchiha did this all for her.

"Hinata are you okay?" He asked seeing that she was quiet all of a sudden. She snapped out of her trance as she nodded.

"I'm fine…I'm just so speechless. I still can't believe that you did all of this…for me. It's so romantic" She jumped on him swinging her arms around his neck. "I love you so much Sasuke-kun" She said happily as she grinned rubbing her cheek against his. He blushed as he slowly hugged her back.

"I-I love you too Hinata…I love you too" He said as he held her tight. But as he was hugging her unknown to him and Hinata Naruto was watching them both.

"You teme I thought you didn't like Hinata" He hissed as he looked at Sasuke. Sasuke quickly let go of Hinata startled that someone had saw him with Hinata not like he was ashamed of her more of letting people see his soft side was more like it. When he turned around to face the blonde he looked really pissed like he was going to kill Sasuke.

"And you Hinata…I thought that Sasuke was just your friend and nothing more" He frowned as he looked at her. Hinata was taking back that Naruto was using this tone with her.

"What were to doing spying on us anyway?" Sasuke said in a not so clam voice. Naruto ignored the question. "I thought that…you liked me Hinata" He asked while looking at her. Her eyes widened as she looked at him as did Sasuke's.

"How did Naruto-kun know that I like him?" She thought as she looked at him. "H-How…d-did you k-know?" She stuttered as she looked at him.

"I always knew but that doesn't mean that I like you. I like Sakura-chan and I always will. She's prettier than you, smarter than you, and better I mean what guy would be dumb enough not to like someone like-" Before Naruto could even finish his sentence Sasuke punched Naruto in the mouth.

"Well I must be dumb because I don't like Sakura…I like Hinata and don't you ever talk about her like that again or I'll kill you" He hissed activating his Sharingan. Naruto looked at Sasuke with a stunned expression.

Hinata had ready had tears in her eyes and ran away from both Sasuke and Naruto. Both boys had noticed it but neither chased after her well Sasuke was but not just yet.

"You baka Hinata likes you and you just hurt her feelings"

Naruto narrowed his eyes in guilt. "I don't care what I did" He frowned.

"Well I do, Hinata is my friend, she my best friend and I don't like anyone talking about her. Hinata is one of the only girls in this whole village that acknowledged you and liked you but you're so wrapped up in Sakura who doesn't even like you. Hinata isn't my girlfriend or anything but I would be lucky to date someone like that…you could have been lucky enough but all you care about is that dumb Sakura" Naruto listened to Sasuke with a frown on his face.

"You know I don't even know why I'm telling you all of this because it wouldn't get through to that head of yours anyways" Sasuke walked away to go find Hinata.

Naruto stood there taking in what just happened. He knew he hurt Hinata's feelings but he was so jealous that he heard Hinata tell Sasuke that she loved him and it hurt him even more to see that they kissed once again. He lied to Hinata he said that he didn't like her but he does.

&&&&&&&&&&

Sasuke finally caught up with Hinata as he looked at her from a few feet away. She was standing there with her back facing him. He knew that she was crying, he sighed as he walked towards her.

"Hinata…don't let Naruto get to you. He didn't mean it…I know he didn't"

"Yes he did Sasuke-kun…he hates me"

"No he doesn't Hinata geez just listen to yourself. Why would he hate you? He doesn't…look I don't know why he lied but he did he didn't mean a thing what he said but it pissed me off that he did say it" He frowned as he looked away from her.

She walked closer towards him closing the gap between them as she hugged him. "Always stay with me Sasuke-kun" She whispered as she held him tight. He narrowed his eyes. "Hinata…there…there is something I want to ask you"

"What is it?" He took a deep intake of breath. "Hinata…I'm leaving again" He whispered. She quickly let him go. "B-But you-"

"I know I know…but I want you to come with me" She stared at him blankly.

"N-Nani…say that again?"

"I want you to come with me. You don't want to leave me and I don't want to leave you…so come with me"

"B-But…where are you going? Why are you leaving? If I leave with you I'll become a missing nin and so will you. What about my family and Kiba-kun and Shino-kun? Will we ever come back" She was asking him way too many questions at once but he was going to answer them all.

"I'm going to train…"

"Train but you can train here, in Konoha" He shook his head.

"I want to become stronger than what I am and I can't do that by staying here in Konoha…I need to leave. You are right we will become missing nin's but if we were ever found I'll tell them that I kidnapped you and held you against your will that way you won't get punished, like I would. Now as for your family they won't care Hinata you and I both know that. Your father could care less if you were dead or alive" He stated bluntly also not mentioning that it was Orochimaru that he was going to get train by.

"S-Sasuke-kun!"

"What? It's the truth, you and I both know it. He doesn't care and it would be a miracle if he ever did…it's always been me that was by your side and just recently Neji started back talking to you…but that doesn't matter"

"I-It does matter…he'll be worried about me"

"Yeah…but let him worry it'll teach him for being mean to you all those times and trying to kill you…he'll feel bad, now Kiba and Shino…I don't know all I can say is make new friends…" He mumbled. She remained quiet.

"Now…for that last question…we won't be coming back" He stated as he looked at her. She gasped as she looked at him. "Hinata please come with me…I really want to leave this village and I'm not going to leave without you by my side" He said while looking her in the eyes.

"S-Sasuke-kun d-do you really want me to come?" She asked. He nodded his head as he looked at her.

"W-Well…I guess…I'll stay by your side" She looked to the ground blushing. He smiled as he looked at her. "We'll leave later today…since you're not going to be going on that little date with the dobe" He stated as he looked up into the sky.

Hinata was still quiet as she looked at the ground. "Let's go back to the waterfall and eat…I'm not going to let that go to waste not after I went through all that trouble" He smirked as he looked at her. She nodded her head.

The Uchiha looked at Hinata and could tell that she still wasn't to sure about coming with him if it meant leaving Konoha but he wasn't going to leave if she didn't come along with him and he was going to find anyway to get her to come anyway.

He started to walk ahead of her leaving her to think alone about whatever it was that she was thinking about.

"Leave with Sasuke-kun? This is a big step…I'll become a missing nin. Sasuke-kun is right about one thing father wouldn't care if I was gone or not and Naruto-kun" She stopped walking as a sad expression appeared on her face. "Naruto-kun he hates me…I was wrong to ever think that he'll like me, he thinks I'm ugly" Sasuke stopped to turn around to see that Hinata was a few feet behind him mopping most likely about what Naruto said. He sighed.

"Are you coming or are you just going to stand there all day thinking about the dobe" Hinata shot her head up and stared at him with wide eyes.

"I'm not t-thinking about N-Naruto-kun" She stated with a stern expression as she started to walk faster until she passed him and was now walking ahead of him. He smirked.

"Sure you weren't" He mumbled as a slight frown appeared on his face. When they both finally made it back to the picnic Sasuke looked at Hinata as she sitting on the rock near the waterfall. He smiled to himself as he looked at her. She looked like an angel sitting there like that to him.

"Come here Hinata…I want to talk with you about a few things" She nodded as she walked towards him and sat down on the blanket be side him.

"We will meet here okay"

"Later tonight?" She asked. He nodded.

"Bring only what you need. Like weapons and etc anything like clothes you can always buy more so don't bring too many" She nodded.

"Maybe while we are out on this journey…you'll find someone suitable to help you restore your clan" She smiled as she looked at him. He remained quiet.

"You really want me to find someone don't you?" She nodded. "Yes…that way you'll be able to restore you clan like you always wanted to" She blushed. He smiled at her. He knew that she really cared for him and only wanted to best for him like he did her.

&&&&&&&&&&&&&&

The blond haired ninja was sitting down alone at the now empty Konoha Park. He hated himself right about now; he hated what he said to Hinata just a few moments ago. He slammed his fist on the ground.

"Damn it…why did I say all of those things to her" He yelled causing near by birds to fly away. As he was yelling this Neji approached him.

"Why are you out here yelling like that?" He asked. Naruto looked up at the male Hyuuga. Naruto remained quiet. There was no way he was going to tell Neji that he yelled at Hinata, Neji would kill him.

"It's getting late out here" Neji mumbled as he looked up into the sky. "There hasn't been a chance that you seen Hinata-sama out here have you?" He asked.

"…Hinata…" The blonde thought as he narrowed his eyes. "Yeah I seen her…she was with Sasuke" he answered honestly.

"Sasuke…I see. Her father doesn't even want her near him and he's made that clear over five years ago" He smirked.

"And you never said anything?" Naruto asked.

"No…it's not any of my business who she hangs around. I can care less just as long as he doesn't hurt her but I know he wouldn't do anything like that…he cares for her too much to do anything like that" He mumbled the last part. Naruto looked at Neji and noticed the frown on his face.

"Well if you see Hinata before I do tell her to come home before it gets too late and she gets in trouble again" Naruto nodded.

Neji walked away to go home. Naruto sighed as he looked at the ground. "I can't believe i said all of that to her. I have to apologize to her. I'll do it tomorrow…it'll be best to wait"

&&&&&&&&&&&&&&

"Ano…Sasuke-kun are you here?" The young Hyuuga girl whispered into the darkness as she activated her Byakugan to see if his chakra was near.

"I'm here" The voice said. Hinata deactivated her Byakugan as she walked towards Sasuke. He looked at her white eyes as he place his hand on her shoulder.

"Are you ready?" He asked her.

"H-Hai…I'm ready" He smirked as the two jumped up into the trees but the quickly made a stop as they were running. "Hold it…those guards down there" Sasuke whispered as he looked below at the Konoha gate to see the guards standing there.

"We need a distraction…" He looked at Hinata.

"What are you looking at me for?" She asked. He smirked as he looked at her.

&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&

"HELP SOMEONE KIDNAPPED MY SEEING EYE DOG" The old lady yelling as she was running bumping into poles and the walls. The guards quickly ran towards the lady.

"Ma'am…we can help you" The taller guard informed her.

"Oh thank you kind sir…" The old lady smiled

"Now how does this dog of yours look?" The other guard glared at him and sighed mumbling the word 'idiot' under his breath.

"Well…I'm blind so I can't tell you that"

Sasuke smirked as he watched from the gate as he walked outside the gate along with Hinata.

"I didn't know you knew Kage Bunshin…" He said.

"Yeah…I learned it from watching Naruto-kun…" She stated.

"Well let's go before they realize that that clone isn't a real person" He stated as he grabbed her hand and ran.

&&&&&

The two were finally out of Konoha. As they two were running Hinata made a quick stop causing Sasuke to also stop. He looked at her and noticed the look on her face.

"What's wrong?" He asked while looking at her.

"Are you sure…that this is the right thing to do? I mean…leaving Konoha like this?" She asked in a barely audible voice. He jumped off the branch he was on and jumped on the one she was standing on.

"Oi…" He whispered as he held her chin up. "Listen to me Hinata and listen good, I don't want to stay in Konoha anymore. I'm tired of being there…I want to train to become stronger and I can't do that by staying any longer there in that village. I brought you with me because I didn't want to leave you like I did before, you are my best friend and I want you by my side always…do you understand?" She just nodded as she looked at him.

He just smirked as he looked at her. "Come on…we have a ways to go" She nodded as they both leaped off and continued running from tree branch to tree branch.

&&&&&

"Ah Sasuke-kun is coming…I can sense him" The snake guy said while grinning. Kabuto looked at Orochimaru not saying anything.

&&&&&

It was now the next day and Neji had been looking around for Hinata for the last three hours. No one had seen her, not Kiba, Shino, Shikamaru, Lee…no one. There was only one last person he could think of…Sasuke.

The male Hyuuga was running towards the Uchiha's apartment only to see not only Naruto and Sakura there but also Kakashi, the Fifth, and some ANBU.

"What's going on here?" Neji asked as he looked ay everyone. Sakura had tears in her eyes as she looked at Neji.

"S-Sasuke-kun…h-he…he left that village yesterday" She cried. Neji eyes widened.

"He what?" Neji said in disbelief. He looked at Naruto who had a sad expression on his face.

"Yes it appears he set up a distraction the other night to escape…" The fifth stated.

"That Sasuke…the baka. Why would he do this?" Naruto clenched his fists tight as he watched Sakura cry.

"We are sending out ANBU to search for him today" Kakashi stated as he looked at Neji. Neji nodded.

"…Has anyone…happen to see Hinata-sama" He asked as he looked to the ground. Everyone looked at him shaking their heads.

"Iie…I haven't seen her since yesterday" Naruto stated.

"Don't you two live under the same roof?" Kakashi asked not understanding how Neji have not seen Hinata all day.

"Yes we do…but Hinata-sama never came home last night. Usually if this happens I'll see her by now…but I haven't. I'm really worried" He mumbled the last part so no one had heard him.

"Well do a search party for Hinata as well" Tsunade stated. Neji nodded.

"Hinata hasn't been home since yesterday? This could all be my fault for yelling at her like I did yesterday. I'm such an idiot" He mentally cursed himself.

"I want to be apart of the search party for Hinata" Naruto stated as he looked at everyone mainly the Hokage.

"What about Sasuke?" One of the ANBU asked.

"I want to find Hinata first" He stated. Everyone nodded.

"Very well…go summon the team 10 and team 8, and all of the Jounins, along with more ANBU. Inform them that we have a missing Uchiha and Hyuuga and we need to find them" The ANBU nodded as they all disappeared.

"Naruto and Neji you two will be apart of the Hinata search party" They both nodded.

&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&

Meanwhile the Uchiha and the Hyuuga were closing in on they're destination. Sasuke could sense Kabuto's and Orochimaru's chakra. "Almost there" He thought as he jumped from tree to tree.

&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&

Finally the two made it to they're destination. Hinata looked at who was currently in front of her and Sasuke. She hid behind Sasuke as he tugged on his shirt.

"Ah Sasuke-kun you are finally here" The snake guy stated but frowned when he noticed Hinata.

"Who is this?" He asked looking at the timid girl that was standing behind Sasuke.

The grey haired ninja also stared at Hinata. "I've seen her from somewhere. But where?" Kabuto thought as he looked at the female Hyuuga.

"This is Hyuuga Hinata" Sasuke stated. The frown remained on Orochimaru's face as he looked at the girl.

"What is she doing here? With you?" He asked.

Sasuke ignored his questions and began talking. "I will only stay and let you train me if she can stay here too" He stated as he glared at the Sennin.

"Hm…?" He looked at Hinata more. "She is a Hyuuga" He said as he looked at her. Sasuke nodded. "Hum, I'd never thought that you'd bring anyone here with you…especially a girl none the less. And if it were a girl I would have thought it to be that girl from your team that has interest in you" Sasuke frowned.

"Well can she stay or not?" He asked.

Orochimaru smiled. "Sure…just as long as she doesn't get in my way" He stated as he gave the young girl a dark glare. Hinata shivered from the glare as she held onto Sasuke tightly.

"I have something that I must attend to. Kabuto show them to their rooms" Kabuto nodded as he watched Orochimaru disappear.

"Come" Is all Kabuto said as he stated walking.

As they were walking Hinata looked up at Sasuke. She had so many questions as to why he was here. But she wasn't going to ask any questions until they were alone.
