The first time they met-actually met-it was…memorable.

Hyuga, Hinata Hyuga. Born of the Hyuga clan, the eldest daughter of the clan's leader Hiashi Hyuga. She had grown up since he'd left, she was still short 5'3" to be exact. Her dark indigo hair was no longer short but all the way down her back, stopping at her waist, she kept her hime-cut hairstyle and longer strands that framed her beautiful face. Dressed from head to toe in baggy clothing and black low heeled sandals.

Pale lavender looked into solid black.

Uchiha Sasuke. Last of the Uchihas, traitor of Konoha. He had grown tall, very tall, he was a foot taller than her. His hair seemed to have gotten longer with some hanging over his forehead but he still had it in the same style as before. Clothed in a high-collared short-sleeved shirt with a Uchiha symbol at the back, pants and a cloth hanging from his stomach to his knees, a rope belt and sandals with wrist bands.

The redhead came from behind with a kunai in hand aiming at Hinata, the blue haired kunoichi turned with speed, that he himself could appraise and hit the woman once before she crumpled to the ground. The Uchiha moved then, deciding to strike her when she wasn't looking, she turned to face him, blocking his attack and trying to land one of her own, but he was faster than her so he easily dodge her attempt to hurt him.

Their teammates were fighting each other which left her and him, he knew that she wouldn't be able to defeat him. Sasuke smirked and drew his katana and ran towards her and to his surprise she was able to stop his attack, clasping her hands over the blade looking straight in his eyes, she gave him a small smile.

"I'm sorry." she whispered.

Everything became black.

He groaned and open his eyes to stare at the ceiling.

"So you finally decided to wake up teme." a voice said.

"Are you ok Sasuke-kun?" a feminine voice asked.

Those voices...oh fuck!

The last Uchiha sat up to stare at his old teammates, one grinning brightly and the other one eyes held concern. The door open and a head popped in.

"Um Naruto-kun, Sakura-san. Tsunade-sama would like to see you." her soft voice said.

All their eyes turned to her, and the girl blushed and looked down, she really didn't want the attention.

"Ah sure Hinata-chan." Naruto said. "Can you stay with the teme here until we get back?"

Hinata looked at Sasuke and he glared at her, she shuddered slightly before turning back to face Naruto again.

"Hai. Naruto-kun." she said.

Naruto gave her a huge smile.

"Thanks Hinata-chan! You're the best!" he told her before leaving the room.

Sakura said nothing as she walked past the shy kunoichi.

When the door closed, everything happened to fast for her, she barely had time to duck before that fist connected with her face. She backed away until she was against a wall and Sasuke just seemed to stalk her.

"It's your fault I'm back in this God forsaken village." he hissed at her.

He tried to land another attack on her face but she dodged it only to get punched in her stomach. Hinata breath was knocked out of her, she looked back up at him and his eyes were the color of crimson.

"It was my mission to Sasuke-kun." she said with a labored breath.

He growled at her again and was about to hit her when someone caught his fist.

"That's enough Sasuke." Naruto's voice ordered.

Sasuke turned his head to look at him, his eyes still the color of blood. The raven snatched his hand from the blonds' hold and turned around, Hinata dropped to the floor, and Sakura went to help her, seeing if she was alright before letting her leave.

"I knew we shouldn't have left her here to watch Sasuke, she so damn weak she couldn't even defend herself!" Sakura said.

"That's enough Sakura!" Tsunade shouted.

Sakura stood still after that, as she looked at her master's serious facial expression. Tsunade then turned to glare daggers at Sasuke.

"You bastard." she said in a low voice that sounded like a growl.

The Uchiha said nothing as he stared blankly at her.

"She had it coming." was all he said.

Tsunade gritted her teeth and tried to calm down, if not she would smash his body into a million pieces. She turned and slammed the door on her way out.

Naruto looked back at Sasuke.

"Teme, you've gotten Tsunade-baa-chan very angry." he said.

Sasuke scoffed, he could give a fuck. Naruto sighed as he walked out the door, it was going to be long while before they could even get a fraction of his friend back.

"Why are you still here?" his cold voice called to Sakura.

Sakura tensed at his voice but then relaxed.

"Sasuke-kun..." she trailed off, she really didn't know what to say to him now.

Sasuke glared at her, those dark eyes piercing through her.

"If you have nothing to say. Leave." he tells her.

Sakura turns around and opens the door before she stops and looks back at him.

"I'm just...glad you're back Sasuke-kun." she says as she closes the door on her way out.

Sasuke just stares out the window and scoffs again.

"Glad I'm back my ass."

She loved winter, she loved how the snow would blanket everything it touched, she love how she shivered when the wind blew against her body. She raised her head and let the snowflakes stick to her face, she loved winter.

"Hey! Hinata-chan!" a cheery voiced called to her.

Hinata turned to stare at Naruto who was followed by Sakura and Sasuke.

"Oh hello Naruto-kun." she greeted with a smile.

"Hinata-chan why aren't you at your party?" the blond asked.

Hinata blushed and looked away shyly. In truth she didn't want to go because she didn't want to be fussed about. She really just wanted to spend her birthday watching the snow fall not being showered with things and attention. She felt herself being pulled in the direction of her home.

"N-N-Naruto-kun." she stuttered.

"You're not missing your party Hinata-chan." he told her with a smile.

Hinata just stared at him before she smiled with a blush on her face. Walking into the room, everyone turned to stare at her.

"Hinata! We were wondering where you were!" Ino shouted running up to the girl and hugging her.

"Ino-chan!" the shy girl squealed.

The blond chuckled before releasing the girl but kept on smiling.

"Come on everyone's waiting for you." she said taking the embarrassed girl and pulling her towards the others in the room.

Naruto and Sakura went and joined them, Sasuke just picked the quietest place in the room to sit down where no one would bother him. He just watched them as they talked with her, he growled, he still hated her for bringing him back here, then that dobe made him come to her birthday party, even she the birthday girl didn't want to be here, he unconsciously narrowed his eyes at her.

Hinata felt him glaring at her, so she looked at him and she was right. His onyx eyes seemed to be trying to light her on fire, she knew he hated her for bringing him back, he basically told her so when he tried to smash her face in. She knew he didn't come here on his own, Naruto probably made him come, she didn't mind though. She gazed away from him, and turned her attention back to Tenten who seemed to be talking to her.

"Hey Hinata time to blow the candles out!" Kiba shouted.

"Ok." Hinata said walking over to the table.

"Make a wish." Tenten urged.

Hinata closed her eyes and smiled as she blew out the eighteen candles.

"So what did you wish for?" both Ino and Naruto asked.

"If she tells us it won't come true." Shikamaru said.

Sasuke rolled his eyes.

They are so immature.

The party ended around eight that night and everyone started to head home.

"Bye Hinata." they said as they left.

"Bye." she said waving to them.

The Hyuga made her way to her room and dropped on her bed with a soft thud snuggling up with a soft sight, she drifted off to dreamland.
