Chapter 4

Hinata is currently playing the piano when she heard somebody clapping.

"Sakura?" a pink haired woman approached her "it's beautiful. Are you rehearsing for the concert?"

"hai. After all, it's only a week away. I have to practice in order for me to give my best…"

"You're always at you're best. You've been a gifted musician since childhood, but as they say "even geniuses needs practice" ne?"

Hinata smiled then asked "are you going out?"

"hai. I have to go to the hospital to report about you're condition and also to buy some ramens for Naruto"

"Are you going to meet him?"

"Yes at the hospital…"

"Sakura, you want to see him everyday don't you?"

"Yes…"

"Then why don't you invite him here to stay with us after the entire house is big enough for all of us?"

Sakura was surprised "are you sure? He's a loudmouth and you might get distracted from practicing…"

Hinata laughed "it's okay. I'm getting bored from all the practicing I'm doing everyday. And also, I'm sorry Sakura…you're tied here because of me"

"hey don't say that. Remember, I volunteered to stay and take care of you because we're friends" then she hugged her "I'll take my leave now. Take care"

"hai"

Sakura was at the door when Hinata said "thank you for everything" she smiled back "don't mention it" and left the house while Hinata resumed playing the piano.

Konoha Hospital

"From the report you've given me, she's on perfect health so no more problem" said Tsunade – her mentor who looks young despite her old age.

"hai. Ne, where's Naruto?"

"He arrived here before you did. He said he'll be back shortly"

"He is? That's unusual" the older woman smiled "because he wants to see you that's why"

Sakura blushed "ummm…Tsunade-sama, is it okay if Naruto would stay with us for a while? Hinata wants to invite him to live there"

"No problem. I'm sure that boy will be jumping up and down just to be with you. And it will be good for Hinata too, that girl needs fun in her life"

"arigatou Tsunade-sama. I'll wait for Naruto outside" she bowed and left the office

After a few minutes, Sakura saw a tall man with spiky yellow hair and bright blue eyes coming her way. She stood up and greeted him "Naruto, where have you been?"

"Lunch; I'm hungry you know"

"Alright come on. Let's go shopping"

He put his arm around her "sure. How's Hinata?"

"She's fine. Rehearsing for the concert everyday"

He smiled "I want to see her play"

"Me too. Oh! I almost forgot, she's inviting you to stay with us at the vacation house. She misses you, you know"

"Eh? Cool! I want to see her too. Maybe there I can ask her for the concert ticket"

Sakura pinched him on his side "ouch! What was that for?"

"Serves you right; really Naruto, you can afford it on your own"

Naruto scratched the back of his head and grinned sheepishly "It's just a joke Sakura-chan!"

"Good. Come on, after our shopping, you must pack you're clothes immediately. We have to be back at the house before the sun sets. She's waiting for us" he nodded and proceeded on their errands.

5:00 p.m.

The intercom buzzed "Hinata? We're here"

"yo! Hinata!"

"Coming" then she opened the door and let them in. Naruto hugged her which she returned.

"I'm glad you're able to come, Naruto"

"No problem"

Sakura then spoke "sorry we're late. It's his fault. He's very slow" Naruto sweat dropped

"No it's fine. I had a nap a while ago, so it's no trouble" turning to Naruto "the room that you'll be using is the one that's next to Sakura, you can bring your things there now"

"Thanks Hinata" and he left

"I'll just go to the swing okay?"

"Be careful on your way there. I'll go and prepare our dinner" Sakura said

Hinata nodded "don't worry. I know the way there"

Tokyo Int'l Airport

Meanwhile there is also someone else who has arrived. Tall, lean and gorgeous, with cold onyx eyes, the female population of the airport sighs as he walks out of it.

After more than four years of absence, Uchiha Sasuke is finally back.

A/N: my golly, I'm sooo sorry that I've only updated now. My laziness caught up with me but don't worry, ill update again very soon.As I've said in the previous chap. This takes place more than a year after the accident. That's all that I have to say. Ja nee..

Reviews are greatly appreciated.

Lems: glad you like all of my fics. Conquest will be up very soon.. Hinata is around 22-23 years old and yes, her hair is about shoulder length. Don't kill me please lol. Ken is really a jerk but don't worry, you won't be seeing him in the next chapters he'll be mentioned but that's all. And nope, Sasuke and Hinata aren't old lovers.

Joann: I'm trying to update fast.

alliedoll: thanks.

shikaruTo: jeez thanks for the praise. Yah just wait for the succeeding chapters to know what happens to the both of them regarding the accident. I'm scaring you? Don't be coz my fav female character won't die. But nope, Hiashi-sama won't punish Ken; that right belongs to Sasuke.

Fractured wings 01: you too! You gotta update your fics. And thanks that you love mine. I'm still thinking if all of them are going to be sasuhina coz there is a fic (I won't tell you what) that Sasuke acts soo bad to Hinata and there is also that it's more of a naruhina than sasuhina

Ah-choo: thanks.I'm trying not to fall off. Umm about Ken, Digimon doesn't even cross my mind.

Kichou: Sasuke will come in later chapters. Oh you like Neji? Man, he's one of my fav in the Naruto series. And have you seen his latest look? I almost drooled for him and he's a jounin! Wee!

firewindgurl: eh is this really cool? Thanks.

KKSG: ummm in later chapters. Just wait

Magy: I'm trying to make them longer but I promise the later ones will be longer. You see, I have this tendency to write longer chapters in papers but when it comes to typing it, I got no patience that's why some chapters are short.

Hokai Amplifier: here ya go!
