Hinata had fallen asleep crying in somewhat of a confused daze. She awoke in the early morning light to see the train was still moving and Naruto and Sakura were still asleep; both with their arms crossed and slightly angry expressions on their faces. She felt out of place with the reunited team 7, like she didn't fit in and had no idea what was actually going on between them. It was probably because it was true. She sighed to herself as she stood and turned looking out the window, she wished something would give her a sign.
Instead she heard profuse swearing and some small banging noises. Hinata walked over to the door and opened it letting the moonlight from with windows drift onto Sasuke's face. He looked up at her from his position on the floor. He was tipped over and had a decent amount of coal on him. "Would you mind getting some of the coal off me, Hinata?"
"Um… Okay." She said meekly and knelt down quickly moving the lumps onto the floor. She than wrapped her hand in her coat and brushed the rest onto the floor. "Are you injured anywhere?"
"Besides what Sakura did, no. It would be nice to be seated again though; face on the floor isn't that pleasant." Sasuke was quickly pulled up and set down carefully away from the coal piles. He twisted his neck cracking it and smiled. "Thank you, it's nice not breathing coal dust into my lungs constantly."
"Um, Sasuke… Why do you want to hurt Naruto and Sakura? They haven't done anything to you, and it's really upsetting them..." Hinata asked mostly closing the door letting only a shimmer of light through. It landed on the Uchiha's face as he smiled at the question, worrying Hinata who was concealed by the darkness.
"It's not just them. It's you too, and all of Konoha. You're all guilty of the death of my clan, and I will make you pay for what you've done." Sasuke said calmly. He heard a gasp and it made him smile more. Hinata pushed herself back against the door, ready to escape. "Come now, you know it's only natural. The village killed my clan, and so I kill all of them. You can't tell me you've never thought about going after Kumogakure for what they did to your clan. Haven't you thought about going in and slaughtering them for the worthless beings they are?"
Sasuke waited and waited and waited until he heard Hinata shift and heard her whisper. "No. I forgave them for what they did. They did take someone from me… But it happens, and I forgave them for what they did wrong."
"Hinata…" Sasuke muttered losing his smile. "You're an idiot. If I went out there and stabbed Naruto in the face would you forgive me? No, you wouldn't, but someone goes and kills your family and its okay? What the fuck is wrong with you?"
"All of Kumo didn't do it, only a select few. I will not blame the masses as you are. I will be a better person." She hissed and pulled herself foreword just enough so Sasuke could see the outline on her face. "I won't be so stupid as to think that everyone is conspiring against me, even those who want to help. What the fuck is wrong with you?"
Suaske began laughing lightly and looked down. "I'm being told off by a field mouse. That's funny. Maybe I won't kill you; I'll keep you around for entertainment. Just keep Naruto's head on a line and wave it around in front of you, you'd like that, wouldn't you?"
Hinata stood up gripping her fist tightly until she thought her nails would make her palms bleed. She took a deep breath and looked down with pity on Sasuke Uchiha. "I feel sorry for you; you're so blinded by hate… But if you touch Naruto I'll kill you. He's important to the village, he saved us from Pein. You can't kill him."
"You grew up. Making death threats, welcome to being a shinobi. You'll soon learn everything you just said will be useless one day when you're faced with true sorrow. Shinobi's fight, die and are forgotten. It's what we do, and, it's what you'll do." Sasuke said leaning back out of the light. Hinata slid the door open and walked out closing it tightly shut. Sasuke scoffed, "Bitch could have left some light…"
