….

She stood there frozen in her place with his dark eyes staring down at her. The hurt that started to build in his eyes, she never wanted to hurt him, never. She could taste her salty tears going down her face hitting her lips. "Sasuke . . . p-please . . ."

"Please what Hinata?" He yelled at her making her flinch back. "How could you act like we were together when this whole damn time you already had someone else?" His hand became a tightened fist at his side. Hinata tried to grab a hold of his hand but he just pushed it away. "Answer me dammit!"

"Sasuke! Hey calm down!" Naruto ran behind him grabbing him by the shoulder. "Chill out and let's just talk about this!" But Sasuke was in too much of a rage to listen. He took Naruto's shirt in his hand and threw him!

"N-Naruto-kun!" Hinata and Ino cried running to his side. Sasuke blinked realizing what he just did. He looked over at Naruto who was trying to sit up. "Naruto-kun are you alright?" Ino asked holding his arm. He nodded but gave Sasuke a glare. They had fought a few times before but Sasuke never really meant to hurt him like he just did.

"Geeze, not much of a gentleman are you?" Snickered Sai who was in amusement watching the scene play before him. Sasuke attention went back to him. "What? Are you going to hit me as well?" He grinned. Sasuke started walking towards him. Hinata sat by Naruto as she watched Sasuke walked towards Sai. His eyes. They were the same as the night in the ally.

"Sasuke . . ." She whispered. The tears were coming so fast down her face. "Sasuke . . ." Each step he took was like him walking right out of her life. Every part of her body began to shake. 'No, I can't just sit here.' She pushed her palms to the cold floor. 'B-but . . . I can't . . . I can't move.' She closed her eyes. Her heart was in so much pain, so much hurt, and so much shame. How could she even say a word to Sasuke? She had no right. 'But . . . if he hurts Sai . . .' her eyes went back to Sasuke. 'He'll get in trouble again. I can't let that . . .' She pushed herself up from her knees.

"Hinata?" She heard Naruto ask but didn't answer. 'I can't let him ruin his future!' She ran to him.

"Sasuke!" She cried up to him. 'I know your mad Sasuke. I understand but I can't let you ruin your life because I made a mistake!' "Sasuke no!" her arms wrapped around him. "You can't do this!" Her words echoed in Sasuke head as he stopped moving. He blinked twice then looked up at Sai. He still just stood there with a winning grin. "Sasuke?" The small voice called for him. Sasuke didn't even look at her as he pushed away her hands and walked away.

"That went better than I expected." Sai walked towards Hinata who was watching Sasuke walk away from her. "I mean Hinata, you didn't really think that you could be with someone like that right? He is nowhere near your league." He placed his hands on her shoulders. "It's best to just leave him be."

Days and weeks have gone by since then. Sasuke wouldn't talk or even look at Hinata. All she could do every day was watch him walk pass her without any reaction. She called after him but like always he just ignored her. "Still no answer?" She turned to see Naruto and Ino. The two of them have been by her side the whole time. Even though they could only talk at school since neither of them were allowed at her house under her father new rules.

"No." She put her head down. "I-I know I can't b-be upset . . ." She felt the tears build up in her eyes. She tried to hold them back by breathing slowly but it didn't help. "But I c-can't take him n-not talking to m-me!" Her tears fell onto the cold floor. She just wanted to talk to him, he didn't have to accept her but just talk to her.

"Hinata. . ." Naruto pulled her towards him and held her close. "It's alright Hinata. Look at me." He smiled lifting her chin up towards his face. "Just give Sasuke some space. I'm sure he'll be fine. Think of it though, if he didn't care about you he wouldn't be upset right?" He smiled.

"Yeah! He's right Hinata! This just proves that you meant a lot to him." Ino also chipped in to make Hinata smile. Hinata looked at her two friends and couldn't be any more grateful. To have great friends like them made things a little bit easier. She quickly wiped away her tears and put on a smile.

"Y-you're right. I'll just give Sasuke some more time." Ino grabbed on to her arm and Naruto on the other side.

"Of course we're right. We are geniuses after all." Ino's head started growing by the second. Naruto and Hinata just started laughing. "W-what are you laughing at?" She blushed as the two continued to laugh.

-With Sasuke-

He walked down the street not paying attention to anything around him. He was lost in his own thoughts, a place he has been at for weeks. His brain felt like a giant puzzle trying to fit the pieces together to see what he should actually do. 'This is all her fault!' He stopped on the sidewalk and started yelling. "Huh?" He stopped yelling seeing everyone looking at him. "Oh um . . . heh." He quickly walked away and ran behind a building.

Taking a deep breath he slid down the wall to the cold ground. "What am I going to do? I can't just keep ignoring her." Her smile entered his thoughts. He never did understand how she made him like this, so damn pathetic! Uchiha Sasuke has never gotten depressed over some girl! "But that's the thing. She not just some girl." He placed his head between his knees. "What am I going to do?" He whispered.

"Meow." He glanced over to his right. It was a little black kitten with the biggest eyes he has ever seen. "Meow." The kitten began playing with Sasuke's pant leg. He couldn't help but laugh at the little thing.

"What are you doing in the snow? You'll turn into a frozen fur ball." He poked the kitten in the belly. She started nibbling on his fingers when her small paws wrapped themselves around his hand. This made him think of Hinata. If she was here she would freak out and run to the store to get it some food and a bed. Maybe even try to sneak the kitten in her room. "You wanna come with me kitty? I'm by myself so you don't have to worry about roommates." He laughed picking up the kitten and stood up.

"Wow, I'm not even sure I wanna pick a fight with you." A voice came from behind. Sasuke quickly turned to see Gaara and a few other guys with him. "Who would have thought Uchiha Sasuke would turn into such a pussy." He grinned.

"Hmph, look I don't have time to deal with idiots like you right now." Sasuke started walking past them till one of the guys grabbed him by the arm and forced him into the wall of the building. The little kitten jumped out of Sasuke's arm and ran behind the garbage cans. "Well, if you really wanna go to your funeral early," Sasuke took off his jacket standing up. "I'll happily take you there."

-With Hinata at her house-

"Will you quit being so depressed? It's getting annoying." Neji said with annoyance to his younger cousin. She just ignored him as she sat on the couch. She was so bored being at home without anyone. She had gotten use to Sasuke calling her every day, sneaking over, or convincing her to sneak out. "Well at least make yourself look a little more presentable, Sai will be over shortly to have a meeting with father." Neji walked away.

"I don't care. . ." She pouted holding the pillow closer to her. "He's not the person I want to see." Her face fell onto the pillow. She didn't care if Sai seen her in jeans and a sweater. Maybe he would leave once he saw her. "Sasuke wouldn't mind me in jeans."

"I never said that I wouldn't." Hinata body froze from fright! She slowly turned her head to see him. "How are you tonight Hinata?" He leaned over the couch getting close to her face.

"I-I'm fine!" She turned her head away quickly. "A-Aren't you suppose to be in a meeting with father?" She quickly changed the subject for him to go away. He chuckled under his breath as he moved to sit next to her. "What a-are you doing?" He eyed him putting a few pillows in-between them. That didn't stop his hand from reaching to her hair.

"You're hair has gotten so long. So soft." He ran his fingers through her hair. Hinata quickly became nervous and pulled away from him. "What wrong?"

"I'm sure father is waiting for you." She tried to put on a brave face so he wouldn't try to intimidate her. He just laughed and sat back into the sofa. After he stopped laughing he just looked at her.

"I hope we do start to get along Hinata. After all it would be a bit horrible to get married and not even like each other wouldn't it?" He smiled at her. Her face started to blush. Marriage. As much as she didn't like that thought, if something didn't change her father's mind she will end up being married to him. "Anyways, your father wants us both." He stood up and reached his hand out to her. "Shall we join him?" She just glared at him but all he did was smile. Giving up she just sighed and took his hand. They started walking towards her father's office.

"By the way," She glanced over at him. "Has the Uchiha bothered you at all?" She felt the pain hit her chest. She knew Sai would say stuff like this to get her angry because he knew Sasuke wasn't talking to her. She stopped walking and looked up at him straight into his eyes. This caught him off guard because she had never been this defensive with him.

"Look! Quit calling him 'Uchiha!' He has a name and it's Sasuke. Second you already know he isn't talking to me so quit asking!" With that she stomped off to her father's office leaving Sai standing there trying to overcome shock. "Father I'm here." She slowly entered his office. Her father looked up at her then back to his desk.

"Why are you wearing such a thing when your fiancée is here?" He asked in a harsh voice.

"F-father you see . . ." Hinata went to explain.

"It's alright Hiashi-San. It's nice to see different sides to Hinata." Sai silently entered behind her. Her father just nodded. They sat down in front of Hiashi with Neji at his side. Soon it was just Hiashi and Sai talking about company things. Hinata didn't really care since she had no idea what anything was. 'I don't see why I had to be here at the meeting if it's just about the company's. Father already knows I'm clueless about these things. Huh?' She looked down at her pocket. Her phone was vibrating. 'If I answer father will yell at me.' She looked up at her father and what perfect timing the three men stood up to walk into the other part of the office to look at files.

Quickly she pulled her phone out and her eyes widened. It was Sasuke calling her! "H-Hello?" She pulled the phone to her ear but no one answered back. "S-Sasuke are you there?" But still no one was answering. "Sasuke?" She yelled again. Finally she could hear him breathing. "Sasuke where are you?" She stood up and her heart started to beat faster and faster.

"Hey . . . Hinata." His voice scattered. Then she listen closely and she could hear cars driving by and people talking.

"Sasuke what's wrong?" She felt the tears build up. Something wasn't right.

"I . . . I didn't mean to . . . call you. I'm sorry . . ." He spoke with strain in his voice.

"N-no it's alright! Where are you Sasuke? Are you hurt?" She could hear her father and the rest start walking back to the main office.

"Well . . . now that you mention it. . . I could use a little help." He let out of small chuckle. "I got . . . into a small fight and I kicked there ass but . . ." He coughed making Hinata tears fall down her face. "They got me pretty bad."

"Sasuke where are you? I'm on my way!" She started her way out of the office when Neji grabbed her arm.

"Where are you going? We're in the middle of something here!" She quickly pulled her arm back from him. The room was silent now. Her eyes went from Neji to Sai and then to her father.

"I-I'm sorry father. I truly am but . . ." She looked down at her phone. She closed her eyes and all she could see was Sasuke somewhere hurt knowing she had to do something! "But right now I have someone I have to help!" She ran out of the room and quickly threw on her shoes and grabbed her jacket. "Sasuke are you still there?" She cried into the phone running outside.

"Y-yeah . . . you're so stupid . . . your dad is going . . . to kill you." He tried to hide his emotion over the phone. Even though he was so mad at her and had been ignoring her, she ran out on her father to come and find him.

"I don't care! Just tell me where you are!" She kept running. It was dark outside making it colder the rain also didn't help. "Sasuke you have to tell me where you are!" She finally reached into town still running. Her chest had started to hurt but she forced her legs to keep moving.

"R-remember the pet shop . . . we passed that one day?" He mumbled.

"Yes! Are you there?" She turned the corner and continued running. Her wet hair kept falling in her face. "Stupid hair!" She stopped and gathered all her hair into a quick and sloppy pony tail. "Okay, so you're by the pet shop?" She began running again towards the store.

"Yeah . . . well kind of . . . the ally or two behind it . . . hey Hinata?" She stopped running and listened. "Thanks for coming out here . . . you didn't have to . . . you know." She tried to stay quiet. The last thing she wanted was for Sasuke to hear her cry.

"I . . . I would never l-leave you alone Sasuke. Just wait I'll be right there!" She was trying to hurry as fast as she could. 'I'm coming Sasuke. Just pleas wait!' She thought turning the last corner to face the pet store. She quickly looked both ways till she spotted the ally. "Sasuke!" She looked into the ally but he wasn't there. "Sasuke?" She called for him again.

"Meow!" She looked down to see a black kitten pawing at her feet. 'A kitty?' She thought as she went to pick it up but it quickly ran away. "Meow!" It spoke again running down another way. 'Huh? Wait . . . it couldn't be!' She quickly followed the kitten and turned into another ally.

"Sasuke!" She screamed as she saw him on the ground leaning against the wall soaked in blood and rain. "Oh God Sasuke!" She ran to him hitting her knees and held him in her arms. "Are you okay Sasuke?"

"Yeah . . . I'm breathing right?" He let out a small smile. "You really didn't . . . have to come Hinata." He placed his hand on her face. Looking up at him she grabbed a hold of his hand and smiled.

"Of course I did. You really think I would have left you out here?" The look in his eyes, they were nothing like Hinata has ever seen in him before. It almost looked like he wanted to cry. "Sasuke?" He pulled her back into his arms.

"Thanks Hinata. Thank you." She felt his body shaking as he cried. Even though they were getting drenched and were surrounded by snow she was so happy to be with him.

"Come on Sasuke, let's get you home." She stood up and stretched out her hand. His hand held hers as she helped him up. She struggled but was able to handle Sasuke's body weight.

"Oh wait . . ." He turned his head. "Come on you." He called to the little kitty who quickly came out when Sasuke called. "She was here with me the whole time." He smiled as the kitten followed them back to Sasuke's house.

They finally made it to Sasuke's house where he know sat on his sofa. Hinata had begun bandaging him up and getting him warmed up. He winced a few times when she touched his arm wrapping it up. "Hurt?" She giggled as he glared at her. "Ahaha I'm sorry." She finished it up. "There you go, I believe I got all of your wounds." She glanced up and down on him making sure. "But I guess I missed one." He looked at his body and back at her.

"Where at? I'm pretty sure you got them all." He laughed at her. But quickly stopped when her finger pointed at his chest to his heart.

"This one." She said softly. His face turned a light red when she did this. "I'm so sorry Sasuke. I-I know I don't e-even deserve for you to be so nice to me." She bit the inside of her bottom lip, a horrible habit. "I-I don't even blame you if you still don't want to talk to me. But please just listen right now Sasuke . . . the reason why I didn't tell you about Sai was because I don't like him. Not even close to how I feel about you!" She looked into his eyes with a red face. "I thought if you knew about him you would just think I was using you to get at him but that's not how it is at all!"

Her hands went into a fist in her lap. "I really care for you Sasuke! I . . . I . . ." She closed her eyes tightly and her heart was pounding so hard she was afraid Sasuke was going to hear it. "I love you Sasuke!" She blurted it out because if she didn't she would have never said it. Sasuke could feel his body getting warm from embarrassment. In his eyes she was already forgiven. He could never stay mad at her, and he had missed her so much. She felt his hand fall on her head.

"Silly girl . . ." He smiled at her. "I'm not mad anymore." He sighed sitting back into the sofa. "I kind of haven't been mad at her for a little while but just didn't know how to talk to you about it." He soon felt a pillow hit his face very hard. "OW! What the hell was that for?" He shouted till Hinata hit him again.

"You haven't been mad at me this whole time and you still didn't talk to me? Do you have any idea how hard this was for me?" She kept on hitting him.

"Okay! Okay! I get it I'm sorry this time!" He put his arm up to protect himself. She may have been small but damn did she have some arm strength! She stopped hitting him and then they both just started laughing. "So were okay now?" He smiled placing his hand on her leg. "Huh? Oh crap you're still wet aren't you? Hang on I think I got something you can put on."

He got up quickly walking to his bedroom. She could help but giggle at him. But a picture quickly caught her eyes. On the table next to her was Sasuke with his family. 'Him and Itachi look so much alike' she smiled and then looked at their mother. 'She so beautiful.' Then there was his father. Uchiha Fugaku. 'Not smiling like normal I suppose.' She shook her head at the man.

"Here you go." Sasuke walked back in with some clothes. He threw them at Hinata but did a horrible job at catching. "Wow . . . you stink." He teased as she tried to gather up the items. He gave her one of his t-shirts and pj bottoms.

"T-Thank you but I should be getting home Sasuke." She folded the clothes back up and set them in a pile on the table. When she went to stand up Sasuke pushed her back on the couch. "Sasuke!" She yelled at him.

"It's already late, you're better off just staying here for the night and I'll take you home in the morning." As soon as he finished poor Hinata's mind went into a panic! 'S-spend t-the n-n-night?' She thought as the images of her and Sasuke in the same bed entered her mind.

"N-no we c-can't d-do that S-Sasuke!" She started to object as quickly as possible shaking her head. He just laughed at her. "W-what is s-so funny?" She pouted at him.

"You." He laughed again. "Look, I promise I won't do anything to you. I just don't want you walking home this late and being this cold outside." He sat back down next to her. She just gave him a suspicious look. "I said I promise! If I try anything you're allowed to yell at me as long as you like." She looked at him again and sighed.

"Fine but don't you try anything!" He just smiled at her. Soon they had a little guest join them. "Oh yes the little kitten. Are you keeping her?" Sasuke nodded as the kitten started playing with his bandages. "Really?" Hinata squealed. Sasuke just nodded laughing at her again. "What are you going to name her?"He just shrugged. "Well she needs a name." She gently grabbed the kitten. "Don't you?" She smiled and giggled when the kitten licked her nose. "How about Karin?" The kitten gave a small meow.

"I don't think so." Sasuke quickly shot down the name.

"Aww why?" She looked at him with wide eyes.

"Karin is a bad name." He started to get up and make his way to the bedroom. "Come on let's get to bed." Hinata stuck out her tongue at him.

"Well I think the name Karin is cute for you. Don't you think so?" The kitten meowed once again. She smiled and stood up grabbing Karin and the clothes Sasuke had given her. She walked into the bathroom and changed.

"Are you coming or are you sleeping on the couch?" Sasuke called from the bedroom wondering what was taking so long. The door opened and Karin ran in and jumped onto the bed. "Well I'm glad one of you is ready." He smiled petting her before she went into a little ball at the end of the bed. Hinata entered the room and Sasuke's mouth dropped. She was just wearing the shirt which made her look even sexier. Better? It was a white shirt.

"S-stop l-looking a-at me like t-that!" She cried with embarrassment! "Y-your bo-bottoms were to b-big and wouldn't s-stay up!"She looked down to the floor. 'Oh God . . . this is a damn curse.' Sasuke thought still gawking at her. "Sasuke!" She yelled at him.

"Okay!" He covered his eyes. "Just . . . just get under the covers!" He kept his eyes covered. He heard her quickly run to the bed and cover herself. "All good?" She gave a small yes. He uncovered his eyes and looked next to him and with all his might he had to stay calm. Knowing what she was wearing and with her this close . . . let's just say poor Sasuke.

"A-are you alright?" She had the covers up to her face. He just nodded because he would have lied if he answered verbally. He just sighed trying to relax.

"Let's just go to bed." He turned off his lamp and laid down opposite way of Hinata so he wasn't facing her. 'Just don't think about it. Don't think about it.' He repeated over and over in his mind. But he felt Hinata's hand grab on to his shirt.

"What?" He said irritated. She didn't answer. "What Hinata?" He turned towards her and she was blushing. She looked so cute to him. "Alright." He smiled and turned his whole body towards her and pulled her into him. She let out a small 'eek' when he pulled her into his arms. She was now lying on his chest with his arms around her.

"Hey Sasuke?" She whispered.

"Yes Hinata?" He smiled.

"I love you." His eyes opened wide but then closed with a sigh.

"I love you to Hinata." He rubbed her arm gently and silently waited as she fell asleep on him. For the first time in a long time, Uchiha Sasuke had fallen in love.
