Sasuke: Hime does not own anything.


Sasuke woke up from a hard slap to the face; her obsidian onyx eyes shot open to meet Naruto's cerulean blue ones.

"Sasuke, can you hear me?!"

The Uchiha blinked her eyes, looking at the blonde's frantic expression. For some reason, her throat felt sore so she just nodded her head meekly.

Naruto breathed a sigh of relief and slowly moved his hands to hold her pale hands in his before gently pulling her to sit up. He was on his knees and he clasped Sasuke's hands tightly.

"What happened?"

Sasuke shook her head, unsure of how to answer; her mind was swirling with questions and her heart was pumping wildly from the intense emotions she had felt during the flashback. She turned around and was alarmed to see everyone; Kakashi, Sakura and even the Sabaku siblings.

"W-what-?"

Sakura shushed her, "Don't speak, let me get you some water."

Before Sasuke could form any response, the pinkette dashed out. Suddenly, she felt a strong hand on her shoulder and she turned to see it was Kakashi who was also on his knees behind her.

"Sasuke. You started screaming and collapsed while we were talking. Your screams were so loud that everyone rushed in here."

Kankuro snorted, "I thought you were being raped by an intruder or something."

Sasuke looked away out of embarrassment or anger, no one was sure and Naruto wanted to say something but Sakura returned with the glass of water so he waited till Sasuke took it and finished it.

"Sasuke, what is going on?"

"I...am remembering things I cannot explain..."

Naruto tilted his head but stayed quiet as Sasuke continued.

"Hinata Hyuuga...was a part of my past."

Kankuro blinked, "What's wrong with Hinata that made you scream bloody murder Uchiha?"

"N-nothing. I just don't know and neither am I aware of my screaming. I don't know..."

Sasuke looked crestfallen and Sakura gently moved her hand to brush the hair out of her teammate's face in a comforting gesture. Sasuke kept quiet all the while until she remembered something.

"Sai!"

Naruto frowned, "What?"

Sasuke squeezed the blonde's hands in hers, looking at him.

"Sai said you and Hinata were close! You can help me!"

Naruto was dumbstruck.

How and why in the hell did Sai tell her that?!

Naruto was going to give that idiot double agent a piece of his mind when he got back.

"Dobe!"

Naruto blinked to see Sasuke with impatience clearly written on her face.

"You will help me won't you?"

Naruto wasn't sure what to say but luckily Temari saved him.

"Talk about it in the morning. You need rest Uchiha."

"B-but-"

"No buts. I'm the oldest owner of this house so what I say goes."

Sasuke scowled but before she could argue, Kakashi cut her off.

"I'll stay in the room. Just in case you get a flashback in a dream."

The Uchiha sighed.

Looks like she'll have to wait.


"Hinata, this idea of yours is insane" the oldest Uchiha finally says after hearing what Hinata had in mind.

"It is not!"

Itachi groaned, "Are you even listening to yourself? What you're proposing is not to mention dangerous but seriously risky!"

"It won't be if we get Naruto on our side."

Hinata smirked in satisfaction seeing the dark-eyed teen become silent. The both of them were sitting next to each other under a huge oak tree.

"So you agree?"

Itachi frowned at her but said nothing. She could practically see the gears turning in his head as he thought over her plan and weighing their options. However, Hinata wasn't very patient at the moment since it was her that came up with the plan so she knew it would work but as always Itachi had to analyze everything. It took him a while but he finally spoke.

"Fine, you said he'll be back in a week?"

"Yes but I rather go to Suna to see him now though. I want to set this plan in motion quickly."

"Why? There isn't any rush."

Hinata lifted her head and pecks his lips, "We were apart for years Itachi. Is it bad that I want to be back in your life as soon as possible?"

"Of course not. But acting rashly right now won't be good for either of us. Let's just talk this plan through together alright Angel?" smiles the older teen before kissing her forehead.

"Fine..."

Itachi smirked seeing the familiar and absolutely adorable pout the young girl had on her face.

I can't believe we're together again...


It's been hours since Sasuke's flashback but for the life of her, she couldn't relax. She tossed and turned in the bed, restless and agitated. Finally, she gave up.

"Kakashi?"

"Yes Sasuke-chan?"

Almost immediately, the genin turned in the bed to face him with a very scathing glare.

"Don't call me chan."

"Aww but it's cute no?"

Sasuke increased the glare by tenfold enough to make Kakashi sweatdrop.

"I'll stop! Geez! So what's eating at you?"

The Uchiha sighed, "I keep thinking about the flashback."

"Why? You're just stressing yourself out."

"But I can't!"

Kakashi blinked his good eye at Sasuke in surprise but kept silent as he watched the genin move to sit up in the bed.

"It's just so odd and weird to me...why am I remembering Hinata now? Why did I even forget in the first place?"

"I have a theory-" the one eyed began.

"Shoot"

"Well...I believe your time with Hinata happened before the Uchiha massacre along with other carefree happy moments in your life. After the massacre, you subconsciously blocked all those memories in order to make it easier for you to cope with what happened; the less you remember about your childhood, the easier it'll be to deal with it. I believe you're remembering all this only now could be because of your gender change. You may or may not have noticed but you are more inclined to you emotions than you ever have after the change. Plus you only started seeing Hinata after the gender change. Combined, these two things are triggering the locked memories inside your brain and causing you to have flashbacks. I am however not sure as to why you are feeling pain when this happens though."

Sasuke nodded, slowly processing the information.

It does make sense...

"Although, I can't really blame you though. Hinata was your first friend outside the clan not to mention your first love. Although I bet you just blocked the memories out of bitterness in order to forget the fact she ended up happily engaged to Itachi. I mean, after the massacre, it makes sense you want to block out everything Itachi-related."

When Kakashi finally stopped talking, he saw Sasuke staring at him wide eyes, "H-how-?"

"Yes?"

"How did you know what my flashbacks were about? I never told anybody those details!"

Kakashi stiffened.

Shit...I completely gave myself away...

"Tell me Kakashi!"
