She clearly couldn't see in front of her anymore since her eyelashes felt like they were glued together when her tears had frozen on her face.
The snow was falling so fast and all her anger and hurt had quickly deflated out of her as she looked around at the rapidly darkening skies.
The darkness made everything even more scarier.
She was lost.
The frightened whimper left her throat before she could even see the stray branch that caught her shoe and sent her flying to the ground in a mass of human limbs and tightly tucked scarfs.
She couldn't even manage to cry anymore, exhaustion was taking a toll.
She was still too weak.
Always too weak.
"Hyuga!" came a slightly familiar shout of her name as her wide lavender eyes flashed open.
Hinata immediately squinted her eyes shut, the flashlight shined into her face and almost blinded her when the bright light hit her face.
The dark eyes glared at her in irritation.
Uchiha. Sasuke Uchiha.
His large hands yanked her up by her thick winter jacket and tears of relief filled her vision.
"U-U-Uchiha-san!" She cried, swallowing a pathetic sob.
"What the fuck are you doing out here?" He caught her wrist, hissing lightly as he realized how cold her fingers were.
The idiot didn't even wear gloves!
"I-I-I got lost." She stuttered as he dragged her along, the snow making it impossible for them to travel quicker.
The trek through the snow had been rather difficult since he was definitely pulling her bulky form after him when she had stumbled and fell several times, almost dragging him down with her each time.
Sasuke couldn't even stop the sigh of relief that filled his lungs when they finally got to his cabin almost an hour later.
His cabin was a little further out from the other cabins and that was the only reason why he wanted it.
He'd rather die then spend 4 days in those idiots presence.
Even worse it could be contagious.
He dragged the stupid Hyuga into the lodging before slamming the door shut, locking it with his other hand in case those idiots decide to look for him.
Sasuke proceeded to kick off the winter boots before depositing his clothes into a pile by the door and turned to glance at the ball of snow covered Hyuga girl.
Hinata leaned from one foot to the next as a puddle started forming underneath her, guiltily glancing back and forth when his eyes narrowed.
"Get those clothes off Hyuga before you get hypothermia."
"I-I don't want t-to be a bother." She finally said, voice unbearably soft.
"Since you're already here, you're gonna be a bother either way." He said before noticing as tears immediately tipped over her frozen lashes.
Kuso.
"I-Im sorry. I'll j-just go."
"Shut up, Hyuga. You're making my floor wet." He sighed out before watching her fumble with the zipper of her jacket, her fingers were too numb to even make any progress.
What God did he anger today?
Defeated, he grabbed the the zipper and proceeded to undress the furiously blushing Hyuga from her snow logged clothing.
"I-I-I'm sorry, Uchiha-san." She wheezed as he dropped her thick coat next to his and helped her out of her boots and scarf.
Her inner sweater was rather damp and her pants were darkened from wetness up past her knees and she stood there trembling like a frozen lamb before it's predator.
Tch.
Sasuke trudged over to his suitcase and grabbed one of his black t-shirts and a pair of pants before heading back to the girl.
With a click of his tongue, he quickly grabbed onto the sleeve of her long sweater, batting her protesting hand out of the way and dragged her into the bathroom before tossing his clothing into her hands and leaving the floundering girl there with a click of the door.
Hinata immediately went to wash her frozen fingers and face before jumping into the shower to warm herself up. Her mind was far too numb from today's depressing events to actually think any further of her situation.
Once done, she eyed the dark garments, picking up the shirt before donning the brooding Uchiha's shirt as quickly as she could manage. His scent was embedded into the fabric, masculine and musky, almost like the scent of a forest after the rain with the zing of lightning and thunder.
She was mildly embarrassed that she was still holding the neck of the shirt up to her nose, inhaling the fabric and worst of all, she couldn't get herself to stop. His clothes smelled very nice.
As she dragged the fabric of his pants passed her ankles and over her hips she already realized that it was too big for her petite form. Hinata tried to pinch and roll the fabric together as best she could but the darned thing would not stay still.
She let out a frustrated sigh before tucking it once more and used her left hand to keep it up.
Timidly, Hinata peeked her head out of the bathroom and noticed Sasuke sitting on the small sofa with his laptop propped over his thighs, working on something fervidly with that furrow of his brows.
She truthfully didn't want to disturb him with her presence as she knew how easily he was annoyed by useless chatter with previous encounters that she had noted.
Hinata shuffles nervously over to him, fingers over her lip as she tried to quietly sit down next to the intimidating Uchiha without breaking out in cold sweat.
Without even looking up at her from his furious typing he stated more than asked, "so you finally found out about the dobe?"
She frowned, fingers biting into her palm. Was she so easy to read that he could tell that the blonde Uzumaki was the cause of her current depression?
How did he know and if he knew and why didn't he even bother to inform her?
She almost glared at him but instead bit her lip to keep from pointing a finger at him accusingly.
"I-I-Yes. B-But how-" Came her short stuttering reply.
"You were bound to find out eventually. After all, the dobe's pretty stupid for using the help of a girl to do his school work," he mocked, still typing steadily.
She was glad he hadn't called her stupid for helping him because she would have definitely burst out into tears.
"What are you planning on doing then?"
"A-ano I-I can't go back there! I-I have to go home." She whispered adamantly.
"Tch. In case you haven't noticed Hyuga, the roads are too dangerous for driving because of that blizzard out there. You're welcome to try but know that you'll probably freeze to death before that happens." He stated easily, finally raising his head and giving her a once over with dark narrowed eyes.
So that's what the Hyuga was hiding underneath her bulky and over sized clothing.
She filled out his clothes in the way he couldn't with a rather curvy figure that could easily over come Sakura's lanky skinny one.
Naruto is an idiot.
His head dropped back to his work as she sniffed indignantly.
"I will take you back to your cabin in the morning."
