SasuHina: Discarded Lovers Chapter 14 recap:

The two woman came in Hinata's apartment were Tsunade and Shizune. Both Sasuke and Hinata weren't happy with the unexpected visit. Tsunade ordered Shizune to examine Sasuke while she spoke with Hinata in private. Sasuke refused to cooperate but Tsunade's threats and the look on Hinata's face made Sasuke give in and allowed Shizune to examine him while Tsunade and Hinata disappeared into Hinata's bedroom.

During Sasuke's examination he asked Shizune about the incident and explained to Shizune what had recently happen to Hinata after she had seen the male with the shades. As Shizune was about to tell Sasuke the full story Hinata ran out of her room screaming. Sasuke told Tsunade and Shizune to leave, Tsunade then told Sasuke that he had to leave by sunset as that was the agreement between Tsunade and the Hyuga/ Hyuuga clan. After Tsunade and Shizune departed Sasuke carried a tearful Hinata to her bedroom where Hinata asked Sasuke not to leave her.

On their way back Tsunade expressed how Hinata's reaction to the news caught her off guard. Shizune admitted to almost telling Sasuke the truth of the incident. Tsunade told Shizune that Hinata seemed to have found comfort in Sasuke and that it should stay that way, but Neji's reaction to that was not a pleasing one.

Discared Lovers chapter 15: Goodbye Love

Sasuke stood at her bedside and watched her sleep 'When one sleeps they supposed to look at peace…but Hinata isn't.' Hinata's face displayed a pale colour, her lips were creased presenting the struggle to keep the tears from pouring out her closed eyes, her forehead was covered in crinkles of tension and her eye-brows hunched over her tightly shut eyes. Sasuke knew she was battling one of her nightmares again. It felt cruel to watch her suffer in her sleep but it was no different when she was awake either. How could he protect what he didn't understand? She began mumbling something but Sasuke could barely make it out, the only letter he could make out was an 's'. At that moment an idea surfaced into his mind, he gently sat down on next to a sleeping Hinata. He brought his face closer to her face "H-Hinata…Hinata do you trust Uchiha Sasuke?" he asked
Hinata remained silent and it seemed as if she would not respond to what Sasuke had asked her in her sleep, Sasuke sat up in frustration
"I-I….trust…Uchi" Hinata mumbled an answer
Although the sentence was incomplete Sasuke understood that Hinata trusted him, he leaned in again "Would you tell Sasuke about the incident?"
Her small hands gripped the sheets that she lay on and she face tensed up as she unconsciously curled her petite body "n-n-n…..no" Tears slowly seeped through her tightly shut eyes.
Sasuke felt guilty as he watched her body tense up again, he gently placed his hand on her pale face and wiped her tears "Sleep now Hinata, be at peace, no-one is going to harm you. I won't let that happen"
Hinata relaxed somewhat but one could tell that she still wasn't completely at peace and her face remained pale in colour. Sasuke softly stroked her cheek before walking out of her room.

He walked into the room Hinata had given him to rest in. He didn't feel like packing but it would at least keep his mind distracted. He opened the wardrobe and found it vacant 'that's right I came with just clothes that were on my back, Sai made some lame excuse that he couldn't find anything in my apartment'. He sighed before standing by his window and looking to the busy street down below. While looking outside he felt strange, he could feel rage coming from the street down below, a rage that was being aimed at him. He knew for sure that someone that was watching him from the window. It didn't take long for Sasuke to find the person watching him "You again". Sasuke snickered at the sight of the man that watched him from the street, Sasuke then removed himself from the window "it's not even 3 'o' clock yet and that imbecile is already standing outside and without a doubt his only thoughts are of killing me." Sasuke left the room and went towards the kitchen. He leaned against one of the cupboards and gazed at the ceiling above him, he took a deep breath in and for the first time since he had been there he realised how sweet it smelled in Hinata's home and it reminded him of something nostalgic. He then found himself opening one of the cupboards and pulled out a few ingredients. What he had in mind was something simple something he had not had since he was a child and without a doubt he was going to make it taste better than it did back then. While preparing his mind thought nothing else but Hinata 'I-I want to see her smile before I leave.' What he was making needed some time so Sasuke thought he could sit down in the lounge while he waited. He sat down and placed his hands next to him, his hand felt something rough and hard on the carpet 'What's this?' he thought. He glanced to his right and saw a stain, he smiled as he remembered his clumsy self spilling Hinata's soup on her carpet and her willingness to feed him hers thereafter, he blushed at the thought but felt bad about the stain. 'The carpet!' Sasuke stood up quickly and walked to the front entrance where he had left the rolled up carpet by the end table. He took it with him into the lounge where he quietly began moving the furniture in order to remove the old carpet and replacing it with the new one he had bought. He rolled up the old carpet when he was done. He went into the kitchen again to check if what he was doing was ok, he then went into Hinata's room to see if was still sleeping. Sasuke opened her door and peeped his head in 'she's still asleep but her body is still curled up', he then closed her door. He picked up the carpet and went out of Hinata's apartment. He went round the back and opened one of the big dustbins 'Her condition is only going to get worse, am I going to leave her to fight this alone?'

"I wouldn't throw that away if I were you Uchiha" a familiar voice suggested
Sasuke could still feel the rage and it was stronger now that he was closer to him. Sasuke kept his back to him "This is different. You're not barging into Hinata's home and attacking me this time. The tiger has been tamed but the animal caged inside is fighting to be released."
"My last visit was…it doesn't matter" the man replied
Sasuke smirked "No, you're just afraid to get slapped again"
He came in front of Sasuke and grabbed him by the collar "I will not let you insult me Uchiha"
Sasuke glared at him "You already have Neji, now let go of me. Hinata bought this garment for me, its delicate"
Neji grit his teeth and loosened the grip he had on Sasuke "Best not throw that carpet away, she might still want it"
"Since when do you care about what Hinata needs and wants?" Sasuke asked Neji
"I made a promise to my father that I would protect her" he crossed his arms "And it not Hinata Uchiha… its Hinata-sama"
"She's never complained about me calling her Hinata, and for your information you should stop addressing me as Uchiha and address me as Uchiha-sama"
Neji glared back at Sasuke "Over my dead body"
Sasuke smiled "For once I like your thinking Neji, I wouldn't mind ending you but that would hurt Hinata. I wouldn't do that to her"
"But you've done it to countless other families" Neji said reminding Sasuke of his misdeeds
"I know that. That is why I no longer kill for power but to protect someone, like what I did for Hinata during that mission which you failed to do, remember?" Sasuke relied
Neji activated his Byakyugan "It would appear that what you are making is….boiling over"
"Tch!" Sasuke immediately ran back inside leaving Neji outside
"You're forgetting the carpet" Neji smirked
Sasuke ran back, glaring at Neji. He opened the big dustbin and pulled out the old carpet and ran back inside.

Sasuke dropped the old carpet as he ran toward the kitchen 'I can't believe I let him get to me, now I look like the idiot'. Sasuke pulled the kettle from the stove, burning his fingers in the process "Itai" he whispered. Luckily for Sasuke it was only water and not something else. He sighed and looked at the clock on the kitchen wall 'its 15:48, my stay here is coming to an end faster than thought it would' he thought.

The banging of a door caught Sasuke's attention. 'Hinata! Is she okay?' Sasuke thought running toward Hinata's room. He opened the door to find it empty 'Where did she go?' He began to panic and started searching it 'He couldn't have come in could he?' Sasuke had searched her whole room and couldn't find her at all. His heart began to sink 'when did that guy get in?' He opened her bedroom door. Someone ran into Sasuke and he hit the ground with a hard thump. He opened his eyes to see that Hinata was the one who tackled him. He smiled "You scared me when you disappeared Hinata, but I am at ease now that I know you're okay" Sasuke started to hear faint sobs coming from Hinata "What's the matter Hinata?... Did something happen?"
Hinata did not look at Sasuke "I-I thought that y-you had already left"
Sasuke sat himself and Hinata up "I wouldn't leave without saying thank you and goodbye to you Hinata, please don't think like that"
"I-I am sorry S-Sasuke-kun" Hinata said, her head still on Sasuke's chest
Sasuke rubbed her back "It's alright, I'm not mad at you or anything"
Hinata seemed to calm down a bit but Sasuke noticed that her skin was still pale, "Would you like something to drink Hinata?"
Hinata responded by nodding while whipping the remaining tears from her eyes. Hinata's dull eyes came alive when Sasuke grabbed her hand and pulled her in the direction that he was walking in. Sasuke sat her down in the lounge while he disappeared into the kitchen. After a short while Sasuke returned carrying a tray that held two tea cups. Sasuke bent down and placed one cup in front of Hinata, as Sasuke was about to go and take a seat on the opposite end of the table he felt Hinata clutch his hand "Is…something wrong Hinata?"
Hinata shook her head "C-could you p-please sit with m-me….Sasuke-kun?"
Sasuke didn't give Hinata an answer; he just sat himself down next to Hinata. Hinata slowly took a sip of the warm tea Sasuke had prepared for her, she closed her eyes as she swallowed the first sip 'It feels like I am lying under the warm sun'
"S-sasuke-kun, t-this tea is r-really delicious" Hinata smiled at Sasuke
Sasuke felt so overjoyed to see Hinata smile again "I'm glad that you like it Hinata. My mother used to make it when I was a child, it's one of most happiest memories" Sasuke paused "….I wanted to share that bit of happiness with you for the last time, but this tea is not as perfect I wanted it to be"
"N-Neji nii-san interrupted y-you didn't he? Hinata said
Sasuke remained silent
"I-I could feel his presence e-ever since Tsunade-sama and Shizune-san l-left" Hinata looked at her reflection in the tea "I-I'm sorry if h-he caused you any t-trouble S-Sasuke-kun"
"Not everything is your fault Hinata, you don't have to apologise for everything, it's okay" Sasuke said looking at her 'she smiled just like I had hoped she would' Sasuke thought
"T-Thank you for the new carpet S-Sasuke-kun, you really d-didn't have too" Hinata said looking at the carpet below her
"It's the least I could do. You gave up your time to take of me" Sasuke answered
Hinata drank the last of her tea and placed the tea cup onto the tray. Sasuke was still drinking his tea at a slow pace in order to stay a little longer, but it wasn't exactly working. A blush crept onto his face when he felt Hinata's head on his left shoulder, he felt Hinata's hand gently wrap around his left arm. He placed his half empty cup onto the table, 'she's really… so gentle' he thought as he laid his right hand onto hers. He noticed that she did not flinch or jump at the touch of Sasuke's hand, it was as though it was something she was used and found comfort in; Sasuke could not help but let a smile grace his face as he placed his head onto hers.

After some time Sasuke lifted his head to view the time '18:39, the sun sets in 11 minutes.'
Hinata lifted her head from Sasuke's shoulder "I-Is it time?"
Sasuke nodded before getting up and carrying the trays into the kitchen. He returned to the lounge to find Hinata standing, his heart sank at the sight of the fragile women that stood in front of him. "…Hinata…" it felt so difficult to speak to her so he bowed to her instead and slowly headed for the front door. Hinata followed Sasuke 'Sasuke…. I…. love you, don't leave me. Stay with me…stay by my side' Hinata thought as the words burnt to be free from the narrow passage in her throat. Sasuke opened the door and stood in the door way, as the dim sunlight covered his body. He stood there as if waiting for Hinata to say the words he wanted to hear and the words he knew she wanted to say. He turned his body to face her and Hinata walked to him. Hinata looked into his charcoal eyes 'they have changed since the day he arrived, he looks like a new man', she placed her arms around his muscular body and felt Sasuke respond by placing his around hers.

"I have to go" Sasuke broke away for her embrace. He looked at her again before placing his hands into his pockets "…Hinata close your eyes and turn around"
'How cruel…?' Hinata thought as she turned around. She felt something wrap around her neck 'a necklace?' she thought
"You can… turn around now" Sasuke said
Hinata turned around to face Sasuke again as she touched the necklace the sat around her neck. Sasuke smiled "It looks good on you"
Hinata blushed "T-Thank you, w-where did you get it from?"
"I found them in the garment you bought me" Sasuke looked at the one in his hand "The one in my hand seems to be an exact replica of the one my brother wore around his neck"
Hinata took the one in Sasuke's hand and offered to put it on for him, Sasuke agreed. Sasuke turned around and held Hinata's hands in his "I will see you around Hinata. Take good care of yourself" Hinata nodded as she watched Sasuke closed the door behind him. She then leaned against the door, sat down and let tears cover her face 'I didn't tell him…I didn't tell him how I felt for him….now he is gone'

After he shut the door behind him, Sasuke ran, he then ran past a smiling Neji. He just ran, that was the only he could do before he turned back and returned to Hinata. He then found himself standing on a bridge. He felt a pain within the right side of his chest, this pain didn't feel new to him but it felt different somehow something he knew he had never felt before. With the bright orange light shining on his pained eyes he looked back to her home 'Did I really leave….did I really leave her all alone?' Sasuke thought shutting his eyes 'It hurts, why does my heart hurt so much?'
"Its called love little brother" a familiar voice said to Sasuke
Sasuke opened his eyes and saw a familiar face within the water's surface "If it is love then why does it hurt so much big brother?"
