Chapter Twenty-Nine: Dark

Both ninja, she mused, were dark. Hinata though, held the promise of light. She was the moon, reflecting the light of the sun to the shadows on the earth. One half always in shadow, another half always in light.

Sasuke needed to be exposed to that light. He needed to understand shades of grey.

And while the sun was too harsh, exposing dark and bringing light, the moon was forgiving and softening in her touch, the light caressing and cool.

She laughed at her cliché musings, and turned her back on them. She had her own light to bask in.
