Okay, from this chapter on Kanelbullen takes over the story. It may be a bit different than the other chapters, but hope you will like it.

When Hinata turned around to see that the door she and Obito passed through looked like it always had belonged to the place. It was like his strange dimension never had disappeared totally when they had went through the door.

Curiously she popped her head to check further away behind the opened door, this made the Uchiha to furrow his eyebrow in amusement.

"That dimension will only appear whenever I want." He told her as she looked back and nodded understanding. Hinata continued to study the place, Obito walking some meters behind her.

The place looked like an ancient cave. Fragments of rock were lying everywhere, showing that the place was soon about to fall apart. A big dirty bed was in the middle of the cave. The dusty sheets told her that someone had lived there long ago. Hinata wondered who would ever live in this kind of place. She turned around to ask Obito what kind of place this was, but as she did so her blood froze and she dropped the orange swirled mask.

Big awful sinister eyes made of stone pierced her. A mouth made of stone grinned down at her. She swallowed as a shudder went through her spine. Far away she heard a voice call for her.

"Oi, don't faint now!"

The next second she sat in Obito's lap while he looked down at her with a mix of amusing and concerned look. Hinata couldn't decide which one. "That was only a gedo mazo statue." He tried to comfort her.

"What kind of place is this?" she stuttered still pale as she felt the eyes of the gedo mazo burn into her back.

"This place…" he looked down at the bed he sat down, while pulling her down to the spot beside him "…during a time when I was fatally hurt I had to stay her for a very long time." Something in his look told Hinata that he hadn't talked about this because it seemed to be a very painful memory. She remained silent in case he wanted to let out everything right then. "

"I had no other company than that old sick man Madara." He continued on and picked up the orange swirl mask to play with. Hinata shuddered at the memory off Madara Uchiha's bloody head. "That man almost succeeded to draw all my hopes of returning back to Konoha."

Hinata put shyly her hand upon his hand to comfort him if it was needed. His face darkened by the memories. She was shocked over hearing this story. Being trapped with that man would surely make her lose sanity. She couldn't judge Madara at all since she had never met him personally, but the stories Hinata had heard of him was anything but nice.

"That time was an awful time. I was very worried of Rin and Kakashi and just wanted to come from this place. Due to my injuries I just couldn't escape from here… Sometimes I really thought that I never would see them again."

He put the mask before at his face, probably to hide the emotions. Hinata didn't know and it made her feel a bit afraid. He wished that he would remove the mask and let her in his little world. There were so many things about him she still didn't know, so many things she wanted to know.

"I had no idea how long I spent wasting my life here… It felt like being isolated from the whole world… After all I was a prisoner here." He muttered.

"…" What could she say in this situation? What could she do to make him feel better? What he had gone through had left traces in his life. Not only words could treat that. Not knowing what she could do she just stayed silent and watched him.

"When we finally reunited... Rin was dying. It felt like all the training had been all in vain. Like all the hopes of returning had shattered."

Obito did still love Rin. That was the truth after all, she was still most part in his heart and he would probably never stop loving her. The truth made her heart jump very hard as she felt how something pressed in her chest. The feeling was uneasy, yet very warm and yet very lonely… Would someone ever feel the same about her like what Naruto felt towards Sakura, like Obito felt towards Rin?

Hinata ignored the bittersweet feeling inside her and watched the man that had been silent for a long time. She wondered what his face now liked like under that mask.

"You are back in Konoha now." Hinata mumbled comfortingly, as she entwined her hand in his. He lifted his mask so that only his mouth was visible, but that was enough to see streaks of something wet on his cheeks.

Something clenched inside her, but she calmed down when she saw how a grin formed on his lips: "I know, and I am very thankful that you helped me to get a new purpose in life."

Hinata wasn't really listening to him. Her attention was dragged to those soft lips. Only by looking at them she felt butterflies in her stomach, every cell in her was burning and lusting after to touch those with her own mouth.

The thought made her a new shade of crimson red.

Not knowing that their faces were so close to each other that their nose-tips almost touched each other, while they felt each other's warm breathings.

He turned away from her and rose. "Perhaps we should head back…"

In silence they walked back, this time Hinata went a bit behind him. She cursed her as she felt embarrassed. What had she thought about? Kissing him? She hit herself inwardly while she reminded that he probably didn't was at the mood to do such things. After all they still weren't that close and after all… she wasn't the one he loved. And that truth shattered her on the inside.

After the time in Obito's dimension they both were busy with other things. Hinata was happy that there had been a small distance between them after the last embarrassing encounter. Even though both her dogs missed him and tried to run into the Uchiha compound whenever they passed she never entered. It wasn't that Hinata wanted to avoid anyone, but the distance gave her more time to think about everything.

While she was helping to prepare for Sakura and Naruto's wedding her thoughts were already only concentrating in doing her best without screwing up. Hinata wasn't going to let anyone step on her ego or make her to lose her face.

But that wasn't easy at all. Her old friend went around and scolded everyone that made even the tiniest mistake ever.

"Agh, I can't believe her." Her younger sister muttered, as it was the third time the both of them had had to run back to Yamanaka's flower shop to change the flowers. "Why can't she be a bit more specific in what flower species she want?"

"She is probably just nervous about the ceremony." Hinata suggested.

Hanabi just snorted and rolled her eyes. "I hope this is soon over." She sighed. To Hinata helping with Naruto's wedding had given her chances to bond more with her sister and do such things they never ever had been able to do with each other while growing up in their strict clan. So for Hinata this had been a wonderful time she got to spend with Hanabi.

Suddenly she bumped into someone. A familiar grunt was heard and she found her face to face with Genma.

"If it isn't Hinata." He said in a surprised tone as the senbon switched over to the other side of his mouth. "You should be more careful. I have a cake her for the banshee's wedding and if she once again don't like it I don't know how I will afford to buy the next cake."

"Same here." Hinata gestured towards the white lilies in her arms. He looked over at them while she felt his eyes study her body. Her heart pounded a bit harder when she felt him put one of the lilies in her hair. The feeling was gently as he touched in her long hair locks and she felt a shudder go through her spine. Beside her Hanabi twitched her eyes in suspicion.

"You're beautiful with those in your hair. It fits your eyes." He told her as she felt how her face was burning. Even though her heart skipped very hard right then it wasn't the same as the times she spent with Obito. Something in this feeling made her a bit uneasy inside and she wanted to hurry towards Ino's flower shop.

"Well, my eyes are the same color… Could you put some lilies in my hair as well? I am very sure it also would fit me, wouldn't it?" Hanabi gave the man a smile with a very dark aura. She couldn't help but feel a bit jealous that Hinata got all his attention, however, it was also fun to tease people like this.

"Sorry, but you have a uneasy look on your face, I don't dare to come closer…" A vein popped in the younger girl's head after hearing the retort. Meanwhile Hinata giggled at their funny antics.

Genma just rolled with his eyes when he heard the giggle and departed with a "See you at the wedding tomorrow." He ignored the younger girl who shouted coward after him. Meanwhile Hinata felt a bit at ease. Suddenly she heard a poff behind her. Rapidly she turned around to see Kakashi who had teleported himself to her.

"You need to come to Tsunade's office." He told her. "Now."

"Wha-?" Hinata hadn't time to react before she was dragged away. She turned around to apologize to Hanabi before she asked what had happened.

"The other elemental countries got the information that Obito is back in Konoha. Worst of all was that they got to know a bit too much about him. Like that he was an Akatsuki-member and some of his crimes."

Hinata looked shockingly at the Copy nin as he told her about the sad news. A cold lump filled her stomach as she thought about the Uchiha. Why had anything like this happened? She wondered. Inwardly she cursed herself for not being at his side during these days… Obito had probably needed her the most right then…

Hope this chapter didn't disappoint you
