A/N: Post-war story. Does not follow past chapter 699, cause Boruto sucks. Sasuhina centered. For reference, it starts with Hinata and Sasuke at 22yrs old.
He entered the darkened room shrouded in complete silence, moving with enviable stealth characteristic of elite ninjas. A skill learned practically since infancy. However, his current task had little to do with his abilities or occupation, and it wasn't even related to a mission.
A recent incident had reminded him, without a doubt, it did no matter how much strength, skill and power he had developed and acquired over the years. Shit, alongside Naruto, he was likely the strongest shinobi in the land. Uchiha Sasuke was still a mortal human, however, deeply flawed, and certainly more than capable of making mistakes.
Maturity often comes with age, and this can sometimes lead to wisdom. And wisdom dictates that one should take responsibility for their actions.
He carried with him a steaming meal tray. The food and tea were purposely bland in taste, to prevent nausea and emesis, but nutritious nonetheless.
Her small body laid curled up in the small wooden bed, covered almost completely from head to toe by a plain blanket, just like each day. A slim arm, the only part of her body jutting out was connected to an IV tower through an IV line, from which she received her penultimate dosage of intravenous antibiotics.
"Hinata", he called softly not wanting to startle her and shook lightly her arm. She flinched in response.
Sasuke let out an almost imperceptible sigh.
He had stopped calling her Hyuga many days ago. Specially after the incident. An unmentionable affair, intimate, intense and torrential. Also, extremely lurid and savage.
He could still hear her moans and painful cries when he closed his eyes at night. The cute way she would call out weakly his name. The feel of her soft skin under him, and the god-awful pleasurable feel of her insides.
He saw her stir up, and flutter her long eyelashes drowsily, opening then her peculiar pearl colored eyes little by bit. Eyes he had become extremely familiar with recently.
"Mhh... Sasuke-kun...", she whispered with a faint murmur.
"I brought you something to eat", he announced in a low voice, seeing her finally sit down slowly in bed.
The blanket fell from her shoulders, leaving on display unbeknownst to her, a long sleeved, white and almost see-through linen camisole. One that did not conceal entirely the shape of ample breasts and beautifully rounded nipples. Breasts he had avidly feasted on not long ago.
Sasuke cursed Oroshimaru inwards to the deepest levels of hell, knowing full well the snake sannin had provided such garment to fuck with him on purpose.
"A-Arigatou...", she did not look at him, and feeble, she started picking up small bits of rice with her spoon. He knew she didn't have much of an appetite, but she always made an effort to eat something from every meal tray he would bring over.
He ensured every time the tray would carry a spoon and not chopsticks. Had already made the mistake in the past in bringing over food without a spoon... and the reality was seeing her eat with trembling hands, barely able to hold her food with the utensils, it had tightened the strings of his (previously thought to be dead) heart in a manner he never thought capable.
She looked disheartened, but at least he had not heard her cry in days. Her long hair was clean but messy, her face pale and haggard, but overall she looked much better than she did days ago. She was still a pretty little thing in his eyes.
The IV machine beeped, announcing the end of the medication drip, and Sasuke moved over to turn it off. He had gotten quite familiar with such blasted devices, having gotten IV antibiotics himself.
"Is there anything else I could do for you?" he asked curtly afterwards, uncomfortable, not knowing what other tone to use.
"Ano... what time is it Sasuke-kun?" she asked softly, her cheeks gaining a charming pink, still not looking at his face face.
"It is past eleven in the morning", he replied knowing what she would ask next.
"Ahh..." the young woman paused for a moment, "is it possible... if it's not too much trouble... Could I get a bit of sunlight and fresh air?" she asked with a sweet tone.
It was no trouble. And even if it was, Sasuke knew there was nothing he could possibly deny her.
He nodded giving her an arm. She wobbled slightly when he helped her get to her feet, and helped her walk with a wooden cane as she had for the past couple of weeks.
•••
She sat quietly on a large and smooth rock under the foliage of an old oak tree, and he stood watch a few steps aside, to allow her some privacy. He saw her tighten the blanket around her shoulders in response to a gust of wind, but all in all it seemed like she was enjoying the outdoor's fresh air.
He understood she must have been shaken by... the whole thing and it was with no small amount of uncertainty that he watched her, believing that perhaps deep inside she hated him. However, she had not been anything but amiable and cordial.
It was bizarre to say the least. He was used to not caring about what others thought, or didn't think about him. He served Konoha in the shadows, did his duty, but ultimately he was his own man, and his loyalty and confidence laid only within himself. He could not care less if Konoha loved or hated him either.
He was also used to women's unconditional attention, no matter the situation. He was no stranger to the adoring looks from the young, and the lustful stares from the older and mature. The insinuations, sometimes even the daring, non-consensual gropes, and yes, even the occasional fucking when it tickled his fancy.
Hinata on the other hand, had not been just an ocasional fuck. She didn't even pay much attention to him. Rather it seemed, she could not even look him directly to his eyes. Shit, it felt somewhat insulting at times, after all they went through.
He felt the presence of the ANBU operative standing watch close by almost right away, and paid no mind. He was aware there was always a guard stationed permanently, lurking around Orochimaru's hideout —keeping tabs on the wayward sannin.
It didn't matter. He had personally messaged Kakashi already, informing him of the situation and Hinata's whereabouts several days ago with one of his hawks, at least some parts of it, and the fact the Hyuga was still undergoing medical treatment.
He stood against a tree, contemplating her small frame. Crestfallen and pale eyes closed, cheeks slightly sunken but already gathering a charming pink hue, thanks to —and he hated to say it— Orochimaru's care. She had thankfully covered her shoulders and most of her upper body with the blanket, hiding under that infernal, see-through chamise what he knew were exquisite womanly curves.
It wasn't a particularly cold day either. The cool breeze of Spring giving way to a mostly pleasant atmosphere... but he had been informed starvation could potentially cause drops in body temperatures, and Hinata was after all still recuperating her chakra reserves.
The man's silent still form, surrounded by nature's peace and quiet, belied the turmoil raging inside. He knew each passing day he wasn't actively searching for those motherfuckers was another day they lived unpunished for their actions. Ultimately, he was going to find all of those involved. It was just a matter of time, and he fully well planned on throughly fucking-them-up... no need for Kakashi to find out about his plans. He wasn't known as the Uchiha Avenger for nothing.
However, he didn't trust Orochimaru enough to leave the girl alone under his "caring" hands. Who knew what insane designs he might come up with. It wasn't every day an unsealed young Hyuga was dropped off at his doorsteps, like and early Christmas gift, and he had already been suspicious the snake man might have been drawing a bit too much blood than was necessary from the young woman. Even with Jugo around —who of all things, seemed to have developed an infatuation with the girl.
His shoulders tensed, and he closed his eyes briefly in exasperation, sensing the approach of two very familiar figures. He was hoping he would be gone by the time those two would return from... whatever it was Orochimaru had set them out to do.
Sasuke pressed the bridge of his nose, trying to dissipate the upcoming headache, and sure to be vexation.
"Oi! Sasuke!" the boisterous man called with more enthusiasm than was needed, and Sasuke held back from rolling his eyes.
"Suigetsu", he acknowledged calmly, unmoving from his still position by the tree.
"Long time no see—" and he caught the unfamiliar feminine presence. His aqueous purple eyes falling on the small figure leaning against a rock.
"What do we have here, who's this cute little thing?" and Sasuke felt his left eye twitch in annoyance.
She did look cute. Swaddled like a child within the blanket. Her head the only salient parts of her body that weren't covered by some fabric, enhancing the delicate and fair features of her aristocratic face: pale skin, high cheekbones, small rosebud lips, and shiny dark hair that had probably seen better days, its long length covered by the layers of woolen fabric.
"Sasuke", his eyes shifted, falling then on the blood-red haired woman, staring him down with that intense gaze she was so well known for.
"Karin", he greeted stoically, seeing then both their eyes fall curiously on the foreign kunoichi.
"Ano—" Hinata flushed pink, getting so flustered he took pity on her.
"This is Hyuga Hinata...", he offered briefly.
"Cool fucking eyes yo!" the Hyuga blushed darker and he saw with no small degree of exasperation, her getting up and attempt to bow in that genteel manner she seemed to always carry about herself.
"Stop that, or you will mess your hip even further!", he barked and the girl stood shaken, and bowed her head instead.
"Kawaii...", Suigetsu whispered in amazement, unused to soft-spoken and agreeable females.
"She looks like shit." Karin interjected quick and impolite. "Actually, you look like shit too. The fuck happened to you both?" She questioned crossing her arms under her chest, in that bullish and crass manner he was so familiar with.
Sasuke kept quiet because he was not the type to explain himself to no one, picking some imaginary dirt from under a nail, hopefully giving the hint he was not planning on elaborating.
"Eto...", then of course there was her, "we were injured and Oroshimaru-sama had been gracious—" a couple of snorts interrupted her momentarily, but she continued with polite disregard, "kind enough to allow us refuge and rest... until we are better", this time it was Karin's time to snort, but didn't comment.
Karin must have then caught something on Sasuke's eye... he imagined it must have been the way he stared at the Hyuga.
"Are you two fucking?", she asked casually and Sasuke had to repress a tired roll of eyes. Hinata sputtered, unsurprisingly getting all flustered.Trust crazy jealous women to pick up on shit like that.
He did not fuck with Karin, because that meant opening Pandora's box and he did not fuck with crazy. Mind you, he was certain the Uzumaki was more than capable of giving him the time of his life, but enjoying good sense and decent level of self-restraint, he normally didn't let his cock dictate his actions —with the exception of the latest event.
Sasuke stared back at his crimson-haired former teammate with a flat, bored look. Suigetsu sputtered like an idiot, and Hinata's face got so red it seemed for a moment hot smoke would come out of her ears.
"No, we aren't fucking Karin. Not that that would be any of your business even if we were", he answered flatly.
"Mhhh... So what, do you want some of my chakra then?", she teased, offering with a devious smirk.
"She might need it more than I do", he gestured to the Hyuga, not really believing Karin would go through with her offer anyways, getting quite surprised the moment she actually walked towards the other woman, extending an arm in offer.
Hinata did not seem to understand, and Sasuke's visible eye widened slightly, while Suigetsu gaped, apropos resembling a fish out of water.
"Her name is Uzumaki Karin. They have very special chakra", he pointed out as a form of explanation before Hinata's puzzled expression.
"Uzumaki... are you... are you related to Naruto-kun?", and for one, Hinata's eyes widened in surprise while Sasuke's twitched in annoyance.
"I sure fucking hope not", she cut in flatly.
"She's part of the same clan", Sasuke provided and Karin raised a red eyebrow, more than awed at Sasuke's subdued manner in which he addressed the other lady.
"Here. Just bite", the woman thrusted her arm at the other one's face, but Hinata never took the proffered limb, worrying her lower lip in confusion.
"I'm so sorry... I don't understand..."
"Just fucking bite, would you", Karin demanded brazenly, making Hinata recoil even further into her covers.
"She has healing chakra, just do it", Sasuke pushed, having come to understand recently the Hyuga as a bundle of hesitancy.
"Ano... gomenasai...", her pink lips opened and took on the offer. His dark, only visible eye bled red, following Hinata's biting of her wrist, causing both girls to moan. One lady unused to such rush of amazingly pure chakra; the other one, to such considerate, gentle bite.
Karin's eyes closed and Hinata's pupil-less lilac irises darkened to almost purple and the veins around her eyes swelled with energy. The blanket around her shoulders fell, revealing skin and the light camisole, and the noticeable love bite markings around her neck disappearing.
"Shit..." Suigetsu cursed low, and Sasuke concurred in sentiment. If the weakening of his usually stoic, self-controlled demeanor into sudden keen arousal had been of any indication, one could just imagine Suigetsu's. None of them had ever seen Karin get bitten by another girl.
Karin fell to her knees, and Hinata teeth let go of the woman's arm to hold the other woman steady. She was just too kind.
"Ahmm... I think I'll go take a shower... Bye Karin, Hinata-chan", Suigetsu waved goodbye, and Sasuke mouth flattened, narrowing his eyes at the Mist ninja's retreating back headed in a hurry towards Oroshimaru's framework entrance.
"Your hair... is so pretty...", the Hyuga muttered softly, holding onto the body of the Uzumaki, who looked up at her with more subdued red eyes.
"You seem like a sweet and kind person. Don't let this asshole fuck with you", Karin spoke softly in her ear before getting up. Sasuke heard the sassy words nonetheless.
Karin sauntered out, walking past Sasuke only to stop by momentarily to whisper, "You know what's funny? You somehow seem to care for her... and she doesn't give a shit about you", she mocked, staring directly into his eyes, licking Hinata's bite.
"Hinata-chan, if you get tired of this jerk, come to my room tonight. I will give you a good time!" she called out airily, smiling and waving a hand into the air.
Hinata watched her retreating back, dumbfounded.
Sasuke thought the worst part of it was, Karin was probably right... on both counts.
•••
Hinata let out a tired sigh of relief when the grand gates of Konoha City finally came into view.
It was good to be home.
Uzumaki Karin's chakra had been a great help in speeding up her recovery, and she blushed lightly recalling a few insinuations... It was rather comical and ironic, there being an Uzumaki out there that actually found her attractive, and she couldn't help it when a sad little smile flickered across her face. However, although she was still limping, at least she had no need of a cane to walk, and she was more than grateful for it.
Sasuke had carried her on his back in silence. All the way to the village, saying nothing still as he dropped her off at the hospital's main entrance.
She didn't know how to feel about him, specially after everything that happened. Even though he was all she ever thought about. It was all her mind could focus on, as there was no emotional space for anything else.
"I will let Kakashi know you are here", he finally spoke. His grave tone sending shivers down her spine, unwittingly calling upon dark remembrances of his voice, "there might be a way... that could potentially stimulate my chakra..."
"Arigatou Sasuke-kun...", she spoke low, looking down the ground. Suddenly unsure of... anything in life.
"Are you...", he hesitated, "are you ok?" and there was rare kindness in his voice.
"I will be fine...", she smiled softly, and then finally, she looked him in the eyes and Sasuke felt his stomach drop.
"I'm sorry..." he finally said, unable to break the eye contact
"It... it worked... and we are alive... and that's what matters, does it not?", and she tried to convince herself as well, as small droplets gathered around the corner of her eyes.
"But you deserved better than that..."
"We are ninja... we live lives of sacrifice...", she spoke firm, glad that for once her voice didn't break.
She bowed lightly, and made to depart inside. It was still early in the evening but thankfully not many people loitered around, when she felt an arm circle suddenly around her neck. Hinata let out a soft gasp, and when he closed the distance between their mouths, she did not push him away.
He touched her lips with his own in an initial gentle kiss that slowly deepened. Sneaking his hot tongue inside her mouth, tasting her, wrapping his tongue around hers in an almost stranglehold. The intensity not unlike the way his own body had so tightly gripped hers in the throes of maddening passion. Never letting go.
She closed her eyes as Sasuke furiously sucked her lips and twirled his tongue as if to take her soul away. Dazed in the moment, her soft moans were drowned out by his lips.
His other arm went around her body, and she remained limp in his arms. Her large chest pressed tightly against his much wider one, and she held back moans, feeling bewildered, overpowered and out of breath.
He broke the kiss then, finally releasing her from his hard hold. There were no promises, no words of any kind, and she felt her cheeks burning as he turned away, his dark cape fluttering behind, only for him to disappear a second later.
Just a strange goodbye kiss.
Hinata looked at the empty space. One hand unconsciously brushed her moistened lips, while the other stroked her belly. She was left with a rare feeling that it wasn't going to be the last time she would be seeing him.
Limping and mustering as much dignity as she was capable, she entered through the automatic glass doors and approached the front desk where a couple of older nurses sat, chatting animatedly while looking down at some files.
The air conditioner refreshed her overheated skin from all those many traveling outdoor hours, and she sighed lightly in relief. She was also very hungry, and really, all she wanted was to go home, snuggle in her own bed, and sleep. Hopefully for days. But some things in life were priority, such as her health.
Hinata straightened her posture, "Hello, my name is Hyuga Hinata. Rank Jonin. My ninja registration number is 012612. I just returned from a mission and I need to be checked in for injuries."
•••
"As you requested. This is how much intel I have gathered on the case. Iwagakure has been particularly helpful, as I believe those people came from that area. Hope you find it useful."
"That works", the Uchiha nodded curtly, grabbing swift the proffered scroll.
"Sasuke, are you alright?" his former sensei asked, concern clouding his voice. He looked at him closely, both hands clapped with fingers interlaced atop the desk. "You look tired. Maybe you should take a break. Stay her for a few days. Might do you some good." Kakashi was trying to be helpful, for the sake of his former pupil's health.
"I'm fine", was his clipped response.
"How about miss Hinata?"
"She...", and for once Sasuke faltered. The copy ninja noticed, much to the Uchiha's annoyance, "she will be alright. I just dropped her off at the hospital", he finalized, gathering his composure and looking straight into his gray eyes.
"Is there...", Kakashi paused, looking pensive, "is there anything noteworthy that occurred during the days you both were trapped?"
"No", he spoke tersely, without offering further word.
"I'm leaving now. I'll see you when I see you", Sasuke spoke his parting words.
"It was good seeing you Sasuke", and the younger man disappeared from the Hokage's office by use of his Rinnegan Eye power.
"Shikamaru", he called on his current assistant who entered immediately the office.
"Yes Hokage-sama."
"I would like to be kept updated on Hyuga Hinata's health status."
"Are you worried Sasuke might have done something?", the genius ninja asked blandly crossing his arms over his chest.
"Tell me something Shikamaru...", and Kakahi leaned his head on a hand, pensive, "If you ever found yourself locked in with a woman for almost a week and thought you were going to die. What would you do?"
"I would probably go fucking insane", the Nara admitted promptly with a snort.
"Alright", Kakashi nodded to himself.
"Anything else Hokage-sama?"
"Yes. Please, send a message to Hyuga Hiashi that his daughter is back."
"Of course. I think everyone at the office will be relieved to see the Hyuga Head stop his neurotic daily visits."
"Come on Shikamaru. The poor man's been worried sick about his daughter. He's not getting any younger. I'm glad she's back. Just... I want to see her medical report when it's ready. Tell the medical staff she... Hinata doesn't need to know."
"As you order Hokage-sama."
•••
The old snake sannin looked at his computer screen with unadulterated delight.
Human Chorionic Gonadotropin - level 42mlU/mL
Dutifully, he had checked her blood markers almost on a daily basis, but he was fully aware such pleasing result would not show itself right away. It took a bit of time, like all great things in life.
Unlike what most would assume —specially because it was him, the traitor sannin and mad scientist— there were no ulterior motives behind his jubilation, but rather an uncorrupted and exceptional desire for knowledge. Although truth be told, he did save up some of that pure Hyuga blood... Aahh maybe for a rainy day. Who knows.
Notwithstanding, the possibilities were endless between those two. Could it be a pale Sharingan, or a dark Byakugan, or perhaps something even more special and powerful that had yet to exist in the history of the shinobi world!?
Oroshimaru's eyes shined bright, as happy crocodile tears gathered around the purple senjutsu chakra lines surrounding his slanted eyes. After all, the children grew up so fast...
"Oroshimaru-sama?" Suigetsu stared at the older man with a worried expression on his face, as Oroshimaru's own face transformed from disturbing grimaces, to dreadful smiles. That's it, snake man's lost it!
"Mhh...?", and after a pensive pause, where he mostly ignored the Mist ninja, he added, "Actually Suigetsu. When will you be heading to the local village again?"
"Next week... why?" he asked with no small amount of wariness.
"I will need you to get me a newborn baby catalog. Yes."
Suigetsu stared in confusion. Then did a double take, and looked then in horror at the older man's terrifying smile. The fuuuuck?
: Pero Ginko-chan, why are you starting a new story when you have three other unfinished ones!?
: I don't know man, I'm sorry """"(
