A / N :

Hello everyone!
It's been a while since I updated this story! :D
Well, a pathetic excuse, but this stupid computer really hates me!

ALRIGHT! LET'S GET ONTO THE STORY! :D x
I really hope people are still interested in this story! :D x

Orochimaru gave a sneaky smile and stepped back toward his desk, and seated himself.

"It seems as if you care Sasuke-kun." he grinned as he elaborated on the word 'care'. Sasuke could only give a similar smile that almost matched Orochimaru's, yet laced with a hint of disgust. He looked at Hinata and glared hard. "I was told by your cousin that your father wanted you immediately. He needed to get to work as soon as possible." Sasuke hissed, walking over to her, grabbing her by the wrist. Hinata was surprised by the sudden motion he performed with a blink of an eye.

"Oh, Sasuke-kun. Be sure to attend the full detention next time." Orochimaru asked, yet, if you were to listen closely enough like Sasuke himself, his words sounded sarcastic. As if it hinted him to be aware. He glared over his shoulder and stared at that piece of trash teacher.

"Oh be sure to be seeing a lot of me... Sensei" he hissed, walking out, slamming the door shut.

Sasuke's grip on Hinata was tight and he kept that grip firm throughout the whole time he made his way out of the school buildings. He turned a corner, only to be reminded that he was gripping onto the petite arm of the Hyuuga. He turned back almost shocked to be pulling on her like that. She winced at the pain when he roughly let her go. She looked at him with a curious questioning look. He twitched at that look, ignoring her and walking off.

"U-Uchiha-san... D-did m-my cousin- Uh, N-Neji nii-sama. Did he r-really ask y-you to send that m-message to m-me?" she asked. A bit of hope laced within those words she spoke. Sasuke gave a blank answer which set her hopes on a low.

"I was told that you were in deep trouble." he hissed. Hinata's heart felt as if it stopped. She looked to her feet, nearly about to pass out if her mind hadn't thought that her heart had stopped beating for her to live her life. She gave a hesitant nod, yet covered her nervous expressions with a serene smile. "Th-thank you... F-for telling m-me" she bowed, turning around and began making her way to her home... But was stopped by a rough tug to her shoulder.

"It's dark." he hissed, walking in front of her. She looked at him with a questioning stare. "U-Uchiha-san...-", "Look, Hyuuga. It's either I walk you home now, or else I leave you here to be raped and possibly killed." he hissed. The mental images flashed in her mind, never making her think twice about his sudden genius offer.

They walked in silence, yet to her it felt as if she needed to say something to lighten up the suffocation of silence. She felt rather awkward walking in the presence of the High school heart throb. She didn't know what to do. She just gave a sigh.

"What was that sigh for." he asked, almost like a demand. She was frightened by his sudden ask. She immediately retreated her glance to her nervously twittering fingertips and chewed her bottom lip. "I, uh... I-I don't usually walk this fast." she muttered, nervously. Just as she was about to pass him, he stopped abruptly. She looked at him in sudden surprise. "You're a terrible liar, Hyuuga" he hissed. She saw the small glimpse of concern in his eyes, but it instantly vanished once he realised that she stared at him long enough to try and read his emotion, making him glare harder at her. Her eyes averted to the ground immediately and blushed. She hadn't stared at someone that long before. He turned back to the path before them both. "You were thinking of ways to come up with a conversation." he read her mind. She silently cursed herself as she held her arms close her to body. "I suggest you don't. It'll just be troublesome." he assured, continuing to walk.

They came to her street's corner. He looked at her and rolled his eyes. "Hurry up and get inside before you catch a cold or something." he growled, beginning to make his way back to his house. Before he walked off, he was tugged by the arm. He turned back to see her on the ground, bowing at his feet. He arched a brow and stared at her as if she was crazy. (At that moment, she was being crazy at a time like this). "Domo arigatou. Uchiha-san" she muttered. Sasuke glared down at her with annoyance. "What the hell are you doing, Hyuuga-!" before she could answer him, she got up, off of her knees and bowed once again, turning away and ran back to her home. He watched her as she stopped a delicate silver gate that had the street light cascading down to give it a golden glow. He didn't understand this annoying girl, and shook her acknowledgement off, walking back to his home.

Hinata...

I looked up at the Hyuuga Residence gates and held me breath. I didn't know what to expect. I sighed, replaying those words Uchiha-san said to me back at the school gates.

'I was told that you were in big trouble.'

I shook my head, rubbing the remaining tears from my eyes. A lot has happened in a day. I didn't know why it all happened so suddenly, but I didn't want to remember this day every again.

My mind then trailed to what happened back in the detention room.

'Oh? You want to study that? What about heath?'

I shuddered and closed my eyes, shaking my head. I couldn't believe Orochimaru-sensei would have done that! I really wanted to scream when I couldn't do anything to stop him! I hate myself for not being able to back hand him, or tell him to pi- to pis- to get lost! I hated myself for being weak. For being timid and annoying. For being... Me. I closed my eyes and sighed. I looked to where Uchiha-san and I were standing five minutes ago. But what surprised me most was that he just turned his back on me and began walking. I was surprised that he waited for me to reach my gate. I blinked twice to see if I was just imagining things, but I wasn't.

I smiled.

'If you hadn't come, I would've only dishonored myself even more...'

Sasuke...

All this in a single day.

What am I supposed to do? Now that stupid Hyuuga girl is in crap because of me not taking part of the damn blame.

Luckily I walked in when I needed to.

I sighed, shaking my head, sitting on my bed. I knew this was going to cause a lot of commotion at school if anyone found out. Orochimaru is a very respected sensei, and Hyuuga is just a nerd who is totally invisible. No one would've believed her if she told her side of the story. Sighing once again, I fell onto my back looking up at the empty ceiling.

"What the hell am I thinking so hard about!" I growled at myself, glaring at the bare sheer of white above me. I turned onto my side.

I've never thought so much about someone so irrelevant.

'Consider yourself lucky, Hyuuga. Don't you ever think this will last'

A/N :

Yes, this is short, I'm sorry. I've completely left Sakura out of this chapter, yet I have figured out the PERFECT role for her character in this story. Yes, it will have hints of SasuSaku within this fanfiction, but this is most definitely a SasuHina! Even though I've said that so many times.

I hope you've enjoyed this chapter. I am so happy to be up and writing again! :D x
