The three were walking back to their village now, after having completed their mission successfully. “Phew, could sure use a dip into the hotsprings right now.” Hinata’s eyes gleamed with excitement at Naruto’s comment. “Me too, Naruto-kun.” Sasuke was swift to notice the sparkle in her eye. Sasuke asked himself, what exactly made her so relaxed around someone as silly as Naruto? Is this another thing that Sasuke would have to compete over with his rival? Pathetic, he mumbled to himself mentally. “Go with Kakashi.” The Uchiha spoke monotonously.  He observed how Hinata’s head dangled

They were walking, approaching their destination. Hinata was beginning to feel a bit dizzy, and she could feel the lower half of her body limping out.   Before she knew it, Hinata fell onto the ground, her legs unable to keep her up any longer. “Hinata!” Naruto spun on his heels, and attended to her quickly.   “N- Naruto…” She muttered weakly through her lips. A moment passed as Naruto quickly examined her now red ankle. “She shouldn’t have come with us.” Sasuke side-eyed her. Hinata dare not meet his gaze, but she frowned and bit the bottom of her lip out of annoyance, rubbing her ankle to

“Come on, Naruto. We’re wasting time like this.” “Hold on.” Naruto slung his pack around his back, “Hinata, you ready?” Naruto glanced over to the shy princess.   “Mm.” Hinata muttered. “She’s tagging along?” Sasuke spoke briskly, and he did not bother to look at her, not bothering to pay her the slightest bit of attention. And Hinata noted how his tone sounded almost… condescending. It made the edges of her lips frown. “Yes, Hinata’s coming with us. She has a name, teme.” And that is when Sasuke finally took one solid glance at her. As if he w

DISCLAIMER: If you are against SasuHina, NaruSaku in ANY WAY SHAPE OR FORM, this fanfiction is not for you! I was personally challenged to write a SasuHina fanfic by a dear friend, so I thought why not! I love challenges. ;) I do think this pairing is aesthetically pleasing (c'mon... their color palletes practically match), but Sasuke and Hinata are both very reserved individuals, so it will be difficult for them to communicate. I hope you guys like my take on this pairing. As always, I try my best, and your support means so much! This story begins with Sasuke and Hinata around 19 years of age (so their designs after The Last movie). It is

She couldn’t. Aya couldn’t stand the sight of his back receding. She had to do something, and she had to do something quick. “Itachi, wait!” Aya ran on her heels, and tugged on his sleeve once more. Itachi looked down to her, startled. What happened next was out of the ordinary.   She met his lips into a kiss - to which Itachi stood unresponsive to, but eventually he caved in, as his shoulders relaxed and his hand now rested on her back.   They were both giving into the frustrations that kept them apart. She realized their kiss was becoming frenzied, Aya parted her lips from his before it could escalate any further,

“You were out in a hurry yesterday morning.” I said, my hands placed on my hips. “Am I boring you?” “Not at all.” He chuckled. “Well then, I’m glad I entertain you.” I bowed sarcastically. Today we had spent the morning outside, eating a picnic of breakfast I prepared earlier. I thought Itachi could use the fresh air. Maybe that would make him feel better, I thought. "I feel much better, thanks to you." He looked up to me. "It's nothing." I smiled, "Honestly Itachi... you're a hero in my eyes." "That's quite the stretch." Itachi looked away. "I mean it. You're a hero. In a different

BEFORE IT ALL STARTED: "LOSS" PART SIX — “Izumi?” Aya said loudly enough to make the walking brunette bop her head to her direction. “Izumi! It’s been a while. How are you?” They were both walking towards the park now, but Aya recognized something - something didn’t seem too right. Aya could tell by the sullen appearance on Izumi’s face - her eyes had been pink and swollen, and underneath them dark and purple. She look like she did not get enough sleep, as if she was crying. Izumi managed a pathetic half-smile. “Hey, Aya. Good, you?”   Aya frowned. Why would her friend bother h

BEFORE IT ALL STARTED: "DOUBT" PART FIVE — “Do me a favour, will ya?” Shisui nudged her elbow. “Sure. Anything for a friend.” Aya smiled. “Take care of Itachi when I’m not around.” She frowned. “Why so sudden?” “I’m just saying. He’s… comfortable around you. I hope you’ve realized?” “Right.” She nodded, turning her head the other way. “I’ll do my best!” “I know you will.” He ruffled her brunette hair. “Well, Aya.  I’ll see you sometime soon. You’re a great friend, you know that?
