And as
Tenten watched Hinata fall asleep on her couch, she couldn’t help but wonder if
the young woman spoke the truth. It sounded so... out of this world. But why
would Hinata lie to her in the first place? Why lie about something that could
get her placed inside one of those horrible institutions again?
No, Tenten
decided that Hinata did speak the truth and that there was an incubus-demon in
her life right now. And from what Tenten understood, the demon was getting
rather possessive of Hinata. Which meant he probably was somewhere in the
neighbourhood, just out of Hinata’s line of vision.
Tenten got
up and walked to her kitchen window. She opened it and felt a bit stupid as she
called out into the air: “I know you’re here somewhere, you might as well come
in.”
There was a
light draft and then she saw a paper move over her table. He was here.
“Ok mister
demon that pester my best friend’s life at the moment. You know I can’t see
you, but I’m sure you can hear me and I want you to
listen and I want you to listen good!” Tenten started and looked to the place
where she thought the demon was residing.
There was
another shuffle with the paper, indicating that the demon was listening.
“Hinata-chan
is my best friend. She has gone through hell because people thought she was all
wrong in the head. And if you ever... and I mean it... if you ever cause her to
be put in one of those hospitals again I will find a way to see you and then I
will gut you and strangle you with your intestines, cut off your wings and keep
them as a trophy.” Tenten grabbed one of her priced daggers and made a few
fancy moves with it before she ran it down onto her table.
Sasuke
gulped and he was fairly sure that this person probably could do it without
even see him. And he had no such intentions. No, he wanted to protect the sweet
little sunshine –girl until she passed away. He wanted to tell this furious
Amazon woman that but he was not sure how to do it until he spotted a little
notepad and a pencil.
Tenten’s
dark eyes widened as she watched how words suddenly began to appear on her
little notepad. It was beyond freaky. She hadn’t been 110% sure about Sasuke’s
existence but this was scaring the pants of her. He was real, very real and he
was communicating with her.
“I will protect Hinata
with everything that I am. She’s the first human that has been able to see me
for 2000 years. I will not do anything that will put her in danger.” The note stated.
‘Two thousand years?? No wonder that he would
treasure her like nothing else. Of course he would be possessive over her.
She’s the only one he can communicate with on a normal scale,’ Tenten thought as she watched the
words form on the notepad.
“Good, because I would skin you alive and make a purse and a pair of new
shoes out of your skin if you ever hurt her.” Tenten replied, she
really wanted Hinata to be safe in his hands.
“I will be right at
her side protecting her until the day she dies.” The words spilled out on the
notepad.
“I’m glad
to hear it even if I do feel sorry for you. But take care of her and make sure
she finds some happiness in her life,” Tenten stated.
“I will go back to her
home now. Take care of her for me,”
“I will
Sasuke-san, don’t worry about it,” Tenten smiled.
There was
another draft and Tenten went to close the window. The demon had left the
building. Then she found the bottle with whisky and she poured herself another
glass. It went down her throat rather quickly.
“Damn...
this is just freaky,” she murmured as she walked into the living room and saw
Hinata sleep on her couch. “They were wrong. Your father and all those doctors
– they were so wrong. You were not crazy at all.... you are just amongst the
blessed ones that can help the spirits to go on their right path....”
“Yeah,
freaky...”
*****
Hinata
awoke the next morning feeling very refreshed, mentally speaking. And as she
realized that she was at Tenten’s apartment made her smile softly.
‘She really believed me...’ Hinata thought as she got up and
walked into the kitchen, set on making some tea for them both.
She noticed
the scribbles on the notepad that lied there on the kitchen table and like a
little curious soul she was, Hinata read it and turned tomato-coloured in the
matter of seconds.
She had no
problem with imagining what had occurred in the kitchen after she fell asleep.
Tenten had always been very protective of Hinata and most likely she had called
Sasuke into the kitchen even if she couldn’t see him and then threatened him.
But what surprised her and made her blush was the
passionate words that had been written.
“I think he
really cares about you.”
Hinata
turned around and saw Tenten stand in the kitchen doorway, rubbing the sleep
from her eyes.
“W-what?”
“That demon
of yours... he really cares about you.”
“Y-you t-talked to him?” Hinata mumbled.
“Well, we
did have some form of communication,” Tenten said as she smiled. “I threatened
to kill him if he hurt you in any way, that’s about the sum of it all. And he
agreed that he would protect you since you’re the only one that can see him
anyway and he don’t want anything to happen to you.”
Hinata
looked as if she was about to faint again so Tenten rushed forward and helped
her friend sit down on a chair.
“You really
should stop doing that, you’re going to give me a heart attack one day,” Tenten
scolded softly.
“S-sorry...”
“Well, so...
what do I give Akamaru, I don’t think I have any dog-food at home,” Tenten
began to look through her lookers when she heard a tap on the window. She
looked but there was nothing.
But then
again, she had been through some weird shit last night so why not open the
window and check things out?
And before
Tenten knew it she had a bag of dog-food in her hand and there was a little
note stuck to it.
“For
Akamaru-chan, I don’t want him to hate me,” it said.
“You know
Hinata-chan, this demon of yours is good demon-boy.”
Hinata
blinked.
“Well, just
look what he got Akamaru!” Tenten said and held up the bag with dog-food.
Hinata
blinked again and then shot a look through the window and indeed she could see
a happily grinning demon outside.
‘Please spare me,’ she silently groaned as she put up a little
shaky smile for her friend.
Tenten
found a plastic bowl and poured some dog food into it and within a blink of an
eye Akamaru was sitting next to Tenten, wagging his tail happily.
“You know
Hinata-chan, you must show me a drawing of this demon
of yours sometime. I want to know how he looks like,” Tenten said as she
continued where Hinata had left off – making tea for their breakfast.
Hinata
blushed and nodded.
“I’ll try
and do that,” Hinata answered and went to find butter, bread, cheese and other
things for their breakfast.
They ate
their breakfast in silence but you could see the small smiles they exchanged
between each other.
Afterwards
Tenten told Hinata to use her shower while she cleaned up after them in the
kitchen. Hinata complained about it but Tenten just shooed her away – telling
the white eyed woman that she was Tenten’s guest and that she shouldn’t have to
do anything except enjoy Tenten’s hospitality.
Twenty
minutes later Hinata had showered and put on a fresh change of clothes. Her wet
hair shone in the morning light and Tenten couldn’t help but think that her
friend had blossomed into one hell of a fine woman. ‘And if my hunches are true then there will be no mortal man that can
steal her heart.’
But Tenten
was shook out of her thoughts as the doorbell rang. She was a bit surprised
since it was still very early in the morning but she went to open it.
And she got
a good surprise.
“Gaara??”
“Good
morning, I hope I do not disturb you, Tenten-san?” he said as he bowed
slightly. In his hand he had a small bouquet of flowers.
Tenten
shook her head violently.
“Please
come in,” she said and held the door open for him to step inside her apartment.
“Here,
these are for you,” he said and held out the flowers.
Tenten
blushed and took the flowers.
“Thank you
very much.”
Hinata
heard it all from the living room and she got up to see who it was that came to
visit.
“You?”
Hinata gasped when she recognized the red haired man to be the one that was with
that blonde policeman.
“You?”
The red haired man raised an almost non existent eyebrow when he saw Hinata.
Tenten
gaped.
“You two
know each other?” Tenten asked.
“My partner
and I was called to her apartment after a couple of
phone calls of possible abuse,” the police man stated.
Hinata just
laughed nervously when Tenten looked at her.
“Well,
Hinata-chan, this is Gaara, Gaara,
meet Hinata-chan, my best friend.”
They shook
hands and nodded towards each other.
“You have
not had any more nightmares?” asked Gaara.
Hinata
shook her head and then she looked at Tenten.
“I should
probably get going. It was nice to meet you Gaara-san,
Tenten – I call you later?” she said.
“Alright,
just be sure to take care of your self now,” Tenten said and hugged her friend.
“You too,
and remember – do all the things I probably wouldn’t do,” Hinata said with a
giggle and she took great pleasure seeing her friend turn tomato for once.
“HINATA!!”
Tenten hissed.
“Got ya!! Take care and thank you for having me over,”
Hinata said and hugged her friend.
“I’m glad
to have you here any time. And tell that Sasuke of yours that he better behave
or else...”
Hinata
giggled and nodded.
And with
that Hinata and Akamaru was on their way back home to their apartment. To Sasuke
that most likely was waiting for them.
*****
And Sasuke
had been waiting. He had returned back to the apartment right after he had
delivered the bag of dog food to Tenten. He couldn’t help but feel thankful for
the woman whom seemed to have a love for all kinds of daggers. Hinata had
promised that she would come home today so after that little morning escapade
he had returned to their “lair” and waited for his precious little white eyed
woman to come home.
And when he
heard the lock being unlocked he smiled but put up a cool facade. But his
immortal heart was racing. His Hinata was coming home.
He hurried
over to the hall and once she had gotten inside, let Akamaru free from the
leash so the dog could run free, he grabbed her hands and pulled her close.
“W-what are
you doing?” Hinata stuttered and felt her cheeks heat up at the closeness to
the demon.
“Please...
promise me that you’ll never do this to me again,” Sasuke whispered into her
ear as he embraced her completely within his arms and wings.
“D-do what?”
“Leave me
like this... it hurt so fucking much,” he growled as he breathed in the scent
of her hair. Gods, it felt so good to have her close like this.
“Eehh?” Hinata didn’t know what do say.
Sasuke
moved away, just slightly and then he cupped her cheeks and gently forced her
to look up into his eyes.
“I never
want to be separated from you ever again,” he said and lowered his face and
placed a gentle kiss on her lips.
A kiss that grew in passion.
Sasuke
couldn’t believe it when he felt Hinata’s arms wove around his waist, hands
that gently caressed the joint section of his wings and back. She opened up to
him like a flower to the sunlight.
