Thank you all for the reviews. They do so warm my little
author-heart I tell ya :)

******* 6 ******
Sasuke had never been asked so many
questions in his mortal life, and definitive not while being an incubus. But
Hinata just poured out questions about just about everything.

�Have you always been a demon?�

�No, I was born human.�

�How did you become a demon?�

�I angered the gods and they cursed me.�

�How did you anger them?�

�I became to arrogant, I thought I was
better than everybody else.�

�How long are you supposed to be in this
state?�

Now Sasuke became silent and went to
wash up their tea-cups.

�Sasuke?�

�Forever,� came the choked reply from
Sasuke.

Hinata felt her heart constrict at the
answer. So much pain he carried within him�

�So you can never�?�

�No, never.� He had accepted his fate
long ago. Even if Hinata could see him she most likely wouldn�t be able to be
pregnant with his child so thus� Sasuke was stuck like this � forever.

�Oh� I�m sorry Sasuke,� she said as she
looked down on her twitching hands.

�Don�t worry about it Hinata, it�s not
your fault.�

Silence again.

�So� what�s the deal about the demons in
your past? Want to tell me about them?� Sasuke asked after awhile, wanting to
break the thickness in the air.

Hinata let out a nervous laugh before
looking up at the incubus.

�Well, those�. I don�t know.�

�I will not judge you.�

Hinata blinked at that.

�Uhm� want to sit in the living room?�
Hinata asked as she got up. She saw him nod and she waited for him to go first.
She was still not entirely sure about him. She could see him move his wings a
bit as he walked in front of her and she wanted to touch those �bat�-wings of
his. Black were they, black as the darkest night. Sinfully dark. They drew her
closer to him.

Suddenly she had reached out to touch
them.

Sasuke stopped dead in his track when he
felt warm fingers gently graze over his left wing. They moved over the skin clad
bones up to the top and towards where they had fused with his body.

�They hurt when cramped up in a bathrobe
huh?� she asked as she removed her fingers.

�Yeah�� Sasuke breathed.

�You can fly then?�

�Yes, I can fly.�

�Can you take me with me?�

�Huh?�

�Can you carry me with you if you fly?�
Hinata repeated.

Now it was Sasuke�s turn to blink.

�I� I don�t know.�

Hinata formed a silent oh as she saw him
sit down on her couch while she found a place on the other end of it. She put up
her feet and rested her chin against her knees.

�Hinata� tell me about your demons?�
Sasuke asked.

Sasuke saw her close her eyes and
moments later the dog, Akamaru came to her side, sitting down just next to her.
Her right arm came down and she petted him as she moved back in time.

Shadows, always in the shadows.
Moving about, groaning, complaining about unfair deaths. They sensed that she
could hear them, see them so they came to her. Wanting her to help them. But she
was only five years old, what could she do?

She asked her father for help many
times. Wanted him to help her to help Them. But her father thought she was sick
so he placed her inside an asylum. But they came to her even if she was locked
up. Always asking her to help them.

Oh she tried, she really did. She
tried to help them but what could she do? She was locked up in a madhouse! She
tried to talk to them; she tried to soothe their pain with just talking
to them, acknowledging their presence.

But when the staff heard her talk to
�herself� they gave her stronger medicine. Doctors said to her that it was all
in her head. That the voices and moving figures in her shadows was just things
that her head made up. She was sick in the head and thus she had to take the
medicines they prescribed for her.

Years in a haze went by until the day
when a doctor finally said that she was healthy again. That she was able to live
a somewhat normal life.

So her father had gotten her this
apartment along with dog that now followed her everywhere. But he had also said
that the moment she showed a weakness again she was going back to that
place.

�Hinata!?�

Sasuke could see her eyes moisten up and
he grew concerned.

�HINATA!!� He practically yelled.

She blinked.

�W-what?�

�Sorry, you just looked spaced out,�
Sasuke said as he leaned forward and grasped her hand.

�Oh� s-sorry.�

�Don�t worry about it.�

�Uhm� y-you think I�m c-crazy too�
right?�

�No��

Hinata looked up and right into his
swirling red eyes.

�I think you�re blessed Hinata� you�re
blessed with a gift that very few people have.� Sasuke said and it was the
truth.

�W-what?�

�Yes� those were not demons Hinata.
Those were spirits.�

�S-spirits?�

�Yes� and they knew you could see them,
hear them so that was why they haunted you.� Yes, Sasuke was very sure of this.
He had seen spirits too during his travels over the world as an incubus. They
were not imaginative as many thought them to be. And Hinata, she was sensitive
enough to both see and hear them. And at an early age too. No wonder her father
had thought she was crazy.

�Spirits?�

�Yes, Hinata� spirits� ghosts� call them
what you will� but I do believe that you really saw them and heard them.�

A blink of a second later he had his
arms filled with a sobbing young woman. She cried. Oh she cried so hard as she
grasped the sheet he had managed to wrap around himself as a toga.

�Ehh� uhm� Hinata?�

�Y-you�re the first��

The voice was so low that he had to
strain his ears to hear her.

�T-the first that ever b-believed me��

Sasuke smiled softly as he put his arms
around her shivering shoulders and along with that he used his wings to fold
around her as well, really closing her off from the real world.

They sat like that for at least half an
hour before Hinata pulled away, blushing in her ordinary manner.

�S-sorry about that,� she mumbled and
tried to smile.

�I said I would be around and if I�m
going to be your crying wall so be it. I don�t mind,� Sasuke said and let one
hand reach up and brush away a stray tear from her eye.

Hinata tried to give him a smile but
ended up crying some more, making Sasuke laugh softly as he folded his arms and
wings around her once again.

Yeah, he could live with this.
