Sasuke
Present…
Standing beside the sign in desk at the front of the Konoha Hospital, Sasuke ignored the glances and whispers going on around him, but subconsciously pulled the body of the woman tucked into arm closer to his chest as if to hide her from the curious glances. He was starting to feel bad about putting his stained aura so closely to hers. He hoped he wasn’t going to make any trouble for her, but his curiosity was getting the best of him. After entering the hospital he had immediately asked for Sakura and refused to hand the unknown woman over to anyone else until she arrived. Sasuke had questions about what exactly happened in the forest and he wasn’t sure he was sure he could trust Sakura to help answer them. After all, word travels fast, and Sakura has been named one of the greatest medic ninja of her time. She may possibly soon surpass her mentor, Lady Fourth. Who else could he put his trust in, if not Sakura. She was his former team member of team seven as well.
As he waited he couldn’t help but notice the subtle pleasing scent that was reaching his nose after he had pulled the unconscious woman closer to him. It was coming from her hair. Tilting his chin down, he couldn’t stop himself from breathing deeply through his nose, which was now just centimeters from the sleek indigo hair pressed against his chest. It smelled like freshly clean linen hanging in a field of lilacs as a warm spring breeze dried them. An old image of his mother flashed across his mind as he realized her scent reminded him very much of how she used to smell. She smelled like home.
“Sasuke?..” a familiar haughty voice snapped him out of his daydreaming and he opened his dark eyes to see Sakura standing in front of him, hands on her hips, and a seriously confused look on her flushed face. He took his old teammates appearance in with his keen eyes in only a few seconds. Sakura’s pink hair was pulled back in a messy ponytail as if she tied it up in a hurry, but he could tell that it had grown out quite a bit since he last saw her. Her face was slightly pink in areas like she had been rubbing it and her cheeks flushed like she had ran a great distance, even though her breathing was not labored. Quickly scanning over her body he could tell that she was very thin, even more so than three years ago. Too thin, he thought to himself before he pushed it out of his mind. It wasn’t like it was any of his business. He just hoped she wasn’t getting ill. Sakura was one to always have looked completely put together at all times, but it was probably just the stress of the approaching wedding that had her like this. He barely paid any attention to the nervous blonde nurse he had talked to blunty before, who was currently giving him pointed looks from behind the pink haired woman’s back.
“What are you doing here? I…, We didn’t expect you back in the village so soon.” sakura’s clear agitation, laced with curiosity, came through while she spit out question after question at him. Only pausing to finally focus on the form of the woman he was half hiding under his black traveling cloak pressed securely against his chest.
“And who is that?” Sasuke answered once Sakura’s line of questioning was halted.
“I was hoping that you could tell me.” Shifting a little so that his cloak slipped away from the unconscious woman’s face, he saw a flash of recognition in Sakura’s green eyes.
“Hinata?” she rushed the short couple of feet between them to better look at who he was holding. “What happened? Did you do something to her? Does she have any serious injuries?” Not waiting for Sasuke to answer any of her multitude of questions, she told him to follow her to an exam room so she could better see what condition Hinata was in.
As he followed his former teammate, soon to be wife of his best friend, the name of the woman in his arm bounced around his head. It sounded so familiar, but he just couldn’t for the life of him recall where he had heard her name before. Following Sakura through an exam room door he complied when she commanded him to lay his mystery woman on the white linen bed. He couldn’t help but wrinkle his nose momentarily as the smell of alcohol and antiseptic replaced her clean floral scent as he stepped aside to let Sakura better exam her. Glancing over her shoulder at him, before Sakura returned her attention to her patient, she told him to tell her exactly what had happened. Sasuke did.
A couple hours later, Sasuke found himself sitting beside the woman named Hinata’s hospital bed. After telling Sakura everything that he knew, she finished her assessment of her patient and astonishing to both of them, Hinata had no injuries whatsoever. Her chakra level was extremely low, but she was expected to make a full recovery as soon as it replenishes itself. Glad that he would get a chance to talk with this mystery woman about what she was doing out in the woods that lead to her massive outburst of chakra that left her in this condition. From the few questions he had Sakura answer for him, he leaned that Hinata actually was in their class at the academy, was part of team eight lead by Kurenai Yuhi, and most importantly to him, she was a daughter of Hiashi Hyuga, the leader if the main branch family of the respected Hyuga clan. This means she poses the Byakugan, a visual Kekkei Genkai similar to what Sasuke himself possesses. It was very odd that this Hinata Hyuga would have been allowed to go to the academy and become a working ninja of the leaf since the Hyuga clan, especially those of the main branch family, have tried to keep the workings of their Kekkei Genkai as much of a secret as they can. And to allow the daughter of Hiashi train to become a field ninja, and not work for her clan was especially odd. Very few who possess the Byakugan have been allowed to obtain positions that allow them to travel very far outside of the village, in hopes that the clan can better protect their precious bloodline trait from falling into the hands of outsiders. Sasuke wondered how someone with as pure a bloodline as this Hinata would be allowed to pursue the path of a village kunoichi and not be required to serve her clan. The Byakugan she possess is a very valuable thing.
Where Sasuke’s sharingan allows him to see, track, and copy jutsu at rapid speeds, as well as gives him the ability to perform extreme forms of genjutsu, the Byakugan user possess different abilities. It gives the user a near three hundred and sixty degree diameter field of vision and is able to magnify there vision up to a cellular level on its targets or view them clearly from great distances. Among many other skills a Byakugan user can train to use, similar to the sharingan, the Byakugan can see chakra to a much higher degree. Using a fighting method called the Gentle Fist, the user can easily gain complete control over the opponent's chakra system. Even though Sasuke had not seen a Byakugan user fight up close himself, he has studied about all the known powerful Kekkei Genkai in great detail during his time with Orochimaru.
Sasuke just couldn’t understand why this Hinata did not stand out in his childhood memories. As a fellow Kekkei Genkai poseser, he would’ve expected her to have made any sort of mark on his memories during his time spent at the academy. Since Sasuke always thrived to be the strongest, he made sure to keep a close eye on any possible competition. Any Byakugan user would’ve been considered competition to him, but the only person who had the Byakugan and was close to his age at the time would’ve been Neji Hyuga, in the class above him.The last he had heard about the Hyuga prodigy from the lesser branch family was that he gave his life protecting Naruto on the front lines during the last war.
This thought made Sasuke cringe internally. He should’ve been there to protect Naruto himself sooner. How many lives could he have helped save if he had been there to fight alongside his peers? Closing his eyes he leaned back in here chair and sent a silent thanks to the Hyuga man. “Thank you for being there for Naruto when I was not...Neji.”
“Sasuke…?” Opening his eyes, he saw a pair of jade ones eyeing him warily. “You don’t have to stay. You’ve given me all the information you had on the situation. And Hinata will make a full recovery, I’m sure of it. You can go.” The pink haired doctor was fidgeting with her hands while doing everything she could to avoid making eye contact. Being alone in this small room with him was finally getting to her now that her work adrenaline has subsided. It was clear that she no longer wanted him here, and he didn’t blame her. Not wanting to cause Sakura anymore unnecessary discomfort, Sasuke nodded as he stood up and reached for the door handle.
Pausing as he opened the door, he gave Sakura a quick glance. He looked at her slightly disheveled pony tail and her opened top button of her dress. Meeting her curious stare he requested one thing before he left.
“Let me know when she comes too.”
Sakura nodded quickly, and looked back over at the steadily breathing indigo haired woman. By the time she would look back at the door he would be gone.
