Hinata couldn't believe in her eyes.

Uchiha Sasuke – a traitor and S-ranked criminal was standing right there in front of her. He didn't look so well though. His skin was pale and there were dark circles under his eyes. His dark hair stuck to his forehead which was covered with sweat. He was panting heavily and every breath he took was making his shoulders tremble slightly. His eyes were bright red and they're staring straight at her and it'd be a lie if she said they didn't scare her at all. In fact, she was frozen to the spot.

In a brief moment, she wondered why he was looking at her like that. She had never interacted with him before and she even doubted he knew of her existence. However, by the look in his eyes, she knew not only did he know her, but he also was pissed off by her, which she might understand why. It's probably because he thought she was going to tell Naruto and Konoha would form a unit to hunt him down. And maybe he was right. She really would tell Naruto about this encounter, because she knew how desperately he wanted his friend back.

After the war, Sasuke just… disappeared. Tsunade had sent lots of units to find him, but they never got any success. It was like he had vaporized into thin air. So seeing him now, right here, was too astonishing that she thought she might be dreaming.

Team 8 was having a mission and they decided to set up a camp for the night. It was Hinata's turn to watch when she felt a sign of chakra somewhere in the forest. Because the chakra signal was weak, she thought it wouldn't be a big threat, and also because she didn't want to disturb her teammates' sleep, she went to check it alone. Of course, she didn't expect it's Sasuke who that chakra signal belonged to.

What if I capture him and bring him back to Konoha? The thought popping up in her mind gave her a shiver. Normally, trying to capture Sasuke would be suicidal, but now he was almost out of chakra. Her Byakugan could confirm that, which meant she had a chance. And if she still couldn't capture him by herself, she could at least keep him here for some time until her teammates arrived and together they could capture him and bring him back to Konoha. That prospect almost brought a smile to her face. Naruto would be happy, he would smile again and he would notice her.

Hinata inwardly scolded herself. Now it's not the time to daydream, she needed to focus on Sasuke. Even if his chakra was low, he was still dangerous and even a small mistake could cost her her life. He must have had a furious fight before he got here and she wondered who could exhaust him that much. Whoever they were, they must be very strong, which brought up a problem. If Sasuke hadn't already killed them, they might be chasing him right now and she certainly wouldn't want to encounter them. Sasuke was in no shape to fight and protect both of them against someone so strong was impossible. And as if that wasn't bad enough, her Byakugan just found another problem. His chakra was decreasing and she couldn't understand why. Right now he wasn't doing any fighting so his chakra should have remained stable, but no, it continued to deplete rapidly and if she didn't do anything to stop it, he would die.

"Come with me." His hoarse voice cut through her train of thoughts.

"W-What…" Her pale widened and it took her a moment to make sure that she had heard him correctly.

"I need you." He sounded very impatient as his chakra depleted more rapidly. She was sure that he meant her to save him, but she didn't know how. She wasn't a medic, she could treat small external injuries, but an injury this serious was out of her ability. Hell, she didn't even know where his injury was. Her Byakugan couldn't detect any injury on his body. He would need Tsunade or Sakura, but both of them weren't here and apparently, he didn't have much time left. At this rate, he would die within 15 minutes, and she couldn't let that happen.

Sasuke suddenly collapsed on his knees. A hand shot up to squeeze his left chest while the other hand was propping on the ground to support his upper body. He was having trouble breathing.

She rushed towards him. All she could do right now was transfer her chakra to him. She wasn't sure if his body would accept that, but she had to try. If she did nothing, he would die, and if she let him die, Naruto would never forgive her.

"C-Calm down." She said in a panic. "I'll transfer my chakra to you…" The moment she was near him, all thoughts that this might be a dream disappeared. This was real. He was going to die. She put a hand on his shoulder to push him lay down, all the while praying that his body would accept her chakra. Suddenly, she realized it's not him that was lying down, but her. "W-What…" Her words died in her throat immediately as he dipped his head and pressed his lips to hers. Too shocked, she could do nothing but stay still, and he took that as an opportunity to deepen the kiss.

She started to struggle against him, but it's all futile. He was straddling her with his legs pressed against her waist and his hands gripped her wrists tightly. He was much stronger than her and she couldn't move an inch. The only thing on her body that wasn't immobile right now was her lips and they were being ravished by Sasuke. He didn't kiss her gently at all. In fact, she was sure her lips would be red and swollen after he was done kissing her, which apparently wouldn't happen anytime soon. She tried to purse her lips to stop him, but when he bit her, she almost screamed in terror which granted him the opening he needed. He licked her lips, sucked at it and bit her one more time before letting his tongue enter her mouth. It was wet as it's looking for hers.

"S-Sto…" She tried to say, but he didn't hear her at all. All he seemed to care about right now was kissing her. She couldn't understand anything at all. He was almost out of chakra, she should have pushed him away easily, but she suddenly couldn't. Now it's her whose chakra was decreasing. And Sasuke, his chakra was back. It's impossible. Chakra couldn't recover that fast.

Sasuke gave a hiss when she bit him, hard. He stopped kissing her, now looking at her with so much fury in his crimson eyes. He was pissed off. His tongue darted out to lick the drop of blood on his lips. "That's not how you bite while kissing." He snarled.

"L-Let m-me g…" She stuttered, her face blushed brightly. This was so embarrassing. This wasn't how her first kiss was supposed to be. He shouldn't have been her first kiss.

"No." Was all his said before he dipped his head to capture her lips in a passionate kiss again. "Bite me again…" He said between kisses. "And I'll make sure you'd regret it."

His kisses were not innocent at all. They were ardent, as if he was hungry for something from her and the more he kissed her, the hungrier he became. His lips never left hers and there was no place in her mouth that his tongue didn't touch. As if to revenge, he bit her bottom lip, almost sent her to a panic attack. The sound of their kissing filled her ears and it gave her a shiver. She wanted to scream or yell at him to stop, to tell him that he was the biggest jerk in the world, but she couldn't. All she could do was panting heavily because he was taking all of her breath away with every one of his kisses.

She vaguely realized that his hands had released her wrists to cradle her face. It was a perfect opportunity to push him away, but she was suddenly too tired that she couldn't even move her arms. She wondered if this was what kissing did to people. If kissing was this exhausting, she would never want to kiss anyone, even if it's Naruto. Despite her mind screaming at her to move, to kick at his abdomen and to slap at his face, her body was immobile. He didn't restrain her, why couldn't she move?

After what felt like an eternity, he finally stopped. However, he was still straddling her and apparently he didn't plan on getting off her any time soon. His lips were red and swollen and she was sure her lips looked just like his. Both of them was panting heavily, mostly because of lacking air.

Her chest was heaving, trying to take in as much air as it could, and he wondered why such a petite girl like her could have chest that big. Her face was red as a tomato and it looked like she could faint at any time, which wasn't far from the truth. He had to admit though, that she looked pretty, fortunately. If she was an old ugly lady, he would rather die than kiss her. And even when he died, he would still turn to ghost to hunt Orochimaru down every night.

Hinata knew that he was evaluating her, but he looked so uncaring and nonchalant that she couldn't tell what he was thinking of her, which only made her boil with anger. How dare he looked so disinterested when he had stolen her first kiss just a moment ago – the very kiss that she had saved her whole life for Naruto.

Now when the kiss had stopped, she finally calmed down enough to think and realize she couldn't move because her chakra was low. She only had ¼ of her chakra left and Sasuke… she couldn't believe it. His chakra had fully recovered. "H-How…" She said in a low voice because she was too tired that even speaking was hurt.

"You're tired?" It didn't sound like a question but a statement. "Apparently, this has an effect on you too." He mused.

Her pale eyes were widened. He acted like they were having an ordinary conversation about the weather and not about him stealing her first kiss. And he was still straddling her! "G-get off m-me…" She yelled, or at least she thought she was yelling at him. Her head was getting dizzy and her vision was blurry. She struggled to keep her eyes open, but her eyelids felt so heavy as if they weighed a thousand pounds. Why was she suddenly so tired? He only kissed her, they didn't do any fighting, and where did her chakra go? The more she tried to think, the more it didn't make any sense to her.

Just as she thought she was going to give up, her ears picked up a rustling sound. Someone was coming. Her teammates were coming and they were going to save her from this jerk who was still straddling her. "Shit!" She heard him curse and before she could give a sigh of relief as he finally got off her, he threw her on his shoulder.

"No! L-Let m-me go!" She started to struggle on his shoulder, her fists were pounding at his back with all the strength she had left, but it's futile. He didn't appear to care at all. He just let her do whatever she wanted, as long as he had her on his shoulder. Her struggle didn't last long though. She only got to punch at his lower back 3 times before she couldn't anymore. She was too exhausted and all she could do right now was stay still and mutter "Let me go" or "You jerk!" a few times.

"Hinata!" Her head rose at her teammate's voice. Kiba was standing right there and Akamaru was growling beside him.

"Kiba-kun…" The relief could be heard in her voice. She couldn't see him clearly due to her blurry vision, but she was sure that voice belonged to her teammate. She had listened to that voice for years and there was no way she could mistake it with someone else's.

"You bastard let her go!" Kiba hissed.

Sasuke turned around to look at Kiba. The three commas in his red eyes were spinning rapidly. His life at this point was bad enough, he didn't need anyone to take away the only person who could keep him alive. Although he could easily kill the Inuzuka boy, he decided not to. For now, he would settle for a quick and safe escape.

He threw the kunai so fast that Kiba almost couldn't avoid it, though apparently, Sasuke didn't intend for it to hit him. The kunai embedded itself at the trunk behind Kiba and exploded just a few seconds later. The smoke created by the explosion certainly would make it impossible for Kiba's sharp nose to track him down. Besides, right after the tag attached to the kunai exploded, he had put Kiba under a genjustu which would dispel by itself a few hours later. He would be far away by that time.

"Don't blame me." He said before disappearing with Hinata who now had passed out due to exhaustion. "Blame Orochimaru."
