The Heir and The Heiress

Sasuke

Incredible.

The only word that could even come close to accurately describing the woman who still laid sleeping on the small comfortable couch in front of him. Hinata was simply just that, incredible. After Sasuke had safely transported her collapsed form back home, he had placed her down where she still currently laid and had not been able to leave her side. Sitting in the chair across from her, he kept periodically checking and monitoring Hinata's steady breathing. He could read her chakra level, and even though it had been quite low after her demonstration, as the minutes passed by it has been steadily increasing once more.

She seemed to be extremely resilient. The amount of chakra that she had discharged with such force was impressive. The fact that she had already executed that same jutsu multiple times before, he couldn't believe she hadn't lost consciousness sooner. Remembering back to when he had found her unconscious upon his return to the village, he had felt her chakra nearly three miles out from where she was training. At that time, she had lacked any control over her change in chakra nature. Now it was a very different story. Her natural affinity for chakra control had enabled her to technically master this feat already. This was definitely not some simple change to pull off either. Adding a change in nature to an already extremely powerful jutsu like the Hyuga Clan's rotation would most definitely be challenging. Similar to his own Chidori or Naruto's rasengan. With a powerful jutsu that also involves a change in chakra nature also comes with a great risk to the user. Such as him over using his lightning style or Naruto's wind style rasengan. Even a great ninja like that blonde idiot has their own limitations. This new jutsu of Hinata's was extremely powerful and would definitely be useful in the field. But he hated the thought of her leaving herself vulnerable afterwards.

"Sasuke?" Hinata's soft voice broke through his thoughts and had him kneeling beside her before he was even aware of moving. He forced himself to move back a little as she sat up and met his stare.

"How long was I out?" Her voice was all but a whisper as she gave him a sheepish look. Her cheeks turning that lovely shade of pink. He reached out to tuck a loose strand of hair behind her ear.

"Not long." Before he could pull his hand away, she reached up and pressed her cheek into his palm. Her eyes still weren't meeting his.

"You're always having to come to my rescue."

Always. Sasuke thought to himself, but for a much different reason. He would always come to her rescue, but she was not saying that as a compliment to him, but referring to herself needing his help. Using his hand resting against her face, he turned her until her eyes met his once more. Looking into those wide, luminous eyes he wished he was better with words. In this moment he wished he knew the right thing to say to her to make her see just how strong and incredible she was. Except, he definitely wasn't any casanova. All he could tell her was the simple truth as he believed it.

"You are not weak."

As Hinata continued to gaze at him silently, he tried not to cringe at his lack of finesse with words. Before he could muster an apology for even saying anything, Hinata launched herself off the couch and threw her arms around his neck, drawing his lips against hers.

Sasuke's reflexes quickly kicked in as he braced himself to keep from falling over. Recovering from his surprise, he wrapped his arm around her and palmed the back of her head, gently pressing her more firmly against his mouth. As he let himself become momentarily lost in the blissful sensation of Hinata's lips against his own, she held onto him as if she feared some outside force would rip her away any second. Returning her passion with his own, he couldn't help but feel the same in that moment.

The pressure of Hinata's curves flush against his own body resulted in his own body filling with heat and hardening in places that only ever responds to her. Shifting his hips away from her body so that she wouldn't notice his aggravating response pressing against her, she broke their kiss. Looking up at him with glossy eyes, her cheeks flushed and her pink lips all puffy, Sasuke wondered if there could ever be a more beautiful sight. As he continued to just hold her against him, he greedily traced over all her fine features with his eyes.
