Memories

1

It was a shiny day.
An ordinary day to many people.
Maybe for some wasn't, a bride maybe? A funeral...someone gave birth, but for hinata, it wasn't an ordinary day at all.
She looked at her reflection to the mirror.
Her hair was tied back with a red tie, to a bun.
She wore the long sleeves black dress with white collar.
It was just above the knees, and a black colon.
She wore her black shoes, that he gave it to her.
Her face was flushed, and her eyes were bloodshot red.
It was the memorial day for neji nii san, whom he died.
She goes every week to his grave, to talk to him.
She lost her purpose in life when she lost her nii san.
Her nii san that always protected and stood up for her.
Her nii san that made the world even a better place.
She used to tell him that she wishes to find a husband like him.
Neji was cold and aloof from the outside, but for hinata, he always made an exception.
She headed to the grave yard, with flowers he loved.
Tulips.
She sat down on her knees, and placed the Tulips gently over a stone that held his name.
"Nii san...ohayo..." she smiled with tears.
"The sun is shining as always..nii san..." she sobbed.
"You always loved this weather..you always loved the sun, you always told me i am the sunshine, and you picked up my name..." she hiccuped.
"I..i can't get over it..nii san..." her tears rolled down her face.
"It has been many years, but i just can't...nii san"
"I know you'd tell me to be strong and be happy, but how can i...how can i when you aren't here with me" she wept.
She didn't know that someone was watching and actually heard her whimpers.

Across the stone couples of graves, stood a raven head man.
He was paying the memorials to his deceased brother and father.
It has been years but it seemed like yesterday.
"Aniki" he sighed.
So much words he wanted to say, so much feelings.
Sasuke wasn't a man of words, he can't express whats inside, except with actions.
He wished that someone would open his heart and say all those words he couldn't say.
Until he saw a girl, with indigo hair, standing across from him.
He saw her pale skin that shone with the sunlight.
As if she was shining.
Her hair looked silky, tidy.
Her black dress that perfectly suited her body.
Sasuke saw many girls, but this girl, had a beauty.
Her eyes were down, so he couldn't see them.
But apparently she was crying.
Since he is a military guy, his hearings were sharp.
Thats when he heard her murmurs, and whimpers.
Those words, those words that he perfectly felt.
That he wanted to say each one of them.
How can a person relate to you that much, except they had passed through the same pain.
Sasuke suddenly felt a warm feeling on his cheeks.
He placed his hands over it and he finally felt something wet.
Sasuke looked up, he thought it was raining, but it wasn't.
His eyes were raining.
He kept his gaze on the girl who seemed in turmoil like he were.
Suddenly, she stood up.
And their eyes locked.
Those pale orbs, he kept his demeanor, but his insides weren't.
He was bewildered, yes, her beauty was on another level.
Yes, he saw many girls, many women who'd open their legs for him, and cling to him.
Many who'd shown their beauty and their curves just for the handsome Marshall uchiha to give them a glance.
But she wasn't like them.
A beauty of a princess, a princess that only was told in fairy tales that mothers tell their children about before sleep.
An angelic face.
The pale orbs that he knew, she is a hyuga.
Of course, she must be hiashi's relative.
The grave she stood at, he knew, it was neji's grave.
She must be her, neji's lawful sister that he always heard neji tells about itachi about.
Everyone talked about the hyuga's beauty, but sasuke never saw one.
And now he saw.
And they were right.
But it wasn't only the beauty, but the gentle voice and the emotions she told and said.
She was indeed saying what he wanted to say.
Those words that hit the nerve, that hit the wound he tried so hard to keep it intact but failed.
She felt what he did.
She said what he wanted to.
Hinata gave him a look as she saw him staring at her.
His face was so cold, stoic.
As if he was surprised that he saw a person pouring their heart out and crying.
As if it was something bizarre, not acquainted with.
Hinata wiped her tears and sniffled.
She then turned and went to the grave he was standing at.
She placed a small bouquet in front of itachi's and fugaku's grave and said her prayer.
She turned and left.
Sasuke was watching bewildered.
So it was all along her, whom left those dry flowers that he came and seen each time he paid a visit to his brother's grave.
He was always wondering who would bother to bring flowers to this grave.
His mother already died soon after his father and brother 's loss.
She got bedridden from grieve.
So, he was left with none from the uchiha's.
Sasuke watched as she walked away.
So, that should be his future wife.
He can't deny the fact that, he was somehow thrilled.
Thanks, she is actually a beauty.
As if he cared.
"Tch" sasuke clicked his tongue and walked away.

"Come on sasuke...you got to come with us.." sakura, the pink haired girl whined as she clung to sasuke's arm.
"Yes, sasuke, it has been long time since we gathered, plus, you never join us in any interesting activities sasuke" naruto, his blond best friend said.
"Yeah, and besides, we need to celebrate, sakura's pregnancy." Kakashi, the silver haired guy said.
Sakura and kakashi were married for a year.
Kakashi, naruto and sakura were sasuke's friends since middle school.
After that, kakashi, naruto and sasuke joined the military.
Sakura was in love with kakashi since she was even born, as kakashi was her neighbor.
They were somehow soothed his loneliness, but nothing would console him like his brother and father.
"Fine" sasuke snorted as he closed his eyes.
"Yaaay" sakura clapped her hands.
"I'll invite karin, sui and jugo" she squeaked.
"Huh" sasuke sighed in defeat.

They were walking inside the entertainment park.
Children yelling in the wheel, and the music was playing.
Sasuke hated crowds, his face was grumpy.
He hated people, and he hated going out.
His friends were all shattering and talking, until suddenly, he bumped into a person.
"It...itai itai itai" he heard a soft winces, he looked to the familiar voice.
And thats when he saw her again.
The angel.
But her hair was now spread to her shoulder.
It was waist long hair.
So soft, oh how sasuke loved long hair.
Her pale orbs stared at his black obsidian's.
The pale orbs of the hyuga's.
But hers were different, with the tint of lilac color.
Her scent, that was catching.
Lavender and coconut.
She then squeaked.
"Gomennasaiii gomennasaiii" she bowed and was in a hysterical state.
The ice cream she held stained his white chemise.
Sasuke looked at the stained chemise.
His friends were watching in awe.
Sasuke sighed.
"Its fine" he said monotonous.
"Gomenneasai ojii san" she bowed again.
What is she? Its just a stain.
Sasuke sighed.
"I said its fine" his voice was now stern.
Hinata flinched.
She looked down and held the tears in her eyes.
Today she was overly sensitive.
Sasuke saw how her face flushed and the tears begun to collect in the corner of her eyes.
And for an unknown, unfamiliar feeling.
He felt somehow...sad.
Suddenly, he heard a voice coming from the back.
"Nataaa...nataa" she turned and he saw a brunette approaching.
"K..kiba kun" She stammered.
"Gomenne mr, are you alright" he said
"Hai..." she nodded, the brunette rested his hands on her waist and pushed her to the front.
And another unknown feeling.
A slight rage. Why? He doesn't know.
Maybe because he though that why such beauty is with someone like him.
And to the worst, such beauty is to be wed to him soon.
"Tch" sasuke clicked his tongue.
"Lets go sasuke" naruto dragged him, as he watched his friends expressions slightly change.
Sasuke walked along with naruto and something unexpected happened.
Sasuke turned back and looked at the girl he bumped to.
Naruto noticed with a bewildered expression.
Sasuke never looks back at someone.
