For Him (Sasuke x Hinata fanfiction)

FOR HIM:Part 1

Eri-chan: I own nothing even this story. I just love the story so i post it and all the credits should go to Zelga Lim Li-san.

-------------------------------------------------------------------

I only knew him by his name.

From the academy, as one of the most brilliant boys in school. 

Naruto's team mate. His best friend. 

Sakura's first love. Or so she thought. 

Team 7 prodigy. 

Uchiha Sasuke. 

But since that faithful day, when he learned of Konoha's hidden secret, the council's verdict about his clan. His brothers so called 'betrayal'. 

He decided to accept the mission that Tsunade has proposed. 

It will make him understand. To finally learn the truth about his family. 

He changed drastically. He still has that far- away look in his eyes. Before, his eye was empty. Now, it was emptier. More hollow. It was painful to look through his eyes. Even from afar, I could feel his pain. 

Why am I saying these things? I really don't know. It's like we're the same in some ways, different than the most. 

Lady Tsunade accidentally found out about this connection and she decided to use me. 

It was a day I would never forget. 

The day I receive my most important mission. Kurenai did not know it yet and I wonder if the Hokage would tell her. 

Lady Tsunade decided that someone must be entrusted with Sasuke's 'plan' to join Orochimaru. 

A very dangerousto infiltrate his lair and gain the Snake's trust and to retrieve all the information he took from Konoha. Using Orochimaru's obsession about Sasuke, the young shinobi knew he is only one who could do this mission. 

Only him. 

I was about to say my opinion regarding the matter but Sasuke shook his head and smiled at me. 

It was a first. 

He never really smiles. 

Naturally, I blushed and stuttered my apologies. He touched my head and rubbed my hair, messing with it like I was a little girl. 

"You worry too much Hinata. Let me handle this." He said fondly using my first name without any formalities.

Another firsts. 

I was the only one who knows the truth about his abrupt departure. The only one he said goodbye to. I know that if Sakura learns of this, she would be more devastated. 

However she managed to catch up with him. 

Even though he knew that his brother would sacrifice everything to protect Konoha, he couldn't stop himself for hating the village. 

His dwindling loyalty to the people who used his beloved brother. One of the reasons why his 'betrayal' becomes very convincing. 

Even to Naruto. Even to Sakura and Kakashi-sensei. 

After the failed retrieval mission of Shikamaru's team in an attempt to bring Sasuke back, his name becomes taboo among the remaining Rookie 9. No news whatsoever. 

And that was the last time I've heard anything from him.
