Pivotal (Sasuke and Hinata)

Partner

Sasuke helped the unconscious Hinata and laid her on his bed. Then he sat on the floor as he leaned at the edge of the bed. He was thinking how to explain to Hinata on what happened earlier plus will Hinata accepted being the next 'Neko-chi'?

As he kept thinking about it, suddenly Hinata screaming. The shocked Sasuke quickly got up and looked towards Hinata. Then a unique symbol appeared on Hinata right hand. Sasuke went closer to Hinata and sat on the bed. He grabbed Hinata's right hand and activated his Sharingan.

"So Neko-chi's power had already settled inside Hinata's body," said Sasuke outloud.

  Then he noticed that Hinata woke up with tears in her eyes.

"Hinata, a-are you alright?," asked Sasuke as he stood up.

Hinata sat up and said, "Sasuke...," Hinata put her right hand on her left shoulder and continued, "With this symbol, I, Hinata Hyuuga, will be there for you as long as you summon me to heal and treat your wound till you are better."

Her tears kept falling as she finished her sentence. Sasuke was dumbfounded by Hinata's pledge. 

"H-Hinata... you don't have to... This is all my fault, I shouldn't force you to go there," said Sasuke as he dropped his head.

"You know, when I was trapped in the genjutsu, I saw all of Neko-chi's memories. How it protect the family of Uchiha and the loyalty of Neko-chi to the Uchiha clan," said Hinata as she wiped her tears. "Neko-chi really, really love your family and it would do anything to save them," Hinata tried to hold her tears from falling again. 

"But still, you are a ninja from Konoha, the village I once betrayed. I don't want-," suddenly Hinata cut off Sasuke's words.

"Please, let me be. I don't want Neko-chi last effort to go waste. I know it's hard to accept but please, do summon me anytime you need," said Hinata.

"I don't understand. Why are you willing to do this? I'm a bad guy and you certainly know it. Why would you help me?," asked Sasuke. 

"I can't simply put it into words but after seeing Neko-chi's memories, it change me. You are not a bad guy, Sasuke," said Hinata. 

She smiled at him and suddenly Sasuke did a hand sign.

"Release!"

"Sas-"

Pufff... Hinata disapeared within the smoke.
