Pivotal (Sasuke and Hinata)

Deal

Sasuke looked at Hinata. She was begging him desperately. He closed his eyes and said "I really hate being indebted to anyone. So, I'll pay it back later".

Hinata heard that and said, "So, you will help me get stronger?"

"No. Just because you save me doesn't mean that I'll do what you want," said Sasuke. Then he got up and wanted to walk away.

"Wait, Sasuke!" Hinata also got up with an angry expression."I almost drained my own chakra just to save you! Could you just at least say 'Sorry' or maybe 'Thank you"?! Is it that hard?!" Hinata was shouting at him

"I never beg you to save me! So why should I do that?! You're the one who wanted to save me," yelled Sasuke towards Hinata.

"Of course I want to save you! Even if I have to sacrifice myself, I'll do it", said Hinata as she drops her voice tone.

"Why? Start from the beginning, I never understand why are you willing to do all that. Even if I got hurt, I can manage it myself. There is no need for you to heal me," said Sasuke.

"I'll never run from my responsibility," said Hinata.

"That is not your responsibility, to begin with. It's Neko-chi. He's dead, so you don't have to voluntarily replace him," said Sasuke.

"Do you think I only replacing him? Sasuke, I carried Neko-chi's power and memories. So IT is my responsibility now," said Hinata.

"Just forget about it," said Sasuke as he walked away.

"FORGET?!" shouted Hinata. "How can I forget the will of your MOTHER?!"

Sasuke stopped, turned to Hinata and said, "Why are you mentioning my mother in this situation?!"

"Uhmm..ah...," Hinata stuttered. "Your mother, once before she died, asked Neko-chi to take care of you and make sure that you become a better person. Try to think how Neko-chi felt when he died seeing you like this!" said Hinata.

"I won't be a better person. This is who I am now," said Sasuke.

"No. I believe that you can change, Sasuke. You just have to come back to the village," said Hinata.

There was a sudden change on Sasuke's face. "Huh, you're just like Naruto and Sakura. STOP FORCING ME TO GO BACK TO THAT DAMN VILLAGE!" said Sasuke.

"You don't understand Sasu-," an unexpected disruption cut off Hinata's words.

"Hinata, is that you?" shouted Ino as she's searching for Hinata. "Where are you?"

 Sasuke jumped onto a high tree branch and wanted to escape.

"We're not finished yet, Sasuke," said Hinata, lowering her voice.

"Then let's make a deal. Tomorrow, I'll summon you," said Sasuke then he vanished in thin air.

"Hinata, there you're. What are you doing in this forest?" asked Ino as she found Hinata.

"N-Nothing. Why do you ask that?" said Hinata, tried to cover up.

"It just that you look exhausted," said Ino.

Hinata just gave her an awkward smile and said, "Let's go back to the village"
