Pivotal (Sasuke and Hinata)

Stay

Hinata told everything to Sasuke about what happened to Hanabi. She kept wiping her tears as she told him. She felt like she's the most miserable girl in the world and she wanted to run away forever.

"You know what, Hinata..." Sasuke finally speak up. "...it's not your fault."

"It IS my fault. Did you really listen to me earlier?" asked Hinata.

"It because I listen to everything earlier, I know what I'm saying," said Sasuke.

Hinata turned her face away.

"You should go back," said Sasuke.

"I don't want to," said Hinata.

"Hinata, remember why you want to be stronger. You said that you wanted to prove to your father that you're capable, right? So show that to him," said Sasuke.

"Instead of showing him that, I hurt my little sister. I... I don't want to hurt anyone. I just want my father to be proud of me. And why is that so hard?" said Hinata as she hugged her legs.

"Hinata, go back," said Sasuke.

"Why are you telling me to go back?! You don't want me to stay here longer, do you," Hinata suddenly rising her voice up.

"You have a family. You have a home to go back to. Even if you had quarrel with them, they are still your family. They'll forgive you. If this is how you settle thing, you will never get stronger," said Sasuke as he got up and walked away.

Hinata didn't say a word and stared at Sasuke's back. She realized that Sasuke just want her to cherish her family. She thought long about that.

After a few hour thinking, she got up and run towards the house. She slammed the door open and saw Sasuke staring at a book.

"Sasuke, send me back. I'm sorry about earlier, but now, I know what to do. You're right, if I keep running away from every problem that I face, I will never get stronger. So now, I'll faced it no matter how hard it is," said Hinata.

"Well, that took you long enough to realize that," said Sasuke.

Sasuke do some hand signs and before he could release her, Hinata asked something during the last-minute, "By the way, Sasuke, why did you summon me in the middle of the night?"

Sasuke didn't have enough time to say anything as Hinata was already gone.

"Well, well... why did you summon her in the middle of the night?" said Suigetsu, who came out from the kitchen. "Ohhh... don't tell me you 'miss' her. HAHAHA.. Dude, you already see her in the morning and now you want to see her at night too?? Why don't you just asked her to stay here," said Suigetsu.

"Just shut your filthy mouth, Suigetsu," said Sasuke without denying it.
