Pivotal (Sasuke and Hinata)

Journey

Sasuke and the others already left the house a week ago. They have to do this so that the house will not be found by the Akatsuki. The house is the only place they treasure the most. Somehow it became a family house. They were heading somewhere but each of them didn't know where. All they know is they have to escape from the Akatsuki.

"Sasuke, I think we should rest for now," said Karin as she stopped on one of the tree branch.

Sasuke stopped and gave a nod. Juugo and Suigetsu were already on the ground, grasping for air. Karin knew that they didn't have a proper rest after they leave the house, but Sasuke, he want to keep moving.

"Ahhh... I'm so tired," said Suigetsu as he lay down on the ground.

"I'll search for food, so you guys just rest up," said Juugo.

Everyone said okay and they continued to rest. Karin went near to Sasuke and sat in front of him.

"Sasuke, I notice that you looked restless these days. Are you okay?" asked Karin.

He didn't say anything. Karin surely looked annoyed with his attitude.

Suigetsu, who notice that said, "Sasuke! Karin is trying to have a conversation with you. She is not talking to the tree. At least answer her."

"What is your problem?" asked Sasuke to Suigetsu.

"My problem?! Hello, it's you who had problem with your attitude. You are not the only one who face this situation. Could you just use a little bit of your mind to think about us? We are in this together. So stop with your selfish ways," Suigetsu raise his voice.

"If you're fed up with all of this, then just go! I didn't ask you to stay. You're free to go," said Sasuke as he got up and stared at Suigetsu.

"Well, thank you for your offer! I gratefully accept it!" said Suigetsu sarcastically.

Suigetsu got up and went to the opposite way. Karin keep calling for him but he didn't care anymore. One thing for sure he don't want to be with Sasuke any longer.

"What have you done?! You know how Suigetsu is. Why must you guys fight at the times like this?" said Karin as she hold her head.

"Let him do what he want. I don't damn care anymore," said Sasuke.

Karin let out a sigh. It has been past an hour after Juugo left but he didn't return yet. He usually quick with his work so he should be done already. Suddenly, Sasuke got up and ready to move.

"Wait, Sasuke. Juugo isn't here yet. We should at least wait for him," said Karin.

"So, you want me to waste my time waiting for him?" asked Sasuke sarcastically.

"Waiting a bit doesn't hurt, right?" said Karin.

"Well, you do that. I'm still going to move," said Sasuke as he left Karin alone.

"Sasuke, wait!" screamed Karin as she saw Sasuke vanished from her sight.

"Ahhhhh!! Why is this happening?! Where is that stupid Juugo?!" said Karin as she moved to looked for Juugo.

Sasuke kept moving forward without thinking about the others. All he care was to find Itachi. He thought that if he find Itachi, the Akatsuki will stop messing with him. He continued skipping from tree to tree until he felt something. He stopped and observed around him. Then he noticed three figure were surrounding him. 

"They were definitely not Karin and the other two," thought Sasuke.

Worst timing ever, the three figure were the Akatsuki member. One of them suddenly attacked Sasuke and he barely escape it. There was no other option for him except fight off. 

Sasuke had battle with the three of them and he knew that he can't keep up. He was already badly injured and the Akatsuki members were also injured here and there. He must escape or less he will die. 

He doesn't have enough chakra left and one thing that he can do was summoning. But one thing stopping him was that he's afraid of wrong summoning, Hinata might show up. But he don't have enough time to worry. He gave his last amount of chakra to summon Aoda.

Luck was on his side, Aoda appeared. He order Aoda to attack the Akatsuki and try to escape from them. Aoda obeyed and they barely got away from the Akatsuki. Aoda brought Sasuke to a place and dropped him safely. 

"Sasuke-sama, you don't have any chakra left inside you. I must go now," said Aoda.

Sasuke nodded and he release Aoda. Then he flopped to the ground, unable to move a muscle. "What a bad day...," he uttered those words before he completely lose his consciousness.
