Death in Vain [DISCONTINUED]

Chapter 7: Solo

Sasuke's POV

I was still on the void of slumber while the air was just filled with lavender and mint scent combined together. The raindrops outside didn't dare to stop as coldness crept on every corner.

"O-Okka-san? "

Soon crying.... Crying was all that I can here while being pulled in by tiredness. I ignored the sound and dozed off while hugging the heiress besides me.

The crying doesn't seem to stop as I found oit that the sound was closer than expected, it might be beside me though.  As I opened my eyes, all I could see was a shivering Hinata, panting heavily while sweating hard.

I tilted her body to face me as she did what she was told. I saw her crying... Tears forming on her eyes rapidly as she continuously breathed for air.

Suddenly I felt tears running down my cheeks as I started to cry to. I don't know why but whenever she's sad I'm sad and whenever she's happy, I'm happy... But whenever she feel that her heart is beating for someone I get jealous instantly.

I can't recall what happened why I'm acting like this. I just feel like we have a connection as if our emotions are always attached to each other. I just can't think straight from the day I met her.

I hugged her tight, burying my face on her neck while sobbing. This world is too cruel for her and it seems like she's strong enough to face them yet so fragile to defend herself from the outside world.

"Why? W-why are y-you crying?" she asked as I wiped my tears.

"Look who's talking? I wasn't crying like how you just weep around, doing nothing. " I defended as she doesn't seem to reply. I'm worried about what will happen after I finished training her.

I looked out at the window as I saw the sun rising while I felt a hand removing my grip from the heiress. She stood up and walked to the balcony, watching over the yellow dandelion sunrise over the horizon.

I followed her and watched the orb rise, all I could think about the sun is that dobe's spiky hair and cerulean-blue eyes. Tsk... Maybe that's why she went out.

"U-Uchiha-san... D-do you like th-the sunrise? " She asked out if curiosity. I looked at her as she looked back at me smiling. I bet she's thinking about that dobe right now.

"I prefer the full moon better. " I replied in monotone.

"I like the sunrise since I always feel it smiling at me. I love for this view reminds me of----"

"Naruto? " I finished her sentence. She didn't even stutter when we talk about him. "I hate the sunrise since I degrade his bright yellow hair, I hate it cause I hate the cerulean-blue sky... I hate the smile of the sunrise because it only destroys the hope of someone I hold dear. " I spoke, sincerely while looking at her.

"Uchiha-san... You shouldn't hate the sun just like that... It's really beautiful you see----"

"I hate the sun because it takes the breath away of the girl I like. I hate the sun cause it destroys my soul and heart. I hate the sun because among all the girls that wants to be with me, I only have eyes for one person and that person has her eyes only for that dobe. " I blurted.

She kept quiet for awhile but then she destroyed the uncomfortable silence.

"U-ummm... Why do y-you like the f-full moon? " She asked.

"That heavenly body symbolizes the pale-lavender orbs of the only person I have left. That moon always illuminate the midnight-violet hair of the girl I hold dear. That moon's darkness symbolizes the tears she forever would shed, the pale orbs symbolizes her sympathy and disgrace to her family... But I want to be the star that makes her happy, to guide her and light her way, to stop her tears from falling... To protect her when everything would fall down. To be there to follow her everywhere till my last breath. To be there until she'd find the one she loves. To endure the pain when she marries the man she loves rather than me. To never love someone except her. To be loyal of my feelings for her. That's why I love the moon... Better than I appreciate myself. " I said, looked at her and smiled. She seems to like my reason as she smiled back.
