A monster within

14

"ARGHAAAAAAAAA" sasuke screamed at the top of his lungs and pushed his body suddenly up as he heaved.
Hinata ran to him and placed her hands on his cheeks.
She tilted his head slightly to the side so he can look at her.
"Sasuke...look at me honey...breath, you are safe..breath" she said as she cupped his cheeks and stroke his hair.
"Sasuke my child" Mikoto said panicking as she saw her son in terror.
Sasuke glared at his mother as she approached him.
"OUT GET OUT" he growled at her.
"S..sasuke?" Mikoto said puzzled.
"Sa..sasuke honey, your mother is worried about you..." hinata said.
Sasuke smacked the night stand with his hands.
"OUT I DONT WANT TO SEE ANYONE OUT" he growled and heaved, then suddenly held his chest and heaved in pain.
"Mikoto san...gomenne..." hinata said.
Mikoto just nodded sorrowfully then she turned and left.
Hinata was following her when he called her.
"Hinata..." he said.
Hinata stopped.
"Stay..." he said in low tone.
"Hai" hinata nodded and closed the door.
She went to the table and brought sasuke a glass of blood.
She went over and helped him sip from the cup.
Sasuke drank some then he pushed the cup away.
Hinata put it back on the nightstand.
She supported sasuke's body slowly to the bed post.
"Sasuke kun...let me tend your wounds" she said.
He nodded slowly.
Hinata helped him to take of his shirt.
He was still so frail, his bones were pinning his skin.
She took off the bandages and slowly brushed across the cuts.
She applied antiseptics, sasuke yelped, hinata slowly patted his back and his hair.
"Shh...sasuke kun...it'll be alright" she murmured into his ears.
Sasuke felt comfortable.
He nodded.
Hinata tended his wounds.
"Sasuke kun...do you want to shower?" She asked.
Sasuke looked at her then he felt himself sticky.
He nodded slowly.
"Can you stand, or shall i wash you around here" she asked.
"I..can stand" he said.
"Okay...come" she said as she held his body up slowly.
Sasuke walked into the bathroom.
She placed him inside the bathtub.
She took off his pants and boxers and opened the warm water to damp a piece of cloth.
Hinata started to wash him slowly, and gently.
After she finished, hinata dried him off again, then took him back to bed.
Hinata fixed sasuke into bed, and covered him with sheets, she turned to leave when sasuke held her wrists.
"H..hinata?" He said.
"Hai?" She asked.
"Can...can you...help me sleep?" He asked.
She smiled.
She leaned on and kissed his forehead.
She turned and leaned by his side, she took sasuke into her embrace and started singing lullaby.
Soon sasuke slept like a toddler.
Hinata tried to wiggle so she can get to the bathroom when sasuke groaned a refusal sound.
Hinata stayed like that the whole night.

The next day, hinata woke up earlier.
She decided to shower before sasuke and eat.
As she headed to the shower, she saw Mikoto sitting.
"Mikoto san...g..gomennesai...sasuke isn't himself..." hinata bowed and apologized when Mikoto placed her hands on her shoulder.
"Hinata...i am the one who should be apologizing..." he said.
Hinata's eyes widened.
"I...i know sasuke hates me now...i am the reason he gone through all of this...i pushed him to engage sakura...and i wanted to get rid of you multiple times..." Mikoto said with a remorseful sound.
Hinata's eyes widened as she saw Mikoto's eyes tearing.
"Mi..mikoto san...oniigaii...sasuke doesn't hate you...he is just...tormented..." hinata looked down.
"And it's definitely not your fault...i..if i were you, i'd hate humans too...like i hated those who killed my family...but...i still do love vampire san..." hinata smiled.
"He protected me, and pampered me...he brought all i loved...i know i am human...but i am sure not all humans are bad just like not all vampires are..." hinata said.
"I just want him to forgive me" mikoto cried.
"He will Mikoto san...he will..." hinata smiled at her.
Both hugged.
Mikoto was never happy, and guilty in her life.
"Excuse me..i have to shower" she said.
Mikoto nodded and left her.

"Hinataaaa...HINATAAAA..." sasuke kept screaming and yelling hinata's name when he woke up to find her not here.
Like a little toddler separated from his mother.
Sasuke kept shivering and calling her name.
The door opened and sasuke turned and said excitedly.
"Hinata..." then soon his eyes died and his smile faded when he saw his mother.
Mikoto entered the room.
"Sasuke..my child" she said.
"Hinata is..no.." Mikoto couldn't continue as sasuke interrupted her.
"What are you doing here...get out" he snorted.
"Sasuke honey..i just want you to speak with me..." mikoto said.
"Get out!!!" Sasuke snorted again.
"Sasuke dear...its not going to help...we have to speak..at least about what h..happened to you" mikoto said.
"What HAPPENED TO ME OBVIOUSLY MIKOTO UCHIHA I HAVE BEEN TORTURED!" He growled.
"Sa..sasuke" Mikoto stammered.
"Get me hinata!" He commanded.
"You love her..for real..." mikoto said and looked down, feeling a tint of jealousy.
"At least she is the only person that didn't want anything from me...NOW GET ME HINA..." sasuke growled but he was interrupted as hinata ran into the room.
"Sasuke kun..sasuke kun gomenne gomenne..." she entered and hugged him tightly.
"Nataa...hinata...i thought you...left me..." he sobbed as he buried his head into her chest.
"I won't leave you anymore sasuke...i promised" hinata said as she cupped his cheeks and kissed his forehead.
Mikoto watched hinata and sasuke.
She smiled.
For sure, her son finally found someone whom loved him dearly.
Mikoto turned to leave the love birds.

"We need to find a plan, we need the vampire's realm back" Madara said.
"We just need sasuke to recover" naruto sighed.
"He will shortly" sui said.
"Hinata had inflicted a great injury on sakura" karin said.
"However... we just need to retrieve, haruno's still have their palms into the realm" Hashirama retorted.
"And we need to kill orochimaru, he had always made this war between vampires and humans...he is the one who conspired with humans against vampires and vice versa..." hashirama continued.
"Yes...he is the reason itachi and Fugaku died.." Obito continued.
"We just need to figure a plan" naruto said.
"Yes" jugo retorted.

"I will kill this bitch...i'll make sasuke suffer!" Sakura growled at orochimaru.
"Sakura san...you are hot headed. Just sit down and relax...hyuga hinata would shortly be us...she is a hybrid" orochimaru smirked and chuckled.
