7I know the title sucks, but a while back, I wrote a bunch of song fics for different couples under the account Silver-Arrow-Kitsune-Girl (two for Hinata Sasuke called Music to my ears, and one for Sasuke Sakura called Trapped in a song) and I called them the Musical Moments collection. But, stuff happened and I had to abandon the account, and I made this new one. But I was going through my old stuff, and reread Music to my ears, and all the reviews that I got. So I figured that Id write a few more on my Super-Poptart-Ninja account while people wait for the next chap of Dazzle 20 which is still gonna be a while cause I haven't had any time to write it. So to all those Dazzle 20 fans, I apologize, but I hope that this makes up for it a little. So, I hope You enjoy, the first chapter of Music for the Fantasy, and thank u for reading S-P-N.

Song "I'm With You"
Artist Avril Lavigne
I'm Standing on a bridge
I'm waitin in the dark
I thought that you'd be here by now
Theres nothing but the rain
No footsteps on the ground
I'm listening but theres no sound
Eighteen year old Hinata Hyugga sat alone, in the dark, on the rail of an old demolished bridge. She looked almost dead, plaid in blood stained black paints and half her trademark cream jacket. Her once waist long hair was cut, unevenly, at her mid back, and her jacket sliced in half, showing off the bruised mid drift her fish net shirt could not hide. Any passerby would probably mistake her for dead even with the slight motion of her bare left foot swaying into her shoed right one. However, there were no passerby's in the desolate Forest of Lost Souls in sound country. No villages, no Animals, not even the sound of a bird in the distance, nothing but the quiet trickle of the dried up stream beneath her.
Hinata had been banished from Kanoha, she had lost her family, her friends, her home, and now her innocence. Nothing mattered anymore, not her wounds, not her pain, not her hunger, her thirst, or her life. Hinata was numb to everything but the pain, not even the rain could activate her senses.
Isn't anyone tryin to find me?
Won't somebody come take me home
It's a damn cold night
Trying to figure out this life
Wont you take me by the hand
take me somewhere new
I dont know who you are
but I... I'm with you
It wasn't her fault, she tried, she worked herself to the bone. She broke bones trying to please her father, but when he told her that she wasn't a worthwhile heiress; when he told her that she was useless to the clan; when he told her that, after all her hard work, that after climbing to the position of top medical ninja in the world, past Sakura Haruno, and the 5th Hokage Tsunade, without anyone's help; she snapped. Hinata Hyugga, the most tempered, shy, quiet, obedient, girl in the whole damn village, broke out into a rage. She began swinging at her own father, she killed him, she stopped his heart and killed him for a whole 3 minutes. She sent him to the hospital, her own father. And when he awoke, he had her banished from her village.
Neji fought for her, Kurenai fought for her, the entire rookie 9 fought for her. Tsunade fought for her, the Sand Siblings fought for her, all of Kanoha and half of Suna fought to keep her in the village, but it wasn't enough. It wasn't up to anyone of them, not even the Hokage. It was up to the counsel, the counsel that Hiashi's father was a part of, the counsel that wished to keep the Hyugga clan on their good side. It was their decision, and the decided to banish her from the only home she'd ever known.
Snap
Hinata jumped. Was there someone there? "H-Hello," Hinata's parched throat and weak lips slurred silently. She saw no one, she wanted to search with her Byakugon, but didn't have the energy to activate it. She tried, gently to slide off the rail onto the weak stream of water below her, but her battered body could not stand the low impact. She fell to her knees into the stream. Hinata was so weak, she had no food or water for days, she had wounds that she didn't treat, but none of that mattered, she had to find out who else was here.
im looking for a place
searching for a face
is anybody here i know
cause nothings going right
and everything's a mess
and no one likes to be alone
Hinata had been banished from Kanoha, but, she had not been banished from Suna. Hinata and Temari were good friends, and Temari had always told Hinata that Gaara had a huge crush on her, so they insisted on moving her there. But as much as Tsunade wanted to have Hinata escorted there, the counsel would not have it. So Hinata said her goodbyes, smiling at the promises of frequent visits, and set out on her own. She would not make it to her destination.
Pant. Pant. Pant. Pant.
Hinata walked shakily to where she heard the twig snap, her body fighting just to stay up right. She reached the broken twig and called out again. "W-who are you?" she asked, her voice barely able to reach a whisper.
Snap
Hinata looked in the direction of the sound. "W-who-s there?" she whispered, but still no answer. She limped over to the area where she heard the second snap. Once she reached her destination, another snap reached her ears. It was obvious that someone was leading her somewhere, but her blurring vision told her that she would not last much longer. "Please, I just want to know who you are," she called as loud as she could.
Isn't anyone tryin to find me?
Won't somebody come take me home
It's a damn cold night
Trying to figure out this life
Wont you take me by the hand
take me somewhere new
I I know who you are
but I... I'm with you
oh why is everything so confusing
maybe I'm just out of my mind
Hinata made the mistake of stopping for a rest before she entered the desert that surrounded Suna. She stopped at a watering hole and bent over to filled a canteen, but when she stood up, she found herself surrounded. 10 or 12 rouge ninja stared at Hinata like lions staring at a Gazelle doe. Hinata recognized them as what was left of Orochimaru's ninja army.
"Hey pretty lady, where you goin'" asked the leader. Hinata said nothing, she knew that she could not beat so many powerful ninja alone. Suddenly, she took off towards Sunna. She ran as fast as her feet could take her, but it wasn't fast enough, the rouge ninja easily caught up to her. The ninja began toying with her, throwing kunai just to scratch her and tear her clothes. Hinata could do little as the ninja began herding her off her course, and towards sound country.
Snap. Snap. Snap
Hinata continued to follow the sounds as quickly as she could, but her weak body could not keep going. "Please, I cant follow you for much longer," she said. "Please, I just want to know who you are."
There was still no answer, and Hinata dropped to her knees. "Please, I just want to know who I spend my last moments of life with," she cried.
"Get up." The voice was male, and Hinata could swear that she had heard it before.
It's a damn cold night
Trying to figure out this life
Wont you take me by the hand
take me somewhere new
I dont know who you are
but I... I'm with you
Im with you
The ninja chased Hinata for miles, days, until Hinata could no longer run. Her tired body finally dropped, and the rouge ninja gathered around her.
"That was fun," they said. "But I know as exercise that's much more… pleasurable."
"P-please, no!" Hinata shouted with tear filled eyes.
The rouge ninjas had there way with hinata for 5 days straight, and left her for dead in the middle of the Forest of Lost Souls.
Pant. Pant. Pant
Hinata was so tired, her whole body throbbed with each heart beat.
"Get up," he called again.
"I-I cant," she cried.
"Yes you can," he said. "Get Up."
"I can't… I can't do anything!"Hinata screamed. "I'm pathetic! I'm a burden to the world! I bring nothing but shame to my family! I can't do anything! Please, I just want to know who you are before I die!"
Hinata listened for an answer, but none came. She sat panting for a few moments, "A-are you still there?"
"Ya, are you done with you're stupid speech?" he asked rudely.
"H-Hai," Hinata said with her head lowered.
"Good, then get up," he said.
Take me by the hand
take me somewhere new
I dont know who you are
but I... I'm with you
I'm with you
"Get up," he demanded, obviously losing patience.
Slowly, Hinata forced her tired body to move. Each and every muscle in her body screamed for her to stop, but Hinata ignored them. Finally, after a minute or so, Hinata stood up, "Okay, I'm up," she said.
"About damn time," he said jumping down from the branch above her.
Hinata stood in awe as she realized who it was. Sasuke Uchiha, the rouge ninja that killed Itach Uchiha and the Sannin Orochimaru. She uncontiously tried to take a step back, but her weak body coul not keep its balance. She began to fall back, but Sasuke quickly shot out his arms, and lifted Hinata off her feet, bridle style.
"U-uchiha-san," Hinata said surprised.
"Ya," he said looking directly into her eyes. Hinata's instincts told her to look away, but she could not tear her eyes from his. "You're a mess," Sasuke said, keeping eye contact.
"Ya," she said, rather out of characteristic. Sasuke turned his head, and body, and began carrying Hinata away. "W-where-"she was about to ask.
"Rest, we'll be there when you wake," Sasuke said coldly.
'If I wake," Hinata thought. Hinata's eyes began to droop, and her neck began to lose the strength to hold up her head. Hinata fell asleep, minutes later, and Sasuke carried her off deeper into the forest.
Take me by the hand
take me somewhere new
I dont know who you are
but I... I'm with you
I'm with you
I'm with you...
Hinata woke slowly, she rolled onto her side, and began to take in her surroundings. She was laying on a soft bed of large leaves piled on the floor of a log cabin. Next to her a few feet away in the center of the room, a small fire burned. Hinata sat up, slowly the memories returned.
"U-Uchiha-san?" she called out.
"Sasuke,' he said entering the cabin with some wood.
"S-Sasuke-san," Hinata corrected herself. "W-where-"
"Stop the damn stuttering," he said. "Were at my place, in the middle of Forest of Lost Souls."
"Y-you live here?" Hinata asked surprised.
"Ya, Ironic right," he chuckled. Hinata smiled softly at his joke. There was a moment of silence. "Here," Sasuke said handing Hinata a bowl with what seemed to be soup.
"Arigato," she said taking the bowl quickly, she was starving.
"Don't get used to it, I expect you to cook from now on in," he said.
Hinata was too busy eating to really take notice of what he said. "Mm-hmm," she agreed.
"Slow down, you've been out for three days, you cant eat too much too fast," Sasuke warned her.
"Three days?" she asked after she finished. "I-I survived that long…" Hinata asked herself.
"Surprising, considering how badly you were wounded," Sasuke said.
Hinata looked at the messy bandages wrapped around her body. "Arigato Sasuke-san," Hinata said.
"Just Sasuke," he said.
Hinata nodded at him, she was quiet for a moment. "S-Sasuke," Hinata finally said.
"Stop stuttering," he replied.
"Sorry… why did you help me?" she asked him.
"Because," he said. "Because I need you," he said.
"Y-you need me?" Hinata asked surprised.
"I heard about your banishment," Sasuke said.
"You did?" Hinata asked, lowering her head. "Wait, how?" she asked suddenly.
"I still talk to Sakura," he said. Hinata was shocked, she had thought that no one had heard from Sasuke since he took down Orochimaru 2 years ago. "Anyway, he said, I thought, that maybe… we could help each other," he said.
"How so?" Hinata asked.
"I can give you a reason to live," he said.
"A reason to live?" she asked. Hinata was quiet for a moment. "What makes you think that I-" Hinata began.
"Just a huch, he said in a sarcastic voice. "I found you starving yourself to death, something tells me you didn't have much to live."
"And what makes you think you can-" Hinata began.
"I can give you children," Sasuke said, not looking at her. Hinata's face turned bright red at the suggestion. Sasuke fought back his own blush, "I… need a woman to help me rebuild my clan," Sasuke explained. "But I want a woman from Kanoha." He looked over to her, "I want you to bear me children."
Hinata was speechless, Sasuke was proposing to her sort of. "But…' Hinata said flustered, she really didn't know what to say.
"Hinata," Saskue said, sitting next to her on the bed. "Before I left, I gave Naruto control over the Uchiha distric, I left him instructions to take care of it, because someday, my family will live there again."
"Sasuke, I was banished, I can never go back," Hinata said.
"I don't think that they'll let me through the front gates either Hinata," Sasuke pointed out. "But still… the Uchiha clan belongs Kanoha… I can't change that." Sasuke was silent for a moment, and Hinata watched the thoughts go threw his head. "Hinata, when I was a child, the counsel decided to kill my clan… Itachi found out, and killed them first." Hinata was surprised, and listened closely. "He did it to save my life… He killed everyone but me, so that the counsel wouldn't care if I survived." Hinata could swear that she saw tears roll down his face before he turned away from her. "And now… the counsel has banished you… for no real reason but… you don't hate them do you?" Sasuke asked.
"No," Hinata admitted, she didn't blame them.
"And… for some reason… neither do I," Sasuke said clenching his fists. "I blamed Itach… so easily… but when I forgave him… I felt like I… was a man… like blame and vengeance wasn't the important thing." Sasuke paused for a few moments. "And its true, and I know now… that its not about getting vengeance for the past… its getting justice for the future." Sasuke looked into Hinata's eyes. "Do you belive that too," he asked.
"Hai Sasuke… I do," Hinata said, not looking away from his eyes.
"Then lets build a clan that believes that too," Sasuke said. "And when there old enough, we'll take them to Kanoha… to bring justice back home," Sasuke said. "We've both been burned by Kanoha's fire, but we can learn from the mistakes of or elders and… we may be able to tame that fire… so it'll bring warmth, without burning others.
Hinata's eyes were over flowing with tears. "Hai," she said. "I'd like that," Hinata cried, diving into Sasuke's arms.
