Sasuke and Naruto were racing to training with Kakashi-sensei (even though Kakashi would probably be even later). Running through the marketplace was probably not the best of ideas. Sasuke was sure Naruto would run into somebody. "Loser, be careful, you're gonna knock someone over!" But it was too late. He had. And it was Hinata.

The poor girl fell with her limbs flailing and her groceries flying everywhere. "S-sorry!" She squeaked. "I-I'm so clumsy! Ex-c-cuse me!"

Sasuke rolled his eyes and snorted. "It was this idiot who knocked you over, Hinata," he said, pushing Naruto forward. Hinata looked up and when she saw who it was she ducked her head and meeped.

"Sorry, Hinata-chan," Naruto put his hand behind his head, "but we're late for training, so we'd better get going."

Sasuke grabbed the retreating boy's collar and pulled him backwards. "Hey loser, aren't you going to help her pick her things up?"

"I don't wanna get punished when Kakashi-sensei finds out we're late," the blond pulled out of Sasuke's grasp. "I'm leaving."

Hinata blushed even more and dropped her head to hide the tears that threatened to spill over. She reached for a package but somebody else grabbed it first. She looked up in surprise and found that the hand belonged to none other than Sasuke. "Um, S-sasuke-san," she stammered, "y-you can g-go to t-training too. I-It's m-more important."

He blinked at her and returned to collecting groceries. "Some body should teach that idiot some manners." He finished packing the groceries and stood up. "Here," he said, shoving a hand in her face. "What are all these herbs for?"

Hinata stood up slowly and said, "I l-like to m-make s-special t-tea for Hanabi-chan and N-neji-nii-san."

"Hn," he nodded. "Well, you should be careful. You never know when some idiot might run into you." He stared at her for a moment. She blushed and blinked at him. The he was gone in a flash and Hinata walked off, dazed.

Naruto joined Sasuke as he ran into the forest.

"Careful, Sasuke, your nice is showing."

"Shut up, Naruto."


I am not good at working the little line function thingy. Anyways, I hope you liked my story! Though I did pull it out of my ass during another enjoyable stint at the hospital. :P If you did like it, or even if you didn't like it, I would love it if you would take the time to review! I love constructive criticism. It helps me get better. ;)
