A/N: Here's a new story I came up with while being totally bored at a South African camping weekend. I was so fuckin' depressed when I realised that we were going to be camping on the opposite side of the Bloodstock festival grounds because I really wanted to go! But at least I went to the Download Festival! So much fun! Sorry I'm babbling now… anyhoo this is another new story and I hope you guys enjoy it!

Quick note: I have not, I repeat, I have not given up on any of my stories! It's just been crazy with the end of year school stuff and crap and a load of other stuff that I haven't had time to write but now I do and I will be updating soon on ALL my stories! ^.^

"Talking"

'Thinking'

*Change POV*

I don't own Naruto

On with the story!

*Sasuke's POV*

I looked at the woman sitting in front of me in shock. What the fuck did she take me for? Why the hell was I supposed to do this? Why can't she ask someone else?

"Look I'm not asking for much, I just want you to woo her or something and then break her like a twig. It's that simple. I know you need the money Sasuke. Don't try and hide it either because I know that you do." She said with a sly smirk on her face.

It was true; I really did need the money that she was offering. I needed the money because I had no job or anything at the moment. I was completely broke with a small cup of ramen in the cupboard and milk that's been off for a week. That was all I had for food. I didn't even have a job!

"All you have to do is win her over and when you have her push her to the curb. That's all." She said. Her smirk had long disappeared and was replaced with a hard frown. I sighed in defeat. I knew this was my last option. I was stooping way too low for my liking and this was cruel, even I knew it.

"Fine." I stated through gritted teeth.

"Good!" Her smile was back and her red lips spread across her face. "Here's all the information I have on her." She pushed a thin brown folder across the table towards me and stood from her seat. She smoothed her grey dress out and made her way towards the door. Her heals clicked and clacked against the wooden floorboards and as she opened the door she looked over her shoulder. "You have nine months Sasuke."

The door slammed shut and I could still hear her heels clicking against the floor as she made her way towards the elevator. I stared at the folder for a few seconds, contemplating whether or not this was a good idea. I knew it wasn't but at least I had some money to survive for a few months and try and find a job and complete my school work. I grabbed the folder and sat back on the couch.

Over the ten minutes it took for me to read the folder I had learned more than enough about the girl. She was eighteen and went to the same school that I was transferred to a few weeks ago so at least we could see each other. Her grades were immaculate and the top of her class. She had a few friends but not many. She was basically the nerd of the school. Her home life was a bit hazy. She lived by herself in a small apartment a few blocks away from the school. Her family had kicked her out when she was sixteen, leaving her to fend for herself. She worked at a small theme café after school every day except Saturdays and Sundays.

That was everything that I knew about her. I had seen her around a few times, dodging between people to get to class. On the very first day I was there she had dropped all of her books because some stupid moron had knocked her into the lockers.

I unclipped the photo that was in the folder and examined it. Yep, that was her. The long hair that was so dark it looked like a bluish purple colour. Her thick round glasses placed on the bridge of her nose, her pale eyes staring back at me. Her pink lips were quirked up in a shy smile, but it never reached her eyes. A soft blush dusted her cheeks and gave the complete look of innocent, shy and scared. I placed the photo back in the folder and slid it across the table.

The next morning I awoke tangled in the sheets of bedding; the smell of ramen wafted through the air and tickled my nose. God damn it! I told him to knock not just enter my house when he pleases! I tried to un-tangle myself from the sheets which proved to be disastrous as I went flying into the wall head first. A headache started up as I pulled my leg free from the sheet and stood in the corner of my pathetic excuse of a room.

"Ne Sasuke you should really wear something when you sleep." Naruto, my 'best friend', stated as he walked into my room eating my last cup of ramen. "It's not a pretty sight for anyone." He slurped up the noodles in the cup and fluffed up his hair with his hand when he was done.

"Oh please, you wish you could have a body like this." My sarcastic tone came along with the smirk that I always had on my face. Naruto turned to me and laughed.

"Hurry up Assface; we need to go earlier today." He called over his shoulder as he made his way towards the living room.

I grabbed my clothes and changed into them. Today was going to be fuckin' long! Why was I stuck with him? Once I was changed into my usual dark and baggy clothing I brushed my hair and grabbed my bag. Slinging it over my shoulder I turned to Naruto who was still sitting on the couch. He was reading something on the table and then I realised that it was the folder. Fuck my life! Why the hell did he always have to go and pry in my things?

"What is this?" He asked with a confused expression etched on his face.

"It's nothing." I turned to the door but he stood up quickly and grabbed my arm.

"Sasuke, what the hell is this? Are you stalking her?" He asked in disbelief.

"No! I'm not stalking her." I gritted out.

"Then what the fuck is it then? Why do you have a fuckin' folder with everything about her in it?" He asked annoyed; he was getting angry with my silence. I knew I had to tell him he would only find out sooner or later.

"Ah," I sighed. "This woman came here last night. She said she would pay me a lot of money if I go out with her and then break up with her in nine months in December. That's it OK." I said and shifted my bag further on my shoulder. The look on Naruto's face was priceless as his mouth hung wide open and his eyes wide as plates.

"Y-You… You can't be serious!" He screeched in my ear. I cringed back at his loud outburst. "That's fuckin' insane! You can't just do that Sasuke!" He ranted and clutched his head. "Oh my God some sick ghosts possessed him! My best friend is a sick disturbed person who has a black hole for a heart!" He looked at me and his anger was clearly evident in his bright blue eyes. "What the fuck made you agree to this? Sasuke, you can't just go around playing with people's emotions. What if she falls for you and then you break up with her and then she gets depressed and-and-and," He seemed to be stuck on his words and then as if a light bulb had switched on he said. "You can't do this to her! She's too innocent for you!" He screeched out.

My God he had to stop sounding like a fucking girl! He had no idea what situation I was in at the moment. Well, actually he did. Naruto knew everything about me.

"Listen you blonde idiot!" I hissed at him while reaching out to grab the collar of his shirt. "You of all people should know what situation I'm in. I can't find a fuckin' job, I have no money for food yet alone to pay the damn bills and I have no one to help me. This is how I'm helping me!" I shoved him back and he stumbled into the back of the couch.

"But you can't do this! It's so wrong!" He sounded defeated.

"I know its bloody wrong!" I shouted at him. "But I need the money and at the moment I'm desperate OK? Yes the Sasuke Uchiha is desperate for once! Are you happy now?" I asked. Opening the door to my apartment I grabbed my keys from the shelf and motioned for him to get out.

"No, I'm not happy you selfish bastard." He said as he walked passed me. "I'll help you, you know that right?" He said as I locked the door and headed for the stairs. The elevator had broken down again sometime during the night.

"I know, and I also know that you don't have money to help me. So, I'm just going to do this until I find a job and then quit it." I said. That was the plan. She had given me twenty thousand, half of the original amount she offered, last night and once the job was finished I would receive the other twenty thousand. But, I had already thought of quitting as soon as I found a decent job. That was the plan.

"It won't be that easy. People willing to pay that kind of money usually get a job done." He said as we made our way down the road towards and turned a corner. The walk to school only took fifteen minutes.

"I know but I can at least try." I knew it wasn't going to work. It was a gut instinct.

"Well I'm here for ya dude." He slapped me on my back and laughed at my frown. I knew he was there. He was always there! An annoying blonde idiot who never fucked off!

"Yeah, yeah whatever…" I grumbled.

"So… How are we going to do this?" He asked placing his hands on the back of his head.

"I don't know… Become her friend?" I suggested.

"Sasuke! You have to do something that she'll notice. I mean she's probably the only girl in the entire world who doesn't obsess over you twenty-four-seven!" That was true… I think.

"Well it's not like you have anything better!" I exclaimed.

We walked in silence for a few minutes. As we rounded a corner to walk down to the school Naruto jumped up and down in front of me. He had a huge smile on his face and his eyes shone with mischievousness.

"I've got it!" He exclaimed still jumping up and down. "She's the quiet nerd and you're the insufferable jackass!" My face dropped further as he said the last part. I wasn't insufferable!

"What the fuck is your point?" I asked as I moved around him to carry on walking.

"That is my point!" He shouted happily. "She's the shy quiet nerd and you're the dark and popular emo! It's perfect."

"What is?" I was getting frustrated with his babbling.

"Do what they do in movies. She gets bullied by most guys and girls. You can be her Hercules! Her Tank her… Her… Her emo saviour."

"Her Tank?" I asked with a raised eyebrow.

"Yes!"

"You've been playing way too many online games." I said to myself as I carried on talking. "So you're telling me that I should just save her from being bullied and she'll like me?" I asked.

"Well it usually happens like that. The sweet and innocent girl falls for the brooding emo!"

"I'm not an emo."

"So all you have to do is save her from something!" he carried on talking a thousand words per minute as we entered the gates of the school. "I've got it! I'll get her to fall or something and you catch her and save her and then she'll love you for saving her from a very messy death." I almost laughed at the scene I imagined, almost.

We walked towards Kakashi-sensei's class as Naruto kept coming up with absurd scenarios. He had said he would knock her so that she fell down the stairs but I would have to catch her quickly unless I wanted her to die or break a couple bones. There was one where he would pretend to spill paint on her but I would stop him and save her from the embracement. The things the blonde came up with!

We entered the class room where a load of other people sat including her. She sat near the back of the room right against the window. She was engorged in her thick book while Kiba spoke animatedly in her with a grin on his face as he watched her expression. I sat at my usual place next to Naruto near the back on the opposite side from her. Her face was bright red as she looked up at Kiba with a startled expression etched into her features. She shifted in her seat and adjusted her glasses before nodding her head a few times as Kiba leaned forward. Aw damn it all to hell! She was probably dating Dog-face! Fuck, fuck fuck! I turned to the front as Kakashi-sensei walked through the door. For once he wasn't late!

"OK listen up you brats!" He shouted over the noise of the talking students. "I have some good news for you." He said with a smile from under his mask that hid half of his face. "There's a school trip coming up in a few weeks. I have the forms for you here and according to Tsunade-sama everyone in this class has to go on the trip. It's a competition that she won over the radio and a few other schools are talking part in it as well."

The class seemed to be buzzing with excitement as they broke out into chattering. He class fell silent as Kiba shouted.

"Hinata can't go!" He said with worry in his eyes. "Neither can I!" He added almost as an afterthought.

"Well Kiba you have to go. This is part of your overall grade for quite a few subjects because once we're at the venue there are going to be small competitions that everyone has to take part in. If you don't go on this trip then you fail a few of your subjects. And we all know what happens then."

The class was silent as Kiba looked as though he was going to lunge at Kakashi-sensei.

"Well, what if something prevents you from going?" Kiba asked with gritted teeth.

"Oh, and what might prevent you and Hinata from going on this little trip?" The teacher asked with a raised eyebrow, daring Kiba to say something.

"Hinata has a ch-"

"Kiba-kun!" Hinata squeaked out as she clamped her hand over Kiba's mouth firmly.

"Nothing! W-W-We can go!" She stuttered out and tried to glare at Kiba.

Kakashi-sensei seemed to be happy with that as he began to hand out the forms. Naruto was bouncing around in his chair as he grabbed the paper from Kakashi and scanned over it.

"We leave two weeks from today. The trip will only last one week. Make sure to have all of the items required on the list on the paper. The attached letter needs to be handed in tomorrow and that's it. Any problems go see Tsunade-sama." The bell rang as soon as he said that and everyone made their way out of the classroom.

Naruto was pestering me about how I should be her superhero and save her. We walked up the stairs towards our first period class, science. We took our seat as Kabuto-sensei walked in. He explained to us that we were going to be mixing chemicals to create some type of reaction. I zoned out as I stared at her. She was sitting by the window as per usual with Kiba next to her. She was always with Kiba. Were they really in a relationship or something? I pondered on the thought. No, they act more like brother and sister. I helped Naruto mix the chemicals and soon Kabuto-sensei was screeching at us for nearly blowing up the class room because we mixed the wrong things together. He told us to get out of his classroom as soon as the bell went. We headed towards the second class, food. That was when Naruto decided to put his so called 'genius' plan into action.

*Hinata's POV*

I scolded Kiba quietly when he was getting annoying. He wouldn't stop pestering me to see him again. He had bought a lollipop that he had told me to give to him and wouldn't stop talking to me about him. Numerous times people had given us weird stares as I clamped my hand over his mouth and hissed at him to shut up. He should know by now that it's a bad idea to talk about him at school.

"Hinata!" Kiba whined as we headed towards our food class. I looked at him to show him that I was listening as I walked down the stairs. Kiba was about to say something when someone bumped into me causing me to lose my balance and footing. I flung my arms out and tried to grab something. I felt a hand brush my arm before Kiba grabbed my hand and pulled me back into his chest. I let out a gasp and pulled away so that I wasn't leaning against his broad body. I held the railing trying to catch my breath I looked behind me to see if the person who bumped into me was still there. Nope, it was just me and Kiba standing on the stair case. Well, at least I didn't fall to my death.

We entered the class and took our usual place at the back of the room. For some reason, Kiba loved to sit at the back of the room instead of the front or middle. I don't know why I guess it was just a guy thing. I put the apron on and tied the knot at the back. Kiba turned around so that his back was facing me and without a word I tied the lose strings into a knot for him. We had no teacher today but we knew what we were supposed to be doing. Kurenai-sensei always left the recipe on the board for us and at the end she wanted it sitting on our desk at the end of the less. Anyone who failed to make it got a week worth of detention.

Kiba and I began to prepare the ingredients for the cake. I mixed in the amounts required as Kiba did the cleaning and packing away. We had worked together so many times that it was just our usual routine. He was busy drying the spoons and bowls as I smeared out the mixture into the pan to place in the oven. I walked down the middle isle towards all the ovens. I checked to see if the temperature was right and walked back to grab the mixture. As I walked past the numerous desks littered with used bowls and pans I sighed. When will they learn that they need to clean up after themselves? I saw Naruto and Sasuke bickering with each other. Sasuke was pointing a very sharp knife at Naruto while Naruto was doing the exact same thing to Sasuke. They glared at each other before Naruto smiled and looked up at me. I blushed at his attention and moved down towards the desk I was working at. I was about to reach out for the bowl and as I took a step forward I saw my leg go up and the lights on the ceiling come into view. I was let out a yelp as I felt myself falling back. Someone grabbed my arm and pulled me back up before I could reach the floor. I looked at my saviour and it was Kiba, as usual. He was always the one who looked out for me. I was such a klutz that I would even trip up over thin air, or in this case slip on a spilt egg.

"Damn it Sasuke!" I heard Naruto shout. Kiba pulled me up and smiled at me before grabbing the bowl and heading towards the oven.

When the bell rang the cake was ready and the entire work area was clean; although that wasn't the case for everyone. Kiba and I headed towards our usual place for break. We sat outside under the trees and I ate my apple while he ate his chocolate.

"Kiba-kun, you need to eat healthier things. You can't always eat chocolate." I said taking another bite from the juicy red apple.

"Geez Hina you sound like my mother." Kiba pouted and stuffed another piece of chocolate in his mouth.

"Kiba-kun." I was going to shout at him if he brought the topic back up.

"Stop worrying Hina, I won't bring it up, but!" he shouted as he shifted to face me completely and crossing his head.

"What?" I asked with a sigh as I finished my apple.

"I want to go with you to pick him up!" He said with a smile. I knew Kiba loved him like a little brother and I knew that he really wanted to see him. "Pwease?" He begged me with his puppy-dog eyes. Oh dear God how can I say no to that face?

"Fine," I huffed in defeat, "but, you can't give him any more sweets! Last time he was so hyper that he wouldn't sleep at all and then he got into trouble for sleeping in class." I sighed as I remembered what had happened. Trust Kiba to bring him a huge bag of sweets and tell him to hide them away from me.

"I'm sorry I just couldn't help it." He said. We had a few more minutes until the end of break.

The rest of the day passed quickly but very weirdly. Numerous times I had tripped up or fallen over or had something smack into me. I was going to be black and blue tomorrow! What the hell was going on? A few minutes ago someone had tripped me up in the hall and I went flying into the lockers but before I could actually slam into them Kiba had pulled me back but it was weird. Every time I tripped or something happened Kiba would save me but before he could touch me I would feel a hand on my arm or something of the sort. Oh Gods! I was being haunted by ghosts! That would explain the small light touches before Kiba would save me!

I was very cautious at lunch as I knew something was going to happen. Before I knew it someone was running towards me with a tray and looking the other way. When I wanted to move out the way I was pushed towards them and almost collided with said person but luckily Kiba was there right beside me and it happened again. Even Kiba mentioned that I was getting bruised more today than any other day.

By the time it was last lesson, swimming practise, I was a complete wreck! I was looking out at every single thing before I made a step just to make sure that I wasn't going to kill myself. I hated swimming practise with a passion. At least it was only girls who were looking and not the boys. I was very self conscious of my body. I wasn't like the rest of the girls. They had lush hair and even tans. Legs a mile long and the body to die for. I however had dull hair that was in dire need of a cut. Pale skin that was on the verge of looking sickly. I was short instead of tall. My hips were too wide, my boobs too big for my body and as I put my swim suit on I realised that it was getting too small for me.

The one piece clung to my body like a second skin as I squeezed my way into it. The straps cut into my shoulders slightly and pulled across my chest, forcibly crushing my boobs together. It clung to my bum and the edges of the swim suit cut into my skin and already it was beginning to create angry red lines along my bum.

I wrapped my large towel around my body and headed towards the pool that was located outside. The teacher, Anko-sensei, was standing in her usual place by the pool. She wasn't in a suit instead she was the usual attire of a black shirt and trousers. She blew the whistle and told everyone to line up. We did as she said, I was the only one with my towel wrapped around my body all the other girls lined up and looked as though they were tanning.

"Right a slight change of plan ladies." She announced. "We have a competition today." Her smile showed that she was enjoying every second of it. The door on the other side opened and another class of boys came out. I saw Kiba talking to Naruto and gasped as they took a seat on the bleachers next to the pool. I tightened my towel around me and blushed as Naruto smiled at me with Kiba. Sasuke looked like the usual brooding teen he was. He sat back as the girls next to me gushed at his 'cool' and 'mysterious' ways. "Ladies, meet your opponents!"

"Ohh…" Sakura sighed next to me. "I wonder what his abbs taste like…" She sighed again and her eyes went googly at the sight of him. He didn't look that delicious to me. I preferred the Blonde next to him.

"Right, we're just going to run through the routine of diving, metres and stuff!" Anko-sensei shouted.

We were told to sit down until our names were called. I sat down making sure that my towel was wrapped tightly around me. I shifted on the bench and squeaked when an arm was slung over my shoulder. It was Kiba. He had a huge smirk on his face as he pulled my towel playfully.

"Hmm… I wonder what people would say…" He said out loud. He tugged at the towel again.

"Kiba-kun…" I warned him.

"Fine, I'll stop but you shouldn't be that self-conscious about it." He said as he leaned back still with his arm dapped over my shoulder.

"Why are the boys here?" I asked. I really wanted to say that I was feeling sick and ditch class but I knew that was wrong. Well… I was feeling a bit suffocated because of the stupid swim suit that only now decided to shrink!

"Something's happening in our class and they've told us to share with you. Don't know why though." He replied running a hand through his messy brown hair.

"You really need to learn to brush your hair. It's going to get damaged if you just leave it. You also need to go for a cut, it's getting too long." I said. "Look," I pulled at some of his hair, "it's almost reaching your shoulders!" I exclaimed as he swatted my hand away with a scowl on his face.

"Stop acting like my mom." He said. His name was called along with a few others as. "Well, wish me luck! I'm next." He smiled and got up from the bench to run to the diving board. I waved at him as he climbed up the very long ladder towards the very high diving board. I hated diving. No matter what I did Anko-sensei always found something wrong with it. You're arms were in the wrong position; you need to keep your legs straight you need to do this and that and everything else!

I watched as Shikamaru took a lazy dive and even though Anko-sensei screamed at him he just shrugged her off and sat back down. Gaara was very good at diving just like Naruto was and Sasuke. They all seemed to float in the air with such grace and dive in the water with little to no sound. Kiba however just jumped in and create a huge splash that all the girls cried out over because they got their hair wet. Well duh! It wasn't called water sport for nothing… idiots.

The girls were up next and Anko-sensei called out our names in order. I was called after Tenten then Sakura, Ino and Karin were next. I made my way over to the ladder, I was about to let my towel drop next to the stand so that I could grab it as soon as I was done.

"Geez, hurry up we don't have all day!" Karin hissed as she walked up to me to tell me to move it. I let my towel slip from my body, God this was so embracing! I couldn't even afford to buy myself new clothes yet alone a swim suit! Why did this have to happen now?

I let the towel drop to the side and began to climb up. My cheeks heated up as I heard the girls talking behind me and laughing. I reached the top of the platform and waited for Temari to dive. Tenten was next.

"Aw! Look at it; I would have thought that someone her age would wear something other than childish things such as a one piece." Sakura said as she stood behind me. It was true; everyone in the swimming class had bikinis because they were 'better'. They were not better for me! I was already self conscious when I was wearing my usual clothes! Therefore I was the only one with a one piece.

"It's something not even my grandma would wear." Ino stated as she looked at her nails and laughed.

Tenten took her place and was preparing herself to dive. I was so nervous with all of the eyes that were staring up at the people who were diving… And I was next! I turned around as Sakura spoke about me again.

"She can't even do a simple dive Karin how the hell is she going to win the competition?" She laughed at that as she caught my eye and smirked. "Isn't that right Hina-chan?" She asked in a mocking tone. Why the hell did they have to be like this to me? I never did anything to them!

"True, true." Ino said taking a step forward as Tenten leaped into the air and let gravity pull her down.

Great, gravity was on everyone's side except for mine today. I bet I would most likely trip and fall flat on my face instead of gracefully dive into the pool below. I took a hesitant step forwards as the queue moved with me. I stood at the edge and looked down at the bleachers. Everyone was staring at me and talking away. I caught Kiba's eyes and he waved at me, I waved back.

"Oi," I was tapped on the shoulder and I turned around to look over at Sakura who had an annoyed expression. "Stop waving at your boyfriend and dive idiot." The group behind her laughed. I was hesitating as they laughed louder. "Aw, is little Hina-chan scared? Do you need a bit of encouragement?" She asked. Sakura took a step forward and put her hand on my back. My heart raced as she put pressure on the spot.

Everything seemed to happen in slow motion. I took a step back but she had already pushed me over the high diving board. I could see the bright blue water from the pool and then everything flipped and I was staring at the clouds drift by so slowly, just as slowly as I was seeing everything. I couldn't breath as I felt myself fall, not even a sound escaped my lips besides a gasp as I tried to breath. The feeling of falling was weird, it made me feel weightless. The clouds were the only thing that I could see and the bright blue of the sky, so smooth and flawless.

Something smashed into my back. The shock of the calm water hitting my back and dragging me down was unbelievable! The force of everything knocked the breath out of my already starved of oxygen lungs. I my eyes stayed open and stung. I was completely paralyzed and nothing would function. The only thing I could see was the white of the disturbed water and a dark figure heading towards me. I could feel the water leaking into my mouth and forcing its way down my thought and into my lungs. I screeched in pain as I hit the bottom of the pool and everything went black. Now I was scared. The only thing I could think of and see… Was him.

A/N: OK so that's the first chapter hope you enjoyed! I hope it sounds OK because I'm trying a few different things with my writing style. My friends keep telling me to 'expand' on my writing so here I am trying to 'expand'. This chapter was originally 32 pages long and had 17,525 words in it! My longest chapter I had ever written! But I decided to shorten it because it sounded too dragged out and sluggish so separated it into three different chapters! I'm going to stop babbling… again… Well, I hope you enjoyed this chapter. Please review (good or bad, both are welcome) and thank you for reading. ^.^
