Authors Notes: this is officially My FIRST SasuHina fic that I WON'T delete this time hopefully, there may be some OCness in the characters...(allows a few blows) Sorry! Naruto's the player in the story, the one who jumps from girl to girl! I just can't think of anyone else! Waah!
Chapter 1 The Sign Says Men
Today was Hinata Hyuuga's special day, she was happily and secretly baking a cake for her boyfriend Naruto Uzumaki's birthday. "Naruto kun, I'm so happy for you," she whispered happily to herself as she stirred the cake batter. It was chocolate, Naruto's favorite cake flavor, she smiled smugly a bit pleased with herself of thinking such a clever plan. Naruto Uzumaki loves her food.
"Otanjoubi omedetou Uzumaki Naruto!"
Naruto stands surprised outside of the BBQ steak house, he was almost teary eyed, everyone has been ignoring him today because they were all busy preparing his surprise birthday party. "Thanks you guys, this is really awesome!" He joined the others as they playfully punched him and pinched his cheeks, he was growing up so fast!
"Yo Naruto, this better be good!" Kiba shouted over the exited screams of others.
"Really! This is a party for me?!"
"Yeah," Sakura answered him smugly as Naruto embraces her, she pushes his face away from hers.
"So, Naruto! Sasuke kun's invited too!"
"Sasgay?! Aw, not him! I didn't invite him over to MY party!" He received a smack from Sakura, there was a large swell on his head.
"Don't you dare call him Sasgay!"
"Agh! Sorry, sorry!"
Unknown to them for the moment, Hinata stares longingly at her boyfriend from behind the kitchen, she giggles as she watches her boyfriend running all over the place being chased by Sakura. Hinata felt a little bit of jealousy towards the two ninjas playing around.
"Oh well, I'm his girlfriend after all," Hinata sighs. Naruto and Hinata had been dating for two weeks now, after she had confessed her feelings for him. Strangely though, Hinata doesn't feel that what she's doing was enough, she still remembers that night. It tore them both apart.\
Flashback
"Hinata chan, it's Naruto." He was standing outside of her room around midnight. Everyone in the Hyuuga Compound was asleep so Naruto wasn't easily sensed.
"N-Naruto?" a sleepy voiced echoed back to him, "Naruto, w-what are you doing here?"
"I-I wanted to see you, can I come in?"
"Sure, wait." Naruto heard a small squeak of the floor and flinched as she slides open the door, he was greeted by Hinata Hyuuga who had just waken up. "H-hi, I was thinking about you too."
"Yeah? Well, I'm here now," Naruto says as he enters Hinata's dark room, it was lighted only by a single candle. "Shh, quiet or Neji might find you."
"Yeah." Hinata gently slides the door closed and threw herself into Naruto's arms. "I want to take you," Naruto murmured smelling her hair. "Tonight."
"What? Demo!" She suddenly felt very uncomfortable in his arms, she wasn't ready. Just not yet. "Naruto kun."
"Hinata chan, don't you love me?" he whispers softly into her ears, she trembled under his warm tingling breath.
"Yes, I love you. But-"
"But what?"
"But I don't love you enough to do this!" she whispers harshly as Naruto began kissing her. "No, get out please!"
Hinata had not meant to send him out that night, but she was confused. Naruto had taken it too fast for her, it's only been a mere two weeks! Still, she wanted to learn, to love Naruto more than life. She still needs to learn more about him, not just because she can have him for her desires. No, Hinata didn't want that kind of relationship, she wanted to be loved by Naruto, not have him love her body.
"Naruto! You bastard!" Sakura screamed breaking Hinata from her thoughts, she sure was loud.
Naruto had tears in the corner of his eyes as he rubs the swell on his head gingerly, he winced when Sakura glares at him.
"Hmph, that'll be your birthday present! Naruto!"
"Oh yeah, where is Sasgay- I mean Sasuke?" Naruto dodged a flying fist from Sakura, she sighed when she hits air. "Huff, missed him," she thought as Naruto lands behind her pinning her head against a wall. "Ow, okay, ookay! Let me go, I'll tell you! He says that he'll here soon, just wait."
Sakura claps her hand and she proudly whistles loudly as a signal. Everyone gasped, except for Neji and Shino when Hinata arrives with something rather sweet looking, it was on a rolling cart because it was so big. "Naruto, look, behind you!" Sakura shouted excitedly.
Panicked, Naruto turns around and gasps at the sight of a mouth watering delicious looking cake being rolled out by Hinata, and it was huge. "H-Happy birthday Naruto kun," a small voice coming from the Hyuuga Heiress. "I-I baked this cake f-for you." She blushed trying to hide her smile, Hinata was really happy for him. "I-I hope you'll like it." Naruto leans forward and kissed her on the cheek, making her blush even more, she smiles appreciatively.
"I do like it, Honey chan."
"Eh, heh. I'm glad you do," she said inaudibly, she has an adorably cute smile plastered on her face, Naruto's eyes were cold though and it made her flinch. He hasn't forgotten what she did that night, what he's just done now (kissing her on the cheek) was a mere whim. Just so he doesn't upset her cousin Neji, just so he doesn't tear apart his name. Naruto Uzumaki was to blame for her unhappiness that was beginning to grow from the pit of her stomach.
"They've already started, hmph. Doesn't matter, they're eating disgusting sugary stuff anyway." Sasuke was standing at the doorway of the BBQ shop, looking at the happy participants of Naruto's eighteenth birthday. He kicked at the dirt below his feet and sighs. He was late because he forgotten about Naruto's birthday, and left to buy a sucky present that he knows Naruto likes. Porn magazine. "Maybe I'll show later."
"Well, at least he finally gets the attention he wanted so badly," Sasuke snickered as he brushed his long bangs away from his eyes. "What a joke."
"Hinata chan! this cake's great, give me the recipe!" Ino complimented, her cake was indeed delicious. Even Neji complimented on the cake, although he doesn't eat sweets as much. "Al-all right, I will Ino chan." She looks at her cake, trying not to stare at Naruto the way she longed to. Truthfully, she wasn't as hungry as she thought she would be, Hinata was too sad to eat her cake, too bummed down.
Something wasn't right, Naruto has been ignoring her the whole time. Was it something she said, or did. Of course, it's because Hinata had refused to sleep with him. She couldn't help it, Hinata was still pure. Naruto was known for hooking up, then breaking up after he's done. It would be awful if something like that were to happen, but still...she longed for him to smile at her again. Not at Haruno Sakura like the way he's doing it now.
"Naruto kun, why are you smiling at another already?"
Naruto excitedly jumps from the restaurant seat and dragged Sakura outside with him, it was nearly midnight by then. To celebrate a party so late was the only time they have, since during the day they were busy attending meetings and missions. "Sakura, c'mon!" Naruto said pulling her hand, Sakura grabbed a handful of potato chips on the way out stuffing them into her mouth. "Hold on Naruto, I'm not done eating!"
"Well, you better, cause I can't wait. It's been too long."
"What?"
Hinata stares at the opened door in horror, what now Naruto? She was truly hurt inside, already beginning to fall apart. "Naruto kun, is the rumors true about you?"
Hinata heard from many girls that Naruto has a long time crush on Sakura, and she only found out later after they both began dating. She doesn't want to believe them, and even refused to. Now, they were right, Hinata should've believed them the first time. she followed the two, unnoticed by anyone except for Neji who made no mve to follow."
"Time has come for Naruto to make his move again, tried to warn you Hinata," he mumbled as Hinata hurries out.

"Erm, Sakura?" Naruto was sitting beside Sakura on the roof of BBQ, they were both staring at the night stars. "Yeah Naruto?"
"Are you happy for me? That I'm eighteen now?"
"Why shouldn't I be? after all, you've grown up some. If you would only stop being such a womanizer perverted freak"
"What!? I'm not perverted"
"More ways than you think, I saw you trying to look down Hinata's chest, drooling hungrily."
"Hey! well, it's because you're a flat chest! Who has bigger breasts other than Hinata Hyuuga?"
Hinata who was nearby blushed at such a phrase, she was listening close by behind them without them noticing, she was sad though. Her night taken away, maybe her chance will come later.
POW! Sakura angrily smacks him on the face, his nose bled and his he has a black eye.
"Gah! Just kidding! Sheesh! Trying to kill me!?"
"Well, at least Sai is here, and Kakashi sensei, and Neji-" Sakura stopped in mid sentence, interrupted by Naruto who was impatiently waiting to get his words out.
"Yeah, I know, I know. And you even have my girlfriend bake that cake, it was good."
"Yeah. I like her cakes, until you just have to drag me out! I have to give mine to Chouji!"
There was a silence, Hinata was glad that there was nothing going on. She was just about to return back to the restaurant until-
"Sakura, I like you."
Hinata froze, she had just heard her boyfriend confessing to another girl.
"Yeah, I know. It's such a pain," Sakura groaned, she stretched her arms towards the sky.
"Eh? Naruto likes someone else?" Hinata thought as she brought her finger to her lips, she tries to keep from making a noise.
"I'm serious Sakura, I like you. I was wondering-"
"Naruto, you're serious? You're never this serious."
"Sakura, I love you. Go out with me." There was a stunned surprised silence, Hinata was trying not to release her tears.
"N-Naruto kun, I-" Sakura doesn't know how to respond, especially after he confesses. "You have a girlfriend."
"Yeah, I know, but it's only because I wanted you to come after me, I mean after I date Hinata. Er, how do I say this?"
"Naruto..."
"I don't love Hinata the way I love you, Sakura. I have been liking you for a long time, ever since we were genins."
"Really? Nut I thought it was a joke," Sakra replies, she tries to avoid looking into his eyes.
Hinata was unable to listen any further, she quietly but quickly jumped off the roof and stood in front of the building. She didn't hear the rest of Naruto and Sakura's conversation, she was upset, and hurt. "Naruto kun, why live such a lie!" She ran towards the building and silently, tearfully waited for Naruto. To tell them that if he doesn't love her, then it's over.
"Naruto kun, I'm happy that you loved me...demo-"
"But what?" Naruto asks abruptly, he stood and hovered over her.
But I love Sasuke kun," Sakura whispers.
Another moment of silence until Naruto could process the words.
"No. That can't be right. Sasuke, always Sasuke!" Naruto shouted, he stomped on the roof.
"Not too loud, others below might think of something crazy."
"But I am crazy!" Naruto hissed, he grasps his head. "You make me crazy each time!"
"Take a hike, Hinata may be wondering where you are. You should tell this to Hinata chan."
"What!?"
"Love Hinata chan, for her sake. She really loves you, give her a chance to."
"But I did, she rejected me."
"Give her some time to think it over Naruto, and I'll stay out of your way."
"I love you Sakura, why don't you give me a chance."
"You're taken Naruto, I cannot take you," Sakura says gravely as she stood, "I'm going down." She jumps off the roof and enters the restaurant silently as if nothing had been going on. She didn't notice Hinata who was hiding behind the other building nearby. A moment later, Naruto also jumps down from the roof, and greeted mysteriously by Hinata.
"Naruto kun, it's over," she whispers as cold as ice. "I won't get in the way of your and Sakura chan's relationship." In a flash, she also ran inside to the restaruant crying. Naruto stood there dumbfounded, looks like he won't be able to do as Sakura says after all. "Hinata chan..." He knows that Hinata heard it all.
"How could I be so blind! Of course he's in love with Sakura!" she says as she pushes open the door to the bathroom. Through her tears, she didn't notice the different alignment of the toilets. She pulls out a paper towel and washed her tear stained face still sobbing.
"What's that noise?" a manly voice asks from the corner of the bathroom.
"Oh, what am I doing? Now I'm imagining voices of men in the women's bathroom! Am I really that hurt by Naruto?"
"Heh, I'm not surprised," the voice seemed to have lighten up a little. Ah, so it wasn't her imagination, then what the hell is he doing in the Ladies Bathroom? Hinata glanced in the mirror and saw Sasuke Uchiha's face, he was annoyed but smirking as if he was amused.
"Curious of how the men's toilets work? Don't mind if I show you." Hinata gasps in horror as Sasuke motions to the zipper on his pants, but stops and smirks when he saw her looks on her face.
"Heh, I thought so, if you aren't curious, then why are you here in the men's room?"
"Men's room?" Hinata repeated, she looks around herself horrified. " Can't you read? The sign says men."
No wonder the toilets looks so funny, embarrassed she blushes immensely.
"I-I'm sorry. W-wrong bathroom." She walks towards the door and pushes it open, still shocked and embarrassed.
"Why are you crying for that dobe?" Sasuke asks her, she was stunned. Kiba pushes himself in, drunk. His eyes widen when he saw a female in the bathroom.
"Heh, must've been the wong bathwoom," he slurred. Kiba walks away into the other bathroom and the rest was followed by screams of women. "What! This is also a Ladies bathroom? what happen to the sign that says men?!" Kiba shouted.
"Why should you know Sasuke?" she asks bluntly as she walks out of the bathroom, the tears had not disappeared yet.
"Maybe because I want to know if it's worth crying for, Hyuuga."
"Eh?"
TBC...
