Hello, all. For those of you who have been reading my stuff since That Girl, I want to apologize to you for my lack of updating. I know you've probably seen me updating for my other stories that aren't SasuHina. I just feel like I'm not good at writing SasuHina but I started this story and I'm gonna finish it, damnit. I know you've seen how poorly this was written which is why I'm coming back to fix it and along the way, I'm gonna read through it and gather all of my thoughts so that I can start back up writing. Okay, that's the end of my rant. Thanks for sticking with me!
I don't own Naruto or the characters used in this story.
"Take me with you, guys!" Hanabi whined as I set our bags near my car. We still hadn't decided on who's car we're taking. Hinata smiled and shook her head as she slowly made her way out of the house and towards my car, lugging two suitcases with Hanabi tailing after her, sporting a pouty face. It's cute, but I'm not falling for it. Not this time anyway. The first time Hinata and I left, which was about two weeks after graduation, Hanabi completely ruined the trip.
We were invited to TenTen's parent's house and somehow, Hanabi begged and pleaded her way into going. Then when we got there, she started complaining about how she was 'so bored' and wanted to go home. So, Hinata and I had to drive her all the way back. This resulted in a pissed off Hinata, an upset TenTen and a furious Neji. Yeah, that's a great combination.
"No. Don't you remember what happened last time?" I asked Hanabi. She glared at me, almost as if she was trying to burn holes through my skull.
"I was young okay? Jeez, hold it against me why don't you…" Hanabi argued. Hinata looked at
me and raised an eyebrow.
"That was two weeks ago. You're still the same age." I commented as the three of us walked back inside. Hinata just laughed at our small argument.
"Yeah, but I'm more mature now." Hanabi stated, placing her hands on her hips in a know-it-all fashion. I rolled my eyes as I stopped in front of her and placed my hands on her shoulders.
"How about this…" I told her, causing Hanabi to look at me with expectant eyes. "High school graduates only." I smirked as I ruffled her hair. Her eyes grew wide as she pushed me aside and stomped her way into her room. I shook my head as I walked into the kitchen to find Neji.
"Ready to go?" I asked, leaning on the counter. Neji turned to face me as he took as sip from his mug.
"Yeah. I guess we're still waiting on Hinata…" He said calmly. I nodded, knowing that we most likely won't be leaving for another half an hour. Hiashi walked into the kitchen, stretching and yawning as he made his way towards the cabinet to grab two coffee mugs. Neji and I looked at each other and then looked at Hiashi's loosely tied robe and his 'I just had sex' hair.
"He's still got it." I muttered, nudging Neji with my elbow in hopes that hei was the only one who heard me. He damn near spit his coffee out as he laughed. Hiashi turned around to face us.
" You two graduated not too long ago and you're still childish…" Hiashi commented with an embarrassed flush splayed across his face. Neji and I could barely contain our laughter. "Why are you two still here anyway? Aren't you supposed to be going to some resort?" He asked as he began to stir creamer into one of the cups. Akane's to be specific. Hiashi drank his coffee black. I don't know how he does it. It tastes like what I imagine hot, dirty water would taste like. It's whatever. Not like I'm the one drinking it. "Waiting on Hinata I suppose?" He asked, sipping the dirt water from his mug.
"Will all of you stop acting like I take forever to get ready?" A playfully annoyed voice called from behind us. Hinata walked into the kitchen and greeted her dad with a kiss on the cheek.
"We wouldn't be saying that if you would just be ready on time." Neji commented as he took another sip from his mug, attempting to mask his little comment. Hinata pouted and tilted Neji's mug back, nearly succeeding in spilling her cousin's coffee on him.
"Hey, I'm ready now and that's all that matters." Hinata said with a hint of sass. Neji scowled at her as he finished off his coffee and put his mug in the sink.
"Whatever. Can we go now?" He asked as he made his way towards the front door. Hinata and I nodded as I pushed off the counter.
"You guys were going to leave without telling me goodbye? How rude!" Akane laughed as she padded into the kitchen and lightly hip bumped Hiashi. He smiled and kissed her temple.
"Bye, Akane." We said in unison. She smiled, waved at us, and with that, we walked out to the driveway.
"Soo, whose car we takin'?" I asked, putting my hands in my pockets. Neji tried to hold back the smile that crept on to his usually calm face.
"Sasuke, you and I both know he wants to take his truck." Hinata smiled. Neji cleared his throat and regained his composure. You see, Hiashi had gotten Neji and Hinata graduation gifts. Neji had obviously gotten a brand new silver, 2013 Cadillac Escalade. Hinata was given a very, very expensive shopping spree. Guess who got to tag along? If you guessed it was me, you are correct.
"If that's what you want." Neji spoke as he speed walked toward his truck and began to load our stuff. Hinata laughed as she walked over to help him. I shook my head and decided to help out. When the bags were in the trunk, we all got in. Hinata and I sat in the seats in the way back of the truck, allowing Neji to revel in his trucks glory in the front by himself. He didn't seem to mind.
"All set?" He asked as he started the truck, smiling uncharacteristically as the engine roared to life.
"Yep. Lets go!" Hinata smiled as she buckled her seat belt. Neji nodded his head and backed out of the driveway. Hinata rolled the window down and waved to Hanabi, Hiashi and Akane as they stood outside the front door, waving as if we were never going to come back. She sighed and plopped back down in the seat as I yawned and closed my eyes, shifting in my seat to get comfortable for sleeping. "Sasuke, it's twelve in the afternoon, how are you still sleepy?" Hinata said in a giddy tone as she poked my cheeks. I cracked an eye open to look at her.
"Because you insisted that we get up early to pack." I told her, closing my eye again. I felt a sudden weight land in my lap. Not a lot of weight but weight nonetheless. Sighing heavily, I opened my eyes, only to be stared back at by shimmering lavender eyes.
"Come on Sasuke. It's not that bad." Hinata whined, poking her lip out in a childish fashion. I rolled my eyes and placed my hands on her hips.
"Fine. I'll stay up. Happy now?" I asked with a slight smirk tugging at my lips. Hinata smiled and pressed her lips against mine and pulled away.
"Elated." She beamed before crawling out of my lap and over the middle row of seats so that she was able to pester her cousin.
"Don't forget we have to stop and pick up TenTen." She reminded Neji. He nodded in response.
"Why would I forget to pick up my girlfriend?" Neji asked in a smart tone as he turned a corner and pulled into said girlfriend's driveway. Hinata huffed at this and pulled lightly on Neji's hair, causing him to grab her hand and mush her in the face, as only a brotherly cousin could. "I'll be back in a minute." He said as he got out of the car before Hinata could assault him. Hinata then turned to look at me from the front of the truck as I closed my eyes.
"You'd better not go to sleep." She warned. I could hear her hands make contact with the leather seats, meaning she was making her way back to where I was.
"I won't, woman. Now be quiet for a minute, would you?" I joked as I let out a small chuckle. Not a moment later did I feel two hands dive into my hair and grasp firmly. Not painfully. It was actually kind of soothing the way she massaged my scalp. I felt Hinata's legs on either side of mine as she straddled my waist and sat in my lap again. "Keep doin' this and I just might fall asleep." I commented as I relaxed to her touch, enjoying the sound of her laughter.
"You look cute when you're relaxed." She pointed out with a laugh before I felt her smooth lips against mine.

Sasuke's hands massaged my thighs as I kissed him, delicately at first. Then, fervently. As if we hadn't kissed in forever, even though we had just kissed a few minutes ago. I heard the door to the trunk open, but that did not stop me from continuing to kiss Sasuke. Apparently, that wasn't stopping Sasuke either. The sudden words we heard however, did.
"If this is what happens when I leave you two alone for five minutes, imagine what'll happen if the two of you share a room." Neji joked as Sasuke and I turned to look at him. "Just try not to drool on my seats, okay?" He laughed as he and TenTen placed two suitcases into the trunk. Sasuke shook his head and gave me a quick kiss before I removed myself from his lap.
"Are you guys ready for the first unsupervised event of your adult life!" TenTen said enthusiastically as she hopped into the passenger seat.
"As I'll ever be." Neji answered as he got in and started the truck back up. I couldn't help but feel excited as I toed off my cyan boating shoes. They were cute. Plus they matched my tank top and my white shorts. Sasuke wrinkled his nose playfully, as if I had smelly feet. I lightly punched his shoulder as TenTen climbed out of her seat and into the row of seats ahead of Sasuke and I. "Quit climbing all over my damn seats, woman." Neji complained. TenTen smiled.
"Stop complaining and drive, man." She called back as she draped her arms over the back seat.
"This is going to be so much fun!" She squealed excitedly. I had to agree with her. No more parents and no bothersome siblings. Just friends. And Sasuke, but he's more than a friend.
"I know!" I told her. She smiled widely and showed me her hands.
"Look! They're shaking! That's how excited I am." She concluded as I took hold of her anxious hands and shook them like some girl at summer camp.
"Ladies, please. I'd like to be headache free when we meet up with everyone else." Sasuke whined. TenTen glared at him playfully.
"Aaaww, is Old Man Uchiha too old to enjoy a car trip?" She teased. Sasuke raised an eyebrow, as if to challenge TenTen.
"Old? You're at least six or seven months older than I am and I'm the old one?" He joked. TenTen placed a hand on her chest in mock hurt.
"You little brat! I'll have you know I look younger than you do." She retorted. I smiled and climbed over the seats while Sasuke and TenTen about who was old. It's nice to see everyone getting along so well.
"What the hell did I say about my seats, TenTen?" Neji asked as I climbed into the front seat, putting my feet up as well.
"Hey, I'm Hinata. And who do you think you are, yelling at me like that? The JiJi I know would never yell at his precious baby cousin." I teased as I poked Neji's cheek. When we were little, I called him JiJi until I was four. For some reason, I couldn't say my 'N's'. It always came out as something different.
"I think I'm the guy who's driving you around and you are not a baby anymore. Now get your feet off my seat." He laughed, half serious. I smirked and put my feet on the dashboard. "You'd better not." He warned playfully. I raised an eyebrow and rubbed my feet all over his precious dashboard. "You're disgusting." He laughed as he leaned over to move my feet. Neji and I continued our little spat and had small conversations for at least another hour, while also listening to our significant others quiz each other to see who was smarter. Sasuke easily bested TenTen. Had that have been Neji, it would have been much harder for Sasuke. Finally, we pulled into the parking lot of a high end resort, paid for by all of our family members. Sakura's, Sai's, Shikamaru's and everyone else's parents chipped in.
"Not bad." Sasuke said as he crawled over Neji's seats and out of the truck. Neji shot him a dirty look.
"You're gonna end up cleaning my truck, man." He said as we pulled our bags out of the trunk.
"I'll pay someone to do it. Sound good?" Sasuke asked. Neji rolled his eyes as our ears were flooded with the sound of someone's high pitched squealing.
"OHMYGOSH! Naruto, Sai, they're here!" A voice rang. A blonde and pink blur made its way over to the four of us and encircled our bodies.
"I missed you guys so much" Sakura shouted as she nearly squeezed the life out of us. "I haven't seen you guys in forever."
"We missed you too, Sakura. Now, could you let us go? I can't breathe." TenTen answered for us. Sakura obliged but I was attacked by four lean arms and two heads of blonde hair.
"Hinata! We missed you!" Naruto and Ino shouted as they hugged me like I was their long-lost child.
" I missed you too." I smiled as I hugged my friends.
"Enough with the sappy greetings. You guys should really come look around." Sakura piped up.
"I'd rather not take a tour. I wanna find everything by chance. To the pool! It's hot as hell out here." TenTen smiled, clapping her hands together for emphasis.
"You heard the lady, to the pool!" Ino shouted. I smiled and followed after her with my bag in tow. I think I'm going to love this summer. I assumed that the guys were following after us because I could hear some very manly laughing. Sakura and Ino had already checked everyone in, so all we had to do was go put our bathing suits on. To my surprise, everyone's room had been assigned and guess who I'm rooming with? Sasuke. Could this day get any better?
"I brought so many, I don't know which one to wear!" Ino fretted as she pulled out several different bikini tops. I picked an orange one up by the strings.
"Ino, these look like they were made to fit Hanabi. Not you. How are you supposed to fit everything into this?" I asked, holding up the orange cloth to my chest. I shook my head and tossed it at her.
"Don't judge me, okay?" She pouted. I shook my head and unzipped my suitcase, pulling out a lime green, zebra print bikini.
"I don't know about you, but I've got mine." I stated as I got up and walked into the bathroom. I came out several minutes later and revealed my ensemble. "On second thought, maybe not this one." I mumbled as I made an attempt to go back in the bathroom. I felt two arms pull me back out.
"Are you kidding me? That's perfect!" Temari beamed. I tried to cover myself, I really did.
"No. I'll just go get another one." I told her as I reached for my suitcase. Only to have it snatched away from me. "Ugh! Don't make me go out there like this!" I whined, my face heating up in embarrassment.
"Hush up and get out there before I hide your stuff and that's all you get to wear." TenTen teased. I pouted and slipped my peach colored sundress and my flip flops on before I picked up my swimming bag and walked towards the door.
"I hate you guys…See you in a bit." I mumbled as I closed the door behind me. I sighed and walked around for a bit, trying to find the pool area. I must have been looking down for quite some time because I walked straight into a wall of flesh. Great, now I've run into a stranger.
"Hey gorgeous." A deep voice spoke. At first, all I saw was feet, then salmon colored swim trunks, then toned abs, followed by these perfect pectorals that could only belong to one person. I snapped my head up to meet Sasuke's onyx eyes and his perfect smile.
"Hey you." I smiled as his arms circled my waist. "Salmon trunks, huh?" I asked as he kissed my forehead.
"You bought these." He laughed as we began walking. I raised an eyebrow and then lowered it. I remember when we went shopping, I insisted that he let me get them for him.
"Well they look nice on you." I complemented. He smiled and took hold of my hand as we made our way to a pool area. For some reason, I instantly got irritated. There were all types of girls in fancy, expensive bathing suits just lounging. None of them got in. Why come to a pool and not swim? I shook my head and set my bag down beside a long lounge chair.
"Sasuke! Hinata!" A voice called. We turned to see all of our friends walking in a group, lead by Naruto.
"Yo!" Sasuke called back. I smiled and gave a two fingered sailor salute to Naruto.
"I was expecting you two to be in to pool already." Shikamaru said as he sat beneath an umbrella covered table. Temari kissed his cheek and got up, sauntering over to me.
"If you don't take that thing off, I'll push you in the pool." She said in a playful tone. However playful she said it, I knew she was serious. I sighed and shimmied out of my dress while I thought no one was looking.
"Whoo! Someone's been holding out on us!" Kiba commented. I felt several pairs of eyes on me. Sasuke glared at Kiba.
"Don't act like you've never seen a woman in a bathing suit. Now quit ogling mine before I give you another hole to breathe out of." He said defensively. Kiba shot him dirty look. I guess they still aren't on good terms.
"Can we not argue? Let's just have fun." Temari stated as I stood up and kicked off my flip flops.
"Yeah, what are we waiting for? Let's go!" I smiled as I grabbed Sasuke's hand. He smiled and shook his head as we all made our way towards the pool. I love these guys.
And that's that. Review, please :) Next chapter: Summer Fun
