Summary: Hinata is in university studying literature. She's in her second year, fifth semester. She has been bullied all her life due to her weird eyes but lucky for her Neji and Tenten have always been there to help her deal with the teasing and the bullying. Just when Hinata thinks her life can't get any more complicated than it already is some one from her past pops back into her life. How will things be for her, will they become better or worse, read to find out? (I really do suck at summaries but at least read the first chapter and let me know what you think.)

Disclaimer: Sadly I don't own Naruto…

Surprises

Chapter 1: Another Day.

"Sasuke I am back."

"Sasuke!"

She heard the shower running as she approached his bedroom in search of him and decided to heat up the dinner that she had just bought to lay it on the table.

Smiling unknowingly she placed the last dish on the table, she stood back to admire her setting 'perfect' when she heard footsteps as Sasuke emerged from his room, "hmm smells nice."

Sakura turned her back to the table to face him and smiled again, "I thought you might be hungry so I grabbed some Chinese on my way here."

Sasuke gave her a small smile as he closed the distance between them, putting his hand under her chin he raised it up to look into her eyes and brought his face closer until their noses were almost touching. Sakura could feel his hot breath on her lips as she closed her eyes and inched her head forward to receive his kiss. Sasuke's other hand went round her tiny waist as he tried to press her to him and deepen their kiss.

Sakura couldn't help but moan in pleasure, her hands automatically went to circle his shoulders and her fingers tickled his wet hair at the back of his head.

Before any of them could get any more passionate, Sasuke backed away as his stomach growled in protest to not receiving any food.

"Hinata breath, yes yes just like that, nothing to panic about, I and Neji will help you look for it. Ok." Hinata nodded, eyes wide, sweat adorned her forehead as she struggled to control her panic attack.

Neji stared at his sister concerned, "Ok Hinata try to remember where you last saw or put it."

Hinata looked at Neji in is he serious kind of way and then exploded again, "I left it right there on my desk."

Her one second outburst died as she sat dolefully on the bed with a thud clutching her head in her hands, "what will I do, it's due on Monday and it took me a whole week to write it."

Meanwhile Tenten gave Neji a glare, she had just managed to calm her and it took him a second to ruin her efforts. "Hinata calm down, don't worry. Being panic won't help you or us." She pointed at Neji, "You help me look around the room."

Neji got up knowing better than to disobey Tenten when she was in one of her 'moods.'

In between the search Hinata remembered that yesterday two girls had come to her for help regarding their literature assignment. Now that she thought about it, they had asked something totally irrelevant to the topic and had left shortly afterwards. Hinata's eyes bulged with realization.

"Ano Neji nii-san," whispered Hinata.

Neji turned to look at her, she never said nii-san with his name, not if it wasn't important, as Tenten also stopped her search to listen. "I think the two girls who came to study from me took my assignment."

Tenten snorted, "stole is more like it."

"They asked me something completely unrelated to the topic that they wanted help with and now that I think about it they left in the middle of my explanation after one of the girls came back from the washroom."

Neji clenched his fists in anger as Tenten processed it, "you mean the ones I passed on my way here. One was short with straight black hair and the other was a bit taller with short brown hair."

Hinata nodded.

"Hinata do you have any idea why they did this."

Hinata shook her head, "they were first years, and the assignment wouldn't be of any use to them…"

"Unless someone put them up to the task," finished Neji.

"Madison!" they all spoke at the same time.

"But we don't have any proof."

Neji switched on his big brother mood, "not if I can help it. Hinata you start your assignment right away. You still have two days to write. Meanwhile Tenten you come with me, we are going to find out who those first years were and find out who put them to it."

Tenten smiled to herself as she hurriedly grabbed her scarf and sneakers to go with Neji. This is why she liked to hang out with him, she enjoyed the thrill, the uncertainty of the moment.

"Nope."

"Not them either."

Neji brushed his hand through his hair in anticipation, this was the second last page of the document and they still hadn't found out who the two girls were. Just when he was about to loose all hope, Tenten pointed to the two last pictures on the page, "that's them I am sure about it."

"Are you absolutely positive?"

"I am."

Neji clicked on their image profiles and opened their data. If any one found out that they were in the office, 'borrowing' some data after hours, they would surely get expelled.

"Names are Brenda and Millie, live on campus at the **** sorority…"

"That's Madison's sorority," interrupted Tenten.

"Really? How obvious can they be? This is too easy. Now we can pay them a visit tomorrow."

"But Neji how will we get them to confess? They are Madison's newly recruited goonies."

Neji chuckled at Tenten's use of words, "don't worry I told you I have a plan. Let's get going, the security man will be making a round in ten minutes and we need to get out before that."

Sakura opened her eyes, it was almost half past one and yet she did not want to leave but she had to, didn't have a choice, "I should get going."

Sasuke tightened his hold on her waist in retaliation, not a man of many words.

"Sasuke I have classes tomorrow." When he didn't loosen his grip, Sakura tried a different approach, she looked up and cupped his face in both of her hands, "please," she pleaded with hopeful eyes.

Sasuke sighed and released his grip on her, "thank you Sasuke," and gave him a kiss before darting off to the washroom.

"Hinata we brought dinner," shouted Tenten, on their way back they had stopped at the only Chinese restaurant that came in their way.

Tenten started to open up the packed items as Neji dragged Hinata out of her room. True it was two in the morning but none of them had eaten dinner yet.

"I am not hungry. Neji please I have to complete my assignment," groaned Hinata but her words fell on deaf ears as Neji pushed a chair back for her to sit in.

Tenten chuckled at the sight before her, "Hinata the only way you can leave this table is if you finish your plate."

Hinata lifted her hand with a solemn face and sad droopy eyes, "then give me my plate your highness so that I can do as you wish." And all three of them burst out laughing at her imitation.

Hinata ate hurriedly and left as soon as she was done.

"So what is the plan, huh?"

Neji got up to bring the data they had printed right before they had left the office, "tomorrow they have consecutive classes of Lit history and Lit core, and if you have noticed the distance btw them is of ten minutes if they walk from one class to the other. We could corner them and."

"And then what, they won't just hand back Hinata's paper on a silver platter and confess you know."

Neji scratched his head, "I know I was hoping to bring up some back up to intimidate them into confessing."

"That could work or why not use your boy charm; you know all the girls dig you."

Neji looked at her confused as if oblivious to what she had just said. Tenten rolled her eyes, "I meant all the girls on the campus find you really ho- I I mean handsome."

"Oh," Neji smirked and decided to tease her, "I heard you the first time." And started laughing as he saw Tenten blush a little but his laughter was cut a little short as his shoulder received a few hard punches from the fiery princess beside him. He loved to tease her, had been doing so since they were little and he never got tired of it. He loved it even more when she graced him with her anger, but not so much after a few hours when his body complained of the torture he so modestly received.

The next day (Saturday)

"Thanks Kiba, I owe you one, you're a life saver you know that."

Kiba chuckled; "just return the favor when it's your turn. Ok."

"Thanks again and bye." Hinata clicked her phone shut and got back to her assignment now that she had taken care of her shift at the café.

Neji and Tenten had just left mumbling something about some stuff to do which didn't surprise her not that she minded or anything, but she didn't like being alone in their apartment ever since Neji had 'enlightned' her and Tenten about their weird neighbors; she didn't feel safe alone.

"Why don't you just ask her out instead of doing her favors," suggested Shino as he grabbed a towel to wipe the counter clean.

Kiba growled, "man you don't know her, she's you know."

Shino looked at him confused. "You know she's delicate," finished Kiba.

"Just admit it, your afraid that she won't return your feelings, isn't it."

"Yeah and what if things between us don't work out. I don't want to ruin our friendship." Shino stopped cleaning for a second surprised at Kiba's honesty; he must be feeling really gloomy today.

"Look Kiba if you don't take a chance, you will never find out. High risk high return. You will have to take that chance."

"Don't throw business terms at me." Snarled Kiba but then mumbled. "I'll think about it though." Just before he greeted another customer.

Shino adjusted his glasses triumphantly; he had met Kiba and Hinata at the university and had instantly become friends with them. Back then they were freshmen looking for a job and he was looking to hire some people for his little project/business that he was running at the beach.

"Sasuke what do you think? Are you in?"

"About what Naruto?"

"Teme! Don't tell me you forgot, the bleach plan, one month from now; you know white sand, cool breezes, sunny skies and best of all lots of relaxation." Naruto paused for an answer and then continued on receiving none, "you know if you won't go then Sakura won't go and if she won't go then Ino won't go and if she won't go then…"

"Ok ok, fine I am going, happy."

Naruto slapped Sasuke on the back for which he received a glare which Naruto happily ignored as he was so used to them, "thanks and Sasuke we'll be staying at your private beach."

Before Sasuke could grab Naruto and roast or punch him to death which ever helped him relieve his anger better he had already said bye and left. Instead he opted to slam the door as hard as he could while leaving the building. He would get even with Naruto for tricking him.

And Before Sasuke could think of calling Naruto and telling him 'no' he started to receive messages of thanks from several of his friends for arranging for them a place to stay in.

Sasuke scoffed, he had to hand it to him, Naruto had done it this time.

Hinata looked at the clock, the whole day had passed and there was no sign of Neji or Tenten. Just then the door opened and slammed shut as both of them barged into her room

Tenten was grinning from ear to ear. Hinata looked at Neji's hands to believe what her instincts were telling her and sure enough that was her name on the top right corner of the paper and that was her hand writing.

Hinata got up and hugged both of them. Taking the paper in her hands she looked at them still not believing her eyes, "how did you guys get it back?"

Neji beamed at her, "I told you I would do something."

Tenten smiled, "come on Hinata let's go celebrate. We'll tell you all about it over ice-cream."

Hinata smiled back, "sure, why not."

"Don't get to happy you'll be paying for it, since me and Neji did all the work."

"And I thought I was the unfortunate one who had to write her whole paper again."

Tenten ruffled her hair, "I am just kidding with you."

Then they both looked at Neji, "no, everyone pays for their own ice-cream."

"Aw come on Neji, we'll pay you back it's just ice-cream, doesn't cost much."

"Then why aren't you paying for it and don't think I have forgotten the last time you both did this, no this time I am not budging, PAY-FOR-YOUR-OWN-ICECREAM."

Neji should have known better than to live with his sister and best friend, he after all ended up with the repercussions like now for instance, he was the one paying for their ice-cream.

"Aw don't look so sad, look you've made two people who are dear to you very happy," stated Tenten grinning widely.

Neji didn't reply instead opted to sit down on the chair with a thump.

"Kiba over here," waved Hinata.

Tenten and Neji both gazed at her incredulously, "What? Look I invited him since he helped me out by taking my shift at the café today."

"I thought you were stuck in your room doing an assignment over again."

"Well Neji and Tenten got it back so we came here to celebrate, want some ice cream."

"No thanks." Kiba sat down beside Hintata curiosity perked his interest, "how did you get it back."

"That's a pretty interesting question, why don't I let Tenten answer that," replied Neji.

Tenten looked angrily at him but then got excited and started to talk.

"Whoa don't tell me it was Madison, man Neji why didn't you take me along, I would have loved to see their faces when you guys busted them."

"You were busy taking care of Hinata's shift remember."

"Right. Anywho I have to go, in a hurry actually. See you later Hinata. Bye."

Neji also got up, "I think it's getting pretty late, we should also get going as well."

Tenten nudged Neji, "bully alert two clock," she whispered.

Neji looked up and started mumbling curses underneath his breath, "come on Hinata, hurry up." He didn't want to create a scene here but if they didn't leave soon then he wouldn't have a choice.

"I am done, let's go."

They had very narrowly missed the scene lucky for them the other party hadn't spotted them yet.

White pair of eyes stared back at him, calm and serene at first but then their gaze turned into a glare and stared angrily at him. He started to run away from them but he couldn't get away from them. They were everywhere, haunting him where ever he went.

"Sasuke, wake up." His head tossed to the other side, before Sakura tried again, "Wake up Sasuke your having a bad dream."

He sat upright in his bed, he looked around confused.

"You were tossing and turning in your sleep," explained a very concerned Sakura, "here have a glass of water."

Sasuke took the glass and drank a sip before putting it back on his bedside table to lie down again. He had been dreaming about those eyes for some time now, some time they would be smiling and teasing him and at other times they would be scary and haunting just like the dream he had today. He looked at his watch, three in the morning, better to sleep than to wake up so early. He tuned to his right, snaking his hand around Sakura's waist, he held her tightly against him and went back to sleep.

I hope you're not mean enough to just read it and not let me know how it is. So please review, whether you liked it or anything you found that doesn't sit well with you. (PLus any comments and suggestions would be welcome)

Bubii.
