I'll See You Around

The first time that Sasuke noticed Hinata was the day after he was dragged back to Konoha from 'Team Snake', on the way to see Tsunade. He was walking around town, heavily guarded by ANBU, when he spotted a timid lady with an armful of groceries laced with flowers.

The young woman had her charming, pale face lined with long, shiny, ink blue hair draped gracefully across her slender shoulders. One of the most noticeable features of the kunoichi was the pastel, purple eyes that shined like the moon.

As Sasuke stopped to stare at the tiny figure (much to the ANBU's hatred), her arms clumsily slumped and all of her items crashed to the floor.

The white-eyed girl gasped and jumped to the floor, hastily picking up the fallen objects.

Seeing that no one was helping, Sasuke made his way over, the ANBU watching intently.

His midnight black hair, spiked in many places, bounced ever so slightly as he slid over. Sasuke's obsidian sharp eyes narrowed as he asked a simple question.

"Do you need help?" His voice sounded like one a gentleman would use, yet somehow cold and steel like.

It was surprising how many red hues Hinata turned.

"…S-sure," she stammered, hugging the picked up flowers to her chest.

Sasuke leaned down to help her, soon handing the Hyuga her items.

"Thank you," she whispered, "b-but I-I never saw you aro-around Konoha… Wh-what is you-your name?"

The Avenger smirked. "I never saw you around, either. What is your name?"

"H-Hinata Hyu-Hyuga…"

"Sasuke Uchiha, at your service." He brushed his lips against her cheek and murmured, "I hope to see you around."

And with that said, he rejoined the ANBU black ops, walking towards the Hokage Tower, leaving a blushing, dumbfounded Hinata.

"Yes, I'll make sure I'll see you around…" Sasuke thought, running his hand through his tresses. This was going to be fun…
